I never understood why people hate on Amber and Richie's motive when it's far from the worst in the franchise, in my opinion. So here's a little rant of my opinions on all Ghostface motives. Billy Loomis: his motive literally makes no sense to me but because he's one of the original Ghostfaces, everyone puts him on a pedestal. He kills Maureen because she's sleeping with his father, Hank, causing his mother, Nancy, to leave them. Makes sense, he could have stopped there. Instead he targets Sidney for literally nothing. Just simply because she's the daughter of the woman who broke up his family. It would have made more sense to go after Sidney while Maureen was still alive to make her suffer before killing her. Therefore, making his motive one of the dumbest in the franchise for me.

Stu Macher: his motive is simple yet affective; he has none, or at least as far as we know. Most real life murderers probably don't have much of a motive either so while it's realistic it's not exactly the most creative motive but really, how creative can you really get? There's only so many reasons to want to kill someone especially when the main target is the same unproblematic person just trying to live her life in peace.

Mickey Altieri: I love Mickey but he has one of the dumbest motives in the franchise and no one says shit. He literally just wants to get caught and blame the movies. Nancy did the right thing shooting him.

Nancy Loomis: one of the better motives, as Nancy herself says, good old fashion revenge. It's the first time in the franchise that the motive is revenge (no, I don't count Billy's motive as revenge. Maybe when it came to Maureen but not Sidney) so it's a fresh motive in these movies.

Roman Bridger: another motive I particularly like. I think of his motive less revenge and more resentment. No motive is good enough to kill but his is one of the ones where you could understand how someone who's mentally unstable could snap. Being abandoned by your mother just for her to have another child she loves and cares for and then turns you away once you try to reunite with her? I'd be upset too. I mean...not enough to kill but you get my point.

Charlie Walker: another dumb motive that no one talks about. As a matter of fact, does he even have one? We know he's a "Stab" fanatic and a simp for Jill so what I get from this is he was easy to persuade because he was already a fan of the movies and a horny teenage boy. I don't think he could've given a fuck less if he got famous from it.

Jill Roberts: her motive is one of the best and aged like fine wine. In the world we live in today, some people would quite literally kill to be famous. I know some people have complaints about it but it's really not that farfetched, people are mad crazy these days and kill for the stupidest reasons.

Amber Freeman: like Charlie, I don't know if we really get a motive for Amber. Richie seems so much more passionate about the "Stab" movies and their killing spree becoming a movie then she does (he literally doesn't shut up about it and barely lets Amber give her motive or intentions.) What I got from watching the movie was that Amber was a fan of horror movies in general (she very clearly likes "Psycho," "Halloween" and "Friday The 13th") but she claims she's been obsessed ever since her parents bought Stu Macher's house, where the first murder spree took place, implying she didn't care as much before moving in. She also says her and Richie had similar ideas, not the same. I think her motive was more like Stu's and was to just kill for the fun of it. If her and Richie's motives were in fact the same, it's still a decent motive and original compared to the Ghostfaces before. If her motive was similar to Stu's, it's still a decent motive just unoriginal.

Richie Kirsch: his motive is a lot more crystal clear than Amber's. As I already mentioned above, he doesn't shut up about it. He hated the recent "Stab" movie and thought creating a new killing spree would provide new source material to make a better movie than the last. Considering how upset people in the "Scream" fandom got about this movie (and how other fandoms get with their respective franchises) just proves that his motive isn't that dumb. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened in real life, especially when you take into consideration that these movies inspired real life murders already.

Jason Carvey: his motive wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. He was just another fanatic (which is repetitive of the last movie) wanting to continue "Richie's film" (fuck Amber, I guess...I hate how this movie down played her when she carried Richie) but since he was an opening kill, his motive probably wasn't meant to be all that great. Had he gotten further with his plan though, I wouldn't have hated it. PS: if you were expecting a Greg Bruckner paragraph, sorry but his bitch ass was killed before the plan was meant to be put into motion so therefore, he wasn't officially a Ghostface in my eyes. His motive would have been the same as Jason's anyway, as far as we know.

