I love the fact that Theseus was created by Athens specifically to be their mascot and little hero to point to for bragging rights and to upstage Heracles.

Like, in context with Hades Theseus, this could explain so much and add a good amount to his character. Why is he such an arrogant asshole that acts like he's gonna win even though he fails against Zagreus so much? Why does he have a jealous fit when Asterius spends too much time with Zagreus?

Well, when you dedicate your life being your kingdom's golden boy and one of your sole purposes is to be a mascot, and your paradise is winning in front of a crowd over and over and over, that's bound to give you some sort of complex.

Theseus gets pretty defensive over his repetitive victory afterlife too, and whenever Zagreus mentions Heracles that one time, Theseus is all "Oh you think you can provoke my insecurities by mentioning him!" Which, to me, kinda confirms he is insecure about Heracles.

I'm just rotating him in my brain

Superman X / Kell - el needs more love

Where are the Kell-el lovers here??? I haven’t seen people talking about him since 2000′s devianart and he is such a good character???

Like, he is what happens if you mix Bruce stern personality, Superman abilities and Connor cloning crisis. He is literally a clone of Superman explicitly made to save the universe and nothing more and in the end he doesn’t have a future to go back?? and now has to decide his own life?? in a past he isn’t from and with zero social skills??????

I need him to travel through time and being a sarcastic bitch to the legue. 

I need him having to look after the sidekicks and ultimately causing mayhem with them and stopping the bad guy

I need him bonding with Demian.

“You are not that bad for being a Super” “Same to you little bat”

I need him to bond with Connor, because he is a clone too and he fights with his identity a lot, and threatening Clark that if he doesn’t treats the kid right he will kick his ass

“Remember I am the one inmune to kryptonite”

I need Kara to annoy the living day out of him and he just sighing and pinching his brow

I need him just reading the shit out of Lex with a blank expression the whole time.

I need him struggling with the whole “take decitions and make your own path” thing and the legion memebers helps him out. Like Tripicalia have icecream with him and divide to get three different flavours so he can taste them.

I need him and Brainy talking after/during a mission, he felling Brainy only tolerates him because he is a clone of Superman but Brainy tells him he cares about him and he sees him as his own person.  I need them talking about identity and destiny and deciding to help eachother to find thier paths.

I need him being utterly annoyed with Garth but will cut a bitch if someone dares to hurt him.

I need him bonding with Mekt and picking on Garth in a brotherly fashion.

I NEED MORE MATERIAL!!! I NEED MORE KELL-EL GODDAMMIT!!

i think it's really disappointing how interesting and complex of a character yul could be instead of being a one-dimensional bigoted racist archetype used as comedic relief.

it would've been so much better if he were a commentary on how the entertainment industry can shape people into genuine horrible people because of the toxic work culture and serve as a contrast to james, who left the industry (or atleast isn't as involved) and how it let him grow as a person, while yul has to stay because he has no choice for other sources of income and how his bitterness and resentment only continues to grow and harbor into the man he is now. imagine if a huge part of his resentment towards james was because of jealousy that he was able to escape the industry, instead of just mostly being because he poisoned him with mushrooms last season. what if that's why he was so angry that james tried to lecture him because james has no clue what it's like for him and that he has the nerve to question him when he feels james had the privilege of being able to escape. he's angry that someone who could relate to his struggles now is just like everyone else; an outsider of how bad the workforce he's in is and he's truly alone again with nobody to confide in because he hates the only other person who can relate, grett.

his relationship with grett is implied to be forced upon him and this could've been so interesting to explore. in the first few episodes it seems like he has genuine moments with her. what if a part of him actually loved her because he finally has someone who can relate, but because he was forced into this position he sees her as his captor who is the embodiment of how he will never have the ability to make his own choices. they got the right idea when he's talking to james on the bike, where he says "when i win the 3 million, i'll never have to listen to anyone", but it's ruined when it's just chalked up to him being like "i dont want a fat girlfriend cuz shes ugly and im not". it could've been a commentary on how k-pop stars are often objectified by their fanbase and their employers and how little control they have in their lives, especially being recruited at a young age (WHICH IS LITERALLY STATED IN THE SHOW!!! WHEN HE SAID A VIDEO OF HIM DANCING BLEW UP!!) and the mental toll it has. he's so cruel to her because of his frustration with his situation and a want for her to leave, both using her as a punching bag for his lack of control while simultaneously trying to make her leave him as a way to regain the little control he has over himself.

the biggest flaw of yul's characterization is how his bigotry is NEVER called out. yes, the point is that he's SUPPOSED to be unlikable, but nobody ever says he's being racist and why it's wrong (besides gabby when she defends grett), they say it's to make us hate him more but if THESE THINGS AREN'T CALLED OUT, especially to their young fanbase of young teens, it comes across as just out-of-pocket "dark" humor that relies of shock value to make the audience laugh, which insinuates that it's okay. he's literally just saying bigoted shit for the sake of it. you can write an unlikable character without making him drop obscenities every moment he's on screen. it's bad writing and an easy opt out that takes little effort to write and has become normalized in the show, esp. considering how the spanish va of yul improvised a racist line (calling james a monkey) and how they just let it slide because "oh well it's in character". if your voice actor is randomly saying racist stuff that's not even in the script and you allow it to slide, your team has a serious problem.

there's so many characters that are intertwined with the entertainment industry (riya, james, grett, yul) and so many of the ideas are THERE but they aren't dived into and these characters end up being one-note as a result, like yul and riya. the best we can do is infer but that can only go so far. maybe i'm asking too much for a total drama inspired series to have complex writing and nuance, but if you want to differentiate and distance yourself from total drama (esp. when it prides it's writing as being more complex than total drama) maybe actually put some effort into making complex characters and not using them as a puppet to make bigoted remarks.

All finished! One of my fav protags ever. I love FF8 and I feel like it needs way more love. Did y'all play FF8? Did you like it? Did you skip it because it wasn't as popular? Inquiring minds want to know (mine).
