@reallyndacarter and Nic Cage go way back

[droptoeholdyourhorses]

[platypusnoise]

just looked through the movies i watched in january. only one actor was repeated in the ~twenty movies.

jason schwartzman.

[purbiworl]

They got Nic Cage as Dr. Tenma??

[baconmoop]

Okay so I've watched Renfield twice now, and I've decided it was designed specifically for me. It has everything I love.

-Soft bisexual woobie with questionable morals whose gender I would like to absorb.

-A plot so goofy that it would make a film bro walk out in disgust

-Nic cage just having the time of his goddamn life.

-Tedward Lobo?? That's sonic the hedgehog!

-The male and female protagonists don't get together in the end (Though I still don't think it passes the bechdel test, my ace ass is satisfied!)

-It shows a man in an abusive relationship trying to overcome his co-dependency, something that's so rare in TV/film.

idk i think nic cage is hung anyways……..bro always has a gnarly bulge going on in pictures i’ve seen… i could be wrong but i feel like that’s why longlegs being hung isn’t that far fetched…..

lol sorry for the elderly dick rambling 💀

Do not ever be sorry for that anon.. I agree of course.

I don’t even care that’s he’s old nothing could stop me. It’s huge, uncut, unshaved. Pray for your cervix hes hung and he is not gentle!!

[siryouarebeingmocked]

So there's this web novel called Worm.

[art source]

 It's about a dark and edgy world that's full of superpowered folks, and which is, therefore, about three steps away from dystopian collapse. Many places are already there.

The story is about a teenage bullying victim who gains powers, and uses them to become a very dangerous supervillain, despite her best efforts.

And anyone familiar with the RWBY fandom may have just gone "wait, this sounds familiar. Are there a lot of fics where a main character gets an alternate power set?"

Yes, yes there are.

In this fanfic I'm about to complain about, Taylor gets an already existing power that's already broken.

Canon has "Path to Victory", which is almost literally just an "I WIN" button. It tells "Contessa" what she needs to do to succeed at almost any goal she wants. She's a big blindspot for people who can see the future.

Some powerful entities can't be accurately predicted, she can't predict how people will "trigger" and get their powers, and she's terrible in space.

Taylor has the darker, edgier little brother. Which is just an "I WIN" button, with no “almost”. It means she gets to do whatever she wants, and she’s a borderline sociopath.

Someone tries to mind-whammy taylor? Nope, doesn't work.

Contessa tries to use PTV.on Taylor? Doesn't work.

Look, this is obviously, transparently a stompfic. And there two ways to go with that.

ROFLSTOMP, or take it seriously.

Make it a humour fic, or focus on how the protagonist seems strange to those around them, and how they see everyone else as strange in return. Also how the protagonists actions affect various people and the system. 

If you want challenge just give them mutually contradictory goals. The power can't do x without risking or losing y and certainly can't take care of z at the same time.

I read a Harry potter story which gave Snape the path to victory and the last published chapter was snape sitting in a bar trying to figure out what he wanted to do next. Looking back, that was probably meant to represent the author.

You can tell a good dramatic story with an OP protagonist. You just have to work harder.

This story mostly worked hard on setting up literally contrived situations so Taylor can kill someone in amusing fashion. And people's amusing reactions. That's the main selling point.

And of course the author and Taylor say that she has no more moral issues with killing. Because ROFLSTOMP.

In fact, one of the first things she does is literally stomp Sophia to death.

Taylor will still go after hard drug dealers because they hurt people, but she'll leave soft drug dealers alone. And of course she hates the local Nazi gang.

In short, she's a very selective sociopath.

So the story tries to mix both types, including with Sociopolitical Commentary™. It doesn't work very well.

At one point Taylor cracks a joke about tech Bros. 

Fun fact: Worm  takes place in an alternate universe where there is a very slim chance that they would develop that particular slang. A universe that is culturally very different from our own. In fact, I'm pretty sure the original webnovel ended before "tech bro" was even really a phrase.

And when Taylor kills the local Injustice League, she gets the bounty, and decides to donate it to the city. Specifically, she announces, the general public. 

And in case anyone was wondering why it can’t be given to businesses directly, she says trickle down economics doesn't work.

Let's ignore whether that's true or not. Trickle down economics usually refers to tax cuts. Not handouts and bailouts. Also the phrase was popularized mainly with Ronald Reagan's tax cuts.

Note that superheroes and villains started appearing on record in 1984. Reagan's first tax cuts were in 1981. His second were in 86. By 1985 in the worm universe, the breakfast club came out with Nic cage as bender. Superheroes didn't go public until 1987.

So it's possible that the phrase could still exist in the worm universe.

But it does seem strange that a teenager with little interest in politics happens to use it. In fact it seems a lot more like something an adult writer from our universe would use.*

And besides all that, it's just getting one note. No char development. Even the people reacting to Taylor do it the same way.

I mean I knew this was going to be self indulgent Mary Sue nonsense from the jump, so I really have nobody to blame but myself.

*To be fair, precedent does exist in canon. There's a character called Nice Guy. He can make himself appear to be a non threat, or even socially invisible, even when people are actively trying to find him or he's slitting a throat. Which sounds a lot like the 2000s  internet feminist stereotype of a nice guy. Ironically, the character concept was originally for a girl.

