No hate to anyone this is all fiction

Face Claim- Jenna Ortega

{Reader's POV}

Jimin and I met at an award show back in 2017. I had just started acting in shows away from Disney and this was my first gig as an MC at a major award show. I had the honour of presenting an award to BTS. That's how we became friends and the eventually started dating.

Dating Jimin was like a fairytale, he was my prince charming. He would buy me flowers, plan intricate and elaborate dates. Being with him felt like I was on cloud nine sometimes and other time, I felt like complete and utter crap. There would be time when Jimin would completely ignore me, air all my calls and leave my messages on delivered. In those times, I wished I could fly to him and ask what's up? I did do that a few times and those were the times I had the biggest fights with him. I thought we would break up whenever we fought like that, but he would always apologise and his sweet words and voice would lull me back into a sense of security I never had.

Jimin was busy prepare for stuff before he enlist, recording 2 albums and the content to go with it kept him busy. As a kind gesture, I sent him coffee trucks and on one of his music video shoots, I even went to see him. But he didn't look happy to see me. He dragged me into his dressing room, "How can you be so careless?" he snarked. "I wasn't. I'm here as a friend to see you" I mumbled. "Friend? ha, every one knows a girl and a guy can't be friends. Especially if you pull the shit you just did" he almost shouted. "I'm sorry. I thought you would be tired and wanted to cheer you up" I muttered. "Y/N, Jagiya, I'm tired of how you behave sometimes. Grow up, you know how the Korean industry is, why do you want me to fail?" Jimin asked. "I don't" I said as tears started to fall. "Don't start this now, I didn't say anything and you're crying" Jimin sighed exasperated running a hand through his perfectly styled hair. "Look what you made me do, I have to have my hair done again" Jimin huffed. "I'm sorry. I'll do better" I begged. "You can't. If you had to you would've by now" Jimin chuckled. "I thought you'd mature by now but I was wrong. You're too stupid. What if we get caught? Then what?" he asked. "You can just tell them we're dating" I croaked out swallowing the lump in my throat. "I don't think you get it. In the west, people date and whatever, it's not like that here. I have a reputation to withhold." he sighed. "Am I not good enough?" I cried out. "No, you are too immature for me" Jimin said.

"We're done. I can't deal with a dating scandal right now" he said calling his hair dresser. I was stood there shocked while Jimin got ready for the next shot. I had tears streaming down my cheeks, my eyes were red as I rubbed them trying to stop crying. "You are an asshole, Park Jimin. I hope you rot in misery of your own making" screamed leaving his dressing room

Ep. 15 "The Cavalry Has Arrived" Review

To say that I am happy is an understatement. I am beyond satisfied with the finale of TBB. For me, it was perfect and I cried several times. This was about a family. Of course, there are small things I would've liked to see more of, but that's more nitpicking. I watched the finale twice today and I am happy. I guess if I had to say anything, it's that I wanted more. I love these characters and I could spend hours with them.

From a more constructive criticism side (just to get it out of the way): I definitely think the writers needed more time overall with this show. There are corners that had to be cut and you can see it. The pacing is rushed at times. While I'm still happy with the final result, you can tell it really needed more time for character moments. I don't necessarily blame the writers; I blame Disney for not giving them more time. Jen and Brad are very capable of both action and character depth, but it's clear they didn't have the time for both.

On another note, the music and animation were phenomenal. The rain animation looked so real to me, especially when dripping off of the characters. Everything was stunning. And the music, like my gosh. The Kiners popped off here. Crosshair's theme and Omega's theme are two absolutely beautiful pieces of music and I really enjoyed hearing them throughout the episode. And my gosh, tension during the final stand against Hemlock was perfect. The music was incredible and I rewatch that sequence because of it (and other things).

Spoiler time; you know the drill 😎 This will be long, fair warning.

Crosshair's conversation with Wrecker and Hunter was truly heartbreaking. You can hear the guilt in his voice, especially when he admits he feels like he deserves to 'Plan 99' himself. To hear Crosshair admit that hurt. His past mistakes weigh heavily on him. However, I loved that Hunter stepped up and told him no. Family sticks together no matter what. It's a far cry from S1, where Hunter and Cross both left each other. But now, nothing will split their little family up. Crosshair's theme playing over that whole sequence had me in shambles.

The whole fight sequences with the operatives was also really well done. I can't imagine what would've happened if Hemlock managed to condition the boys. Omega got Cross out at the right time; if he'd stay'd there a few weeks longer, then Hemlock would've definitely adjusted the conditioning machine in time to fully break him. Luckily, Crosshair avoided that fate. Still, to know that he suffered in that machine for 5 months is heartbreaking. The operatives are true killing machines, devoid of life.

