Posting some memes for the funsies

[ladymiraclewings]

I've been rewatching PMATGA lately since a long time after Molly McGee ended, and i remembered that this show too was also cancelled after his second seasons....

[blehblarghblah]

I also want to state The Ghost and Molly McGee’s Game On episode is one of my favourite episodes in all of cartoon media.

Even if the moral of the story is played out, I just love the animation in that episode. I feel like you can tell the animators had fun with it too.

It just looked so darn fun.

Me and my sister watching that episode:

Or how to lose friends and repulse everyone.

[blehblarghblah]

Me reading a post that actually has some good analysis on twdg s2.

Talking about how both Jane and Kenny represent Clem at her worst is perfect. Jane is not my favourite character but as OP says, she is a well written character. Too many people hold Kenny to such a high standard that they refuse the ending to be even anywhere near plausible enough to happen.

Or, they just love Kenny as the good ending.

Either way, I love the ending for having Clem be alone—not just ‘cause ~trauma~—because it’s also a reminder to Clem that she can’t have the past as it was, but she also can’t let herself be a selfish loner. Of course, in s3 to s4, we see she still clings to both of these aspects in varying ways.

Kenny is a tragic character in that we can see his descent. Jane is a tragedy because she already is who she is, and that sweeps up the conflict at the end. Their confrontation pits Clem in the middle and forces her hand: none of this is what she wants.

None of these people are who she want.

And when all hope is supposed to be lost…

She finds AJ.

Thoughts on Jane from TWDG?

I don't like Jane. She left a baby in a car during a snowstorm, and I hated the way she treated Sara or anyone she viewed as a burden. However, she would make a top ten list of my favorite TWDG characters because I LOVE her writing despite not liking her as a person.

She has SO much to dissect. Especially regarding her "self-survival" mindset and how her sister made her into what she is. It's so fascinating to watch her interact with Clem while knowing she's seeing everything her sister could have been, but it's so morbid watching her interact with Sara and knowing she's seeing everything her sister was. I very much get the impression that Jane clings to the idea of Sara being hopeless because if she's not, then it means her sister wasn't hopeless either, and that would mean she left her sister to die for no reason. And she can't face that.

More Undercut

I also love how subtle her character is. It's easy to figure out why she is the way that she is, but you have to listen to what she says and then think about it a bit. Her trauma isn't "in your face" and obvious like Clem's or Kenny's. Instead, it's explained through a story during a snow storm. She tells Clem that she HAS been in a group before, and she watched them die one by one as they tried to save one person. And they DID save that one person...but it turns out they were bit. They turned, and killed one of the few people left alive in the group, and that means all those people died for no real reason because that one person was doomed from the start.

If you apply that story to Jane's character, and then you apply the story about her leaving her sister behind, it's so easy to figure out why she's such a selfish loner. The apocalypse taught her nothing but self reliance...and sure that's good to an extent, but Jane often takes it to an extreme. She hid AJ in the car because she assumed she knew best about Kenny, and therefore she needed to prove her point in any way possible, even if that meant possibly killing a baby.

I also think she's neat because she and Kenny are both who Clem could be at her worst. We see this in Season 3 after Clem temporarily loses AJ and becomes a hot headed loner who prioritizes her own interests. She never gets to the level of constant rage Kenny had, or the selfishness of Jane, but I do think she was a few tragedies away from getting there. And in that way I find Jane interesting because she is a dark mirror of what Clem could have been.

Jane such a fucked up character, but I wish she was analyzed more than she generally is. There's a lot to her, and I think her trauma impacts her more than a lot of people acknowledge. That doesn't justify her actions, but it does add layers to them.

Did this meme some days ago...

Yep it's during the pre-series and s1 as a whole....

Also with my Inside Out fixation ressurfacing i was thinking about a TGAMM AU with it, where's everything's the same but the characters have their emotions sentient and one of them their primary one.

For now i have only this:

Molly's lead emotion: Joy

Libby's : Sadness (or Anxiety)

Andrea: Disgust

Scratch: Anger

[blehblarghblah]

wait wait wait, what about "Like Father, Like Libby"?? What are your thoughts on THAT dad episode? Especially bc what you said about alador. I cried 😭

^ me at that sleazy Matias

This is one of those moments where I meant in my other post TGaMM does a good job of balancing humour with serious tones, but evidently not making it a cheapened moment. Libby is a great character who has visibly grown out of her shell thanks to Molly's influence, and when we see her be passionate we can see/relate to a lot of aspects of her child-like glee. Granted, she is still a kid, but the way her excitement of lost time/potential takes hold of her here in this episode is even something Leah was surprised by. Which makes it very real and relatable!

To briefly pull away from the focus of the episode, I loved the B plot with Molly and Scratch because of the gags and one-liners. One of my favourite tropes in fiction, especially in sitcom series, is a character who is suddenly doing crosswords for the entirety of the episode which basically tees up punchlines and gags. I don't care if it's cheesy, I always find it hilarious. It's a simple way to set up jokes, but TGaMM did great with their deliveries and had me and my sister cackling.

Which is good! As undercutting serious tension can be needed to add levity. I feel as though if I had watched this episode as a kid, a lot of Leah's behaviours would've gone over my head then. But as I am now, seeing how she is, having moments of laughter adds great balance to the main story. And additionally, more moments of Libby and Molly's BFF nature is great: the fact that she knew Molly already messed up but was just playing it off just goes to show how well she knows her friend (I headcanon she asked Molly to put Simon on the phone just to troll her).

Now, the dad.

I love that Leah wasn't disheartened or jealous with Libby's sudden affection for her father. She had discomfort, but mainly because she knows what kind of man Matias really is. Seeing how she subtly places herself in support of her daughter throughout the entire is a great detail in how she is the parent that stayed and truly loved Libby, but also that Libby is aware of her mom's presence. As when the moment happens, she immediately knows she can rely on her mom again.

She just misses her dad.

And that, is wonderful storytelling in the way that not even Libby was aware how much she wanted her father in her life until the opportunity presented itself. I don't think she wanted to become a writer because of him, but I bet that had a small influence in her outlet with her poetry and such. Much of his lack of presence takes a toll and is finally let loose here, which enhances Libby's expectations. She asks her mother if his personality is basically anything like the stereotypical dads she's no doubt read/heard about.

Though I believe even Libby started to suspect something at the moment she met him too, as when her dad gave her a signed copy it felt like she recognized his signature was more general than personalized for her. Seeing that after all the expectations and build up, he turns out to be exactly as Leah suspected, was a gut punch but also very raw. Letting Libby soak in her moment for a bit was nice, but having her come out of it and recognize her mother's value in her life made it all the better.

All in all, a great episode and definitely up there in my top five faves so far.

(P.S.: Matias book series is gonna flop, what kind of publisher decides to make a book into a trilogy after a book is released?)

Until next ask,
