So far:

1) Israel is still carpet bombing Gaza.

2) Israel is raiding parts of the West Bank, including Bethlehem (on Christmas mind you.)

2) Israel is bombing villages in Lebanon (using White Phosphorus).

3) Israel airstriked Syria.

4) Israel informed Egypt to evacuate the borders (Rafah) with intentions of pushing Gazans out of Gaza and ethnically cleansing them.

It's not a conflict. It's not a "war". It's not just some "Middle Eastern crisis". We're watching a DOCUMENTED genocide. We're watching ethnic cleansing happening live before our eyes.

Y’all hate me bc I’m gay. And no, don’t say it’s bc of “murders” or “blackmail” or “stealing” or “genocide” or “threatening to kill” or “unlicensed midwifery” or “inventing communism” or “atheism” or “witchcraft” or “defacing the pyramids” or “breaking curfews” or “creating curfews” or “making my mate eat his toe”. Y’all don’t care about that shit. Y’all hate me cus I’m gay and that’s disgusting.

this is what i’m talking about… this is fucked up

allow me to discuss panic! at the disco. 

I hate hate hate how Brendon was the one to announce the fact that Panic was dead. He’s the one that ruined Panic and he’s the one that kills it? 

Panic was Ryan Ross’ band and it was never the same after him and Jon left. The thing that bothers me the most is how it was a band. Ryan, Brendon, Jon, and Spencer. And the second they were gone Brendon made it all about him. Even when Spencer was still there and when Dallon was in the band, he did not try to hide the fact that he viewed himself as a solo act with a band behind him. And that kills me. There is such a huge difference between a solo performer with a band and a band. He just totally took over something that was not his own, personal thing to take. What was the reason to keep the Panic name? He should’ve put on his big boy pants and just make music under Brendon Urie instead. 

AND he couldn’t even make good music or be a good person either? The music up to Death of a Bachelor was not terrible (some of it being good, typically when Dallon or Pete Wentz were writers) but the last two albums were basically dogshit (especially the last one whatever the fuck it’s called). And it’s not even just the production and writing that make it bad but Brendon’s voice sounded awful! He fucked up his voice somehow and it is so obvious in official recordings of those songs.

And he’s a shitty ass person. And he has been a shitty ass person for so long. Literally shitting all over the Panic name with his racist, predatory, and bully behavior. 

I can’t stand the fact that he represents Panic when it started off with Ryan Ross writing genuine and good songs about his trauma and shit and turned into a Brendon Urie solo act that is fronted by a racist piece of shit who can’t even write good lyrics. 

And he has the audacity to say that Panic! at the Disco, a band Ryan Ross fucking founded, is dead when he should have done that shit ages ago.

realized that if i have a lot of thoughts on something and no one will listen to them i can put them on here!

So today I was thinking about animation. You know how people don’t respect animation as a form of entertainment or media? I wish I knew why because I feel like, if anything, animation takes a lot more effort than live action movies or TV does. Of course, that might not be true in all cases but in some it definitely is. 

I assume that some of the reason animation is not respected as much is because it is often associated with children entertainment. But this is stupid because yes, children entertainment often is animated but it’s also live action! And! wait till you here this! There are animated adult shows! Family Guy?? Family guy has a bunch of awards and is a respected show. It’s stupid but adults respect it and watch it. But the moment there’s something that’s animated (that’s not some dumb show like Family Guy (no hate to Family Guy)) these people won’t even bother watching it. 

Well then I started thinking about Super Hero movies. God. Marvel, DC, whatever, I’m so sick of it. I understand that fans of these franchises are sick of hearing this and it also doesn’t necessarily apply to every single super hero movie ever, but this genre is so played out! If you look at Marvel specifically, you have some movies that are good and fun but then you get to a point where every single movie is the same idea with big battle, we’re almost dying!, how are we going to win?, we have to use this weird ancient/alien technology to save the world! It’s boring now! 

And then you have the hero repetition. Like The Batman. Sure you can say they made that Batman movie because there was a different villain or something like that but it’s boring! I don’t mean that the movie itself is bad or boring, I saw it in theaters myself, it’s just a boring concept (same with the Marvel movies, they’re not necessarily bad, just overdone and are boring concepts at this point). Further with this, why are there three Spidermans? And do not get this twisted. I love Spiderman, Andrew Garfield’s being my favorite, but why are there three? Maybe there’s a real reason but to me it just seems like an excuse to keep profiting on the popularity of Spiderman by bringing him back several times. 

Further, I’m already finding the current era of hero movies to be (Mostly) insufferable but imagine what they will look like in the future! Years down the line what will they do? Keep making new Spiderman and Batman films (and don’t forget about the tv programs)? When will the next Superman come out? I can’t imagine.

