The adult rejects animu and mango, embraces Marxism-Leninism and the Chinese century.

The infantile does the opposite.

Anon, you are man now. You must choose the adult or the infantile path. One will lead you to happiness and will earn you respect. The other, well… Let's just say you'll get the "special treatment' you deserve.

Take your meds and touch it

The Sopranos finale is the only one of those shows that isn't a total cop-out because the writers liked the character too much so tried to give them a totally unearned catharsis. Mad Men and Breaking Bad have incredibly cowardly finales. The problem with the "ermm you missed the point by idolising them" meme is that in almost all those cases it's undeniable from the way in which the scenes are famed that you ARE intended to like them. I mean, you don't end a show with this ←- shot if you want people to hate the character.

The usual defense of course is "oh it's just realism because in real life such people often get away with such things" (with optional accusations of supporting the "Hayes" Code because nobody on here can spell "Hays Code" correctly), as if that's what people are objecting to, as if mise en scene doesn't exist, as if all the metatextual framing choices don't make it clear that the protagonist is still intended to be liked. So, really, no, I don't think anyone "missed to point by idolising" Walter White, Don Draper, or BoJack Horseman. I think people are just too uncomfortable to admit how much the show kinda DOES want you to like them.

The Sopranos really is the only exception. David Chase pulls no punches with Tony Soprano in the finale and it's why it's the only time the ending works because it completely avoids any catharsis for a character who does not deserve it.

some people are really argumentative. like they want to find a disagreement where there is none. like even when you agree with them they like move the goalposts somewhere else and then say, no, you still don't get it, it's actually more nuanced. and then you agree again and they say no, you still don't get it and move the thing further away again. it's like they want to dominate you through the pretense of a discussion while pretending to be smarter than you. it's very stupid and annoying. I think like most imageboard conversations are like this. Especially on here tbh. Is it LLM wreckers or are people just actually like this?

this isnt important and doesnt bother me much, but it is kinda weird especially since the sharty has one and leftypol has existed longer than them.
