[@GeminibBorn]

Great video, first time watching the channel and I think you have some pretty good insights but I wanted to mention that I think you missed that Chacha has feelings for Hazel, thoughts?

[@QuinnCurio]

I wasn't sure if that's what they were going for or if I was just assuming Chacha liked him romantically because she's a woman and there is an element of jealousy involved. So I decided to not comment on it.

[@QuinnCurio]

Just like in general? I like it, and I like crying when the characters die. I'm not even sure how I would approach talking about the MCU on my channel, I wanna do Harry Potter stuff first.

I ended up crying and running to mom to fix it. I think it's like that too. Your emotions get the better of you and you become so desperate you just physically react to what you want/ need at that time. And either someone or something gets hurt in the process. What I'm saying is I also totally get what you're talking about, and Allison needed to back off when Vanya got too overly stimulated/ angry

I actually think Vietnam might be the reason Klaus doesn't realize there's actual gunshots in the theater. He has pretty big PTSD coupled with actually being sober enough to manifest Ben, so there's a huge chance he thinks the gunshots are just part of the PTSD or some sort of ghost manifestation, which is why until Luther tells him to get down he realizes "oh shit, this is actual gunfire" Why the guys in the theater didn't shoot him instantly, yeah that is plot armor straight up

[@trinaq]

I second this! I wish that they had shown Five and Vanya interacting more, but they don't really share scenes outside of the first two episodes. This may have been because having Five around may have thwarted Leonard's plans, and his goal was to isolate Vanya further from her family, while manipulating her all the while. Plus, Five was already preoccupied with stopping the apocalypse.

I like to think the reason Klaus didn’t immediately react to the gunfire and had to be told by Ben is because he thought he was hearing the guns in his head, because it’s a possibly common occurrence for him to think he’s hearing said gunfire. Or maybe being in the war numbed him to the sound.

[@samwallaceart288]

Kia Not The Car - I like the “he doesn’t know if it was in his head” idea, though it’d have to be a lot better set up. And war DOES NOT numb people to gunshots. Quite the opposite. Veterans are the most prone to anxiety attacks from a car backfire of any demographic.

[@Dazzlefae]

@@samwallaceart288 In a way, I agree. But how long had Klaus been back from War at this point? A couple days? And he still never really left the War Zone in a way. He got used to it in Vietnam, but he never got the chance to get used to being out of a War Zone really, so his reaction would make sense really, because in his mind me never left that War Zone. But it probably was more that he thought it was in his head because of PTSD and all that...

What I loved was the special relationship between Vanya and #5. He goes to her first when he needs a sounding board.

[@trinaq]

Ditto, I liked the understated relationship between Five and Vanya, despite them not interacting much after the first episode. When Five is fighting with Reginald about time travelling, Vanya is the only one to attempt to dissuade him from trying, subtle shaking her head. She also wrote some nice excerpts about him in her autobiography, and Five compliments her on it following his return. Lastly, when Vanya breaks out of the vault Luther imprisoned her in and embraces her White Violin persona, she has flashbacks to all the times her siblings mistreated her. Five notably isn't present during this sequence.

[@Dazzlefae]

To me it always felt like we were supposed to find it weird. It's a trauma thing. Growing up they didn't have access to the outside world or anyone outside the "family" and so they only had each other when they started getting those feelings. So naturally they came to focus them on each other. But it was said in S2 that they never even kissed. Idk, I just always got the feeling it was written that way for a reason, because they didn't have the experience and knowledge to know any different when they were younger, and when they were adults Allison had clearly come to kind of realise it was messed up because she'd lived in the real world (to a degree, can you really call it the real world when she used her power to get basically everything?) but Luther still felt that attachment to her because he'd still been isolated having never left home until he was sent to the moon. I think it was actually pretty well done...

[@beata3300]

@@Dazzlefae Oh! That's actually a really interesting way of looking at it, i've never thought of that!

[@Unhappytimeaper]

@@Dazzlefae yes I mean weird as it is the point of it I think is to understand the isolation I think the family felt. Growing up we know they never were really allowed actually connect with anyone outside of the academy, hence the many ways most of the characters are stunted emotionally with relationships both known in friendships and romantically. In the case of Allison and Luther I don’t think it was just a sense of romance but the idea of connection, being seen and heard. The understand they had with each other having powers and that connection of trauma from training/missions/their father- yes it showed itself in puppy love. Yet to me it feels just as how Viktor sees Leonard as a point of validation, Allison and Luther were that for each other. It wasn’t until Allison was able to break out and work on building other connections she stopped needing it from Luther.

