hello hi here to force strange thoughts into your brain once again, this time about jrwi (wow who could’ve guessed)
been thinking about this for a little but it’s basically what i think some campaigns would be if not podcasts, i haven’t listened to some of the older ones so i’m sorry they’re not on here :(( if you have any ideas feel free to add them btw :DD
RIPTIDE!!!!! - really long animated series
not an anime though, no matter how much grizzly wants it, it would be an animation style where the characters could have very clearly different nose, face and body shapes, really pushing my riptide nose agenda here sorry, each episode would be like 20-40 minutes long and instead of coming out in seasons there would be massive gaps in between episodes, from 2-6 months long, to leave time for writers and animators to get stuff done (massive team of animators btw, i feel like it would be pretty successful)
PRIME DEFENDERS!! - comics
literally nothing else they could be, just really well made, well performing comics (i’ve already talked about this before you can stalk my talk tag if you really want to find it lmao), the comic company making them would be keeping well away from movies n shit btw
APOTHEOSIS!!! - i wasn’t really sure about this one to be honest
i had to ask my friend and she said anime which i don’t agree with but i can see it, i think maybe a short book series where each book is 150 - 300 pages and is about a different god they have to kill/a different episode, i think that works but if anyone has any better ideas please tell me :D!!
BLOOD IN THE BAYOU!!! - i hate to say it, i really do…
bitb would be a really long really good 80s horror book with strong homoerotic undertones, a satisfied fanbase and lots of active members in the community making fan comics, films, writing, theories and art ect… until well after the book came out……….. and then it would be made into the most egregious and awful live action movie you have ever seen, the most awful casting (like chris pratt as officer dudes….. throws up) and even worse sfx, oh yeah and the characters would be ruined and the story would become so butchered it wouldn’t make sense, they would do some shit like cut out becky so kian just kisses some random lady (removing both a really good and well written character and a layer of kian’s character that i think is super important) and make rolan really be an evil bug spy the whole time so rand has to kill him to save the town also add in a whole new sub plot that never existed like the rand family is secretly a long line of bug alien hunters or something fucking stupid like that and the entire fanbase would murder whoever thought re-writing the story was a good idea (ahaha can you tell ive been through something like this before ahahaha, character morals and motives being removed and whatnot ahahahhahahaha.)
anyways………
THE SUCKENING!!! - live action series
it would be well made though, unlike the bitb movie it would be its own original thing, have great makeup and effects also be well casted and well shot, well written, ect ect, it would bloody and gory and not suitable for people who can’t handle showing bones and organs all over everywhere, lots of shitty rip off merch would be made though and the fandom would be 99% gay little freaks (normal suckening enjoyers) and 1% homophobic straight white men who get mad whenever they see soda and emizel having gay sex on screen or whatever fag shit that biting thing was
again feel free to add your thoughts and ideas and shit in the reblogs it would be nice to read them :DD!!

Race, Live-Action Casting, and Ninjago
I'll start by saying something everyone can agree on.
No Chris Pratt.
Now that's out of the way I want to state my purpose for this rant. It's to spark discussion. I want to hear other people's ideas and perspectives. I'm one Asian American out of literal billions. I know after typing everything out I'll feel bad, but this feels like a discussion the fandom needs to address. Every perspective is worth considering and thinking through.12
I'm not worried about the casting. Warner Bros. is a big studio that doesn't want any negative press. At least, Kai and Nya are going to be Asian. I'm worried about the other Ninja, mainly Lloyd. But I think the studio doesn't want to be cancelled, so that's not my number one worry. My number one worry is Garmadon. If Garmadon is in the movie, will his skin be literally black? his can be sidestepped if Garmadon isn't included period. But the Hagemans love their emo dad. Still, I don't want blackface Garmadon.
My theory is the casting will have a similar model to what Avatar did in it's live action. There were white voice actors, now they're played by a diverse cast. Kiawentiio is amazing, but not as tan as Katara was in the animated series. (That's a discussion within itself) There was a controversy with Ian Ousley. I'm not going to get into those topics, but they did happen.
