☕️ OH YKNOW WHAT AT THAT NOTE? Talk about that dbs broly movie cuz yknow. That’s a hot topic of the ages that folk feel particularly really strongly about

ooooh ive been waiting for this one. We watched this together on discord so you know my general feelings but Im happy i got this ask lol.

putting this under read more cause it gets long

The new movie that everyone seems to love and adore.... that I dont. It was a pretty middle of the ground, meh overrated af movie. Not bad, just nothing special. I enjoyed watching it sure, but not something I have an inkling to return to anytime soon if ever. It was just ‘there’ for me.

First, I’ll say the good stuff. The visuals looked really pretty. Nobody was THAT out of character of the existing cast (save for the ending), which i feel weird to have to even mention it as a positive, but nothing really stood out to me as a defining moment for the little cast we had besides Goku’s “youre not a bad guy, i can tell” or w/e. SUPER SAIYAN 1 IS STILL GOAT. It looked soooo good in this movie i wish we couldve kept it the whole time instead of Blue. But i will say, Blue looked much better in this movie than the series. The darker-blue with the lighter blue eyes was a nice change from instead of the ugly bluish-green the series did. Also the aura looked better. Backgrounds like the ice area and even Planet Vegeta were amazing. Action was great too. little Bulla was cute. The OST i liked (the chanting really grew on me) and Blizzard is a banger i love that song. Oh and the aritisic license they took for the fusion scene with the reds and blues spiraling together was great

Anyway thats all the positives I have lmaoo

This film includes Minus and I already went in depth on why I hate Minus with a passion and why it’s the worst thing to come out of modern Dragon so yeah moving on. But the fact that they devoted screentime to Gokus backstory which ultimately served no purpose to the story of the film and couldve been used more valuably elsewhere.

I said the action was good, and it was, but it almost too good. At times it was so fast to tell that was going on and really lessened the impact for me. Like when they went into the other dimension or whatever, Gogeta went blue and Broly went LSSJ (idc if the name is different name, itll always be legendary SSJ to me lmao) so ast it was a blink and you miss it moment. like what? those moments shouldve been given even a little bit of focus.

Next the cast. Goku and Vegeta. AGAIN. snorefest. no Gohan, Piccolo is just there to show them the fusion, Goten and Trunks are still kids and look like babies (and Pilaf gang is with them which is another can of worms), no Android 17, who the series established as one of the top 4 fighters on Earth.

Do we get any of that? Nope. Just the two Blue and Bluer fucking again and again I. dont. care. anymore. Their dynamic is so boring and played out id rather watch paint dry. It was fun in Buu Saga, hell it was even fun in GT, but DBS constantly forcing this dynamic and Vegeta as the second Main Character needs to fucking STOOOP. Toei and Toriyama has no idea how to further Vegeta’s character because theyre stuck in this infinite loop.

Vegeta doesnt want to help Goku, he mentions Bulma and/or Trunks, Vegeta blushes, and then he decides to help. THAT HAPPENED LIKE SIX TIMES IN DBS ALONE. It happened in Buu saga as well, but it organically worked cause it was the first time but Bulma and Trunks were ALREADY DEAD/ABSORBED. The look on his face wasnt blushy or pouting for a gag, dude was legit shocked. I rag on Vegeta but he had some legit great moments in the early arcs and later parts of Buu Saga. Anyway im off track. They repeat that same exact character moment OVER AND OVER. cant tell you how many times we had “my Bulma, my bulla, my Trunks, my cabba” in the Tournament of Power alone, and this movie is no different.

DO SOMETHING ELSE FFS

Then we have Broly. ohhhhhh boooy Broly. if you can even call this version of him Broly. His backstory is kinda the same as original movie 8/Broly LSSJ, but its more tragic becuase according to most fans, if youre background is a sobstory, that equals better character. NO. sure it could, but that trope was so worn out so long ago I hate it. “waaa his life was bad, hes not a bad guy” bruh i dont care thats not Broly. just make an OC if you wanna do that. but nope. gotta use the marketing! (More on that later)

People like to criticize Z Broly as “he hates Goku cause he cried” or “all he says is Kakarot” which both are false. On the first point, Broly is a psychopath. He was stabbed as an infant and left to die along with Paragus cause he was too powerful. Then that same day Planet Vegeta explodes practically on top of them. The rest of his life hes basically either being controlled or on a rampage. So that one moment of peace is “ruined” by Goku in a sense cause he subconsciously associates that with Goku. On the second point, Broly was already mentally unstable and then nearly dying, getting caught in the explosion of a SECOND PLANET and then being frozen for seven years will fuck anyone up in the head. Z Broly in the original movie was sadistic af and he had a lot of memorable moments and lines that werent just screaming Kakarot, that Second Coming made him infamous for.

