The second half of that hot take is that just because the ending focuses on the wedding and Shane's future playing for Ottawa with a team and city that actually appreciate him doesn't mean that the bad stuff that happened has magically been resolved.

It's so random and vitriolic too. It will be a random post on Threads, and then allll the haters come in the comments. Or, more recently, a cute Instagram reel about Barry Allen being a yearner suddenly attracting all the Iris haters.

She has spent less than 10 minutes around Gekkomon before calling him "more evolved" than humans.

On the otherhand, it's not a good look that she managed to spend five minutes around him and not reach the conclusion that his default operating mode is:

You might remember that a while ago I predicted that the GLowing Dawn crew would have to make a choice of loyalty because the World Union was doing Bad Things™ to the digimon remanded to it.

Well, guess what??

What kind of Gilmore Girls, You Belong With Me kind of series this is?

Claire is a confident and capable woman and if she wanted Leon she would have done something about it by now. Leon doesn’t like plucky younger women. He likes aloof powerful types: shown by his actual interests over the series.

Maybe they don’t actually want white picket fences! Maybe that’s why they don’t have one?

When Leon gripes about what he wants in his life it’s usually Ada, breakfast, or vacation. He adopts blonde girls because he doesn’t want a fucking baby.

Claire is the head of an NGO who was having an ill-advised fling with a coworker. She spent more of her last two appearances in canon (Rev2 and DI) with women than she did with Leon. They had literally no romantic or sexual tension in Death Island.

I get the fantasy of identifying with Claire and wanting the hot boy to notice you instead of the spy who wears short shorts and grappling hooks. But, it’s fucking insulting to my friend Claire Redfield that you think she’d let anyone string her along like that.

“B-but Sherry! She said they could adopt her at the end of RE2 and they all walked off into the sunrise together!”

Sherry was 12 and had just lost her parents in some of the worst ways possible, including being tentacle raped by her own father. Maybe she was in need of a safer healthier relationship in that moment!

Furthermore, you can raise/mentor a child (at no point did these three live together in a domestic way btw) without having a romantic relationship. People can mean the world to you without you wanting to kiss them.
