Clearing Up Misconceptions on the S5 Trailer

LEGO has never released a trailer before

I can see where this is coming from but it isn't true.

Yes, S4 was shadow dropped, the trailer and poster only came out after it was released but that doesn't go for every season.

"The Emperors Wrath" was first advertised with a literal TikTok edit, S1 and 3 both got trailers about a month before they were released in China, and the "Embrace Your Destiny" trailer was even edited to remove spoilers. 

The trailer was leaked/unofficially released

Yes, the trailer hasn't been officially released on YouTube but that's because Monkie Kid trailers are never officially uploaded to YouTube. LMK is mainly meant for a Chinese audience, therefore advertising is mostly done on Chinese social media.

Every other trailer has been released on BillBilli, Weibo, or Douyin, which is where the Season 5 trailer was dropped. These are LEGO’s official verified accounts. 

Aside from personal accounts from artists working on the show or sets there is no official English LMK account to do promotional work or "officially release" anything.

LEGO dropped Flying Bark because they unionized

Once again, I see where people are coming from but this probably isn't true because WildBrain is also unionized. They've been unionized longer than Flying Bark has. Flying Bark joined the union February 2024 while WildBrain unionized with the Canadian Animation Guild in Fall 2023.

This is not me saying there couldn't have been crunch or mistreatment, just that the studio change probably wasn't because of Flying Bark unionizing. The previous series director cites scheduling and "logistical factors" as the reason for the break up.

I was rewatching mouthwashing, and I ended up thinking of the different reactions that Curly and Jimmy had in doing their tasks. How during the scene of Anya evaluating Jimmy and showing dread towards the idea of doing his evaluation, Curly was the one that offered to take it off her hands. He had no issue with adding more to his plate, because he knew - or well, thought, he knew that Jimmy wasn't going to "bullshit" with him since he's known him for a long time. When Anya hands Curly a note from Swansea, Curly goes to check out what the issue is and he takes care of it without a complaint, the only "complaint" he has is how this incident could have damaged the pods. Which is reasonable, those pods are their only way to be saved if anything tragic happens on the ship. However, in comparison to Jimmy being asked to do things, he's passive-aggressive about it. When Anya asks Jimmy if he could help her out with Curly's painkillers, he tells her that people should be worth their titles, specifically using her title as a nurse when she asked him for help and then when she says forget it, since he made her feel insecure, he still goes "Oh no, I'LL take care of it" as if he was doing a chore, a favor for her. Then, there's that part where he blows up at her for things that she didn't even ask him to do - more so the others asked him about it, like the code scanner, him deciding he needed to find the axe for the foam, and then, there's the medicine part (which when she does ask, and she reconsiders - going to do it herself, he takes that away from her). Jimmy complains about the tasks he has to do and he treats it like a big issue, a "woes me" that he has to do this and that - wanting the praise of the capital without actually doing any work. While Curly doesn't complain about it, in fact, he even mentions that he's aware of how well he is doing at his job as a Captain during that cockpit scene with him and Jimmy. If Jimmy only had to do a small amount of tasks to get irritated and annoyed at being captain, while Curly didn't which I feel like encapsulates their personalities. Curly understands what he's doing is a job, it's a responsibility, why would he complain at any point for doing what he's suppose too? Why would he be upset at people asking him to do tasks? While Jimmy on the other hand, isn't used to it at all and it's different to what he's had before and he's realizing that he doesn't actually like doing the work he has too. I just wanted to ramble about it even if it seemed kind of obvious xd

It’s obvious but it is a thing people miss or understate when trying to find parallels in Curly’s and Jimmy’s relationship/personalities.

Like the way people portray it as neither taking responsibility when it is almost split down the middle of Curly taking responsibilities and faults that shouldn’t be his and making himself unequipped to handle the ones that are while Jimmy refuses to handle the responsibilities he has because he wasn’t expecting the work that comes with them.

Not a lot to say but people forget that another thing the game comments on is prioritization of issues and responsibilities and how the guys fail at it in one way or another in the situation.

see I have theories in regards to What The Fuck Is Wrong With Whit Young but they aren't the ones involving him being the mastermind or traitor. they're to do with whatever is going on with his mother

i know this has been said 473773474833 times by the kavetham/haikaveh shippers and probably even nonshippers, but i'll say it again. I finally finished the genshin summer event and did the little after quest in sumeru and.....every time kaveh is sneaking around trying not to be noticed coming out of alhaithams house it's just such a gay vibe. he's basically screaming "I can't be caught being gay in a homophobic society!" even if that's not what the game writers are *actually* saying. that's just how it comes off and they can't make it come off any other way. with hoyo's gay history, it makes me wonder if it's on purpose and all a cover-up to have a technically different reason for it so they can get away with it lmao but we will never know.

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

okay so here's something ae'm genuinely curious about-

-when talking about, for example, the megalodon, a lot folks say stuff like 'proof the megalodon exists'

-a lot of extinct animals are apparently considered cryptids by some

so where's the line drawn

cause for voie it's like. if you've got a sauropod in your background, yeah, you can probably call that a cryptid. if you've got an ivory-billed woodpecker flying around, that's not a cryptid. it's just not. maybe a long time from now, but certainly not right now

the megalodon thing is especially interesting for us, just because with the cryptid thing we at least kinda see why some folks might consider any extinct animal that's found alive a cryptid, but ae genuinely don't know why folks say 'proof the megalodon exists'

we know it exists. we have fossils of its jaws and teeth and other evidence it existed. like, yeah, it's not around anymore, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. are we missing something. it feels like we're missing something. are we overthinking this too much. do other folks not think this hard about stuff like that

'Trapped in the end!' said Sam bitterly, his anger rising again above weariness and despair. 'Gnats in a net. May the curse of Faramir bite that Gollum and bite him quick!' 'That would not help us now,' said Frodo.

Sword in hand Sam went after him. For the moment he had forgotten everything else but the red fury in his brain and the desire to kill Gollum. But before he could overtake him, Gollum was gone. Then as the dark hole stood before him and the stench came out to meet him, like a clap of thunder the thought of Frodo and the monster smote upon Sam's mind.

Now he tried to find strength to tear himself away and go on a lonely journey – for vengeance. If once he could go, his anger would bear him down all the roads of the world, pursuing, until he had him at last: Gollum. Then Gollum would die in a corner. But that was not what he had set out to do. It would not be worth while to leave his master for that. It would not bring him back. Nothing would.

[pericky; a look into ricky's head during their meeting.]

---

"I'm glad you came, I wasn't sure you would." The wine pours, the sound of it drowning out the missing word in that sentence: back.

Of course, is the response, and the part of Ricky that's spent twenty years tearing itself apart to understand why vibrates with relief. It doesn't matter anymore. Of course, of course, he thinks giddily along with the words. He never needed to wonder why Pericles wasn't coming back in the first place; he was always going to.

I'm happy you invited me, and of course he thinks again. A lifetime of pretending he wasn't always going to either falls away. However harsh and lonely the world has been, all's right with it again; and the shy voice of the boy inside him that he's tried so hard to kill says, so quietly, I missed you.

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill
