#im not rooting for anything but for them to STOP bc its so bland

[zannolin]

i think the most frustrating thing for me abt johnny and carmen going where it went is there was absolutely no development there. we got about two scenes of them having any kind of conversation that's not "stay the fuck away from my kid you weirdo" and then suddenly there's a whitesnake dream sequence? i was so excited to see where their friendship could go and it honestly felt more like carmen was treating johnny like another kid what with the "mom doesn't want you eating slim jims for breakfast anymore" and stuff. we didn't get ANY foundation for it being romantic despite he was a boy she was a girl can i make it any more obvious etc etc. i might not dislike it sooo much if there was ANYTHING there, or even an angle where it feels like an obligatory thing to do for carmen because her son's got a father figure in his life, or for johnny because he doesn't know what else to do with women in his life, but no. no. whitesnake dream sequence is supposed to make it all make sense i guess.

#karate kid verse #IM NOT OVER THIS i think about it every day. what they stole from me. #and its just like. theres nothing AFTER either #you get the brief on the outs of miguel being in the hospital and then theyre back together i guess and it jsut feels so bland and shallow #im not rooting for anything but for them to STOP bc its so bland #i feel no emotional investment #i cringe every time theyre onscren together when i used to be excited to see a new developing dynamic #it hurts me!!!