However, the worry for many comes from the fact Ninjago is more racially ambiguous than Avatar: The Last Airbender. Almost all the characters-with exceptions being the Water Tribes and Sun Warriors-are Asian. Avatar: The Last Airbender has characters with a variety of skin tones and facial features. Ninjago has almost all of it's characters with yellow skin. Which is typical for LEGO, but feels iffy in an Asian inspired world. The fact everyone has yellow skin lends to an almost race blind world. However, names come from countries. Completely human characters have blond/ginger hair. Lloyd and Master Wu have blond hair. Master Wu is especially weird because he has the aesthetic of the Hollywood wise old Asian martial arts teacher there to help the protagonist. But he's blond.
In a cartoon I can suspend my disbelief. In the show I can't see facial features. Everyone in Ninjago has the same eyes, unless if you're a robot, one of the very few women, or Lloyd. I can live with this in an animated show from the 2010s.
In live action films, there are close-up shots. People will stand next to each other. I know what real life people look like when I'll see the movie. This shouldn't matter to me. I shouldn't care so much, but the history of whitewashing roles in media is too vast. We interpret the world through race.
White is the default in the US. Examples being Ghost in the Shell Warriors TV series. Asian roles for media set in Asia for Asian roles are cast by white people with white people since 1961.
What I want to know is the world of the live action going to be Asian inspired? And the better question: should it?
I don't know.
Ninjago since day 1 has had a tenuous at best relationship with race. It is clearly in an Asian inspired world. Everyone knows Ninjas come from Japan. However, it's just an aesthetic.
The worldbuilding is very Western. If we compare to Avatar again, there is no use of any Asian philosophy in Ninjago. Avatar is chalked full of allusions to Buddhism and Japanese Imperialism. But, Avatar is a more well thought out show than the show where one of the main characters gets sent into another dimension and becomes evil, violates the Geneva convention then is given no acknowledgement and I hate it.
Ninjago when giving us culture that seems Asian inspired to me fails spectacularly. (The Kabuki from Chen's Island. That's a Tumblr rant within itself) The most obvious example being the yin and yang marriage proposals. They have Google! The writers could've gone down an internet rabbit hole for a variety of cultures. But we have this clumsy, "Will you be the Yin to my Yang?" It's stupid and I hate it.
However, Ninjago in the Wildbrain era started to move away from the Asian aesthetic. One could make the argument it started in Rebooted, but I'm saying Wildbrain era to keep this post short. We go to a pyramid in Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu. We meet the Ice people from the Never Realm which I think are inspired by the Inuit. I'm not too sure.
Dragon's Rising has done away with any resemblance to Asian culture. Sora is Japanese name, so maybe? But all the resemblance is from the old show. It's a fantasy show. They are a soft reboot. They could make their dragons look like literally anything in this soft reboot and they stick to the Western style ones. It's this big fantasy world, why am I not seeing any allusions Asian folklore?
But can't I blame Ninjago when they fumble so hard when they try. It's a lose lose situation. But research isn't worth it. Is a culture too inconvenient to even research? Because everything seems absorbed from other pieces of American media. Yin Yang has nothing to do with marriage-at least to my knowledge. It has to do with Daoism. There is no research or attempt. The show hasn't done a legitimate attempt in it's full run and that's sad.
We're seeing that when the Hageman brothers write they don't shy away from the Asian aspects of the world. Or maybe there was less understanding of Asian representation when the show first aired so they could do whatever they wanted. (And Wildbrain and Dragons Rising are more popular so have higher stakes if they fuck up too bad) This is racist, but it isn't coming from hatred. It's coming from ignorance. If this came from hatred why make a show about ninjas?
The Hageman brothers have demonstrated ignorance in their writing. I've been saying Asian instead of specific countries because everything is so monolithic in the show. It would be amazing to have this world for a big franchise shown to kids around the globe. (Especially to Americans who might not watch a show with an authentic cultural world if it didn't tie to Ninjago) But that's not going to come from them. It's never going to come from them.
Authentic Asian representation was lost when the writers were picked. I have no doubt there'll be sensitivity readers, but there'll most likely be a cultural erasure. I'm not mad at the Hagemans. I'm not even mad at Hollywood. But I'm disappointed in Warner Bros.
Please respond with your own opinion. If you agree or disagree with any of my points. Hell, if I said something racist let me know. I want this post to get people thinking and talking about their own opinions on casting and writing.

Things I noticed during my Sonic Movie rewatch:
- Sonic was so small and cute I'm gonna cry
- This is genuinely a really beautiful movie, has plenty of gorgeous shots. Great cinematography.
- Tom and Maddie's relationship was handled really well. They written like a strong couple who are very supportive of each other.
