I remember someone posting that Zeus in Disney’s Hercules is the most accurate modern depiction of him, I heavily disagree.
If anything it’s the most egregious example of modern media whitewashing Zeus’s horrible actions. Zeus is at his worst in Heracles’s myths, he raped Alcmene in the form of her husband, (either out of lust or power) and forced her to bear his child and to use that child to exert his power over mortals by deciding that he would rule “all those around him” and by that he meant Mycenae, one of Hera’s favorite cities and unsurprisingly she was angry over this and tortured Alcmene by prolonging her labour and Zeus does nothing about it, if anything once he found out what Hera has done, he didn’t punish her or Eileithyia, he punished Ate his own daughter just for being the goddess of delusion. Then Zeus keeps neglecting Heracles and doing absolutely nothing 99% of the time when his wife was putting his son through hell.
So no, the movie is completely wrong to portray Zeus as a loving family man, it’s wrong to also make Hera Heracles’s biological mother.
#I think it was a reaction to Zeus in Kaos#I hate to say this but while Kaos is inaccurate#Zeus is portrayed much more accurately in the show than in this movie#he is abusive verbally sexually and physically#just bc Kaos got it all wrong doesn’t mean it isn’t true#greek mythology#ancient greek mythology#greek pantheon#greek goddess#hera#zeus#zeus greek mythology#zeus deity#kaos zeus#zeus god#disney hercules#Alcmene#Heracles#Hercules#angry ramblings#rambling#hera goddess#hera greek mythology#hera deity#herakles

Velma (2023) is to Scooby Doo what Teen Titans Go! is to Teen Titans (2003)
#when your show is worse than teen titans go you know you really messed up#and even then the worst thing teen titans go did was just make the script bad and too many fart jokes#velma hates its characters; made them two dimensional; got rid of the main character#but you know what good bc they woulda ruined scooby#they made daphne vapid and dumb; fred’s a misogynistic bully; shaggy isn’t even shaggy; and velma’s judgmental and mean#at least teen titans go likes its source material#i genuinely enjoyed the crossover movie between go! and the 2005 OG’s#also apparently it isnt Teen Titans 2005 it’s Teen Titans 2003; so… sorry about that#i think i put the 5 bc it has 5 seasons? who knows but ya’ll know what im talking about either way#velma 2023#velma show#hbo velma#scooby doo#velma dinkley#teen titans#teen titains go

Sigh I swear the bar is so low with writing sometimes.
I’ve just been remembering how much it bothers me when there’s no lasting consequences or acknowledgement for things. When everything resets like nothing ever happened at the start of the next episode, or even the next scene sometimes. How cool and rare it was that Wally’s arm was in a cast for a whole 5 episodes of Young Justice. How relieved/excited I was when Mulder actually still had bandages on his fingers the episode after he broke them because FINALLY something carried over! Or when Hook was leaning on someone for support in the background after the fight scene in Pan. How impressed I was to see Katniss still crying hysterically for Rue a few scenes after her death. How surprised I was to actually see a hint of the effect of Echo’s extremely traumatic experience when he panicked in the medbay. How my heart soared when he insisted on rescuing Gregor because omg he’s acting in a way that makes sense for his character! Clinging to every small scrap we get to see of clones showing real emotion when so often they seemingly never bat an eye at their losses and never mention their fallen brothers again.
I love these shows I swear, but it just gets so frustrating! Like I’ll literally be so nervous no one will be affected realistically, or react like a human, or behave in-character and then I get so excited on the rare occasions they do. And then I realize wow the bar is so low, shouldn't that just be, you know, writing 101?
Like I remember some episode of some show (the Seeker? Or something idk) where a character was captured and tortured and not ten minutes after being rescued his friend was like “hmm you sure are quiet today” like YEAH I SURE HOPE HE IS?!
#is it really too much to ask for??#lol is it any wonder we turn to fan fiction to fill in all the gaps?#clones wars/bad batch just in general needs so many more hugs and tears imho#sometimes i’m so grateful for omega bc it’s like the writers think she is allowed to react like a real human just bc she’s a kid#she and wrecker seem to be the only ones “allowed” to initiate hugs#they basically dedicated a whole episode to her dealing with echo’s departure and that was amazing!#echo reacted when cut mentioned rex#gooood#but when rex actually showed up? when he mentioned FIVES?! Not so much!#and isn’t the whole point of tcw that the clones AREN’T expendable?#That they aren’t emotionless interchangeable droids and their lives aren’t meaningless#So how come the writers so often treat them like they are? Narratively at least#and i get if they’re trying to keep things less intense by skimming over grief stuff#but like stop killing people then? Lol yeah these shows haven’t been for kids in a loooong time#like did you see the s7 finale? Don’t act like you don’t know how emotions work filoni et al#this applies to so many shows and things obvs but you know what’s been at the forefront of my mind lately lolll#venting#small rant#pet peeves#writing#writing pet peeves#x files#young justice#the hunger games#tbb#the bad batch#the clone wars#tbb echo#Pan 2015#i know literally no one cares about that movie but that detail stuck out to me lol

