#THEY DID HER SO DIRTY

[longing-for-rain]

Anyone else notice how Katara says “I have healing abilities” instead of “I am a healer” because she didn’t want to be defined as a healer but as a Master and warrior first?

I haven't seen the movie yet but this concept has been rotating in my head for a year now. So.

I find Satine Kryze to be such a fascinating character because some of her decisions regarding Mandalorian culture are questionable (plus the show portrays her pacifism in a weird way), but you can also sympathize with and understand where she is coming from.

Yes, she did was trying to separate Mandalore from its traditional culture and heritage, then getting mad at those who still wanted to practice it. That isn't good or right by any means, as it's basically cultural eraser, and as some people pointed out, kind of cultural persecution, even if it's her own culture.

But at the same time, it's easy to understand why she did it and where these feelings come from. For years, Mandalore was dealing with a massive civil war that nearly destroyed them and forced Satine to be on the run for a very long time as a teenager. She saw her whole world basically fall apart around her due to war and conflict, which is likely how her parents died (can't remember if that was stated/mentioned in canon or not, but it can be inferred). It was obviously very traumatic and made her hate war and conflict as a result.

Not only that, but once the war ended, Satine had to reconstruct and rebuild her entire nation from the ground up. As a teenager. Right after the most traumatizing period of her life. And she had to do most of it by herself, leading her people and trying her best to give them hope. Of course that would make her hate war and violence more. Anyone would after something like that.

An important thing to remember is that traditional Mandalorian culture is known for being very militant or at least having a lot of militaristic aspects to it. Mandalore prided itself on being a civilization of warriors. Mandalore has a history of violence and conflict that has affected their culture as a whole. While it isn't all about war and violence, it is an important aspect of it that many people cite as one of the main aspects of traditional Mandalorian culture.

So of course Satine, a person deeply traumatized by war and violence would blame the military aspects of Mandalorian culture and see it as the source of Mandalore's issues. In her mind, Mandalore is consistently at war, and traditional Mandalorian culture glorifies and encourages that. As she was trying to rebuild her home, Satine wanted to do whatever it took to make sure her people would never be at war again. She wanted to give them peace and stability, because they were nearly destroyed without it. So she decided to get rid of the thing she saw as the source of the destruction: traditional Mandalorian culture.

Due to her trauma, she ended up going overboard and trying to strip Mandalore of all its original culture, especially the military/warrior aspects, and replacing it with a culture meant to focus on peace and pacifism, separating them from their violent past. Satine, at the end of the day, is a deeply hurt person who is desperate to keep her people safe, even if that means stripping them of their history and culture, because she feels like it is the reason they all went through so much pain in the first place.

The more I think about the treatment of Storm in season 1, the more baffled I am. Seriously, wtf were the writers doing with her?

She gets one cool moment in ep1 where she takes down a whole fleet of Sentinels singlehandedly, but it's all downhill after that.

She jumps in front of a shot meant for Magneto, (just... why?) then immediately fucks off so one of her most famous stories from the comics can be adapted (i.e. butchered) into an incredibly truncated 2-parter where she gets crammed into the B-plot of episodes that were spotlighting other characters.

Following this, she's offscreen for multiple episodes, skipping the funeral of one of her best friends for no reason at all. And the only explanation I could think of was that the writers were saving her return for some epic 11th hour rescue, but instead it's almost an afterthought. She shows up in the middle of a montage, making a completely unnecessary save for Jubilee and Sunspot when they were cornered in an alley by an angry mob they could have easily escaped from themselves (you know, because Sunspot can fly).

And then she proceeds to never even acknowledge her friend's death and do virtually nothing in the finale except get shot out of the sky by Sentinels, which she should have been able to easily destroy just like she destroyed the ones in ep1.

jfc, I thought no one was happier than Romy fans about Demayo getting fired and his work on season 2 getting thrown out and re-written, but I imagine Storm fans have got to be pretty damn thrilled about that too.

Now that I think about it,thanks to them was the perfect opportunity for them to have willow suppressing her emotions instead of her... pretty much doing absolutely nothing. It could've foreshadowed her arc in for the future but nooo they had to randomly bring it up then wrap it up in 2 minutes for shipping moments

Willow deserved better writing
