having trouble remembering what type is strong against what? look no further!
its always easier to remember things when you know WHY, wouldn’t you agree? so here��s my method of remembering the type advantages, just for you. i do so hope it helps :)
bug > grass : this is the reason why your tomato plant never gives you more than two tomatoes come harvest time.
bug > dark : one time, when i was like six or something, i was wandering around the college my dad worked at (as the head of the it department) with him because he had to do something in one of the tech closets. it was just wires and computers super disorganized; ran the network or something idk i was six. anyway the floor was like, black when we opened the door, but then when he turned on the light it turned fucking white as the carpet of roaches just fucking scattered. i forgot where i was going with this.
bug > psychic : bugs are one of the three most common fears. this will come up again. guess how many times.
dark > ghost : ghost summoning is dark magic (think warlocks). considering they’re the one who summoned it, the dark sorcerer would obviously be more powerful than the ghost.
dark > psychic : once again; dark is one of the most common fears.
dragon > dragon : trust nobody, not even yourself.
electric > flying : the only thing worse than being zapped and paralyzed is being zapped and paralyzed 20 feet up in the air.
electric > water : i mean, this one’s pretty obvious. water + electricity = bad time. (actually, fun fact, distilled water doesn’t conduct electricity - it’s the stuff typically in the water that makes it conductive. i think.)
fairy > fighting : wizards are just inherently more powerful than fighters, i guess. keep that in mind next time you play 5e.
fairy > dark : My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Season 1; Episodes 1 & 2
fairy > dragon : i’m pretty sure this was the reason they made fairy type a thing in the first place? anyway, the knight slaying the dragon to save the princess is like, THE classic fairy tale trope.
fighting > dark : so google tells me that this is a good vs evil thing, where dark is “fighting dirty” (which makes sense considering the moves like nasty plot, sucker punch, etc), and the advantage is that fighting dirty doesn’t mean you’ll win, it actually means you’re more likely to lose. or whatever. fighters are better than rogues is the explanation, actually.
fighting > normal : go ask a black belt to fist fight you. i dare you.
fighting > ice : strong man punch through ice block.
fighting > rock : strong man punch through rock.
fighting > steel : [visibly distressed] s... strong... strong man punch through... steel???
fire > bug : you know how a bunch of kids have that weird part of their lives where they think using a magnifying glass to set a bug on fire with the power of the sun is the neatest shit?
fire > grass : i mean, duh. the more specific example that usually comes to mind for me though is wildfires in like, the savannah. or australia.
fire > ice : fire melts ice. i seen’t it with my own two eyes.
fire > steel : jet fuel can, in fact, melt steel beams.
flying > bug : i mean, bugs do compose most birds’ diets. except for the bearded vulture. that motherfucker eats bones.
flying > fighting : have you ever tried to punch a bird out of the sky?
flying > grass : i guess cause, like, birds live in grass? and they use it to make up their nests? like this type advantage comes entirely from intimidation factor. “i live inside the remnants of your second cousin,” and all that.
ghost > ghost : in basically all ghost related lore/mythology, while they struggle to interact with the corporeal plane, ghosts can interact with other ethereal beings/objects just fine. i guess that extends to beating the shit out of each other.
ghost > psychic : finally, the third of the 3 most common fears.
grass > ground : plants literally grow out of the fucking ground.
grass > rock : saw a dandelion growing out of a crack in the pavement on my walk today. effervescent.
grass > water : water is one of the two required molecules (reactants, kinda? ish?) for photosynthesis. this was a really complicated way of saying plants go glug glug.
ground > electric : ground is a bad conductor. its much easier to punch someone when their powers are completely useless.
ground > fire : throwing dirt is a pretty good way of putting out a fire, actually. it suffocates it, and since fire needs oxygen to burn,,,
ground > poison : rub some dirt on it. also i heard once that if you put dirt/sand/whatever on a wound with poison (like a bite i guess?), it’ll soak some of it up or out or something. its not a solution, but it would buy you some time i guess. please don’t test whether this is true or not.
ground > rock : honestly? i got nothing. rock come from ground. dust to dust. there.
ground > steel : for one, steel is derived from ground stuff. that seems important? you could look at it from like, a natural vs artificial scenario. like, no matter how invincible we think something we build is, the earth will outlast it and reclaim itself eventually.
ice > dragon : the classic dragon breathes fire, and dragons are generally accepted to be reptiles (which are cold-blooded), so if a dragon’s body temperature fell too low, it’d be a massively crippling blow.
ice > flying : i’m pretty sure that birds can fly if it’s too cold? i mean, it makes sense. you know how it gets harder to feel and control your fingers when it’s cold? i imagine that’d be pretty disastrous for a bird’s wings while it’s trying to fly.
ice > grass : this is another kinda common knowledge one. most types of plants don’t do well in cold weather.
ice > ground : i don’t know exactly how to articulate it, but my head is screaming the word “PERMAFROST” at me repeatedly, so let’s go with that.
poison > fairy : poison is a pretty common weapon of choice for fairy tale villains? like, snow white instantly comes to mind. the princess bride, too. in older stories, there’s, like, the witches in macbeth.
poison > grass : so at its core, this is “poisoning nature”, which could go any number of ways, really, but i think specifically of pollution. there’s no joke for this one. eat the rich.
psychic > fighting : “brains over brawn”. everyone knows this one, lmao.
