some Guardian thoughts

[marcicat]

So. Watched the eps with the whole ‘freezing to death in the lab’ situation. I can appreciate the need to create a peril scenario (I guess; I mean, any time I write it always turns out to be a misunderstanding, but I can grasp the concept).

And I am willing to accept that *somehow* the person who can light things on fire with his hands was not helpful in this scenario. (He was injured? It’s not real fire? It is real fire, but they were worried about oxygen? IDK, it’s hand-wave-able.)

I am EVEN willing to accept that APPARENTLY the person who — back on the camping trip — ripped a hole in a mountain wasn’t able to do the same on, say, the wall. Or that fan thing. Or the floor. (He was… also injured? His powers also require a medium to work, and it’s, uh, something that wasn’t there? WHO KNOWS.)

BUT! What I CANNOT accept, and will remain baffled by for all my days, is that Guo was wearing a hoodie that entire time and NEVER put the hood up. EVER. Was it a fake hood? Is this like women’s pants with the fake pockets? Does he look funny with a hood?

In conclusion: all of them were terrible at cold-weather survival; coal star, it’s like you didn’t even try at all; PUT YOUR HOOD UP GUO.

Very Important Addendum: This is why you should always stuff snacks into your pockets any time you go somewhere!

Hehe, I didn't notice at the time. I guess they were deep into trope land and just wanted Chu to provide the warmth.

Hi there, I'm here via starandrea. *waves*

Hello! And yes -- you know what would have been great? If Chu had put Guo's hood up. Boom; tropes and common sense in a beautiful partnership of adorableness!

I never even noticed the hoodie... maybe he forgot he had it? ;)

Hello! The only thing I can think of is that out of a likely unnecessary sense of fairness, he didn't put his hood up because Fire and Chu didn't have hoods. Or something?!

*laughs forever* These are such beautiful observations -- I didn't notice any of them at all! <3 <3 <3

I have to watch this one skipping all the cold-room scenes now; I can't unsee the hoodie!
