Not only that, to me a lot of it comes out because the actors that portrayed them are a similar age and with chemistry. For example I could never take the main couple Luna and Mateo seriously because the actors that played them are 7 years apart which is objectively noticeable, because the actor that played Mateo first played in Violetta so we're already familiar with him therefore know he is older than the rest of the cast. Continuing on that , plot with Mateo flirting with Luna while being in a relationship falls short because Luna objectively appears to look like a child compared to him given how much younger she is , Ambar genuinely looks more mature so it's more believable. You don't have that with Simon and Ambar because in real life they are similar ages .
Also I feel like few people points this out but another reason this couple works so well (besides their crazy chemistry) is because they were perhaps the two strongest actors out of the whole younger cast. Ambar’s actress gets praised a lot and rightfully so but I almost never see Simon’s actor get the flowers he deserves. His micro expressions and nuanced performance as Simon was brilliant for such a young actor. Their scenes together were just so well acted.
Fr!! Their acting here is SO real 10:44 aaaaa the way she slowly smiles then breaks eye contact, kinda trying to brush it off. This was like one of the first moments where I felt like she had a genuine smile since episode 1. And the way he laughs when he teases her is so genuine as well. It’s so cute I love them
The great thing about Amber's outfits near the end of the show is that they perfectly merge her preppy looks from the start of the show with her more metal looks she later has. Perfectly closing her journey arc.
i feel like pairings in shows are always 1000x better when they involve the supporting cast rather than the main character. it seems more organic i guess. i’ve still not seen this show but i love your recaps, they’re so interesting!
Of course when the main couple often has too much of a age difference - in Violetta and soy Luna main couples were 7 years apart which is objectively noticeable, in Violetta a little less but in soy Luna especially since Luna objectively appears to look like a child, Tini in Violetta was tall even then and they styled her well so she blended with the cast , in general Violetta cast fitted looks wise better despite them too being all different ages .
Let's take a moment to look at Ambar's character from the perspective of other BSC students, especially those who don't go to JR. There's this random girl who is rich, gets top grades, speaks 4 languages, is an athlete (not just for fun - have you seen the number of trophies in her room from pre-Soy Luna?), she sings and dances, she always traveling. she is also pretty and has a pretty boyfriend. Then. one day, out of nowhere, she starts having issues with an even more random immigrant girl who isn't even in her year
AMBAR AND SIMON WERE MY FAVESSSSSS I WAS SO OBSESSED WITH THEM😭😭😭 I grew up in Spain when this thing was released and it was HUGE, when they started having chemistry I was genuinely so crazy about them like I looked up edits for the FIRST TIME ever in my life. My first OTP on god
Simbar singin the acoustic ver of Como me ves changed my life as a 12 yr old. Also, the almost-first kiss scene with Jazmín interrupting is literally so iconic ugh love Simbar. Best ship in the show alongside Gastina
SAME!! And watching this scene again when I was 18, now really understanding how lost she felt at this moment and how she finally understood what "feeling the song" meant. THE EMOTION, THEIR VOICE SOUNDING SO GOOD TOGETHER, AND THAT KISS ON HER HAND UGHHHH my favorite scene ever
my conclusion watching this is that the simbar arc is built on people interrupting them mid-conversation and if they just went somewhere private where no one could reach them when talking, they would've saved themselves so much pain
Yeah is really common in telenovelas the concept of an assault is like mindblowing to them, unless you were screaming and punching the guy is not an "assault", and is sooooo mess up, like I can't.
Yeah. It's true We're a little bit desensitize about it, mostly because a lot of us grew up watching telenovelas in which worse things happened, like very dark and violent things. So, these scenes in Soy Luna are very tame in comparison.
@@bluecherry1011 am latina so I have watch against my will lol, many telenovelas that are more "traditional" and well known and I have been many times uncomfortable with how normalize is that girls get blame for being assaulted. Sight
@@kaydollar2490 is not about a scene, am just trying to day that I have seem worse casses in telenovelas of women being assaulted but no believed. Is sad but it has to with the sexism in latinoamerica.
Also I feel like few people points this out but another reason this couple works so well (besides their crazy chemistry) is because they were perhaps the two strongest actors out of the whole younger cast. Ambar’s actress gets praised a lot and rightfully so but I almost never see Simon’s actor get the flowers he deserves. His micro expressions and nuanced performance as Simon was brilliant for such a young actor. Their scenes together were just so well acted.
It's funny because I still think Lutteo (although only in season 1) is my favorite ship from Soy Luna, it's craaaazy that I didn't at the time truly see the chemistry between Ambar and Simon. I don't think I've ever seen a couple have as much chemistry on a Disney Channel show as Simbar... they just feel like a real couple, if that makes any sense? Completely unrelated, but in a weird way this video also made me realize that we were robbed of some great Lutteo scenes. Just like Simon kind of got glimpses of what Ambar is struggling with and how she is trying to cope with her family situation in season 2 and 3, I feel like we should have seen something similar with Lutteo. I think that would have made their relationship feel more real tbh. And though I still adore Lutteo, your video really made me realize that Simbar has the deeper relationship (and that makes the pay-off so much better!^^)
3:37:27 Totally. Her outfit at the end is a mix of goth mettalic black and pinky girly colors, which is like showing that this both sides are a part of her. That she found her true self
I haven't seen a single episode of Soy Luna, but as a native Spanish speaker I'm suprised at just how good the actress that potrays Ambar is. Also loving that the actors actually look like kids.
As a fan of your channel from South America, I must say your spanish is really good! Ámbar was in my opinion the best character in the entire series and they were simply my favourite ship! I can't wait to clear my schedule to watch your thoughts on them! :')
bestie I'm so happy your passion project video is finally out! ❤ the way that your videos helped introduce the magic of soy luna to english speaking audiences wayyy before it was even available to us on disney plus?! truly iconic behaviour!👏 I'm so thankful for the friendship we built through our love of this show! forever a proud member of the simbar council 🥰
You should do a video about underrated/underappreciated Disney Channel/Disney ships. For all the problematic couples on Disney Channel (with a few exceptions) we need more attention on the healthy ships.