psychic > poison : i mean, there’s that trope where the protag just wills their way through being poisoned. more realistically, some cultures believe meditation can expel poison/impurities from your body. which is where the idea for the pop culture trope came from in the first place?
rock > bug : do you know that scene in d*sney’s hunchback, sorta in the beginning, where frollo is giving phoebus his absolutely batshit monologue about his plans for genocide and he lifts up a stone to show all the ants under it to visually prove his point about a hideout somewhere in the city and then he flips is and crushes them all to really drive that point home and phoebus is like “with all due respect, jesus fucking christ sir”? yeah.
rock > fire : recall the “put out a fire by suffocating it” thing. rocks work too. i guess.
rock > flying : let’s go throw rocks at birds!
rock > ice : ice melts, but rock is forever. (honestly, i personally think the advantage should actually be the other way around because when water gets in even the smallest crack and freezes, it expands and makes the crack even bigger, rinse and repeat. but there’s nothing i can really do about that lmao).
steel > fairy : y’know, the whole “knight in shining armor” bit. we’ve been over this.
steel > ice : you know what happens if you freeze a sword? you get a cold sword (ignore the fact that it gets brittle - that’s future you’s problem). you know what happens if you hit an ice block really hard with a sword? you wind up with more distinct pieces of ice than when you started.
steel > rock : i guess rock is just. more brittle than steel? weaker? less versatile? who fucking knows.
water > fire : ._.
water > ground : mudd....
water > rock : erosion! don’t think about it too hard.
normal > nothing : that’s the fucking point.
BONUS: the no effect matchups!
normal/fighting X ghost : go punch a ghost.
ghost X normal : go get punched by a ghost.
poison X steel : i mean, this makes sense. steel is the only wholly artificial pokemon type, so it wouldn’t be affected by having something nasty thrown at it. unless it’s salazzle. in which case, fuck you.
ground X flying : can’t get hurt by an earthquake if you’re in the sky. this is where i’d put that meme if i wasn’t too lazy to go find it.
electric X ground : grounded things can’t be electrocuted! or something like that. i don’t know. i told you, my dad’s the it guy.
psychic X dark : so, i actually think about this a lot. think about common fears. the one thing they all have in common is they’re linked with the unknown, somehow. like, basically all fears boil down to the fear of the unknown. people fear animals and bugs because they don’t know what they’re capable of doing to them, or what’ll happen to them if they DO do something to them. people fear drugs/alcohol (like me) because they don’t know what they’ll do or what they’re capable of doing with less self-control. so, that’s cool and all, i hear you say, but what about the fears typed in pokemon? well, ok, bugs. that’s the easiest of the three: you can just research them?? lmao go google that beetle, you’ll be fine. yeah, you’ll still be scared of the ones that you now KNOW can hurt you, but you can psych yourself up and away from that, really. or just avoid them. when it comes to ghosts, it can go one of two ways: either you can explain away whatever it is sparked the fear at that moment in the first place and calm yourself by believing they aren’t real, or you can just accept that, hey, that was a ghost, and coexist with it. chill with the ghost. offer it some cheez its. so again, you can will your way past that fear. the problem with the dark, though, is that it’s essentially the purest form of the “unknown” you can get while also keeping it physical rather than conceptual. if you’re in a dark room, or a dark forest, or the basement with a single, flickering, bulb, you can’t will that fear away. you either fear the dark, or you’re lucky enough to not. there is no way to know whether you’re alone or not. there is nothing to research, nothing to explain. there’s nothing but you, your mind, and the suffocating blackness. in this situation, really, your mind isn’t on your side anymore (again, assuming you have a fear of the dark), so how can you be expected to do anything against it?
dragon X fairy : and they all lived happily ever after :)

thoughts on Brand X (7x18)
Written by Steven Maeda and Greg Walker Directed by Kim Manners
What’s all this about
We’re in a new era ladies...the post-fuck era and frankly, I’m terrified
Hello cockroach
The hell
That’s unfortunate
Morley...heard of it
Oop
This is kinda boring
I wanna be entertained
Ahh, a tobacco beetle
CSM is probably gonna be involved, and I don’t want that
His airways have been reamed out
He basically choked to death
Skinner’s surprised by Mulder suggesting killer bugs at this point? Really?
Oh yuck
This is the kind of episode they have like one or two of per season that I can tell from the beginning will be highly uninteresting to me
There’s no strong emotional core, there’s no wackiness...it feels very much like the procedural that it is...the show doesn’t always feel like that
This guy is good looking at least
“How many people have to die before you do the right thing?”
These tobacco beetles are possibly genetically engineered
Also this is kinda an outdated premise at this point
Also, TBH I have no idea what’s going on
I think the problem I have with episodes like this is that they’re entirely plot based...we all know this show isn’t about plot, it’s about the feeling...the moment I have to actually understand the plot, you’ve lost me
Oh gross!
Oh fuck
Nooo please noooo
Alright now at least something interesting is happening
I don’t appreciate it though
Skinner’s got that federal search warrant
Dying?? Dying??
The idea of engineering a safer cigarette is good but...it went wrong
Oh my fucking god
Pleaseeee spare my life
This is traumatic
What the hell
Oop, what’s up with Dr. Voss
Weaver, give us the key to saving Mulder
“Toodles?” Get your ass back here
He shot ya
You’re really hitting us with that two weeks later?
