Nothing quite as humbling as looking back at your old takes and realizing that you were completely wrong
#this happens for me when i'm emotionally invested in a character or show and won't let myself acknowledge that it's bad
#like i thought the wandavision finale was 'great'...i did so much meta-writing about loki before finally admitting it sucked...
#theory-wise i'm not typically incredibly off but when it comes to evaluating quality i do have a subjectivity issue
#like moon knight--i really loved that show and did not recognize most of the pacing or plot issues until the finale
#to be clear i still love the show because despite its imperfect story the character exploration and acting really held it together
#and i love that they took things in a new direction with how deep they were willing to go with exploring trauma
#but it was definitely not as good as i was feeling like it was...and it's ok to like things in spite of flaws
#i just have to be aware of them haha
#but also sometimes i'll absorb other people's critical takes even when they're off-base (e.g. worried about something that doesn't happen)
#like with the season finale to the mandalorian season 2--there was some strong criticism of it and i jumped on that train
#because i was worried that they were completely abandoning the story and relationships that they had put in place
#and canon has since confirmed they aren't (although i still haven't watched bobf) so those worries were at least largely unfounded
#but i am still concerned about how they intend to treat din's religion and what his arc will be bc it can still go badly
#however those concerns should not make me evaluate existing content unfairly
#all of this is why i am so absolutely resistant to seeing any criticism of kenobi
#because i am enjoying this show so thoroughly that i don't want anything to burst my bubble
#if it is truly not that great i'll recognize that soon enough once the joy of seeing my BOY on screen again wears off
#but i am being so positively affected by this show that i don't want anything to burst that bubble
#especially because as stated above a lot of criticism comes from people being worried that they'll do something that they aren't doing
#like making the show all about vader was a common preemptive criticism. it is clear that is not what's happening
#anyway that's an awful lot of thoughts but in short yeah my takes are not perfect and sometimes i am too forgiving
#but also i (and others) have been too harsh before and really all it does is kill the joy! i just wanna enjoy the things i love
#kay can i just catch my breath for a second
#kay has a party in the tags
