48 is basically 50 so 27 + 50 =77 and 77 - 2 =75

ok what’s your florence + the machine song. mine is rabbit heart (raise it up)<3

*sighs*....them.

Love Gray but this and the ending in general pmo so bad. Also would like to add that “ACME” dropping in and doing the thing Carmen has dedicated years of her life to fighting in one full swoop doesnt get talked about enough…like can u imagine how she mustve felt about that? Nothing ab that ending was happy for Carmen. I mean, she has to sit with the realization that she spent 6 months as a living manifest of everything she hated, is forced to contend with the fact that she probably killed ppl, has to see her life goal fulfilled mostly by someone else, AND feels the need to leave her found family behind because she thinls thats the best thing she can do for them as she doesnt deserve to be arpund them. And then she runs off to Argentina like meeting her mom will magically fix all of these giant bleeding bullet wounds in her mental health and heart.

In spite of being supposedly “women-led” and centered around female empowerment, Carmen Sandiego’s most well written snd complex characters apart from Carmen herself are Chase Devineaux, Gray Calloway, and Shadowsan. Like that is absolutely ridiculous. Your show thats marketed for its brown female lead actually sidelines said lead to prop up 3 male characters, 2 of which are white? (This is not a diss btw - i enjoy all 3 of these characters and i am NOTTT saying white and/or male characters dont deserve to be written well. Just understand that one of this shows selling point was brown female lead soooo the mental gymnastics to ignore that and prop up characters who dont fit that well at all ks low key wild.

tfw a random side character takes down the big bad instead of the mc (mini carmen sandiego rant)

i love gray he is my favorite

never will shut up abt him

BUT i can never get over this show having him being the reason vile is exposed. HOW DO YOU EVEN WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THAT

the show is called carmen sandiego but not even the titular main character, who has devoted EVERYTHING we see of her in the show to taking down vile, takes it down. Not even her found family takes it down in her place, to show that the bonds forged with people outside of your controlling family can leave such an amazing impact. NOT EVEN ACME TAKES VILE DOWN. like i wouldve preferred maybe julia and chase going behind chief's back to use acme resources to do their own investigation, but still, to not even have the organization built on stopping vile get that moment is insane.

hell maybe even carmen's old classmates defecting slowly could be worth something thematically

yeah no lets have the guy who was literally

a) meant to be the narrative vehicle for carmen to info dump the backstory in the first episode and intended to be written out

b) was bonked in the head with amnesia and only made a brief reappearance in one ep is s1 and an ep in s2 and no speaking lines in "s3"

c) had a focus in the first half of s4 which ended with him picking vile in the end only to have another change of heart the moment he returns as an antag in the final two eps

be the guy responsible for leaking vile to acme. no high stake rescue mission or final heist or deep investigation. nope just some guy tattle tale-ing lol to bring down an entire criminal organization.

yay female empowerment (jk kinda this show is good at writing female characters as just normal characters but it does greatly rub me the wrong way that carmen get side-lined in the finale of her own show by gray and shadowsan and yet the show claims to be empowering. easily could just be a writing issue tho and nothing to do with gender)
