>>115368947I never preferred Julie, but she at least had qualities that could have been expanded upon for more than just “relationship fight of the week”.
Like, ok, she’s into sports and is really good at it. What is that used for? Not an excuse for Ben to leave the US and deal with alien bullshit in another country, but an excuse to show why Ben was such a shitty boyfriend because he’d rather watch the Sumo Slammers movie (again) than sit through her tennis match.
Oh, she’s got an alien dog that’s also an Upgrade? No, she’s not allowed to have a sweet mech suit until the fucking finale. We’re too busy having her and Ben fight over it.
Like, we can all hate Kai because she has no redeeming qualities. Julie is just frustrating because she HAS redeeming qualities but then never gets to use them