- love this version of Robotnik more than the one in the sequel tbh. It's more removed from his game counterpart but he's more true to the doctor's core traits (his ego, love for machines and dislike for humanity).
- James Marsden has unparalleled dad energy. Could you imagine if they got someone like Chris Pratt to play Tom?
-The CGI and effects aged really well, it genuinely looks better than a lot of current superhero movies despite being four years old.
- Jim Carrey and Lee Majdoub changed lives.
- I understand the complaints regarding the soundtrack in Sonic 2, but the one in this movie was really memorable. My favorite tracks are "Welcome to Green Hills", "Dr. Robotnik" and "He is my Friend".

POV: The year is 2028. You're in the theater watching the third Super Mario Bros. movie. New Donk City is in chaos; Mario and DK can't fight off Bowser's massive army alone. It's the all-is-lost moment. As a tidal wave of Goombas approaches, Mario and DK look at each other, resigned to their fate.
Suddenly, a golden star shoots across the sky and pierces one of Bowser's airships; it explodes instantly. "What was that?" DK (Seth Rogen) shouts. Mario (Chris Pratt) throws his first up, "Party time!"
Next, thunder roars, and a giant bolt of lightning lands right in the middle of the Goombas, causing many of them to pop. When the smoke clears, Pikachu is standing in the crater. Mario runs up to him. "Thought you weren't coming!" Mario says. Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) smirks. "Peach made me an offer I couldn't refuse." [A fourth wall reference to some legal dispute between Nintendo and GameFreak that almost kept Pikachu out of the movie].
Samus somersaults into the frame and fires at some floating Shy Guys; she lands in a cool pose. "Superhero landing!" Pikachu cheers because you need to remember he is Ryan Reynolds.
Link jumps into the scene from behind Samus. He slashes at a dozen or so Dry Bones. Nothing happens until Link sheaths the Master Sword, and then they all crumble into a pile of bones.
The shooting star from earlier circles the group, and Kirby hops off. We get a slow shot of the heroes standing side by side. The Brawl theme plays as the citizens of New Donk City cheer with renewed hope. Bowser's army has regrouped and is now even larger. "Let's hurry this up, boys," Samus (Jennifer Lawrence) says. "I don't work for free."
"We should compare paychecks after this," Ryan Reynolds - I mean Pikachu says.
"Wait!" Everyone turns to Link (Tom Holland). "You guys are getting paid?"
The group exchanges awkward glances. "Talk later, smash now!" Mario says. "Let's-a-go!"
This movie makes 3 billion dollars.

what's something you would want to see in an animated adaptation of the underland chronicles?
Oh BOY where to begin?
These are going to be in no particular order...
Each trailer should have the prophecy read out in a dramatic voice. The trailer for the first one will go "And eight will be left when we count up the dead" and then a quick montage of some pretty scary shit happening but the cuts are too fast to see what's actually happening. The only exception to this is the marks of secret where the fact that the song is a prophecy is a reveal (however the song plays in full in the trailer, it's just structured different from the others)
The animation should be a little edgy. Give things hard angles, stay away from the bulbous smooth (Modern) Disney look.
Really go nuts with the bat designs. Embrace the warrior cats OC-ness of it. Let all the background bats be just as vibrant and wacky as the main cast.
Everyone's bond should sorta look like them, kinda the way that dogs kinda look like their owners. Solovet's bond should look like a total villain. Euripides should look like Vikus. I mean, Aurora's got that gold thing going on which Luxa also has with the crown. The bonds gotta look like they belong together spiritually.
The nibblers need to have more of a role before the marks of secret. Have them in the background of other shots, have them actually get lines in the jungle, see if they can be more present at the council discussing the plague, write some new scenes for them, etc. I wouldn't even be against them inventing a new nibbler character and putting them on one of the earlier quests. The audience should already know and care about them before we see them being horribly brutalized in a reenactment of a real world genocide.
Ares, and all the other bats for that matter, need to have very expressive eyes. They don't always get a lot of lines so they should still have a way to have visible presence in the scene's that they're in.
Every time the bats do that thing where they detect rats and their ears shoot up it should play a musical sting
All the underland creatures/factions should have their own leitmotif. Ripred's lieitmotif should be this uncanny blending of both the rat's theme but also with hints of the Regalians and Gregor's. After Gregor think's that boots has died in the labyrinth there should be this super dramatic and gutwrenching theme, and then all the music just stops for the rest of the movie until they reunite and then the music can come back. The most you get is like a minimalist drum and base sequence, but nothing properly melodic until we know that boots is safe.
