#i feel so bad cause of course free guy also deserves a 3k words essay on everything that's wrong with it and i hate that i chose to pick on

I've literally only seen 1 episode of the chair so far, but already there is way too much focus on the guy for my liking😓 Sandra is incredible of course👏

yeah it's that x6

#listen it's got a lot of redeemable qualities and that makes me even more mad cause clearly and as expected the potential was there #but the writers just wormed him into every single aspect of the show i liked and made it almost impossible to try to #you know - judge even the positive aspects without him being in the way #like ju ju was an absolute standout for me but it feels like most of what shes been written in for is validate him #we barely get a sense of who ji-yoon is as the chair or a teacher cause she just played pr crisis manager for him since the very start #i loved joan and some of the conversations she introduced but really her own plotline was basically its own curve that barely intersected #the main plotline #dont even let me started about the hypocrisy of putting vague statements in the mouths of the borderline caricatural students #about performative intersectional feminism while being so blatantly guilty of it yourself (literally put a back woman in the promo #and then she's in it for maybe 10 scenes total) #dont get me started about episode 5 and the amount of screentime wasted there #also like how is this show a comedy #most of the humour is slapstick or the kid being a kid no merits to the writing there at all #im gonna rewatch it now that i know what to expect so i can properly appreciate the parts worth appreciating #but yeah please take woc characters away from yt women writers #the chair spoilers #i suppose that was not all i was gonna say then sorry #i feel so bad cause of course free guy also deserves a 3k words essay on everything that's wrong with it and i hate that i chose to pick on #this instead but i just hate when something is marketed as a brilliant innovative piece of media and then turns out to be this #a whole other essay could be written about how the whole nazi salute controversy plot read like a mockery of online activism
