one thing that i love about n00b (2024) is that in the big fight between the five main characters, not a single one feel unreasonable in their arguments or their emotions.
i remember talking to my partner about it while watching it, and they agreed that these characters feel like actual, relatable teenagers. all of their problems make sense, their reactions make sense, their emotions and the way the respond and lash out at each other makes sense.
yes, they are being unfair, and harsh, and selfish. that’s what it’s like being an imperfect person. and it’s especially what it at least feels like when you’re a teenager.
i love it when media can embrace it when characters are not flawless and perfect, but that doesn’t make them monsters, it doesn’t make them horrible people. they’re just being normal people who lash out and fuck up under stress.
they’re just being teenagers, in a way that is so realistic to actual teenagers
