#How many times can a mf learn the same seventh heaven ass lessons and you're like oh he's growing so much....for the 10th time 😭

I will not respond to the bad take I will not respond to the bad take I will no-

But here's the thing, in no narrative sense does it work out how utterly stupid they make Harry. Disabled caricature rainman thing yeah believe me I get that but truly think about it, how the fuck do you get a scientist on his planet, entrusted to travel lightyears on an extremely important mission but also doesn't know a single thing? His people came here for thousands of years but he knows nothing about humans? He doesn't know their emotions could influence him? He doesn't know very basic things? This assumption is such lazy ass writing, I didn't want to create a solid backstory so I hand wave any question as uh he's stupid haha.

And I'll keep harping on it but creative choices don't exist in a vacuum, being culturally uneducated or emotionally stunted does not make you a fucking child. Narratively, even if you take away that it entirely retcons s1, Harry basically being 'born' the second he landed on earth is nonsense, he had a life, personality, expertise before he came here. His former life would be built on by his experiences and lend to his learning on earth not completely erased so he's just somehow a cruel, oblivious stereotype.
