Miss Power (and WordGirl, TJ, and two random citizens) being savage for 6 minutes straight.
-
I love how everyone in the show thinks that bullying the criminals that terrorize their city on a weekly basis is too mean.
-
I love how when Ms Power said wordgirl was a lousy superhero, all the villains immediately defended wordgirl. I always like it when villains have respect for the heroes
-
'Words have power, and when someone's using them for evil, don't let them have power over you', is the main message of this episode
-
I feel like Miss Power’s bullying is a metaphor for powers being used for evil Powers being words
-
I have to wonder where the line is drawn between bullying and taunting banter. Because she does have a point about the raw meat on a hot day.
-
“Too far?! He’s a criminal there’s no such thing as too far!” How the hell did I see the moral ambiguity in this silly cartoon?
-
She overstepped a LOT of boundaries -Dr Two Brain's mouse brain -Chuck's head -Tobey VS his mother -The Butcher running around covered in meat Dang, she even went for the exposition guy.
-
Y’know, it makes sense. For a show called "Word"Girl, verbal abuse would be the most dangerous and effective form of violence, and they really did a good job making it feel like that’s the case
-
I like how the Super hero toxicity begins to spread to citizens. I mean, by all means, Word Girl is a sort of idol who upholds a symbol of goodness, so it makes sense for random civilians to act similarly because it's like: hey, Word Girl is great and she does it, so why can't we? It's not wrong if she does it because it's Word Girl.
-
I like how everyone in this universe is generally nice to each other or shown to have decent manners (even the villains) that the worst thing you can do is say someone’s shoes are ugly
-
ok but her insulting Toby like that was so cruel cuz word girl knew about his crush on her. that shit wasn't right.
-
While she is a legitimate threat, had this been a more mature story, she would’ve done a lot worse. Verbal abuse is bad, but she could’ve easily dialled it up more than a simple notch.
-
If the writers think this is a bullying, just wait till they see some of the tweets on Twitter.
-
I love how in the first clip she sounds more concerned than aggressive
-
Notice how wordgirl never once pokes fun at two brains even when he’s criticizing her new technique. In fact she tries to defend it like a rebellious daughter defending her new toxic friend and their ideals. Even after his transformation, he never stops being a father figure to her lmao
-
2:17 - 2:23 I love how Tobey falls so slowly in such fleeting, picturesque fashion. It's like something out of a play about a royal kingdom, he was like a knight or prince fighting for his kingdom and ending up losing the battle. I wanted to throw a rose to the screenings of my laptop at that part, it was just perfection ✨ Pure beauty!
-
I still love the line, "I'm here aren't I?"
-
Ms. Power's thirst for power probably made her the most villainous villain in the show(along with Mr. Big). Her bullying didn't make her evil though since these villains weekly shenanigans could possibly kill thousands of people.
-
Fun thing: This special technically broke the "no name calling" mandate Wordgirl had Though given it's about how that's bad, I guess PBS accepted it
