#but this is very lil actual critique and more my sleepy brain spit balling ideas

[filmfactors]

end thoughts: i need to badly go to bed and ill probably have to rewatch this movie to properly digest it but i felt it was a lil boring in that standard way, not great but not terrible, its the classics of modern doraemon where it goes on for so long and focuses on things i care very little about: which is the side characters that shall only exist for this one film. sonya has been an exception for once in a long time of new character in these movies i can care about, reminds me of riruru in a sense... especially his relationship with doraemon. just makes me miss shizuka and rirurus dynamic if i think abt it too much however?

it also does that great sin i tend to dox points for in the movies: pushing the other three into the background so it can become 'nobita + doraemon & the side characters movie' it was tolerable-ish this time around bc i understand the premise of why [and enjoyed it!] but earlier sentiments still stand

the threat of this movie aka bugification is still very silly to me, ik the guy had a bigger more dangerous plot but i cant get around bugifying. its funny.

the part i like the most is highlighting the kids friendships with each other, the acknowledgement of the others flaws and good traits- i like nobita being torn on whether its a good thing or not suneo and gian are changing like this... would have loved if that was more of the focus! but it came and went oh so quick.