2:31:30 man I love this moment, him being like "fuck anything else going on, fuck the hurt you've caused, you're clearly hurting and I'm there for you" is the most simón shit ever, he's the fucking best
hi caitlin! this video makes me sooooo happy. 4 years ago at this point, I discovered your channel. You introduced Soy Luna to me and I cannot describe how much joy it literally brought me. Quarantine was a messed up time for me, so having a brand new hyperfixation was the greatest thing ever. To this day I still consider Soy Luna my favorite show of all time and I’m not ashamed of saying it. Thank you so much for introducing this show to me and for covering my dear simbar in this video! Love you! 💟
Its been´a long time since I last rewatched this show and now I really have a new found appreciation for all the symbolic things they did, like with the locations and styling and especially Ambers mirror scenes. Also your chapter titles are iconic
I find it so interesting that you interpreted the song como me ves as about her relationship with her mirror and i interpreted it as about her relationship with her godmother
While Simón wasn't victim of Benicio's assault, he was in fact still a victim of his trick and manipulation, not a victim of something as bad as Ámbar was, not of assault, but it's incorrect to say that he wasn't a victim in that situation at all or to say he wasn't just bc he wasn't the most affected from it. What Benicio did wasn't just to trick Ámbar but both of them, he wanted her kiss to get her and he wanted Simón to see it to think Ámbar is still with him and be done with her, he's actively being trick into thinking Ámbar did something she didn't, so we can't blame him for it. It's not excuses and it's not justifing him to be able to keep loving him but simply the truth. I get is hard to see Ámbar get all his rage after she went through something so horrible, but it doesn't mean he's in the wrong, none of them is, just Benicio. And actually the fact that he actually got someone to direct even a part of the blame of how things went in this situation with his trick and assault to hurt both, shows how effective it was, which is horrible, being you in this case who is doing the same Simón does, but worse as you have the whole context, which shows what stuff like this can cause on people who sees it, which is really sad and frustrating. So yeah, it is a mess, but it's not something to take sides on or to have to make an effort to justify each one, in a "maybe he can come from this side" way, that's simply unfair. And you nailed it on your part about how you need full trust to believe someone you just saw kissing another person actually had a good reason to, when actually nothing would really explain such thing, and how she betrayed his trust countless times so he's right about believing she did just kiss him willingly, but that also does involve wanting to listen to her, even if as you said the miscommunication trope is hella annoying, here it is prefectly justified and not something to call someone in the wrong for (aside from Benicio obviously) and feeling like the right thing is for them to listen (and ofc it also incorrect to take that whole argument back just bc he's on the same mood the next day); or like he should do it bc he knows Benicio just bc Ámbar is someone who has treated him terribly meany times but simply not as terrible as Benicio, bc it's not how trust works nor someone should give more trust to someone who lost it just bc there's someone worse involved, especially since this is not a case about something only Benicio would do and Ámbar would never, as it is in fact something they both have done countless times, so he's fully in the right and can't be seen as someone who fell for something he shouldn't, like he's incompetent or should act differently in given situation, his entire reaction is totally logical and valid, that's why Ámbar herself, as the show, say it explicitly, bc the reality is that anyone is his place would have reacted the same, even Ámbar, you or me, and it's also the reason why he apologizes bc of what the horrible situation was and what she had to go through rather than him being in the wrong, as he wasn't (different would have been if she did get to tell him she was assaulted and he would have screamed at her it wasn't true, as assault declarations should always be paid attention to, but this is not what happened at all. What he didn't believe from her was that she didn't kiss him as she said at the start, bc he saw it, and then when she said that she did do it but for a reason, which he doesn't have to be able to guess and actually can't nor listen as I already explained, and that's simply a totally differet thing so he did no wrong), and why she recognizes that in fact he wasn't at fault at all but just Benicio for tricking them both which is why his apology wasn't in fact necessary bc there's nothing he did. While you see some of Ámbar mistakes and see many times when Simón has a point, correct perspective or directly take his side, you use to do it way more towards Ámbar than towards him, even when she has an incorrect point, perspective or is directly in the wrong and/or when he's in the right or at least has the point or one on his part, as with perspective. It is something I get how could happen at least, since she's such an amazing character we all love, her situation was a really bad one we can even feel more close to, she suffers a lot and she's in fact the best written character of the show. This is no hate ofc, not hating on you, your opinion or want to start a fight, just something I noticed and wanted to point out to share as I do believe this is such an important thing to explain.
They are literally the best thing ever and honestly even if they are like main characters I did not except them to end up together but I am so glad they did
Not even gonna lie, I don’t watch this show and have zero clue about what’s going on but seeing your excitement about a Disney show is infectious and warms my heart, that you have something you love so much 🥰
Did I watch the whole video? Yes, I did. Og fan here, some fun/curious facts about Simbar… 1. You definitely gave the writers WAY MORE credit than they deserved. Although they deliberately did some of the parallels, I don’t think they were clever enough to incorporate symbolisms in their body language and quotes, especially considering that this was meant for little kids. Trust me, they left too many plot holes and didn’t bother to gave any character besides the main 4 any arcs in the 3 seasons to do that. 2. Although it’s true that Simbar happened because of the fans, they definitely put the crumbs you saw there aiming for some story between them. Basically those crumbs were the reason why we saw the potential in the shipp. 3. The video of the first duet between Ámbar and Simón in the Roller Jam dropped the night before the episode aired (not sure if by accident or not) but it got the fandom CRAZY. I remember watching it like a dozen times trying to put the pieces together. 4. Someone posted a bts photo of the final bench scene before even the first episode of season 3 aired, so we crazy fans thought that scene was going to be a huge deal and began creating all sources of theories so, even when it was beautiful, turned out to be a huge bummer in the end. Like you, I could talk about Simbar forever. Definitely became what it did because the chemistry between the actors and I forever cherish everything about that era 🤍
3:13:24 By the way this scene when she tells Emilia and Benicio that they are not friends anymore and she is not interested in being on their team is so good. Love this moment for her. She just stood up for what's right for her
To defend Simon here, you do have to see the circumstances in which the assault happened. It was at a party that, let's be honest here, Ambar threw only because Simon was feeling homesick, and i think that added to the hurt. Like Simon thinks she did something amazingly sweet for him, only for her to pull the rug from under him, from his perspective. I think he had very different expectations for this party. And Amber has had a history of hurting him. This situation isn't that much different to when she insisted that she was sorry, only to then join the sliders, or when she lied about being done with Benicio only for him to find out she was his accomplice. He was so hurt that he couldn't see Amber's story as sincere. And you have to remember, this is the same girl who thought there was nothing wrong with her dating someone while continuing to flirt with him. From Simon's pov Amber went from flirting with him, kissing Benicio, back to flirting with him like nothing happened in the same night. And it took him only 2 days to realize the truth. Because, after he calmed down and saw the video, he could finally recognize just how upset Amber was and how sincere her explanation was. And when he believes she and Benicio are dating again and that's the secret call she got, I always saw that as Simon's insecurities and jealousy blinding him. To him, this was Amber making the wrong choice, again, and hurting him for entertainment while refusing to admit or take responsibility for it.
By my count they made Atleast 14 custom rollerskates for all the characters. I haven’t finished the show yet so more could appear but it’s super cool that everyone of the main kids has a unique pair to them
I think a more proper translation would be "I adore you" or something like that, no? Same as "me gustas" isn't really "you're liked by me" but actually more of "I like you". The "me" works in spanish but in translation doesn't work so well.
