The Soren redemption arc somehow became my favorite part of the show. Also, Amaya is the shit. Amazing how a mute character conveys so much so well.

Right? They've been really good about conveying what she's saying by body language and facial expressions.

I get it when people say they want subtitles, but she's such a unique character in that we can understand so much with so little. I wouldn't want her to lose that.

I really enjoy that there are no subtitles for Amaya. Deaf people have to go through life without fully engaging in spoken conversation. We can go through a kid's show demonstrating a smidge of that imbalance, just the other way.

It will hopefully prompt viewers to ask about sign language and maybe learn some out if curiosity or genuine interest.

And the show does a great job showing us what Amaya has to do to understand those around her, such as close ups of lip reading. She is demonstrative, as the deaf community has to be, by using facial expressions and body language as well. It gets the message across.

Great point. Really great point. This certainly made me reach out to friends who know ASL. Point for you
