Dungeon Meshi Spoilers/episode 11 + manga discussion.
The fact that the dungeon meshi anime skipped over namaris and kikis and kakas convo about reviving is still so frustrating to me ahhhhhh
Ive been watching peoples episode reactions and they arent feeling the tension and fear that those in the manga felt from having the rules set up about what can and cannot be done and them having the reveal of falins skull, thus making people think the whole journey was for naught, only to have the rules subverted/violatedwith marcilles reveal that she can ressurrect falin. (And also adding impact for marcile being like
Like some people are like oh shes gonna be ressurrected cause they dont know the rules. They arent feeling as much worry/ devastation as they could have.
They didnt have that dwelling dread that those who learnt the rules had. Nor the oh fuck moment of the skull reveal.
Like they might still add the convo but it hasnt had time to ferment over a few episodes/chapters like it could have. The impact will be greatly lessened.
—-
God the fact that we have to wait a week for the next episode pain pain pain

I'm only 2 episodes shy of finishing Season 3 but I REALLY need to get this out my chest before I continue...
The Forgotten Lake is by far my favourite episode of the season—I'm really positive that this may be (or already is) THE BEST episode of the season (and heck there's still an hour long finale for me to get to but EVEN THEN)
A LOT to unpack in that episode but a Johanna-centric story is categorically one of the best thing to happen to this series and I didn't think they could make us love Johanna more than we already did but my god she is just PERFECT HHHHHH <333 Nothing could've prepared me for getting to see all the sides we've seen of her in this ep from best mum as she always was, to talented artist to survival-horror protagonist I'm losing my mind over how much I adore this woman 🥺

Preston, Deacon, X6, Danse, and Hancock: (All seated on little chairs around a table with tea party set up)
Jasmine: (Puts a handmade flower crown on X6’s head) “Hehehe…”
X6: (Remains unmoving and unbothered while he sips his tea)
Deacon: (Wearing clip on earrings and fairy wings with a tutu) “Looking good there pal, the colors really bring out your smile.”
X6: (Ignores him while turning on the radio)
Jasmine: (Eagerly dashed over to the counter to prep the treats)
Piper: (Leans in the doorway with a questioning look at the men) “Well, what’s going on in here?”
Preston: (Has a tiara over his hat) “Tea party, care to join us? The more the merrier.”
Jasmine: (Perks up with shining eyes and points to an empty seat next to Danse)
Piper: (Sits down and looks around) “So… is this some sort of dare? Or did someone pay you guys-?”
Danse: (Wearing a bunch of metallic beaded necklaces and pink sunglasses) “Shhhh.” (Puts a finger to his lip then gesture to the girl who’s happily skipping around)
Piper: (Raises her eyebrows) “Ahhh, I see.”
Deacon: (Offering a pot of tea to a teddy bear) “Care for some more tea, Miss Winifred?”
Jasmine: (Serving fresh brownies to her guests on pink plastic plates)
Hancock: (Has little bows pinned on his hat and one too many giant gemstone rings on his fingers) “Now this is what I call a real treat, thanks little sister.” (Generously puts a brownie on Miss Winifreds plate)
Preston: (Stirring his tea) “Pass the sugar, please.”
X6: (Wordlessly hands him the jar while munching on a brownie)
Piper: (Whispering to the teen) “You sure get away with a lot of stuff, don’t you kiddo?”
Jasmine: (Grins mischievously)
(Don’t tell me you wouldn’t join this little party. The brownies are to die for)

heyy, I'm new to sunnyblr, you seem like an intelligent person and I learned my lesson with previous fandoms so...: what should one know about the cast doing/saying things that's like very problematic (besides the very obvious stuff in the show)? (It's alright if you don't want to answer or spread negativity <3)
welcome to sunnyblr anon!!! we are happy to have you! as someone put it recently, sunnyblr is just a big group chat so you'll see a lot of the same faces pop up
admittedly, i'm pretty new to sunny and sunnyblr too (I started the show and joined in june) so I'm definitely not the person to go to for sunny cast history but there are plenty of other blogs that have been around for a while that can answer your question better than I can
that being said, the largest controversy around the sunny cast is the creators defense of the blackface episodes. idk how much you know about sunny so forgive me if I sound patronizing but sunny was created by rob mcelhenny, glenn howerton, and charlie day (who play mac, dennis, and charlie respectively). despite several people criticizing their use of blackface (and other racial caricatures) due to its overt racism, rcg jump up and down defending it by saying that it was satirical
but beyond the fact that three white men could never do a satire of blackface correctly and should not have even attempted to, the problem with satire is that it's hard to do right but very easy to hide behind. there is a famous quote that goes "satire requires clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize." and unfortunately, rcg fall right into this trap.
i don't necessarily think it's a wrong to satirize blackface. satire, when done effectively, is one of the best tools for highlighting inconsistencies and hypocrisy in social issues. however, the only people satirizing blackface should be black people. unless you are black, you will not have the perspective that is needed to create a satire of blackface that captures the nuances of the history of black people's portrayal in films, television, and live productions and its influence on how black people are treated in real life.
additionally, even if rcg were genuine in their attempt to satirize blackface, they should have stopped after receiving backlash on the first episode. instead, they just doubled down on their excuse and then continued making more episodes with blackface.
not to mention, the episodes aren't even satirical. rcg says that viewers are supposed to be laughing at the wrongness of the characters doing blackface instead of finding blackface itself funny but if you have to tell your viewers how they are supposed to look at your content, you completely failed at your objective. again, satire requires CLARITY.
in the gang makes lethal weapon 7, they make a satire of the controversy but completely fail to realize why the controversy was warranted. in just the previous season, they had an episode that needed to be removed from streaming services because of brown and yellowface. and the entirety of lethal weapon 7 just reeks of disingenuine apologies as they claim they didn't know any better at time as if they weren't old enough or living in a century where they knew blackface was wrong. especially when on the podcast episode for america's next top paddy's billboard model, they were very dismissive of its criticism.
rcg are not alone in this blame. FX had every opportunity to reject the episodes and yet they were aired. unfortunately, this is another example where white people are a part of the problem they claim to be against. it does not matter how woke you claim to be if you do not listen to the voices of marginalized people. you will simply perpetuate a system that excuses the mistakes of those in power because they claimed they had good intentions. as funny as they are, rcg have lost my respect for their defense of blackface.
sorry, this is definitely a much longer answer than you were looking for but I have meaning to share my perspective on the blackface episodes and this was the perfect segue. though, I am a white woman and my perspective on this topic is limited by my lack of lived experiences as a person of color. however, I hope I was able to provide a genuine critique of the situation. I'm sure this topic has been discussed on sunnyblr before but I am interested in hearing other people's thoughts on it.
side note: while i primarily use the term blackface, it is intended to encompass all the racial caricatures seen in the show, which include black, brown, yellow, and redface
