When you absolutely despise something a lot of people like, and no matter what way you look at it you cannot see the appeal, but you know you can’t talk about it in public or else you’ll get dogpiled to hell and back, so you just kinda sit there frothing at the mouth like this
#spaghetti speaks#minor blood#I know this image is typically used in positive contexts but it felt fitting here too#Also you probably know what I’m talking about if you’ve spoken to me before#The AM speech but aimed toward this one particular series because the rage it causes is GRAHH#it had so much potential#it could’ve been so so good#YOU COULD'VE KEPT THE PILOT PLOT INSTEAD OF INSTANTLY ABANDONING IT IN FAVOR FOR ONE OF THE WORST ROUTES A STORY CAN GO IN#I’m so mad because I WISH I could like it#I WISH I could make art for it- the character designs are fun to draw#but I’m not a fan of it#I have a visceral hatred of the series and its creator#but I’m alone in the opinion#minus my friends who agree with me#but I just#I don’t understand#I feel like if it was made by a bigger studio- people would hate it as much as me#Steven Universe was written significantly better than it- I’m sorry#SU got so much shit for years- this is praised everywhere I see#I could explain every single problem I have with this series and people will defend it#it’s so popular despite nothing being resolved or making sense#The people behind the studio were revealed to be shitty to employees but no one cares because this series got a new episode#GRRRRRGHGGHH#I hate the characters- I hate the nonsensical plot- I hate the plot holes- I hate the villain- I hate the wasted potential#I’d hijack this series and make a Snoot Game type thing if I could- my autistic ass will make this better#I'm not arrogant I’m just saying the writing is on the floor and it doesn’t take much to just fix it up and make it pretty#I’m ranting#sorry#I’m very passionate about things like this#Inorganic killers

I keep seeing all this stuff in Metroid fandom (and arguably from the creative team themselves) about Samus having a motherly bond with (voice) The Baby but, like, she handed that thing over to be dissected by military scientists SO fast. I could see her being surprised that it had formed such an attachment with her by the end of Super Metroid cuz yeah that was unexpected and weird. But chances are high she saved that last bby metroid with the intent of it being used for study and destroyed in the process.
It is funny imagining her going on parent/child bonding trips with the galaxy's second most dangerous life form though.
#metroid#super metroid#I've always felt like she's one of those emotionally detached action movie badass types#too cool to have feelings#ptsd from dragon that ate her family in front of her?#nah fuck that gun to it’s face. a lot.#surprise emergency surgery?#yeah whatever get in the car military bozos we're going alien murdering#become the monster you hunted and hated your whole life?#bummer but no time for that there's a planet you haven't blown the fuck up yet#also you're mostly a bird in a human body and I feel there is so much wasted comedic potential there

Can't believe fgo gave Limbo machine-destroying shikigami bugs, but didn't have him so much as threaten to use them on the mechanical doll girl he's weirdly fixated on, it's a shame...
#fgo#fate grand order#Ashiya Douman#Caster of Limbo#Katou Danzou#heian-kyo in general had the best possible setup that i feel ended up having a lot of wasted potential#especially with her interlude they could have done so much#the stuff we did get between them was great but it just felt like they didn't even talk very much????#the opening was perfect and then they just didn't do enough with it#yeah its still one of my fav parts though#bugs/#just a few maggot things crawling out of her mouth and shoulder#suggestive#<-couldn't resist a couple fingers under her clothes#ask to tag#their relationship is just the most interesting thing to me!!

I genuinely can’t fathom how people who have never had a problem with food (restricting AND overeating because both are serious issues) view it. Like tf do you mean you get hungry after two hours? One of my siblings is onto me because I went like 6 hours without eating but like…that was because I wasn’t hungry???? On the flip side, I’ve noticed that I just keep fucking eating when everyone else has stopped. Free breadsticks at Olive Garden? I’ll eat them until they’re gone. Need something to do at a party? I’ll get seconds even though I’m not really hungry. I was never really an emotional eater aside from a few hatred-induced binges last semester at college, but I’m definitely a bored eater. Combine that with the fact that my parents don’t cook, so the occasional meals I had with my family all together were fast food/restaurant food, AND that all other nights, I was left to rummage with no supervision through the pantry to eat processed food in front of the TV/my phone for dinner, it’s a miracle I didn’t get fatter sooner.
#Every damn day I envy 12 year old me at 5’4 (not done growing yet) and 104 pounds when my weight wasn’t a thought in my mind#Like girl I know your biggest concern rn is when the Steven Universe hiatus will end but you wasted so much potential 😭#I wish I had been like a dancer or an athlete or something in my K-12 years so that I enjoyed some form of exercise#But I was so uncoordinated and athletic from being both a premature baby and just never getting into the habit#That I felt (and still feel) rlly insecure exercising with/around people#Plus now if my sibling hears that I’m working out or want to they go into panic mode thinking I’ll get a diagnosable ed and die 🙃#Yeah I love them and all but they’re that person that had ana for like a year (giving me diagnosed PTSD in the process)#And now thinks that my disordered experience must be exactly like theirs—like if I maintain the loss of weight I genuinely needed to lose#Or god forbid ever develop an interest/willingness to work out more#It means that I have severe fucking ana that I need to be hospitalized for like they were#And I have had full blown breakdowns wishing I was as sick as they got so they had better shut their damn mouth#Sorry to spam the tags y’all#4n4rex1a#tw ana diary#4n4t1ps#4n4 thoughts#🕯️ as a ��

