Not sure how I feel about the sudden swearing and vulgar humor.

In what was a children's show?


They didn't abuse it.

one of the funnier scenes in the first season is when jack encounters the scotsman on the bridge for the first time

before they start fighting, the scotsman shouts this ridiculously long-winded insult filled with colorful scotch vernacular

what makes the insult so impressive is that he goes on for, like, 20 seconds without even saying so much as a single curse word, even though you'd totally expect him to, given his nature--yet they cleverly avert it, and it was respectable

with this new episode, that's ruined now--and that kinda sucks

i knew this would happen though, so i'm glad i was right

in this case, any use is abuse

there's no way to "ease into" adult language--you just should not use it if it was never used before

And the Scotsman still doesn't swear

I think the Scotsman's colorful insults are part of his character, but Da Samurai was one of those original episodes where the only reason he never referred to himself as a "badass" was because of the kid's show label.

It isn't a kid's show anymore.

and therein lies the issue: it should've always remained a kid's show

that doesn't mean only kids should be able to enjoy it, but that doesn't mean it must cater to an older audience

it's inconsistent

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I dunno, the Scaramouche joke took me off guard way more than Da Samurai cursing. A few of the instances seemed a bit unnecessary, though.

Da Samurai was so great here btw

I loved the blaxploitation era visuals and aesthetic

seems like theyre setting it up so ashi and jack end up being romantically involved. it could go either way at this point so i wont say much more but i will say that no matter what his physical body looks like jack is MUCH MUCH MUCH older than her and acts as her mentor in a sense so if they get together that would seem really gross to me.
lmao what

Jack is such a dork and frequently has a childish personality

I ship Jashi
borderline rapey due to power dynamics + ridiculous age difference but ok you do you.

people reading this: as you know, I am a very staunch feminist, but this mindset is not okay. To compare two consenting adults having a relationship to the horrors of actual rape is pretty fucked up

once you're an adult your body is yours - nothing wrong with a 20 year old man dating a 40 year old woman or vice versa

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Just caught up from two weeks ago, gotta somewhat agree with Verb in that it was a little odd to hear more adult language in the show since everything else about it still seems so familiar with my memories of the original run, but I guess it did fit the character.

playing the "that's not actual rape" game is much more fucked up than being critical of creepy relationships between old men and their young female subordinates. this isnt a matter of a couple decades. he's around 75 years old. she's like, what, 18? cant be much older than her early 20s. this is just ridiculous.

if you don't give 18 year olds complete autonomy over their own bodies then you're overstepping your domain

Yeah but he looks like he's only twenty something too.
And he's apparently immortal now.

Is it really comparable to an old man of our world dating someone young enough to be his barely-legal granddaughter?

who fucking gives a shit

we know jack is a morally righteous guy anyway so who cares

this is only an issue if someone is being manipulated

guess what
age is literally fucking meaningless, what counts is your character

have you thought that maybe you shouldn't give so much credence to this arbitrarily designated number

Verb preaching the good word. Teenagers of all types should be able to consent to sexual conduct.

have you thought that maybe we need some kind of number - out of necessity of protection minors have less rights

we have to have some kind of line for when youre considered independent in the eyes of the law

nope, you wont steal ten or twenty years of life from everyone

once you're past puberty you're fine

no one can fucking dictate who you can or cant date

I would date an old woman, is she taking advantage of me? Of course not. Not EVERY May-December romance is exploitative

It's ridiculous that nuka and verb liked this lmao

if you think you have to protect women from their own choices then youre pretty much condescending to them

how does an age difference equal rape? how is it ever okay to compare those two things? If someone is being abused then they are, and if they're not then they arent

age isnt a factor
