@@nicksstaffsohecanjab7099 the problem is that he complained about being oversexualised and said that he's not more than just a sexy and sexual being. Then they went back to focusing on that being his whole storyline.
I agree about the Paxton episode!! People said it gave him depth, but that depth was about about as deep as a puddle. I still don’t understand why I’m supposed to root for him and Devi other than her physical attraction toward him. I mean, Ben, regardless of if people like him, PUT IN THAT WORK!! That’s undeniable. He was going to fly to India for her, drove her to help dump her father’s ashes, let her stay at his house, cared abt their relationship. Like…Paxton didn’t do that, and he repeatedly uses or acts indifferent toward Devi. He’s right, their relationship just WOULD NOT work
I get where you are coming from. And you also made good points which I agree with, but let's agree to disagree on others. Because your perspective is also very onesided (at least in this comment) and leaves out quite a bit of context. Look, this show isn't Shakespeare, but your view negates a little that the character dynamic etc. is a bit more complex. _"it gave him depth, but that depth was about about as deep as a puddle"_ That is pretty unkind and taunting (towards people that like the character). Although I agree that he isn't as deep as some may want him to be. But again, this show isn't deep shit level either (yet), don't know if they are even aiming for that. _"other than her physical attraction toward him"_ I can see that. Context is, they don't know each other yet. They just get to know each other over the first 2 seasons. I think some root for Paxton because despite his emotional constipation and lack of maturity in some regards (the age of the actor really is a bane to the character in this regard: no one buys that a 30 year old would act this immature) he has shown genuine interest in Devi and also was kind to her many, many times. Also she is being far from that at times. I mean, the equally if not more immature shit she pulled (with both Ben and Paxton)! That’s undeniable, too. _"I mean, Ben, regardless of if people like him, PUT IN THAT WORK!! That’s undeniable."_ True. He also started to show genuine interest in Devi independent of conscious and unconscious motives. _"He was going to fly to India for her,"_ Not to play that down, it's a valid point, but my addition to this fact is: because he can. That boy has the means. 💁♀️ But yeah, he genuinely wanted to commit to a relationship with Devi. But did *she* at that point? To Ben's comment that "what they have is real" she quizzically says "it is?". At that point she shared one kiss with him and didn't show any genuine romantic feelings for him. He was the B train, plan B. She just wanted a boyfriend for the sake of having a bf. Even her interest in Paxton was superficial at that point. I think there is also a point to be made that he is 'overcommitting'. And that is partly because of the fact that he feels abandoned by his parents, and therefore this is not entirely due to Devi herself. _"drove her to help dump her father’s ashes"_ Paxton would very likely have done that too, if he had been there. _"let her stay at his house"_ Again, B train, Devi is asking Ben because and after she doesn't think she could ask Paxton. Ben was the better option though, I don't think she was wrong about the situation. _"cared abt their relationship."_ I don't know how much he cared, but Paxton did care about their relationship too. If he wouldn't have cared, he wouldn't have tried to throw sand and say "as if you could hurt me" in S2E2 despite being "really, really hurt, bruh". To be fair this could all be on account of his ego. But there is also the comment he didn't finish in S2E3 "I thought we were...". I go out on a limb and say he was probably not about say "...not going to work". _"Like…Paxton didn’t do that"_ True, he didn't. And except the drive to the beach, which he totally would have done, I don't think he would have flown to India or let her stay at his parents house (although I would like to know now how they would have reacted to the explanation, I mean Ben's parents just didn't give a shit). _"he repeatedly uses Devi"_ He asked her to join a class project, because she is a good student once, yes. And I think you mean the grudge he held against her after Devi cheated on him and he lost his scholarship because he ran in front of a car because he was upset about being cheated on. By her. I don't negate that he used her for a bit there because he freaked out about his grades, but the two incidents - in context - count as *repeatedly* using her? What about Devi using him more than once? And Ben. _"or acts