Just rewatched Astro Boy 09 & man I think the art style choice was good for the times but hoooo I forgot especially after rewatching 03 Astro in Japanese coming straight from that episode 50 into that mess how disappointed English speaking fans would be. I think the writing & some line deliveries weren’t the greatest which is what made the movie weak. More like some dudes fanfiction than an AB movie. But also idk if that’s fair bc I’ve read some rlly top notch AB fic soooo yeah 🤷🏻‍♂️ but also lemme just rant for a min there’s parts of this movie that rlly rlly work & I love I think some of the subtle quick ways were shown Astro’s powers like when he first learns he can fly & then directly afterwards starts digging thru the side of the mountain is great. Also unpopular take prob but I think the president Stone guy kinda works as a surface level AB villain. Def 🤮🤮🤮 @ Tenma’s design ever since I saw the movie in 2010 I’ve always hated bros design but like who doesn’t at this point this is rehashing old news. Also I get that Nic Cage knew the source material & is good on screen but idk if it was his delivery or just his lines written that poorly or if I’m relooking at this post round 2 of 03 anime for me but his char was so off. Also DEF AFTER 03 anime the war between robots/humans getting boiled down to the goofy RRF bots bruh I’d be so pissed if I worked for the companies involved in making this movie. YOU HAD GOOD SOURCE MATERIAL IF U CANT FIT IT ALL IN THE MOVIE DONT INCLUDE IT!!! Also alsoooo again prob reiterating old news but the Amerification & dumbing down of the source material to be more palatable for kids is just sad. Like the movie would’ve functioned exactly the same without a few of those goofy scenes it just stalled the story honestly. You could’ve added more of the other stuff in if that was taken out. Also weird using Tenmas Japanese last name but Ochans English name was always kinda huhhh?? to me. I get it’s for the ease of being able to say their names for everyone outside Japan but if we’re going English names why not just stick with whatever Tenma’s name was in English in the animes since people already knew it?? I kinda prefer Tenma tho & ik not everyone can say Ochanomizu but yeah. The surface kids I used to think in my kid brain were waaaay more fleshed out than they rlly are which is kinda funny since they literally just show up & are there a handful of scenes, handful of lines & then that’s it. I’m torn too bc idk if it was necessary to have the new kids or work in Tamao, Kenichi, & Shibugaki somehow & I liked the new kids too. But man this movies a hot mess. I prob have more thoughts but this posts getting way too long already. This movie was my intro to the franchise when I was a kid & legit did not know what anime was or that a whole thing existed outside of this movie xD I literally always used to wish there was & then like 10 yrs ago at this point after being deep into anime I found out about Astro Boy anime/manga & straight went:

So in conclusion Astro Boy movie ok, has deep place in my heart, animes waaay better & manga: god tier.

LONGLEGS????

BRO i’m so fucking obsessed with longlegs it hasn’t left my mind since i saw it (twice!!!) like i think it’s flawed for sure but i can’t bring myself to care. yes it’s been overhyped and that will lead to some people being disappointed but to me it’s a hereditary/the lighthouse situation where the hype is absolutely deserved. the opening scene alone is so fantastic. the entire movie gave me this feeling of intense fear and paranoia and it genuinely feels evil but i also like that it has a sort of dark sense of humour and toes the line between creepy and ridiculous, which brings me to nic cage himself who is just unbelievably good as this character. like it perfectly captures that feeling when someone’s behaviour is so bizarre and absurd it’s right in the middle of being funny and being terrifying. amazing work from oz perkins i can’t wait to see the movie again and if you like it i recommend checking out the birthday murders website as well. also i love t.rex so its just an overall winner for me. hail satan

[eyelessrabbit]

I need to stop making a homestuck aus

Kidswap AU, exactly what it sounds like,

June is the Seer of Breath. Grows up in big mansion by the beach, raised by Nana Crocker from the Crocker fortune. Also last name is Crocker in this!! Lazy tgirl swag, she's defintley not depressed haha dw about it come watch all the nic cage films with her while she rants about her dumb piano lessons and totally ignores how upsetting it is that her grandma's always busy working at the Crocker company. She stills gets pissed at the sight of cake though.

Rose is the Heir of Light. Grows up arguably the most normal, although she's very much leaning into the whole goth thing the most, dyes her hair black and everything. Raised by her stepdad, Dad Lalonde, after her Mom died (got crushed by a meteor). Plays up the fact that they have a bitter rivalry to seem cool but secretly is on really good terms with him and hides it out of embarrassment.

Jade is the Knight of Space. Grows up in town by the countryside covered in woods, raised by her incredibly absent Grandfather who taught her how to hunt and constantly sets traps around the place without telling Jade and also pretty often doing this funny trick (see: incredibly annoying and honestly) where he suddenly leaves her in the woods and expects her to fight her way to back home. Jade is an incredibly skilled hunter and gunsmith however, and highkey roleplays as a wolf girl for fun. This has only sometimes sometimes got her shot at when people have mistaked her for an actual God Damn Wolf. Also goes by Jade English!!

Dave is the Witch of Time. Grows up in a secret massive underground doomsday vault, stocked incredibly plentiful of supplies. Raised by HAL, the AI built after his Brother that runs the whole thing and does his best to take care of Dave, after an unfortunate accident takes Bro out when Dave was a baby. They run simulated battles together and Dave spends most of his bored ass time creating the shit out of shittily drawn monsters and swordsmen and enemies and weapons and then battle simulations of those shitty jpegs.

[euphoric-mars]

con air is the easiest rewatch ever like bro 2 hours straight of PLANE?? awesome. EXPLOSIONS?!?!?? so sick. LONG HAIR NIC CAGE?!?!?!? literally the movie in the world ever.