Fun fact! It wasn't even the writers' idea. People started shipping them on social media and they took the idea from them. A writer confirmed it on Twitter back in the day when the show was still airing. So I guess you can say it started as fanservice but boooy, I'm so glad we were served! 😂
I absolutely need you to talk about Dipcifica (Dipper and Pacifica) from Gravity Falls, I know they don’t have lots of moments but I want you to analyze it a bit
I love how you keep making videos of Soy Luna caitlin, even if there's people that didn't watched the show or don't know about its existence you keep doing it cause you love it so I respect that a lot ❤
I have started watching (and since also finished) Soy Luna about a month ago because of some of your videos and it immediatley became my favorite Disney show of all time. This video coming right now just brought me so much joy (even if Lutteo is my favorite ship) 🥺
Thank you so much for covering Soy Luna and other LA shows! I'm so happy you're exposing people in the English-speaking world to these relatively unknown shows that I love so much!
First gastina now simbar, when will be lutteo turn? I would love you to do this section with all main couples of Soy Luna (even the ones who didn't end up together)
Another relationship progression that i love from this show is between símon and matteo, like i find it very wholesome and cute how they went from enemies to friends as well🤭❤️
I would've loved if you had seen Casi Angeles, an Argentinian telenovela with 500+ episodes, just to have a video like this on one of the main couples, Mar and Thiago. And actually Ambar's actress portrays a character in the last season, with the same name as me, Alai. It was actually transmitted in Disney channel for a while, but was taken down when they began portraying more mature storylines
1:20:53 Idk what’s with Disney Latin America and Non-con kissing. I honestly think it’s disgusting that they show this on a show that is meant for CHILDREN. First it was the kiss between Diego and Violetta (which I haven’t watch the show yet, but I heard it was handled horribly) then it’s Benicio and Ambar (twice is ridiculous) and the third one which I feel like people tend to forget is the Emelia and Matteo kiss which pissed me off so much when I watched the show. (I’m glad you mentioned it in this video) There’s probably more kisses in this show that are non-con but I don’t feel like going through all of them right now. I haven’t finished Bia yet, but if they had a non-con kiss I wouldn’t be surprised and if it’s not there, then there was probably gonna be one in the third season.
I think is a cultural thing. It's a VERY common trope in telenovelas of any kind not only Disney Channel ones. It is often used for drama so we latinamericans are kind of use to it (I'm assuming you are not latinamerican but I'm might be mistaken), but we obviously know is wrong. It is often used with villans on Disney Channel tho, so we are meant to associate it with evil (which obviously doesn't make it right, it just a thing I noticed)
@@agosgregor That’s understandable. You’re right I’m not Latin American, but I just find it weird that they did that here with the audiences are towards kids. I think I was going on a rant here because this is something that has bothered me for some time. And knowing how they handled the Violetta plot-line makes me frustrated.
@@CharlizeL5151 Yes, It's totally fair to feel that way! But as I said, the villans are the ones doing it on Disney so we kids understand that is a bad action because the evil person is doing it. This is only the case on Disney telenovelas tho because there are other children telenovelas who are WAY worse at the non-consent thing and go even further on mature themes like teen pregnancy and sex which are very iconic to our culture but they are absolutely insane sometimes (Cris Morena productions are the biggest example of this)
every time i see canon soy luna I forget it's completely different from the version of it that exists in my head. like wdym simón isn't canonically autistic and emilia isn't a lesbian anarcho-communist and it isn't clearly established that ámbar went to therapy at the end of s3?
My headcanon while watching S1 was that both Ambar and Matteo are in love with Luna and neither knows how to deal with it, so Ambar just gets really jealous of Luna instead of facing her feelings, and both Ambar and Matteo continue dating as a ploy to make Luna jealous and fall in love with them Everything both of them does in S1 revolves around Luna I’m like there’s no way you aren’t both wildly in love with her
i hated simbar years ago when I watched the series(probably just because ambar was the villain so 12yo me didnt want her to be happy with my favourite character),but I'm now realising it was actually a better ship than I thought even though I'm still not their biggest fan.anyway I am your biggest fan so here I will be for the next four hours,thank you for your service cait ily❤
10 year old me liked ambar bc I was always obsessed with the teenage girl antagonists in shows and I found the main protagonist annoying for some reason and I stuck with ambar throughout the whole series lol
I can’t believe I watched this nonstop, you did a great job. Love how you cover this ship, maybe you could do Marinette and Adrien!! That would be really interesting and more knowing the whole arc of their superhero personality’s!!!
Yeah the obsessive teen stalker who’s a terrible role model for children and a blind stereotypical blonde boy who fall in love with eachother Adrien get away from that psycho
I request a Gravity Falls Dipper x Pacifica video. There's not a lot in the series itself for this relationship, but Lost Legends and Journal 3 show the two definitely have feelings for one another. It's one ship that I wanted so much more of in the show itself.
One thing I've noticed is that when it shows scenes of Ambar alone on the roller, she's usually on her phone. I wonder what she does during those moments, because talking to friends is not it, since she has very few. Could she be watching people building houses with mud? Or maybe she's watching compilations of the funniest TikToks?
I LOVE these two so much they made me cry sooooooooo much. Ambar is my favourite character ! I have to say tho Luna and Simon weren’t as close as in s1 after their respective relationships.
Only Caitlin can make me sit through a 4 hour video about a ship I’ve never heard of from a show I never watched and leave me so invested in their life that I wanna start watching this show
Thank you for the video, i want to see the series again! This serie was part of my childhood and i think i went to like 6 concerts of them and never get tired!
i can't even explain to you how excited i was to see this in my subscriptions timeline and start watching it, because i saw this ship in a video of yours from years ago and it made me want to watch the show for them, but i don't have access to the platform it's on... so i was hoping you already had this video on your channel, but you didn't. until now, weeks after i thought about it first. you made my day.
