okay, watched one episode, and i have a bunch of small AND BIG nitpicks/complaints about the atla live action so far.. but after you survive the first completely unnecessary 20 minutes where Aang's line reads are super awkward and very exposition heavy, he flies for some fkin reason (what about Zaheer being the first in hundreds of years to do so????), and which changes why Aang left the air temple and how he gets frozen in ice (which completely changes the significance and weight of him leaving, aka "running away", which he doesn't actually do here), the rest of the first episode is... kinda okay?

yeah the opening intro animation is horrendous ps3 level animation imo. the first 20 minutes are not needed and change way too much, messes with the weight of Aang's actions and the events that occur at the air temple, Appa looks a little too grimy for my taste, the costumes are waaay to clean and brand new-looking, the bending animation quality varies a lot and feels a little off at times (especially earth bending imo) and Gran Gran basically just recites the original opening's words for some fkin reason???, but other than that it's... okay?

I was most scared about Sokka being unfunny and losing his personality with all the rumors about how they changed him, but he's actually pretty much the same - but yeah, his sexism is toned down pretty much to 0.5 (there's still a little bit of it if you pay attention but it's not even close to the original, which btw i still think was a super dumb move to remove but watever)

i watched the first episode on netflix so i did give them some support with my view, but idk if i'll continue there or.. khm.. elsewhere.. i want to like this show, i want to enjoy it, i want to give it a chance because it's a story that is worth being told for newer generations too, and i want the young cast to succeed, because i do see potential, but i still feel very weird about the whole project. i feel like they wanted to improve on an already amazing product that didn't need improving in the first place, and all the changes that i've seen so far are ranging from meh to horrible. so i'm not sure if i'll finish the whole thing, or where i'll finish it IF i do..

i am glad that a lot of people are enjoying it tho. and i don't mean to rain on anyone's parade. if you like it, good for you, enjoy. spread the word about WHY you like it.... and maybe encourage people to check out the original too?

my only hope in this is that the live action will get more people interested in atla overall, and more people will watch the original, AND korra, and interest in future atla projects will grow so the upcoming (actually canon) movies and shows can succeed.

anyway, that's my two cents for now..

Complex feelings about copyright and Disney's appalling ethics aside, it does unsettle me how quickly people jump to make and monetize the most unnerving, depraved content imaginable about characters created for children the second it hits the public domain

Sometimes i remember a comics moment i randomly came across somewhere, where Sam Wilson mentiones a musical and Steve Rodgers says he doesn't like musicals, to whitch Sam goes "Guess that means you really are straight" and even tho i don't care about Cap America or the Avengers, the moment stuck in me for that quote by Sam. And like....Sci, any ideas if straight men actually don't like musicals or is that bullshit?

actually i think i know more gay men who hate musicals than i know straight men who hate musicals. i've had a drag queen stop me point blank when i was about to sing a barbra streisand song, and i know so many gays who pointedly hate abba. so based on my experience i think the inverse is true. most of the straight men i know are kind of impartial about musicals, but gay men? hate.

my theory is that a lot of gay men don't want to fall into stereotypes, maybe. but thaaaaat's just a theory! a gay theory.

i look at the spies are forever tag and i see post after post about curt and owen, and it gets so frustrating sometimes. i look at the ao3 tag and find pages and pages and pages about them, and barely a fraction of that for the other characters. analysis post after analysis post about owen carvour, but i make a post about tatiana, and it somehow comes back to curtwen, despite me never even mentioning owen in the post.

curtwen as a ship is roughly 87% of the spies tag. curt is 90%, owen is 88%. tatiana is 26%, barb is 20%. so!

and of course curt will be the most popular, he's the main character! but im more than a little annoyed, because there is a drastic difference between the percentage of fics with curt and owen, and the ones with tatiana and/or barb.

all that just to say, lets pay more attention to the other characters in spies, yeah? yeah.

i must not quit my job. quitting my job is the income killer. quitting my job is the little-death that brings little caesar's and tap water. i will face the urge to quit my job. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone i will blog angrily about it and see its path. when the urge to quit my job has gone there will be nothing. only a weak resolve to suffer through one more pay period will remain

Genuinely curious about this so I’m gonna ask you guys,

If you are/were a fan of TribeTwelve, what did you like about the series?

[taeyungie]

hi ♡ i guess i'm back? 🥹

here's a little life update! i think you guys deserve it after my absence that lasted longer than even i expected it to last ;( i am very sorry about that. i miss everyone here and bangtan so much, you have no idea. the reason for all that is that for the past months i have been going through a lot of things and changes in my life. there were good and bad things happening, time flies extra fast, days melt into one and i didn't even notice the past half a year pass. although i think my absence was unavoidable in these circumstances i just thought that you guys deserve to know what's been up with me for the past months haha i have received a lot messages and reminders that people remember about me and that they miss me and i just want to send all of you my biggest apologies for leaving you for so long with no response, as well as all my love and gratitude! 🥺 i think i've been always fairly transparent on here so if anyone wanted to know more I'll leave some more details in the tags but basically I just hope that soon i will be able to become more active again and respond to messages ❤️❤️❤️ i hope everyone is doing great 🥰

Steggy vs Stucky: A look into the dynamics between the two

I just wanted to take out a little comparison I did between Steve's relationship with Peggy and with Bucky, this is by no means a hate to any ship and yeah I'm pulling it out from another rant of mine.

1. Steggy: Birds of a feather

"I know what it feels like to have every door shut in your face".

Steve and Peggy first bond over an equal understanding of what it is to be undermined, what it is to constantly be fighting to prove to others your value because by being a woman/weak man, everyone looks past you.

Peggy is a strong willed woman that clearly won't settle or compromise where she can't, words that even come out at her own funeral, Steve sees her as an equal and respects both her choices and her agency, both kind of feed on each other on their willingness to act and serve and help others so for their dynamic I'll say they are equally matched in both leading and being led, I believe they trust each other because they know their values align and understand each other's struggles as well while also allowing themselves to be vulnerable around each other due to that shared trust they created.

2. Stucky: Opposites attract

Bucky is very different, he's exactly the opposite, he's a man of his time, he's charming, healthy, strong and noble but he isn't too moved to act the way Steve is, he isn't as strong headed as Steve is but thanks to Steve he gets inspired to stand up for others, remember that while Steve tried to enlist, they had to draft Bucky. One of the things about their relationship is that Bucky treats Steve like a friend, not a sickly kid, he pushes Steve out of his comfort zone, I mean he put him on the Cyclone, they rode on the back of a freezer truck, Bucky drags Steve into his adventures but always, always watching his back, Bucky never shies away on taking care of Steve either and that care and loyalty is really what drives Steve to do everything to save Bucky when he becomes the Winter Soldier, Bucky always looked after him, it's his turn to repay the favor.

In conclusion, the way Steve bonds both with Peggy and Bucky are because of veeeeery different reasons, that's kinda my beef with What if, they shuffled these characters and think they can just copy paste the plot but the plot is made because of these dynamics, so of course it doesn't work, it feels off or tone deaf, specially when they try so hard to replicate the scenes.

They had to make a new storyline based on who these characters are and not on plots they wanted to recycle.
