Army of Darkness was so much cheesy, campy fun. I loved it!

Ash was a good character, too! Hot-headed yet at first cowardly, but he can be smart and badass when the situation calls for it, too! I like how the ending showed that he’s quicker to jump into action after the events of the trilogy.

YUUKO ICHIHARA HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

[travalerray]

finished episode 34 and what I am getting is that Shan Gudao is basically going "You be better than shixiong? You be better than shixiong at martial arts and be the favourite of our shifu? SUFFERING FOR SHIDI FOR TEN YEARS, SUFFERING FOR SHIDI FOR TEN YEARS!!!!!"

BURN NOTICE SPOILERS I GUESS???? it's a twenty year old show lol

i talk a lot about how great an actor jeffrey donovan is (and he is) and how much of an annoying wiener nate is (and he is), but damn seth peterson really is a good actor too. like, the reason i don't really jive with his character is because he perfectly portrays the fuckup little brother. and when nate dies all he says is "i'm scared," and his delivery is so real and raw that it just reaches into my chest and grabs my heart. that's always the part where i start crying.

DANG who ISN'T dead at this point?

thinking here now about rokkenjima as a haunted house. obviously 30 years isn't enough time to create a haunted house in the traditional gothic sense but is more than enough time to generate a space populated by ghosts.

jrwi riptide ep 43: (for some context this episode is the party's entrance to the big city with the steam and the crime and the money) .......... WHAT IS HAPPENING?

[agirlinsearchof]

Watching Evil Dead II, and so far, I really like the camera work! I dunno what’s different about it, but there’s something different about the way the camera is utilized!

Ash briefly getting possessed briefly only to be exorcised by sunlight puts me in mind of that scene from JJBA where Dio tests the Stone Mask on a random dude, who gets turned into a vampire, only to die by sunlight before he can kill him.

I wonder if it’s a common thing? “Person gets transformed, only to die to their weakness shortly after to establish what said weakness is.”

In the most shounen way possible Evil Wolverine SURE DID launch into four pages of evil speeches COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED and for no reason in particular. 

YES EVIL WOLVERINE WE KNOW THIS MOMENT IS CUT OFF FROM TIME. WE KNEW THIS ALREADY. 

Perhaps it’s the translation or just his wording in general but I’m not sure what the four pages to establish “Divine Providence” doesn’t work here actually means? He says at first that it doesn’t work for Space and Time in general any more, both past and future, but then specifies that this moment specifically is also cut off from "Providence", because it’s cut off from the rest of space and time. (But if "Providence" already didn't work in the past and future, why would it NEED to be cut off in order for providence to ALSO not work here?) And yet I’m not sure exactly what Divine Providence really means in this context, or what it has to do with anything at all that we’re doing here. 

I think it might have been more impactful if he was saying that this moment is cut off from Hitsuzen and so anything could happen, or that it’s completely outside Yuuko’s influence so they can’t be saved. Something along those lines would have made more sense to me thematically.

Also... I'm not sure what he means when he says that Yuuko turned back time? I thought Lava Lamp's wish was with Evil Wolverine specifically - he says "I'll fulfill that wish for you", and when Yuuko shows up he claims that's she's interfering.

But here he says that YUUKO turned back time, implying that the wish was through her power. So...?

I think something got lost in the translation somewhere between these two chapters OR Evil Wolverine really will just say whatever the fuck he thinks in the moment.

I think at first I thought he was comparing Lava Lamp to someone else, but on second thought I think he means that Lava Lamp hasn’t changed since he first made the wish. 

Something to do with the fact that this scenario has to end a “different” way than it first did, and yet Lava Lamp still has the same motivation as before. 

I think you could probably make an interesting comparison out of the fact that (from Evil Wolverine’s perspective) the universe broke because Lava Lamp made this wish in the first place, but he’s still here with the same goal in mind, and so he’s never really learnt anything. 

Which isn’t true, but I think I’m still just trying patch Evil Wolverine’s speeches in a way that actually makes sense to me.
