#and im ignoring it for the point of 'WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG FUCKING CHARACTER'

[sludgekludge]

the favouritism in this show is so funny. big emphasis on blitz's relationships, a prominent ex, his childhood crush, his current love interest, his coworkers, his father gets a prominent speaking role, even his silent dead mum gets to haunt his narrative…

in the span of 2 seasons, the antagonistic relationship between blitz and fizz gets established via robo-fizz, reinforced via the hallucination in truth seekers. then the actual fizz gets introduced in ozzie's, we get another episode touching on their relationship as kids (noticeably instead of barbie, who is finally introduced next episode), before we finally get a tiny taste of the relationship between blitz and his sister. she gets under 5 minutes of screentime.

after this, fizz and blitz proceed to get 2 half-hour episodes together (one of which largely about fizz's development), and then a little snippit of them palling around while shopping, and another brief cameo of which fizz shows immense care for blitz's survival. this entire arc with blitz's childhood crush/bestie happens and is resolved (as well as. many, many other things) while barbie gets a tick of a bad episode, that should've been about her to begin with. his sister, supposedly someone very important to him that he misses and keeps track of, is barely an afterthought in this show.

blitz's childhood crush got an entire arc before barbie got another speaking role. she actively gets her appearance removed from flashbacks. we can sexualise her in merch, though!

shame that when barbie stepped through the interdimensional garage door it unfortunately closed on her noggin, killing her so supremely she ceased to exist past, present and future. sad! oh well. there are other women characters to shaft
