Yes with our viewing of Avatar:The Way of Water there was collectable goodies!! They had cups and buckets of course but…I did not get these when we went to see Avatar:The Way of Water being we would not be seeing the movie until after Christmas we stopped into the Movie theater on December 16 while on our way home from work that night I was worried stuff would be sold out before we sent to see the movie so we picked everything up then and it all has been sitting on the kitchen counter all through the Holidays I just didn’t want to post them until we actually seen Avatar:The Way of Water and when I did my Christmas posts after the Holidays so anyway..

The buckets again were metal and embossed/stamped out ones that we gotten before. The Way of Water bucket is very similar to the one we got when we went to see The Batman. Where the Batman one has this amazing red metallic look to it this one has a beautiful metallic blue to it and I think it just matches that one so well. On it is has the movies title Avatar:The Way of Water and to the right of that is has the face of the character Kiri and her braids are kinda floating so I think this is suppose to be her underwater.

Now with this there were 2 different cups this time and of course I got them both lol The first is the standard cup its more of a "middle size" cup I think its 321mls? it of course has the movie tile on it and a wrap around image of the reef village from the movie which is really nice it also has a very nice glossy look to it.

As for the second one they called it the premium cup. It is a bit bigger then the other one it doesn't say by how much though it doesn't say on the bottom. Its an extremely cup and has the brown vines all around it which are molded plastic and it also has like various tribal symbols all around the cup and the cup itself along with the symbols glows in the dark! I haven't tested the glowing but it is made of that whiteish green plastic that does glow in the dark. It is topped up with this really nice cover with the Avatar logo on it.

So that was the collectable stuff they had for the movie I think its all really great and was happy and excited to pick all this up.

Sometimes I think about how and why some people had such a *bad* reaction to the end of Steven Universe, specifically in regards to the Diamonds living.

Even though they no longer are causing harm to others and are able to actually undo some of their previous harm by living, some folks reacted as though this ending was somehow morally suspect. Morally bankrupt, even.

And I think it might be because so many of us were raised on a very specific kind of kids media trope:

They all fall to their deaths.

Disney loves chucking their bad guys off cliffs. And it makes sense- in a moral framework where villains *must* be punished (regardless of whether their death will actually prevent further harm or not), but killing of any kind is morally bad for the hero, the narrative must find a way to kill the villain without the protagonists doing a murder.

It's a moral assumption that a person can *deserve* to die, that it is cosmically just for them to die, that them dying is evidence that the story itself is morally good and correct. Scar *deserves* to die, but it would be bad for Simba to kill him. So....cliff. (edit: yes, cliff then hyenas. But cliff first. Lol.)

Steven Universe, whatever else it's faults, took a step back and said "but if killing people is bad, then people dying is bad", and instead of dropping White Diamond off a cliff, asked "what would actual *restorative*, not punitive, justice look like? What would actual reparations mean here? If the goal is to heal, not just to punish, how do we handle those who have done harm?" And then did that.

Which I think is interesting, and that there was pushback against it is interesting.

It also reminds me of the folks who get very weird about Aang not killing Ozai at the end of Avatar. And like, Ozai still gets chucked in prison, so it doesn't even push back on our cultural ideas of punitive justice *that much.* and still, I've seen people get real mad that the child monk who is the last survivor of a genocide that wiped out his entire pacifist culture didn't do a murder.

I feel like so many problems people have with tv at the moment could be solved if we just went back to the good ole days of 20 episodes a season that’s just sixty percent filler and character development. Give the people what they want- less condensed story and more meaningless shenanigans

when will people learn that live-action remakes will never be good as their original animated counterparts because the glory of animation is the colour, movement, and fantasy that's just untranslateable to live-action

the fact that reboots used to be like thirty or forty years apart and are now instead like 3-10 years apart is absolutely ridiculous. like are we so trapped in a capitalist hellscape that instead of us naturally cherishing a beloved piece of media like it deserves and looking forward to NEW stories with NEW universes we have to watch the same thing over and over and over again with reboot after reboot after reboot until that media has been so sucked dry that us as an audience are literally sick at the mere mention of it

It's great to see the Aliens franchise get its time to shine!

It's been a long and tumultous road for 20th Century post buyout, but I'm glad to see the studio find its footing once more.

It's great to see all the big tentpole science fiction franchises of 20th Century Studios be critical and commercial successes.

Yk people always say “I was born in the wrong generation etc etc.”

But what about those of us who were born in the wrong universe. Now I’m not talking like “oh I hate this world boo hoo…” I’m talking dragons.

I was meant for a world with magic and gods and fairies and nymphs and mermaids and dragons WHERE THE HELL ARE MY DRAGONS!?!?!?

While on our way to see Transformers: Rise of the Beasts This week we did pick-up Avatar: The Way of Water on 4K They did have alot so we didn't have to worry about them selling out lol They also had the first Avatar on 4K but didn't get it being I wasn't sure what version of the movie was included. Is it just the theatrical or the Extended Cut or both? I just quickly looked at it but didn't really notice if it said or not? but anyway I think I'm going to keep the Blu-ray of the original and was happy to pick this up.

a little sketch sheet of a bunch of things im a big fan of

[aroaceleovaldez]

yknow, I am amused that solangelo fanon was so tunnel-vision in like 2014 that in the midst of crawling through literally every time Will had popped up in the series prior, somehow the ONE singular instance of Will referencing something that the fandom did absolutely nothing with was the thing Rick then decided to draw out into being a major character trait for Will.

Like. Nico eats McDonalds once and it becomes a huge fanon thing, but Will references Star Trek and the fandom doesn't make a peep until Rick explicitly canonizes that he's a huge sci fi nerd. and Rick doesn't even keep it consistent! He changes it so Will is a Star Wars nerd instead of Star Trek. smh 😔 /lh