The sequence Gregor escaping with Ares and Pearlpelt from the labyrinth should be all in one take.
Every time Gregor slips into the Rager state it should be accompanied by a recognizable sound effect sting and have it's own sound effect and muscial sting. Something like glass shattering mixed with reverb and pitch shifted down. Rager sequences should be in first person and show just how much he's dissociated from the violence he's doing. The audience just sees that split vision with all the weak points highlighted and one by one they get crossed out.
I hope they cast someone appropriately nasally to play Ripred, I think he should be a little high pitched and scrungly. However, I would make an exception if they somehow got Kieth David to voice him. I would be very unsatisfied if they cast Ryan Reynolds
I hope they cast someone with a deep voice to play Ares. He needs to be big and imposing and scary. He needs to be like the big kid at the playground. The fact that there's a more pained sensitive side to him needs to be a revelation. He needs to be a bit monstrous so you can understand why everyone sees him that way, and why he's dying not to be seen that way but has basically given up and accepted how the world sees him. I would be very Unsatisfied if they cast Ryan Reynolds. It would be fucking hilarious if they cast Chris Pratt... I would hate it but it would probably work and that makes me very mad.
I don't really care how Gregor is cast. Caleb McLaughlin would be a perfect Gregor, but he's all grown up now. He could probably still voice him but it wouldn't be the same. I do not care so long as it's not Ryan Reynolds.
Please don't have anyone call Gregor "Greg"... that just feels wrong. Well maybe Ripred would do it specifically to piss him off.
Henry needs to have a dumb haircut, like... it has to be stupid and ostentatious.
The audience should get to see Ripred from close to Gregor's perspective often. Have the camera right over his shoulder and tilted up to see just how tall this beast is.
Let us see more of the happy times that are alluded to at the start of the marks of secret. Even if it's just a montage, let us see them being normal. Let us see Gregor and Ares play that ball game and see the kids just hanging out. Please 😭
Make Gregor more talkative. There's great moments of internal monologue that could be lost in a screen adaptation, let him talk to Ares or Luxa or even temp about it.
In the code of claw Ares should go with him to the prophecy room to learn that he's going to die. Gregor should tell him about the stone knight and it can be something they share. You can even set it up with them doing the bond handshake there while laying on the floor so that it's a visual callback later (Fuck, I just thought of that and now I'm destroyed again).
I mentioned this in another post, but I think it would be cool to have Gregor get a walkman or other battery powered music player from the museum. They can have a few tunes to bond over, but eventually they have to take the batteries out to put them into flashlights.
A huge missed opportunity in the books is how basically every single human in the Underland we see is royalty or part of the military. I think it would be cool to let us see a bit more of how the regular people live. Maybe have one or two characters who aren't royal or soldiers.
Earlier entries should try to cut away from the violence, simply showing the character's reactions to the horrible things happening around them. Later entries should stop hiding it, paralleling the loss of innocence of the characters. By the code of claw Gregor and Ares, or at the very least Ripred, should be allowed to swear. There's no way you're getting that story on screen without at least a PG 13 rating, and these people just witnessed a genocide and are about to kill a bunch of people in a war. Gregor can say "Holy shit" instead of "aww Jeez" at least once. I also just think "What's your plaaaaaaan" is great but "What's your fucking plan?" lands pretty hard as well.
Don't make the underland too visible. Don't add global illumination. Let there be darkness, let there be long shadows, let us only barely see distant things. When Gregor finally gets echolocation then make the distant things visible through a strange shader... but cut out the bit where he can echolocate heat that makes no sense.
Ms. Cormaci needs to sound exactly like how she did in the audiobook, this isn't up for debate.
When the Bane calls Gregor and Ares to battle it needs to be one of the most disturbing, blood chilling things the audience has ever heard. It needs to be loud, and painful, and monstrous. You gotta see that the pup we all loved and coddled has fully lost it and become this fascist ball of hatred and murder and violence. It should cut through the audience's core and silence everything else in the scene. Just have it hold there after he's shouted, showing them locking eyes on each-other and cutting back in between the two. Yes, the Bane has completely been subsumed as a symbol of his side, but so has Gregor. He's in the black armor, he's the figurehead as well. There are parallels, y'all.
