you know

if the writers weren't such cowards

they could make immortality not be part of Klaus' powerset

god hates him, she throws him out every time, and it would punch so much more feelings

they all would loose their powers, but Klaus is still immortal because it has nothing to do with his powers

so much angst possible in that

but nooooo, they're just lazy, and not ready to explore their own lore

okay, rant done. kay bye <3

debating how much i want to Acknowledge It at all, but for now, in brief, i wish season 3 a very swallowed-whole-by-stranger-things, and the show the speedy cancellation it's been long overdue for.

... i don't generally like to gloat, but i'll make an exception: told you.

#tuatv #somehow s3 was worse than even my lowest expectations. like an even worse fanfic come to life. #i think it comes down to ‘s2 was bad but the show could’ve been saved if s3 brought it.’ and… yeah. it’s over. no redeeming it now #just put it out of its misery instead so we can start the clock on a reboot by competent storytellers

[angstics]

i need a full break down of why tuatv is bad a la “sherlock is garbage”

[raytorosaurus]

we only need to hang on a little longer and then tuatv will be dead and the comics will rise like a phoenix from its ashes...............we will overcome netflixification we will return to being unapologetically and earnestly bizarre and unsettling and. most importantly. unpalatable to the masses

#sorry tua returning might turn me into the worst version of myself. a pretentious contrarian who picks the absolute worst things to be #pretentious about

First of all, I want to say your meta was very enlightening, so thank you. I do have one thing to say as to why Five stood on the sigil - I think that before that moment, Reginald mentioned that they would need to find the sigil in order to defeat the guardians, who were fighting to kill the siblings. Five knew that if he didn’t complete it by standing on it, the remaining guardian would’ve killed them all. I think, at that point, five was just trying to survive with his siblings.

As for why he stood on it before allison…? No idea. I’ve seen some people say that it’s because he wanted to protect her or something, which really could’ve been true, because she’s still his sister. And this is probably and unpopular opinion, but that explanation doesn’t really ring true for me, because Alison and Five spent a better part of the season sniping at each other, so are we suddenly supposed to believe that five would put himself in that position so allison wouldn’t have to? When there’s been no build up in their relationship prior to that scene? If five is supposed to be protecting her in that scene, it falls flat to me

TUATV if it explored Five and Allison's relationship

Okay, but bad jokes aside (by this point the show wishes it was the comics, even tho those are a mess in a completely different way to the show). I think a resounding failure of the show, for the last two seasons but especially in Season 3 is that it completely leaves Five and Allison, as a dynamic, by the wayside. Season 2 literally had them not exchange a word. Season 3 had them snipe at each other (hello, comic versions of these characters, nice to see you've come along, 20 episodes in) and then made that odd choice to have a three-point-climax between Allison, Viktor and Five which. Allison and Viktor? Long-running dynamic in the show. Five and Viktor? Always have a poignant moment every season. Allison and Five? *cricket sounds*

I read that moment as Five protecting Allison because I have been rather vocal about the fact that I would love for them to interact in the show because their dynamic is the one most explored in the comics, they are in each other's presence for both Dallas and Hotel Oblivion, and I love them in the comics, so I found it very frustrating that the show, despite taking its clues from Dallas and Hotel Oblivion (and using them very, very badly), never seemed interested in exploring Five and Allison despite them talking to each other makes sense. Allison gets transported in time and dropped somewhere that is hostile to her existence, and she thinks her entire family is dead? Why didn't she get to give Five a piece of her mind about that? And even if she somehow was okay with that - it was an accident on his part, I guess - was Season 2 really not interested in having her talk to someone else who lived years thinking he lost his family? Someone who explicitly said to her that he cared for his niece and would love to meet her one day? You're telling me the guy who said that to her has no feelings whatsoever about the fact that his meddling with the timeline erased Claire from existence? I've talked about it in the meta, but what explains a bunch of the choices they made about Five's storyline in S3 is that they just did not want him and Allison to be on the same page, they wanted her to be as isolated as possible. It is interesting to me that Five and Allison, prior to S3, had two meaningful interactions, 1) Five telling her he would like to live long enough to meet Claire, and 2) making fun of Diego together. And S3 tossed one of those interactions summarily out the window and acted like it never happened, made Five have no reaction to the fact that Allison was mourning the loss of Claire.

Apart from that, they spent the entirety of S3 at each other's throats. Which. If S3 did nothing for that dynamic, the thing it did manage to hammer home in a not so subtle way is that Five and Allison are similar, and it makes sense that people who are similar but have been crowbarred by the plot into having opposite motivations would be bitching at each other the entire time.

So I totally get why that moment of Five and Allison at a crossroads would fall flat to you, it fell flat to me and I wanted it to mean something. I feel like what they were trying to tell us is that Five loves Allison despite the deal she'd done with Reginald, that he still loves her and wants to protect her. Would have been nice to have any foundation for that kind of action, show, just some sprinkling of friendship and understanding between the two somewhere along the line, maybe? Because if it really was just a 'Five loves her despite everything she's done uwu'-plotpoint, it's just condescending and does not really have any real impact as a moment.

