#Team reboot the show

House of the dragon is a badly written show

I excuse most of the first season but I truly shouldn't have.

The show is unwatchable unless you have spoiled yourself or read the book which is just a part of Fire and Blood.

They have no timeline and they have developed no timeline mainly to queerbait and make Alicent and Rhaenyra friends, for no reason, them being friends doesn't add any emotional weight to the story and they have no chemistry.

in fact, young Alicent and Rhaenyra feel extremely sexualized, while the older versions seem extremely depressed. But apart from that, it doesn't seem as if they had any other development . Like sure Alicent became more resentful but not more aware and Rhaenyra became more deluded that no one would object to her rise to the throne but not more involved in the ruling of the kingdom. Like how did she not realize that Alicent was objecting to her by loudly calling her children bastards and how did Alicent really believe this was all gonna be peaceful when she has been scaring Aegon into believing Rhaenyra would kill him.

My main problem is them treating the audience that probably watched Got as babies. WE CAN HANDLE AND EVIL STEPMOTHER AS ALICENT, WE CAN TAKE A MAEGOR WITH TITS AS RHAENYRA, UNFIT BUT AWARE VISERYS, WE CAN TAKE PDF DAEMON.

They wrote this show so badly that the chronically online audience truly believes Alicent and Rhaenyra are in love, that Viserys was a good person after what he did to Aemma, that Daemon loved Rhaenyra and/or Laena, that Rhaenyra wasn't happy to get rid of Laenor, that Rhaenys would've been a good queen, that the Hightowers took the throne just because they were scared of Daemon and were pious ????

It's giving fanfic and badly written at that.

AND THE BIGGEST ELEPHANT ON THE SHOW is that they don't have any breakthrough actors like Got had. There's no Lena Headey, no Peter Dinklage, no Sophie, no Maisie.....

It feels like a theater play run by very pretentious people who don't wanna seem like copying D&D but lowkey copying them

They youngest actors are good but not good enough to override what they were given.

The show creators want to have their cake and eat it, too.

Because it's obvious Ep4 will be Rook's Nest, only reason they gave us Aegon humiliating Aemond and Rhaenys talking about the future as if that's the reason that scene unfolds the way it does .

Say what you will about Got but when it followed the books between season 1 and 4, it was really good. And it didnt need big dragon fights, it was always a journey that HOTD is not living up to it.

The woe of being into old shows that have since gotten a TV show or movie reboot so all I see when I look it up is the reboot 😔

If the new Twilight show wants to throw in Team Alice as an option for Bella that's fine by me. Arguably, Bella's friendship with Alice is healthier than either relationship with Edward or Jacob.

Apparently Ojamajo Doremi had a light novel sequel called Doremi 16 and it's going to be animated and that unlocked some feelings I've been having about Toei's IPs lately:

So here's a little fun fact about the fall guy movie that many of you may or may not know. The fall guy is actually a reboot of a 1980s tv show called the fall guy that is basically the same as the movie where he's a stunt man but not only is Colt severs a stunt man he is also a bounty hunter (which is something I wish they explored in the movie), the show is like kind of hard to find because it's not on streaming and there's only 1 season available on DVD (in the us anyways). In the very end of the fall guy movie when the two "cops" show up well that just happened to be a cameo by Lee majors and Heather Thomas who portrayed the original colt and Jody in the 1980s tv show.

Huntlow is so funny to me because the writers were like...

"Shit... it makes no sense for Hunter's arc to end with him not getting a witch gf because Caleb's whole thing is that he left the human world to go start a family with a witch... and we wrote all that Lunter = Caleb/Evelyn stuff in previous episodes... but Luz is unavailable and we don't have the time to write a break up and Luz falling in love with him...

Yeah it sucks bc we foreshadowed a Lunter kiss in SAI, so now that episode is gonna look sus on a rewatch. Let's punt him off onto Willow even though she has never made it obvious she likes boys or that she even likes Hunter.

Yeah like, it doesn't make sense for Willow's arc to end with her getting a bf but Hunter getting a gf is more important than that tbh. ALSO give Willow, Luz's season 1 haircut. AND put her infront of Flapjack's grave even though she wasn't the one who introduced him to Hunter and she has never bonded with Flapjack the same way Luz did.

