I didn’t even realize how annoyed I was at the general way women in comedy shows are portrayed until TAZ didn’t do the thing and I realized how amazing it was.
The thing is: when you have a group of funny male characters and one or two women, and the women are always super mature and emotionally together and much too responsible and reasonable to engage in shenanigans. Basically the perpetually annoyed straight man for the jokers to butt up against.
And then TAZ introduced Lup, and immediately she was petty, and smug, and egotistical, and FUCKING HILARIOUS, and it felt like taking a breath of air when I didn’t even realize I’d been underwater. She’s allowed to be every bit as ridiculous and self-obsessed as her brother, and they just trust that we’ll love her the same way we love Taako, faults and all – they never feel like they’re apologizing for putting a girl in with all this silliness, not once! And, like, they joke about a “competent woman” – she is HIGHLY competent! And very moral! And capable of tremendous love and sweetness!
And she ALSO wants her fucking fifteen dollars back, GREG GRIMALDIS.
