Setting A New Standard
Pluto is truly setting a new and higher standard for GL series. Whether it comes to acting, storytelling, or cinematography. I want to applaud snap25, namtanfilm, and the rest of the cast and people involved with masterpiece.
I understand why the snap25 staff continuously repeated that Pluto wouldn't be Pluto without Namtan and Film. They are truly in their own league when it comes to acting and if anyone else played these characters, the story wouldn't be as hard-hitting. I love giving opportunities to new people but in some cases experience is needed and you can truly see the difference. Namtan is truly one of the best actresses I've seen (not just in gl), she played Oom so differently than Oon that you could tell me they were played by different people and I would believe you. Film has just gotten better and better throughout her career and I think being paired with Namtan and working on Pluto pushed her to be the best version of herself because she was an absolute star in Pluto.
Pluto also wouldn't be Pluto without snap25. The changes in the script were great and gave depth to a novel that I personally didn't enjoy. In the novel, Oon felt like a character only driven by lust while May wasn't a full-fledged character and didn't have much reasoning behind her horrible actions. I also loved that they took out the problematic element of May faking her blindness the whole entire time and instead used their time to educate people on the lives of people with disabilities.
There were many stand-out scenes that showed the excellent storytelling in Pluto but one that stood out to me a lot was the hospital scene between Oom and May. We originally saw May's point of view where May couldn't see Oom breaking down, so we grew a negative opinion of her. But after a couple of episode's we saw Oom's point of view and how hard it was for her to let may go/put on a cold front. Seeing the side by side of this scene was absolutely amazing.
I think I could go on and on about everything that I loved about this series, namtanfilm, and oonmay's love story but I would be here for hours. As always I will have my complaints and that is mainly the finale, which was the only reason I gave the series a 9.5 and not a 10. Most finales feel rushed and this one wasn't an exception. Compared to some other finales it is good but in the context of this series it doesn't live up to the amazing 11 episode run imo. My main issue was giving May's dad a random out of character redemption arc. I think these series believe that everyone has to have a happy ending for it to be a "true happy ending," but I don't need to see an abusive homophobic father randomly act nice especially because it didn't have any impact on May/May would have still been happy without him in her life.
Anyways, all in all this is one of my favorite series ever and I can't wait to see more namtanfilm projects in the future (girl rules pls hurry).
