To a certain point it does, but you have to manage the kid. I think the best advice we got was “don’t tell the kid it’s time, tell the kid they got a minute then it’s time. Start a one minute hourglass. The kid will understand and mentally be ready.”

This works wonderfully. “In one minute we’ll turn off tv and brush your teeth.” That’s it. You’re not taking his toy out of nowhere anymore, you made a pact with them and they know exactly what’s going to happen.

Sometimes it doesn’t work; that’s because the kid is too tired or emotional. That’s still on the parent for not reading and managing the cues.

MRW hologram Barclay is trying to rizz up Seven in "Inside Man"

That’s the thing. Picard has a trauma. She lost her identity, childhood, sense of belonging. It’s entirely different.

Like Bane said, “you merely adopted the borg. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t anything of humanity until I was already a (wo)man.”

Edit: Also, isn’t it addressed at some point that, for 7o9, her trauma was actually to leave the borg and not being in it?

They’re both products of their times. The squid made sense in a time where comic books weren’t as grounded as they are today.

Also a squid makes more sense when you actually foreshadow a squid. The movie would have had to shoehorn that in through the plot and that would have been a mess.

It was cleaner. Different medium, different capabilities.
