It was weird to get into 2008's 90210 reboot. She plays a wealthy widowed grandmom who brings the focal characters to Beverly Hills to live in her lvaish estate, and to find out that she's actually a good person and not a manipulative psycho almost felt like a legitimate shock-twist so soon after Arrested Development. (Because this is 90210, every psycho is under 30.)

2021 sucks so far imho

Before you say that, remember that Rush Limbaugh is dead and Betty White is 99. This is just one of the few times 2021 gets it wrong.

I read somewhere that he's in, but they're not revealing who he is for now.

Maddie Ziegler spent the entire Chandelier video doing Edward style nonsense to the point where it once seemed like a no-brainer, but I suppose that lovely movie was one step too far.

Besides, the character is so genderfluid and neurodivergent that it's kind of difficult to pull off today without being extremely careful, so I'm not surprised they're an Unseen Ally. Maybe we'll actually see them somewhere near the end.

I really think Netflix may pull Cowboy Bebop off.

I really have a problem with how much someone in this production loves Tarantino. He may wish to file a restraining order soon.

Other than that, I actually think execution from this is probably fine but doing something like this to an anime is inherently weird because anime cosplay has long existed and has long been seen as kind of, for lack of a better term, ungraceful. I dunno, even though nerds at Comic-Con dress as Superman and Darth Vader, doing a whole show about a guy in Mandalorian armor or a live action Superman seems less weird than doing the same twist to the ol' Japanimation.

It's like society has always seen trying to dress like a comic book or sci-fi movie villain as acceptable in certain contexts, but trying to mimic the look of a cartoon character has always been sort of weird unless you work at Disneyland, and this production forces you to compare actual acting talents to various Instagrammers you have seen over the years.

Also props to whoever put the 80s Nintendo Power magazine logo on the marquee of the old timey western corral computer store.
