I don’t know how much of a hot take this is but, I think that people who wants to become future indie creators. Especially when it comes to creating media aimed at an older and adult audience.

They should try and broaden out their media palette instead of rewatching shows like Steven universe, the owl house, and other media aimed at children/general audience.

Not saying that these shows are bad or don’t have any complex themes. As I love these shows to death and literary grew up with them. But there’s only so much that children media can cover and explore compare to media aimed at older audiences/adults.

If you want to create media aimed at an older or even adult audience, expand your media palette so you can get inspirations and examples of how different media handles their stories.

Or hell even if you aren’t a creative and just want more interesting and complex stories. Start watching media aimed at your age range.

Shows like Steven universe and the owl house are great introduction to more progressive themes and nuance storytelling. But it shouldn’t be your only frame of reference.

I think Jack Walten is a great example of a husband who really loves and cares about his family. Though let the stoic mentality get to him, where he doesn’t allow himself to properly grieve, which effects how he treats his family.

The scene where he calls Rosemary weak is an huge example of it. As while it’s a very shitty thing to say. I doubt he has any malicious intentions in saying that.

As I believe he’s trying to say that due to rosemary going through a huge mental break down. He and Sophie needs to be there for her in her time of need.

But said it in a poor way due to being a husband from the 1970s where things like therapy and mental health is properly being recognized and treated.

In this episode, Jack greatest flaw is him being in constant state of denial and trying to move too quickly from the death of Ed and Molly. Not giving the proper attention towards the entire family mental health, which is one of the causes to their downfalls. Rosemary due to being a grieving widow who mental state is shatter enough to agree to Bon’s deal. Jack due to him possibly committing suicide (though I’m not fully sure). Sophie due to growing up with the trauma to a point of taking meds and mentally blocking out the entire situation (not saying that taking meds is bad btw).

TLDR: The entire Walten family deserve better and Felix needs to be kick in the balls before thrown in a volcano.