I also want to make a point that I understand that DC and Marvel movies are based on comic books. My knowledge of how accurate the films are to the comics or how many of them are actually based on the comics is very limited. I mean was Infinity War in the comics? What about Suicide Squad? I genuinely have no idea. If they are, it really doesn’t change my argument at all. It’s still boring to have all these heroes with their stories get pushed down to be a constant retelling. Also, I’m not saying that a movie like Avengers is boring. That’s probably when it was good! But then the shit kept going! Like... That’s the repetition. It never concludes. It’s like when a show should’ve ended at like season 5 but kept going for 15. And I’m bored of it. Another point to make is that certain some new hero movies say, Black Panther, I wouldn’t necessarily fall into this category but, put the Black Panther cast into a movie with Iron Man (RIP I know), Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Tom Holland Spiderman, Dr. Strange, and any of those other bitches in a big battle to save the universe...

Anyway, straying from the new, boring hero movies (Black Adam, Shazam, etc.), I started thinking about newer (kind of) hero movies that I thought were good and realized all three were animated. The three I came up with were Megamind, Lego Batman, and Into the Spiderverse. HEAR ME OUT! First of all, I’m not saying that Lego Batman is the best superhero movie ever made or that Megamind is better than the entire MCU or anything like that. Just listen to my thoughts here. 

So first, Megamind. Megamind will never be taken seriously by everyone and I’ve already accepted that but it is a magnificent movie. It plays with the tropes of hero and villain so well. The entire concept of a villain beating the hero, getting bored in his victory and take over, creating a new hero so that he has someone he can have someone to defeat again, and in the end defeating him as a hero is insane! Completely flipping the idea of hero and villain like that is such a refreshing and entertaining thing to see. I’m so bored of seeing the repetition of some guy is a hero and has to face this big villain, whether the villain is human or not, and has to save the world or some shit. Seeing the villain become the hero is just so much more interesting! And it’s not like a Loki or Crowley (Supernatural) situation where viewers question whether they’re truly villains or not or see them as a good guy either way; Megamind was a villain but had a real change where he realized that he had to go in another direction. 

Lego Batman is one that I will need to strongly defend here I’m guessing. I know I talked about the repetition of Spiderman and Batman yet two of my good hero movies are Batman and Spiderman? Well if we compare Lego Batman to the 2022 Batman with Robert Pattinson, I would argue that one of them is a lot more interesting. The Batman was a good movie, but it’s been done before. Even if it was a slightly different storyline or had some different main characters or something, we’ve all seen the basic Batman story. So why is Lego Batman different? Lego Batman sort of plays on the overplayed Batman tropes. So Batman is his usual foreboding, dark self, but at the same time it’s kind of weird in a way that sort of pokes fun at that part of Batman. They do the same with the other characters, like Robin and the Joker. It’s still Robin and Joker but they play with their characters, making fun of their relationship with Batman. I understand it’s for comedy, but the change of classic Batman characters and tropes make it a more interesting and entertaining Batman movie. Now I’m not necessarily saying that Lego Batman is better that any other Batman movie; I’m saying that, in this era, instead of making a basic, overdone Batman movie, Lego Batman provides a new interesting take on the Batman story. 

And Into the Spiderverse. For starters it is different than the other Spidermans because it is not about Peter Parker, it’s Miles Morales. The whole concept of Into the Spiderverse makes it different than the other Spiderman movies. Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland all have great Spiderman movies (like great movies, I love them) but isn’t doing something new with Spiderman and different Spider..people? crossing universes and coming together better than if they had just made a new Spiderman movie with Donald Glover or something? And that was not a dig on Donald Glover, I am an advocate for him in a Spiderman movie, Spiderverse sequel maybe?? 

And I know you’ve been thinking it. What about Spiderman: No Way Home? It was a great movie!! In the same way Spiderverse was but in a more nostalgic and cool way. Bringing the old Spidermen together with Tom Holland was a great idea and I’m glad they did it. 10/10 much more interesting than Infinity War. 

So is this argument for animation or against hero movies? I guess I don’t know. I was just thinking about all these things and thought I’d write them down. Some closing thoughts: I am not saying that any hero movie is bad. I’m sure there are some bad ones but I am not saying that. I just think that the entire concepts and main plots of a lot of these movies are overdone and becoming boring. I’m also not saying that Megamind and Lego Batman are thee best hero movies. They’re some of my favorites but I wouldn’t say that they are undeniable better than most or anything like that. I guess my main point might be why is animation not taken seriously when some of the more interesting hero movies, which has become a draining genre, are animated? Of course that’s heavily based on my opinion but I was just thinking about it.

Don't ever talk to me or my fictional pathetic man ever again

[joshsheart]

he was so brave about his tummy ache

[joshsheart]

does everyone else feel that Edward definitely has killed many people but is in extreme denial of it. like at first, I liked his character trope of being a seemingly violent character who doesn’t actually kill people but as I watch the show more and more it seems that he clearly has killed people indirectly (like burning the ship) and directly, but just keeps telling himself that he wasn’t the one who actually did it. like he would stab someone and say that the knife was the one who killed them. which is so much more interesting
