It's really amazing how much they've managed to victimize Ryan: - Her original parents died somehow - She was homeless as a child - She was kidnapped as a child - She was adopted and her adoptive mother was murdered by Alice's gang - She's went to prison for a crime she didn't commit - She's still homeless as an adult, living out of her van. - Nobody wants to hire her because she's an ex-con. - She was mugged and Ruby Rose had to save her. - She's black and apparently been target of racism. - She's a lesbian (I don't know if they've specifically said she's been discriminated against for that, but it's Batwoman so we know she has been) She's basically the ultimate victim.

[@mistydolphin2524]

Obviously the writers have never heard of learned helplessness. Basicly if you teach a rat ito be helpless and put it in a tank of water, it'll give up and drown. I can't help but think sending black people this kind of message will have the same effect. Remind me, who are the real racists here?

[@TheSouloftheDragon]

Of course Ryan didn't report Crazy Candy Lady to the police when she escaped, letting her kidnap more children for decades. This is the same woman that 'ran in the same circles' with a serial killer hitman. Ryan's morality is all kinds of borked.

I'm sure she was framed for not reporting her.

[@blaineprentice3128]

[@MamaMOB]

Well she is a Batwahman they’re not allowed to report criminals to the police for some reason. I mean that does explain why Alice is still running around.

[@1977dajmo]

Not only did she never report the crazy woman kidnapping and trafficking children, her girlfriend didn't do it, either, even though she seemed to arrive without having been drugged and could presumably have told the cops exactly where the house was. Maybe the cops wouldn't have listened to a black girl (naturally), but Angelique is white, so she'd have mattered. The plot holes in this episode...just wow.

[@yamadiyoo9658]

This is basically the episode where Kate id an unsolved case because she had the in-house knowledge, just this one is about a 50-60 yrs old, lady still able to kidnap kids. I bet they are at one point going to have Ryan pull the "I ain't no snitch" card which means you inable crime and shouldn't be in the batsuit for that matter.

So kind of like that Powerpuff Girls episode where the female villain convinces the girls to let her go because women need to stand up for women, but without the part at the end where the adult women they look up to (and several victims of the the villain's crimes) all point out that her being a fellow woman doesn't make her actions any less criminal, and that she was a con artist who was perfectly fine with victimizing women, only seeming to care about "women standing up for women" when she was faced with the consequences of her actions.

[@Thebigbad1013]

The thing about Ryan hiding the infection is a clear sign of poor writing (one of many by the sound of it) because they are literally setting it up to likely be a major issue down the road, yet all she has to do to solve the problem right now is tell her friend about it. Miracle blood, problem solved. Just awful writing on this show.

[@angrytheclown801]

And now we know why she's being kept as her own "hero", because any competent team or actual real hero would toss her away for being a liability and harvest the suit from her. A chick suffering from radiation poisoning? If she has a fit that could cost quite a few lives. Removing her and making her stay in a hospital or get healing blood is the best way to save people.

[@Adamguy2003]

I was actually just thinking of something along those lines, as a "Bad character/ Good character" contrast. See, I'm currently reading the most recent novel in the 'Mercy Thompson' book series, the title character of which is imo the textbook definition of the RIGHT way to make a strong female protagonist. At the point I'm at in the book, Mercy has recently been bitten by some kind of evil creature that can cause those it bites to out of nowhere go nuts and become homicidal and/ or suicidal. Unlike Ryan in this dungheap of a show hiding her kryptonite poisoning from everyone for some reason, Mercy immediately tells her husband and some trusted friends about what happened so they can help her get through it. Like I said, a perfect "Bad character vs. Good character" contrast.

[@Ramsey276one]

Miracle Blood THE FACT IT IS ACTUALLY A THUNG IN THIS STORY!! Good grief!! XD

[@Tomgd420]

If they established shes half competent they can say later she'd always knew there was a cost to the healing. Though if you're dealing with someone who may be able to cure it without then it falls apart. Waiting she forces the choice regardless of abilty.

[@samgreenblatt7074]

That kind of thing can only be done if it would make sense for the character. In Breaking Bad(MINOR SPOILERS), there's a situation where Walt can easily just stop cooking meth and go back to work with his old friend Elliot so he can pay for his cancer treatment, but he turns it down because (1) he resents Elliot for getting rich off his research after he sold off his own share of the company, and (2) he enjoys cooking meth too much, because using his chemistry skills in such a risky way gives him a thrill like no other. He turns down an easy solution because of his own underlying greed and ego. What I'm getting at is, it makes sense for him to do it. Here, Ryan just decides not to tell anyone about her terminal illness for no reason whatsoever. She basically has no character except for "sassy black woman", so the writers have no way to explain her keeping this secret without just having her be dumb. The only way they could possibly rationalize that now is her being suicidal, and that would be really fucking stupid for its own host of reasons(total lack of setup, far easier ways to die, etc.).

[@tonycleek4981]

When they were showing that youth group going around looking for Beth Kane, I couldn’t help and wonder why would they be doing that when they thought she was dead when they found bones at the accident site.They can’t even stay consistent with the story that they’re telling from season one.

[@tonycleek4981]

@@patrickmcguire7896 You could almost make a drinking game every time they retcon a previous established history. You could tell these writers didn’t care about making a good or logically story. Characters just know things or appear at places where they need to be. The writers couldn’t even be consistent about no one caring about the black boy since missing posters were made. The little brother couldn’t have made them. Batwoman doesn’t even check what the police knew about the abduction.