indifferent toward Devi"_ I don't know exactly what this refers to, to what situations I mean. If you mean at the beginning, which I don't think you do, but for arguments sake: not knowing that she exists is not being indifferent. They are not even in the same year/class. She is a sophomore, he is a junior. In the first season, in which they barely know each other, he established early on that they are merely friends. And then she used him behind his back to look cool in front of her friends. After they make up and they share one kiss, he grapples with the unwarranted shade Devi's mother dealt him, an adult. Accusing him of being a fuckboy. Seriously, she called him "Dr. Walking HPV Infection". What if he is a virgin? I know, maybe he is not. But maybe he is. And even if not. There were no serious indications given that his character is a man-whore. Distancing because of this wasn't necessarily cool, but he cared enough to be perceptive to what Rebecca told him, and he apologized, acknowledging this had only to do with Nalini, not Devi. Thank you for letting a character make baby steps in maturing. Same for every other character with flaws. * cough * Devi * cough * Ben * cough * After that he is not acting indifferent to her. Angry? Yes. A regular friend? Yes. Conflicted (just acting friendly in front of others/being with her) because of peer pressure? Yes. But indifferent? 🤔 _"He’s right, their relationship just WOULD NOT work"_ Although my expectation for the show is that she is not going to end up with either of them, but with a whole lot of shenanigans in between, I think I would say to your comment: Just let us wait and see what happens in S3. Either way it will be fun.
Chrissy Teigen was originally supposed to do the Paxton episode narration ( she's half white and half asian), but she canceled herself.....so...Gigi was a replacement
I'm Nigerian and my parents used to go up to my friends and literally ask them to say "Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Tugbiyele" and I'd want to melt into the floor 🥲 but now that I'm a bit older, I understand that I would want this kind of respect from my kids' friends too. Idk, just the way I was raised, I guess?
The way I’m constantly yelling about how old Paxton looks in every scene and me and him are the same age, pls set up a counter for every time you roast him lmfao
Jamaicans parents love and expect to be greeted too, my mom don't expect it at this point but she be so shocked when someone actually acknowledges her existence 😅
I kid yall not im over here trying to find something to watch while i eat these leftovers and my good sis came in clutch with the video thanks girll😂😂💞💞
It’s like this show isn’t cringey enough to hate but it’s also so cringey I have to look away for 5 minutes at a time after they do something a toddler wouldn’t yk. Also,, Maid the series, crossing my fingers you guys react to the first ep
Gigi hadid as the narrator really did not work for me either. That Paxton episode needed to do more but it’s fun that they’re trying new narrators for different povs.
oml PLS REACT TO YOUNG ROYALS ur commentary is so good we need it. i know ur sister already did one but id love ur reaction to it too, and her YR videos did well too (only 6 eps) and then u guys can react to season 2 together pls!!
aneesa not being gay is the biggest missed opportunity and plot hole in this show. like i dont buy it and we so needed it for the community (asian) so...........plus like she is so coded gay like come on. straights arent that dope
I did not invite white people to my house (not like in a I didn’t like white people). But like my parents are also Nigerian the pure embarrassment I couldn’t
haruman is a great song.........i dont know how you kids talk but this og kpopper (20+ years in the game aka writers age) so say "im a rain" all day everyday
Does it bother anyone else at how bad the titration Ben does at 1:02? Why is is he celebrating that his mixture is dark af when it's supposed to be barely light pink; it's killing the whole smart kid persona he has.
Uhm yes to the yara comment. Girl is stunning and I root for her. But i could not continue watching grownish after season 1/2. Like gurl couldn't carry a show. Like I feel like she's okay as like a supporting character. I feel like grownish could have thrived without her as a main character ala A different world sans Denise. Like Denise was fine on the Cosby show but she irked me in a different world so it really was for the best that she left. Yara gives very much Lisa Bonnet in that regard.
They really created an episode to say that Paxton is unnecessarily oversexualised, then they sexualised him 2 episodes later in that chair scene. 😑
POINTS WERE MADE