Wayne Bailey, Ethan Landry and Quinn Bailey: I'm going to include them all in one paragraph since their motives are all the same: good old fashion revenge. As Richie's father, brother and sister their only goal was to seek revenge on anyone who was involved in Richie's death. Nothing suggests that any of them had any additional motives. The motive itself is fine, I literally mentioned it was one of the better ones in my Nancy paragraph. The only problem I have with it is now it's become repetitive and unoriginal. It's basically just a knockoff of "Scream 2" with an extra killer. From my point of view, it's the only movie that straight up reuses a motive. To summarize: pansy ass mama's boy who's sad she abandoned him, psycho who was peer pressured, psycho who wants to get caught and taken to trial, mother seeking revenge, son who was abandoned by his mother and has resentment against his sister, simp horror fan, psycho who wants fame, horror fans who want a better installment in their favorite franchise, horror fans who want to continue the last Ghostfaces plans for a better installment in their favorite franchise and a family seeking revenge; notice how only one of these are almost exactly the same to another. (I guess Billy and Roman's could be categized as similar, being abandoned by their mothers, but they're different enough for me and Roman's motive was better and made more sense. Amber and Richie have the same or at least similar motive but because their partners in the same movie I'll allow it. Jason and Gregg's motive was meant to continue what Amber and Richie sought out to do but they were opening kills so their motive was kind of a throwaway and irrelevant anyway.)

The new X-Men series were recently announced including a brand new title starring Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, and a trio of brand new characters called Exceptional X-Men

We haven’t been teased with much, but I noticed that the new kids resemble the three alchemical primes of Salt, Sulfur and Mercury collectively known as the Tria Prima

Salt- Melee: Sturdy, Physical

Sulfur- AXO (Abandoned Explosive Ordnance): Combustion, Fire

Mercury- Bronze: Mutable, Mailable, Undefined Shape. Also Metallic themed

Kitty and Emma’s powers also create a duality. Emma’s Diamond Form is Super Dense but is also very Clear and even Light Refracting. Kitty’s powered form is Absolute Intangibility, almost like a ‘Shadow’ for which she derives her code name Shadowcat from. I wonder how these ideas might analog symbolically into the narrative.

*This analysis is based on speculation over prerelease teasers.

[fullscoreshenanigans]

*We never got to see the Paradise Hideout in its proper glory, along with all the characters introduced during that arc

**Isabella being reintroduced back into the story differently in S2e04 but still following the same path she took in the manga (minus her dying)

***The special ops team armed with guns being taken out during the bunker raid by a group of kids thirteen and under armed with a chair and a few bows and arrows and none of the finesse used to escape Grace Field

Wish we had ranked poll choices because all of these are terrible, but what hurts you the worst specifically.

I saw your post about Injustice Harley, and I agree, hardcore. I'm bigger into Marvel, and I'm a big Emma Frost fan, and seeing some writers and fans lean into this idea that she's just misunderstood, when that's partly true, but also, the woman manipulates, uses, and lies her way to what she wants, and the only reason she's a hero now is because what she wants aligns with the greater good. She's selfish, stuck-up, manipulative and has done some shitty things before, things she herself doesn't know if she deserves to be forgiven for. If I may posit a theory for Harley/Emma/this phenomenon in general? Fandom policing has made people really scared to have "problematic" faves, and so try to scrub them of any fault and wrongdoing, even when that's sometimes what makes them the most compelling, and writers lean into that

no absolutely, it's exactly what it feels like. problematic characters & liking them invite so much harassment in fan spaces nowadays that people will do the most to whitewash their problematic traits & behaviours in order to try & avoid that or convince themselves that they're morally still pure while liking these characters.

which is sad because i love seeing fucked up women characters & it feels like we're going back in regards to the treatment of female characters in a horsehoe effect.

I think the major characters in this story exemplify mistaken forms of love and conversely its truths.

