Not gonna lie, when Kara stopped Ruthye from killing that guy, I was a little confused, mostly because Kara had definitely just killed a ton of guys literally seconds ago and now she draws the line at the guy in charge? Of course then it became clear as the scene continued on that Kara never cared about whether this guy lived or died. It was Ruthye she was trying to save. But that was true the whole movie, wasn't it? And when she stopped Ruthye from becoming a killer, only to take on the burden herself because that was the kindest thing Kara could have done in that moment? Oof. That hit hard. It was such an emotionally satisfying scene on so many levels. I loved it.
Also The Middle cover in the fight scene was awesome people are just mean or they don't see the vision. But I DO. I SEE THE VISION.
and this is also part of why the wot ending upsets me
because why is it more meaningful and impactful for kara to spare ruthye and herself the killing of krem, just to send him to the phantom zone to be redeemed (okay, why is he special but a message about redemption isn't that awful) but then just to have ruthye ultimately kill him??? like what did we do there? why not just have kara kill him? it's so gross and weird and icky to go "hey even the most awful people can change lol nvm we can let them believe theyve changed and then kill them bc of their past actions"
my kindest of friends has gently informed that my addition to this post is in fact wrong af. krem doesn't die at the end of wot. oops