What really gets to me is that the cinematography really ramps up in that little stand-off, it really tries to build tension, and it falls flat to me in the same way the little roadside stand-off between Viktor and Five in S2 falls flat, which is that the stakes are unclear and the relationship not nearly developed enough for the scene to have the impact that the writers clearly want it to have. We don't know enough about what either Five or Allison think of each other for that scene to have a lot of meaning. There is no sibling duo in this show that has had less interaction and development than Allison and Five and you're hinging one of the big decision moments in this season finale on their interpersonal relationship? Why? I think that scene could have had so much weight and so much impact had this fucking show taken any of its time in the previous *checks notes* 29 episodes to build a personal relationship between Five and Allison, but as such, it's a weak climactic moment that honestly left me more confused than anything else on my first watch.

This got long because I love the Five and Allison dynamic that this show continually refuses to give me, but even though I want that moment between them to mean something, I really can't fault anybody for not seeing it, the show has not put in the legwork to make it function and have an emotional impact.

#guys i swear the version of this show in my mind where five and allison do get to interact is fucking awesome #and like. the comic versions are also bitchy and they pointedly do not like each other #but they have a well-developed and well-established relationship and play off each other #a courtesy never extended to their show counterparts #Replies #Anonymous #i'm sorry being mad about how the show treats the 3&5 dynamic always gets me going in a bad way

hot take: the key to understanding what the hell happened to allison is that they writers were trying to give us what we should've gotten with allison in earlier seasons, that they were too cowardly to do at the time.

s1 allison should've been bitter, irrational, out of control and compulsively rumoring people to deal with the loss of custody of her daughter. we should've seen allison use her rumor to force herself onto someone, but that someone should've been patrick, in a flashback showing how they got together. and we should be seeing allison eat herself alive with guilt over it, not coolly breezing past it. juxtapose allison's denial over what she did to patrick with what she did to vanya. furthermore, she should've lost faith in vanya after the throat-slitting, shouldn't have advocated for her in the basement, and should've been trying to kill her with the guys in the climax. the gun was five's to point at the white violin.

s2 allison should've been hyperfocused on escaping the past and returning to claire. no centrist civil rights plot, no plotfiller fanservice marriage to raymond, no conveniently having her rumor back. she should have spent the season learning to live without her powers and the fear she lived in during the 1960s should've been shown to us when she was actually in the 1960s. she should've been cold to vanya for disabling her and killing her daughter. and like in the comics, allison should've made a deal with the devil [the commission, not reginald] to do something that makes the family take sides against her [orchestrating the jfk assassination] to secure the repair of her vocal cords/return of her power, save five and luther from obliteration, and gain her and her family's return to the present... only to realize the commission screwed her and sent her to a future where claire doesn't exist.

which would have opened the door to s3 allison grieving her daughter's loss, getting a romantic culmination with luther after two seasons of buildup, and reopening her relationship with vanya/viktor since now it's just as much allison's own fault for losing claire, she has her powers back, and she's also done some heinous shit driven by grief and desperation, she'd be open to showing vanya/viktor compassion they'd need given that 7's plotline ought to have been evaluating whether to ditch the umbrellas for the sparrows, a la the comics; since the family is capable of forgiving allison for her commission betrayal, they can do the same for the white violin ending the world.

and... great that those clowns finally realized how poorly they treated her character, but it's too late. the only way to do those things they should've done was at the cost of assassinating and regressing her character.

New theory: the season 2 plot was actually only written after we all started speculating. they wrote down everything we said. all promos up to that point are gibberish

What are your thoughts on the siblings' numbers? I like the "Least powerful to most powerful" one, but a lot of people think that it's about who came first

Sadly, both theories are false! It’s impossible they’re numbered in order of arrival because five and Luther are canonically twins, so they must have arrived at the same time. I highly doubt that it’s least powerful to most powerful because:

 That means that Allison is the third least powerful of the siblings, which is complete bullshit. Her powers literally bend reality, and you’re trying to tell me that’s less powerful than Klaus, Five, or Ben’s powers??

Two. In the comics there’s no reason to believe that Regginald knew of Vanya’s powers, and I doubt he’d have let her be as rebellious as she is.

Three. Look I know half the fandom hates Luther but there’s no way that he’s less powerful than Comics!Diego, who’s powers is to hold his breath. Literally.

And finally! Regginald doesn’t know of his powers when they arrive? In the show they’re already numbered as babies, so it simply doesn’t make sense.

In my opinion, they’re random numbers that hold no meaning whatsoever. As everything Regginald does, he puts those numbers onto them without reason and real meaning, since they’re like that since they`re born. He sees them as lab rats that don’t deserve any more thought than necessary.
