It kills me how little self-preservation Carmen has, how much she disregards her personal safety. She decides not to see Gray again not because of the reasonable concerns Player mentions, but because she fears putting Gray in danger. Her safety does not come into play in the equation.
And, sure, her "occupation" is always dangerous but she's never trying that hard to stay safe. Whatever is necessary to get the job done.

gonna put my brocedes herstory degree to use:
i found these pictures from the US Grand Prix 2019, November, where Nico talks to Lewis at his car ft his bodyguard

Tumblr media Tumblr media
I matched the outfits (love the blessed muffler) to the date and
then it clicked. this was the US Grand Prix in 2019 -- aka where Lewis cinched his 6th World Title. This is from qualis, but Lewis needed just 8th or higher to win, so everyone knew walking into that match race that Lewis would become world champion that weekend. Apparently, Lewis' car had porpoising and it hurt his back, he qualified fifth, and would finish the race 2nd (more than enough to win the championship)
Nico was congratulating him for it 🥺

What's flabbergasting to me is how Supreme Leader is like Imma make sure my attackers never do this again by siding with them and pointing her blade at an organization that had nothing to do with what happened to her and didn't even know what happened? The logic makes no sense and we're supposed to buy it. I guess you could say she was conditioned by them but still.
That's why we have 4 years of discourse discussing the ins and outs of the Crust System (idk if the games even mention it!), and how Church BaD because it made people value Crusts so Supreme Leader's crusted present was offered because, uh, people wanted a leader to be super strong so with another Crust -
(the theory falls on its face pretty quickly, because if a Crust makes you stronger, Church or no Church, people would want one to be "stronger" !)
Then some people say Rhea BaD because she should have done something to prevent said experiments (but then she's also BaD for rekting people when they plan to kill her, so whether she takes action or not, she's BaD) - and it's like blaming the UN for a traffic accident in Paraguay.
That's why some other people (count me in!) theorised Supreme Leader's reasons were way too bullshitty, so either she was manipulated and buys something that doesn't make sense, or she knows it's senseless but uses her charisma to turn people against the Church and it somehow works (always be afraid of charismatic people!).
The entire premise of Ludwig directing the experiments is already shaky at best (he deposed Ionius who wanted to centralise everything on himself becoming too powerful and then... he went on create a super powerful emperor ?) and we know Ionius had a hard on for imperialism (like many Emperors before him) and Adrestia in general didn't like the CoS because they recognised Faerghus's existence, so add to that Mole People slithering around, and what's completely bullshitty is, still completely bullshitty, but it you suppose that the bullshit reasoning hides a deeper goal "get rid of the nabateans and conquer the world", it's a tool, like any other, to reach it.

INSANE that this is the first porky movie since the groovy goolies one. which i assume is porky focused because he’s in the title. Sure bugs replaced him as The mascot but still yknow???? Yknow??????
Anyways im SO excited for this movie i PRAY it comes out
I KNOWWWWWWWWWW HE DESERVES IT!! GOD all of what i’m about to say is nothing you lovely people haven’t heard before because i have terminal I Love To Repeat Myself disease, but it is legitimately soooooooooo so so heartbreaking how slept on and under discussed of a character he is. have said it a million times but despite Daffy barely squeaking by as my #1 favorite i talk about Porky SO MUCH because the gospel of the pig needs to get out there! i truly think he’s one of the funniest and most sincere and most versatile characters the studio has to offer and very enigmatic and it’s really really sad that he barely gets any recognition outside of “the guy who stutters” or “the that’s all folks guy” or “the boring pig” (NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
the Duck Dodgers TV series was originally intended to be a movie if i recall but they scrapped that and turned it into an actual series (and for the better i’d say), likewise deleted footage of Back in Action showed him having slightly more significance (but not by much.) i sincerely hope that with this upcoming movie—and LTC as a whole—that it inspires people to look into both his cartoons and the Porky and Daffy dynamic more as a whole because i think it too is a dynamic that is incredibly slept on
part of why i’m so crazy about Porky and/or Porky/Daffy cartoons is the NOVELTY of it all—again, have said this all before but growing up in an era dominated by the Jones and Freleng interpretations of the characters i never knew that LT shorts used to be in black and white or that Porky used to be so popular or that Porky and Daffy were THE duo that represented the studio for a good number of years. and i’m definitely a person who flocks to novelty more than something that’s more polished, so discovering this whole branch of cartoons that have Porky and Daffy killing each other or being besties or whatever else have you just felt like an entire treasure trove! because all i had known were typical pair ups like Bugs and Daffy or Bugs and Elmer or Bugs and Yosemite Sam and all that. and it helps that the Porky and Daffy shorts are so unique through their versatility too, there’s an overlying theme with them all but they are both characters who aren’t nearly as bound to formula as the others and there’s more room for experimentation which is something that really interests me more personally as well.
BUT BACK TO PORKY. YES. he is done so dirty and not given the time of day and it’s just absolutely absurd!!! i truly think he’s one of the funniest characters the studio has to offer and he has way more personality outside of just stuttering or looking cute or reacting to characters funnier than him (to paraphrase Tiny Toons), and i really hope that this movie allows people to see him in a new light and get more curious about him. likewise with the Porky and Daffy dynamic, with it being a feature i’m hoping that it’ll be able to explore and hit some nuances that maybe the regular series doesn’t hit all the time (as i do think there is a more strong sense of formula to a bit of an inhibition in the LTC Porky and Daffys rather than what their classic counterparts offered) or don’t have the time/opportunity TO hit
and even if none of this Worldwide Porky Enlightenment that i’m fantasizing about happens i’ll still be happy. LTC’s Porky and Daffy dynamic isn’t perfect by any means and has a lot of vices it can get itself into, but regardless i am so fortunate and excited for this movie and seriously hope it sees the light of day; to appease crazed pig and duck fanatics such as myself, but to also showcase everyone’s hard work and talent. there’s a lot of incredible talent on this film and i truly hope they get the credit and satisfaction and fulfillment that they deserve to the fullest extent

