i would have wanted him revealed differently and to see a bromance between celebrimbor and annatar but it wasn't even that bad but everyone is acting like halbrand as sauron is the worst thing ever
i lowkey think its because a lot of ppl wanted the halbrand x galadriel romance (and look i find celeborn boring and i'd like to think i'm pretty tolerant of lore changes but a sauron and galadriel pairing is a bit much even for me 😭) i was just excited to see it like halbrand appears as a random guy arrogant and charming and clever and then galadriel trusts him but it all becomes clear to her
and the amazing irony that she brought back the enemy to middle earth....but i admit it was also rushed but the way it was so quick made it more intense (and i also wanted long beautiful blonde hair annatar but thats fine)

again saying that beard knowing about rebecca's actions would've caused delicious tension in season two. ted forgave her immediately, but i know damnnnnn well beard would not. not even just for ted's sake, even though that's a huge portion of it, but also....for the team??? beard loves the team, of course he does. he's the coach who claims being competitive and wanting to win, but he never wants it at the expense of the team. also again. "those were kids and are professionals and winning does matter to them, and it matters to me...and that's okay! how do you not get it? losing has repercussions. we lose, we get relegated. we get relegated, this is over and we will have built nothing." like that SPEECHHHHH. he cares about the team on a professional level, and he wants them to succeed. if he knew they were being deliberately sabotaged.......oh man. like i wish beard knew within canon (because trust me. we'd be able to tell if beard knew) because the tensions,,,, THE TENSIONS. beard not trusting her, ted trying to get him to come around,,,, you know??? two of ted's important people not on even grounds....

I'm setting my expectations low because I'm still not ready to believe after years of queerbaiting(as in other media queerbaiting) but

Yugioh GX season 1 is so funny when you watch with the knowledge that the protag has a secondhand bodycount that only the principal knows about.
The kid with a secondhand bodycount is applying to your school? Sure, but he only gets in if he makes the grade - but oh no, his train is late and your elitist teacher is trying to reject him before he even gets a chance? Well, maybe you can grease the wheels a bit.
Your elitist teacher is openly cackling about the matched he rigged to get the kid with a secondhand bodycount expelled? Do nothing, say nothing. Make a snippy comment when the kid with a secondhand bodycount wins anyway.
Need some top-tier duelists to protect the keys to unleashing the god cards lite? Okay, maybe the kid with a secondhand bodycount does make sense here. Or it could still be a terrible idea.
...

...You know what? Originally I left it here for the joke but actually no, I'm gonna pull out my tinfoil hat and talk about the other kid at DA with a dueling bodycount. No, not Hell Kaiser. Not the abandoned dorm stuff. Not any of the kids who hold seances to summon duel spirits for a winter horror episode or anything. I mean:
Motegi, AKA Belowski. The season 1 opponent who's introduced for a one-off episode and then left to cameo a couple times in the rest of the series, mostly in crowd shots. He's at DA as late as the series finale, at which point he's been a student for six years (Judai's first year is his fourth). And he might be there even longer! I'm not even sure he's even allowed to graduate, as opposed to being indefinitely contained at Duel Academia.
If Judai still had Yubel around when he started at Duel Academia, and they were found to be causing problems...would Judai be isolated the same way Motegi does? It's not like DA has the resources to actually handle their spirit problems, and yet the resources it does have make it a better place than most to keep them in the meantime.
GX has a lot of weird one-off episodes whose implications are never fully explored but the Motegi episode stuck with me, so much that I wrote a whole fic as a baby GX fan trying to imagine what his deal was. Now in the year 2k23 I'm looking at this and wondering what his situation could have suggested for Judai's fate if his spirit/dueling bodycount problem hadn't taken a couple more years to rear its head...

Anyone else though feeling like maybe that reunion came a little too soon?
I wanted to see our characters claw their way back to each other, I wanted to see them fight tooth and nail and come so close only to miss each other before finally finding each other and never letting go.
This almost feels too easy. I want to enjoy it, but I worry that Omega is going to be ripped away again.
