sequel to this ramble cause the way james talks bout the reduced cherik scenes throughout the xmen films in this video is making me want to kill people. 'we'll always have paris darling' what if we all blew up.

So something I never noticed about this scene.

When Vegas jumps in here, I immediately thought -he's like a little kid, cocky because his dad is there to back him up. And obviously Chan thinks it too, because the subs are wrong...he doesn't say "that's why I was talking" he says "the adults are talking".

It's the next part though...when he says "you'd be advised to go home" he's still speaking only to Vegas -- he says it in English, so it's clearly meant as a response to Vegas speaking English to him and he's looking at Vegas, not Gun when he says it.

He turns back to Gun and goes back to Thai until guns get drawn like cartoons.

The interesting thing is, he's giving Vegas an out here. I can't imagine this was Chan on his own, caring if Vegas was a part of this or not. It had to be Korn who wanted to keep Vegas out of it. Of course, Vegas was never going to take that option -he'd rather die proving his loyalty to his father than wear the crown in his stead. I'm sure that's something that baffles Korn -he would expect his sons to choose to stay alive and put themselves in a position of power if it came to it.

I think Korn's plan was to give the ring to Vegas after he killed Gun, thinking he could control him easily and still use him as a pin to poke Kinn with...even more so since he could play benevolent uncle once Gun was gone. But Vegas completely fell apart after his father's murder, taking that option off the table. (Okay, I'm never gonna find it again rn, but someone did a great post about how the minor family is way too dramatic and emotional for Korn and this is an example of that...compare to Kinn swallowing back all the emotion when he thought Korn was dead so he could take care of business).

kinda wish we saw more of Erik’s grieving process 🙁

the instant apocalypse recruited Erik he immediately forgot about Magda and Nina 😭😭

and we didn’t see any kind of reminders of them in dark phoenix either 😿😿

Erik seemed to be doing pretty well at the end of xma 😭😭 SHOW ME WHAT HE DID AFTER HE LEFT HOW DID HE DISCOVER GENOSHA??? HOW DID HE MOVE ON FROM MAGDA AND NINA IF AT ALL??

the writers had so many things they could’ve explored with all the characters and yet they gave us dark phoenix 🙁

ok ok i have another way to word my thots about the movies thus far:

i think Art is pretty iconic design wise. Im not against gory slashers I think we should have more of those and I like that a series so "shocking" is doing so well...its more like.

The franchise establishes pretty immediately that it's not Serious...as mentioned the first movie has a naked woman sawed in half from crotch down so idk how you'd even make it to the 3rd one without knowing How It Is. But with how the first one barely has any plot, and the second one has A Bit More but drags on and on...its like... SO FAR (because I haven't seen the 3rd one) these movies aren't Fun to watch ykwim.

I know Saw isn't a good comparison bc its a different genre within horror but the franchise really is like a telenovela... its so stupid (good) and it has lots to complain about and pick at in the FUN way, like poking fun at peepaw and his warehouses and home depot purchases, going "are you kidding me thats so dumb" at that scene where hoffman manages to be snuck into the station in a body bag to start killing people. Varuous moments of stupid ass dialogue writing. Im not saying it cant be boring or unliked but i think it has a good balance of everything (eyerolling moments, plot, "lighthearted" and humorous moments, intentional or not) even if its not a masterpiece in the writing department.

And that's just within the series, I usually avoid bringing up fandom bc that's obviously a different beast I rarely even touch but its more about how its fandom actually has that foundation to go off of. Like you know enough about peepaw's backstory and such to springboard off of, regardless of it being good or not

Here it's like man there's a hot cool clown, lots of gore, really corny and cornily acted out writing, and its not even FUN? 😭 2 movies (again I haven't made it to the 3rd) and I wouldn't watch them again, not because of the gore but because despite not being serious, reinforced by that very drawn out over the top kill in the second one, it's not even fun... you cant even attach to the silly dialogue because the whole rest of the movie is a drag. Does this make sense? It's like. Everything combined to make it Not Fun. Whereas at least with Saw you can start joking about how someone just wasn't trying hard enough to win peepaw's foundationally silly ass "you tried to kill yourself now you're in the try not to kill yourself" trap.

It's at odds with itself. I've seen like one Halloween movie and can barely even remember it but I know all the jokes about outrunning Michael Myers (and that cat and mouse is also Fun)...theres also like 50 of those movies I KNOW theyre probably also fun to watch and complain about the absurdity... I think the issue here might also be the straightforwardness and point A point B of it all. There's not really much anyone can do against Art, which is fine, some saw traps are literally unwinnable after all. But Terrifier doesn't even give you the chance to, like, boast about how you definitely could have survived the Silence Circle trap because you're not an idiot... it's just not Fun. To me.

I think Art himself is fun and the corny dialogue are fun. I'll even go ahead and say the gore is fun because again like come on the clown literally rips a guys cock off its Absurd... but they seem to be trapped in movie(s) that so far aren't fun

something has possessed me i think bc why am i in the year 2024 thinking about merlin/gwaine but also merlin/lancelot but also gwaine/merlin/lancelot. what have i done to deserve this

[smile-files]

the alliance........ from left to right: baseball, suitcase, nickel, and balloon!

(i was trying to find a way to represent balloon's name and i came upon a lucky medium: given how he was a jerk in ii1 and nickel continued to see him as such, i imagine he'd just call him "bully" from then on, even after they became friends -- and it sounds like the word "balloon", no?)

okay sorry for the terrible as sin picture quality but it’s 4:25 in the morning and Amazon prime doesn’t let you screenshot from its app and I’m as slaphappy as I am literally exhausted but I just got done watching the ace attorney movie and I stayed awake just enough to catch shu takumi next to Larry in the audience when Phoenix wins the trial in the movie’s expansion on 1-4

Bonus people sweeping up the confetti after the trial and miles with a guitar for some reason

[buttercupshands]

wait a minute

stop.

stop it.

Does anyone else think it’s fascinating how nicknames develop? Like sometimes a nickname is a logical shortening of a name, sometimes it’s a different part of their name, like a last name or a middle name, and sometimes it’s completely random, manifesting out of a series of twisting inside jokes and memories that is impossible to explain and you’re just like, “Oh yeah, that’s our friend, The Ball, don’t mind him.”