New Broly is legit a man-baby. People talk about old Broly having no personality and this new version having a deep character, but I dont see it. He acts like a child when hes with Cheelai and Lemo and then once the fighting starts he doesnt say a single word but yell. SOUND FAMILIAR?? But he gets a pass because the canon police says so right??? fuck off. New Broly is boring. Im tired of trying to make the Saiyans into ThEyRe noT aLl BaD sEe The SaIyAns ArE AcTuAlLy GoOd!!!11111 ugh i hate it. keep Broly a psycho and keep Bardock a prick. even that guy that went with Buzz Lightyear I mean Paragus was a sweet guy who couldnt fight because of course he was. At least they kept Paragus being a prick when he killed him. Tho his death was lame.

Cheelai’s overrated af. Shes just green bulma lmao. and the fact that they included the “big soft-spoken man gets mad and saves girl from drunk lowkey-rapey pervert” trope just had me roll my eyes like dude stop. Lemo was fine? Nothing against him but didnt do much for me either.

FUCK. FREEZA. i went over this one before too so ill be quick with this as well. I hate hate hate the fact that they brought him back not once but twice in DBS, but even worse that they left him alive to do whatever tf he wants including going back to mass murdering people and expanding his army again. Goku and Vegeta just LET HIM LIVE. Why tf did they go all out and attack Broly, but not Freeza? when one of them was fighting Broly th other easily could have taken out freeza but nope we need a token villain like Joker or Skeletor cause unoriginality. Even at the end, Gogeta does a full power blast to wipe Broly tf out, but when Freeza tries to kill Cheelai and Lemo (two innocent people, feelings on them aside) Gogeta basically just shakes his finger like nuh-uh! dont do that! and then he flies off. Just let this mfer die already im sick of seeing his ass. FUCK I HATE IT SO MUCH GFGFFGFGFGF

Lastly this movie is legitimately Dragon Ball Fanservice The Movie.

Gogeta vs Broly, which the games have been doing since fucking 2003, is the main point of this film. Theres no originality whatsoever. Minus is discount Father of Goku special, and then its a mashup of Broly LSSJ and Fusion Reborn (both of which are superior movies imo). This creatively banrkupt shell of a franchise cant think of anything new, so they legit remake an old movie, through in fusions because that sells like hotcakes, and make the animation pretty because thats all that matters.

Imo, this movie, like 99% of Super, is all flash and flair but no substance at all. At least this movie looked nice. unlike the show.

ok thats all i got lmao

#this got really long lol #longer than i intended #but thought of more stuff as i went #asks #cozymochi

i was born in OR but lived in CO for a while growing up cuz my dad was going to grad school there &... i’m not sure i’m dissapointed i didnt get into skiing or happy? we moved to the midwest when i was 6 and while ive probably lived on/off 1/3 of my life in OR at this point i never skied.

It seems like such a pretentious thing & idc but that is because the only ppl who ski in the MIDWEST (aka travel to fucking Aspen or some bullshit) are RICH-RICH people.

I mean there must be some artifical slopes here but idc about that. nobody in my good ‘ol midwestern uni knows to ski unless they are pretentious very white ppl

but also. the lowkey CO ski vibes seem amazing. im obviously involved in a ton of outdoor related activities and there is overlap between everything, i mean most ppl i know out west into ~the outdoors~ dabble in everything but pick 1-2 activities to be their top.

I guess mine would just be good old fashioned section hiking. ideally thru hiking but i dont have MONTHS for that. wish i could become more comfortable with rock climbing too but im still a relative newb. free climbing is amazing. no, sky diving would be my #1 but that isnt “outdoors” more just.... “adrenaline-junkie” bullshit. But i need money for that... im like 5 jumps away from my A license. I was so fucking close and the i broke my collar bone and then shit hit the fan and then i was focusing on other hobbies/work and now i just.. am broke. and its not like i have my own gear or anything and lessons cost a lot rn. idk if they’re even operating during the pandemic. i shouldve just forked over enough for a whole package ideally but that is like $2-3k & i was 18........ my school was accomdating & they liked me so i was doing discounted “individual lessons” w/ the plan on working up to 25 jumps. Now i may actually have to start from the ground up jfc so THAT is not going to happen until im 30 or something.

