Just something funny I want to post before my next set of assessments

Haven't really watch much of Amphibia, but from what I know it is a very interesting series, and a relatively rare western take of the Japanese 'Isekai' Genre (where real world protagonist is deposited in a fantasy world and must work to survive and thrive). I realize that in some ways the series had touched upon many of the tropes of said genre and played with them in all sorts of ways, especially where the three main Human characters are concerned. So here we are.

Marcy represents the Thesis/Original, where the main character thrives, brings in 'real world wisdom' to solve fantasy world issues, and in the process becomes a hero who changed the fantasy world for the better. Sasha is the Antithesis/Deconstruction, where the reality ensues, countless natural and inevitable complications get in the way, and her presence as well as actions causes as much if not more trouble for the world than help, to say nothing of her own situation. And then we have Anne the Synthesis/Reconstruction, where the difficulties are acknowledged and addressed in some way such that the situation goes back to what we normally expects, with the character adapting to her situation and make the most of it.

This is by no means reflective of the three girls' experiences, more a visual representation. All three went through them at various points, and many of their experiences have many interesting twists, ESPECIALLY towards the end of season 2 and in season 3. What do you think?

Anne, Sprig, Sasha, Marcy and Andrias as well as Amphibia are property of Matt Braly and the Disney Channel. Images taken from the series intro and the Theme Song Takeovers. Please support their official releases.
