Quick Update
Hey everyone!
I will be back to writing by the end of November/early December and I will be going to Germany for a family vacation but I will be writing some requests. I'm still trying to catch up on some shows so please be patient with me. I am watching Better Call Saul. I'm almost done with Fate: The Winx Saga so I'll add them to my list. If you all have any other shows or movies you want me to write for let me know.
As I stated in a different post I have added Kung Fu, Stargirl, First Kill, and others to the shows I will write for. I will update my list by Friday.

Althea & Zhilan || Alias
[Image Description: Five stacked gifs from Kung Fu.
Nicky: Zhilan, tell Althea you’re fine. Zhilan: Oh, I’m fine. Got past the guards, made it to the checkpoint. Even managed not to kill anyone, as you requested. Althea laughs quietly. Zhilan, smiling: At least, I’m pretty sure. Nicky shakes her head. Zhilan, concerned: There was that one guard that -- Althea: Zhilan. Thank you. Zhilan nods.]

I'm only an episode away from finishing season 1 of Kung Fu (don't get the title tbh), but I really have to vent about it, even though I'm very sleepy and should be going to bed... Soooo, a few things:
The show is obviously very cheesy sometimes. What bothers me the most is that it tries to tackle real life issues such as sinophobia, BLM, sexual abuse, etc. but offers fairytale-like solutions that don't do those issues justice and even undermine them to some extent. For example, Nicky prevented Joe from getting arrested at a BLM protest by standing up to the cops, prompting everyone else to do the same. So, you're telling me the police just backed off because a bunch of black and Asian-American protesters stood up to them? How about when she saved a girl and her mother from an abuser by, again, standing up to the guy (and kicking ass)? The show even made mention of programs to help women like them. Counting on the American government to help anyone is pretty risky, especially the most vulnerable. The show is obviously not pro-police, but it also isn't as anti-police/authority/capitalism as it should be. If the goal is to educate people and bring attention to such huge issues in society, you can't offer up bullshit, Disney-like solutions - that's just misleading your audience. The writing is completely on the nose and cliché when it comes to this.
Actually, the writing is pretty inelegant overall and lacks direction. The writers want to avoid falling into certain clichés and attempt to put a twist on some tropes, but the delivery is so predictable. For example, the "love triangle", it was obvious from the beginning that they were going to work that in, but it was equally obvious how it was going to unfold. Love triangles are so overdone and the writers seemingly wanted to stay clear of that kind of drama, so why make it a thing to begin with? If you don't want a love triangle and aren't willing to explore both relationships, just don't add the character of the ex - it was so unnecessary and unsatisfying. I prefer Evan so that annoyed me, but I don't care about Nicky and Henry for a lot of reasons. They're cute, but they were pretty much a couple from day 1. Their story unfolded in a rather predictable manner and the power couple angle imo only works if you actually care about the couple. Was I supposed to care about how badass they were only two episodes into the show, when I didn't care about any of the characters yet?
What the show does best imo, and quite well at that, is the lore and mythology of it all. It's fun when Nicky goes on an adventures and any time Zhilan shows up.
Zhilan, to me, is the most nuanced and interesting character on the show alongside Mei-Li (they're also the best actresses imo, especially the actress who plays Nicky's mom). I like it when the show explores these characters and their strengths, vulnerabilities, and how their fears and desires drive their actions and lead them to make the wrong choices. I could say a lot about Zhilan. I think she's the most fleshed-out character. It's very easy to understand where she comes from and to relate to her... That leads me to the reason I had to write this post:
Zhilan and Kerwin... Stop killing my ships! I knew from the moment Kerwin killed someone for Zhilan that he was either going to be killed/die in front of her - forcing her to grow even more cruel and determined to reach her goals - or she was going to choose power over him and let him die or kill him herself. This was so obviously going to happen that it was even more upsetting and disappointing when it did. The writers hit gold with those two. They had great chemistry, they were similar, they were fun. They were an actual power couple that was fun and exciting to watch because it felt earned. We saw them falling for each other and overcoming their fears to be together - in Zhilan's case it was trusting someone, and in Kerwin's it was loving someone more than he feared his family. I absolutely understand that Zhilan loved Kerwin but was scared for herself - she was scared of losing sight of her goals, scared to fully trust Kerwin, scared of the changes she saw in herself. All she had was herself and the thought of losing that was terrifying. Loving someone changes you and she was scared of becoming someone she didn't fully control or understand. She was scared of trusting someone completely too, especially a Tan, but I think the fact that Kerwin was a Tan didn't even matter as much as it was a reminder of everything she'd lost. From her perspective, she lived alone for decades so she wasn't scared of being without him - it was actually the opposite. So yeah, I get why she killed him, but wouldn't it have been better if she hadn't? What if she trusted him instead? What if they were a power couple? Loving someone wouldn't have made her any less evil. It's boring that Nicky is good so she trusted Henry but Zhilan is bad so she couldn't trust Kerwin. She still could've..? That would've been funner and opened up many exciting avenues for her character. How do you write a villain with trust issues who's in love and wants to have it all - revenge and romance - but the guy is kind of the enemy? He wants all of her and is willing to accept he can't have it, but can she change and do better? Can she change and grow while remaining the villain and not being redeemed? We could've had it all: a good villain with a compelling backstory and an exciting romance!!
TL;DR: I loved that couple a lot and their scenes were the ones I actually 100% paid attention to. Now that Kerwin is gone, I guess I don't have to worry about being invested in the show. I can go back to only half-watching it. I had my romance and now it's over. I like Zhilian less too. I know a strong, evil woman like herself can't have a boyfriend so they're going to pretend like she was never in love.
Also, I don't know if this will happen, but from the beginning I also had the feeling Evan wasn't going to last long. When Nicky figured out who she wanted, he would be kicked to the curb and leave the show. Still feel like that might happen...
Anyway, the show is good and has (had) a lot of potential, but some of the writers' ideas need a better execution or follow-up
