I can't wait for the comic story to unfold and hope it's good! I wish I could have the physical cover version with only Frankie on it. Frankenstein's monster looks great and his little moment with Frankie is cute. Guess it's digital copy for me, too. No idea if this will be sold here.
I could write a long essay about how much I loathe ClawdeenxToralei. It comes completely out of left field.
At least Valentine got a random bf that wasn't a character before so he can be written in any way, but Toralei was a very prominent antagonist throughout the entire run of G1 and never showed interest in Clawdeen or vise versa.
Clawdeen wasn't just headcanon'ed by the fandom, Garrett Sander revealed a while ago he wanted her to be a lesbian but Mattel said no, no lesbians. Hence why I have no problem with her getting a gf, but TORALEI out of all people???
Don't like how Valentine is an ex-villain and Toralei is an ex?-antagonist. Why have both be redeemed villains?
Why not use wholesome characters like Venus or Twyla (not as gfs for Clawdeen but in general)? Plus points, they never had bfs or were boycrazy so it's more believable with them. Give them girlfriends.
But no, lesbians or gays need to come with baggage and be controversial in some way or else it's not interesting. Valentine and his guy look like the cover for
Heartstopper so you know this is aimed at straight girls first and foremost
PS: Love how Spelldon has the broccoli hair and he's green, like an anthropomorphic broccoli almost. He actually reminded me of Beast Boy from DC but apparently he is a wizard, Harry.
