Also extra thanks to @kroltheprotocol for the idea lol
Me: "jesus christ the adult pro heroes fucking suck lol"
You: "um sweaty, this is a shounen manga of course the adults are useless-"
See, that's a perfectly valid meta answer. This genre is centered around the young male protagonist and his friends, of course they're going to be in the spotlight for the majority of the series.
But from an in-universe perspective, imagine watching a group of cops or soldiers stand around uselessly as a pair of teenagers fought a god. Whether he meant to or not, All Might's reign as Number 1 made every other hero complacent and useless in situations where their Quirks don't apply. None of them (except Aizawa) even carry any weapons to help in a fight.
I'm not dissing your fave pros because there's nothing they can do. I'm dissing the adult heroes because they knew full well they were going into a war, and none of them thought to bring a gun. I'm dissing them because they brought teenagers onto a battlefield and now have no choice but to hide behind them due to their own incompetence. They knew about the nomu and Gigantomachia and chose not to mobilise a military unit for this raid; this is entirely the fault of the HPSC, and every other pro who stood by and said nothing against the children getting involved.
This is a shounen manga. But there's a world within this manga, and the adults of this world fucked up big time.
Tf-
Yes is was Stolas-
You chose to leave her the SECOND you thought someone would harm your precious little imp. You didn't even bother thinking about how she would feel SEEING YOU IN THAT SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
The answer to that?
YES.
And before someone says he never did and actually loved her, this doesn't sound like someone who stayed miserable just for their kid to be happy.
(Before anyone says the last two images contradict my statement, him saying this is the equivalent of saying "Hey little Timmy the only reason I allowed myself to be abused and insulted for 17 years is so YOU can have a normal life so I'm let myself suffer solely because of YOU despite having every chance to leave but i chose not to because of YOU". Doesnt sound good does it?)
But this line here:
"It was never enough?" For her?
Does this look like someone who needed more out of an already shitty marriage?
She insulted and bitched about him to her friends, but it looks like the only thing that she needed to be happy was her parties, her equally spoiled friends, and to be pampered 24/7. All things she pretty much had.
It was STOLAS that was never happy and needed more.
Every scene they show him in from the past, he's always icing himself out from the crowd with a scowl on his face and halfway into a bottle of booze.
HE was the one that felt what he had was never enough.
HE was the one to decided to cheat on his wife, not even be private about said affair, and only owned up to it because the narrative demanded it.
And the fact that he just fucking up and decides to not even fight and earn Octavia' forgiveness back is just..
This is NOT someone who loves their child.
If he loved her like he said he did he wouldn't have given up right then; he would've agreed with Blitz when he said this:
All this finale did was confirm the fact that Stolas really didn't care for her in the end. He STILL chose to go home with the same guy that he left his daughter for, he gave up the second she hurt his feelings, and now we're supposed to feel bad for him because of the sad music in the background?
And before anyone says I'm wrong and he didn't choose Blitz over his kid via him going home with the guy, you forgot one tiny little character:
HIS FATHER.
PAIMON.
WHY HASN'T HE GONE TO HIM ABOUT STELLA TRYING TO KEEP OCTAVIA AWAY FROM HIM?
WOULD THIS NOT FUCK UP THE WHOLE HEIR THING FOR THE GOETIA LINE IF ANDRE'S FAMILY WERE TO GET SOLE CUSTODY OF OCTAVIA?
Once again the writing is garbage, the plot is bloated, and Stolas is babies by the narrative for facing the consequences of his actions.
Now he gets the reward of treating Blitz like he doesn't even care about him all throughout season 3 while getting babied even more by Vivziepop and her writing staff cronies
Oh yeah, and Millie's pregnant.
Of course it doesn't get explored any further.
Show rating: -9999/10 (only good part was Octavia' song)
I just thought about caseoh screaming kitty when I first saw him like this so. KITTYYYY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I just realised yet another little detail that symbolises so much in the story!
During Dos Orugitas, we see a young Alma Madrigal that seemed to be cheerful, playful and even a little clumsy. The braided hair, the frilly dress and the big smiles help create an image of her as a sweet, carefree young woman who was not afraid to just be herself.
Once the tragedy with Pedro happens and the miracle is born, Alma immediately takes shelter in casita and we see her alone, silently processing the events of the evening; looking extremely weary, lonely and traumatised. She looks down at her babies. Her Julieta, her Pepa and her Brunito, and her expression changes. She knows she needs to be strong for them. She’s resolute, but there’s a sadness in her eyes that says she knows what this means for her, too. She can never go back to the woman she used to be.
The next time we see Alma, she is putting on a black cloak and leaving the room. This room was the cocoon where she transformed into a new person, leaving her old self behind. She’s become different. Her smile doesn’t quite meet her eyes anymore. She looks tired, somber. Older, even.
There’s a shadow, a trauma she’s carrying that soon takes form in the perfectionism and control that eventually hurt her loved ones. This event shapes the way she deals with challenges from this moment on, and she is always in fear of the family losing their home once again.
She became harsh. Strict. Everything has to be perfect in order to protect and earn the miracle the love of her life granted their family with his noble sacrifice.
This is an incredibly strong woman who has been through hell and came out alive, for her family’s sake. This black cloak follows her from her young years to her old age, and becomes a constant throughout the movie. It represents the weight and the burden of the grief she silently carried ever since that moment, and will continue to carry for the rest of her life. It represents the change she had to go through, putting her emotions last in order to become the strong matriarch her kids and the village needed. It represents the loss of not only her beloved Pedro, but also of her innocence, her youth, her laughter and her smile.
From the moment young Alma Madrigal and her children were gifted a miracle, she became the one responsible for the whole village. She, as the only one blessed with the magic and the one whose gift repelled the enemies, was naturally placed in a position of power and leadership in the worst moment of her life.
It’s likely she was the one everyone immediately looked to for directions right after the miracle happened, and that she had to leave her feelings behind to help other lost and grieving people rebuild their lives and their homes, creating what the village of Encanto eventually became. She put everyone else first. She was extremely selfless.
Alma Madrigal is such a complex character. There are so many layers to her personality. This is why you guys can’t just write her off as a villain or as a horrible person/grandmother. It’s not so black and white.
My new favorite meme
You too, pookie! (Or whatever kids say this days)
