The Bear (FX on Hulu) TV Show • Page 26

she's just really pure and warmhearted. I think maybe it just seems tonally odd to some viewers (not me) to see someone like her in juxtaposition with all the tortured souls of the main cast.

 

yeah a lot of the criticism ive seen seems to be dinging her as a MPDG which seems off and weird to me

 

I really like her character, but said earlier they're tip-toeing in MPDG territory. I don't even think it's a character thing, moreso just the way she's photographed in some scenes, gauzy, backlit, and dreamlike. It's almost ridiculous how angelic she looks sometimes. I don't think this is a bad thing, and it adds to why Carmy would be taken out of his game.

 

i also think that's the same as the way they photograph everything hah

 

I think it's more that she's just impossible beautiful and people can't understand it

 

for sure

 

Nah, it was to the point that my girlfriend and I literally lol'd at the scene with her and Carmy in his kitchen. Again, I don't think this is a flaw or a critique, but it's pretty conspicuous in some scenes and probably used to show how he sees her.

I can't think of another character that they shoot like that, maybe the food haha.

 

It doesn't help that it's a bit far fetched how tight the community is on this show, like Carmy is like hey remember this girl I hung out with once in high school and his entire family and friends are like of course

 

I take it Carmy's never really had a girlfriend and they would tease him about a girl he showed interest in that lived on their street. Makes sense to me

 

And you know Michael and Ritchie constantly called him the f word and Natalie was like please don't

 

I have never heard of MPDG before who tf comes up with this shit

 

how have you been on the internet this long and not heard of it?

 

It's from av club
The Bataan Death March of Whimsy Case File #1: Elizabethtown

 

Because terms like that don’t exist in wrestling or photography forums lol.

Hey at least I looked it up first instead of just asking. Guess I missed out on the whole let’s give a crazy acronym to everything era

 

no MPDGs in wrestling??

 

1000%, such a chicago detail

 

Idk. That might require nuance. And if there’s any, certainly nobody is calling em that

 

I had never heard of it either

 

Claire was giving these vibes

 

y’all are weird lol

 

bored of this discourse, I think people just don't like the inclusion of a new character whose primary purpose is as a romantic interest

 

Doesn't pretty much everyone in here like her?

 

I hope Claire gets 90% of the screen time next season, you hooligans.

 

Again who is saying they don't like her?
