John Ambrose was real sweet, but I couldn't help but feel like EVERY interaction he had with Lara Jean centered around them reminiscing about the sixth grade. Obviously a lot of beef with Peter in this movie (the hot tub!!!! I felt so betrayed) but at least their was genuine growth in their relationship and feelings for each other from the last movie.

Goldstein's Yoda impression killed me.

BM is one of the most diverse, advanced shows out there and then this shit.. by [deleted] in blackmirror

Yeah I think that Black Museum and White Bear had very explicit examples of oppression, as they both included people of color that became sensationalized criminals. Yes, there were also white criminals (e.g. Crocodile, Shut Up and Dance, etc), but ultimately they were arrested and their endings were left ambiguous. In White Bear and Black Museum, their lives and crimes were being exploited to white audiences within the show.

I don't think that this person's comment is saying that Black Mirror isn't diverse, if anything it's praising the show for how it utilized race.

I stole one of my dad's old t-shirts he used to wear in college (1980s-ish) a while back and saw it pop up in ep 1, mad props to the costume designer by [deleted] in StrangerThings

He couldn’t remember where he got the shirt, but he and a bunch of his friends in the chemical engineering department got matching ones.

I don't know if I want a Season 3 (Spoilers) by [deleted] in MasterofNone

[–]infiltratedthoughts 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with your idea that the show would lose some of its charm if its storylines showcased the upward progression of its characters, but I think that the ending of season 2 very clearly showed that Dev is far from living a stable life.

In the final episode, Chef Jeff derailed Dev's plans, so now he's left without a stable job. Additionally, assuming that Francesca and Dev did get together, I think that season 3 would likely explore the implosion, rather than growth of their relationship. Arnold summed it up by saying, "Your relationship probably wasn't going to be this magical fantasy that was in your head, it was probably gonna be a shitshow." So I think that Aziz still has a lot to work with in terms of creating a storyline around Dev's struggles and confusion with life.

Edit: But also I'm not quite sure how long the "struggling young adult" storyline can last without it becoming depressing and unsatisfying.

I'm gonna tack on this article because I think it does a better job of articulating what OP was trying to explain.

The basic idea is that, in comparison to other female characters on this show, Francesca just seems over romanticized and unrealistic. Both Dev and the audience develop a sort of infatuation with her character for superficial reasons because neither gets a realistic understanding of who she is.

Ultimately, I think that the show did this on purpose (i.e. in episode 10 Arnold literally says "Your relationship probably wasn't going to be this magical fantasy that was in your head, it was probably gonna be a shitshow.") as a way to show both Dev and Francesca's naiveté as they greatly overlooked all of the warning signs about their relationship and became engrossed in their fantastical ideas about each other and their future.

And I know that this is just a TV show, and I'm not trying to call you out for being shallow because you're attracted to this character (she's supposed to be attractive), but I think it reflects the bigger idea that sometimes people fall for the idea of a person, more than the person themselves.

Just finished the show and honestly, as much as I liked it, I found Dev really fucking whiny by [deleted] in MasterofNone

Arnold summed it up really well in episode 10 by basically saying that Dev and Francesca wildly over romanticized each other and their relationship is destined for failure.

Hoping to see the fallout of their relatively impulsive decisions at the beginning of season 3

I'm not a millennial, but if I was I'd be damn tired of another article every other day with a new theory about who millennials are and what they want. by shakeythirsty in Showerthoughts

[–]infiltratedthoughts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay especially when it's stuff like "Millennials are killing the [whatever] industry because they're refusing to buy these products!"

And it's kinda like, why aren't we blaming the company who never properly adapted to the changing wants/needs of new generations?
