I gotta be honest, Jane is so beautiful that it distracts me from the plot. Like oh no, Mal looks stressed, I wonder--omg how are Jane's eyes that big and blue?
Aw, Carlos looks so nervous to ask out--shit her hair is so curly and dark and shiny.
Wait that's so cute! FG is happy for her daughter dating Carlos! That's--holy fucking shit she's so GORGEOUS WHAT.
There's crack in her beautiful eyes I swear
Anyway, it just always seemed hilarious to me that they gave Jane the "I'm not pretty enough" shtick because she's the actress/character who takes my breath away most often in the series. Classic teen movie makeover of an already beautiful girl.
Bonus adorable faces:
Anyway this has been a certified Women Are So Pretty post. See you next time on I've Taken Too Many Screenshots of These Movies.
Toritsuka not being in Saiki's class is so funny. Like yes we are introducing a new character. No he is not in a situation he would ever talk to the protagonist were they in a regular school setting. Yes you will see him every episode.

One of my hottest takes is that I think the mystery and more specifically the transition from a casual mystery show to a more thrilling and serious one was done much better in Detentionaire compared to Mystery Incorporated
Descendants 1 was filmed with $3 and a dream
How do you explain to people that one of your current favourite ongoing manga is a shounen about fighting off interdimensional invaders and it's fully just committed itself to a tactical computer game e-sports arc for the last 3 years? And that it's still just as good?!?!
he's giving his input
dont worry guys, he's Canadian
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
You know, I've seen plenty of comments about "Descendants should have been a young adult TV series!" and... I dunno how I feel about that.
Are there concepts that could use exploring much better geared towards an older audience? Sure.
But would it be the same without silly costumes, brightly-colored hair, stupid (affectionate) songs and teenage drama? All of which I doubt would be allowed in a grimdark teenage action/fantasy series like a bunch of us keep wanting? I doubt that.
I think it being a DCOM is a genuine part of its charm, and if it had become something like Shadowhunters, Once Upon a Time or Fate or even just something that would run on Freeform, all the fun would have been drained out of it.
