#& we're also consistently shown that her relationship to Micheal Trent is kinda vapid esp compared with the creature. lol

Okay I keep seeing posts about that one scene in Lisa Frankenstein where she goes on her "you like cool things but you don't want your girlfriend to like cool things" rant and I didn't think this would be a controversial take. But like. She's wrong in that scene, right?

And I don't mean to be an asshole, I just mean that in that scene she's very much a teenager, and sometimes being a teenager means you're incredibly self centered.

Like don't get it twisted, I'll defend Lisa with my life (and I can argue that Micheal Trent led her on. And I will). But when you examine the actual scene, its Lisa being unable to cope with the reality that Micheal has always liked Taffy more, and that she had kinda been projecting her own feelings on him. (Normal teenage shit).

So she yells, and accuses Micheal of being vapid, and inadvertently claims that Taffy isn't cool/interesting/deep which is a little shitty. But as the audience we're supposed to see that Lisa is the one being childish in this situation. Micheal doesn't owe Lisa reciprocation, nor does Lisa have ownership on being multifaceted. Taffy has her own problems, and they're just as valid as Lisa's, and it just so happened that those problems helped her connect with Michael. And that's shitty, it's the kind of thing that you want to scream about, especially if you're a teenager, but it's not really the offense that Lisa feels like it is.

But I kinda assumed that we all understood that even though Lisa claims that Micheal is the one being shallow, it's actually her (and that's okay) right?
