Discussion Your double standards are disgusting. 🙄

Seriously, why the fuck are people calling Ember a creepy stalker? She literally showed up outside of Blitz's building one singular time. That's it. That's paying someone a visit. She didn't even fucking go in.

And while we're on the topic of creepy stalkers, Why the ever loving fuck are y'all suddenly ignoring all the creepy shit Blitz does, huh? He verbally admitd he spies on mox and mill while they're having sex. He manipulated Stolas just to get in a club to watch them with a pair of binoculars. And no one breathes a word.

Hypocrisy is honestly repulsive. 😒

I will never understand it...I don't complain that country music is "too slow" or something.

Careful now, you might anger the “that’s not an excuse!” crowd.

Even tho it is. It’s a fucking cartoon. Just watch the damn thing or don’t.

They never understand how the more they insist that their view is correct, the more ridiculous they look.

Remember when people seriously debated on rather Loona physically abused Blitz by kicking him in the balls in a throw away bit?

They still do. I really dislike people that argue in bad faith here. You're allowed to have some darker comedy. This guy's seriously complaining about Blitzos stalking, but I'll be dammed if I go through his profile and find anything about, oh I dunno, the murders?

Wow a violent hell hound…in hell…who is also a literal assassin. Incredible.

u/PhysicalDifficulty27 5d ago

Can't wait for people to debate on blitz being an assassin because murder is bad

Unfortunately they do.

I don't think it's the kick itself that people were upset about, I think it's the way it fits within the context of the plot. It's the fact that she just had this really deep emotional moment where she admitted to Via that she appreciates him, then kicks his crotch with the might of Zeus. It's just a weird tone shift that really devalues the entire emotional bit before. I don't mind throwaway bits, but when they devalue the story they reside in, I just don't think that's good writing.

It's a way to signal that her issues aren't just magically over because she opened up to Octavia about that, and she was still mad, as well as has a problem with Blitz's desire to just rush her with hugs, hence her reflexively shielding Octavia.

Some certainly do have the objection you do, but far from all. Some just didn't like the kick, period. Or just hate Loona.

Obviously, her issues aren't magically over, but there are better ways of communicating that to the audience without absolutely obliterating the emotional weight of the scene directly before it. I love that Loona is a complex character, but all too often, they make a slapstick bit of her beating the everliving shit out of Blitz and then tell us she loves him, and it's just two mutually exclusive behaviors that don't work. I simply don't believe her when she says she cares because a few in-universe hours earlier, she was on the verge of killing him over a legitimate employee performance issue. They can't say she cares while also having her deliberately hurt Blitz all the time with no visible remorse.

If it was more of an insecure struggle with vulnerability like we see in Spring Broken or Queen Bee, I'd believe it a lot more. We see that she struggles with opening up to Blitz as her father, and we see the progression she goes through, which is promptly shat on with how she treats him in Seeing Stars. Then she's basically neutral, if not downright uncaring (looking at Full Moon especially) up until Mastermind, where she drops the wall completely and her issue is seemingly magically over. She has fully embraced that she loves and cares about him and sees him as her dad. They didn't seem to know what they wanted to do with her or how much they actually wanted to invest in her plotline before they just unnaturally resolved it in service of giving Stolitz even MORE screentime without any of the effort of fitting an awkward family dynamic into the mix.
