I went to the antipolin blog on here and was shocked at how much hate there was out there for both the actors and characters. Jesus, people are just mmmmeeeeaaannnnn and I’m shocked. But they also did have some anon sources that ended up being correct on stuff, so it is all just weird.
Thoughts on the umbrella academy season four? If you don’t mind me asking.
whoever was in charge of the audio mixing for this season needs to be BARRED from ever working in the industry again. anyways completely bullshit season through and through. i KIND of liked the five/lila plot and that’s about it… even that was very poorly done imo. what was the overall message the show was even trying to send??? that love means nothing??? nothing was even really explained in the end??? how does undoing marigold in ONE timeline undo everything??? poorly executed poorly logicked and entirely nonsensical. perhaps one of the most egregious cases of character assassination i have ever witnessed. boring bad and borderline unwatchable.
bestie dont go down that rabbit hole, be more chill is awful /lh
in all seriousness, it's a sci-fi musical! it surrounds jeremy heere's mission to not get ridiculed for existing/maybe get with the girl he likes, christine, via a supercomputer implant in his brain telling him how o be cooler - or, in the words of the musical, be more chill. in the words of @rebuke-me, it's like boxed mac and cheese: it's not good, but it's 'tasty" (fun)
but also god does this have the most misogynistic fandom ever.
not the first person to say this but the main thing for female villains when it comes to thriving to make them more multifaceted and dimensional and empathetic for an audience being “but she loved her children… but she wouldve done everything for her children…” drives me up the fucking wall. the men do not get this same treatment at all. there is so fucking much other shit you can do to make these characters sympathetic
made a post a while back on how javert's suicide is often poorly portrayed in film adaptations to the point of accidental comedy, and how the 1978 movie in particular is the most unhinged example. audio warning for a loud trumpet blast, don't turn up your volume
