#enough with the live action shit

[cringywhitedragon]

So Httyd is getting the “Netflix Adaption” treatment

Can we please STOP with the live action remake remakes of already existing animated series trend that’s been plaguing many major studios for the past few years now and has only brought controversies from people who don’t like the casting and or a possible financial failure.

Like so many of these live action movies just feel like soulless rehashes of the originals with only minor or complete changes that it’s not even worth going to see them if you could simply just watch per say the original Beauty and the Beast at home on that same old DVD you used to watch for hours as a kid while the live action one plays in the theater.

Mulan is a great example since the remake is boring as heck to the point it feels like a random ass war movie (Literally remove any references to Disney and you could pass this off as anything but a Disney movie, people liked the original for its humor that helped to break up the more serious moments of the film. Heck, the Phoenix in the film simply appears in like two scenes and barely does anything, like you could have at least had it accompany her instead of flying around and being fucking useless the whole film.)

If you want to do a live action movie then do something like Maleficent that redoes the story from a different perspective instead of the same boring stuff we’ve seen before in the original. LIKE CHANGE THE NAME AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR ONCE! I REALLY DON’T CARE TO GO SEE THE SAME MOVIE THAT I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS TIMES BEFORE BUT NOW ITS ALL REALISTIC LOOKING! Not to mention the uncanny valley effect that just makes some beloved characters look creepy as shit or bland as hell.

There’s a reason we shat on Netflix for making live action anime adaptations first because they are just unnecessary. But no, Hollywood had to turn around and do the same shit.

HTTYD was my childhood franchise and it breaks my heart to see it now be memeible with the “Anime, Manga, Netflix Adaption” meme.

Just go watch the original, you won’t be missing much from the remake (And it’s one amazing silly little franchise that I hold dear to my hear.)

CW - BIG VENTING:

I'm not going to lie

I'm scared and I'm sad

I had no doubts that even if Kamala won, shit was still going to be bad

but this is infinitely more terrifying

I'm scared for me, my family, my friends, literally everyone that this fucking piece of shit criminal and his actual neo-nazi vp hate and want wiped from this planet.

But I'll tell you right now

More than anything I'm feeling mad

Realistically, its going to take more than just me being angry to actually get things to change

But I'll be damned if I don't do anything in my power to make sure that the people I care about stay alive

And you better fuckin' believe I'm not going to let some moldy piece of cheese out live me

I'm living for JOY and SPITE now

I love that this fandom doesn't understand Baxter's character, I adore how they patronize him,a whole ass adult, for facing the consequences of his actions.

I love how people make him feel like a sad little baby when he leaves mc as if that's not something he made extremely clear. I love how people treat this 19 year old as if he's not old enough to understand the consequences of his actions. I love how Baxter is aware of his flaw's but feels like he can't break them because people only see him as a tool and this fandom reinforces that.

I love how people will get mad at Nico for doing the cardinal crime of being 6 years old but will baby a 24 year old Baxter. I love how people make him this charismatic rich guy when it's shown that he's a hot mess that doesn't know what he wants. I love that Baxter's whole character arc is about his self sabotaging tendencies and how everyone ignores that. I love that people fell in love with the mask he had for most of the dlc.

I love that this fandom lacks reading comprehension skills and understanding of nuance characters, great job everyone for not understanding how writing works :)

The idea that goes around that Bruce saw Cass as a soldier in Batgirl (2000) makes no sense because he shows multiple times that he cares deeply about her. Did y'all forget all the fucking dialogues in the comics showing just that? Did you miss Bruce going through his usual "OMG I'm a terrible father I don't deserve to be in her life, I only bring her misery!" thinking? Like, he's clearly not helping her having a normal life, he is teaching her to be like him, to be dedicated body and soul to the mission, and it's not great, but it's not seeing her as a soldier, more like a second mini him. The most hurtful thing he did to Cass, in Cass' eyes, was trying to give her a normal life and stop her from being Batgirl, which Barbara agreed on. Like, can we stop saying Bruce views his kids as soldiers because he trains them, has expectations for them to be good people and let them fight crimes, while having difficulties with his emotions and communications? The principle of a soldier is that they are meant to be easily replaceable, but he cares about his kids, and they want to be doing this shit! They hate when he tries to make them have a normal life because he is scared they are hurting!

