^^ I totally agree with you in regards to Vasudev. It's becoming such a rampant and popular belief nowadays that "strong" people are only those who get angry and outwardly lose control of their emotions. Strength is measured by physical prowess and even when acting out physically seems a foolish choice, that is what people think strong people must do.

The quiet, inner strength, the silence when faced with injustice, is seen as a sign of weakness by today's society, but in reality, a truly intelligent person thinks before he acts. He (or she) will not lose control of himself and behave rashly. He will calculate the risks of all actions before committing to one of them. In certain situations, keeping quiet is a part of seeking justice. It's important to pick one's battle.

We can never expect them to show facts as they were

Look at what they have done to Kansa

He has been made a comic charecter

This is still about the LORD so it won't seen that bad but sometimes they take normal human charecter and make them into glorified hero's who were exemplary and did no wrong. Like shows on many historical and mythological characters

@ bold actually the opposite is true

Those who loose there temper are actually week. They loose control on themselves and sometimes inferiority complex also triggers anger .

Pitashree Vasudeva was a person with inner strength. When you look at it, every father or mother, almost all characters, whether Ramayana or Mahabharata, have a great amount of inner strength. That is how they had the serenity and the presence of mind on what to do when. They were emotionally very strong.

They have shown Radharani as Avatar of lakshmi.

I am not really sure about this but i have heard she was a oart if Vishnu himself. Can soneone clarify ??

Also now how will they show Rukmini? Wasnt she the Lakshmu Avtar? Atleast i read that in mahabharat

Also i have read all Asgtabharya were the avtar of Ashtalajshmi? Is that true?

Radharani was indeed an Avatara of Mahalakshmi. Rather, she was the poorna Avatara of Mahalakshmi, like Sita was. Though she exhibited more characteristics of Nila Devi.

Lakshmi is also a part of Vishnu. She came from Him, and Her full forms are Sita and Radha.

Rukmini is Shridevi, Satyabhama Bhudevi, and it is rumoured that the other six were all forms of Nila Devi.

The Mahabharata also states that Satyabhama is a direct avatara of Mahalakshmi as well.

The term 'purna avatara' is interesting. It makes one think that Mahalakshmi in all her glory leaves Vaikunta when she incarnates on Earth, but that is not true. Every time an incarnation happens, Mahalakshmi and Maha Vishnu reside in Vaikunta. It is their eternal abode and they never 'leave' it to incarnate on Earth. So while Rama, Sita, Krishna and Radha were all purna avatars, their ultimate forms still resided in Vaikunta.

In fact, I also believe Rukmini and Satyabhama were purna avatars. The ashtabharya were not superior to each other, but Rukmini and Satyabhama are generally held a step above to the rest, mainly because the epics describe them as being complete incarnations, while the other six were ansh. The Bhagavatham describes Rukmini as a purna avatar, while the Mahabharata describes Satyabhama as purna avatar, and thus I believe these two were also equal to Radha in being the purna forms of Mahalakshmi.

There is a stotra that says chanting Rukmini and Satyabhama's name along with Krishna's is equal to chanting all eight of the ashtabharya's name. In fact, Krishna's name should never be chanted alone. One should either chant him with Radha, or Rukmini-Satyabhama.