So I will be leaving this space for idk how long, which means I won’t be engaging in swiftie content. The amount of swifties indulging in classism as a way to bring down Joe Alwyn makes me feel completely sick and embarrassed to be a swiftie. All he’s done is promote his works and the efforts of Palestinians, and said not a single word against Taylor. But so many swifties online continue to find it HILARIOUS to bully someone by calling them jobless and poor as if those words are synonymous with being a bad person or a villain. How ignorant can you be? Would you be so hurtful if you knew any low income earners, like people with disabilities (like me), or anyone close to becoming homeless, or know the struggles of friends who have had it rough? How can you feel good indulging in language like that? It’s the most disgusting behaviour I’ve ever seen from swifties and I’ve seen a LOT since I’ve been a Taylor fan since just before Fearless came out. It makes me genuinely uncomfortable, hurt, and has had me on borderline tears because I’ve never felt so alone and isolated by swifties in my life. I thought that in the end we were better, more loving than this. I will continue listening & supporting Taylor but this whole past year has made me feel so separated from her lately. I wish she would speak up but she only spoke up about politics whilst she was with Joe, whose whole family has had a long history in activism. I will always adore her, but I can’t be online with swifties anymore, it hurts too much.
#i can’t escape it just watching a jimmy fallon interview & he’s in a clip of the movie they showed and all the comments….#they were so discriminatory to say the least#like WHY are you so obsessed that Joe isn’t a billionaire like Taylor?#if Taylor actually ever DID date someone who was ACTUALLY poor I feel sorry for them bc you guys are being terrible people#taylor swift#joe alwyn#swiftie#swifties#politics

Back on my bullshit (im so convinced that abed knows he’s in a show)
Why don’t any of the characters swear when it would be so much more realistic if they did? It’s because Abed censors them. They all just assume it’s because he doesn’t like swearing but it’s actually bc he knows that a camera is somewhere and their audience will be expanded if they don’t curse
#abed community#abed nadir#if youre seeing this post out of context the backstory is that i fully believe abed knows he’s on a show#but the fourth wall is translucent not transparent#he can mostly tell when a camera will be there but it’s not a guaranteed bet every single time#im using this theory to explain things about the show to myself#like you’re telling me jeff winger isnt saying some variation of ‘fuck’ every other line?? no#that britta perry isn’t saying swearing like a sailor whenever she can as an act of rebellion because ���they’re just words’#that annie edison has never told anyone to go fuck themselves#i dont believe that they wouldnt swear#unless their good friend abed was like ‘hey guys can you maybe stop swearing so much’#and they’re like oh no we’re so sorry to have made you uncomfortable#meanwhile he’s sitting there like ‘this is going to increase viewership so fucking much’#that’s why some of their misadventures don’t make the cut. the episode where they flashed back to the wild west scene#with some guy shooting at them? they were all cursing at the top of their lungs as they ran away from bullets#the camping trip that they allude to? jeff was saying ‘fuck camping’ any time anyone would listen#i feel like troy knows that abed doesn’t actually mind swearing bc they probably both swear when it’s just them#plus he never says anything when anyone swears in the movies they watch together#but he just goes along with whatever the vibe is at the time#anyways that’s the tedtalk

Had a nightmare that they tried to do something artsy with the eras tour movie editing and between every song it would cut to a black and white murder mystery movie that Taylor wasn’t even in
#also the ‘phones never show up in dreams’ thing isn’t real bc I dreamt about posting about it during the movie#and someone reblogged agreeing and only then did I notice I’d attached a picture of my drivers license with all my personal info visible#anyway good morning#tays takes