To be very honest, the only thing I find genuinely interesting about jujutsu kaisen besides the art is the storyline at the beginning of Season 2.
I couldn't care less about what sukuna and kenjaku were up to. Literally the relationship and drama around gojo and geto is what kept me on the edge of my seat. Otherwise the manga for me feels pretty basic ? Itadori is supposed to be the main character but he's so sidelined in his own story ? Everybody else keeps dying too fast for me to care about it ?
Like I wish the manga was actually about early gojo, geto, nanami and co. I wish instead of a 2 episode flashback we had the entire manga dedicated to geto slow descent to madness and events that unfold. Can you imagine jujutsu kaisen as a psychological horror anime ? Waaahhh
And obviously this is just my personal opinion don't crucify me I'm not saying the manga is bad just ....
#jujutsu kaisen#the sukuna and gojo fight was another highlight of the manga#but that's the thing gojo makes the stakes so high so when he died it felt so empty#like what am i gonna look forward to now i couldn't care less if sukuna killed everyone or no anymore#maybe i just have to wait it out or something#also still annoyed at how fast they killed yuki#she had so much potential#jujutsu kaisen could have been a psychological horror anime can you imagine i would have trescended#a waste of good characters tbh#the art is absolutely gorgeous tho#gojo satoru#geto suguru#nanami kento

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.
i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.
#idk if i put it into words right but i'm just musing#was walter a good person when brba started? up in the air. but his family genuinely adored him. despite feeling like a loser teacher#some of his coworkers actually really liked and respected him. he was just as much of a regular person as anyone else was tbh#you know it's interesting that he and gale basically have the same motivations. why jump to meth of all things. why go from 0 to 100 when#it sounds COMPLETELY ridiculous. but they were both very passionate about chemistry who felt like their potentials were wasted and felt#like they were finally putting their skills to good use again. getting to flex their muscles and shit. whenever they cook better purer meth#than most other people. i think it's a really genius idea to have this premise for the show lol#cz as much as walter is motivated by him feeling like he desperately has to take control of his own life he also is a scientist at heart#who desperately needs to apply his knowledge and skills somewhere where it would feel gratifying#seriously dude you could've tried to get a paper published or two or something. djhdidhd#but the academe has its own Politics and whatnot. so one could only speculate why walt didn't get to pursue that any more#(aside from the whole grey matter industries thing)#anyway uhhh i hope i get the post across lol not to sound cheesy cliche but brba is a corruption slash character deterioration arc#quite literally the whole point is that he Didn't Start Off Like This And He Gets Worse#again. he already had some of his bad tendencies and traits but it's like. we all do that's not necessarily inherently make or break#it's what he DOES and KEEPS DOING. CONSCIOUSLY that turns him into the horrifying man he is by the end of it all#so i just think if your biggest takeaway is Walter Was Always A Monster then you're just missing the whole damn point#op#brbaposting

I think what makes me the angriest about DR3 is how they brushed over the Twilight Syndrome Murder case like it was nothing.
Fuyuhiko learned his younger sister got murdered and in return killed Sato, yet what made him go into despair was because of brainwashing and watching their class representative die? Not his own sister fucking being murdered??
Mahiru also lost a close friend of hers, but for some reason she can't seem to put two and two together that, hey, she's classmates with the brother of her bully in middle school? The next heir of the largest yakuza syndicate? There was already some tension when Mahiru was calling out his attitude in chapter 1 of SDR2 - why not show it again when they were at Hope's Peak??
Two people were murdered and associated with two students of class 77. Do their classmates not give a shit besides Peko? Hell, it was implied that Hiyoko, Ibuki, and Mikan knew of Sato’s existence, but they didn’t even talk about her or had scenes with her. It would’ve been interesting to see Fuyuhiko and Mahiru starting to be wary of each other, with Mahiru saying something insensitive about Natsumi and Fuyuhiko threatening her in front of the class.
This case could easily be one of the pivots of why Fuyuhiko and Mahiru became Ultimate Despair. Imagine losing someone close to you, but the prestigious school that's supposed to guarantee you success in life swept it under the rug to save their image. Plus it shows they really don't give a shit about the Reserve Course Department - only the money they bring.
There's just so many things about DR3 that are inconsistent and overall disappointing. I know it's all marketing and doing it for the fans, but if the anime adaptation is going to just going to retcon and make the plot over one fucking character then it's just shit and laziness.
#sumibansays#danganronpa 2#danganronpa 3#is shit#fuyuhiko kuzuryu#natsumi kuzuryu#mahiru koizumi#your 10000000th post about how much dr3 wasted the potential of the dr2 cast#felt like going on a rant about how much I hate dr3#fight me i don't give a fuck#also AI chiaki >>>>>>>>>>>>> dr3 chiaki#like i get that you're trying to make hajime feel better but you also don't understand what it's like to be at the bottom#like you're literally the plot of the anime and everyone loves you#ALSO some characters canonically dislike video games#so i don’t see why they would bond over video games#also my girl sonia was done dirty

