We report, unsure whether the storm has ceased yet: the clouds are twisting, tangled up waters crashing at the edges of the sky. All the rain is still in the air, and the cold damp is keeping us alert. The sky already looks new to us. The wind is changing direction again.

They did the Keepers SO dirty in Seabound!!! They’ve dedicated themselves since the dawn of time to preventing Wojira’s return, and Nyad herself was evidently a Keeper, but then Seabound actually rolls around and they end up doing nothing to help. Those annoying British guys who stole the amulet from them, the reason the Keepers can’t help, get to do more to prevent Wojira’s return than they do.

Idk it just frustrates me how Clutch and the Explorers Club literally stole from the Keepers but the show still acts like the ninja are required to play by their rules, as if the ninja don’t steal all the time from other bad guys. Because even if the show is making a joke about them being stuffy British guys, it’s still kinda downplaying their colonial aspect by portraying them as goofy comedic relief who get their time in the spotlight helping out, especially with how Clutch doesn’t even get a slap on the wrist for rendering half of The Island for nothing.

This is getting into conspiracy territory but I wonder if someone higher up realized the racial implications of the Keepers, but the sets were too far into development to redo everything, so they minimized the number of episodes they dedicated to The Island to brush past it as quickly as possible, and that’s also why the Keepers do basically nothing in Seabound.

Of course, despite the attempts to minimize the issues with the Keepers’ portrayal (making them not bad guys, it’s all just a misunderstanding and they even treat their prisoners fairly well!) the show still falls into some racist traps, like making them superstitious natives who get fooled by more ‘civilized’ peoples and need other civilized people to rescue them. Timothy gets to play a role in stopping Ronin using one of their catamarans, but not the Keepers whom Ronin was exploiting in the first place (and this is coming after Master of the Mountain, which did much more to give the Munce and Geckles agency against Vangelis).

And then the show tried to subvert the trope of natives worshipping a foreigner as a god… By having then sacrifice him to appease another deity instead. When you add all this and how the narrative acts as if the Keepers can’t be entrusted to protect the storm amulet (but Shintaro can), it comes across as deeply infantilizing. It’s also just wasted potential from a basic storytelling perspective, because these guys literally have lightning powers tailored to fight aquatic beings but then never interact with the Merlopians. Mammatus would’ve soloed Kalmaar.