Kreese definitely was abusive to all the Cobras and left a mark on them back then but Johnny was always a focus for him from the very start.
#The Cobras deserve to have their abuse/how they reacted heard but you dont need to act like it there wasn’t abuse favorites#no need to say his was so little or the same level. abusers usually have a focus and hit the rest as treats#and THAT is still abuse worthy of sympathy and attention#was this not always clear? and even Martin has said repeatedly with no prompt that he always thought Kreese loved Cobra kai the most but#Johnny second in his own fucked up way. That was always Martin’s view and goal#so I dont understand why people act like Johnny’s abuse wasn’t especially potent and focused compared to the other Cobras#ANY reason to push Johnny to the side and shit on his character. right?#I’ve seen this take multiple times and while I respect people’s opinions#it’s wrong to dumb down somebody’s abuse to bring up others bc you hate the character#If you don’t trust Cobra Kai. even the movies show this clearly#This isn’t about anything specific. People I’ve spoken to and people have posted this take and I don’t understand at all#It an accumulation. So if you have this take dont be offended just look away.

I finally saw the mean girls musical (the movie one) I have so many fucking thoughts oh my god
#thoughts#oni talks#mean girls 2024#I think I may be the only person to kind of like it? like don’t get me wrong it is kinda ROUGH but it has so much potential and there’s bits#and pieces that I actually really enjoy or wish they had more of or just aahh#I’ve been nonstop thinking about the ideal version in my head like there’s so much potential obviously I’m biased by like a lot#since for one I know I tend to like stuff other people hate or don’t like but for two this sequel was weirdly way more relatable so maybe#I’m just projecting from my own personal experiences but Idc the POTENTIAL THERES SO MUCH ID WANNA DO INSTEAD#like there’s so many little details and characterizations that I wish was expanded on or fleshed out and it’s just like it feels like either#half baked or that it’s gone through too many edits it’s like it’s scared to exist?? like there’s some differences I love and wish they lol#leaned into but it’s like it was terrified to be too different? or like they were rushing the end especially#like in my ideal form it’s a tv show coz I think they honestly have enough that could be genuinely expanded in a way more interesting way#via that format probably not like a super extended series like you COULD but you’d definitely need more expansion but I could see the potent#but like idk one SOLID musical season with expanded character story and not like one of those rush cram shows like a good solid one#like Regina’s characterization is so fascinating but also feels like slightly off and like they could’ve leaned way more into things?#like I think keeping Regina as a closeted lesbian gives the greatest potential and interest for an expanded story#like I loved maybe the first half of the movie the most like that one song she sang to manipulate Aaron would work so much more perfectly if#she’s singing it about/to Cady? I also think in my ideal brain an cool flashback episode for Janis and Regina would be so cool coz there’s#so much you could flesh out in a flashback than you could in a retelling which while I do like the retelling since it lets you imagine thing#I just! potential! I also want more of them interacting and I do think changing Janis to be a lesbian works if they leaned more into it?#I also think in my ideal form janis would have more comeuppance or acknowledgement of her shit? I also think an arc of Regina coming out#like one thing they missed from the original is Regina playing soccer at the end & I think they could hint more towards that and maybe lean#more into her at home life in an expanded story way coz her mom is clearly like… yikes. granted maybe some of my views on the movie are too#biased by personal experience but like the way she snaps at her mom usually in my experience isn’t out of nowhere? like parents behind#closed doors. or frustrations with what her mom has clearly been putting on her the way she tells her mom not to talk about her body is very#like idk a lot of the characters in this version feel more real to me bc they act really similar to people I know irl so the expanded story#could be cool. another one that in my ideal brain would have more is Gretchen and especially her relationships with Regina as well as with#that one guy and her parents I wanna see more of how that works and her arc to feel more meaningful when she dumps him & mentions family#also as much as I didn’t care much for the straight plot stuff there’s 100% missed potential there that I could see in the differences like#iirc in the original it’s regular algebra not AP calc which I think could’ve been used as an interesting characterization opportunity for

this sucks not only because i think a lot of these would not work as movies (uno???) but also because they are predictably entirely missing what made barbie such a hit- which was that it was a good, well-crafted film with societal commentary that resonated with people- along with marketing that made the movie’s premiere feel like an event. the barbenheimer meme also played a part but i feel like barbie still would’ve been very successful without it. the lesson should be “let creatives have freedom and invest in production design” not “more movies about classic toys”
#also the ‘adult twist’ (bc you know they will) is going to be lame. it worked for barbie but imo it’s something hard to pull off#and re-using the way greta gerwig did it is going to get old fast#which isn’t to say none of these would work. i think there are some very interesting concepts for an american girl doll movie for example#and stuff like masters of the universe have already had tv shows and stuff so that’s like whatever to make a movie#but idk. a whole magic 8 ball movie?#also i guarantee tho most of these are never making it out of development

