Jimmy Jr. X Tina - Blog Posts

I Decided to Analyze the Kisses From "UFO No You Didn’t" Just Because:

At first, I just wanted to see the time duration between the kisses Tina did with Jimmy Jr. and Zeke to see how long she did for both of them. I figured I might as well go further and analyze what was going on during the kisses. Since Tina kissed Jimmy Jr. first I'll start with him.

Okay, to start off the kiss overall lasts around 4 seconds which fun fact, the average time duration of a kiss nowadays is 12 seconds according to my brief research on Google. In the 1980s the time duration was 5.5 seconds which Tina was closer to. Though nobody well-adjusted wants to see 13-year-olds kissing for 12 seconds, so glad Tina didn't go fully for either average for what she thought would be her last kiss with JJu. Anyway, as the kiss goes on JJu is basically in shell shock for the duration of the kiss. Not much eye movement to try to process what is happening. Though it's clear that JJu is so shocked that his arms go limp and he loses his backpack in the process. Tina kisses JJu with so much force that they still move slightly as Tina turns her head to make sure her kiss gets every part of his mouth. When Tina first turns her head I notice that JJu's eyebrow does lift up, assumingly because he didn't expect her to deepen the kiss on top of not being expected to be kissed in the first place. His raised eyebrow only lasts for a bit though and it goes back to the normal shell-shocked position when Tina turns her head again. Lastly, and the most interesting part of the kiss in my opinion is the last turn of the head Tina does. Once she turns her head to the last side of JJu's face, he lifts his arm up. Even in his shell-shock state, he still instinctively lifts his arm up. Though, we'll never know if it's because he wanted to push her off or if he wanted to embrace her. Tina ended it before he could do anything with his arms. Though given his reaction of "Whoa" as Tina ran away, it's more likely the latter was the case.

Though even if the kiss did last longer, knowing JJu he most likely would have left his arms like that and have no idea what to do with them because he's a dumb, teenage boy who can't handle that much intimacy.

That's all I can think of to talk about for that kiss. Now onto my favorite one, to no one's surprise.

For Zeke's kiss, it lasts about 2 seconds. That's not surprising seeing as Zeke was never going to get the longer kiss of the two at this point in time. However, what's special about this kiss at the start is that the animators went out of their way to zoom in on Tina kissing Zeke. That's interesting because they didn't put in the effort to turn the medium-long shot into a medium shot for Jimmy Jr. and Tina's kiss. The camera zoom clearly symbolizes the shock Zeke is feeling and emphasizes the shock the audience is supposed to feel at this moment. Though it's also possible they didn't zoom in for JJu because they wanted the audience to notice the arm lift more when it happened.

What's interesting about the start of Tina's kiss to Zeke is that she starts her kiss with her head tilted and then moves it back to it being straight, unlike Jimmy Jr's kiss where she started straight and tilted it both ways as the kiss went on. It's safe to assume it's because she wasn't running towards Zeke for a kiss and was prepared to be more calculated in her kiss. In short, she wasn't going to break her nose for Zeke. Since Zeke only has 2 seconds, he has even less time to react to anything that is happening. He's so shocked that his arms are stiff in place as Tina pulls his backpack straps. Even with his shorter time duration, Zeke's mental reaction time is still faster than JJu's in that his eyebrows raise even higher for a second time (the first was when Tina first pulled on his backpack straps) and his pupils dart up and back in place, not believing what is happening (the pupils darting up and down is my favorite part of this moment X3). After his pupils finish moving, Tina pushes Zeke's backpack straps back with so much force that his arms swing a bit, showing how shocked Zeke was by the whole ordeal. No matter how fast his mental reaction was, it was clearly never going to translate fast enough physically.

After that Tina leaves the poor boy stiff as a board, wondering what the heck just happened.

The episode goes on and even if JJu had the clearly more intimate kiss, he never brings up the kiss even when it's revealed why she did what she did. Meanwhile, despite having the less intimate kiss, Zeke makes it clear that he's open to another kiss in the next apocalypse. Then he immediately drops the playful teasing once Jimmy Jr. gets suspicious of Zeke's wording. Knowing how jealous JJu can get and not wanting to hurt him, Zeke distracts him with wrestling.

I think that's about all I can add to this analysis of the two kisses. Hope you enjoyed reading it. I'll end this by saying, Jimmy Jr. may have got the longer kiss, but Zeke would always have Tina's last kiss that episode and that's more important in my book. XD Also here are some funny screenshots of Zeke's smile turning into a frown once he realizes he screwed up. XD