I can't believe I live in a world where Crosshair got Jaime Lannister'd. AND IM A HARDCORE JAIME STAN. This wasn't on my 2024 bingo card! I will say though, I can see why some people personally don't agree with it as a writing decision. Cutting off his had doesn't magically "fix" anything; it honestly will just add to his trauma. But at the same time, I love whump and there is symbolism of Crosshair being truly free. He is now just Crosshair and that's enough.

Omega really learned from the best, didn't she? Seeing her help the other kids and free the Zillo was epic. I got so many Ezra vibes from her as she slipped in and out of the vents of Tantiss. The faith and trust she has in her brothers is truly heartwarming. And it makes the epilogue feel even sweeter. Omega knows they raised her well and she can take care of herself because of that. She's grown so much since that first time seeing her on Kamino. It feels like looking in a mirror sometimes, at least for me. I see a lot of my life reflected in her, just like I do with Crosshair. It hits home.

The final standoff with Hemlock was definitely my favorite part outside the ending. I loved the music, the animation, and seeing Hunter and Crosshair work together. There is such trust between the brothers and Omega. Despite Crosshair's worries, there is no moment that Hunter doubts Crosshair's abilities. Hunter knows Cross will make it. He assures Cross that Omega also trusts her brother's abilities. And the hug after Hemlock died was so beautiful. I love that Omega hugged Crosshair first; he needed that.

Hemlock's demise was perfect. I kept joking that I just wanted him to fall off of Tantiss because it would be so pathetic. And guess what? He did fall off of Tantiss (after getting shot before hand).

Echo of course was awesome! Loved how he commented that he knew Omega was the one to release the Zillo. I also loved how he did get to fulfill his wish of freeing the clones and even lead them into battle against the operatives. The last domino still stands and I couldn't be happier. (Also glad that Emerie lived. She deserved it after realizing how messed up everything was).

Nala Se and Rampart were also handled well. Rampart never changed and I'm glad he didn't. Some people are just not nice, even after getting served humble juice. Meanwhile, I will cut Nala Se some slack. I will never forget Fives. However, she did save Omega so there's that. And she took out Rampart.

Overall, I'm just really glad that everyone made it out in the end. I would've been fine with a sacrifice, but the Batch was constantly being forcibly split apart, I'm glad that they now get a break and can be family. (Tech lives on in all their hearts). They will be ok and they know that. TBB was my comfort show and seeing that final shot of the Batch reminded me that I will be ok. Stuff happens, but somehow, things will work themselves out.

And the epilogue! I wish we got old man Crosshair and Wrecker (maybe one day we will), but it makes sense why it was only Hunter and Omega. He's her primary father figure and their relationship has been one of the driving forces of the show. For so long, Hunter has been very protective Omega, almost going too far at times. However, he learns to let her go and trusts that she will be ok. He is at peace knowing he, Wrecker, and Crosshair (and Tech + Echo) raised her well. It reminded me so much of my own experiences with my parents and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect epilogue. It also hit hard seeing Omega as an adult; she was so tiny in the beginning.

Anyways, that was a long review. I am overall thrilled with the final and I'm glad everything wrapped up neatly. I'm sure we will see Wolffe, Cody, and Rex in another project; their story isn't over. But Clone Force 99's is. They struggled so much and are now finally able to rest. The epilogue confirms that Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair got to grow old and watch their kid grow up. For me, there's such a beauty to that. In a galaxy that is riddled by war and darkness, there is hope for a better future. The Bad Batch started as a group of "defective" clones, but in the end, they became something so much more: a family. And in my eyes, that is the perfect ending.

2024 Watch Thread Part 4

Part 3: https://www.tumblr.com/alolanroy/747704931576889344/2024-watch-thread-part-3?source=share

Ultraman Rising: On my second watch I kept a closer eye on it. The detail and moments of non-diegesis pass by in a blink, but your brain picks up on the emotions it wants you to experience. This movie has a certain painterly feel and strong emotional core the way Pixar used to. It uses whatever elements from Ultraman feel relevant to the story being told and the end result is totally delightful. I'm glad Ultraman got a spider-verse. 9/10

Overman King Gainer: Charming as hell, but I can't help but feel it never reached its full potential. I appreciate that it never really exposits, but I can't help but feel like a few clearer explanations or stakes might have made me more invested. There are a few episodes of true Tomino-isms (both of his more silly and serious style). The start and end are charming, but I can't help but wish it picked up the pace a little. Great character design, some fun dialogue and cute animation. 7/10

