Such a saccharine show. I loved the first 2 seasons, although it was sometimes overly sweet and unrealistic, but to me this last season is just soooo sappy and borderline fake at times. Anyways, just my opinion. Love your reaction as always.

I have this thing that happens to me watching/reading/listening to finales of things I've followed for years where I get short of breath not from crying but just a tightness and thinness that happens as it really sinks in on being the end. I felt it with that opening credits of photos taken through the years and the montage of every opening title animation, and I felt it both in the comic and here in the last scene going through the photo album with pages still available and Charlie asking for just one more kiss and moment lingering in the panels just a little longer and the pages included over the credits. And now I have one more of your own montage of your reactions over the years to this show, as your reactions to it have been with me just as long as this story has (and isn't it so nice that it lasted long enough for you to mix around with your editing, as your animations have never been more fitting for a reaction than with this) 💜 While due to time constraints this finale misses out on something that has always been an additional strength of the show, which is the space to explore side characters and storylines, I find it funny and sort of sweet that by this final adaptation being a movie it ended by feeling the most like the comics out of the whole show with the tight focus on just Charlie and Nick. I also have 3 notes on 3 tweaks done from the comic to this film. First the moved around Tori asexual/Michael bisexual confirmation being at the rink and the cheeky little "I could've sworn I told you that" acknowledgement. I think for the show it works better that it was here rather than the ferris wheel scene like in the comic, because that scene had the backing and build-up of a whole novel about Tori and Michael's bond and that comic page was just an additional clear confirmation of things, while in the show Tori and Michael had only been established for 3-4 episodes and it might've felt a little clunky if they had also brought that into it so soon. Here it flows naturally into Tori talking about their relationship and fits very well with the movie's narrative. Second is Farouk's line about how "historically queer people have never asked for permission to exist" being given to Ajayi. It gets me down a bit just from how much I love Farouk, but it makes a lot of sense to give it to Ajayi with his own established history with Charlie and making a space for him to exist. Third is the very slight cutting down of David and Nick's storyline from the comics which is the only thing I would say this last adaptation is really missing out on. Not a lot is cut but it smooths out some of the more complicated feelings there and I really miss where Nick is addressing how David has treated him over the years and lets some of his anger out over it and David acknowledges it as well, and the lines where Nick says "It didn't have to be like this between us." and David says "I know." allowing a sad frustration of what their relationship could've been especially because it pairs so well with the lines they do keep that are right after which are the last lines to each other where David goes "I'm not like him. He hurt me too." and Nick is the one who says "I know." You commenting the whole time on high school couples that separate at graduation but are able to grow and come back together later and it not totally applying to Charlie and Nick but instead going to Tao and Elle and that knocking the wind outta ya in surprise. No I like elephant in the gay room better. 9:28 he has TWO DOGS. We love you and The Wife.
