I'm a simple man.

Ranking Yu-Gi-Oh! fish art

Yu-Gi-Oh! has a whole monster type for fish, let's take a look at a sample of the art. This is ranking the designs, not how good the card it. I haven't played since before pendulum was a thing so I'm in no position to judge.

This is a neat design. Not really getting panther out of it but it's still pretty cool. Not over the top while still having an identity of its own. Not super exciting, but solid. 7/10

They weren't lying, that moray sure is white. I love a good moray and the shield is neat, but I'm a bit confused as to why it's sideways. It's also not the most visually interesting card art. 5/10

Oh hell yeah! Want to spread that copypasta about how useless molas are? Well eat needles, asshole! Easy 9/10!

This... isn't a fish. NA/10

Oh, I love this. I love this so much. As if a flying shark wasn't a cool enough idea, the coloring on this is great. I wish this was a real thing and hunted people to poach sharks for their fins. 10/10

I don't hate it, but it's pretty boring. A cyborg megalodon should absolutely blow my tits off with concentrated awesome, but this? Not so much. 3/10

They took away her titties in the intl art. 1/10 out of protest.

Tripod fish my beloved! Minus the monster head and lack of skin between the fin rays and this is a pretty accurate depiction of a tripod fish. 7/10.

...what the actual hell? I don't know what this is, but it's not a fish. NA/10

As much as I appreciate a sword swordfish, this is not what I want. The Performapals are supposed to be cute and friendly but this thing looks gross as hell. 1/10.

I might buy this card just because I love it so much. An undead leafy sea dragon is so cool and I absolutely adore the design. I want this as a poster. 10/10

Aww, look at the little baby robot shark. This card is so cute I want to snuggle it even though it's a hunk of metal. 9/10

Eww. 0/10

Not a huge fan of the art, but I do like how they took one of those deformed goldfish breeds with the bulbous heads and made it an actual giant brain. 5/10.

Oh this is sick. I don't even know if it's supposed to be an actual fish but I love it. I like how you can see all the ribs through its skin and even though its supposed to be ghostly pale, there's plenty of color so it doesn't look boring. Absolute beast 10/10.

Ok this one's not even a vertebrate. Are we trying here? You have the aqua type that this would fit into but you're deadass going to try to tell me that a shrimp is a fish? What's next, something that's not even an animal? Are you going to try to tell me that a plant is a fish?

...I give up

[peachpopfizz]

this seems fun :)

Fav season

I aint even gonna lie its possesion okay. i like the funny ghost man he makes me feel. oh and also nya gets her powers and ronin and the Preeminent is actually scary as fuck and

Least fav season

this is really hard actually. i think all of them are good but aspheeras didn't have as much of an emotional impact as all the others? i guess that. still good tho :)

Favorite ninja

I like lloyd a Normal Amount (but also kudos to zane to not only being my first fictional crush, but my first crush in general)

Least fav ninja

mf none of the above?? if i had to choose, the element of surprise. him.

Favorite character

so theres this ghost (but besides morro i actually really like both ronin and dareth and want them to get meaningful character development that lasts more than a season <3)

Character you cant stand

i can stand him but. clutch powers does not need that much screen time

favorite background character

lil Nelson and mailman my beloveds <3

favorite episode

the first time i experienced tick tock and the s3 finale (zanes death. i cant remember the episode name) will always be some of the most powerful moments in the whole show for me. the s2 finale where dragon overlord just straight up fucking eats lloyd and then lloyd explodes in light is sick as hell too

least favorite episode

again, dont remember names, but the ep where we were with clutch in the mine was. so incredibly tedious.

favorite gi

the ogs have a special place in my heart, but i believe its the toe and sog seasons that really caught my eye

favorite antagonist

now. you're never gonna believe this. (its morro) but honestly harumi comes in such an incredibly close second that they might as well be tied

least fav antagonist

dont think i have one. some are underdeveloped (*cough*mostly the ones from the most recent seasons*cough*) but they all still have something to make me like them with

fav serpentine tribe

all of them are cool but oh my god the fangpyre are cracked. what are you gonna do consricti? suffocate our living wrecking ball??? venomari? mind control this sentient train??? get owned

fav weekend whip ver

i think the og one is always my go-to, but the tournament, ghost, and pirates whips are all magnifique

fav ninjago fold song

i have not listened to any, probably gonna fix that like. rn

new redesigns?