Only just started the video but I want to take this moment to say all your past videos talking about Soy Luna a few years ago got me to eventually watch the show when I saw it was on Disney Plus. I finished it I think sometime in early 2023, and absolutely loved it. So thank you Caitlin for getting me to watch this absolutely dramatic but fun show :)
sooo, the video was just sooo long, i don't remember much of what I was gonna write. So, yeah. First of all, I'm a native spanish speaker and I watched it while it was airing being an adult. So, there's that. - While it feels weird, there's an actual time gap between season 2 and 3. Not only in reality, but in fiction, and it has to be around 3 months (if not longer), according to Argentina's school year. So it kinda makes sense, Simon had time to cool off knowing what happened to Ambar with Sharon. - About the "planned from the beginning" thing, they were probably testing chemistry and what it worked in the end. After all, they already had done Blond AntagonistxBest Friend in Violetta. - There's a lottttt things lost in translation. So, I think that does affect the view on certain dialogues translated to English. Plus, I think the subtitles missed a lot of their flirting. Kudos to you for binging this.... Telenovelas are so hard to binge, since they are sooo repetitive and long, especially when aimed to kids. Soo, whoa! ANYWAY; THANK YOUU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO
Since I was a very big fan of Violetta and what they did with Ludmila and his pairing I had the wish the would do the same with Amber falling in love with Simon, and it was that moment they have in her birthday when he sings to her that I KNEW they were gonna end up together
Finally, something I've always wanted... 4 hour video essay about Simbar 🙏🏻 I really love them so much, they were always my favourite Soy Luna ship and they're probably in my top 10 all time favourite Disney ships. They were one of the biggest reasons for me to actually watch Soy Luna, and on rewatches I mostly skip a lot of the scenes except theirs. At first I was really sold on this ship, because Simón was my favourite Soy Luna character, but over time it's actually shifted to Ámbar. I love all of Ámbar's mirror scenes, they're some of my favourite moments from this show. I also really like Simbar's arc in early season 3, I really love that kind of good guy x bad girl type that they're falling into, especially the way that they tease each other even though they know they can't really be together. Personally I never did realize how much Simón was actually in the wrong too, but it did always kind of annoy me how repetitive a lot of the things he said felt, like every second scene they share together he talks about her changing or not changing, which after a while just gets so annoying, like yes, we get it, you (don't) think she's changed, we don't need to hear that again. But something that's never dawned on me was how much of their relationship was actually just a "will they won't they", like this is some Miraculous Adrinette type relationship where it's reaaaally dragged out until the end. Though I do have to give credit to Soy Luna, because Simbar's "will they won't they" is so much more believable than Adrinette's, since Simón actually has a lot of solid reasons to not get together with Ámbar, despite how much he clearly likes her (and vice versa). All in all I really love them so much, though I do wish we could've gotten to see more of them as an actual couple and not just the "will they won't they". Thank you so much for this essay though, I enjoyed it a lot and I loved hearing your thoughts and opinions on them, and you also mentioned a lot of things that I didn't notice/pay attention to before, like Ámbar's wardrobe or their locations.
I think a fun Soy Luna ship that isn't main characters is Mora and Ricardo (Richard as she calls him lol). They have such an interesting love story in season 1, and I think you could make a really good video on them. I'm DYING to see your Lutteo video whenever it comes out. I started watching watching Soy Luna because of you!
FOUR HOURS god *damn* this is me starting a Simbar fic thinking it'd be a short one and now here I am 32 chapters and 6 years later still writing it 😂😂 Love that energy. I hope more people learn about Simbar and love them forever too
I'm always so happy to watch your videos! I'm only at the begging but hearing "Musica en ti" got me so excited! That episode was everything to me when I was 16, from the the tension that Gaston was looking for Felicity to one of the best Soy Luna acustic performance and begging in my eyes of Simbar. I'm still salty about "Musica en ti" Simon version and Simbar version of "Como me ves" not being on CDs. 💜
3:22:25 not so fun fact nonconsensual kisses are really normalized and romantizised in Latin America, majority of people from most latam countries will tell you its normal and a "romantic" thing to do, they even want to either steal or have a kiss stolen (term used a lot, specially when you start liking and experimenting with people aka teen years) here asking for consent when wanting to kiss someone is frowned upon and considered a lame turn off. Its almost the norm to never ask for a kiss (although gladly times are changing and some people are starting to understand why its not okay) but considering soy luna was on the 2010s then it makes sense why it happens so often and why no one "understands" about SA
You explained so well how they did not pop out of nowhere there really were a lot of steps to build their relationship starting with this "Foundation", the way they give each other advice and have REAL conversations, everything is just perfect❤
This is the best ship dynamic honestly. I started watching Soy Luna just for Simon and Ambar, but idk if I got it in me to watch 200 hours of a show I'm not interested in just for a single romantic pairing
simbar always felt a little more mature and complex than the other normal disney ships... to me there were SO many layers to them growing up
Not only that, to me a lot of it comes out because the actors that portrayed them are a similar age and with chemistry.
For example I could never take the main couple Luna and Mateo seriously because the actors that played them are 7 years apart which is objectively noticeable, because the actor that played Mateo first played in Violetta so we're already familiar with him therefore know he is older than the rest of the cast. Continuing on that , plot with Mateo flirting with Luna while being in a relationship falls short because Luna objectively appears to look like a child compared to him given how much younger she is , Ambar genuinely looks more mature so it's more believable.
You don't have that with Simon and Ambar because in real life they are similar ages .
The fact that they actually dated in real life ☠️@@AlexandraM689
yeah but soy luna is a pretty dark show tbh
the way i havent even watched soy luna and yet i will watch a 4 hr video because its caitlin
So,true ❤🎉
Me too literally 😂
Omg same
Cause it's Caitlin😭😭😭
Same ❤
A 4 HOUR VIDEO?!!? Nah you cooked
i’d rather watch a 4 hour yt vid than 2 movies back to back
Also I feel like few people points this out but another reason this couple works so well (besides their crazy chemistry) is because they were perhaps the two strongest actors out of the whole younger cast.
Ambar’s actress gets praised a lot and rightfully so but I almost never see Simon’s actor get the flowers he deserves. His micro expressions and nuanced performance as Simon was brilliant for such a young actor. Their scenes together were just so well acted.
Fr!! Their acting here is SO real 10:44 aaaaa the way she slowly smiles then breaks eye contact, kinda trying to brush it off. This was like one of the first moments where I felt like she had a genuine smile since episode 1. And the way he laughs when he teases her is so genuine as well. It’s so cute I love them
The great thing about Amber's outfits near the end of the show is that they perfectly merge her preppy looks from the start of the show with her more metal looks she later has. Perfectly closing her journey arc.
i feel like pairings in shows are always 1000x better when they involve the supporting cast rather than the main character. it seems more organic i guess. i’ve still not seen this show but i love your recaps, they’re so interesting!
Of course when the main couple often has too much of a age difference - in Violetta and soy Luna main couples were 7 years apart which is objectively noticeable, in Violetta a little less but in soy Luna especially since Luna objectively appears to look like a child, Tini in Violetta was tall even then and they styled her well so she blended with the cast , in general Violetta cast fitted looks wise better despite them too being all different ages .