Let the Shiners be at least 20% less awful. They're funny, but let them have their hero moment where they're redeemed in the marks of secret rather than saving it for the end of code of claw.
Old Hamnet in the flashbacks to the flooding of the garden should be hot. Flashback Ripred who was there is of course also hot. He remains so in the present as well.
The narrative that Gregor is told in the first book, that the natives just let Sandwitch have the Underland because they weren't really using it... it's heavily implied that's a lie, especially after we learn about the Diggers and how they were genocided and basically expunged from history. I think there should be a direct callback to it, make this implication an explicit part of the story.
Give my girl Aurora some more lines. She goes on all these adventures and never gets to be more than "Luxa's bat".
Oh no I hit character limit for this post... uh... I have a lot of thoughts and I probably will have more in the future 😅. Probably way more than you asked for but you opened the floodgates and this was the result.
Thank you for the ask!

My thoughts about episode 10, season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina :
I already said what I think about Keyleth's character arc last episode. I will add that no matter what you think of her character changes, she's not exactly right when she says she that every time she brought Raishan's behavior up, Vox Machina did not listen. After Percy's death, she even admitted that they didn't listen to her and it lead to Percy's death. She didn't protest when Larkin brought up the so-called secret tunnel as a magic solution to get to Thordak's lair. Details, details... it matters. It gives that moment where Keyleth is angry at the group a little less depth and consistency.
Oh thank goodness they will finaly kill Ripley. Long overdue.
This line and shot made me laugh so much, I don't know why :
Tumblr media
Ashley's awkward stammering when Pike is asked about her and Scanlan's... relationship... is GOLD. she does it like no one else.
"There is an ancient ritual. It can locate someone over vast distances." Yeah yeah, Scry, we've all seen it.
The Water and Earth Ashari are so rude, interrupting Keyleth and all before she has time to explain. Also, if this is a Council, why is there only one lady taking decisions ??
Stillben ! Where it all began...
I love that they used slang sentences for the secret language of the Clasp. It's funny to hear. Also, my subtitles are always hearing impaired ones (I just prefer it that way), so I had both the dialogue and its traduction at the same time, hahaha.
THANK YOU KEYLETH for saying all the right things to the Council 2 electric bogaloo ! I especially love when she remembers them that they have a duty to Exandria. This is like that line in Guardians of the Galaxy when someone asks Chris Pratt's character why he wants to save the galaxy : "Because I'm one of the idiots who live in it !" First no matter what you think about Pratt (I think he's a dangerous asshole), his delivery of this line is perfect. Second, IT'S A FAIR ARGUMENT !!!!!
The bad consequence about the team being so fragmented is that... This episode is also very fragmented. I'm not sure I like it.
THEY SAID THE THING !!! ALSO THEY'RE PLAYING UK'OTOA !!
Tumblr media
I tried to rewatch all of Keyleth's visions, to try and discern if there is a connection to something we know, or easter eggs... So far, I noted only : there's a scene resembling Gelvaan ? A werewolf ? 5 mages floating ?? and of course a raven.

so I took my kid to see the new garfield movie this morning because he's been begging to see it since the trailer first dropped. it was fine. boring and predictable with chris pratt doing a voice not much different than the one he did for mario. anyway, it was fine whatever. but the product placement. holy SHIT. it was like the scene from wayne's world about not selling out but not ironic. every other scene there was a strategically placed product, perfectly set and framed in the shot. olive garden, heinz, walmart, fedex, sony, popcorners, a joke about using acorns instead of bluetooth earbuds because they couldn't get bluetooth in the movie. it's so pervasive it's honestly disgusting. especially in a children's movie. like kids aren't bombarded with ads enough. also there needs to be seizure warnings before the movie because holy fuck there are so many scenes with flashing lights. I still have a migrane and feel nauseous and we left the theater like 5 hrs ago.
thank you for coming to my impromptu ted talk.

Chapter 5: Made for Each Other
@adrinetteapril
Excerpt:
“You know as much as I do, Pine is better than Pratt!”
“But neither beat Hemsworth!”
“What started this conversation again?” Marinette looked quizzically between Alya and Anthony, before grabbing a hand of popcorn and shoving it into her mouth.
After the date - which wouldn’t be out of place on an episode of Punk’d - Marinette had called in her besties (well, two out of the three) to come and help her forget her mortification. Would it be unethical to give up the Miracle Box just to gain amnesia and forget about tonight?