We’ve talked in the past about Julia’s red shirt (in her season 1/season 4 outfit) showing her sympathy towards Carmen. What about other parts of her outfits?
First, to contrast with the red shirt peeking through her dark pantsuit, we have Julia’s ACME suit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID : two cropped screenshots from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego. The first one shows Julia Argent on the train in India, in her dark suit with red shirt outfit. The second one shows Julia in Rio de Janeiro, in her ACME suit. End ID]
The ACME suits, being uniforms, are all the same (the biggest difference being skirts for the women vs pants for the men), the same way the agents are asked for uniformity, conformity and following orders.
The suits have no color apart from a navy so dark it’s close to black - in fact, depending on the lighting they look almost black and white. Quite like their way of thinking.
Tumblr media
[ID : a screenshot from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego. Agent Zari and Random White Agent stand on either side of a door. They are in the shadows and their uniforms look dark and desaturated. End ID]
As I noted on a previous post, at the same time Julia receives her suit and as such lets go of her red shirt, she is asked to renounce her feelings that Carmen is innocent. Season 2, where she almost exclusively wears the ACME uniform, is the one where Julia briefly doubts Carmen and struggles to reconcile following her superior’s orders with her convictions. Ultimately, when she does not manage it, she resigns (season 3) and as such goes back to her red shirt outfit. It is in that outfit that she teams up with Carmen in a substantial way in season 4.
Other agents (and, notably, agent Zari, the most featured ACME agent apart from Julia and Chase) tend to wear black gloves. In line with their behavior, this suggests keeping a distance with their environment, refusing to feel things too deeply. Julia doesn’t wear gloves, however, not even in Stockholm where the weather would definitely justify it. Despite Chief's insistance, Julia keeps paying attention to her feelings.
Then, Julia’s glasses. Her glasses in seasons 2-3 are ACME regulation eyewear : once again, they’re part of the uniform, so the same model as the other ACME agents. Big, bulky, they’re almost rectangle in shape, all sharp angles : this suggests rigidity and an absence of flexibility in ACME’s mentality. Also note the dark lenses : they symbolically obscure the vision.
Tumblr media
[ID : a screenshot from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego. In Indonesia, Zari and Random White Agent stand against the sky. Their glasses' lenses are noticeably very dark. End ID]
And what about Julia’s original glasses, the ones she wears before joining ACME and those she returns to as she leaves ? They are the exact opposite of the ACME glasses : round and clear, what you need to look at the world as it is.

#carmen sandiego 2019#julia argent#if you think i'm reading too much into this. yeah. i'm me. reading too far into tiny details is what i do#(though tbh i keep going from 'this is reaching right?' to 'this is so obvious i'm breaking down an open door' so...)#and let me tell you i'm having the time of my life#you wouldn't imagine the glee i felt thinking about this#mentally i'm lying oin my bed giggling and kicking my feet as i type this#that post wasn't lying. the most fun a girl can have is analyzing making connections seeing patterns etc#anyway with all that (see: post) in mind if i had been in charge of the show i would a. have put julia in a uniform with pants#oh my god that skirt is the ugliest thing i've seen in my life.#also i want julia to be butcher#b. maybe more importantly i would have made julia wear her uniform sliiiightly wrong#like sometimes her tie isn't well fastened. or her vest is partially unbuttoned#or like that moment in rio where she says she still believes in carmen's innocence and her glasses are low and she has to recenter them#(they sort of have that with the gloves but she's not the only agent not to wear them so it doesn't really go all the way)#idk. like she tries to fit it tries to just put her head down and work tries to get into that mold acme wants her to be in#and she's. not terrible at it. she's used to being discrete and working well#with only a quick look you think she's perfectly in line with the other agents. a closer look however tells you otherwise#and shows you how she's not quite at ease with what's asked of her and it makes her miserable#which leads to her leaving acme later#do you see my vision
