Can we PLEASE talk about how dirty Adam was done in Mighty Ducks D3??? Guys 😭
so first of all- he made varsity, but because everyone else (mainly Charlie) was too teenage-angst-everything-sucks core, he didn’t even get a pat on the back or anything. Like it’s mad impressive that he made varsity, as a freshman, first day of school. But no one really congratulated him 😭
THEN- the whole prank wars thing they had going on, varsity vs. JV. The ducks did not regard him one bit and just let him get caught in the crossfire- even targeting him a little bit with the whole frozen-jackets thing. “He’s one of them now, isn’t he?” NOT REALLY GIRL-
in fact he was literally cheering them on for a while during their first game
And then it was made pretty clear he had little to nothing to do with the things varsity did to the ducks, and he even told Charlie straight up he had no idea they were planning that stunt at dinner until it was too late. (Charlie didn’t even care either bro he just called him a little preppy rich boy and let him skate away) (Charlie was rlly going through it in D3) (partially in the form of self sabotage but wtv)(oh and then he literally shoved Adam into the goal during that game so that’s silly)
AND THEN- after there was that whole “self realization” thing with Charlie and Bombay, where Bombay got all the ducks together to play street hockey- suddenly they’re all cool with Adam again?? Like he’s casually playing with them- not even a cliché “head nod of understanding” moment between Adam and Charlie?? They just move on?? No apology even???
to make matters worse- when they’re at the council meeting and the ducks’ scholarships are up for discussion, the varsity team is fully willing to throw Adam out with the rest of them, even though they basically inducted him into their team for a few weeks? I mean I know they probably don’t have some deep brotherly connection with him or anything, but damn he was disregarded by both the ducks and varsity 😭 . Though there are a few times when they mention his worth and stuff- such as later after the council meeting when Charlie says “you had one of us: Banksie” but then Rick literally is like “meh he didn’t have spirit anyways it’s wtv” like hello??
then he just moves back to jv/the ducks at the end and everything is back to normal again and dean comes back and they win or smt so um happily ever after??? Ig?? Idk I still think he deserved some kind of apology.
anyways boo varsity (except scooter) and Adam deserved better fr, yap session over thanks for reading <3