[@dearmrfantasy3225]

@@Leiloke to expand a little more on that, i can't help but think that Diego's struggle in his relationships with other people extends from his inability of letting go of the feelings he experienced with them. you can see it with his mom - despite knowing that she was programmed to act in a certain manner, that she was affectionate with every one of them, he can't help but think that he is special; he can't let go of the feeling that Grace truly loves him, and he can't understand why his siblings don't feel the same way about her. this is something that is recurrent in his relationship with Patch, too. she doesn't like him, they broke up, he is annoying - but she loved him once, that has to mean something, right? if he can't stop loving her, she shouldn't be able to either. the fact that she died is actually detrimental for his development as a character, you see, he was able to let go of his mother once he truly understood the extent of her programming, but Patch is dead - she is never coming back, and that leaves Diego in place to just remember her; she isn't there to put him in place, she can't act or talk for herself, no one in Diego's social group knows her, so the only thing left of her is the twisted memory he has of the person she was before she grew up - because he never accepted the person she ended up being. he obsesses, he can't let go of his feelings, he doesn't understand why people don't feel the way he does.

[@ohdeer8920]

Jerek Headrick I would love if there was a plot twist in season 2 revealing she said it to Luther.

[@trinaq]

I've heard of an interpretation that Allison rumoured Luther into loving her as kids. Growing up in a house with an abusive parent, they all formed units or friendships: Diego and Grace, Klaus and Ben, Five and Vanya, and Luther and Allison. It's quite possible that Allison, seeing the close bond between her and Luther, mistook a deep admiration for something stronger, and after she cast her powers, forgot that she had ever rumoured Luther in the first place. I'd like to see Season 2 address this concept, and see how they resolve it.

[@lizzyol]

yeah like she said it to him a while ago and but he assumed she would never use her powers in that way. Then when he saw her use it in the same way on their daughter, he realised what she had done and that's why he was so mad.

[@vamp_bat_chomp]

Love is something you can fall in and out of, I could see her making her husband love her as she is, and then enough time passes, enough things about her change, he makes enough realizations, falls out of love, and would have to do charmed again to be in love with the modern her.

[@AngelMercury]

I was under the impression that Allison's power wasn't necessarily permanent. Vanya does eventually remember when she's triggered to. If someone is rumoured into loving her after not being in or falling out love, it's plausible to think that the fake love might wear off like a love potion who's effects only last until it's out of their system, or broken in the same way that all their fighting would remind them why they weren't in love in the first place. Her kid wasn't sleepy forever, just for that night. I don't know if they give it more depth in the books, but it could be something along the lines of the more plausible it is the less likely someone is able to break out of the spell or something to do with the person she manipulates.

One really subtle detail I love about Grace’s “death” is that she says the words “Diego, remember...” now this leads the audience to think she is going to say “Remember me” as one final act of humanity, but it could also easily be interpreted as her getting ready to repeat the phrase “Diego, remember what we learned. Picture the word in your head”. This ambiguity lets the audience decide if she’s experiencing remorse or sadness, or whether she is just broken and is repeating the same programmed responses.

to be fair, Luther went through just as much abuse... only his was different because he was simultaneously being manipulated by Hargreaves into being the perfect soldier/getting his siblings on board. his desperation to prove his father cared about him was the reason why he so desperately brought up the moon mission - because if it wasn’t, then why had he risked his life, given up a childhood, stayed emotionally stunted, stayed isolated from his siblings, etc. if there was no point?

[@trinaq]

@@lainareese5777 Seconded, Luther just wanted his father to love him, and paid the price for being Reggie's favourite child. He brings up the moon in a desperate attempt to prove that he wasn't sent up there for nothing, and to be fair, he doesn't bring it up as often as the fandom would have you believe. Luther is also so cut off from his siblings that he doesn't realize the extent of how damaging their childhoods were. For instance, he tells Klaus that he wishes that he was happier like him, even though everyone else can tell that Klaus was haunted by ghosts, and turned to drugs to cope with it, even though they don't take him seriously for the most part.

Like people who are too self conscious about their weight sometimes wince when they sit on a chair and it creaks, they feel too heavy and uncomfortable in their skin that they think it's loud and everyone can hear it like they can.

Vanya is my favorite character; as someone who struggles with an inferiority complex and chronic depression, I find her extremely relatable, well-written, and perfectly acted. You really get the sense, watching her, that she struggles to find the energy to even smile, that she has no faith in life or herself, and has resigned herself to a state of apathy, rather that fighting a futile battle with the world around her. At the same time there are hints of happiness, hints that she is trying to make the best of her situation and that she wants to feel better, even if she doesn't know how. She continues to play the violin, she writes a book, she even embraces a romantic relationship, when it would be so much easier just to give up and become a hermit. Depression isn't constant, it isn't just sitting in a dark room crying all the time - there are layers to it, ups and downs both from internal struggles and external influence, and Vanya, to me, perfectly encapsulates what depression looks like, and how it can turn volatile and destructive if left untreated.

I always got the vibe that along with all of the abuse and the emotional trauma of having dead people talk to you, klaus was jealous of ben.