Game Changer Season 6: I think I've neglected to add Dropout series to this list prior to this...oops. Some real all timers this season. Personal favorites are Bingo and Pencils Down. The Ratfish didn't blow me away, but I still appreciate parodying more contemporary game show formats. 8/10

Power Dolls: I have no context for this series other than attempting the first level of the original game. I was surprised to see that the first episode attempts to adapt that level. The issue is that there doesn't seem to be much to work with here. The thin melodrama makes these gorgeous women seem skin-deep. Nothing groundbreaking here as far as OVAs go. 5/10

Doctor Who Series 14: Not all the episodes were created equally in my eyes, but overall these were a lot of fun. And that's what I'm glad the series has again: Fun. The lust for life is infectious. I'd be fine with more contained (and budgeted) adventures in subsequent seasons (with longer episode counts). All the culture warriors out there campaigning about it got what they deserve. I'm hardly suprised the guy who used to prance around with celery printed to a rainbow jacket is getting fruity. But it is a modern Disney move to take credit of an on-screen gay kiss 20 years late. I do think these Chaos gods felt a little...manageable in terms of how quickly they were dispatched through. 7/10

Shark Side of the Moon: It starts out strong with a sequence in the soviet union right out of a fallout game, but utterly dissolves into what you should expect form an Asylum movie. Baffling that the CGI shark monsters got so ugly. I wonder if it was made by someone else? Who was that woman with a terrible face-lift who just ollied out of the movie? -4/10

Halo Nightfall: The only thing more laughable than the CGI Elite walking around like bigfoot is that 343i thought this was enough to set up Locke as a Master Chief killer. -3/10

Outlander (2008): Society just wasn't ready for this movie. I looked at contemporary reviews in horror. Maybe it gave a bad impression in the first few minutes, but this movie gets better the longer it goes on. The production values and talent on display elevate such a shlocky premise. My watch group was hooting and hollering. 8.5/10

Gunparade March: Sauceless. I dropped it after the 3 episode rule and scrubbed a few episodes after that. As someone who doesn't throw in for slice of life, this had nothing for me. 2/10

Overlord: For what is ultimately a bunch of guys running around a house in tactical gear...pretty fun. 5/10

Kamen Rider Gotchard: Now that the first images of the next rider are out, I think I can safely say that I dropped this. There was a bit of a spark at the beginning, but you could really feel the show get jerked around by bad toy sales and several course corrections. It never felt like it had a direction or anything more compelling than a few sweet two-parters that never returned. Ultimately this show is a result of the identity crisis of trying to sell blind bags for trading cards with no card game and bending over backwards to not normalize that this market has mostly become gambling. 5/10

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D S1: Coming back to this in the new era of bad Disney+ Marvel shows is like drinking cool water after a long day in the sun. If you can ignore the Wheden-ass dialogue, the pacing and scripting of the show's arcs is iron-clad. Major joints for letting continuity with the MCU annihilate the premise of the show and taking it in stride. 7.5/10

Megaman X Dive Offline:

Weaknesses of a gatcha game: Irritating characters and no real story, 3D graphics meant for older smartphones, overreliance on timers, loads of hard to navigate menus, progression systems that don't make sense unless you've played since the start.

Surely, the cool characters and tight gameplay of Megaman X will transfer over to ... oh, they seem to have almost no gameplay. It's an Isekai?

Just look up a YouTube video of all the units. You'll have a better time than I did. Instant Steam return. 0/10

Destiny 2 The Final Shape: While the story isn't good, the way it is conveyed is. Lots of watching people talk about emotion beats the player is already aware of isn't exactly compelling. Neither is a campaign which the player isn't advancing with standard destiny gameplay. I can think of 5 strikes with better narrative momentum off the top of my head. The environment is cool, and I like the witness's presence, though they didn't do much antagonizing for an antagonist. Any sense of momentum was killed by the Cayde and Crow Screeb adventure which is required before the final battle. Was the final battle amazing? Yes. Did it make me realize this might be the first good campaign ending in like 5 years? Yes. I don't think it really gave me the catharsis I was hoping for after 10 years of addiction. 5/10

The Screaming Skull: I wonder if anyone was actually scared by this in 1959. The only screaming we did was pretending to be scared and then breaking into hysterical laughter for the first half. Then we just got bored. -4/10

Versus: Cool dudes doing gunkata in an abandoned warehouse? Rad. Cool dudes doing gunkata in a forest...Eh. 5/10

