This show is just cool. It’s got good vibes, good design, a cool world that feels internally consistent, and good themes. In a world that refuses to understand the weird stuff that exists in it, Helda is curious and empathic to the weird stuff, and tries to understand their motives and desires. She regularly sees the good in things like trolls and other creatures, and makes connections others can’t. Her relationships with her friends and mom can be strained at times, but they find common ground and learn to be better friends and family.
My kiddo digs it, and I as well.
My chud outrage detector suspects that one glance at that cover, with the boy trailing behind and looking distressed, likely sets off the Youtube Outrage Industrial Complex.
Na he’s a wimp who grows into being brave and cool. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talking about this show let alone raging about it. Probably because its original IP based on a graphic novel for kids, and not Starwars or LotR.
I’m glad. I hope the tourists fuck off or even have no idea the show exists.
