This panel is a pretty good encapsulation of how different they are. Vril really does not care about the consequences of his actions here, possibly because he feels like he's already done enough for Colu by freeing them, while Querl feels like he has the entire world on his shoulders. One could argue that it is his fault to some degree, but it wouldn't be hard to instead argue that Brainiac himself bears most of not all of the responsibility and that you can't blame one person for the direction of an entire society. But Querl does.

We already know that Vril doesn't care about the future so it makes sense that he doesn't care or even really get the problem. Yet he does try to cheer Querl up. He is in his soft dad era during this so that's probably part of the reason why, but he also just seems to like Querl. Perhaps it's easier to see him as a son-like figure than his own son, who's at this point not only a reminder of worse times but also lobotomised and probably utterly boring to Vril.

Stupid Thought that will not leave me alone:

Iono streaming and Larry appearing in the background (doing his gym leader thing) and chat spamming "A WILD DILF HAS APPEARED"

i think, at the end of the day, you have to respect the work you are adapting. a writer doesn't have to be a fan of the source material, or strictly follow the primary story, but you have to understand what made it good, what made it appealing, and what it meant to say.

i would say netflix's dungeon meshi rigorously follows the original manga, often panel for panel, to great effect. it's an excellent adaptation that understands the themes and character of the work. it celebrates it for what it is. conversely, i'd argue that amc's interview with the vampire is spectacular precisely because of the way it breaks from canon. it actively 'yes, and's the book, imo, thoughtfully exploring the themes on its own terms. changes are not inherently bad, nor is a perfect replica inherently good.

you can like a work, and not understand it. you can understand it and not be a fan. but if you can't respect it, you should just be writing original work.

"I Will knock You" Power Play Explained Episode 1 and 2

Luta! It's a high school kid! How sick of you to see a power play. Um, no. How ignorant of you not to see a power imbalance in any age gap romance involving a school. There is no equal balance in that dynamic. The oldest one holds control unless he is the submissive. Which is the case here. If you are cruising the "I Will Knock You" tag, it means you like the show. I think it's far more gross that you don't see Noey as Dom, but I still want to watch the show. You're more accepting of a young teenager being taken advantage by an adult than a D/s element where he holds control? Make that make sense.

Episode 1 and 2 just a bunch of bullying by Noey.

Now keep in mind, when we first start out. The first few episodes are more bully than power play. I enjoy that for multiple reasons. We see the evolution of it becoming a relationship that has an unequal power balance. We watch two baby kinks, figuring themselves out. I'm not a huge fan of age gap, but damned if I don't love these two, and it's because the youngest is a Dom.

We see Noey trying to give a lotas to Pam, to represent his heart. The whole situation becomes a horrible mess that ends with Thi stepping on said heart. Right off, we see Noey coming off as aggressive and poor Thi being unable to stand up to it.

Noey follows Thi to his apartment and is straight up abusive. From dropping him down some steps to forcing him to look for a lotus at night. Helping him drop into water, not helping him out of said water. This continues on until Thi gives him a charm in exchange.

The turning point is when Thi is asked over by Noey's mom, and they are talking about tutoring. When Thi leaves, he runs into Noey in which humorous misunderstandings take place. I mean, Thi little sub baby literally passes out because of seeing Noey! It's adorably cute but leads to Noey feeling like Thi really does love him and while he doesn't reciprocate (lies, I tell you! Lies!) He likes the pursuit and determination by Thi and this is where things really begin. He gives him one side of his ear bud to listen to music with and kisses his forehead. From this point on, we see the dynamic between Noey and Thi change. While Noey is still in control and in charge, he's softened his demeanor towards Thi.

Hope you guys enjoyed this first review. I look forward to writing more. Wishing you guys the best New Years! 💜💜💜
