Minority Mindset

To update the gameplay for the new Switch 2, some of the older ideas and systems in Ocarina of Time will need to be redesigned. This will likely affect the story and characters. Navi, Link’s fairy companion, is the character most closely tied to both the story and how the game is played, so she’s likely to see the biggest changes.

Okay, so exciting news about the Ava reboot! Jessica Duncan had this amazing idea for Who’s Making Dinner? and honestly, I loved it. Now she just needs Deborah’s okay. Usually, getting Deborah on board would be the hard part, but because it’s the last season and everyone’s being so nice, Deborah gave her blessing right away! The only catch? Frank left the rights to the show to Kathy. That’s a bit of a snag, but hopefully, they can work it out!

Here’s my take: anger can be a great engine for comedy, but it absolutely can’t become the whole show. And that’s exactly what’s happening with Deborah. Her new stuff, where she’s positioning herself as the ultimate victim, just isn’t connecting. She keeps saying comedy is supposed to be uncomfortable, and while that’s true to a point, Ava rightfully points out that, shockingly, people are also supposed to laugh.

I was really captivated by the first event – Myka giving an etiquette lesson! It was such a clever little detail she shared: always hold your drink or whatever you have in your left hand so your right is free for a handshake. It’s not something you immediately think of, but it makes perfect sense. Seeing Mark and Missé in the front row was interesting, especially considering their rollercoaster of a relationship throughout the season. Missé gently pressed Mark about what was going on with him and Margo, and he was hesitant to talk, wanting to keep the day positive for everyone. But eventually, he opened up and shared a really vulnerable part of his past. He described being the only openly gay student at a large all-boys school, and how terribly he was treated. He explained that he finally felt safe and himself when he graduated and found his community, but he’s always worried about letting his guard down, fearing someone like Margo could hurt him again. More than anything, he seemed embarrassed that he’d allowed himself to feel so much and that he was still affected by it all.

Taylor Swift has written songs for films before, so it’s possible she’ll write one for Disney too. She’s already penned songs like “Today Was a Fairytale,” “Crazier,” “Sweeter than Fiction,” “Macavity,” “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” and “Carolina” for movies and TV—she even wrote “You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home” for Hannah Montana. Perhaps the characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear will inspire her next song.
