User blog:Boy-Yo/Adorabat Is Making Me Feel A Bit... Concerned...

I’m starting to worry a bit about the characterization of Adorabat. I know we are only two episodes in, and all we have other than those are a few clips, but I’m getting this eerie notion that she is not being written in the best way.

So far, we’ve seen Adorabat get excited about some pretty dangerous things. She sees clouds shaped like monsters. She was more than okay with trying to get her wing cut off just so she could get a robot arm. She made a big lie in order to try and make sure Mao Mao doesn’t get into early retirement, which nearly got them in trouble. And while I realize that some of that is more for comedic effect, I am just getting the feeling that her wide-eyed, innocent excitement and admiration is looking more like reckless, selfish, obsessive stalker derangement. In fact, she is beginning to honestly remind me of Buddy/Incrediboy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcKYxwoJfSs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yuntW8rz5A

And if you haven’t seen The Incredibles, this is what Buddy turns into later in the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqMCYdqaFCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzzlgxTvCIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVrLCTOTT6o

While you may say it’s not exactly like that, I just feel like if Mao Mao decides to say no to a request a few times too many, Adorabat is going to snap at some point and go the opposite direction of where Mao Mao wishes to go. She just feels like something is not right with her, and I hope the writers can find a better balance for her so that it doesn’t come across that way that often.

But that is just my concern. What do you guys think?
