I was the first anon to bring up JC=Jesus Christ but oh my god I do not want that baby storyline, so sorry to putting that type of energy out there lmao

And another anon:

Lol sorry, years of Catholic school have primed me to see how Catholicism operates and it’s very much w women as mothers or whores and not the heroes of the story. But to be fair this show seems more critical of Catholicism than bound to its premises. But yes, I don’t think a pregnancy storyline is likely. Far more likely that they bring back JC as a savior figure, which I still really don’t want but season 1 was enjoyable so I’ll hope next season stays focused on the women.

Haha, no worries, anons. Hopefully. We’ll know who to blame if it happens… =_=

But yeah, this show seems to be straddling an interesting line where it’s not really condemning religion in itself but is certainly ready to examine the individual humans who follow it. I hope it actually does allow the more devout sisters to keep their faith next season, even if there are huge upheavals along the way. But it definitely doesn’t seem to think that women should be sidelined for men, so hopefully we can count on that.

For someone who mostly does wlw I don’t see much of batwoman on here, what do you think about the new batwoman?

Hahah, wow, anon. Mostly something is not most of something. 😛 There’s a lot out there I haven’t gotten into (yet). 

For the new BW, I have some conflicting if not particularly organized thoughts:

  • I’m much more likely to watch it now, I could not get into RR as the lead
  • I liked Javicia Leslie in God Friended Me and kind of delight in the providence that let her go from a side character on a cancelled show called that to a lead role
  • I’m wary of the CW’s ability to look out for Javicia, given their total incompetence in shielding their Black actors from racist fandoms
  • I didn’t like Ryan’s character description when it was first announced weeks ago and hope they sand off some of those edges
  • I didn’t watch the first season but picked up a few things and am curious how they’ll introduce this whole new character and ground her and what they’ll do with the other existing characters, all of them connected so strongly to Kate Kane. Especially Sophie, who’s suffered so much, in the show and outside, people being so harsh to her for so long, having earned the right to be a happy, central, liked character
  • (Kind of wish they’d made Sophie BW)

Mostly just curious to see how they’ll handle it all, I guess. I understood other people’s protectiveness over the character Kate Kane but I don’t have any investment like that so just observing from way outside it all.

Thanks for being Warrior Nun content! And other stuff as well! I saw a post where someone wish that Ava’s internal voice over would continue (if we get more seasons) with her realizing feelings for Beatrice! Lol imagine that bathroom scene instead of JC but it’s Beatrice. And I’m with you that I don’t see the purpose of him and his crew continue for future episodes (if!) Also, I love how they steer the show that the nuns and the evil corps working together!!! And them being helpful as well!!

Ohhh, if they go there with Avatrice, I would very much like to know her thoughts. Now I’m conflicted, lol. I didn’t really love the voice over because it honestly made things too simple, instead of wondering what she was thinking and being left to interpret it ourselves, she’d just tell us in the most basic of terms, and most of the time we could have inferred it from the scenes anyway. But if she falls for Beatrice….oh, man, I’d love to hear the thought process then. 

Lol, I genuinely cannot imagine that scene with Beatrice. That is a NUN, anon! And it’s Beatrice! I’d have to see it to believe it (and yes, WN writers, that is a challenge).

You sent this before some of the recent asks about JC so tbh, I wonder now if his purpose is as the others suggest, to be some Christ like figure? I don’t know how that plays into the version of the world they have, though. I would just as soon be happy with them dropping him from the show once they realized he wasn’t really working, much like they did with the voice over.

And yes, ARQ seemed like the bad guy just because of the usual TV tropes, I perked up at Ava doing something clever and unpredictable like going straight to Jillian, it was entertaining and made sense. But continuing to go to her was a stroke of genius and a nice subversion of that trope.

Alba really looks like a cross between Emilia Clarke and Alicia Vikander to me haha to add a new actress to the mix

Adding to the whole “who does Ava look like” convo, she def has a whole Ellie from the Last of Us vibe. Short, sassy, and in love with a woman.

Oooh, yes, Emilia Clarke, or for me, young Piper Perabo, I can definitely see that. Okay, Ellie from Last of Us is just Ellen Page reskinned, that’s not a new one. 😛 But I will take the “in love with a woman”, heh.

Lmao JC anon I had the same thought! Anyone raised in Catholicism might’ve caught the JC for Jesus Christ and there’s more connections! Him saving Ava from drowning & her repeatedly telling him she doesn’t need to be rescued. The fact that he always provided all the food. Traveled the world picking up stray people a la the apostles. I’m not saying he’s ~definitely~ meant to be Jesus but I really hope they don’t go there ever lol but they have a satanic figure in Adriel & Michael maybe archangel

Waaait. Now I feel bad for being so incredulous at the other anon because that actually makes…a ton of sense. It really WOULD explain his overinflated part in the plot, including why we had to see that whole odd very specific dynamic spelled out like that, like did we need to see so much of the friends. Huh. Well. Yeah, and for sure, Adriel and Michael are gonna play some kind of role based on the names, a character named JC might yet prove to have his purpose. Innnnteresting.

Was I the only one who thought JC was gonna be revealed as Jesus Christ lmao

Lmao, as WHO? Omg, anon. That’s…kind of genius???? I didn’t even draw that connection, but those are pretty specific initials for a show steeped in Christian…mythology (?) and the fact that Ava’s already been resurrected. I mean, no, I wouldn’t have gotten there on my own in a million years, and I don’t think that’s where they were going, but it would be. Hilarious.

Hi, it’s me the anon that ‘Ask’ about the story of Sister Melanie. Just WOW ( ^ 0 ^ ) you really created a GIF set about that. Seeing the comparison side by side like that is making me ship Ava and Beatrice more and more LOL

Hi, anon! It was a really great observation, I’m so happy you thought of it! And I know, I’m trying to not let myself sink too deeply into that, but it’s simply canon fact that without even knowing the halo would kick in, when Ava saw Beatrice under threat from a GUN, she RAN TOWARD IT with no intention but to interfere somehow even if that meant putting herself in harm’s way.

It was in fact the halo that surprised her (and all of them) and saved her from jumping straight into the path of the bullets. She’s hardly at the stage of (near) invincibility where she’s going to instinctively seek out that kind of damage, even if the halo HAD been able to absorb that kind of damage, she’s not nearly at that point yet, this was just her. 

And the person she did that for is Beatrice. Sure, maybe it’d have been for anyone. But it wasn’t.