“Just look at his butt, Marinette! No one can come close to that,” Anthony said, dramatically pointing at the screen. Oh yes! When you’ve had a bad date, nothing beats the scene in Thor: Love and Thunder when Thor’s clothes get ripped off – and reveal something that isn’t exactly Chris Hemsworth. Cue the drool!
“If that actually is his butt!” Her hands shot up to cover her mouth, Alya not missing a beat to jump on what she’d just said.
“Hold up!” She snorted. “Are you telling me that butt is our very own Buttercup?”
With her hands remaining over her mouth, Marinette shook her head aggressively side to side. She watched Anthony pause the screen and then stand up, walking towards it and tilting his head to the side. “That’s Adrien’s butt? How did I not know! I look at it enough.”
Yep, she was going to relinquish the box and forget about this day. Could it actually get any worse?

Number
Media Death of a Superhero
Character Donald
Couple Donald X Reader
Rating Sweet
Tumblr media
I sat on the desk watching him, Donald sat drawing in his notebook. We were meant to be discussing the topic for the lesson while the teacher popped out for something, we knew she'd be gone until five minuets before the bell so of course, no one actually was everyone was busy talking about their own business but of course, Donald and I shared a table so not much conversation was really flowing. 
He didn't care.
Honestly neither did I.
But I didn't want to just sit in silence.
"So... What are you doing?" I asked leaning on my elbow,
"Drawing," he answered not even picking his head up, 
"Uhh... okay.... what are you drawing?"
"Comic."
"What's the comic about?"
"Superhumans."
"Like superheroes?"
"No." he shot me down looking up at me, "Superhumans."
"Okay... sorry," I answered as the silence returned, "So... like Xmen mutants kinda superhumans?"
"No,"
"Like... Avengers superhumans?"
"No."
"So like what then?"
"Like...." he sighed, "Like superhumans based on their environmental elements, not mutants, not gods, not aliens, not cyborgs, But manipulated humans based on their environmental tragedies." 
"... Like Batman villains?" 
"What?"
"Like Batman villains,"
"How like Batman villains?" he glared, 
"You know, Mr freeze has to freeze his beloved wife to keep her from dying, but it goes wrong and now he has to keep his body in a suit in order to make sure he is kept at a low temperature, and only does the crimes to fund research into his wife cure," I explain, "Or like poison ivy who in her attempts to look into the ancient plant life and ends up getting poisoned but it goes wrong so her DNA becomes mixed with the plants turning her into a sexy eco-terrorist," I explained "Or even babydoll... aww babydoll is so sad with a condition that makes her appear young when she is actually really old and her show gets cancelled so she goes out for revenge on the old cast and crew members for taking away her only purpose in life," I explained, "Like that Donald?"
"... Yes, like Batman villains," he nodded before returning his eyes to his book, "I uhh... I didn't know you liked comics," he glanced up at me,
"Kinda hard to avoid them," I shrug,
"Yeah but... most girls aren't into that kinda stuff." he said "Or they like the Avengers for Captain America's butt, thors Abbs and sexy Loki," 
"I mean... I wouldn't say no to a sexy Loki," I laughed, "But I get your point it becomes some mainstream people just kinda like the generic stuff,"
"So you don't then?"
"Well... I admit I did see Morbius half for the meme and half for Matt Smith,"
"I think everyone saw it for the meme," he laughed, "But like you didn't see Guardians just for Chris Pratt?" 
"No, mostly for the soundtrack,"
"It is a great soundtrack," he chuckled, "Any other stuff?"
"Well... Wandavision is an amazing visualization of grief," 
"It really is," he nodded, "Would uhh... would you wanna come to the comic book store with me sometime?"
"I'd like that," I nodded,
"Great... I uhhh... I'm not busy tonight? We can walk there together after class and then I could walk you home?"
"I'd like that," I smiled, "but I've got my mum picking me up today we have to go visit family,"
"Ohh," he nodded, but I could see the disappointment on his face, 
"But I'm not busy tomorrow," I shurg, "Here," I smiled taking his pen and his hand and I wrote my number across his hand with a little heart, "Texted me and I'll meet you there, maybe we can go out for ice cream after?"
"I uhhh I'd really like that," he nodded,

Transformers One Trailer
That new trailer and I have some thoughts? Surprisingly.