I’ve always thought Ben killed himself, because as a child he always seemed to be the one who actively hated the powers he had, and really didn’t want them. He shows regret more that remourse over his death when he’s talking to klaus about it. Also the plaque on his statue says something like ‘the darkness inside him won’ which sounds like a poetic way to say he killed himself because he hated the powers he had.

In one scene Cha-cha plainly says that Diego's power is to control anything he throws, and he mostly throws knifes. Yet in every review I've seen for this, the reviewer forgets about that scene and is like "I have no idea what Diego's power is".

[@ryanhall7607]

The issue seems to be that there was a massive retool between the first episode and the rest of the series, including several of the children’s powers. For example, Allison’s powers seem to involve reality bending early in the show but all we ever see is mind-control. We never see Diego use his throwing powers in any notable way, so I think that was left out or changed.

[@trinaq]

Yes, Diego can control the angle of any object he throws, particularly knives, and he never misses a target. They cut out his ability to breath underwater from the comics, likely because it would be difficult to shoot underwater. 🔪

[@vamp_bat_chomp]

That's why I never understood why he came out of cover while throwing the knifes in the bowling alley, if he can bend their course he should be able to stay behind cover and still throw them.

[@mettatonex7221]

I just want to make a small correction, even though I'm sure you've already worked it out from watching season 2: Diego's power isn't inhuman accuracy; he can manipulate projectiles midair. His favorite application is by curving his knives after throwing them, but he can also, say, swerve bullets away from him and his friends. Like a toned down Magneto almost.

This is a late comment, but I actually like Diego and Patch’s relationship. As someone who grew up with emotionally abusive parents, you tend to cling onto the thought of someone, rather than their actual self. You warp reality to make yourself feel more loved, and I think that that’s what Diego and Patch’s relationship is. Deep down he longs to be loved, and the contrast to the person he said she is and who she actually is, is rather sad. I feel like their relationship *is* one-sided. Patch doesn’t love him, and that scene where he tells her about Grace is made that way for a reason. She doesn’t react like he hoped she would. But I don’t know, that’s just my take on it.

[@alyssaz4278]

I feel like that's why he was SO devastated at her death. Of course, he did love her, and so he mourns her, but at the same time, she will never love him back, which is even sadder. Maybe that's why he tries to stick to her ideals, almost as a last-ditch effort to prove his worth to her.

I love this thought. I grew up with an emotionally abusive mum, so my first relationship was me being emotionally abusive to my girlfriend. My mum always wanted me to be something I wasn't, she wouldn't let me be me, I was her second chance, and if I didn't like that she would get nasty. So I did the same to my girlfriend. I didn't respect her boundaries, I went out with her cause I thought she was a tomboy and I liked that about her, and that's all she was to me. The thought that Diego attached a predefined identity to Patch, and Patch grew out of that is really endearing. All the "you used to like that" sounds less like flirting and more like a child wanting their best friend to be the way they first became friends with them for, not valuing them as a person, and so appreciating who they grew up to be, rather liking one trait about them and when they no longer posses that trait, instead of moving on, you force it back on to them. I think he cried when she died not because he realised she would never love him back, but instead because he now no longer had anything to project that desirable trait on to. His father projected the vigilante trait into him, and he's so mad that that's what he became, that he thinks projecting an ideal onto someone is enough to get them become that. Again, I love this thought.

[@Baruch.Goldstein]

I think Ben coaching Klaus is clever because he didn't get to live the life that Klaus is wasting. Klaus can't communicate with the dead while drunk or high either so I think Ben wants Klaus to stop neglecting his power and start embracing it because it can be used like it is in season 2.

I was hoping that the "I heard a rumour you love me" was something she had done in a past relationship when she was slightly younger and more naive - like maybe her early twenties or something. It's terrifying to think she would base a marriage off of mind control 😐 But then again, Allison is only 30 and her child, Claire, is not that young, so she probably _did_ get married in her early twenties (this would have probably broken Luther's heart and would explain why he threw himself into such blind devotion to Reginald even when all his siblings had kong since left)

Speaking of none of the siblings understanding how to talk to Vanya, I'm reminded of some of the best character development in Season 2. Luther believes he is at least equally responsible, and probably more responsible for the Apocalypse than Vanya, despite the fact that Vanya was literally the one who did it. He gave up on her because he trusted his dad's judgement that Vanya's powers were too dangerous to allow her any freedom. And instead of treating her like a human he treated her like a mission, one where he had to be in charge and make all the calls to prove how special and awesome he is. He completely ignored Allison trying to reach out to Vanya, when if anyone, Allison should have wanted her dead or imprisoned the most. In Season 2 he understands all of this, and seems to actively despise himself for his actions.

Honestly grace’s scenes are all so heartbreaking. One that comes to mind is when Diego is sitting with her right before he puts her down.
