Maya: (Turns around) You don’t want this. Some might say the great mystery of the universe is who’s gonna be the first Mrs. In the first episode, Farkle is introduced thusly:įarkle: I’ve been in love with Riley since the first grade. In comparison, Girl Meets World sets Farkle up to be the annoying, smart but awkward looking character who is also completely enamored with both Riley and Maya equally. Jessie: (to Zuri) well, if Milly can flop downstairs, she is welcome to eat with us. Luke: Well, I like my friends real, especially my lady friends… (Smiling at Jessie, Jessie pushes him away) Zuri: I’m already eating dinner with my friend, Milly the Mermaid!Įmma: (to Jessie) Zuri has imaginary friends. (Jessie just stares at Luke for a moment, then turns to Zuri’s door) Luke: And Jessie, don’t you think having a bunch of kids on our date is kinda gonna kill the mood?
Jessie: Just hold your boeuf! (Emma walks in, holding a plate of food and her phone) From now on, we’re all going to have dinner together…Įmma: Eww, no, I can’t eat and look at Luke at the same time!
Luke: But I instructed Bertram to make us boeuf bourguignon!…with extra boeuf! Jessie: (takes the flowers and puts them in a vase) We don’t have a date. Luke: (knocking on Jessie’s door) Hey, babe! (Jessie opens the door) Ready for our date? (Produces flowers from his tux) (Scene changes to in the hallway with the children’s and Jessie’s bedrooms. Luke: Oh well, ours will be a forbidden love… Luke: (runs in, apparently was spying) Mom! Can I date the new nanny?! What is troubling is the following scenes in this first episode: From the first time that Luke sees Jessie, in the first episode, he’s entranced by her looks. In the first episode of Jessie, Luke is set up to be the unrequited love character but also the typical handsome, spoiled, not-smart rich kid. Jessie, by contrast, makes Luke nothing more than a fictional representation of rape culture. Both Jessie and Girl Meets World have the ubiquitous “boy character who pines for the girl.” Girl Meets World makes Farkle an off-putting but ultimately lovable, respectful character. However, when done correctly, people can look into that mirror as though it were a magical looking glass showing them what the world should be. As the mirror into which people peer, it can show them the world in which they live.
Popular culture reflects and influences societal beliefs. “Never touch or kiss a girl without her permission.” You need to know that it is ok to kiss a girl or touch her without her permission. And he keeps touching her and making comments about kissing her.” He kisses Jessie without asking her permission. “But, look at Farkle, see how even though he’s talking to girls about liking them, he doesn’t touch them and doesn’t make them uncomfortable? That’s different from Luke on Jessie. “Kiddo, do you see the difference between the kids on Girl Meets World and Jessie?”
