The fact that Loid Forger doesn’t have a PTA mom enemy for him to have a passive aggressive cook off with is cruelty to me specially.

Thinking about the parallels between Alastor and Lucifer

Lucifer is a total goober who basically wears his heart on his sleeve. The best mask he can muster up is awkwardly trying to interact with Charlie's friends after being isolated for so long.

He has no need to put on an intimidating facade bc he is so ridiculously powerful he doesn't need to fear anything. What scares him is the loss of the relationship with his family, bc that is something that has nothing to do with his power or rank. It's something he has to repair on his own. His wife and daughter are what he holds dear, so he doesn't care about his reputation being good or bad in the end, at least in terms of being Hell's ruler.

He comes off as fumbling and cute which is why when he finally unleashes his power it is so shocking

Meanwhile Alastor

He is someone who quite literally never stops wearing a smile no matter what situation he is in

He wants everyone to know he is someone to fear, someone to never mess with, someone who is always in control of whatever situation he is in. He is always elegant, precise, and composed- when he's not going on some kind of demonic rampage ofc

He puts this intimidating mask on bc he is actually very aware of how weak he is despite his power as an Overlord. He has something to fear. He has an image he needs to project onto others so no one thinks they can mess with him. He LOVES showing off how badass and powerful he is

He comes off as an insanely overpowered, incredibly intelligent being who can never be bested.

-When really he is actually arrogant to the point of nearly causing his own death (bc he wanted to show off his power to Adam without the help of an angelic weapon), insecure whenever he isn't the strongest being in the room, incredibly tempermental when anyone tries to belittle him, and overall barely keeping it together at his worst.

Both characters are very fascinating to compare after their rivalry in Dad Beat Dad bc of their relationships with Charlie.

Alastor and Charlie are far from friends, with Alastor being quite blunt in his flippant intentions with helping her in the first place- and yet she finds him reliable and a good mentor in his own way? He sets out to do what he promised which is helping her with maintaining her hotel and guiding her spiritually throughout the process. He doesn't believe in redemption, but if Charlie wants to try a method out he will not sabotage her and legitimately sees it through. He will give her good advice and connections so she can accomplish her goals, especially during the finale episodes.

Meanwhile her own dad, due to his own mental health reasons, has not been there for her for this whole endeavor. He can't talk to her easily, doesn't help her in the way she asked, doesn't believe in her, and does nothing but talk down on her dreams, saying they aren't worth the effort bc of his own attempts in the past at the same thing. But despite all this, unlike Alastor, his immense love and affection for her are limitless and true. He legitimately wants to be there for her, but isn't. Not until the end of the episode where he still doesn't exactly believe in her dreams of redemption, but he sits back and helps her in any way he can- like Alastor has been doing

Both seem to have something the other envies

Alastor wants to be untouchable and all powerful like Lucifer

While Lucifer very obviously wants to reclaim the fatherly position in Charlie's life away from Alastor

By the end of the finale he definitely has lol, but Alastor is still stuck in turmoil over this mysterious deal that is restricting him in some way

Ultraman: Rising ━ Identity

ੈ✩‧₊˚ Just feeling sad and crying over the fact that this movie goes into identity and how I was able to understand Ken's character.

"Where's the Japanese version of this guy?"

I remember my sister asking me what this meant, and all I could do was let out a little sigh. I also remembered how Kenji got asked how he would adjust to "Japanese Baseball," with Ken responding with "Baseball is baseball, man." which could have a deeper meaning (I'll explain later) or the little montage when we see Kenji just being so tired and screwing up at Baseball and a fan yelling, "Go back to America." Or how the announcer commented on Kenji saying that "Japanese baseball was just too much for Ken." For/In Japan, he isn't Japanese, but American, all because he spent more than half his life in America, ignoring the fact that he was born (and raised until 6) in Japan.

However, in an interview with Ami, Ken mentioned how he was made fun of for how he looked, talked, and for what he ate. Signaling how he was racially discriminated in America, and all he could do was "give them something else to talk about," which was his success. They wouldn't talk about his looks, nor how he spoke, or what he ate or came from. Instead, they would talk about how great of a Baseball athlete he is, they wouldn't see him as Japanese or American, but as a Baseball Player; Ken Sato.

But not only does this film go into racial identity but also self-discovery/self-identity. Ken tries to balance his life out by trying to mix both his life as a Baseball player and Ultraman. And as we know, it doesn't go well in the beginning. Having built a persona around Ken Sato, the baseball player, and Ultraman (the one his father was) Ken is really struggling trying to find himself. We end up learning that Ken is a man who enjoys his career as a Baseball player, we also learn that, although successful, he had to try and reach that success like any other. We also learn that Kenji is still trapped in the past, a child with unsolved issues.

At the end of the film, Kenji is able to embrace his persona as Ultraman, adding it to his identity. Because at the end of the day, just like Ken said, "Baseball is baseball," and "ken is and will always just be ken."
