Hmmmmm, teen girls suddenly developing the power of electricity? 👀
Teen girls and women possibly running the world like Beyonce said……👁️🗨️👁️🗨️😁👏🏽👏🏽
This is The Power on Amazon Prime.
The first 4 episodes were very intriguing. If y'all know me, I will eat up a sci-fi/fantasy show, and a “suddenly the world is different” trope. If you throw in women finding their power and evening the playing field while refusing to be held down any longer AND non-cliché black characters that aren’t just for comedic relief or to check a box I am in it till the end.
Let’s see what the rest of these episodes look like.
Also Amazon you gotta do better with promo. The limited ads I saw looked boring as hell and didn’t hear much chatter on the other social medias. It’s like they wanted it to fail. Smh.
trying to make me have sympathy for jessica thats not going to be happening. i enjoy when complex characters exist but also she’s awful and i hate her completely
Daemon Targaryen spent three years slowly losing a war, but the moment he learns his brother is sending help he speedruns the whole thing and wins within an hour of getting the message, just so he can stick it to Viserys.
Rhaenyra spotting the white stag and sparing its life; Viserys killing a false stag to fulfill the expectations of his lords.
Rhaenyra stabbing the boar to death with the ferocity of a dragon ; Viserys struggling to kill a stag with the support of an entire posse.
Rhaenyra proving herself a Queen worthy of the Seven Kingdoms and being utterly ignored ; Viserys being lauded and praised despite being an utter embarrassment.
Ok so Haumea, a dwarf planet beyond Pluto, spins so fast it gets elongated like this. This is just what it looks like. Something deeply unsettles me looking at it. Terrifying.
Y’all I have Things To Say about that Nynaeve scene in ep 4. Because I realised something today:
She doesn’t just heal with that burst of power.
She actually UNDOES the initial harm.
She doesn’t just sew up a tear. She makes it so that the tear never happened.
Go back and look at that scene after she’s done. There is no blood anywhere. The giant pool beside Lan is gone. And there’s none on his face/skin where it should have spattered/stained.
There is also no scarring to any of the wounds - like we see with Moiraine’s trolloc stab. That was healed by a powerful, well-practiced sister, and it still leaves a mark. As most grievous wounds do. But on Lan there’s nothing at all. Not a mark. It’s like it never happened.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
We also see THE TEAR IN LIANDRIN’S CLOTHING CLOSE. There’s a shot that heals her wound in the initial burst, along with Moiraine. But in the shot right before she gets up to Gentle Logain, it looks like it’s the same thing happening? but it’s actually closing the tear in her shirt.
Nynaeve doesn’t just rage-heal what Logain did. Nynaeve rage-resets that entire fucking turn of the wheel to make it so that no-one was ever hurt at all.