[@Dagenspear]

Maybe that was before? I'm not sure about the timeline of events. My thing was more that Beth's loss was involved in a bus thing with Batman and Joker, something I assume would be public and get more press, than the kidnapping of an orphan girl. This doesn't mean that people don't not look for people based on race or whatever, maybe they do (I think these are things I've only seen TV talk about), but in this particularly situation, can it really be said for certain it was because of race, and not publicity?

[@Outcastgrunt098]

O no the show has dameged my brain so much i never realised the inconsistancy.

[@tonycleek4981]

@@Dagenspear That is the real problem with the show is the inconsistency of the timeline. I don’t have a problem if Beth was presumed missing for a time but in the first season, they made it sound like Jacob moved on pretty quick. Another thing that was never addressed when in the timeline did Jacob meet Mary’s mom? Since she was the one that got the fake bones, does that mean Jacob was cheating on his wife? These writers just want to play the black woman victim card as much as they can milk it. We don’t know how many children are missing, what is the status of the investigation, what leads that were given to the police, maybe nobody is talking to the police. There are so many reasons why this boy’s case would be at stand still but the writers just wanted race to be the reason so they don’t even tried.

This episode could've been good (or at least passable) if they cut the whole Alice subplot and made the focus on the foster care system instead of race. Cause yeah I pretty sure the reason no one was looking for Rian is because her damn foster parents never reported her missing

[@budgiecat9039]

She didnt have foster parents (yet) when it happened. She was in a foster home with the rest of those girls as they showed earlier. But yeah the foster home shoulda reported her missing unless they just didnt care and assumed she ran away. But as Thorias pointed out, the real wtf is why the hell didnt Ryan and her foster home friend report the lady to the police since they both left her house conscious. That makes them complicit to all the years kids were being abducted there after them. But yeah the writers trying to imply all the comic book writers within that universe as well as all law enforcement (this includes Commissioner Gordon), Batman, Robin, Lucius Fox, Alfrred Pennyworth, and whoever else that was fighting crime in Gothan "didnt care about Black people" effectively making them all racists, even if some of those people working law enforcment or fighitng crime were Black themselves. lmao thats fucking terrible writing.

[@sarasunshinemt4444]

Like the Hollywood machine would make the mistake of putting the focus on a REAL problem vs one that they fabricate. The foster system is littered with major problems and issues (the sheer number of kids that they "lose track of" is MIND BOGGLING) and has even been under federal investigation for child sex trafficking.

Exactly! The format is simple. You start with a crime shrouded in mystery. Then show a light-hearted opening for the hero, that suddenly gets interrupted. Then solving the mystery begins as the villain continues to take steps towards his or her big plan, the hero gains on them. And then one final surprise before they wrap it up nicely or leave a cliffhanger for a nice 2 parter. Throw in some action and danger balanced with levity and thats it.

[@tonycleek4981]

It would made more sense for Ryan or Batwoman take the little brother home and have a parent to say that their son was taking on the way home from school. Then Ryan and Mary could have driven by comic book shop to trigger the flashback. Now, I don’t how to make it where Ryan would make the connection to her past and the boy being taken. It is just a big plot hole.

[@thoriasunlimited4053]

The writers apparently got "no one is looking for him" and "no one has found him yet" a little mixed up.

[@tonycleek4981]

@@thoriasunlimited4053 I am not sure if the writers got the wording mixed up or not just because how Batwoman told Jacob at the end that she look for him. If she had no one has found him yet, it would imply that someone does care and that the investigation had stalled due to lack of leads. For example, you had lost your keys in their house and you are sitting on the couch watching tv, I come in the room and say “you aren’t even looking for the keys”. But if you were actively looking for your keys, then I would say, “I guess you haven’t found your keys yet”. “No one is looking for him” fits the racist narrative that the system doesn’t care for another black boy.

[@m626m]

Aside from being held in the attic for months, the writers could have mentioned other tortures the lady did to Ryan. Ryan had her comics to read, a bed w/ fresh sheets, jelly beans, room service, newspaper delivered, chair, and cobwebs. Were these any different from the accommodations at the foster home? I guess Alice is bi?? She felt something down there remembering Ocean. Will the show go to a place they are not use to and have male/female sex? Young Ryan could have "improved the flavor" of the jelly beans the lady took every day. By the time she finished the jar, her teeth would be brown.

[@budgiecat9039]

She was 13. Seriously she coulda escaped out of that house on her own. That chubby old lady wasnt shit. She coulda broke the window and just escaped from the roof. It wasnt even that far down and it was slanted too.

Weirdly enough, Ryan's accommodations seemed to be quite a bit better than Beth's were. She was still being held against her will, but at least she didn't appear to be physically abused. Strange, given the black victimization thing, that Ryan was treated better by her captor than the white girl was.

Seriously, they are desperately trying to convince us that Kate is still alive, but this show has lied about other things, so I wouldn't take it at its word. 8:24-8:46 Yes, because POCs *never* willingly join gangs, it's always white people's fault.

A child's life is more important than Ryan's hurt feelings, once again feelings take precedence. Pitiful. 15:55-16:30 More proof that the show is all about Kate, Ryan is just a stand-in.

Meanwhile, dozens of more children disappear over the next fifteen years because they did nothing to stop her. Once again, good people do nothing, and evil triumphs. 22:14-22:35 Exactly, pointing out a woman's incompetence or even inaction on an important issue is sexist. 23:04-23:28 Yes, because women can never lie, and are not to be questioned on anything. Agenda overrides common sense. 31:56-32:15 I feel you, I really do.
