c/w: discussion of assumption of predatory themes in this thread
Gosh, I cried during this episode. I thought it was wonderful and uncomfortable and heartbreaking, and I thought it really addressed the issue of loss really, really well without specifically having to come out and say that such was the theme of the episode. I felt genuinely upset watching it because of the sadness of the main character and his attempts to connect with another human being, and it kind of makes me sad that some of the comments here instantly connect that with a more predatory relationship. I can see how the framework of the story could be used to explore such a relationship, and I can see that there is an inherent and potentially dangerous power imbalance here in the episode as it stands, if Calorie ever was a real person and not just a kaijin all along—in fact, if this wasn't children's television, and it wasn't just one episode, I'd be the first person to say, yes, let's talk about this, let's tell stories about this, but I think to assume that is the subject of the text simply based on the fact that it depicts a child and a man undergoing a crisis of faith is a poor read. It also implies that there is a connexion between mental health issues and predatory behaviour, which isn't a pleasant connotation.
I don't know. I was excited to talk about this episode, but now I feel somewhat sad after reading some of the comments. I don't know.
Check yourself
, as Ice Cube once said,
before you wreck yourself.
lighter note: I wish I had a stone that could make me look like Yodonna, lol.
(also: I wish there was some way I could +1 fish's post.)
(also, also: this did the entire Yeti arc of
Saber
better than
Saber
did.)
