#im so sad bc i love my sequel trio actually

[madnesswithmadhu]

chat the madagascar/ahkj hyperfix is coming back so here are MY HOT, ULTIMATE TAKES🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (also I might remember things wrong so pls correct me if I do!!)

AS MUCH AS LITTLE ME LOVED THE 3RD MADAGASCAR MOVIE, I JUST HATE IT LORE WISE. LIKE CHANEL DUBOIS WAS ICONIC THO BUT THEY COULDVE MADE HER LIKE A POACHER AND LET THEM STAY IN THE WILD LIKE... WHY DID THE CIRCUS HAVE TO BE BROUGHT IN??? AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE WHOLE LOVE INTEREST THING (THAT CHEETAH GIRL, FORGOR HER NAME SORRY, AND THAT BEAR WHO'S NAME WAS SONYA I THINK IDK THATS HOW UNREMEMARBLE THEY WERE TO ME) LIKE IN MY OPINION THAT CHEETAH GIRL WAS JUST THERE FOR ALEX BC "OOOH LOVE INTEREST" WHICH SUCKS TBH BC SHE COULDVE BEEN COOL, BUT THEY KINDA DID WITH HER WHAT THEY DID WITH CLOVER AT THE END OF AHKJ, PURELY EXISTING FOR MALE CHARACTERS.

SPEAKING OF RHE 3RD MOVIE (I HAVE IMMENSE BEEF WITH IT SORRY) WTF WAS THAT SCENE WHERE MAURICE SMILED WHEN RHEY ALL THOUGHT JULIEN DIED??? LIKE HUH?...WHAT ABOUT TRUE BROMANCE?... I, MAURICE??? LIKE HUH. AND IT WASNT EVEN ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHERE ITS LIKE THEY SMILE FIRST FROM SHOCK AND THEN FREAK OUT BC THE CREATOR **CONFIRMED** IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT MAURICE WAS HAPPY HE DIED LIKE NO???? THOSE TWO ARE LIKE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE WHO BICKER BUT STILL LOVE EACHOTHER AND ARE JUST GRUMPY MOST OF THE TIME

I WISH WE COULDVE GOTTEN A MOVIE THAT FOCUSED ON THE LEMURS/MAYBE ANOTHER SERIES THATS ABOUT THE LEMUR TRIO RETURNING TO MADAGASCAR AND TRYING TO FIX EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG WHEN THEY WERE GONE, OR THEY COULD ACTUALLY EXPAND MORE ON THE WHOLE TRAVELLING CIRCUS IDEA WHICH COULD MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING

ALSO CLOVER IS A LESBIAN. SORRY NOT SORRY LIKE THE LEMUR TRIO LITERALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA MARRY A WOMAN, AND FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT, LIKE SHE DOESNT LIKE SAGE, SHE LIKES THE IDEA OF HIM BC SHE LOOKS LIKE THE GUY FROM HER NOVELS!!!!!! (Need someone to draw the lemur trio+maybe like Ted or whatever going to the mountain lemur kingdom and playing "good luck, babe!" From Chappel Roan to try and knock her out of the comphet. OR ILL DRAW IT MYSELF IDK)

WHY ARE WE OVERLOOKING MAURICE'S LORE?... LIKE SURE MORT'S LORE IS CWAZY BUT MAURICE IS LITERALLY LIKE A GOD TO A BUNCH OF SNAILS???? LIKE NO ONE HAS DEEPENED INTO THAT LORE AND IT MAKES ME SAD LOWKEY, NOT ONLY CUZ HES MY FAV AND HE IS TERIBBLY UNDERRATED SINCE PPL WANNA FOCUS ON KJ AND MORT MORE, BUT HE GENUINELY HAS LORE THAT IS SO INSANE, LIKE HE LOST BOTH HIS BIO PARENTS AND HIS ADOPTIVE PARENTS DUE TO FOOSSA'S; HE GOT BULLIED AS A KID; HE IS A IMMENSE PPL'S PLEASER; ETC ETC. LIKE HE'S SO COOL IM NOT BEING BIASED CUZ HES MY FAVE PLS

