My favourite thing about Abed Nadir is the fact that he is a HORRIBLE filmmaker.
Like I feel like when you think about autistic people, you think of people who are insanely good at their special interests and they’re bad at everything else. That’s the stereotype, and as an autistic person, I just kind of assumed that everyone else was just insanely good at their special interests.
But a special interest is just something you’re obsessed with. That doesn’t mean you’re good at it.
Abed cares about film as a medium so much that it is the way he processes and interprets reality. His opinions on movies and tv shows are thought out and long. He knows everything about everything when it comes to film.
And yet he’s absolute shit at actually doing it. With the exception of the documentary episodes, every piece of film we see from Abed is mediocre at best. He knows everything that goes into a good movie, but he can’t quite put the pieces together right.
And that’s why he’s the most relatable autistic character I’ve ever seen. He’s not some prodigy that can pull a movie out of his head in 5 seconds like it’s nothing. He’s just a guy who’s trying to get better at something. Give me more autistic characters that are completely mediocre at their special interests. Let me be autistic and also just a bit of a dumbass please

Every single time I hear people talking about the prospect of Star Trek: Legacy, it's always like "Yeah we have Jack Crusher and the La Forge girls, and we can have Kestra Troi-Riker and Alexander Rozhenko join Starfleet, and, ooh, maybe Miral Paris and Molly O'Brien..." and it's just. Why do you want this? What's the appeal? Like, do you think that "Muppet Babies" is the peak of quality storytelling?
"I don't like old sci-fi shows, the special effects look too cheesy" you are incapable of joy. Go to the dungeon.
