Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
We're all shooketh over Miyamura confessing his love for Hori this week and the biggest question is whether he thought she was asleep or not! Cause I mean it's important to know if he means love love or love like I adore you and you're my best friend but given this is a rom com, I'm sure it's the former so I'm more curious about why he confessed at that specific timing. Of course I wanna give props to him for not only realizing how he felt but also accepting it so early in the season given that Hori was a little horrified by the confession and was like if I pretend not to hear it we can remain as we are though I wonder if it was in return for Hori telling him she doesn't want him to leave her. I do have to say it was a bit ironic that immediately after he told her that he won't leave unless she asks him to he was like okay bye gotta go to school now. I guess he meant more metaphorically. I also liked a lot of the student council shenanigans we got this week with a possible new love interest for Toru which is nice cause he's a good guy and deserves to meet a nice girl who would like him and I liked seeing one of Miyamura's middle school friends.
This episode really felt like a series finale more than what should have been a season finale and I was really just left curious as to where the show will take us now. Graduation happened and everyone but Archie got their diplomas. Archie ended up enlisting in the army but unlike the Naval Academy, he's be going in as a foot soldier rather than an officer. Veronica left to stay with her mom in the Hamptons while Betty and Alice went on a road trip that would end in Yale. Cheryl and Toni broke up but Cheryl decided not to go to college and remained back home hoping to fix the Blossom name while her mom turned herself in. FP and Jellybean went back to Ohio and Jughead the dramatic idiot rather than staying with them or in the Cooper house decided to go back to squatting. This whole episode felt like a soft reset honestly with a return to what was the status quo when this show first started and the one thing I didn't love was the fact that Jughead was the only one who bothered to return one year later like they all promised which did break my heart a little. Though Betty and Jughead didn't break up on screen, I'm assuming they broke up soon after going to college cause otherwise why would he say that it would be six years until they saw each other again. I do have to say 6 years is a random time jump cause I was expecting either 4 or 5. I'm really curious to see if the characters really will feel different than they were cause though Jughead said they were, I will believe it when I see it.
Okay so the promo just like high key spoiled us as to where our core four ended up! Archie was obviously at war, Betty is a FBI agent, Jughead is a published writer, and Veronica is married which is honestly the funniest cause not only did she marry some random dude (as in not a named Archie Comics character) but he's like so average looking in a cast of some of the most attractive people I've seen!
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Episodes 17
This week's episode was actually really good as well and I'm starting to warm up to the ensemble characters this show is giving though I think my problem is still that we're too early in this show's run to be having a tournament arc. Everything I liked in the first half of the show had to do with catching spirits and battling them so I'm really very uninterested in the internal politics of this world. Our Jujutsu Tech kids are clearly leagues stronger than those from the sister school cause the only times they've won is when they've cheated like in the case of Kugisaki who had her battle in the bag and lost only cause she was shot at by another student outside which really shouldn't actually be considered cheating but based in the context of a one on one battle perhaps. I also liked the look at the twins and how Maki is much stronger than Mai but the family doesn't see it cause she doesn't have the ability to see curses and that Mai never wanted to be a sorcerer in the first place and was only forced into it cause Maki decided she wanted to be one and the family couldn't let Mai be left behind when she was the heir they chose.
This episode was absolutely insane and the perfect mix of the sitcom world with the real world which means it took what I loved from last week and added to it! This week we were in the 80s and though there were still sitcom shenanigans with Wanda and the twins who apparently can age themselves at will but the main story I was interested in was Vision starting to realize that things aren't right. After this week I'm of the mind that maybe Wanda isn't the bad guy after all and I'm doubling down on my original theory that Agnes is the one behind all this but that Wanda slowly realized what was happening and now this is all she wants. The reason for this is how adamant Wanda was that she didn't start all this and the fact that she had that conversation about Pietro in front of Agnes in which she talked about how you can't being someone back from the dead and then low and behold there's Evan freaking Peters having been recast as Marvel's Pietro. Part of me feels really sorry for the original actor who I actually really liked in Age Of Ultron but clearly no one else did and the rest of me wonders if this recasting will be permanent or if this is another scenario in which a random person is forced to act as a specific character. I also think it's important that Norm said that "she" did this and not "your wife" or "Wanda." I also want to mention that last week the popular theory was that Hayward was a bad guy and I was sitting here like that's a bit of a jump but after this week I'm definitely on board that train. He hid the fact that Wanda snuck into SWORD to take Vision's body from Monica and his whole shoot first ask questions later mentality was really such a villainous move. Does he want to kill Wanda before she can expose him? What if it was Agnes who disguised herself as Wanda to steal Vision's body??