Emma mistakes her repression for a form of love and learns that it comes from fear for her own state and whether she’ll be alone. The converse of this shows that love is about not fearing for yourself and about willing the good of the other even at personal cost. She embodies “if you love something, set it free; if it doesn’t return, it was never yours to begin with.”

Celeste, too, makes this mistake with Thomas. You could argue that for her, the converse is learning that love is not dependence or power or games or an enabling of bad behavior and that sometimes (more like often) it means that you let the person face the consequences of their actions. Celeste has to will Thomas' good by leaving, because without seeing how he hurt her, he will never change.

Thomas mistakes love for control and fails to recognize that it is respect.

Theo mistakes love for simple attraction and he's aware enough to try and rein himself in, but not enough for it to hold completely. The realization that love is actively protecting others was always present, but his failure to live up to that devastates him. By the end of the show, he comes to mistake love for an imposing, consuming force that demands perfection or, failing that, self-destruction. Celeste’s response to him tries to show that while love does ask for improvement and change and for a person to have the character he or she was meant to have, it also grants grace and forgiveness and mercy when mistakes are made.

Elaine mistakes love for positivity, and while love is a positive thing, it must bear things that aren't so positive. The converse is her learning to bear the harder parts instead of running.

Actually, all of Marinette and Adrien's kids have black hair (because black is a dominant trait and Marinette no one in Marinette's family has blond hair), but when Emma uses the black cat miraculous it dyes her hair Blonde with green highlights like Kitty Noir!

I don't make the rules, sry not sry.

i rant about resident evil and their writing / inclusion of the girls.

i jsut want 2 girls to go on their fucked up little adventures together is that too much to ask

i finally got to the halfway point of code veronica X and GODDDD i fucking knew they were gonna do this goddamn shit w/ steve and claire. i knew from the goddamn beginning even if i didnt want to admoit it...... residetn evil just cant be normal w/ a girl being paired w/ a guy. they just fucking cant

i understand that this is seen more among the older games (ashley + leon from re4 as well) and i cant speak for the og re3 nemesis but the way they wrote carlos and jill? its just.... why make these male characters say such bizarre and degrading and just ? nasty comments towards the female protag? do you really expecvt us to root for them? i just dont fcuking undeerstand, and this occurs in a remake too! they didnt bother to maybe just maaaybe take that bulllshit out. because jill's uncomfortable. IM uncomfortable. its just. godddd who the fuck caaaares STOP THIS TROPE

you see this same thing w/ steve and claire.... not oonly is steve incredibly fucking annoying the first second we meet him, he also continually acts as a nuisance towards her for a good quarter of the game. yeah sure theyre just building up to the Ground Breaking Emo backstory drop later, but. you already made me fucking hate this loser so goddamn much meaning im not gonna give a single shit about his development later. I JUST DONT CARE FOR HIM !!!!!! THEM MAKING HIM SO ANNOYINH RUINED ANY CHANCE OF ME CHANGING MY MIDN LATER.......

and GOD havent even mentioned this yet but. when i saw the little preview thing w/ the 3 characters w/ claire + chris i saw [steve] and went.... [eyeballs] hello whos this? long story short i thoiught he was a butch lesbian and i got SO excite d b c residtn ebil has yet to pair a girl up w/ anothner girl around the same age but noooooo instead i got this pathetic loser of a man (derogatory). the closest we have to 2 girls being fucked up together is mia and zoe in re7. but thats like. mainly a side thing. and mia isnt even the protag so

which leads me to the next thng i wanted to talk about. i think mnmen are super cool ofc and i hate to be that Bitch and pull that Card but good freaking god why must there be a man FOR EVERY SINGLE FEMALE CHARACTER IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN SERIES...... andit woudlnt be huge deal if they were noraml w/ these pairings but theyre NOT..... THEY MAKE IT WEIRD EVERY SINGLE TIME..... STEVE LITERALLY ALMOST KISSES CLAIRE WHILE SHE'S ASLEEP........ CARLOS CONSISTENTLY MAKES UNNECESSARILY WEIRD COMMENTS TOWARD JILL......... ASHLEY RANDOMLY AWSKS FOR SEX AT THE END OF RE4............ WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT AOBUT? good for ashley for shooting her shot i guess though but considering yhe game's previous comments towards ashleu and her figure.... it was blatantly put in to sexualize her furtyher