I don't normally watch trailers anymore and I've said why before but it basically boils down to they spoil too much too much of the time and what's the point if I'm sold anyway. Now Transformers One seems like a no-brainer, gives those fans a prequel origin sort of thing as well as an introduction for the newbies who only know the Bay and Rise and Bumblebee movies in animation no less so completely different. Then I saw the images of the designs and oh man0
Tumblr media
It looks generic. Like I never watched Transformers Prime, it has its fans but I just do not like that art style and this started making me think of that, like it wasn't finished. I much would've preferred a 2D movie but 3D can be done, look at the War for Cybertron trilogy (which I've already talked about)
Tumblr media
Nice and stylized, distinguished, scuffed metal, I wanna lick them. Anyways, that's a show though, it'd look good as a movie and heck, T-One looks good as a show but I don't know, is it just me? I also didn't finish the trilogy because the first one was good and I thought it'd only get better but reviews for the second one came out and they were bogus so I dropped it.
But then I watched the trailer-
Tumblr media
And it looks better! Notice anything? They're all close up shots! And you mean to tell me this is the same movie>
Tumblr media
Ugh. Visuals out of the way, cast. Why? We don't need all these celebrity voices and I'm someone who supports Peter Cullen just being Optimus all the time but I also understand that he's getting older just like Charles Martinet did with Mario leaving the character in a specific position but you didn't get Chris Pratt?? No I'm just kidding, we got Chris Hemsworth, and really, I can't even tell that it's him, I saw his name attached and I was like "Here we go again" and there are a few times where he had traces of that Cullen voice pattern and it's like an adolescent Optimus settling into his voice- wait am I complementing? Stop that.
Josh Cooley is directing and he's got a pretty decent track record with Pixar, we even see Keegan Michael Key again for whatever reason- oh, it's goofy, it's made for children
Tumblr media
"But he says bad ass!" mehmehmehmehmeh, so do the other movies twit, somehow, someway, they get away with anything. He's gotta go and announce everything that's happening "I have knives?!" "I have machine guns in my butt?!" Stupid even for a kid, especially menaging Megatron, what'd you do to my angry baby? He's just reading the script, I know, which also isn't great. So, instead of just being a race of transformers, they're a race of robots that gain the ability to transform to save Cybertron. There's the generic nature again! I also don't see it in the trailer but with the toys, they have this weird thing where they use energy to summon their weapons? Bumblebee is fine with the "KNIVES" but
Tumblr media
"I put my hand on a ba-all to see if I still bleeeeddd and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda freeeeee" What is that? Just give him an axe, he doesn't have to summon it and then attach it to a ball. But wait- the design is different here, what's going on? These toys don't match up with the movie. Like, look at Bumblebee before and after he transforms, he doesn't look like the toy does (I've used enough pictures, do some leg work) and Megatron...just looks like Megatron and I know these are movie toys, just look at Alpha Trion, so I don't know how much of it is an accurate conversion between the two and I normally wouldn't care but it's that ball that drives me bonkers.
BUT I will say that I support Scarjo playing- who is she playing? Because that's not Arcee. Elita One? Cool name, at least. Oh, she's an OG, we're good then. Lawrence is also a good one. Anyways, disappointed, we'll see.

Guardians of the Galaxy VOL. 3
Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill rallies his team to defend the universe and one of their own - a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians.
Ever since EndGame, the MCU has been a complete mess. After numerous critical and box office flops, the franchise has become directionless and soulless. However, the only group of the MCU that still has somewhat of a soul would be the Guardians of the Galaxy. The surprise hit from 2014 took a bunch of nobodies and turned them into a household name. But the question remained on whether or not this group will finally meet their end was up in the air. With the firing and rehiring of James Gunn, their future was uncertain. However, with the announcement that this would be the final Guardians movie, my hopes were renewed and met. Guardians of the Galaxy VOL. 3 is a satisfying and surprisingly moving conclusion to the galaxy's favorite mischiefs.
The heart of VOL. 3 is Rocket, The Raccoon. His story is central to the film as we are shown his heartbreaking backstory. This backstory delves into the darkest material that the MCU has shown. The tone is serious, and a joke is thankfully not found in these scenes. This tonal consistency is what Marvel has been desperately lacking over the past couple of years. The MCU never treated serious moments seriously, and it was a breath of fresh air to see Marvel take itself seriously. As with all Gunn films, the jokes stick their landing, especially the MCU's first F-Bomb. The dialogue is witty and smart, with only a handful of questionable lines. The action is spectacular, though it does run into the MCU trope of a massive CGI battle in its final act. Lastly, all of the characters have their proper and bittersweet send-off that perfectly complements each character. VOL. 3 has a soul that doesn't feel like it was made by a corporate machine.