So they loaded him with nicotine
Thank you sir, for throwing that away
It better stay in the garbage
Consensus: Eh. They should have involved Mulder in it earlier, and not jipped us of the most dramatic part, his treatment.
3.5 out of 5 stars

Clone Wars Episode 17
Blue Shadow Virus
Inter- sting
[Title Scene]
[Quote: Fear is the disease, Hope is the only cure
Acc oun tab- Okay
Battle Droids
Narrator is on point again
Uhm
Wasn’t This Estab -lished
I’ve already given my thoughts on the ‘peaceful planets’ thing
Need to be more accountable
Neat Looks. Cool
High Alert.
When is it not?
What’s with the look?
It wouldn’t matter so much...
Nvm
Just weirds me out a little
Also, yeah, she is a senator now
Aha
That makes A Lot Of Sense
Mean- while
Even graver threat
Aight
Okay
This is what we’re doing
My lady
That’s a different look
[Was is expecting her normal uniform or her handmaidens thing; It works; just confused About the protocol
If it’s a separate planet do you wear the handmaiden (robe) thing?
But then the senator...
[i’m just really curious about clothing]
Only the three
Okay,
That makes sense
I was about to say...
‘Amidala kicks ass but I don’t think she’s the one you wanna have fighting in the war,’
I really like this character, they got her tone more so right
Clearly knowing she could fix the problem but deciding to blame someone else
In a ‘make someone else deal with it’ gesture (Even if it is a little wobbled)
Liking it a lot better
Then the Pho- quasi- Adult Thing
Amidala unfortunately Borders Close To
With the I’m -an- adult- but- not- accountable
Which No if she’s an adult; She is accountable and therefore an enabler
Not Cute
A few battle droids won’t be enough
Yeah, no, duh, it’s a war Queen saw a few battle droids and flipped out
That’s a scouts sighted in the area report and that’s it
Also this is what I’m talking about
Right there was an up swell in music
To portray innocence
When in reality it should probably be something a bit more somber, bit more struggling ‘do I want to conscientiously, enable this?’ Instead of ‘this is new and surprising �� information!’ Generally speaking, her tone and the music are bit too light
Could use more base
Can’t make me feel for Enabler Amidala (if she is supposed to be an adult)
(If they were going for child soldier then the opposite is true; it needs to be a lot lighter, to denote innocence
And the dialogue really needs to be altered
(Sorry I went on a rant there About her chara cter it’s just been bothering Me for quite some time)
Just... don’t do quasi-adult; it’s creepy
On with the story;
Captain Ty -phoo
Also Jar Jar Binks is here
Who knows
Well I didn’t really cover the last review he was in
It wasn’t character saving
But they did show pro-
Aight, This doctor bot is everywhere
Must be always on call
[I know. there might be millions of copies of him But this one seems relatively sentient and the model looks relatively ineffectual)
(Not to mention grievous’s medical droid..)
The personality is at least very convincingly. programmed
Retrieve any information
Why is the Med droid here?
Like... I know he’s a droid ....
Does no one have a different model droid?
Some thing a little less clanky?
....
They did a relatively good job
Like a pod for maybe the venting system armor, being off (Possibly)
I don’t know what I’m looking at
He looks completely fine
(Looks like he should be standing about now)
I mean maybe it was a headshot
But I haven’t seen that yet
But all the date isn’t stored in the head, right?
Robots aren’t human beings
(Except for general grievous)
He’s a noticeable outlier
Aight
Ha, he is acting more accountable
Like an actual sentient creature
Whelp
Also, see there’s not even a scratch on him!
Queenie Here
was over reacting!
I don’t think they could’ve brought him back
(In better shape)
Like seriously what did they use?
Electric?
water?
(Did she want them to read them their rights?)
Also, that’s fair
I mean that’s like an apple sitting on the table
Still acting like a relatively accountable character
(I still have no idea what generation he falls in, But that’s a constantly reoccurring. problem, Not limited to his character?)
....
You brought a bot to witness a bot autopsy
Cruel
(Treat your roombas with respect)
Permission denied
Dick
Well
Also that bug is going to be the one that carries the virus isn’t it?
Like, I held my tongue earlier
But there is a lot of focus being put on that bug
So what Jar-Jar is the cure?
Also shouldn’t the others leave?
Emotional Manipulation
(Yeah I know these are robots and they technically signed up for War)
But...geez
If...this scene doesn’t wanna make you hug you nearby roomba
Medical Heroics
Whelp
That Sucks..
Off
Secret
Geez
Ow
Dick
Off
Also, That does kinda sense for a child To Do
Whelp
Dick
Also you just got back from the dead but now he’s dead, for good?
....
Yeah if you killed me multiple times...
Sorry,
Wow well he really does act like a child
They got the download eye-movement, ‘ Feel bad gesture Really Well
(Shame they can’t do it for the rest of the characters)
After
...