You just got me invested in a ship in a show I’ve never seen
you're missing out for real
@@florelenav5819 is it on Disney plus
Same here 😂
Let's take a moment to look at Ambar's character from the perspective of other BSC students, especially those who don't go to JR. There's this random girl who is rich, gets top grades, speaks 4 languages, is an athlete (not just for fun - have you seen the number of trophies in her room from pre-Soy Luna?), she sings and dances, she always traveling. she is also pretty and has a pretty boyfriend. Then. one day, out of nowhere, she starts having issues with an even more random immigrant girl who isn't even in her year
LMAO
my gosh 😆
Simôn is better than me because if a pretty girl with pink hair, fishnets and fingerless gloves came up to *me* and asked me stuff I’d fold so quickly
gosh that's so real of you to say
Same
i meant it when i said "dont be shy girl make it 10 hours"
The "I can't love an arsonist" caught me so off guard lmao
I LOST IT AT BENICI-NO , cuz that's exactly how i reacted to him showing at every scene
AMBAR AND SIMON WERE MY FAVESSSSSS I WAS SO OBSESSED WITH THEM😭😭😭 I grew up in Spain when this thing was released and it was HUGE, when they started having chemistry I was genuinely so crazy about them like I looked up edits for the FIRST TIME ever in my life. My first OTP on god
Simbar singin the acoustic ver of Como me ves changed my life as a 12 yr old. Also, the almost-first kiss scene with Jazmín interrupting is literally so iconic ugh love Simbar. Best ship in the show alongside Gastina
SAME!! And watching this scene again when I was 18, now really understanding how lost she felt at this moment and how she finally understood what "feeling the song" meant. THE EMOTION, THEIR VOICE SOUNDING SO GOOD TOGETHER, AND THAT KISS ON HER HAND UGHHHH my favorite scene ever
No bcs the "i can't love an arsonist
my conclusion watching this is that the simbar arc is built on people interrupting them mid-conversation and if they just went somewhere private where no one could reach them when talking, they would've saved themselves so much pain
This applies to every single couple in any telenovelas ever
Yeah is really common in telenovelas the concept of an assault is like mindblowing to them, unless you were screaming and punching the guy is not an "assault", and is sooooo mess up, like I can't.
Yeah. It's true
We're a little bit desensitize about it, mostly because a lot of us grew up watching telenovelas in which worse things happened, like very dark and violent things. So, these scenes in Soy Luna are very tame in comparison.
@@bluecherry1011 am latina so I have watch against my will lol, many telenovelas that are more "traditional" and well known and I have been many times uncomfortable with how normalize is that girls get blame for being assaulted.
Sight
What scene is this comment about?
@@kaydollar2490 is not about a scene, am just trying to day that I have seem worse casses in telenovelas of women being assaulted but no believed.
Is sad but it has to with the sexism in latinoamerica.
@@rowanjoy419 no yeah but what scenes in Soy Luna are sort of assault? I haven’t seen it in a long time
If a Simbar video was 4 hours long I can only imagine the Lutteo video is gonna be double if not more, not that I’d be mad about that at all
since it took me about 2hrs to cover each season of simbar i imagine it would take 6 to cover lutteo 😭
@@caitlinmckillop
You don't have to do it all at once, but spread it over several days
But after Gastina and Simbar we need Lutteo
Please 🙏🏻
😍
@@caitlinmckillop❤
Pls lutteo soon 🙏
@@caitlinmckillopyou could do a part one and part two of the lutteo ship
I think you made me start shipping a couple I never even heard of. Now I have to watch the show just for this couple.
DO ITTT
Yesss, watch it, it´s great
It's funny bcs I started to watch the show for them JJAJSJS
Also I feel like few people points this out but another reason this couple works so well (besides their crazy chemistry) is because they were perhaps the two strongest actors out of the whole younger cast.
Ambar’s actress gets praised a lot and rightfully so but I almost never see Simon’s actor get the flowers he deserves. His micro expressions and nuanced performance as Simon was brilliant for such a young actor. Their scenes together were just so well acted.
It's always kinda funny to me that when Ámbar becomes 'bad,' she commits less crimes than when she was 'good.'
Goth Ambar is a MOOD
It's funny because I still think Lutteo (although only in season 1) is my favorite ship from Soy Luna, it's craaaazy that I didn't at the time truly see the chemistry between Ambar and Simon. I don't think I've ever seen a couple have as much chemistry on a Disney Channel show as Simbar... they just feel like a real couple, if that makes any sense?
Completely unrelated, but in a weird way this video also made me realize that we were robbed of some great Lutteo scenes. Just like Simon kind of got glimpses of what Ambar is struggling with and how she is trying to cope with her family situation in season 2 and 3, I feel like we should have seen something similar with Lutteo. I think that would have made their relationship feel more real tbh. And though I still adore Lutteo, your video really made me realize that Simbar has the deeper relationship (and that makes the pay-off so much better!^^)
The fact that I'm watching this at 24 gives me great optimism for when/if I ever become a parent and have to sit through hours of disney shows.
3:37:27 Totally. Her outfit at the end is a mix of goth mettalic black and pinky girly colors, which is like showing that this both sides are a part of her. That she found her true self
I haven't seen a single episode of Soy Luna, but as a native Spanish speaker I'm suprised at just how good the actress that potrays Ambar is.
Also loving that the actors actually look like kids.
How good her acting is? Because same
@virginiafernandez6846 parecen niños porque la mayoría lo eran, creo que el mas mayor en la primera temporada tenía 22
As a fan of your channel from South America, I must say your spanish is really good! Ámbar was in my opinion the best character in the entire series and they were simply my favourite ship! I can't wait to clear my schedule to watch your thoughts on them! :')
bestie I'm so happy your passion project video is finally out! ❤ the way that your videos helped introduce the magic of soy luna to english speaking audiences wayyy before it was even available to us on disney plus?! truly iconic behaviour!👏 I'm so thankful for the friendship we built through our love of this show! forever a proud member of the simbar council 🥰
stop you’re gonna make me cryyy 😭
From someone from South America I'm glad Simbar was covered, their chemistry is out of this world. I just love a good boy x bad girl trope
You should do a video about underrated/underappreciated Disney Channel/Disney ships. For all the problematic couples on Disney Channel (with a few exceptions) we need more attention on the healthy ships.
She has done a video on Gastina who pretty much are the healthiest main ship from DCLA
Simón: Como puedes hablar de amor si estás llena de odio 💔
Esa línea de diálogo
🥺
4 HOURS? 10/10, amamos 😂 me encanta escucharte hablar español, es lo que más me gusta de estos videos de series latinas
ayyee gracias 🥰🥰
i've been waiting for this video for literally all my life
2:31:30 man I love this moment, him being like "fuck anything else going on, fuck the hurt you've caused, you're clearly hurting and I'm there for you" is the most simón shit ever, he's the fucking best
hi caitlin! this video makes me sooooo happy. 4 years ago at this point, I discovered your channel. You introduced Soy Luna to me and I cannot describe how much joy it literally brought me. Quarantine was a messed up time for me, so having a brand new hyperfixation was the greatest thing ever. To this day I still consider Soy Luna my favorite show of all time and I’m not ashamed of saying it. Thank you so much for introducing this show to me and for covering my dear simbar in this video! Love you! 💟
Its been´a long time since I last rewatched this show and now I really have a new found appreciation for all the symbolic things they did, like with the locations and styling and especially Ambers mirror scenes. Also your chapter titles are iconic
I find it so interesting that you interpreted the song como me ves as about her relationship with her mirror and i interpreted it as about her relationship with her godmother
35:43 I love him kissing her hand. It such a simbar thing
While Simón wasn't victim of Benicio's assault, he was in fact still a victim of his trick and manipulation, not a victim of something as bad as Ámbar was, not of assault, but it's incorrect to say that he wasn't a victim in that situation at all or to say he wasn't just bc he wasn't the most affected from it. What Benicio did wasn't just to trick Ámbar but both of them, he wanted her kiss to get her and he wanted Simón to see it to think Ámbar is still with him and be done with her, he's actively being trick into thinking Ámbar did something she didn't, so we can't blame him for it. It's not excuses and it's not justifing him to be able to keep loving him but simply the truth. I get is hard to see Ámbar get all his rage after she went through something so horrible, but it doesn't mean he's in the wrong, none of them is, just Benicio. And actually the fact that he actually got someone to direct even a part of the blame of how things went in this situation with his trick and assault to hurt both, shows how effective it was, which is horrible, being you in this case who is doing the same Simón does, but worse as you have the whole context, which shows what stuff like this can cause on people who sees it, which is really sad and frustrating. So yeah, it is a mess, but it's not something to take sides on or to have to make an effort to justify each one, in a "maybe he can come from this side" way, that's simply unfair.
