If there’s one thing I know, it’s that Tony is going to assume everyone else views Kenta as disposable as he does, it will not occur to him that someone would come to help Kenta, and he is NOT going to see Kim OR Kim’s gun coming

This moment was far gayer than their kiss.

I'm thinking of going in now. Hey, wait a second. You stopping me again? I thought you were the calm type. You're being reckless as hell. Don't get in my way.

Ahem

I have to talk about the KimKenta scene with Alan. Not only did it deliver quite possibly my favourite moment of the series so far, but this tiny little scene also did such a great job at showing us just how far Kenta has come individually and how much Kim and Kenta’s relationship has developed. Seriously, Pit Babe has been doing a really good job at the “show don’t tell” screenwriting rule.

First of all, I love seeing that Kim is still someone in Alan’s (and, as an extension, X-Hunter’s) life. Alan’s angry and upset and who does he turn to? Kim. The resident Sensible Guy. I just love that Kim is clearly like this beacon of sanity that everyone seems to gravitate towards.

Next, look at this picture.

Kenta actively joined Alan and Kim. He’s not hiding in his room. He’s not avoiding them. At the beginning of season two Kenta was this dark figure lost in a plume of smoke, just looking to vanish after he told Pete Tony was alive. But now? He’s wearing slippers, sipping on tea and feels comfortable enough to join the conversation. The sheer domesticity of it all makes me want to scream.

I also think the fact that it’s just Alan also says something. Alan, the guy that always seems ready to give out second chances and collects strays and gives them a home. Mr Found Family himself. I truly believe Alan barged into Kim’s apartment and just treated Kenta like he’d always been there, which immediately put Kenta at ease.

And he’s concerned! As soon as Alan hurts himself he jumps up to help him. He beats Kim to it! He’s not passive. He’s an active participant in this scene.

Also I love this quick shot of Kim watching Kenta.

Like I just love how we’re seeing Kenta become a whole person outside of being Tony’s guard dog. And again, the writers/director/Garfield are doing a great job of showing, not telling.

In all the fan fics I’ve read, they always focus on Kenta being broken, and he is, and I love reading stories that explore that. But I also love seeing these other pieces of Kenta come into focus. Yes, he’s broken but he’s also someone that has an enormous capacity to care.

And then he catches this wild stray from Kim

And in the split second before he gets the phone call you can just see him eyeing Kim like, “exCUSE ME?”

Great stuff. No notes.

Okay, okay, hear me out. I have a simple case for why Chris isn't Way, and if he is, it doesn't make sense.

And that is: Way wouldn't know shit about science. And they couldn't have planted him and built up a reputation for him in the scientific community in a year.

Now, if he is Way....*sigh* because they will just wave this off.

This is something that I don't get: Didn't Dean, Winner, and Kenta were broke out of prison by Tony, and the only reason Dean managed to escape is because the other side thought they have already killed him (shot in the back while running)????

So, why is Dean living freely and why is the police not looking for him? ����

Because if he is still an escaped prisoner and Tony still wants him dead, aren't they just inviting trouble for Dean?

Unrelated to the plot and totally trivial, but my OCD cannot handle Charlie putting those canned food in the same cupboard as the glassware 😭😭😭

Please, put them in the pantry or something 😭😭😭

[ahopeplus]

I'm sorry but this

could have been a phone call

[ahopeplus]

Is it just me, or isn't it weird to stock your canned food in the same cupboard as your cups? And why the one over the stove?

[ahopeplus]

NO AIRBAGS!? No sponsorship this season. They've got too many car accidents happening for that.

JEFF, YOU CANT TELL WHERE YOU ARE AND WHICH REALITY YOU’RE IN AND YOU CHOSE TO DRIVE?

[ahopeplus]

Listen, I hate the writing for Charlie and Babe right now. But I'll never hate watching Pavel act a dramatic scene.

[ahopeplus]

Charlie's vision is nothing good :/

[ahopeplus]

Alan: I will delay my surgery so I can be there for Jeff and the rest of my team because I have to be strong for them.

Charlie: (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ🌸 What did you just say, Alan? Hold my flower, Babe.

Babe: 🌸＼(｡-_-｡) I got your flower. Tell him off!

Charlie: (ʘ‿ʘ) This man knows nothing about being self-sacrificing. Now I will absorb all of Jeff's powers into myself instead!

Babe: 🌸 ＼(;.;) WAIT NO TAKE BACK YOUR FLOWER.
