#My son…LOOK AT MY-

[whiplashisthinkingaboutbakugan]

Breaking my silence on how Magnus was handled throughout the series. I very much wasn’t silent in the DMs and VCs with my friends but NONETHELESS.

This post is long (not my longest) prepare:

S1 Magnus was compelling as hell like there’s nothing to talk about that I can add substance to. His character arc of learning to value himself rather than just his strength and bringing him strength. Dan saving Magnus from Tikko lives in my brain dude.

Him running himself ragged for Emily GODDDDD ALMOST NO OTHER CHARACTER IN THIS SHOW HAS THAT DEPTH. I can count them on my hand.

S2 Magnus felt like a natural progression. He’s got no idea what to do with himself now that he isn’t working for AAANIMUS girl I get it. Go be Batman. This was Ajit’s season it was Magnus’ turn to be the weird 3rd party. I think he should have been a bit more involved with the team but whatever.

I do think at this point he should have joined the team too. Having him figure it out for a bit is good but the natural progression of his character leads him to team up with Dan permanently. He learns individual strength, then he finally allows himself to rely on others. Step by step process.

TLDR I like S2 Magnus but his Batman arc didn’t have to last an entire season.

S3: Hi Geogan Rising. In the great words of Jeffrey Ridgway Sr. ; what the hell was even that. I think they just sent Magnus to Vestroia so they didn’t have to deal with him. When there could have been a cool moment of him finding Dan in Vestroia like they advertised?? Then just adding him in to fight Dan at the end was sooooo cheap like…I get Magnus is necessary for the plot but this was not the 3D chess move both Magnus and the creators thought it was. Why make Magnus involved with the world ending plot and not on the Brawlers side at all??

They just tossed him around like a sack of potato’s and it showed. I believe they never knew what to do with Magnus after S1 but it’s so evident with this season. Even then S2 was still a good move in the right direction they just never finished the job.

I also hate the de-aging plot because the whole point of Magnus’ arc is that despite him not being the correct age his bond with Nillious is strong enough they can communicate anyway!!! I ignore it every chance I get. Magnus is a year or two older than the main cast and that’s ok!!!

S4: ok I say this as a Bakugan Evolutions liker. WEIRD MOVE BUT OK. Hello and welcome to Fire Emblem 3 Houses Bakugan addition. The Mr. Magnus thing kills me. Bro his name is Magnus Black. Yes I’m still on about this. I actually really liked his role in this. Being with the Brawlers and directly helping them but still doing his own thing? It’s almost like Armored Alliance again accept he’s around more. His dynamic with Dan was really cute this season.

Dan defending him like no tomorrow even though Athena speculating he was a bad guy wasn’t even a horrible idea was genuinely the funniest thing ever. GIRL I GET IT YOU LIKE THAT BOYYYY.

Do I think he should have joined the Brawlers here? Yes. Do I think it’s weird Athena joins before he does? Especially. I wasn’t even sure if she counted as one of the Brawlers till they brought her back in S5. I really thought she was another Aay or Kurin.

TLDR I like Magnus in this season but what they do with his character is still nonsensical. Him being a teacher??? Bro is like 14. Why do you both want him in the story and not at the same time. It’s so weird!

S5: Y’know I never thought they’d do it. At a certain point I thought Magnus would be Tuxedo Mask forever. By that I mean never to join the party always beside it.

Bad analogy aside they did it! For 80% of S5 Magnus was a Brawler and it….was pretty good. I think they should have actually portrayed his bonding with the group rather than it happening off screen with Dan not around because I still cannot name what dynamic he has with any Brawler on that team other than Ajit and Dan. Maybe Lia and Athena but that’s if I extrapolate on minor interactions.

But seeing Nillious and Drago fuse was the highlight of the series tbh. IM STILL TRYING TO GET MYSELF THAT BAKUGAN! I couldn’t find it anywhere in stores when I watched the show.

S5 was about a 3/4ths baked version of what Magnus’ series long arc lead up to. If only they’d really sealed the deal and let him be vulnerable. Him working with the others as a team was a pretty good compromise though.

Overall??? He should have spent more time with Emily. Y’know, the reason he was a villain in the first place was cause he wanted to save her. I love that emo boy he’s so funny. He’s peak edgy and it’s very endearing to me. My baby son boy!! I wish you and your gay ass boyfriend the best I’m so serious!!!

Magnus is one of the few characters in this show that suits OG Bakugan to me. That’s a post for another day.

I know the internet is full of hyperbole but I can honestly say that[to me] every Superman production has missed the mark on the Clark/Superman difference until now. I can confidently say that because it’s irked me for years.

This might be the first production to actually really get into the weeds with some simple changes, use lighting, costuming, hair&makeup (peep the contour!)to convey that Clark and Supes look nothing alike. This is so cool to me!!!!! They finally did it.

Shout out to the departments. Shout out to whoever realized they needed way bigger (longer)eyeglass frames with a thick bridge that would alter the appearance of his nose making him unclockable. Whoever you are, I love this work. I love how the base of the cape on the shoulders and the collar work together. It gets the job done but also looks like it was comfortable to wear during hours of shooting. I love that supes has a bit of contouring in the makeup differing from Clark. Shout out to whoever decided to make Clark’s suits oversized and flimsy! It accurately demonstrates Clark’s attempt to look like a little fish in a big pond. He’s not just like that; everything is a choice with him.

Shout out to Peter King and Lindsay McCallister on the hair design/hair story. They did their big one. Clark’s hair is such a big change(so fluffy and undressed!) and accurately shows how someone would manipulate their curly hair to change their appearance. Superman’s hair really works. Honey, that hair is dressed! It is reminiscent enough to please fans but different enough to feel fresh. I like that it’s rounded on top instead of square.

Also I’ve never seen this actor before in my life but he is embodying my man in the trailer so that is also exciting. I don’t even care if the movie is good. I’m a bit over hero movies but I love me some Supes. Everyone seems to really be invested in the visuals of this project. The commitment to color is commendable after years of dark grey low lit mess. Anyway…

I love new faces. I love movies! I love departments! I love unions! I hate David Zaslav!

just thought about stepdad bakugo being caught off guard the first time your teenage son calls him “dad” 🥺

it’s after years of being with you. their relationship isn’t bad by any means—it’s okay; it’s good. but your son has called him katsuki for the longest time, and he was happy with that, perfectly content even (at least, he thought he was).

it was enough that your boy dubbed his cooking “the best in the entire universe and beyond”; it was enough that your boy trusted him enough with a few harmless secrets that you may never know. it was enough that you’d both welcomed him into your home, into your lives, in a way that’s made him feel like he belongs.

it was enough (at least, he thought it was), until your kid comes home with a group of friends one day and they ask him, “who’s the guy in your backyard?”

between the scrapes of soil against his gardening shovel and mild hearing problems, katsuki shouldn’t have been able to hear anything—but he hears this loud and clear.

your kid tells his friends, “oh, that’s just my dad,” like it’s the most obvious, natural thing in the world and it hits katsuki square in the chest.

the next thing he knows, he’s smiling, eyes a little wet but not yet crying (—is what he’ll tell you later). it’s a small curve of his lips, but it stays plastered on until the moment you come home.

you wonder, when the three of you are cleaning up after dinner, “what’s got you all smiley today?”

he looks at you, back a little straighter and chest puffed out just a bit more. then, he glances at your son just an earshot away, wiping the table clean; he turns to you, mumbling, “tell ya ‘bout it later.”

(like he’s got all the pride in the world, like he’s got all the love in the world).