Return to Treasure Island 1988: Points for good cartooning. Docked points for not having much of a throughline to hang them on. It gets old real quick. -4/10

Agents of Sheild S2: I wasn't a fan of the tone shift this season. The overreliance on suspicion, infighting and vaguing about loyalty got really old in the second half, especially as the successive overreactions strained credulity. It hit a point where I stopped liking most of the cast. Usually this is a death knell for me, but it stuck the landing. As usual Kyle Maclachlan steals the show. 6/10

Space Jam 2: A few Looney Tunes laughs can't balance out the thick malaise of committee brand synergy. I can't tell if the anti-executive/AI/crossover story is trying to say something considering how hard the movie bends over backwards to POINT AT BRAND. The acting was also noticeably bad. Like late 2010s Disney channel bad. -6/10

The Super Master AKA Zombie Rivals: While ostensibly a recut of Zombie Vs Ninja, it makes up for the loss of hilariously baffling inter-asian racism with cutting in random white people. It feels closer to anything Kung-Pow was deriving from, while also a Rick and Morty interdimensional cable gag. I think we died every time the announcer says ZODIAC AMERICA THE SUPER MASTER. -7.5/10

Fullmetal Alchemist 2017: On a second watching, the wigs are worse and the decisionmaking is even more confusing. 4/10

The Green Goblin's Last Stand: They...kinda ate with this one. I'm kinda at a loss if I should rate this based off of the moments it is surprisingly effective or the general silly factor... +6 or -7/10

Star Trek Prodigy S2-1: I'm breaking these up because I can tell this was intended to not come out all at once - First half was kinda bad. I like the strong mystery and time travel problem they have to solve, and I think they succeed better than the seasons of STD or SNW, but the fact that these children are never not morons brings it down. In S1 it was dramatic irony when the abused runaways didn't trust Star Fleet and led to miscommunication. Now it's just annoying. It also broke my TV. 4/10

Star Trek Prodigy S2-1: I felt whimsey when Chakotay taught the kids how levers worked and started sailing the protostar with stick and rudder. It felt earnest and explorative. The stakes and battles felt weighty and the technobabble was consistent. WESLEY IS BACK AND IT RULES??? However, I can't help but feel lousy when the series ends with 1000 Pearl Harbors and a hard end to Star Fleet's golden age. I went to sleep pissed off that Picard managed to somehow curb-stomp a series of years after it ended. Are we going to have to see Boimler mope after Star Fleet makes space adventures against policy? 7/10 -> 4/10 if you factor in the ending. It has never been more Joever.

Skyrim mod - Nebarra: As fun as the concept is, the quests were utterly broken for me. I had to force a lot to happen with console and it really took me out of it. 6/10

Agents of Shield S3: It's funny how Disney kept patting itself on the back so loudly over an unnamed side character implying a dead gay partner in Endgame when ABC had an openly gay latino recurring character who had some really fun moments back in like 2016. The final lap was good, but the serialization is stretching thin, but not as badly as last season.

Agents of Shield S4:

Arc 1: Ghost rider is so fucking cool. I would've been all for a version of this show where disparate characters from the marvel comics just show up like this. Amazing how well the CG holds up. Easily better than the modern movies

Arc 2: I now remember why my family dropped the show at this point. It goes on for way too long, and it feels like it takes place in only two locations

Arc 3: Fun in concept, but I can't help but feel this is a really backwards way to do a maybe 3 episode mirror universe arc.

Overall I'm glad I watched it, but I can feel the final shift to full serialization 6/10

Agents of Shield S5: This is just a different show, and I am realized I was completely checked out a few episodes in. 3/10

Iron Sky: I was expecting to laugh a lot more, this type of zany nonsense is usually way up my alley. I think it could've pushed a little harder and tightened up the digression once the movie gets back to earth. The biggest laugh of the evening was the gag with the bottle of de-albinizer. -7/10

Groom Lake: I was sold on William Shatner Tokusatsu. The movie works well as a comedy of errors as the protagonists have just the most ridiculously bad vacation. I thought for a moment it might have been cooking with the rattlesnake at the beginning perhaps setting up a parallel with extra terrestrial life, but I'm not sure I trust the movie to take thematic swings like that. If anything, it felt like watching someone play a Bathesda style RPG or a Quantic Dream game with some weird characters and strange moral choices. -6/10

Ghostbusters: On rewatch, I see why this movie ends up appealing to a lot of right wingers in their 40s-50s...the small business angle, hating the EPA. My beloved groaned so loudly at the kiss at the end. Despite everything, it is still a classic. 7/10