OVERALL: DREAMWORKS STOP MAKING FEMALE CHARACTERS ONLY EXIST FOR MALE ONES AND MAKE GOOD SEQUELS/PREQUELS THAT DONT CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER

THE MFS WHO MADE RHAT JULIEN ASSASIN JOKE IS DEAD TO ME TBH

PLS MAKE ANOTHER MADAGASCAR MEDIA SO THE FANDOM REVIVES

#SAVECLOVERFROMHERCOMPHET

PLS STOP IGNORING MAURICE, HE IS SILLY IN HIS OWN WAYS AND DOESNT HAVE TO HAVE A WEIRD KINK AROUND ANOTHER CHARACTER TO BE POPULAR, BC HE IS JUST AS OVER-THE-TOP AS THE OTHER CHARACTERS JUST IN HIS OWN WAY PLS😞😞

short review of g f

so sevil part 2 event!!!!! hoo boy this one was actually really surprising (in a good way). like honestly

so im just kinda gonna list things

-the new friend (galanthalus i think?) gosh he gave me the biggest turnaround. like his story started out with ??? narrator who is uneasily calm in a heckscape with gratuitous ultraviolence and 99.9 percent of the time in this game that means that ??? is going to be the stereotypical "ow the edge unhinged uncaring murderous nonhuman something from another world" (ie the imposter girl from the ninetales events, morgan, etc. you know the cringe gratuitous violence scenerey chewing and not in a good way villans that this game keeps having to try and stop ppl from liking them more than the protagonists but it never works). but then the turnaround reveal that it was just a kid who was trapped in the sword for being not human and had been tortured and overlooked by everyone for centuries just bc he suited their needs? the biggest turnaround. and that the ??? who was talking to him/answering his questions wasnt a condescending big bad but keral who stayed to keep him company out of kindness????? and that both her and krel kinda let him be their child they never had and want to let him go back and live in the world?????? bro......

anyways tldr galan was a very pleasant surprise writing wise and i support him. also he lowkey reminds me of idunn and i dig that so much

-the arc of the main trio! ofc it was very depressing but im glad they didnt go for an ending where "everyone survives everything is fine uwu!" bc i feel like that sort of thing, tho it could happen bc of how op the main cast is, it would make all their suffering and pain feel trivialized and thrown out, and itd make me hate the main cast more (they already made themselves dislikable enough imo, with them guilting sevil to stay towards the middle just bc they didnt want him to leave, with no thoughts abt how hed feel. and that being said i love that the reason he stayed was to help galan, not bc he was guilt tripped into it). like it is really sad what happened, esp to krel at the very end, but it did feel conclusive which was nice (please no sequel. this was a good ending. we dont need a sequel to ruin it, i am looking directly at the knights and perfetto events. and maybe a sideye at the robomi ones for the unnecessary prophecy stuff)

-the side character development! like despite the angst, it all felt very organic (with sevil's story already having that old timey gin tama-ey feel it all seemed to make sense in the setting and not come across as cringe or insensitive angst). esp bc we didnt know a lot abt the characters in the first event, as they werent playable and didnt appear that much (they didnt even get journal entries either smh). so hearing more abt their backstories made them feel a lot more fleshed out. it was sweet seeing them stay to help w galan also, i do wish they were playable tho but it does make sense theyd be npcs

-have not seen gacha sevils story but im hoping its good! itd easily put him with caro and main gacha sturm of characters id really want (not to mention limited studra too ofc)

-and ofc. from kisumiverse side, i feel like kisumi is trying to resist the urge to punch danchou and co. in the face the whole time, while trying to be supportive of sev. who, to be utterly fair, is so wrapped up in his problems he doesnt necessarily notice kisu until towards the end. kisu doesnt want him to apologise as she sees that it isnt his fault, just asks him to take care of himself, and he realizes that he has a genuine alive friend in kisumi. its just a fun "friends dealing with grief and loss and the cycle of grief together" story.