It does really make sense
Including his awkward reflection
I really like what they’re doing with Jar-Jar this episode
Though it begs to differ for how old is he compared to the Senator? I thought he Padme and Anakin were somewhere around the same age group
(And you can say this is stupid because he was clearly older than Anakin in the movie, but things get ret-conn ed And he wasn’t acting like a child)
And Ahsoka’s generation was another entirely Where that puts him, I don’t know
Since I’m going with them going with adults for Anakin and Padme (Given the initiative) Despite this means that the chancellor can’t groom him
If he’s an adult
He can make his own decisions
And while it is a very weird decision to skip over the 22nd birthday
It’s not forbidden
Just Weird
(Hope they don’t try to play it off as Anakin being victim of circumstance, after all the initiative and free will he Shows)
Oof
[generally speaking I really liked what they did with Jar-Jar’s character, I felt that what they did with the beetle and the bot transition was very smooth, [even if there is no mud on that bot], I just really think they did a good job using Jar-Jar’s character for plot importance, making his character more consistent, And that the writing team for this episode was just very good]
“ I think Jar-jar just figured out where that lab,”
I mean he did help providing, information
But you were the one that put it together
Still seems to be a child and therefore can’t do that
[otherwise I have to break out the unchildlike]
“They’re planning an attack on Naboo,”
No shit
Seriously
Do you think the scouting droids were just for the scout for real estate? [Not to conquer] We will send two Jedi,”
Oh- so...
Seriously is it never not them?
Like is there ever a time he says I’ll send two Jedi
And it’s just like Mace Windu and Luminara?
Like you know you’re getting those assholes
Especially Obi-wan Who seems to be esteemed bitch of the council
Like he always gets thrown at the problems and he never ever does anything
And they just seem to do it for shits and giggles Like, “are you going to do anything interesting this time will Obi-wan?”
[Not questioning core conventions]
Oh gosh, please no love triangle
[or I guess maybe it’s ok since they’re both adults, but please no Quasi tone]
Please
For the life of me...
“ General Kenobi and General Skywalker,”
Like seriously is it ever someone else?
[Alt. ‘No, sorry we can only interest you in a Windu,”]
[ Seriously when ever...
Relations with a Gungans are a little tense right now
Okay, that makes a little sense
Also Shouldn’t the Queen be doing some thing?
Like I know Amidala is from around here
But She seems to be able to date on the most recent news
The thing with the Gungans could’ve calmed down by now by the time they got there
Send them we will
I want as much information as possible
‘You didn’t ask this before’
You just started calling shots
Which is fine
It’s just a little weird with Queenie sitting right there
Maybe get them some virus gear
That seems pretty important
[Like...
I don’t think they said anything about the virus..]
Which is kind of a big deal
Download any of the other. battle droids memory
Oh yeah you only checked one
Also, you should go to the Senate?
Wasn’t that the whole purpose?
Also - to keep people up-to-date in case shit happens?
Are you sure that’s wise?
He’s right it is a stupid plan
If you want to be a scout - sure
But you’re not really made for hard-to-hard combat
[and should probably bring some kind of virus protection gear]
Because you know some bullshit could go down
[though I acknowledged it is a bit complete of a jump given that most of the warfare we’ve seen so far has been combat-to-combat, ship-to-ship, hand-to-hand, In biological warfare [against your own species] Is a horrific escalation We need to bring this man down before he kills our entire species
[Which he has proven wanton to do]
And their reaction is completely understandable
Given that the species has likely never heard (/seen biological warfare)
And might not even know that you can engineer a virus
(Or illness)
Depending how idealistic this little village was before this
Come on Jar-Jar
Oh neat
Also yeah bring the child along with you
“Enabling power of love,” Doesn’t excuse actually enabling child soldiers
Weird Out fit
The tick bugs are also a bit kind of weird
But, alright
Inventive
Whelp
Okay
WTF
Illnesses
Then again it has been leaked for quite a while
Don’t think just rubbing your hands off will help
Also, so the Gungans are definitely dead ,right?
They live in water presumably where this stream is going...
Water...
It’s not a pretty picture
Poor Here
Also, so that the whole river is polluted right?
Aight, Go tell someone...
Oh, hey they were smart
Off
Came across the exact same area?
I thought...
I thought they were just going to see like a bunch of angry farmers and put together the pieces
Like, ok, time to head back to the Senate and get bigger reinforcements, * didn’t like only two of them drink?
Not that many
Or cut off the pollution Plague
Wait you knew there was a plague??
We’re not just gonna skip over that...
Like, I would’ve gone with some asshole dumped pollutants in the water and now we got to kick his ass
Like we went from a parenthetical virus
To...
The plague
That shit takes time and a lot of enabling...?
And, also we went to murder real quick
Like that farmer has a pitchfork and is ready to kill
In like... five minutes
Shouldn’t you be petitioning a council right now?
Or deciding to nope right out of society
Like; That’s what I would do
Bullshit’s happening outside you stay inside
Whelp
What the heck, Lady?!
You literally attacked someone for wearing a different color shirt!
(Because remember they live right next to air walkers, and they been their neighbors for like ever]
Whelp, Shit
“Whatcha thinking,”
Exactly
That’s my thoughts
Like regardless of what situation you’re into
That kind of thinking is never first to rational thoughts
She was just down to body someone regardless of who they are
And you can’t make me believe her the victim
Like... Tox lady
Tox
Whelp
Okay ‘Day
Lady you pounced on someone wearing a helmet
Might’ve been a fashion statement
Might’ve their life support system
(Because, remember, this is a galaxy with multiple different ways is that regularly visit each other on different basis,)
Like I’m not gonna right First Contact rules here
But if that was Plo he’d be dead
Because not all species are adapted to other environments
And you can’t colonizers place and make it hospitable because there’s like other life
So, yeah you could’ve murdered someone!
