So there is a character that was in the book names Gilbert, and Anne despised him pretty much, she even hit him with a slate. He went on a boat and explored the world or something. They also added a black character who is his friend, and has this strong British accent. His name is Sebastian and I will admit that he does have a really cool accent. I would say that I like Sebastian, but I can't and it's the same for most of the other characters, which I will explain later. <br /><br />Now I will discuss the main reasons why I wanted to talk about this show, and some particular episodes and characters. So we get to learn about Anne and her life at school, when we are then, without warning, are introduced to a gay character named Cole. Similar to Sebastian, I can't say that I like this character, and the only relatable quality I can say from him is that his is an artist. Like Sebastian, he is another character that was not in the book, except I feel like the only reason why Cole exists in this universe is to advertise LGBTQ.<br /><br /> As I said earlier, the episode that triggered me to write this was about Anne going to a party for the first time. That may not seem bad, in fact when she did enter the house/mansion that she was in, everything was covered with flowers. It as pretty over the top but it was at least pleasing to look at for the first three minutes of it. Similar to that dumb play I mentioned earlier, I didn't get what this party was about. I assume that its a party/funeral for someones girlfriend. The lady who was in charge of this party was by the name of Jo. Well you were triggered seeing Cole, now I feel that our message didn't get across enough on LGBTQ+, so how about we add another gay character in, except she is a lesbian and she morns the death of her girlfriend. I still don't think you get our message, well how about we shove it in your face on purpose just to annoy you that there are tons of gay men at the party too. Anyway, we get to learn more about Jo and she tells us how much she love her girlfriend. What I'm wondering is what happened to her girlfriend? Did she die of old age? <br /><br /> The big mean homophobe is Diana. So near the end of the party, Anne, Cole and the horrible Diana sit together and talk about the party. Diana does not understand what is going on and tells the other two that what she had seen was....(trigger word) unnatural. From here on out, the personality of Anne and Cole just completely flies out the window. Somehow Anne gets how ok it is to be gay. This adds up to the whole Mary sue trait of Anne'<br /><br />To sum things up, this show is a huge pity party. Remember when I mentioned that I would like to like Sebastion but can't and it's the same for the characters? Well it's because most of them have to much good qualities and zero bad ones, they're not that likable. The characters remind me of those cute animal side kicks in Disney movies, the only reason you would like them is because they are cute and such. They don't have any bad characteristics and are there just for laughs. <br /><br />Speaking of animals, one positive thing I can say besides the aesthetic is how Anne would visit her clubhouse and see that fox appear. If anything that fox is my favorite character. <br /><br /> Another good thing I can say about this show is with the acting. Some of the characters are accurate with the book, some of the accents are really cool, but with some other characters like the British Barry family and that silly teacher Mr Philips, they overact. The teacher's voice makes me cringe the most, it sounds like he drank too much caffeine. The best characters in this show are Matthew and Marilla. Marilla has good and bad traits. She is a negative character and is harsh, but loves and cares for Anne. I would give this show either a 4/10 or a 5/10 for the quality of it.Evelynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580645119535003479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-23438233821098773692018-11-27T11:33:32.625-05:002018-11-27T11:33:32.625-05:00Well said!Well said!elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-3818191585476965712018-11-27T11:28:40.549-05:002018-11-27T11:28:40.549-05:00My main contention is, as you say, luring viewers ...My main contention is, as you say, luring viewers based on their previous love of the character and story line, into a plot line of current cultural issues. Do not take the innocence of a beloved story and use it to promote such an agenda. L.M. Montgomery would be horrified that her efforts to share life of her beloved Prince Edward Island was used as a vehicle to thrust an unsuspecting into a world of lost innocence. julygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008279978165536349noreply@blogger.com
