devastated by the election results i really thought people would vote a woman with qualifications and political experience instead of a rapist and literal felon but apparently i had too much hope in humanity.

I agree with some of your points! The fact that Astrid is black doesn’t matter, the fact that she isn’t blonde doesn’t matter, yes. That is not the point of the film and will not play a roll in it at all. People complaining about that are typically just being racist and justifying their actions behind a shitty wall of ‘oh but it’s not historically accurate,’ which is plain stupid. I’ve never personally seen anything Nico Parker has been in but I’m sure she’s an amazing actress!

However, there are some very valid criticisms about the teasers, and telling people to ‘shut up’ because they’re ‘shitting on it’ when you see a point that you do not agree with is just blatantly rude. At the end of the day, like you said, it is just a fantasy film and people are allowed to hold opinions on it, whether they be positive or negative. You can hold a respectful, nuanced discussion about a topic without throwing insults at people you disagree with like you’re back on a primary school yard.

And that goes for the other side of the ‘argument’ too. People who don’t like the live action insulting those who do also gets us nowhere, and is also equally as rude.

Personally, some of my complaints about the film is that it definitely slots into the soulless cash grab live action remake genre that has been popping up as of late, Hiccup looks like a fully grown man(Nothing against Mason Thames! I LOVED his role in The Black Phone) and the costume/set design is questionable. Those would be my main ones anyway.

But there are also things I do like! The animation/cgi is very high quality, in one of the scenes you can see a brief shot of Toothless’ second eyelid peeling back, which is such a cool detail! And it does seem pretty accurate to the first film in terms of being relatively shot-for-shot. Correct me if I’m wrong but one of the directors mentioned something about it being as close to the original as possible.

I’d love for there to be an actual discussion about this, I’d also love to hear your thoughts on why you’d like/dislike the live action! :)

HTTYD FANDOM LISTEN UP

Quit shitting on the live-action. We're all going to go see it when it comes out anyway. It doesn't matter that Astrid is black. Black Vikings existed. It doesn't matter that Astrid isn't blonde. It's not the point of the story. It doesn't matter that Toothless doesn't look mad. It's Not a shot-for-shot remake. There will be differences. Get over yourselves. It doesn't matter that it's a possible cash grab. It's meant to draw in new fans and revive the fandom. There are plans beyond the live-action.

Stop shitting on the actors for accepting their roles. Most of them are children/teenagers getting their foot in the door for grander things to come. Let them be excited that they get to play characters they love and can embody.

The movie is not historical l, it is fantasy. It is about teenage Vikings flying dragons and defeating the big boss. It is about friendship and family. It is about finding a better way.

GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES AND ENJOY THE GODSDAMN MOVIE.

If you want to shit on it, wait until after you and others have had a chance to watch it. Until then:

SHUT UP

Sincerely all the fans who are tired of the bitching and just want to enjoy the movie

Wasn’t expecting to get too excited about the 2024 Pokemon Presents, but that curveball Pokemon Z as a Legends game with Game Freak taking extra time for development is pretty hype.

Kalos deserved better than X and Y, so hoping it gets a lot of love!

Anyway. I’m here because I want to share my day 1 moonshot theory before theory-crafting goes out of style.

It’s all based on this image here from the Legends Z-A trailer:

I understand the point of this trailer is to show Lumiose City’s redevelopment blueprints coming to life. But my brain said “Fullmetal Alchemist.”

So, what if this game reveals that the city planner behind modern-day Lumiose (preferably a cunty, femme-coded ancestor to Lysandre and/or Sycamore, let’s be honest) designed the equivalent of an Amestris transmutation circle? Either to reactivate the ancient weapon or mess with the balance of nature some other way to draw out Zygarde for yadda yadda evil plotting.

I think Rhys would be sooooo much more interesting if his dad were still alive

[siaradwast]

good god. done some brief catching up of the news over the past few weeks in the uk since ive been pretty tapped out due to focusing on uni and having like. a still ongoing mental health crisis. very bleak that having labour in charge literally seems no different to the conservatives. (didn't expect much but holy hell. it's bad) (giving ozempic to unemployed people to get them back to work? sending job advisors to visit patients in mental health hospitals? REAL suggestions from the health secretary of the uk). and now kemi badenoch is head of the conservatives.

[tortoise-teapot]

hey but what if like the mage-templar war never reached the anderfels. what if by veilguard hossberg circle is still there and thriving

(lowkey a lore request does anyone know the sitch)

[thefaultinoursprinkles]

I’m so fucking sick of this shit. I could never have imagined how absolutely fucked things would be when I was an adult. I remember being like wow global warming is fucked up and the world will probably be really different in the future but like. every single aspect of society is so fucked up it just blows my mind.

[stars-and-guts]

[lolo-chi]

I don't think you understand my ego right now. I made a post about Batman's friends saying how they'd rail him in front of his face and it became a heritage post, and now the post I made years ago about how David Corenswet should play Superman has become cemented as just as iconic in my mind now that he has actually been cast as Superman. I can't take criticism. I am God.

Me, in a conversation: What's going on in Gaza is genocide and objectively abhorrent.

Them: Well, ya know the Palestinians *random bullshit justifications for the slaughter of thousands of innocent people*

TIL that Schindler’s List (a movie about the holocaust) came out the same year as Jurassic Park.

is it just me, or does that give some serious Oppenheimer and Barbie vibes?
