I see both as important. Cutting out Sokka's sexism to me just toned down his entire development when meeting Suki. In the cartoon he had to be humbled in so many ways and rethink his worldview. In the Netflix show he respects Suki perfectly well. His only fault is that he sees her as his kin rather than someone who is way more experienced and definitely better in destroying that melons.

The new show sadly makes this mistake over and over again: they smooth most character's edges, tone down their struggles and get rid of their flaws and thus also of any true development.

why do I see people complaining left and right aboout them cutting sokkas sexism arc but not about them completely cutting sokka out of the jet arc??? which in my humble opinion was much more important to sokkas character development overall and as a leader. sokka being the only one not blindly believing jet and his heroic act and instead trusting his instinct and revealing jets twisted morals and cruel plan that could have led to the death of a whole village full of innocent people??? no one???

Maybe I’m just being bitter about Jason Dohring here, but I feel like the whole izombie arc this season was too one-sided (minus Dohring’s impeccable acting which brought some nuance into it). I know Fillmore Graves went tyrannical with its power and was much too excessive in their solutions, but what Liv was doing wasn’t as heroic and “brave” as it was made out to be. She’s just lucky she has daily access to food.

Turning people into zombies when there is a known shortage of food isn’t humane, it’s foolhardy and short sighted. I realize these people had life threatening ailments but why the f is immortality some sort of cure for everything when there are larger problems threatening the quality of life of that immortality—problems that jeapordize the safety and health of the greater population??

Honestly, Chase’s character went about it the wrong way but the issue he was trying to solve was real and pertinent, and all these hero types on the show were just ignoring it.

There actually will be shown romance between two important female characters, who really have feelings for each other. And while Eve is bisexual, too, we don't really know much about other characters. Of course we see their heterosexual romances. BUT when it comes to homosexual interaction between two of the characters (one not known as being bi), there is nothing like "not into your gender, sorry". It's just talking about why it doesn't feel right emotionally, leaving the sexuality of said character more open.

I kinda get what you mean, but I feel like "They were straight before they met me" is more of a joke. Cause as you realize: The show doesn't depict Lucifer as manipulating people into stuff, he's just able to find out their true desires. Therefore all these characters mentioned must've been lgbtq+ before and he made them realize/act on it.

Also, at least to me, it's clear that Maze is sex hungry or more hungry for anything she thinks is exciting (like party, violence, action and so on, too) because of her demonic nature. Or - what seems to be the reason for Lucifer - because they want to enjoy the possibilities of the human world to the fullest, while actually searching for something more meaningful. And looking at Lucifer: he never cares about acting appropriately or doesn't know how to in like any social situation (not just sleeping with married women, what btw didn't bother the husband at all sooo). Angels, demons, the devil and goddess herself intentionally or unintentionally breaking society's rules was always a part of the show.

So I get what you mean and of course it can always be done better, but I still appreciate the show for having poc actresses and normalizing different sexualities in the way it does. Same gender kisses/romances/sex are just there without being discussed differently than heterosexual attraction. I mean, don't get me wrong: it's important to have shows, movies and books that talk about issues that lgbtq+ ppl face in their lives, but it's so refreshing to see that it's handled as no big deal in Lucifer.

Okay, I love the show Lucifer. I think it's funny, the protagonists are compelling, and the story is fun to watch (even though I hate cop shows but that's another story for another time). But there's one thing that really, really bothers me about this show.

Lucifer is canonically bisexual in the show, and Maze is either bisexual or pansexual. Except, we never see it. At least not in the first three seasons. (I can't watch past that. It's too cringy for me.) The only queer kisses we actually get in the first three seasons, are jokes. Lucifer says he's bisexual, that he's slept with men, but we've never seen it. Maze makes references to sleeping with women and kissing them, but we've never seen it.

Lucifer and Maze also remark multiple times that the people they've slept with "were straight before they met them(Lucifer and Maze)", which plays into the harmful bisexual stereotypes that all bisexual people are predators and will "make you gay" so straight people shouldn't enter into relationships with bisexual people of the opposite gender. It's also shown that Lucifer and Maze sleep with people who are married, implying another harmful stereotype that bisexual people will make you cheat on your spouses. They are also shown to be sex hungry and will do anything to sleep with people, showing the harmful stereotype that bisexual people are never satisfied in a relationship and they always want more.

I think that Lucifer, for everything that it's done, was a project written by old, white, straight, cis men who don't understand how to write queer characters without playing into harmful stereotypes, and only showing their characters kissing people of the opposite gender. Not to mention how few people of colour Lucifer is shown to be attracted to, and sleeping with.

So yes. I love Lucifer. But I also think it can do better.

Theres people who think Chase Graves was worse than Blaine deBeers

I can’t let Maze go alone. Someone needs to cover her back. Thanks little human.

“There’s that moment where Chloe’s phone rings, and Chloe throws the phone away. That’s a love letter to the fans. The fans are always writing about how the phone rings at the worst possible moments, and we notice it, and we are also aware of it, so there’s little things like that we throw in […] that is us speaking to the fandom.” — Joe Henderson

100% me right now, not gonna lie

Somehow I’ve found myself deep in an iZombie hole…writing fic for Chase Graves/OC.

HERE I AM. TRASH. TOTAL TRASH.

[just-a-series-junkie]

I didn't know I need this in my life

“It’s too bad that we’d never seen Chase behaving like the brains he ate when he dined at Romero’s.”

[just-a-series-junkie]

Chase Graves deserved better

Don’t even try to change my mind. I hate what they did with him in this season. He was put into situation he wasn’t prepared to deal with and got lost.

[just-a-series-junkie]

I don’t know why, but I can’t help loving Chase 😍
