do i still have hope that s2 of the bear was just set up for an anti-gentrification back-to-their-roots realization that the characters will have in s3 after pouring so much into a stupid fancy restaurant and then being like shitttt i’m still not fulfilled AND i’m just back in the world i despised but this time i’m its creator AND the neighborhood isn’t with me anymore. maybe. but not really

#the bear affirmations: it isn’t gentrification if you’re from the neighborhood #we’ll see tho. we’ll see. but s2 did not instill confidence in me like helloooooo the fact that richi became nice after working with rich #people and learning to be part of a fucking brigade or whatever ???#i’ll never trust them after that……….#even if they do use it to like. you know take carmys obsession with perfection and proving that he belongs high up in the cooking world #to its natural end and it ends up spiraling . there’s still this underlying lack of criticism of the institutions they based the show on #and a lack of balancing internal conflict with external effects . like the restaurant truly just exists in a little bubble #which is MAYBE fine… but i don’t like that they only time they leave that bubble is for ‘character development’ that’s just like. fixing #poor people by instilling them with upper class sensibilities idk