-and then theres also the ending trope which is actually like tooth rottingly cute. "my sister and brother in law died and left behind a child that i am raising alongside my best friend" for some like slice-of-life hallmark movie angst-with-a-happy-ending. like literally. i feel like the sevil + galan + kisumi (w the father daughter too bc theyre cool) could be the casts in some heartwarming family movie or something

anyways this event, easy 9/10. maybe even 10/10. like i dont think g f could have a better event. zodicas was eh (playable ragazzo was easily the best part), knights was really meh, dont talk to me abt the perfetto one, i honestly dont mind no robomi bc the last one had elements i dont care for, everything else was just really bad except the really middle of the road collab and the slightly not so bad but also not impactful one w the grimmir squad. but yea this event is easily the best that theyve had in the last few years

my thohts on episode ix

-i literally went wild when grandpappy sheevy said “the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural”. mostly because i memorized the darth plagueis monologue and it never paid off until now

-same with the “DEWIT” bit. thanks whoever included those 2 things for feeding me some unexpected prequel memes

-i really liked the trio dynamic, they weren’t that connected in the previous two sequel movies and them doing things together just adds to the star wars vibe

-ben’s death was actually really funny. he just kissed rey and then died immediately after and i know im supposed to feel sad but idk theres just something about how it was shot that makes it hilarious?? my brother actually laughed out loud

-speaking of which. i didnt know i hated reyl0 so much until watching this movie and having the visceral reaction i did towards the kiss

-i didnt rlly like the whole zorii thing, it seems like she was just there to provide a not-love interest for poe and i wish her entire character didnt basically revolve around him. not that i have anything against poe (i actually rlly like him) but she had a lot of potential 

-70% of the time when the gang was on exegol i physically could not look at the screen bc it was flashing too much

-does palpatine want to kill rey or not? it’s all very unclear

final verdict: wasn’t too good imo but did have its moments and i can finally understand why people like it. i enjoyed it way more than i expected (which isn’t saying much but still). 5/10

not sure anyone gives a fuck about what i think about star wars but i'm emo so SPOILERS AHEAD

[[MORE]]

jj abrams is a great director and i'm glad he's back for ep 9. did some wack shit that i cannot forgive him for but better than r**n j*hns*n

the pacing in this movie was so bad. like i'm pretty sure each scene was a minute average. there were no stakes to the mission so it was hard to care. they're lucky i love the trio so much

its so clear they didnt have a roadmap for this trilogy and that was the biggest issue with this movie. the pacing was so bad bc jj abrams was having to pick up the mess that episode 8 was

REY WAS SO OVERPOWERED IT WAS INSANE. YES SHES A PALPATINE BUT HOLY SHIT

super confirmed jedi leia and her training rey was amazing. im very happy

also jodie comer playing rey's mom was wonderful

FORCE SENSITIVE FIIIIIINNNNNN I LOVE MY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HES SO GOOD. WASTED AS HELL BUT GOD I LOVE FINN AND I NEED HIM TO BE A JEDI SO BAD. REY TRAIN HIM??????

poe as a drug dealer was dumb as fuck and i hate how overly snarky he is. he deserved better.

jannah was amazing!!!!! im so glad finn found a fellow ex-stormtrooper and that arc really needed some more exploration bc i feel like the whole themes of "your family is more than blood" and overcoming darkness within/around you wouldve been a lot more poignant.

on that note i hated everything about palpatine and all his dialogue was exposition bullshit. a waste. wack

rey's struggle was super interesting and a highlight (imo) but the palpatine and kyle ron garbage dragged it down for me

kyle ron still sucks. the kiss made me want to die. it didnt need to happen. he was abusive and manipulative and rey deserved better. as a wholeass lesbian.

but i love the "good conquers evil" shit so him returning to the jedi was really cool actually. i liked it a lot. despite it being kyle ron. yes i will call him that it is the only name. fuck kyle ron. glad hes dead

god i fucking hate kyle ron

rey's lightsaber was cool!!!! its orange????

there was a lot of fan service and throwbacks that didnt need to happen but again thats the shitty narrative and screenplay. like really really really bad.

the movie was better than i thought but i'm really sad that the last skywalker movie is ending like this. i wish the sequel trilogy had been so much better. tfa was so good and i miss the days when it came out :(

anyway yes these are my thoughts. jedi finn or die. this cast deserved better
