Miscellaneous thoughts about Sonic Movie 3 Maria:

I wonder if introducing her on roller skates was meant to parallel Shadow as well as a way to date the era she lived in, since the GUN accident must have happened in the 70s? If it was intentional, smart move!

the second she drew the smiley face over Shadow's frowny one said soooo much about her personality. She's fun! She's playful! She's a bit reckless too, to show such little wariness in front of a creature that's unlike anything seen on earth and currently floating in a test tube.

I'm glad we got to see more of her: her mischievous side, her teasing side, her thoughtful side, her gentle side... Just more Maria in general.

whoever thought of the idea of Shadow pulling Maria along while she's on skates needs a raise. Cutest scene ever + it was so nice to see Shadow be so free and chill!

the entire 'the light shines even when the star is long gone' moment? Fuck, it's so great. The sheer foreshadowing... the symbolism... the hold and importance of that one line on Shadow. And the callback to Dark Beginnings? End me.

it felt like a smart move on the producers' part in not only changing how she died (from being shot directly to being caught up in a blast) as well as how they cut out the exact moment of her death, leaving only the before and after and letting your mind fill in the gaps. I also appreciated the small change in the commander being friendly with her and actively being against the soldiers shooting her. Though I'm sure all the 'let's watch the child get shot again!!' crowd must be disappointed lol

in a way, I like that the producers took another way to show why Shadow changed his mind about his revenge. In SA2, Maria's last words got twisted when Gerard reworked his memories, making Shadow lose sight of her true wish until Amy triggered his memories by using the same wording Maria did. In the movie, Maria comforts Shadow's insecurity regarding his origins and his difference by telling him his heart is what makes him, to trust in himself to make the right choice. And later on, Shadow realizes that even if Maria is gone, her love for him remains. Her trust in him remains. And he knows the right choice isn't to let the Eclipse canon destroy humankind, but rather the opposite. I like that this gave Shadow a bit more agency in his decision to save the Earth, or that at least that his rationale came from his heart. Plus, it also serves as yet another parallel to Sonic (with Tom telling him to be true to his heart)

Octavia is my favorite, I will forever forever stand with her, she should cut off both her parents and was in the right to cut off stolas' ass

She's the one good character in the show and deserves so much better

The hate I've seen being sent towards this 17 year old girl who is tired of her dad's neglect is insane you don't even want to know about it. Trust me.

I may go into more detail about “Sinsmas” later, but I did want to talk about what I considered to be the one scene/sequence that I thought was very well done and that I truly enjoyed—Octavia’s song, “I Will Be Okay”.

(Song/Character Discussion below)

Octavia’s song is almost everything I could have asked for. A somber echo of Stolas’ song from season 1, Octavia’s I Will Be Okay, finally, finally, gives Octavia a voice and the chance to express her grief over her father’s abandonment.

For the first time in the series, there’s no one to tell Octavia that she should give her dad some slack or that she should forgive him. She’s finally allowed to be upset, to fully mourn her relationship with Stolas and to get mad about what happened. She’s finally allowed to start working towards accepting the ways Stolas’ neglected her, and begin healing from that pain and trauma.

Octavia’s experience is both terribly heart-wrenching and, in the most painful way, freeing. The lyrics reflect that perfectly, with Octavia acknowledging that while she’s not okay now because of everything Stolas put her through, she WILL be okay, and will grow into her own person without him.

The song is a direct response to Stolas’. Octavia is answering him, saying “Yes, I will be okay. Not because of anything that you were supposed to or failed to provide me as a father, but because I will forge my own path, and in doing so will heal from the pain you caused me.”

It’s a bittersweet song about finding the strength to cut contact with someone you loved who has repeatedly failed you in the worst ways, and who isn’t going to change.

I do have one “criticism” for this song and sequence, not because anything from it was poorly done, but because, in my opinion, the song’s visuals could have been even better.

The following scene was in the original storyboards for “I Will Be Okay”, and was changed in the final episode:

I think the decision to change the visuals for these lyrics in the song was a mistake. Please don’t get me wrong, the animation in this entire episode was fantastic, my critiques of Helluva Boss are almost never about the animation.

But the above sequence just has so much more emotional weight to me. It’s the visualization of Octavia realizing she can’t rely on Stolas, that she has to look to herself for comfort.

Octavia taking her younger self from her neglectful father’s arms, symbolizing that she’s accepted that Stolas cannot be depended on and that she’ll have to take care of herself now, is such a powerful image.

It really is a shame to me that they cut this scene, because I think it fully encapsulates everything Octavia has been through in such a simple and effective way. I think the scene really loses something by cutting this visual.

With all of that said though, Octavia’s song, and the scene where she FINALLY calls Stolas out for his behavior were very cathartic for me. I know that the scene’s intent was most likely to make us empathize with Stolas for losing his daughter, but I found myself empathizing only with Octavia, and hoping that she gets the time she needs to heal.

I would love it if the show actually let her decide whether or not she wants Stolas back in her life, but given the way HB’s writers portray women, I worry that it’s likely some big event will happen that “reveals” Stella to be awful, and Octavia will forgive Stolas just like that, and will probably end up apologizing to him instead (like in “Seeing Stars”)

Anyway, just like Octavia being the only good thing in Stolas’ life, “I Will Be Okay” was, in my opinion, the only good thing in “Sinsmas”. (well that and Octavia calling Stolas out)

“Only one? You must try harder little hunter.” Jör smiled back at Hel.

"How many fish did you eat down there?" Jörmungandr chuckled, slowly swimming across the marshy landscape.

One thing I truly love about Mabel is that she is completely genuine and sincere weird little girl representation. She has a morbid sense of humour. She grew up with a horrifying plush bear called Bear-O and literally everybody hated him. Her prized possession is a pig whom she won at a carnival, claiming to be a witch while doing so. Her initial design for a wax figure was a fairy princess horse fairy princess. She punched a unicorn. She draws portraits of her friends on cats and sells them for a profit. Her dream boyfriend is a Bill and Ted clone who has a masters in law. She's scared of stop motion. Her uncle didn't like colours so she hatched a plan with her friends to blind him. When her uncle offered her a free gift from his shop, she took a grappling hook without even considering any other option. One time she said the sentence "it's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids." No one is doing it like her

Agatha, on "The Road" that she is fully aware does not exist, arguing with Jen over the lyrics to a song she knows damn good and well she and her son made the fuck up, is the funniest thing to realize.

Like Agatha really is a professional grade hater 😭
