Ok so. The show is dumb. Really, really dumb. And yet for some reason I really like it??? IDK why, but come yell with me about it.
GOD IT'S REALLY CUTE??? AND I LIKE THE MESHING OF THE LEGO BITS AND THE NOT LEGO BITS I've been watching it in french for practice so it's a slightly different experience but I'M SUCH A FAN.
AHHHH I LOVE IT A LOT??? The animation is very nice and the characters/setting/everything is all super pretty to look at. And the characters are a lot less one-dimesional than I would have expected??? They aren't exactly the most fleshed out characters ever, obviously, but they actually do have personalities and differ in their reactions and reponses to things?
AAAA YEAH AGREED!!! I'm not actually that far in—I'm half through with the episode where sophie gets shifted to the goblin village—but yeah, I love it :D :D I dddddo feel like some of them are playing into Common Tropes, but it's not SO bad that it's annoying
Oh yeah, they're definitely playing into tropes! I called the Spoiler: Obvious Spoiler really obvious betrayal from the first second we saw Cronan
Spoiler: FOR SPOILER oh MAN right??? ah yes...sudden mysterious hottie...he's gonna be evil Spoiler: MORE OBVIOUS SPOILER AND THE ELF NINJA SECRETLY BEING THE QUEEN OF THE FOREST LIKE OF COURSE WE NEVER SAW HER WITH A SPECIALTY SO SHE'S DEFS GONNA BE SPECIAL naida's behavior (I'm on ep 4) is making me go :///// at her rn tho
Ok I'm still on ep 3 but Spoiler: OBV SPOILER WOW SO SURPRISED, this is my surprised face, look how not surprised I am! :D
OH NO BRIAR I'M WATCHING 5 NOW I'M SO HYPE TO BE ON THE SAME EP SO WE CAN RANT ABOUT STUFF BECAUSE OH MY GOSH I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SHOW.
Although I have to say I really love Sophie's "if you're going to do something evil, shouldn't you just do it instead of standing around talking about it?" line. Tbh I love all her lines, she is precious and says exactly what I'm thinking.
If you don't mind rewatching an ep, we could rabbit (a streaming service), and you can see my reactions in real time?
Spoiler: OBV SPOILER IS OBV "This forest was once ruled by a Queen, but the Goblin King lied to her and stole her throne" yeah, it's you, we know.
I had no idea there was a show! I just want all the elf lego sets to build and play Lisa Frank Elfquest with.
Spoiler: Moar Spoilers "She's just jealous that he took her job" ...wow, fuck you Naida. He took over her country, poisoned her land, stole her throne and enslaved her people, that's kind of important!
MAN I SUPER WANT TO BUT I'm getting dragged off for socials in half an hour D: D: D: Spoiler: GOD!!! SPOILER! HONESTLY!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!! OF COURSE SHE DOESN'T LIKE HIM!!! NAIDA DO BETTER @littlepinkbeast it's really cute and will make you want more sets ALSO SOPHIE IS SUCH GOOD CONTENT. I'm so glad they didn't go the "new human? old human feels Left Out" route too hard
I am also glad they didn't go that route! It was nice to see Emily and Sophie as sisters who like each other and are slightly irritated at one another sometimes, instead of at each other's throats/jealous of each other or whatever.
Spoiler: NAIDA STOP "so hey small kid who just got locked in a hanging cage for an unspecified period of time, this is the perfect time to ask if your hot captor is really good after all! :D" NAIDA NO. You don't say that to a fucking kidnapping victim, what the hell!?
Spoiler: Guessing Ok so with Naida going "there's something off about Rosalyn" so much there has to be something wrong, that will get revealed and then immidiently shown to be not actually bad. She's going to be Cronan's sister or former girlfriend or something, I am sure. And obviously he still betrayed her and she was keeping this relationship secret for dumb reasons, like it's her fault her brother/boyfriend betrayed her and stole her throne. Sigh. Show, please don't be so predictable. And of course our heroes will be upset for like one episode maximum, and then get over it and be BFFs forever.
Spoiler: replies I'M SUPER HYPE FOR YOU TO GET THERE also fuckin naida :| it's going an interesting route imo!!! I wish naida had Better Reasons for distrusting rosalyn than CRONAN CAN'T BE BAD.....
ok so!!! Spoiler: I WAS RIGHT Saw the picture and thought ok then, she was his girlfriend/wife, and yep everything I predicted was correct. Oh show. Spoiler: Naida NO ... She's going to go to Cronan isn't she??? *sigh* UGH YOU MORON STOP IT.
