Oh, god, I love this show. It's hilariously horrible, but not quite as cringe-inducing as, say, the original Transformers. Or Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It's brilliant.

Edit: No! We're out of episodes! Nooooo.

You know, I think you have just managed to do in two comments what my father has been trying to do for a month. I WILL NOW TRY VERY HARD TO NOT FALL ASLEEP OUTSIDE. VERY HARD.

It was frustrating, because each try took thirty minutes--which is not long, but twenty minutes of that was just staring at the stupid snail which I think was dead anyway, it never moved!

Tell your dad to sacrifice his blood to the tick gods to convince you next time.

Maybe that's why it wasn't respirating...

Sorry for the delay, I had to. Essay over six thousand characters in an LJ comment about Kingdom Hearts at someone. I will never be free.

... I hope you explained every single damn thing that happened, man. There's not that much substance to that freaking game.

We are metaing about why Kairi is not a weak character. This has the potential to reach thousands of actual words, not characters. Fortunately LJ just lost my latest two-comment addition to the discussion and I'm giving up and making voodoobob do it instead in frustration.

Your insights! They were destroyed. I admit, I never found the girl all that strong myself--if only because I don't actually recall her doing all that much and that's how I tend to judge these things.

Eh, if you looked at it thematically she was pretty cool. Which I do. Compulsively.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

She never interested me because she wasn't particularly proactive? She mostly responded to things that happened to her, and while those responses were sometimes cool it still made her mostly reactive. I couldn't tell you what Kairi's personal objectives, wants, et cetera were, beyond a vague desire for her friends to be alive and happy.

I am also really fuzzy about what happened in Kingdom Hearts. I played it forever ago.

And this reminds me of the fandomsecrets wank about whether or not the Disney princesses are strong characters. Which is appropriate, really.

You want to see the thread? So far Lyssie and I have taken up five comments with how she tries to subvert her reactive role in subtle ways, though you are not technically incorrect. You probably do not want to see the thread.

Very much so!

Why wouldn't I want to see the thread? Does something terrible lurk within?

That wank confused me utterly. Debate is impossible when people either hate the company absolutely, or are so hypnotized by the ~MAGIC OF DISNEY~ that it's like they've joined a cult. AND NEITHER POINT OF VIEW MAKES SENSE.

I don't know. Too much meta? The girl trying to say that Sora sacrificed himself for some reason other than Kairi in her own essay above ours is kind of hilarious.

True enough, and I think this may be a repeat.

YOU LINKED ME TO A CHARACTER BASHING ESSAY. WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT IN THE REASONS I MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE LINKED.

I didn't realize how bad it was until I started actually reading it before going "you're wrong."

I should have just stuck with denying her points without looking at them.
