Normally when a show warns you about nudity, they only mean “hey there are going to be tits”
However, “Blue eyed samurai” doesn’t shy away from showing a COPIOUS amounts of dick. Like- there are so many dicks on screen at some parts it’s hard to not look at one
Also a white colonizer getting fucked in the ass by a tengu mask??????

I know this has been mentioned many times before, but I'm gonna mention it again, because it just chokes me up: the smile of absolute joy on Stede's face when his crew proclaim him a real pirate.
This man who just wanted real friends and had never felt accepted or loved, and he's got an entire crew of people loudly declaring him to be a pirate, right in the face of one of his childhood bullies who tried to claim him for "my world."
And his crew are like, "No, he's ours!"
Like, that's not just the face of a man relieved that he's going to live. That's someone who really didn't think there was anyone who cared whether he lived or died being told that a whole crew of people love him.
And he immediately gets a bunch of bitchy confidence:
It's so important that it's not just Ed that stands up for him, but all of them.
I dunno, man, it really makes me tear up.
(Also Rhys Darby's ridiculously expressive face that he puts every emotion into so you can see Stede's joy and relief and pride.)

The Marry My Husband live action adaptation is giving an interesting insight on how to spot a toxic/sociopathic/narcissistic friend. Like there are things I’m noticing or the show points out that I don’t think I would be aware of to recognize irl.
Huh.

i wasn’t SUPER into the sandman but then i got to ep 6 and something just clicked. it’s like. up until then we’re in dream’s story and we kinda have to take him seriously as this super powerful godlike being. like ok he’s dramatic but that’s just how gods are! i get it! but then we meet death and she literally just acts like a normal person and we realize oh, it’s not cause he’s a god, he’s just the emo baby brother. and something about that is very endearing to me.

I was unsure whether to discuss this because the discourse surrounding this character has been contentious, but Lois being an intern is weird, right?
Like, not bad, but weird?
Overall, I do like this version of the character so far. She has a great design. She keeps her hair short and her make-up/accessories limited to make her seem more mature and official, but it just ends up accentuating her youthful face. She wears a massive coat to make herself appear larger, but it just manages to swallow her whole, making her small frame look smaller. She also tends to wear more form-fitting and age appropriate outfits under this coat, showing her youth. These elements visually show us that she is a young woman (of color) who desires to be taken seriously in an environment that refuses to. She tends to overdo her attempts to be taken seriously, highlighting her youth and immaturity.
I also like how the character's written. She feels like a young Lois. She has her reckless streak. She will jeopardize everything and everyone for the sake of the story. In the first episode, she lies to Clark and Jimmy in an attempt to get her story, even though it could make them lose their internship. In the second, her plan is to follow the person who tried to kill her the previous day, even though it would put her in danger. She hasn't learned her limits yet and does not feel accomplished enough to respect those limits.
She's also not cynical yet. She actually seems a bit wide-eyed and optimistic. She's still new to the job, so she has not seen the shit that she would have normally seen by the time we meet her in most versions of the story. She's fresh out of college, not a grizzled reporter who has had that feeling of wonder and magic stolen from her by the big city.
I also love that they've adopted the modern version of the Lois and Clark dynamic. She has a crush on Clark before Superman exists, enraptured by his bumbling nature, awkward demeanor, and kindness. She then becomes obsessed with Superman, not because she thinks he's hot (though she sometimes can't ignore that fact), but because he's the perfect story. Being the first to interview Superman will give her the recognition she craves. I'm expecting a story where Clark believes that Lois prefers Superman because of her obsession with him, so decides to ask her out in the tights, where she rejects him, saying that she is trying to build up the courage to ask out one of her friends (because Lois should be the one to make the first move, right).
I obviously like what we've seen so far, but I am having difficulty adjusting to Lois being an intern.
Like, there's nothing wrong with it. It is a new, interesting way to interpret the character. It's just not what I would do because it means that we can't really do elements of the Clois dynamic until later on.
From my experience, the fun in their dynamic comes from their competitive natures and their opposing perspectives. They are two really talented reporters who, though they are usually partners who work on the same or adjacent stories, are determined to be the first to make breakthroughs in stories. They have fun one-upping each other and take opportunities to playfully tease each other, getting under the other's skin to push them farther (which is a side of Clark that only Lois and Bruce experience). They will also gladly admit defeat when the other "beats" them (generally Clark because Lois has to be the one to interview Superman and anyone surrounding whatever situation has caused a Superman sighting since Clark obviously can't).
A more seasoned Lois also makes a great foil for Clark because of her opposing outlook on the world. As stated previously, she is generally a cynic. In every story, there is some facade, some hidden motive and it is her job, as a reporter, to uncover it. Clark, on the other hand, is an optimist. In every story, there is some human element that will shine through whatever darkness presents itself and it is his job, as a reporter, to find it.
That's why Perry made this seasoned reporter (who is on track to get a pulitzer) partner with this new hire that has only worked for smaller publishers. They make up for each other's shortcomings and force the other to be better.
Now, those are really the only things that this dynamic is missing. They still have Clark and Lois being willing to go to different lengths to get a story and they still have different experiences that leads to them getting answers through different means. They are just missing my favorite parts of the dynamic, but that's okay. I'm still enjoying this interpretation of the story and can get these elements through other interpretations.
