      This channel is pitiful for its mispronunciations. They must have watched quite a bit of the show to derive these insights, so how could they not know how to pronounce the name of one of the main characters? I know the narrator may not be the one who wrote this, but someone should have noted it in the script or something

    I don't like how it's framed that motherhood was part of what made her a better person when she was literally FORCED into pregnancy when her husband tampered with her birth control. Also it just reinforces that a woman has to become a mother in order to grow as a person which just feels very devaluing for those who don't want children

      She got pregnant and lost the baby , but realise she wanted a baby (the doctor told her she can’t have a child) , they tried surrogate but didn’t work out , after Carlos lost his vision so , she gave up having children , But they accidentally got married , So her two daughters aren’t actually because Carlos forced her

    I like how even though she didn't want kids from the jump. She ended up becoming very invested in her kids, going out of her way to do whatever is in their best interests. And when she found out she her daughter Juanita was swapped from birth and she met her birth daughter, it really brought out a different side to her. It goes to show that for all her flaws, she wasn't as self centered as she believed herself to be.

    She was never actually in love with John, she was indeed in love with Carlos but there was an emotional detachment and she used John in order to fulfill that void. This is evident by the storyline in season 4 when she married Victor and starts the affair with Carlos. At the game night when Katherine mentions the John affair Victor said he didn't care and it wasn't a big deal and that showed her that she really did love Carlos because Carlos' reaction to the affair, in juxtaposition to Victor', proved Carlos was the man for her.

    Loved the video and would love to see Susan and Lynette analyzed as well - however small correction about Juanita believing she's "white rather than Latina". Latinos/latinas (not latinx, doesn't exist in Spanish and only english speaking folk use it) can be white, black, asian, etc. Latino is not a race and we usually simply refer to ourselves as latinos.
    That being said, she may have latin american ancestry but she herself is not latina, given that she was born and raised in the US and her parents did not teach her their ancestor's language or partake in their culture. I get that the US is more "strict" with how they view ancestry and enforce labels to divide americans into smaller communities within their society, but to claim to be from a country you know very little of, if not nothing at all, feels like mockery when we face very different struggles from a latino descendant in a first world country. This is all meant respectfully of course. Can't wait for the next upload ♥

      @phantomconversations Thank you for your input! The Take is NEVER going to post a comment acknowledging and recognizing their mistake. It's very disappointing that they didn’t catch the comment that they made about Juanita at 4:20, which was very ignorant. I had to call it out, very harshly so, since they never correct themselves. I wonder how diverse their team is because there are many a time, that I just don't understand why their cultural ignorance is so very...blatant.
      I also posted a comment on how The Take, obviously, does not understand that being Latina/o is not about race it is more so about ancestry, meaning ethnicity. Anyone of any race or mixed race can be Latina/o. It reminds me of how people don't understand that being Hispanic has to do with language and nothing to do with race. Spaniards are Hispanic but not Latino, and Brazilians are Latinos but not Hispanic, whereas when it comes to Cubans, Venezuelans, Chileans,...etc. ; they are both Hispanic and Latinas/os.

    • @alepolait8951
      @alepolait8951 12 днів тому +4

      I would say she's a realistic mother. The worst storylines showed her confronting her flaws and the fact that she still carried her worst "values" into motherhood. I think the idea was to show how she slowly "shed" most of her selfish/narcissistic traits. But some actions are just impossible to overlook. It's even worse because they used Juanita as Gaby's antagonist, to the point where their mother/daughter relationship was difficult to believe at times.
      Gaby was the child of a loveless mother (and that’s putting it nicely), and she didn’t want kids herself. So it makes sense that she has no idea what to do.
      She's trying to mother both Juanita and herself at the same time, flip-flopping between being over-indulgent and extremely harsh. She tries to be the mom she never had, then overcorrects by trying to be the mom she thinks her kids need, and it’s hard to get it right. Carlos can see it because he came from a loving, caring family, but she just doesn't have that experience. Being loved and cared for by a mother never happened to her.
      She's full of love, good intentions, and maladaptive behaviors.