Okay cool, also let's not even make it clear if Willow and Hunter are dating by showing them kiss in the post credits or photos in the final episode. :)"

I'm supposed to think they're a thing when the show couldn't even commit to giving us explicit evidence that they're dating... this shit is too funny.

now that i think abt it, looking back, srmthfg did a lot of stuff that i liked so much, let’s say regarding the main character. I find Chiro’s case so interesting because despite the fact that he is never given any backstory whatsoever, he becomes meaningful through his actions and becomes established and distinguished through his interactions with others. I think he is such a likeable character but not in the way that he’s perfect, he has his flaws and fears that he overcomes or struggles with. He is shown multiple times being kind towards others, even towards hideous creatures or animals (i mean it would be ironic for him to hate animals given that he lives with monkeys) which at the time was like such a breath of fresh air for me. Also the way characters constantly belittle/make fun of him for hanging out with animals and he just pretty much tells all of them to f off which is great. The majority of times the villains aren’t even naturally evil but corrupted by the evil force and the main characters recognize that and try to help as much as they can. Another thing that i like abt Chiro is that he’s supposed to be ‘’the chosen one’’ but he isn’t overpowered, he has several established moves which he uses throughout the show or improves and that’s it. and he loses, A LOT. Like there’s this great accent placed on the fact that they are a team and on how they are constantly saving each other.

AND GOD let me tell you, i dislike mechs, among all animals primates and monkeys are my least favorite and yet this show has somehow managed to make me love BOTH. The way they made me care so deeply abt each freaking technicolor monkey, about this pink mary-sue-ish robot-girl, and about that plain-ass looking super robot is INSANE. The writer somehow managed to give them so much personality. When Antauri [redacted] I was literally not okay for several weeks. I related to Gibson so much and his beef with Sprx was so fun and his relationship with Otto so nice. Nova was badass and funny and i loved the big sister kind of relationship she had with Chiro. I can’t even chose a fave out of the monkeys because they complemented each other so well. Jinmay seemed sorta boring at first but the fact that she was a robot made everything so much more interesting, i absolutely loved all the times when they would pit her against the heroes. I also loved that she was established from the beginning and kept being a recurring character even becoming a member of the team but not in the way that it would break the team’s mojo. The super-robot was so plain but the way they constantly showed us it was sentient was so eerie. AND god the villains where compelling, terrifying and idk felt like a constant looming threat. Idk maybe it’s nostalgia speaking but this show had so much shit that somehow newer shows/anime constantly miss and it makes me sad when i remember how it ended and how it has been literally forgotten by everyone. Sometimes i think it’s a fever dream because nobody ever mentions it, not even when they are talking abt ‘‘forgotten shows’‘ :’)))

Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - "Mask of the Masked Rider"

Prince Dex of Edenoi was given the powers of the Masked Rider by his dying grandfather, King Lexian, following a devastating final assault on Edenoi's capital by the evil Count Dregon. With Edenoi's defenses crippled, Dregon set his sights on Earth. Dex soon followed, teaming up with the Power Rangers and forming a strong alliance with them, counting them as some of his first and closest friends.

Dex's past is riddled in tragedy, Edenoi having been under constant siege since before he was born. His planet made for an easy target, as most of the population were pacifists, save for the Masked Rider Warriors that stood guard against incursions. Sadly, they were all wiped out in Dregon's final attack, leaving only Dex and his Ectophase Activator as the last remnants of the Rider Warriors.

Around the Rangers, Dex says everything extremely deadpan, making it hard to tell whether or not he's joking, but he will soon clarify with an equally deadpan "That was a joke." or "Was that not funny?"

He comes into inadvertant conflict with Tommy as she starts to worry about him replacing her on the team, threatened by the "newer and cooler green guy". The two soon reconcile as Tommy apologises for projecting onto him, with Dex saying that, as someone who also had never had friends before now, it's understandable that she would be worried about losing them again.

at this point they could probably crowdfund s3 but the logistics without a defined studio and broadcast/host partner would be ass

Wow, Doormouse. The organizers of this treasure hunt event must really hate you if they willingly put you on a team with two dangerous criminals.

Ryan Murphy saying that in the event he does a Gleeboot and goes the Former Character route rather than a full new setting/cast/timeline he would retcon whatever happened in the finale is the funniest thing I've heard all year. Here's how Kurtofsky can still win