"I thought Cassandra was just like me."

"Maybe being Batgirl is doing her more harm than good. She grew up surrounded by violence and brutality. And all I've done is to surround her with violence again."

"He just wants you [...] to be happy."

"He's worried that being Batgirl is bad for you... That the constant exposure to violence and evil was preventing you from healing the emotional harm you suffered as a child."

"He just worries about you, my dear. He doesn't want you to get hurt."

"I know for a fact that Master Bruce is immeasurably proud of you-- and grateful for all that you've done."

listen it’s none of my business but when you say “Bilbo would have been better for taking the Ring” and then state “Frodo’s character was mishandled” I think maybe you like the Lord of the Rings inside your head more than the one actually written 💀 as if it wasn’t stated multiple times both in the text and by Tolkien himself why Frodo was the Ringbearer. Pleeeeeaaaase PLEEEEAAASE stop giving me gray hairs and take an interest in the text you read and it’s deeper meanings beyond power scaling characters, favoritism and finding the “most efficient way to take the ring to Mordor”. The debates about who should have taken the Ring are the exact same as “they should have flown the eagles to Mordor” except it’s spoken by people who genuinely are avid fans of the books and movies.

The implications of your last ficlet. Frothing at the mouth. Ohhhhhh the implications. We are being fed today holy hell

I have been looking for an excuse to write my version of Evil X for so long you have no idea. This seemed! Like a good enough reason!

I'm glad you enjoyed it :3

I don't care about Moash, just Stormlight's writing, which by proxy means I must care about Moash.

unfortunately the world is too fucking messed up so I am currently unable to give a shit about how messed up everything is because it's all too big and if I get upset about any of it my entire ability to be a person will come crashing in

normal service will resume as soon as possible

[sysmedsaresexist]

thoughts on fandoms treating characters with a heavily fictionalized form of split personality as if they canonically have DID?

like DID doesnt fucking do this

You mean you don't do a magical girl sailor moon transformation when you switch?

I don't know, sounds sus, friendo

Your eyes should at least change colour, how else do you know who's fronting?

Hi I'm mad

[medicinemane]

There's honestly... just so many people, just so so so so so many people in this world where I'm like... aren't you people tired of this fucking... you know, I was going to call them clowns but that's really disrespectful to clowns, these people could never get their face on an egg...

Anyway, aren't you tired of this childish jackass? Don't you just want to ignore them and never have to hear about them again? If we just ignored them they legitimately would go away... don't you want that?

And this applies to... just ungodly amounts of people, from jake paul to even elon musk (just... don't touch his shit, he'll run out of money eventually with how bad he is with it), to just... name an annoying famous person and you'll name someone I've literally forgotten right now that I could never have to hear about again if people would just ignore them (unless they committed crimes, investigators are welcome to pay attention while gathering a case)

Yet the answer's always "no, we're paying so much attention to them!" and I'm just like... why? Why would you watch jake paul box? I heard about that and was like "he's still doing that shit?", and yet I guess it made a lot of money yet again and it's just like... ignore him

These people could go away, and yet

It just sucks it just really fucking does and I never want to admit this because it’s “wrong” to want to “be normal” because these things shouldn’t be considered abnormal but fuck. Fuck man. I wish I was allo I wish I was cis I wish I was neurotypical I wish I was fucking normal and didn’t have all these little fucking things that clump up into a giant mound of ridiculous weight that is just too much for another person to deal with

Finishing atla and once again becoming absolutely livid with the out of nowhere, literal deus ex machina bending-bending ability because why have your protagonist face his achilles heel and overcome his original sin in order to grow and save the day when you can hand everything to him on a lion turtle platter 🙃🙃🙃