#tbh I only keep my minor F/O list up bc I do have a soft spot for those characters#but honestly aside from Kurt and D.raxum? I don’t really talk about anyone!!#I MIGHT start talking about Wade (from the Sonic movies) more once the Knuckles show comes out#and sometimes I might talk about characters from my secondary list#but I’ll be honest Wade Sly Peach and then Vax/Keyleth are probably the ‘main’ secondary F/Os rn#then the Disney afternoon people are a whole ass different category#ALSO D.RAXUM WASN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE A MAIN F/O#IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A SILLY LITTLE CRUSH BUT THEN HIS REDEMPTION ARC HAPPENED#AND OH NOW HE’S JUST A GRUMPY MIDDLE AGED MAN WHO GOT DRAGGED INTO THE FOUND FAMILY AND ACTS LIKE HE DOESNT CARE BUT REALLY DOES#ALSO HE’S KIND OF PRETTY TO ME SO????#WHY DID HE BECOME MY MAIN F/O AND SUCH A BIG COMFORT CHARACTER LMAO#WHY DID HE PUSH KURT OFF THE NUMBER ONE SPOT#Kurt isn’t angry about it btw he knows I love him still

Yknow one thing I hate to do is compare mechas given they’re all pretty different even putting the clear influence a lot have on each other aside and I don’t like the idea that I’ve seen a lot of mecha fans subscribe to where “if you like this one show you HAVE to like these other ones” but this is less of a comparison thing especially because I’m not petty or anything since it’s just something I thought about:
Mazinger v Getter when it comes to their recognition tends to boggle my mind a bit. Since it feels like there are more dedicated Getter fans around that talk about it than Mazinger fans, but Mazinger is more recognizable to the point it gets more funded stuff than Getter.
I was thinking about this when I was watching Mazinkaiser, and I can’t confirm this but I found it interesting that it almost (felt) like this ova spawned out of Getter making a comeback before Mazinger did, since Armageddon came before and was massive hit, than was followed up with a game + shin vs neo by the time Mazinkaiser was made. Like they even got Armas art director to work on it and the studio doing it was Brains Base who made the getter OVAs.
And in terms of recently all the stuff with Grendizer, which I know was SUPPOSED to get another an anime way before this, is now finally getting something coincidentally after Getter Robo Arc. And everyone is already pointing out between the two Grendizer looks waaay better then Arc so it’s clear it has more money put into it, yet I wonder if Arc didn’t happen if they would bother to touch Grendizer since Arc was them also finally giving the Getter team who NEVER got to be in a anime- well, a anime. And now the most neglected pilot apart of Mazingers universe is getting his own show.
I understand why Mazinger is more known and funded since it was the first self piloted mecha and something Go Nagai, a man who arguably changed the industry a lot, made so his works are always gonna be rebooted for the sake of memory, where as Getter sorta lives in Nagai’s shadow sadly even if Ishikawa memory is respected, but I feel like almost Getter is the one to test if things will work and then they’ll see if they can do stuff with Mazinger again.
Or maybe it’s just two coincidences and we’re just going through a long coming mecha renaissance of older properties of the genre, but I’m still rotating it heavily.
#meg text#mecha rambles#this isn’t even me desperately asking for another getter show either because I know it’s 50/50#I don’t expect a anime next year for 50 if grendizer happening even if it’s just a announcement#and fuck knows what’s going on with that live action movie which who knows could be good unless they get like idk Anno maybe?#given his trend with a lot of recent “shin” films despite how mecha fans feel about his works lol#but all I expect/want is another damn spin off manga and the next SRW to actually do something new with getter#but I seriously find it interesting how unless I’m crazy getter really lead the way for mazinger to come back#like it PROBABLY would’ve made a comeback by itself but getter said “nah bitch me first”#I know Nagai still did some mazinger stuff after the toei lawsuit but ishikawa was cooking first#I guess this is just a reflection how getter is super significant to the genre but not a lot of people give it the acknowledgement#despite the fact it made a entire fucking sub genre which arguably is as big of a deal as mazinger being the first self piloted robot#especially given how many combiners existed (and became super noteworthy like Gurren and voltron)#I don’t even hold getter on THAT pedestal bc I hate making my interests seem perfect but getter is soso significant to old anime culture#yet it’s stuck in limbo of “it’s not unknown but no one ever talks about it”#I can’t complain bc if Jeeg was instead the mecha show I was super autistic about I’d be more miserable LMAO#(Not like I’m not sad I can’t talk about Jeeg easily bc no one watched shin but- yknow)#it ain’t about it rn
