I just started unironically watching Totally Spies

March 23, 2017, 09:46:07 AM

I admit it

at times I really love this show, at other times I'm kinda shocked at how misogynistic it can be

oh well, 2001 was a different time and I feel they were trying to channel Clueless

it's a great show and I'm going to start watching it a lot (watched when I was a kid), and I can accept that it's a product of its time and still enjoy it entertainment wise

they literally get captured every episode, and usually rely on their gadget of the week to prevail and not their own personalities and cleverness

March 23, 2017, 10:00:40 AM

also I hate the "high school student by day, ______ by night" trope but this show actually makes it work well

DUDE EWWW FEMINISM LMAO

March 23, 2017, 01:21:12 PM

ok I've watched a few more and it's not that bad

they get captured like every other episode but they also outwit their opponents sometimes without the need for gadgets

Third wave feminism is a tumour that must be cut off.
Victim-culture is a cancer that needs to be treated with radiation.

They got dope gadgets though. I want a bullet proof umbrella too.

I preferred Martin Mystery.

Didn't Totally Spies have a furry transformation episode or whatever? Is that why you're watching it?

I like it, it's super fun and engaging

like clueless meets james bond

honestly I'm really into tv shows at a meta level and such, but I'm far from a snob when it comes to shows I watch

I can love a show unconditionally and still recognize that it's bad from a critical perspective (not saying TS is bad)

If it was equality, it wouldn't be called feminism. It would be called equality.

I'm a guy and I watched it. It usually came on before better shows like Kids Next Door and Foster's Home but it was still enjoyable.

I like punitive transformations for the humiliation aspect (into full animals or inanimate objects), but vien always tries to joke that I'm a furry

That was one of my favorite shows as a kid. It's a shame the last (?) season didn't get localized.