Just dick move lady
That was just a generally dick move
Water
Why didn’t you just say that instead of attempting to body them?
Like I will never get over how much of a dick move that was
(Like that episode with Kid Fisto)
(Such a dick !)
What
You’re just believing a random person...
Like she could be a separatist spy
Trying to kill you
(Like we know she isn’t but seriously)
Wtf
Peppe Bow
Well, Peppe you just attempted to body a senator...
How do you even know that they’re her animals?
You just got here
All you know that she tried to body you
[i’ll get over the bodying thing]
but seriously not cool
Ok
“Mesa Take you,”
“No,”
Yeah like that’s a bad idea
Like should’ve send a warning up to the whole colony and world idea
Like, seriously, Amidala, shouldn’t you call someone about that?
“Peppe, you’ll be going home soon,”
Wait she can’t even go home?
Like, seriously, how bad is the situation?
How Tox is it?
Theed
Dude...
What if she doesn’t live in Theed?
Like, does Amidala just have a photographic memory of everyone’s names and facial structure, including the Gungans?
Because she’s making a lot of assumptions
And is why assumed authority doesn’t work
Aka
Amidala being pretty tox
Like that’s a presumed adult you’re taking authority of it Amidala
I’m pretty sure she knows not to run towards the tox...
Nodded
Well this got dark...
Anything out of the ordinary
Whelp
Lel-lants
Levilance?
Leverance (leverage?)
And seriously what was with that camera zoom
Escort our guests inside
Why?
[like I know he’s the Mad science archetype, and where this is headed, but like that is a really stupid move
Like she has no idea where your hideout is So just, invite her in,
Weird Not Of The Question Weird
Seriously the Separtist are just a bunch of war crimes
Aight
Jar-Jar is just the lord of all conveniences
Okay, new plan, you got the entrance, grab some guards, come back, beat the shit out of them
* I know I’m doing the all for accountability and beat the shit out of the asshole yourself but A) Amidala hasn’t an experience any of this bullshit and there’s crossed into severity ‘I’m going to kill all humanity’ territory
I don’t blame Amidala for her innocence
Because this is becoming one of those ‘immediate accountability situations’
Good job
I really have no idea how to react to a virus situation to be quite honest
Like how tox...
Ha
Seriously how did you not hear that?
Play the victim
Then possibly fecking shoot him (Thinking smart, not accountably)
Nope
...
Dude (Not to shame,) But I think he is a swamp creature
I mean - we don’t see anyone else that looks like him
He’s out Of nowhere
He doesn’t seem Kamooin (Long neck) But he doesn’t seem quite .... Human
Life
Aight
How
Oh, He’s a polite creatin of mass destruction planning to destroy all life, and literally the most toxic
A demonstration is in order
Uhm, no
No thank you
Dude, you just removed the whole force field for one vial?
That is a disaster waiting to happen?
Like you obviously shouldn’t fuck around with things like that
- the past
- what’s beneath the earth’s core
- Earth’s waste products
- human body
- Toxicity (in general)
“The return of the infamous blue...”
Wait, infamous...?
This shit has happened before??
“Blue shadow virus,”
Well if it’s happened before then you can easily kick it’s ass
*like I know the implication is that he modified it
But only in a toxic society would that work...
Extinct
So you use accountable practices to kill it
So it isn’t a threat
Ago
I have given it life
Tox
(The actions
not the storytelling)
Like you literally enable this just because he wanted to screw over humanity (Sentience?)
Humanity on Naboo?
It’s a bit weird because I don’t think Earth is ever brought up
(Which is good for suspension)
Taking life
He’s.... trying
But... Again
If.....everything had separate water and food and General Accountability Practices...
“Poison The Gun-gan Water...”
So, we’re just going to acknowledge that right?
Like they’re screwed?
“Yeahyeahyeahyeah”
Wtf..?
Am I having a stroke...?
What... the.. fuck...?
(It sounds like a SpongeBob laugh)
Heck....?
Yes...?
Un-fortunately What?
....
Improved
Dude
Are you trying to get everyone .. dead?
(Like I know that’s the point...)
But.... ....
Don’t
Okay, going full mad scientist with the lightning
Nice
Air-born strain
Oh, my god there were multiple problems with that
But, mainly don’t play god
Like lightning can cause shit
But...it shouldn’t
Like, just don’t commit war crimes
Specifically against your fellow man
Because shit tends to happen when you do
(Unpredictable]
Bombs
Last
Geez that bot reacts worse than general grievous ’s
Who is actually quite nice to his bots when the episode doesn’t demand it
WtF, did you do to the roomba?
Seriously, we went from 1 to 10 on the scale
From Yoda and Sidious throwing airplanes at each other
To intentional biological warfare
[Break up was rough]
[Sidious is tox]
[Yoda isn’t helping]
“ are you insane?”
No he’s malicious
... and you’re an enabler
Come on kick his ass
Like, not innocent here If he can make it, you can destroy it. (Pretty Much)
Immediate accountability is hecking up my vibe
But you’ve seen the shit kill
And know that he caused it
(Like no one gets brought into a secret lab and thinks ‘oh yeah this is a good situation’)
So, like it is accountability, on sight
And you’re failing
“ no life forms are immune to it,”
Then it would’ve killed everyone
Like this this is a little bullshit
Like not only do you live on the planet
Having some degree of compatibility with it
But...