And you nailed it on your part about how you need full trust to believe someone you just saw kissing another person actually had a good reason to, when actually nothing would really explain such thing, and how she betrayed his trust countless times so he's right about believing she did just kiss him willingly, but that also does involve wanting to listen to her, even if as you said the miscommunication trope is hella annoying, here it is prefectly justified and not something to call someone in the wrong for (aside from Benicio obviously) and feeling like the right thing is for them to listen (and ofc it also incorrect to take that whole argument back just bc he's on the same mood the next day); or like he should do it bc he knows Benicio just bc Ámbar is someone who has treated him terribly meany times but simply not as terrible as Benicio, bc it's not how trust works nor someone should give more trust to someone who lost it just bc there's someone worse involved, especially since this is not a case about something only Benicio would do and Ámbar would never, as it is in fact something they both have done countless times, so he's fully in the right and can't be seen as someone who fell for something he shouldn't, like he's incompetent or should act differently in given situation, his entire reaction is totally logical and valid, that's why Ámbar herself, as the show, say it explicitly, bc the reality is that anyone is his place would have reacted the same, even Ámbar, you or me, and it's also the reason why he apologizes bc of what the horrible situation was and what she had to go through rather than him being in the wrong, as he wasn't (different would have been if she did get to tell him she was assaulted and he would have screamed at her it wasn't true, as assault declarations should always be paid attention to, but this is not what happened at all. What he didn't believe from her was that she didn't kiss him as she said at the start, bc he saw it, and then when she said that she did do it but for a reason, which he doesn't have to be able to guess and actually can't nor listen as I already explained, and that's simply a totally differet thing so he did no wrong), and why she recognizes that in fact he wasn't at fault at all but just Benicio for tricking them both which is why his apology wasn't in fact necessary bc there's nothing he did.
While you see some of Ámbar mistakes and see many times when Simón has a point, correct perspective or directly take his side, you use to do it way more towards Ámbar than towards him, even when she has an incorrect point, perspective or is directly in the wrong and/or when he's in the right or at least has the point or one on his part, as with perspective. It is something I get how could happen at least, since she's such an amazing character we all love, her situation was a really bad one we can even feel more close to, she suffers a lot and she's in fact the best written character of the show.
This is no hate ofc, not hating on you, your opinion or want to start a fight, just something I noticed and wanted to point out to share as I do believe this is such an important thing to explain.
They are literally the best thing ever and honestly even if they are like main characters I did not except them to end up together but I am so glad they did
Not even gonna lie, I don’t watch this show and have zero clue about what’s going on but seeing your excitement about a Disney show is infectious and warms my heart, that you have something you love so much 🥰
I waited soo long for this and almost had a heart attack in the beginning thinking you would speak spanish the whole 4 hours🥹
I love Simón and Âmbar so much! 😍
Did I watch the whole video? Yes, I did.
Og fan here, some fun/curious facts about Simbar…
1. You definitely gave the writers WAY MORE credit than they deserved. Although they deliberately did some of the parallels, I don’t think they were clever enough to incorporate symbolisms in their body language and quotes, especially considering that this was meant for little kids. Trust me, they left too many plot holes and didn’t bother to gave any character besides the main 4 any arcs in the 3 seasons to do that.
2. Although it’s true that Simbar happened because of the fans, they definitely put the crumbs you saw there aiming for some story between them. Basically those crumbs were the reason why we saw the potential in the shipp.
3. The video of the first duet between Ámbar and Simón in the Roller Jam dropped the night before the episode aired (not sure if by accident or not) but it got the fandom CRAZY. I remember watching it like a dozen times trying to put the pieces together.
4. Someone posted a bts photo of the final bench scene before even the first episode of season 3 aired, so we crazy fans thought that scene was going to be a huge deal and began creating all sources of theories so, even when it was beautiful, turned out to be a huge bummer in the end.
Like you, I could talk about Simbar forever. Definitely became what it did because the chemistry between the actors and I forever cherish everything about that era 🤍
We need that Suite life of Zach and Cody: Bailey and Cody, probably the wrost Disney relationship
Girl you ate! ...A 4hrs video🗣 of my fav ship I'M OBVIOUSLY WATCHING THE WHOLE THING!
3:13:24 By the way this scene when she tells Emilia and Benicio that they are not friends anymore and she is not interested in being on their team is so good. Love this moment for her. She just stood up for what's right for her
To defend Simon here, you do have to see the circumstances in which the assault happened. It was at a party that, let's be honest here, Ambar threw only because Simon was feeling homesick, and i think that added to the hurt. Like Simon thinks she did something amazingly sweet for him, only for her to pull the rug from under him, from his perspective. I think he had very different expectations for this party. And Amber has had a history of hurting him. This situation isn't that much different to when she insisted that she was sorry, only to then join the sliders, or when she lied about being done with Benicio only for him to find out she was his accomplice. He was so hurt that he couldn't see Amber's story as sincere. And you have to remember, this is the same girl who thought there was nothing wrong with her dating someone while continuing to flirt with him.
From Simon's pov Amber went from flirting with him, kissing Benicio, back to flirting with him like nothing happened in the same night.
And it took him only 2 days to realize the truth. Because, after he calmed down and saw the video, he could finally recognize just how upset Amber was and how sincere her explanation was.
And when he believes she and Benicio are dating again and that's the secret call she got, I always saw that as Simon's insecurities and jealousy blinding him.
To him, this was Amber making the wrong choice, again, and hurting him for entertainment while refusing to admit or take responsibility for it.
By my count they made Atleast 14 custom rollerskates for all the characters. I haven’t finished the show yet so more could appear but it’s super cool that everyone of the main kids has a unique pair to them
Nothing ever beats “me encantas” no perfect direct translation, but roughly you charm/ enchant me.
I think a more proper translation would be "I adore you" or something like that, no? Same as "me gustas" isn't really "you're liked by me" but actually more of "I like you". The "me" works in spanish but in translation doesn't work so well.