tomorrow i have my last exam and then im off to FL which will be... interesting. Ugh idk why im doing this. i have nothing to do the next few days but im stuck in my head feeling bored and lonely. i wont be lonely in FL but ill also be surrounded by ppl that bring out the worst in me. Im over people that think they should be respected for being moderately successful. ur lucky. There - i said it. They are lucky but instead they think they are just ~special~. i gotta keep shit quiet cuz this is my ~anonymous~ blog aka) i will be destroyed if any of my weird kinnie mentally ill bullshit is ~exposed~. Actually idk. That is a weird thought experiment. doesnt matter now that im not working for my friend anymore. Ive given up - hes become annoying and his band doesnt exist anymore. their hiatus is forever, just as they were gonna be moderately-successful themselves in the scheme of the local music scene/genre at least. Sighs. he could still be successful - im disenchanted by him but no lie he is VERY charismatic and VERY talented. and his bandmates are even more talented. i mean one is out in LA and i was never super close w/ him because we are both too awkward but hes like prodigy-talented so i should place my bets on him being successful. my closest friend, his charisma will only get him so far if he doesnt chill the fuck out and stop acting like an entitled brat. I said it. End rant.

When I first met Cloudera CEO Tom Reilly in 2015at the Intel Capital Summit, we were about to go on stage for a fireside chat to discuss among other things Intels massive investment in his company.

While on stage, the conversation inevitably turned to when the company might go public. As you might expect, he gave me the standard startup CEO answer. While Cloudera was certainly of sufficient size to IPO, they had just raised over a billion dollars and had plenty of cash. He was willing to wait until, in his words, when we feel its the right time.

Apparently it was yesterday when the company filed its S-1 paperwork with the SEC indicating its plans to go public. The announcement had been rumored for some time, and made sense, especially giventhe number of enterprise tech companies that have gone public (or announced their intentions to do so) recently.

As weve seen, in the first quarter of this year, enterprise tech IPOs are suddenly a hot commodity with Alteryx and MuleSoft already having gone out, and Cloudera joining Yext and Okta as the next ones up in the queue.

In spite of the name, Cloudera isnt really a cloud company, at least in the pure sense. Its a commercial product built on top of the open source Hadoop project, the one with the cute elephant for a mascot. In spite of the cuteness, Hadoop is very serious technology used to process massive amounts of data, which should come in increasingly handy in a world with increasing amounts data to deal with oftenreferred to in industry parlanceas big data.

Separating from the pack

The problem is that while Hadoop may be a powerful way to process thatdata, and it may be available as open source, it is not simple to use. Thats where companies like Cloudera and Hortonworks, which went public in 2014 come in. These companies, and others like MapR, are attempting to package Hadoop in a way that makes it more consumable for large organizations.

While Hortonworks came strong out of the gate after its IPO, it has not fared all as well since. After a high of over $27 in July, 2015, it was under $10 a shareas of the close on Friday.

But just because two or more companies share the same market doesnt mean they each share the same fate or are even completely comparable beyond both being Hadoop vendors.

Carl Olofson, an analyst at IDC, says there are some fundamental differences between the two companies. He describes Hortonworks as a pure open source company, one that packages, coordinates and manages that open source as a product for a subscription fee, and also sells support. He says the companys products are aimed mostly at big data technologists.

Cloudera is a bit different, he says. [It] offers packages that are mostly open source, but with tooling that is proprietary, and that are aimed at various classes of business problems. They sell to business managers. So their approach is different, and as a result, they have a higher percentage of their income derived from software than does Hortonworks, Olofson told TechCrunch.

The Intel connection

One of Clouderas chief investors was none other than Intel, which sank $740 million into the companyin a single investment in March, 2014, obviously seeing some serious potential to take such a substantial stake. And as you would expect, the S-1 revealed Intel and Cloudera have a special relationship and a deep partnership, and that too could give it additional investor credibility as it heads into the public markets.

Certainly Reilly thought so in our interview saying, While everyone focused on the dollars behind the investment that Intel made, what was so important to us was the partnership, and the value that Intel brings us as a partner goes way beyond the dollars they gave us. The S-1included multiple examples of the two companies working together including developing a way to speedup encryption at the chip level and launchingan open source cybersecurity projectcalled Apache Spot, a platform for advanced threat detection using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Clouderas has been around since 2008, and the market should appreciatethat longevitysays Olofson. Compared to others, Cloudera could be seen as a relatively mature player, with steady growth, a good market position and significant momentum, he said. While markets can be fickle, it could be that this is finally Clouderas moment.