Also wildly different compatibilities and biology
Secondly, eradicated
If there’s a problem, there’s likely a solution right over the corner
Also hey there’s a cure so no problem
Murdered
No, she’s right, eradicating
A life form that can’t produce positivity (Or has the structure to produce productivity without the assistance of others)
Aka; difference between Toxic and non-sentient /Affable Evil sentient
And the difference between nonsentient and affable evil
It’s some kind of non-essential logic
Meaning it is capable of thought processes that don’t involve eating and or doing (basic maintenance Survival)
That shit isn’t alive
Tox
Okay
Poor Guy
Bunny eared bot
Superior Life Forms Are Spreading Their Disease
Dude... Who seriously gets hit with this shit and doesn’t think I’m going to go take a bath?
Or you know behave cautiously
(Seriously as noted this requires everyone to be an idiot)
And a dick
(More Specifically]
Wipe out the galaxy
As awful as it seems, he is doing this maliciously
So I try to (avoid) using the word “Idiot,” Because a better description is Unaccountable, Toxic, Or Malicious
(I don’t let people out of accountability that easily)
Like; no one is innocent in the circumstance
(Even though he’s the most toxic)
Amidala should be snarking while doing it
Because if everyone is accountable and doesn’t enable this bullshit, It can’t go that far
What?
Beautiful
Beautiful shot
Sun composition
And texture
Very Nice
They really did a good job
Also hey there’s now
Also I’ll say what I do with Ahsoka -
Please let her be good
*with everyone else there’s room for doubt
But with her they specifically call her youngling
*and I’m just gonna have to assume everyone else is badly written
*Excluding Jar-jar because that was very clearly Operated And Managed - Not to - Just have him be a walking disaster pile
Aight
Where’s Senator Amidala?
.....?
And you let her go....?
He has a point....
Not really...
Assumed authority is bullshit
But in terms of the story
And Amidala position as just a senator Enabler
And Anakin it is either being really tox...
Or...
Peppe Bow
She still here?
Are you keeping the girl hostage?
Also yeah ‘I tried to attack-
*slice*
I don’t see this conversation going well
Specifically When Tox
‘They’
Seriously, no one is questioning the sick maker?
Like, I don’t think they mentioned that in their report?
Also yeah she brought the child with her
[Amidala- Enabler-]
“ You got it master!”
Again with the enthusiasm
They’ve clearly never seen a child in a classroom
(Or bothered to use the memory of being a child)
Why didn’t you send someone to look for them?
Again, Toxic?
Or, replication of tox orders (with too heavy a tone?)
I don’t know
And neither does the music
Here’s the thing; you can’t make me feel for enablers
Here’s the thing I like about grievous;
Particularly my favor ite episode;
Notice how they never betray him as a good guy?
Like there was any validity to him turning over?
And the theme well it had updrifts, never completely lightened up, with this flow -ery Non Sense? Yeah he got shit thrown at him
And I admit To “Aww -ing A few Times- - But I never questioned the validity of the fact Or had any doubts that it was of his own making
Here I’m constantly doubting my emotions to the circumstance
Which is not a good thing
When writing a good and consistent story .... For me to be wondering the age of the characters ..... Because context clues should key me in ..... Meanwhile we’ve been through (almost) Monotone Anakin to voiced-by an adult, acting
Acting like what I don’t know
Remaining (squarely) in the realm of I-don’t-know What the fuck they’re doing
Hoping that they aren’t going for the pho- “Teenager”
“This is how they talk like”
When no child or adult Has ever talked like that ever
Which is disturbing when this is supposed to be a “love story” (No I won’t touch that with a 50 foot pole)
And leaves me questioning how I should feel about scenes like this
As a possible allegory for the over sexualization of children
Or a show or Anakin becoming a toxic individual and a toxic adult (partner)
I don’t know (Possibly bad writing) Back to the story
“What latest developments?”
You seriously Didn’t tell them about The Virus??
Dude Obi-wan’s bringing his (possible) child And Anakin’s Definite Child Apprentice - Those Don’t have a lot of defenses against tox
Seriously Dude
(Dick Move)
On Everyone’s part
“Robo anatomy,”
Is that seriously what you’re calling it
Like they literally brought him back to life?
To kill him again
That’s rough Also who’s managing coms with Padme?
Like she clearly made a sound when she was kidnapped right?
Who is that?
Dude, seriously the command droid didn’t see this shit but the basic clanker got it When all that’s left of him is a head
Do you know this could’ve been a really good call back to the previous episode and an improvement on that Intel bit I mocked Un-miercilessly (Stairs) But it’s just nonsensical here
What is a shame because it would make so much more sense (emotionally) and (physically For the lower ranked Clanker on the emergency table to be a bit stunned, about giving a speech
- And showing us a sur-prise amount of intelligence
While the severed head Would hold more intelligence as the commander
I just.... have a lot of feelings
And, am a little... disappointed
I like the Roombas...
On with the story...
“Nerro Vindi, the senior medic for the para-families,”
Oof
“Ten years ago,”
Any more specifics?
Or did he just wandered into the woods On his own free will?
Wait, Where are you getting the transmission
And why aren’t you sending a rescue party?
Or going to remove the bombs
Or going to inform someone?
Or going to fix the clearly broken architectural of your entire place if this is a threat to you?
Like, seriously captain of guard
Do something!