Imagine being the first writer to suggest those two being a couple and watching everyone around the table realise how perfect of an idea that is
Fun fact! It wasn't even the writers' idea. People started shipping them on social media and they took the idea from them. A writer confirmed it on Twitter back in the day when the show was still airing. So I guess you can say it started as fanservice but boooy, I'm so glad we were served! 😂
@ImagineAway i love it!
I absolutely need you to talk about Dipcifica (Dipper and Pacifica) from Gravity Falls, I know they don’t have lots of moments but I want you to analyze it a bit
The way I’ve never watched this show in my life but now I feel like I absolutely have to because your description has just captivated me 😭😭💖
I love how you keep making videos of Soy Luna caitlin, even if there's people that didn't watched the show or don't know about its existence you keep doing it cause you love it so I respect that a lot ❤
I have started watching (and since also finished) Soy Luna about a month ago because of some of your videos and it immediatley became my favorite Disney show of all time. This video coming right now just brought me so much joy (even if Lutteo is my favorite ship) 🥺
Imagine if she does a Lutteo video. Given that Simbar was four hours long, I bet Lutteo will be around 6 hours!
Thank you so much for covering Soy Luna and other LA shows! I'm so happy you're exposing people in the English-speaking world to these relatively unknown shows that I love so much!
First gastina now simbar, when will be lutteo turn? I would love you to do this section with all main couples of Soy Luna (even the ones who didn't end up together)
we need a lutteo one
Another relationship progression that i love from this show is between símon and matteo, like i find it very wholesome and cute how they went from enemies to friends as well🤭❤️
I would've loved if you had seen Casi Angeles, an Argentinian telenovela with 500+ episodes, just to have a video like this on one of the main couples, Mar and Thiago. And actually Ambar's actress portrays a character in the last season, with the same name as me, Alai.
It was actually transmitted in Disney channel for a while, but was taken down when they began portraying more mature storylines
casi angeles, rebelde, aliados and clase 406 are so goooooood
Siiii
Who's your favorite couple from Clase 406? @@kimgyuvinist
SI CASI ANGELES
OMG ALIADOS SIII
1:20:53 Idk what’s with Disney Latin America and Non-con kissing. I honestly think it’s disgusting that they show this on a show that is meant for CHILDREN. First it was the kiss between Diego and Violetta (which I haven’t watch the show yet, but I heard it was handled horribly) then it’s Benicio and Ambar (twice is ridiculous) and the third one which I feel like people tend to forget is the Emelia and Matteo kiss which pissed me off so much when I watched the show. (I’m glad you mentioned it in this video) There’s probably more kisses in this show that are non-con but I don’t feel like going through all of them right now. I haven’t finished Bia yet, but if they had a non-con kiss I wouldn’t be surprised and if it’s not there, then there was probably gonna be one in the third season.
I think is a cultural thing. It's a VERY common trope in telenovelas of any kind not only Disney Channel ones. It is often used for drama so we latinamericans are kind of use to it (I'm assuming you are not latinamerican but I'm might be mistaken), but we obviously know is wrong. It is often used with villans on Disney Channel tho, so we are meant to associate it with evil (which obviously doesn't make it right, it just a thing I noticed)
@@agosgregor That’s understandable. You’re right I’m not Latin American, but I just find it weird that they did that here with the audiences are towards kids. I think I was going on a rant here because this is something that has bothered me for some time. And knowing how they handled the Violetta plot-line makes me frustrated.
@@CharlizeL5151 Yes, It's totally fair to feel that way! But as I said, the villans are the ones doing it on Disney so we kids understand that is a bad action because the evil person is doing it. This is only the case on Disney telenovelas tho because there are other children telenovelas who are WAY worse at the non-consent thing and go even further on mature themes like teen pregnancy and sex which are very iconic to our culture but they are absolutely insane sometimes (Cris Morena productions are the biggest example of this)
every time i see canon soy luna I forget it's completely different from the version of it that exists in my head. like wdym simón isn't canonically autistic and emilia isn't a lesbian anarcho-communist and it isn't clearly established that ámbar went to therapy at the end of s3?
My headcanon while watching S1 was that both Ambar and Matteo are in love with Luna and neither knows how to deal with it, so Ambar just gets really jealous of Luna instead of facing her feelings, and both Ambar and Matteo continue dating as a ploy to make Luna jealous and fall in love with them
Everything both of them does in S1 revolves around Luna I’m like there’s no way you aren’t both wildly in love with her
@@lauraj6694 id like to see that lolll
i hated simbar years ago when I watched the series(probably just because ambar was the villain so 12yo me didnt want her to be happy with my favourite character),but I'm now realising it was actually a better ship than I thought even though I'm still not their biggest fan.anyway I am your biggest fan so here I will be for the next four hours,thank you for your service cait ily❤
omg, you're too real😭
I fell exactly the same way
10 year old me liked ambar bc I was always obsessed with the teenage girl antagonists in shows and I found the main protagonist annoying for some reason and I stuck with ambar throughout the whole series lol
I can’t believe I watched this nonstop, you did a great job. Love how you cover this ship, maybe you could do Marinette and Adrien!! That would be really interesting and more knowing the whole arc of their superhero personality’s!!!
Yeah the obsessive teen stalker who’s a terrible role model for children and a blind stereotypical blonde boy who fall in love with eachother
Adrien get away from that psycho
Son 4 horas de contenido de una serie que no he visto completa que veré con gusto porque ese ship siempre me gusto.
En fin, que bendicion, gracias.
I request a Gravity Falls Dipper x Pacifica video. There's not a lot in the series itself for this relationship, but Lost Legends and Journal 3 show the two definitely have feelings for one another. It's one ship that I wanted so much more of in the show itself.
i agree!
No because this video if so tied to my reunited obsession with this ship!!! I just want what they have your honor!!!!!
One thing I've noticed is that when it shows scenes of Ambar alone on the roller, she's usually on her phone. I wonder what she does during those moments, because talking to friends is not it, since she has very few. Could she be watching people building houses with mud? Or maybe she's watching compilations of the funniest TikToks?
I LOVE these two so much they made me cry sooooooooo much. Ambar is my favourite character ! I have to say tho Luna and Simon weren’t as close as in s1 after their respective relationships.
God I haven't watched these final moments in a bit, I used to replay them again and again, they make me SO HAPPY!
I'm so happy you made this video. Tbh I only started watching this show because you kept talking about it so highly. I love this show now 😂
I only know of this show because of your channel. I have still never seen an episode. But did I watch almost 4 hours on the relationships?
Yes.