What adds to my further suprisement is that the actors took their acting seriously here and delivered some of the best acting performances in the MCU. As previously stated, Rocket was the heart of this film, and Bradley Cooper's voice acting here is excellent. His performance is heartbreaking and moving. If there was an Oscar category for voice acting, Cooper would absolutely win it. As for the rest of the returning actors, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillian, Vin Diesel, and Pom Klementieff they all deliver. They all return to form with their original characters but are given much more to work with as each character is given more layers. Chukwudi Iwuji was one of the most terrifying MCU villains to date, or at least within the first two acts. In the final act, it was hard to take him seriously with his character's constant screaming and shouting. Will Poulter is wasted as Adam Warlock. He is not given all that much to do other than being a bumbling idiot.
As with all Guardians films, the soundtrack has to be kickass, which VOL. 3 lacked. The majority of needle drops were a mixed back, with only four drops actually sticking the landing. The accompanying score is also lacking, as with all MCU films. The character and production design were colorful and unique. The VFX, for the most part, was pretty good, with only a handful of shots of questionable CGI. My only other complaint was the first act was a bit of a mess and scrambling trying to figure out what it wanted to be. Once the movie figured that out, it hit all the strides that it needed to.
Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy VOL. 3 is a heartbreaking and moving send-off to our favorite misfits. It feels like Phase 2 and 3 of Marvel. It has a creative soul that actually cares about its characters and story. This is what the MCU has lost; hopefully, this will be a lesson.
I am giving Guardians of the Galaxy VOL. 3. an A-.

mario movie predictions
(for context I’m writing this before the trailer has been released)
this will not be a “good movie”
unfortunately, it also won’t be bad in interesting ways
you’ll definitely be able to tell that many people who worked on this care about the source material. background details will be filled with deep-cut references to things from across the whole franchise, including things nintendo hasn’t acknowledged in decades
those will be completely overshadowed by the lore references in the script, which are the most Dorkly-ass nostalgia bait “hey remember Mario?” type gags a committee of soulless writers could come up with
it’s (at least partially!) an origin story, obviously, but they’re not allowed to deviate from established “canon” enough to come up with anything interesting. the best they can do is reference relatively lesser-known games like Wrecking Crew. they won’t reference Mario Bros. (Game & Watch) because they’re cowards.
it’s a comedy, but they only have like five good jokes. all five of those jokes will be featured in the trailer, so a bunch of people who don’t know how trailers work will think it looks good
the majority of the gags are jokes you’ve heard a million times before. peach sure gets kidnapped a lot! did you know mushrooms are also drugs? if you’re the Mario Brothers does that mean your name is Mario Mario? hey what if “cake” is a euphemism for something!! mario eats mushrooms he’s on shrooms get it
chris pratt’s mario voice is okay. it sounds kinda like mario’s voice in hotel mario, but with less personality
charles martinet’s cameo is as mario. the first time mario says something, it’s in martinet’s voice, then he clears his throat and has a more boring voice for the rest of the movie
princess peach girlboss moments
there’s a “mario is a bad brother” subplot. mario mistreats luigi consistently, and it’s not resolved by mario growing as a person it’s resolved by luigi doing something cool and “earning” mario’s respect
coincidentally mario DOES grow as a person, when he eats the super mushroom : )
in accordance with the Post-Frozen Law of Animated Villains, there will be a surprise bad guy reveal. there are several ways this could go:
bowser as a villain is played straight for the first act, then mario rescues peach and that’s the end of the Origin Story portion. afterwords, the REAL villain comes in, and the gang has to team up with bowser to stop them! and that real villain, of course, is
Foreman Spike, from Wrecking Crew
Donkey Kong
Yoshi (revenge for being thrown into pits)
Wario (wahahahaha)
Luigi (mario is a bad brother subplot final form)
Waluigi (featuring meta jokes about how waluigi hasn’t been in enough games)
Peach (girlboss moments)
ALTERNATIVELY, one of the above is the villain at first, then there’s a third-act twist that. bowser is the villain.
there will be one shot, somewhere, where the super crown powerup appears in the background along with a bunch of other items, and people on twitter will freak out about how this is a canon reference to bowsette
