Okay, whatever, S3 is garbage, no one is forcing me to rewatch it. But the people working on the show loooove to reiterate how much they love the factthat Kasef was punched so many times. This is the part that pisses me off the most.

Really missed that "dehumanizing a traumatized teen of color" aspect of the show π
Kasef was only 19. He was lied to, manipulated, turned into a monster (but somehow only him), punched a million times and killed.

CW Very TDP critical! Seriously, if you don't like negativity, do not read this! I need to vent, but bsky doesn't hide text posts.
TDPO are now on bluesky and they're bringing back the "Kasef waa punched so many times because his face is very punchable lmao" discourse.

And of course, his whole thing with Callum is there because, as the main villain, he has to be in conflict with the main hero somehow. Even though it's shallow and has no emotional significance.

Her words are never elaborated upon or challenged.
All we know about him has been infodumped to us via Zubeia or Aaravos himself.

3. Heavy reliance on telling vs showing and infodumping while still managing to not give the viewer any info.
We know Aaravos is bad because an ally of the heroes says he's behind most bad things that have ever happened in Xadia, without specifying what those are.

Oh, this is directly tied to one of my core issues with the show, the core issues being:
1. Centrist and hero-centric morality and defending of the status quo
2. Characterization being sacrificed for the plot

"I hope they don't ruin Soren now that he's hanging out with the protags"
Mmm yeah, no, I'm not a fan of arc 2 Soren ._.

Found some strong TDP opinions from June 20, 2020.
Some are #tdpcritical but not all. Some didn't age well. I'll mark the ones I still agree with with a β

Soren should have been the main hero of the show π
Heβs lost both his dad and sis to aaravos manipulations! And who else can βsaveβ Claudia from aaravos now, but him? (Sorry, I donβt think itβll be terry)
Sorenβs emotional stakes against aaravos are real!