Only Caitlin can make me sit through a 4 hour video about a ship I’ve never heard of from a show I never watched and leave me so invested in their life that I wanna start watching this show
Thank you for the video, i want to see the series again! This serie was part of my childhood and i think i went to like 6 concerts of them and never get tired!
i can't even explain to you how excited i was to see this in my subscriptions timeline and start watching it, because i saw this ship in a video of yours from years ago and it made me want to watch the show for them, but i don't have access to the platform it's on... so i was hoping you already had this video on your channel, but you didn't. until now, weeks after i thought about it first. you made my day.
"It's really hsrd for her not to look pretty" I know exactly how Simón feels... MAN I miss her!
2:07:21 I love that she gone for it. She didn't think what Emilia would think. This smile tells you everything
Only just started the video but I want to take this moment to say all your past videos talking about Soy Luna a few years ago got me to eventually watch the show when I saw it was on Disney Plus. I finished it I think sometime in early 2023, and absolutely loved it. So thank you Caitlin for getting me to watch this absolutely dramatic but fun show :)
sooo, the video was just sooo long, i don't remember much of what I was gonna write. So, yeah.
First of all, I'm a native spanish speaker and I watched it while it was airing being an adult. So, there's that.
- While it feels weird, there's an actual time gap between season 2 and 3. Not only in reality, but in fiction, and it has to be around 3 months (if not longer), according to Argentina's school year. So it kinda makes sense, Simon had time to cool off knowing what happened to Ambar with Sharon.
- About the "planned from the beginning" thing, they were probably testing chemistry and what it worked in the end. After all, they already had done Blond AntagonistxBest Friend in Violetta.
- There's a lottttt things lost in translation. So, I think that does affect the view on certain dialogues translated to English. Plus, I think the subtitles missed a lot of their flirting.
Kudos to you for binging this.... Telenovelas are so hard to binge, since they are sooo repetitive and long, especially when aimed to kids. Soo, whoa!
ANYWAY; THANK YOUU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO
Since I was a very big fan of Violetta and what they did with Ludmila and his pairing I had the wish the would do the same with Amber falling in love with Simon, and it was that moment they have in her birthday when he sings to her that I KNEW they were gonna end up together
The sad part is that Fedemila is broken up in the movie.
Now I need a lutteo one
you should do a video on your favorite disney channel meet-cutes, and your favorite disney channel dates
I would just like to say that i love "claroscuro" reprise or acustic ver sooooo much. I wish there wss an official version of that 😍
5:31 i think ambar wanted the confirmation about their relationship so that she can tell mateo to back up from luna
Finally, something I've always wanted... 4 hour video essay about Simbar 🙏🏻
I really love them so much, they were always my favourite Soy Luna ship and they're probably in my top 10 all time favourite Disney ships. They were one of the biggest reasons for me to actually watch Soy Luna, and on rewatches I mostly skip a lot of the scenes except theirs.
At first I was really sold on this ship, because Simón was my favourite Soy Luna character, but over time it's actually shifted to Ámbar. I love all of Ámbar's mirror scenes, they're some of my favourite moments from this show. I also really like Simbar's arc in early season 3, I really love that kind of good guy x bad girl type that they're falling into, especially the way that they tease each other even though they know they can't really be together.
Personally I never did realize how much Simón was actually in the wrong too, but it did always kind of annoy me how repetitive a lot of the things he said felt, like every second scene they share together he talks about her changing or not changing, which after a while just gets so annoying, like yes, we get it, you (don't) think she's changed, we don't need to hear that again.
But something that's never dawned on me was how much of their relationship was actually just a "will they won't they", like this is some Miraculous Adrinette type relationship where it's reaaaally dragged out until the end. Though I do have to give credit to Soy Luna, because Simbar's "will they won't they" is so much more believable than Adrinette's, since Simón actually has a lot of solid reasons to not get together with Ámbar, despite how much he clearly likes her (and vice versa).
All in all I really love them so much, though I do wish we could've gotten to see more of them as an actual couple and not just the "will they won't they".
Thank you so much for this essay though, I enjoyed it a lot and I loved hearing your thoughts and opinions on them, and you also mentioned a lot of things that I didn't notice/pay attention to before, like Ámbar's wardrobe or their locations.
I think a fun Soy Luna ship that isn't main characters is Mora and Ricardo (Richard as she calls him lol). They have such an interesting love story in season 1, and I think you could make a really good video on them. I'm DYING to see your Lutteo video whenever it comes out. I started watching watching Soy Luna because of you!
2:07:11 I know in the context of the Shows timeline this moment isn't great but also MAN this scene is SO CUTE HOLY FUCK!
1:45:07 the saddest thing here is that she was really upset in that moment and if she only had someone to talk to she wouldn't do that
FOUR HOURS god *damn* this is me starting a Simbar fic thinking it'd be a short one and now here I am 32 chapters and 6 years later still writing it 😂😂 Love that energy. I hope more people learn about Simbar and love them forever too
If you think I'm just gonna sit here and watch a 4 hour long video of you just talking about simbar, you are absolutely right
I'm always so happy to watch your videos! I'm only at the begging but hearing "Musica en ti" got me so excited! That episode was everything to me when I was 16, from the the tension that Gaston was looking for Felicity to one of the best Soy Luna acustic performance and begging in my eyes of Simbar. I'm still salty about "Musica en ti" Simon version and Simbar version of "Como me ves" not being on CDs. 💜
The time and energy you put into this video is amazing! I fell in love with the characters and music of Soy Luna from your channel so thank you.
3:22:25 not so fun fact nonconsensual kisses are really normalized and romantizised in Latin America, majority of people from most latam countries will tell you its normal and a "romantic" thing to do, they even want to either steal or have a kiss stolen (term used a lot, specially when you start liking and experimenting with people aka teen years) here asking for consent when wanting to kiss someone is frowned upon and considered a lame turn off. Its almost the norm to never ask for a kiss (although gladly times are changing and some people are starting to understand why its not okay) but considering soy luna was on the 2010s then it makes sense why it happens so often and why no one "understands" about SA
Did I just sit and watch four hours of simbar even though I already knew every single one of their moments? yes. yes i did.
Calling símon Simon feeling like a crime is sooo true.
yessss even in the german dub they called him símon and not simon (german Pronunciation) and i am so happy they did that
please tell me a five hour Lutteo video is coming
it would probably be six actually 😂
@@caitlinmckillopwe will all wait for however long you take, I personally love long videos)
off topic but your hair is SO CUTE in this style!!
You explained so well how they did not pop out of nowhere there really were a lot of steps to build their relationship starting with this "Foundation", the way they give each other advice and have REAL conversations, everything is just perfect❤
"dark" Ambar remind me of Avril Lavigne so much.
does this mean we're getting a LUTTEO video as well???? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
thank you!!! I was having a bad day and now you switched it with this video 🥰
Thank you for this video! I even cried a little bit when I saw it in my recommendations. And also the names of every chapter are just perfect hahahah
This is the best ship dynamic honestly. I started watching Soy Luna just for Simon and Ambar, but idk if I got it in me to watch 200 hours of a show I'm not interested in just for a single romantic pairing
