And all the people complaining about Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen are gonna have their heads spinning at Puerto Rican Odysseus, Polites wearing glasses, Black Eurylochus, Black Antinous, Black Ares, British Circe, and British Hermes.

And all the people complaining about Robert Pattinson Antinous saying "You're pining for a daddy you didn't even know, like some sniveling bastard" are gonna have to deal with the What Saga and Holy Moly.

1) She wasn’t superpowered on Argo. She was exactly the same as she was on any other red sun planet except sicker. Unlike Clark, she didn’t grow up super. This is what her body normally feels like to her. Being super on Earth is new and unnatural to her.

2) She’s in a state of mental anguish, disassociation, and grief and is self-medicating through that with her dog and alcohol and guess what? Alcohol doesn’t work on Earth or any other yellow sun system.

3) The point of the movie is that you have to choose to be good and kind, and that it’s hard, and that also being good and kind does not look the same for everyone. For Kara, making that choice also meant choosing to become sober in the face of her depression and alocholism, which is extremely difficult for any alcoholic. She needed something beyond Ruthye’s plea to force her into action, and that was putting her best friend and emotional support animal’s life in jeopardy. Nothing else was enough to motivate her.

4) Relapsing is extremely common and expected. The dual sun planet mimicked the way that you can start feeling better on your antidepressants and then get hit out of nowhere with another wave of it. It’s awful. But guess what? There’s still hope if you wait it out.

5) The fights in the movie progressed from seeking to self-harm (she enjoyed the physical novelty of being hurt on Ruthye’s planet when she fought the thief) to preventing hurt (to Ruthye’s childhood and psyche and the girls who would have been trafficked had she not ended the bandit ring), which is also a journey of acceptance of her new powers. She goes from resenting having them because they are inextricably related to the death of her family and people, to accepting that she has the power to do real good and prevent other people hurting the way she is.

Called Azula "sick" after she told him their grandfather passed away

Said "girls are crazy!" while throwing his hands up and storming off after he fall in the fountain with Mai because of the prank Azula set up

Screamed at her "I'm not going to play with you!" in a confrontational pose

Literally jumped over a cliff to fight Azula right after she declared "I'm about to celebrate being an only child!"

Tried to stab her with fire daggers after she lied to him (in The Avatar State)

Brust into her bedroom at night when she was asleep, yelled at her then left the room leaving the door open (this alone deserve a murder attempt tbh)

Chased her in The Chase to fight her

Nods when Iroh said "she's crazy and she needs to go down"

Said "No! I'm tired of running! It's time I faced Azula!" Then tried to take her head-on while she has dozen of Dai Li surrounding her

Said "Me, too." in determination after Suki said "This is a rematch I've been waiting for." on fighting Azula again

"Katara, how would you like to help me put Azula in her place?"

Takes advantage of her deteriorated state to win in the Last Agni Kai "I can take her this time." / "But even you admitted to your uncle that you would need help facing Azula." / "There's something off about her; I can't explain it but she's slipping. And this way, no one else has to get hurt."

Taunts her about her not using lightning because he can redirect it

Smiled when Iroh told him "I will teach you a firebending move that even Azula doesn't know, because I made it up myself."

Made "Azula always lies" line and repeat it over and over again

Lied to her about Aang possible survival after she asked him a direct question

Expressed bitterness and jealousy of her to unconscious Aang

Bitterly told her "I guess you wouldn’t understand, would you Azula? Because you’re just so perfect."

Never said anything when Azula confessed her feelings in the campfire

Challenged her to put an apple on her head that he would throw his knife at after Azula told him "You waste all your time playing with knives. You're not even good!"

Demanded her to give his possession (knife) back and grabbed it from her

Emotionally isolating her