yes, actually! i think the only old one i miss might be Zane's. after sitting with them for a while tho, the new designs are a definite improvement. theyre so unique!!

fav animation studio

I don't keep up with whos animating what but whoever creates the blursed as hell anime/cartoon scenes. my respect and fear goes out to you

Seasons 1-10 or 11-now?

I think this is a bit unfair considering we're lacking more seasons, but putting that aside its still 1-10 for me. something just so good abt the earlier seasons

how/when show discoverey?

the very first time I saw it was on cartoon network when i was like. 5 or 6. idk what ep it was but it definitely had a zane focus because that robot is carved so deeply into my soul

fav overall aspect

i have to choose just one??? god well. the story is unreasonably good, the characters have actual flaws and talents like irl people, esp now, the show it gorgeously animated, and the community? healthy :)

biggest issue

it plays into the asian monolith and combines and throws together different parts of asian beliefs and cultures that have no right, rhyme, or reason to be together.

Greetings Ninjago fans of Tumblr. I’m curious about what other fans think of the show.

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: FEATURE: Final 2020 Awards Tracker

FINAL 2020 AWARDS TRACKER

Welcome to the ninth year of Every Movie Has a Lesson’s “Awards Tracker.”  My goal every year is simple: Help each and every one of you win your Oscar pools. As a member of three recognized awards-voting bodies of film critics (OFCS, OFTA, and Chicago Indie Critics), it’s a pleasure and honor to see my own picks made it into the award season discussion. Here’s how this little page of my personal interest works.  I find value in tracking the trends and following the tea leaves of the all the minor lead-up awards before the Oscars.  I chart the winners of each category with listed winners and comments on the surrounding buzz. 

FINAL TAKE: Prediction-wise, I was a so-so 16 of 24. Not great, but not bad. I’ll take being wrong to watch a night of history honoring women and international film!

BEST MOTION PICTURE

FINAL TAKE:  Folks, in another year of #OscarsSoWhite and questionable gender appreciation, the 92nd Academy Awards dropped (or was it raised, LOL) a microphone of history in favor of diversity. Say it out loud. Parasite is first foreign language film to win Best Picture. Boom! What a boom!

WINNERS:  

26- Parasite (ATL, Cannes, NYO, SEA, PCC, CIC, NC, FCC, Chicago, BO, CO, DC, DET, HOU, LA, NSFC, SE, UT, VAN, AUS, EDA, GA, GAL, OFTA, Online, London, Oscar)

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

FINAL TAKE:  Bong Hive! I was in the #AnyoneButQuentin camp of one, but this category didn’t become about preferences. This was a win for international cinema. It’s extremely rare for the scene to have attention, let alone victory, in these top categories.

16- Greta Gerwig for Little Women (KC, CIC, NC, IN, Chicago, CO, SAT, DC, FL, UT, USC, AUS, CC, DEN, EDA, OFTA)

BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN/ART DIRECTION

FINAL TAKE:  I may have been a big fan of the massive work in 1917 and not a huge Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood lover, but I cannot argue with the artistic brilliance on display here. All the neon, the dinge, the sets-within-the-sets, and the period architecture were worth this.

2- Nikki Ledermanm, Tania Ribalow, and Sunday Englis for Joker (MH, HI)

BEST VISUAL EFFECTS

FINAL TAKE:  1917 entered the night a big favorite, but this was not a spot it was favored, making this a very cool win. I was in the #AnythingButTheIrishman mosh pit of one.

BEST SOUND MIXING

FINAL TAKE:  The technical skill of 1917 is fitting for this position. It was going to be between this and the editing winner Ford v Ferrari. This boosted totals nicely.
