Honestly, with the current Milgram voting drama, I quite glad that Mikoto's MV is coming out in more than a month. It will give the non-Milgram fans time to get bored and do something else with their life.
It does make me really worried for Amane. She, out of everyone, needs nuanced discussion. Although, the religious character getting screwed over by a superstition is a little funny. But not funny enough to deserves her voting get ruined.
But don't lose hope guys! Please...
They'll get bored eventually.

Why haven't we ever gotten a proper adaptation of Iris West and Barry Allen's dynamic in live action Flash media? Because every time they get adapted as a couple, its always done badly in an uncomfortable way.
In the comics, they meet on a crime scene because Iris West is a reporter, Barry Allen is a CSI and that's that. This is the base of where we're starting at in terms of what to adapt from
In the 1990 Show, Barry is still a CSI and Iris is a computer graphics artist. She is also 9 years younger than Barry. I'm going to assume Barry is near or at least in his thirties in the show, because him dating a minor feels off. Thankfully Barry and Iris were not the focus couple in the show. More to critique on Iris though, she looks nothing like her comic counterpart and might as well be a totally different character.
In the 2014-2023 Flash TV Show Barry is still a CSI and Iris becomes a reporter over time. No real problem with that until you remember how they are basically step-siblings. I can see that the writer's intent was to make Barry and Iris childhood best friends to lovers, but did they have to make them basically step-siblings?
Then there's the most recent adaptation of the Flash in the movie. I expected this to be done better, but Barry's awkwardness prevents their chemistry from being palatable. It doesn't help that in Zack Snyder's Justice League, he caresses Iris' face while running at super speed. Again, I see the attempt to show his desire for connection but feels like he can never have that, but again its just weird. And it isn't supposed to be that weird. They knew each other in college, Barry was just too hesitant to talk to her.
So what have we learned today kids? Every adaptation of Iris West and Barry Allen's relationship makes things pretty weird for no reason. Same with Barry being himself with Iris, its always some degree of weird.

'You reject God?'
'Yes.'
'It is not enough to reject him, you must hate him.'
'Do you hate him?'
'I abominate the concept.'

Most of the time I don't care but something I never understood was why Pokemon fans hated Goh.
I only watched a few episodes of Journeys and maybe he got worst or something as time went on but I don't get it.
One reason for hating him I saw was because he caught a Legendary. Suicune specifically.
This was because he caught it in a regular ball? (I think) I really didn't see the problem.
One it was already really hurt and two this is the same show a Master Ball FAILED at catching a pokemon as basic as a Wiscash.
Maybe you have a better reason for hating him but I really don't see it.

It's weird for others to be super defensive of characters like any criticism toward the character is a personal attack on them but if you bash my perfect blorbos who have done nothing wrong i will cry and be so so sos o mad at you

Iris has been horribly grouchy lately. After the debacle with the well-meaning search party and her nearly mauling the lady from the space center I'm about ready to send her into the ring if it will help her cool off. I know Iris was originally trained to be a "cool" Umbreon, so maybe I'll have to give it a shot.
Anyone in Mossdeep got pointers? Do I just ask the gym leaders for advice?
