Powers, Identity, and The World; Embracing the Real You - Friday, Period One

//Right. So... We don't have much of a discussion prepared for today,// Jono admitted, looking a touch sheepish. //This semester apparently hasn't been much good for that. But we haven't cashed in our 'movie day' get out of jail free card yet, either, so I found an old episode of the Y-People cartoon to show, and then we can discuss it afterward. How you felt about the situation of the young girl, your opinion on the animation, whatever you wish. It's topical, at least.//

He shrugged his shoulders, and then slid a Y-People VHS into an old VCR, because that was just how the 90s rolled, okay?

Movie day!

It's your classic story of "Young woman gets powers, young woman gets chased away from home, young woman gets taken in by someone, young woman gets taken advantage of and develops MORE powers, and then young woman gets taken in by someone marginally better, for real."

Pleeeease meta the hell out of this and the characters that are shown.

Yeah, the whole episode isn't long enough to take up the entire class period, so now it's discussion time. How did it make you feel? Can you relate? Did you think it was realistic or unreasonable somehow? What would you do if you were in that girl's shoes?

If she's around!

When they tag in!

I was going to show you guys the old X-Men cartoon at some point this semester if I could get away with it anyway. The fact that I chose that particular clip, however...

Look, Rogue's voice actor kissed my cheek on Wednesday and has been fighting like a wildcat with the Nova Scotian government from the inside in order to save our jobs. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON MY MIND.
