Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
So I don't know if this came through in my review last week or if I didn't say anything cause I wanted to seem classier or whatever but I'm seriously so in love with Miyamura. Something about his character and design feels like it hits every trope I enjoy and though it might be too soon, I can't help but see him as a future favorite husbando of mine! Ironically though I said all that, this week was all about Hori and I liked it just as much cause I know a lot of people complained that though they fell for Miyamura, they were kinda meh about Hori. Personally I didn't have that problem and I liked that she was so full of personality rather than the quiet shy blank self-insert character that a lot of rom coms have in order for the audience to put themselves in the female lead's shoes. It was so funny that she spent so much of this week trying to find out Miyamura's first name but also I adored the way Miyamura worried about her in return. He didn't understand why she was acting so weird but I also loved how quickly he stepped in to support her in the face of the student council president blaming something on her. I kind of love that the two are so into each other but they don't actually know it yet so there's no real jealousy though there is an undercurrent of sadness when they think of parting.
The fascinating thing about this season premiere is how Riverdale really just jumped right back to where we were last so this episode felt less like a premiere that shook things up and more like returning in the middle of a season break! Now there's nothing wrong with that other than the fact that we as seasoned tv watchers are used to starting a new season with a new year so the fact that we're returning to 2 weeks before graduation is interesting. This week was the prom episode and a return to the terrible video mystery that I had totally forgotten about cause it was so much lamer than the Stonewall Prep mystery we got. I still don't know who the person will end up being but as the mystery goes on, I wonder more and more about Jellybean and whether she could be the one behind it cause it can't exactly be a coincidence that she showed up at the rave. Either way I'm hoping that the mystery will be wrapped up in the next episode or two so we can clear the slate cause as we all know that there will be a time jump in this season which I'm assuming means that we'll be skipping from high school graduation to college graduation. That's probs the big reason why it looks like all our main couples are breaking up (or will break up) this week. Archie told Veronica that he kissed Betty so they broke up and I'm sure that Betty and Jughead will be following soon especially since Hiram is on a vigilante kick and overheard Veronica crying to her mom about it. I do want to say that I'm glad that even if Lili and Cole broke up offscreen that their breakup didn't cause any problems onscreen (unlike when Nina and Iain broke up on Vampire Diaries and you could see how much the two actors hated acting side-by-side) cause the two still had tons of chemistry. Meanwhile it also looks like all the complaints Vanessa lodged this summer over Riverdale never giving her story is turning into a Romeo and Juliet story for Toni and Cheryl and really I just wish I cared about them more as a couple.
The promo for next week looks like we'll be focusing in on Archie and his anger and probs his PTSD from everything he's been through in the past 5 seasons! It always makes me laugh cause this show went from him being like gee golly dad I want to play music instead of football to yeah I've been to juvie and wrestled a bear and own a gym now.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Episodes 15
So the competition officially began this week and right away Itadori was separated from the others though I'm not sure if him volunteering to stay back to fight Todou meant that the other school succeeded or not especially since it looks like Todou doesn't care to follow what the others want. It was honestly hilarious seeing him decide that Itadori was going to be his best friend just cause they have similar taste in women though it's questionable how much Itadori cares since he seemed mostly confused and irritated by Todou. Itadori really seems like he's a whole other mental league than the others just cause he went through that trauma with his friend but I think that's really just chalked up to the fact that we've spent so little time on the ensemble since there's no way that 2 and 3rd years aren't serious about being a Jujutsu sorcerer either. It was also nice to see some worldbuilding in terms of where these kids will end up and it was interesting to note that like My Hero Academia, a sorcerer needs to basically be sponsored by/intern with other higher sorcerers and they can't be the person who trained them. I'm sure that eventually Itadori will end up with Nanami since he can't join Gojou.
I'm starting to wonder whether rather than Wanda being trapped in some sort of reality warping bubble if maybe she's not the one doing all this herself instead cause it really does feel like she has waaay too much control over things around her. When Vision started to question what was going on, she rewound time like last week and returned to what they were talking about before and when Monica started to remember that Pietro was killed by Ultron, it seems as though Wanda forcefully pushed Monica out. As we saw, something warped and opened and Monica fell out. It also doesn't help that the others almost told Vision that they were all something and I wonder if that something is mind controlled. Perhaps while Wanda was giving birth and her focus was elsewhere if the spell that's controlling all these people lifted enough for them to remember that they're SWORD agents and not living in some sitcom. I'm also left wondering this week about how Vision is even here cause last week I sort of just assumed that he was another figment of Wanda's imagination but he's starting to discover things on his own and that makes me think that something else is afoot.