You could’ve had an intel guy tell this information
“Plague,”
Oh so having terrible architecture that allows this to go any father isn’t just -is a galaxy wide problem
Great
Good to know I never have to worry about those fuckers
“There is some good news”
You fixed your arch-
(I’ll stop roasting their architecture- For now-)
Found the Lab
Dude Just completely-
“Disappeared,”
Hold up
Let me rewind
Yep
That’s Amidala with a com device
[if anyone was wondering where the bullshitery lands;
It’s the fact that she could literally be transmitting this all straight to the base and her superiors (she put it in her pocket)
[Presumably still has it]
If there was an a questions about accountability
“Here, here and here,”
How?
Never mind- she did ask them to do that
That’s-
fair logic
....
Okay
...... .....
“If,”
Seriously what is that voice?
Killed.... ....
....
Better to have one planet infected in the entire galaxy...
Aight
.....
Here
Whelp
Also yeah they didn’t give Ahsoka a map or any kind of instruction?
Great freakin mentors (They all shit but Especially)
Seriously- Just
Well she did help her down eventually
Also does it not have sound?
Okay
I would normally commentate about how they don’t report that back
But when it’s Ahsoka I just let my brain go numb
There’s no risk so why bother
“They’ll be here in a moment,”
Again, there was an insane maniac out there - who possibly kidnapped your “girlfriend” (Possibly) - and you’re just sitting here doing nothing?
[This could be a good saying about Aniken showing toxic traits but his tone is too light, I cannot tell,]
You aren’t even worried about Ahsoka?
You seem a bit on edge
Like un-childlike so
Or adult being toxic so?
Because the scene is holding him accountable to nothing
[if it was just plain toxicity He should be knowingly so....
And more on edge
.....
Hmmm
You know
Wish that had some weight
I’m better at hiding it
Anakin needs less snark and Obi-Wan needs more
[or they both need more]
I don’t know what they were going for in this scene
[or anything else with this character or tone]
Lab
Seriously, You waited for that
Do not attempt to get inside
‘We haven’t for the last hour,’
Like, seriously this is supposed to be intense, right?
‘Bunker Bomb,’
Whoa, movie I need you to differente The bombs - A little Better
What- Does this thing do? - Hatchet - - - “Rex and his men,”
Oh yeah
Where are they? C’mon
Oh, they’re here
“Anakin, Padme may be lost,”
A child...
Would not react (Would react With The Emotion-less Response Taught)
An Adult....
Wouldn’t worry Because another adult Could Handle It
A (Toxic) Adult;
Smug bastard that knows another adult could handle it but choses to be toxic anyway
Anakin;
Reactionary No confidence
?????
WHAT AM I-
.......
Ha
Anakin decide to go on the carrier
(For, no apparent reason)
And...
Aight, There Still There
Okay
Good for Her... ?
Right How
What?
Good for her
Was that a Bunker bomb?
[I’m confused]
Woah
Also that alarm is a lot more destructive than the actual explosion
Whelp
Breach
....
- -
He’s creepy
- -
Oh now he puts on the mask
After... all this bullshit
You’re still in the air?
Thought you would’ve been on the ground
In Case, he tried to escape
And Rex was supposed to be backing Ahsoka up
?????
[what is this plan?] .....
No
Why...didn’t you arrange an escort....
Like, She’s almost definitely going to get involved in the action now
Or is more likely to get caught in the cross-
Never-mind she’s an adult, she knows how to take care of herself
Aight, O’kday
Peppy is ready to put her skills of bodying people to use
The most terrif -ying
Whelp- Wait, Fighting’s already happening...
You got there five seconds ago...
HOW?!
What?!
Okay...
There are BOMBS in there
Obi-wan is overdramatic
And should have broken knees
From not slowing down the fall
Whelp
Skywalker Is Down For Death
[I wouldn’t recommend watching the scene if you have a fear of heights or falling!]
And he ends up with a spr-
Rex; Show Off [Intern-ally]
“it’s quiet in here,”
“looks like a Ahsoka,”
I love how he starts with Ahsoka Like Obi-Wan doesn’t matter
“’s, Distraction is working,”
Not a word to Obi-Wan
-we all know Obi-Wan didn’t do shit
The fact that the child soldier is more likely
How?
Alright
Bunny eared bullshit
Okay
The child soldiers are kicking more ass than Obi-wan
This is a problem in writing
Okay
“Padme”
Great to shot your weakness?
Die!
No! Not Jar-Jar!
His character has surprisingly grown on me
And he’s the only innocent party in this cir -cum-stance
Being chara- cter- ized As A Child
Padme can get out of that situation-
He can’t
Aww
Also - Obi-Wan is nowhere to be seen
Great Job
Anakin, Stall
Enablers
Room full of enablers
Okay... Whatever
What’s Obi-wan Up To
Ahsoka’s being an abomination of nature
Good...
Obi-Wan... actually decided to do something
Greaaat, Isn’t there a virus you’re supposed to be destroying?
Yeah, Okay
Also, Better Snark
Your child character shouldn’t be capable of the same amount of emotion as your adult character .... Great ...... He’s a smart Villain
Then again literally all the adults are fine
The only two characters we have to worry about are Jar-Jar And (Tech- nic ally) Ahsoka Who logically shouldn’t be able to get out of the situation
But she has broken that wall so many times it might as well be a free space on a bingo board a cardinal sins (of writing) the writers have committed
So I’m only worried about Jar-jar in this scene
A surprising turn, for some
Choice
“Killing you,”
HOW!
