So, guess whos back to talking about Captain Fall again
Though nothing too long, I just wanted to point out (cornplate) how Johnathans parents treat him normally Vs after finding out he got offered to become a captain
Johnathan comes home from being both at work and his classes all day, and the plate his parents give him for dinner after basically keeping him away from the party going down in their actual house is: Two pieces of asparagus, two slices of meat and a singular shrimp. Its noted how much weaker and lankier he is compared to everyone else in the show, especially for being canonically 29 years old, leading me to think he's consistently underfed.
Alongside this, after his ladder is taken away so he wouldn't come down to the party, his father forgets to put it back up in the morning. Johnathan, however, is already prepared for it, tying a bunch of the same colored sheets together to climb down with practiced ease. It's all the same color which makes me think this wasn't a rushed job, but potentially his emergency makeshift rope after being forgotten in his treehouse numerous times.
Comparing that to the morning his mother finds out he got an invite from the Caribbean queen to become a captain. His ladder is in place, and he gets a personal wake up from them before being told to actually come inside for breakfast.
He gets what looks like 5-6 pancakes, two sausages, scrambled eggs and some orange juice (what should've been the standard for him but shhh) and the most confusing morning of his life with his parents playing nice with him. I keep saying "season 2 could've given us (insert thing)" a lot, but this beginning episode, and "family reunion" especially exploring his relationship dynamic with his family were very interesting to me, and I wish we could've gotten more time for Johnathan to really start figuring out (or through my interpretation, be less non-confrontational) to his famliys treatment of him.