I am going to fight the person who decided that the "grumpy adult who reluctantly takes in a child" trope had to be between a grumpy man and a child. Where are my grumpy women :/
#the moment people realize that adult women can have a variety of traits i will be happy#i just want a silly child-parent dynamic that doesn’t involve a man#i recently played detroit become human and i want something like what hank and connor have but genderbent#is that so much to ask?#(also dbh was… alright. overrated. 200% get the david cage hate)#(it was somewhat entertaining at times but whatever)#(i have too many gripes with it)#(hank and connor’s relationship didn’t even intrigue me that much)#(everything felt like wasted potential)#(but whatever)#if anyone has recommendations please give them#i beg of you#preferably similar ages to dbh#cynic.txt#tropes#writing tropes

theory that dustfinger spent half of the book unconscious not because of whatever the hell orpheus did but because he concussed himself
#hitting his own damn head on his house like an irrational toddler#loser#tcor spoilers#also soooo fucking funny that hes like 'i dont have to sleep very much anymore:)' and immediately spends the book asleep#if literally anyone is wondering how i felt about the book maybe#i plan to write a review in the near future but my tldr thoughts are:#took nothing away from the trilogy; fun to read; ultimately a lot of wasted potential--could have benefitted from another year of writing#no one anyone cares about dies nothing lasting happens to anyone#disappointing but i will read it every time i read the trilogy so it's whatever#dustfinger does soooooo many things worth mocking him over it's a great time#says kenna

The fnaf movie feels like reading a very heavily book trilogy and game inspired Fazbear Frights that doesn't exactly know what correlation with the Aftons they wanna have.
#five nights at freddy's movie#five nights at freddys#fnaf#I didn't hate it#i just felt like reading a fazbear fright#ot has slight hints that make it fnaf#but it just did not land as much as they think they did#but god if it was BAD i wouldnt feel this outraged#so much wasted potential#imma go read fnaf fanfiction#missing the aftons and the emilys fr

also lex and i just watched the keldeo movie. it sure is a movie that exists
#all we took from it was that vic micogna voiced keldeo so we were just imagining keldeo was edward elric#i saw this movie when it premiered and i only remembered the stuff at the beginning w the swords of justice#and honestly i kinda just wish that was the whole movie#it feels sad bc i like the swords of justice and kyurem but i feel like this movie is just wasted potential. like its just a longer episode#that couldve fit any other kind of pokemon. like ‘’hey this patrat wants to join a watchog club so to win their respect he has to fight an#an ursaring or something and ash helps them get the courage to fight it. like thats all this movie is#plus i feel like its one of the worst looking movies like kyurems hideout is really good and the landscapes are nice#but so much of the film felt grimey and dated compared to the other ones#it not a bad movie per say but it just feels like nothing#and i feel like the swords of justice deserve better given their backstory#this is just like the age of pokemon movies where they mostly rely on the advertising element instead of going crazy#like i dont like to go ‘’ugh its just pandering its just product placement’’ bc it can be that and still be really fun. like mlp g4#but this movie was just like. ‘’eh idk go buy bw2’’#especially bc the kyurem doesnt fit the game lore at all which BOTHERS ME bc its so interesting in the game#but we gotta pit these unrelated groups against each other and its too complicated#nvm we couldve gone the sinnoh trilogy route…. make it a successor of the victini one#echoed voice

cars use fuel to work
i use terrible takes about hector and n!hector :)
#there's a post in the cv tag that i really shouldn't have read because now i'm in a ranty mood again djfhdsjkfhsdkjhfk#i have *so* much to say about how n!hector is a waste of a potentially interesting interpretation of the character#and even then he doesn't compare to the real deal and how the mangas paint him as an anti hero going through a solid character arc#'ah but the fridged women' yes! yes that is bad writing i'll give you that#but i still very much love rosaly in the mangas despite her being admittedly basic in her role as a nice woman giving hector hope#and even *then* rosaly being fridged and hector replacing her with a clone *while bad*#doesn't touch the levels of repulsion i felt in n!hector's storyline#or how other women were treated#maybe with the exception of sypha she's fine#cod has serious holes in it but terribly written? nah it didn't make me nearly vomit like nfcv so that makes it inherently superior