Seriously that should be an actually threatening moment, But it’s like if a kicked a puppy dog said it
Either Anakin should know those words and that’s the tragedy of the situation (Not the emotion of the situation which he shouldn’t have)
Adult;
That should be an actually terrifying situation ....
Going back to the General Grievous example;
Remember how I said I aw- that it elicited emotion Out of me?
It wasn’t because he was vulnerable (Though Chil-dren Circum-stance Can Elicit Said (Emotional) Response)
It was because the situation was bad And no one deserves bad Even though I acknowledge is one of his own making (And Liverance)
Here- I just shrug
If he’s an adult, that’s tox If he’s Child, then it’s un-childlike. (Un-adultlike Too)
But the narrative doesn’t commit to either
So, I don’t have any emotion
.....
Dude, seriously flatter him
He’s clearly the type of villain that gets distracted by flattery
Damn it Jar- Jar
He is the only one that big dramatic music better be playing for
Whelp-heck
.....
Ahahhhahaha
That clone...
Just...
Lightly.
TAPPED ....
[Re:watched; I don’t know why but for some reason the animation made it look like, dude, here just lightly tapped this droid’s shoulder and it [just] fell down and this other dude just fucking bodied both of them]
I don’t know why that just cracked me up
Good on whoever animated that
Made me laugh
On with it
Are you okay
[Of course she’s OK is Jar Jar, alright?]
[Romance Music]
Hmmmm, Ha
No- Just no-
If you can’t put in the effort to write accountable adult characters, movie,
You don’t get to have a romance scene
*You didn’t earn it
[accountably write adult characters, you can still portray toxic relationships,* If you do so accountably]
*Without narrative rom antici zation
[Cuts Away]
Thank You
Okay
Oh yeah she can definitely handle a tank
Ahsoka’s A Mary Sue
[I’ve already called Anakin this before I have no hesitation
Continuing on
Grab your blasters
Oh yeah screw getting the important person away from danger!
They wouldn’t be on the floor in the first place...
Also, hey where is Jar-jar?
(He was the only innocent party in this.)
S’up Aight
Also I’m surprise that Obi-Wan’s guys are orange I thought this theme would be blue
Blue eyes
Blue Temperament
(Chill)
Etc
Yes
Don’t speak-
Heck
There they went
“ Spoke too you soon,”
No shit - Sherlock
“Anakin,”
I guess - you didn’t- capture the doctor
“No Obi-Wan I rescued the very important prisoner which was ne -cessary,”
They could send her with the clones
But she could also take care of herself
So I was never really worried about her
* do you have the bombs*
His lips- Didn’t move
-The lip-synch
- [ The animation- Re-Watch,-]
Just didn’t work-
For that scene!
Bombs
Missing
There’s Jar-Jar
[“Master?”]
[Stops, in the hallway,]
DON’T stop in the hallway...!
....
Missing bomb
Yeah you should go upstairs and look for it
Or WARN your people!
[at least get the kids away from it!]
Vindi, bomb
Great
[that’s a good thing I wasn’t really paying attention to that]
Also great it’s an egg hunt for a bomb
Fun Times
Droid
Let’s move
[I was about to say who gave Ahsoka her own command?” But that’s Rex,]
Okay, Get It
Also, Wait-
Never-mind Amidala’s An Adult
[I was about to bring up a point that she should get her- clearance quarantine thing back, because the Jedi (adult) might have shields, but it doesn’t matter Either way
Also; that thing looks bigger than it looked in other scenes
Never- mind Might be the same
Oh
Good reaction
Put it somewhere safe
Then go beat the ever - loving crud out of him
[for the story, not for accountability]
Okay, Aight
Can someone not screw with the power to his ship
Aight
That works too...
Okay...
That’s wood Right
Okay, Poor Drones Clones
Hope they’re good at their jobs
Then again they do have helmets
....
There’s the thing
[Again Why would you follow]
Damn!
That’s toothless
but scary
Got It
Oh No
How did you not have a bomb diffuser on your team??.
What were-
There was no risk-
But still-
The logic
* Obi-wan does a Leap*
Drops vials
Well, crud
Don’t they have masks tho-
Also- no
Crud
So why can’t one Force dude just play catch?
- while the other-
-was it because Obi-wan wanted to show off?
- I think it was
Never mind
Crud
Body Him Peepe
How
Yes
Get Him
Whelp
Her skill came in use
Okay
His voice actor must be having a fucking day
(It sounds like a fun role)
...
Whelp
Good For Him
“Deactivated as well,”
That’s actually pretty funny
“ i’m ok too,”
Yeah he really didn’t care about you
Then, again, neither do I abomination
Cool Neat
Cool, so that episode
It’s very like the last one
“Hidden enemy”?
With a very clear gimmick
That one - spies
This one; the plague plot
Not with a lot of logic- (or the best set up) - if you focus on the main “gimmick,”, it works
- with minor animation issues that bug me
Unfortunately, unlike the other, This one doesn’t have the basis of a compelling character
- This one’s tone is too light
While the other’s tone was perfect, and matched the seriousness of the subject
And showed the tragedy of enabling a bad situation
(And elicit an emotional reaction from me)
While this one can’t even take himself seriously
And neither can I
