I keep forgetting how much Mikey wants Amanda dead and then I pick one episode to watch at random and he tells the news she's a witch (followed by her running for her life), then purposely stalls when Bunsen's giant dog is trying to kill her... despite knowing perfectly well that Boodles tears his Amanda chew toys to shreds.
This is not an isolated incident. He got MORE excited for the friendship ceremony with Amanda when Bunsen told him there was a risk of her disintegrating (A "win-win" according to him).
Also, he outright stole Amanda's dog because as a robot, it's hypoallergenic and his parents won't let him have a real one, and they instead gave him a teddy bear with a camera in it?? He does not give her dog back at the end of the episode? Wild.
Danny was practicing shapeshifting with Amorpho when he felt the tug of a summoning and heard the distant words drifting into his mind.
Normally Danny would just ignore it. Or if it seems like this was a group that needed some sense scared into them, he'd shift into his Horror form and terrify them into never pulling this shit again. But then he heard them mention live sacrifices, and Danny just had to step in before that happened. So he let the summoning pull him on through, briefly forgetting he was shapeshifted into a... less than ideal form.
Danny lands in the circle right on top of one of the intended sacrifices, a group of people in weird outfits and, is that guy green? Irrelevant. Immediately Danny on knows something is very wrong. His powers feel muted and far away. His form suddenly feels, locked somehow.
He casts his gaze across the summoning circle and, to his horror, recognizes the binding ritual. These cultists wanted to bind and seal him in one of these mortal's bodies after they were sacrificed. But they fucked up the spell. Or maybe Danny fucked it up by coming in too soon? Irrelevant again.
What matters is the spell went sideways. Instead of locking Danny into one of the sacrifice's bodies, it locked him into his own form while pulling most of his abilities just out of reach. Now he's here. In the shape of- He's stuck as-
"Dude, is that a pigeon? Did the Ghost King, like, send you to voicemail?"
i hate you romantically involved characters who talk to each other like they’re in a couples counseling session, i hate you watering down of the word toxic, i hate you plot twists where the male love interest is actually a villain because see, silly girl? in the REAL world guys like that are DANGEROUS, i hate you relationship therapist breaks down movie couple’s relationship videos, i hate you “romeo and juliet were just stupid horny teenagers” “belle had stockholm syndrome” “wuthering heights isn’t romantic” hot takes, i hate you sanitization of romance in fiction
I very much appreciate the return of RTD's slapstick and cartoon-y comedy. Its so silly but so good. I'm glad the episode took itself seriously when it needed to, but had that camp sci-fi energy to it too.
Honestly, The Star Beast as a story was a great pick to bring us back into an era headed by the guy who put shit like 'spinning christmas trees of death' and 'big fuck you wasp priest who makes buzzy sounds when he's mad' etc into the show.
I see a lot of new Joel and/or Jimmy viewers and some older ones wonder when they started calling each other babe in the life series, empires or really any video. I’d like to point y’all to MCC All Stars. These were our humble beginnings and none of us have been free ever since
Also I’m pretty sure someone has said this before but when you first start the alone mission and Soap is changing through channels of his radio you hear a shadow say “we need reinforcements in the North Plaza now!” just a little bit before Ghost answers Soap, showing where he was in relation to Soap.
It a fun detail, especially considering that soap had a head start in running towards Las Almas over Ghost, meaning Ghost is super fast and that Soap was lagging behind because of his wound.
It also shows how skilled Ghost is on his own. You need reinforcement because of one man? Just one?
