Lets talk about June Chen in ¨Welcome to Necrocomic-con¨ episode

In this episode Ollie tries confronting his parents about how no all ghosts are evil. While Esther and Ruben congratulate him for being an empathetic person, they still insist that ghosts are pure evil.

On the other hand June asks Ollie why he would say something like that and Ollie explains to her that it was a ¨good ghost¨ who made the cannister work. This makes June, who spent most of the episode trying to find an answer of why the cannister worked when it shouldn't have , question things and decide to help Molly and Ollie by taking the canister away from Ruben and Esther.

While one could find this change of mind quite sudden for her character, i think to some extent it does make sense given the context and how June's character works based on her potrayal in the episode.

Unlike Ollie, June gives off the impression to be more open minded to new information and maybe more ¨logical driven¨. The thing that made her turn around was finding an explanation about why the canister did work in ¨Frightmares on Main Street¨ and that she was right about how it shouldn't have worked naturally without Scratch's intervention.

A lot of her change of mind also seems to come from curiosity rather than doing the correct thing. Sure, she mentions how she doesn't want to use her tech to hurt ghosts who are good and she is doing this because she doesn't want to put ¨good ghosts¨ in danger.

However, there is an emphasis in her lines that show that she wants to get answers to why this happened. She mentions how she wants to run some experiments and she doesn't take time in quickly asking Scratch questions, whom is very happy to have someone who is willing to learn from his about ghosts.

This is interesting because it is a different route to the one Ollie's character had after ¨Frightmares on Main Street¨. In June's case, she wants to see what things she was wrong about and quickly takes an interest in learning about ghosts' true nature. It is possible this could become a new interest or hyperfixation for her, which intrigues me where it could go from here.

Another thing worth of bringing up is that being a ghosthunter doesn't seem to be nearly as important to her identity as it was for Ollie. In contrast, Ollie saw himself more as a hero that was protecting others when he was still a ghosthunter while June is something that she does out of ¨family tradition¨.

So while we didn't know a lot about June Chen before, ¨Welcome to Necrocomic-con¨ left clear that she is more open minded in contrast to her brother Ollie and she sees things with a more scientific mind, in the sense that likes running tests and she is more willing to relearn things when proven wrong about something.

I'm going to be honest, I like the concept of the new TGAMM episode and it will be great for Ollie's character. But yeah fact the Chen's have done basically no ghost Hunting and the possibility the conflict will be over in a single episode makes me kinda worried for its impact

Ollie Chen and family expectations

The episode ¨Welcome to Necrocomic-con¨ has Ollie being conflicted with the idea of confronting his parents with the idea that not all ghosts are evil. Ollie tells Molly that their parents have dedicated most of their lives to ghosthunting and that ¨they'll never understand¨.

If there is something that clearly defines Ollie is his fear of letting other people down, specially when it comes to his family. Based on the dialogue from this episode Ollie has been avoiding bringing up the events from ¨Frightmares on Main Street¨ to the rest of the Chens until this point. He doesn't know how to confront his parents about this since part of him wasn't to let them down but at the same time he doesn't like having to lie to them.

This is a conflict probably a lot of young people can relate to. In many families the kids feel themselves forced to hide things from their parents out of fear of disappointing them or getting rejected. This can involve different things like hiding to hide a part of oneself, having hobbies one's parents don't approve of or hanging out with people the parents don't like.

Instead of talking to his parents, Ollie suggests trying to take the Phantom Canister from them. Molly thinks it would easier for them if Ollie tried talking to them since taking the canister sounds more complicated. Both Molly and Ollie try taking the canister again and again by distracting the Chens and grabbing the canister when they aren't looking. Their multiple attemps fail, which leads to Molly to ask Ollie to confront his parents.

So Ollie brings up that they shouldn't show the canister to other people as an evidence that ghosts exist. He talks about how some ghosts can be good and they don't mean any harm all while Ruben and Esther listen to all his speech.

Both Ruben and Esther praise Ollie for being a very empathetic person and hug him. However they quickly ¨correct¨ their son, telling him that he is wrong and that ghosts are pure evil. They haven't considered what Ollie said to them and keep their prejudiced views about ghosts, just like Ollie brought up to Molly earlier.

On the other hand, June asks to Ollie why he would say something like that. Ollie explains that it was a ¨good ghost¨ the one who made the canister work last time, leaving June conflicted about giving the canister to their parents.

A minute later is revealed that June switched the phantom canister for a toy, taking the risk of making her family look ridiculous in front of all people in the convention. Once outside June gives the canister to Ollie and mentions how she is interested in learning stuff about ghosts from Scratch who is more than happy to help her.

In the end Ollie was right that his parents' views are a lot more harder to change because they have grown all their lives dedicated to ghosthunting, but, Molly was also right about Ollie trying to confront his family about their views since in June did listened and considered what Ollie told her, helping Ollie and Molly getting the phantom canister.
