>>91828002Yea, doesn't matter why, the execution is what matters and it was annoyingly horrible. I don't get why people defend Betty.
Elements was great, her scenes kept bringing me back to reality though rather than keeping me in the immersion of a good story for the first/second time in years. Islands was great, i just wasn't as immersed.
>>91828078This is more acceptable defending, I can at least see why some defenses are the way they are, assuming you're two different people.
But her interactions with the IK were horrible imo, especially the bit where she said something along the lines of "Seeing you is like looking at my life through a funhouse mirror and it'S DRIVING ME MAD :DDD" and when she insulted him with a little bit much attention to detail, worst offense was how she said "strewn before me". The funhouse mirror thing WAS a writing narrative to give sympathy, and it followed betraying Finn directly as her reasoning. A reasoning that is in that gay ass way of "She's doing that because she thinks it's the right thing, even though it's not, because she's struggling with it". She was going to undo everyone's lives and fix Simon for herself, not even for Simon.
They had the IK "stand up" to her as a way to continue hinting that Ice King is Ice King, not Simon, as she still told him to shut up anyway.
I get it if people like her new personality or whatever, but I'd prefer they see it as it's written. I'm all for discussing if I'm the one seeing it wrong though, but it's just straight from the episodes how she was being a dick, the only thing on my end that isn't a fact is how she felt like a writer's puppet, that was just be exampling how I see her execution. She was written as a sympathizing character who went insane from trying to save her husband and is now suffering herself, that's to it's core what we're supposed to sympathize with, with things she said being important in that regard along the way.
