Alright, since Earthspark is out we have to talk about something IMPORTANT, cause I'm already seeing some iffy but not judgy complaints for the mcs especially the black boy, Robby. Now, let me start this off by saying, cause I know once I finish writing this people might not see the end, I am not saying you can't dislike him or his sister, Moe. But I am BEGGING this fandom and everybody in general to be glad they are allowing their black child mcs to be immature and expressive just like other white mcs in the past series have been. *cough* Jack *cough* Robby by all means still has a certain level of maturity and ingenuity shown in the first episode despite his own outburst to be suddenly moved to another way too far out of state place compared to the city, which is jarring and scary for a whole slew of reasons, yet he still helps and waits for his younger sister when her bike needs fixing. But he has the right to be upset and the episode frames that in a great way for a black family, where the child gets to express themselves freely but has the space to be angry. And this may not seem "likable" to some but to me, it's a really sweet scene that shows Dot and Alex are understanding of their son's anger but also, they have their reasons for moving. And stick by it, which again for Dot, a black woman, her husband putting her dreams first, peak. We don't see that ENOUGH! So, what I'm trying to say is, try to be a bit more understanding of these emotions and family dynamics we'll see in this show from a black perspective.
