Times like this, I wish I could find that NHK World episode of Kabuki Kool, explaining the trope of handsome villains. Pretty sure it was the episode about that play of a terrible husband who then gets haunted, after his wife dies. So many kabuki tropes made it into anime and modern Japanese pop culture media.

Rewatching this vid and reminded of some things.

Hexed's Biggest Problem ISN'T What You Think by Calxiyn Cares Too Much

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't shake the feeling that because Hexed reminded me of other witch series, I couldn't stop thinking that I'd rather be watching those other, better witch series.

This is actually how I felt about Dandadan, except I didn't realize that was the reason. I just kept being reminded of all the ways that Dandadan had copied elements from Natsume Yujinchou, how the mangaka's editor told him to read 100 Shoujo manga, how Natsume Yuujinchou was one of the top Shoujo manga at the time, how so much of Dandadan seems inspired by Natsume Yuujinchou: young looking grandma with a name x-eiko, angry yokai with attitude and old person's voice sealed within a maneki neko form, plot usually about fighting yokai, etc. I remember thinking so much about Natsume Yuujinchou, while watching Dandadan, that I just wanted to watch Natsume Yuujinchou instead. And eventually, I dropped Dandadan.

12:58/46:46 "I did have a rant about Disney's chosen one problem here and how we keep seeing this character has always been perfect the entire time. they will not face consequences and the movie will try to gaslight the audience into thinking a very obvious character flaw is no big deal actually and that everyone else is the problem and that the family or friends that they've hurt just have to get over it, and how I think Billy is going to end up as one of those characters too. "

This sounded so much like how Overly Sarcastic Productions described the "Mary Sue" archetype/trope. How the problem is how they warp the story around themselves to always end up victorious and seemingly blameless, regardless of how little sense that makes.

So of course it reminded me of the Emperor.

I need to stop browsing Twitter

EVIE is the character that we're calling "non-feminine"????????????? EVIE?????????????? In the skin-tight, white unitard that shows off all her curves?????????????

I love tomboys. But omg, if Evie is a "tomboy" just because she has shorter hair than Eve, then people are policing femininity harder than a room full of Boomer moms. wtf

Also, 1990s tomboys from 2D fighting games are my favorite. King was a good pull. <3
