SabMako is “the smart one” in this, I guess? So they’ve taken all the most basic standard group character types, shuffled them together, and randomly dealt them to the Saban versions. SabMako’s got “the smart one”, SabRei’s got “the tomboy one”, SabAmi’s got ... uhhh ... And SabMinako’s got 

“the sexy bitchy one”.

#jet wolf watches saban moon #all joking aside #i'm curious how they settled on this #if they were going off any source material at all or just building it their way from the groujnd up #if the latter then there's really not much to talk about #if the former though i'm intensely curious that thought process #rei as a tomboyish one i could talk my way to #I'M STILL HAVE AN ANEURISM AT HER WEARING A FUCKING TANK TOP TO AN EVENT #but rei's overtly aggressive #even if you're watching random unsubbed episodes and don't speak a word of japanese you'd pick that up #and going from aggressive to tomboy particularly in american culture is easy easy easy #but i'm wracking my brain trying to think where you'd ever interpret 'the smart one' for mako #particularly when ami's RIGHT FUCKING THERE #making me wonder if it was a conscious choice? #trying to defy some stereotypes like 'the smart one' also being 'the one in the wheelchair' #but then why not make the disabled character someone else? #sabnako a wheelchair user and still absolutely sure she's the hottest ticket in town? #SIGN ME UP FOR THAT SHIT #anyway i love you deeply and intensely mako and you are all that is good in the world #but you are very much not the smart one