maybe its thr lesbian in me popping out maybe its the aromantic in me popping out WHO KNOWS all i know is that. resident evil makes me very upset sometimes dflkgnjg i love the games i love the characters (esp the girls big surprise i know) but jesus christ. somethings i just can't ignore. and this is cerrtainly one of them. a girl just can't exist out of a guy according to capcom. and that sort of idea is suuuper evident in how they portray and include their women. you could have a girl protag (re3, recv etc) but theres always a 99% chance theres gonna be a man tagging along + continually saving their asses and theres almost alwaysa an even HIGHER chance that theyre meant to be seen as a romantic interest! and its exhausting@!!!!!

long story short . i get im not resident evil's target audience . but im still gonna be pissed and annoyed . the girls deserve better .

im def gonna have to go more in depth abt resident evil and their writing of relationships (or lack thereof) some other time but just for now. the best written ones are claire + sherry and mia + ethan goodbye

We have seen Norman and Yuugo with mustaches/no hair/different hair. Now i would like to see Lucas with a big barb or mustaches or long hair XD

Or Emma having long hair when she is found by his family after two years.

I'm going to decline putting Emma (or Violet) into a longer hairstyle unless said style is at Miku levels of recognition and the character association is the main focus rather than aesthetics because I have too much baggage associated with it, specifically of it falling into stereotypical portrayals of feminine beauty that associates her adopting it as necessary for her to achieve self-actualization and a reflection of her maturing into a more demure young woman worthy of being arm candy for Norman or Ray (outside of Mama Emma AUs where it's a symbol of patriarchal oppression, but those have their own issues). I don't believe there's anything wrong for female characters to have long hair in general, but specifically with her it seems to lend itself to conformity that prioritizes the boys, and while I have seen exceptions, my anecdotal experience with them hasn't been good, so 80% of the time when I encounter it it's a red flag that I'm probably not going to enjoy the material lol

For Lucas, with how resourceful he and the Goldy Pond Resistance are I can't say I'm surprised they found the means to maintain their facial/body hair (the demons might have provided them with these materials but it doesn't seem like it would be a priority compared to food, medical supplies, weapons, other toiletries), but more so that there was time and effort put into it when hunts were going on every three days. Like with Yuugo, though, there's something to be said about maintaining as much semblance of a normal life and routine as one can under those circumstances. Think I'd be most interested in seeing him with a beard for how uneven it would be with his scars.

goodnight little gay people ! stay cool or whatever

[yusuke-of-valla]

Not to be the "haunted by bad takes" person but I'm still thinking of the person who said that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was the same as every other game in the series because it's still just fighting gym leaders, getting badges, and then becoming champion/the YouTuber that said Scarlet and Violet challenges are easy because the game is basically just a boss rush and like.

I mean if you don't like or don't want to engage with the other 2/3rds of the main story whatever but you don't then get to act like they don't exist

Mamoru Kanbe blatantly on the NE and no homo agenda lmao

(Minerva Confidential Report from the S1 Blu-ray)

Given Shirai's sentiments shown in the mystic code book and the 2018 Demizu-Kobayashi interview from the year the anime was in production, I do think Sugita was purposely coy and obfuscating with the "but not romantically" comment, but still interesting how there was some back and forth on that approval.

i will forever hate how the anime made it seem like norman ONLY cared about emma and not ray like his nightmare, in the anime he only held her but in the manga he went for them both. Also when he broke down after the entire demon thing both emma AND ray hugged him. its like they read norman liked emma and went "oh yeah lets completely forget about ray"
