#not that shes a bad actor but she doesnt fit at all and is also totally implausible as a younger charlize theron

[vampyroteuthid]

they need to come up with actors besides timothy anya florence and zendaya i am tired of seeing their faces sorry

[sonknuxadow]

been seeing a lot of talk about how bad a lot of the popular picks for movie shadows voice actor are recently and thats true but does anybody remember when people were saying tom holland should voice tails . horrible

[ganondoodle]

so, doing this as an extra post bc i dont want to spam op nor invite more disaster into their post (sorry)

(i get annoyed, i get frustrated, but i rarely get pissed off, so if this sounds aggressive to you, it is; i have had enough of arguing with people -even if most of that arguing has happened on twitter-)

someone had replied (and later apparently deleted) something along the lines of "well zelda wanted to restore hyrule at the end of botw and what is so bad about ganondorf always being the bad guy in the way that he is?"

so first off, while i know hyrule and KINGDOM of hyrule is often used as an equally interchangeable word to refer to the world there, i dont think she meant the kingdom or its or its monarchy when she said that (does she? i dont have the end in my head rn and pretty sure its a lil different than english anyway) and much more the LAND of hyrule, its still in shambles even if people have found ways to live with it- that is an interpretation of me mostly, you can think what you want in that regard idc

secondly .... im not gonna get into that rant bc you cannot be seriosuly asking what is bad about how ganondorf is presented, treated in the games (espeically in totk) and his role and "writing" (oh geez i dont know maybe all the racism and stereotypes?? also, frankly boring ass writing, if your villain can be replaced by a cloud of toxic goo incapable of speech and nothing would change except saving money for voice actors that dont fit the role that is not a great look- hes never gotten much but totk is a new low)

then theres this reply

astro-shark3113 replied: "You're kidding right? If she cared about reinstating the monarchy then why is the castle still in disrepair after five years? Why does she become a teacher and live in a cottage with her boyfriend instead of taking on duties as princess? She clearly wants to help people and be a leader but she can do that without wanting to be a Queen. Please be real"

i am not kidding and i AM being real, i think you need to look at the game without your rose tinted glasses for a second; the castle is still in ruin? what the hell do you expect, theres no soldiers and very few servants left, repairing anything is quite impossible in that time and frankly not a priority (not proof of her not caring lol) also there is a plan for it at the very least given the camps with the hyrule crest all over it in the ruins of castle town- we dont SEE her as a teacher, or living a "normal" life, that happens in between the game, its flavor text, what HAPPENS in the game is her being taught a lessson on who she needs to be and what hyrule needs to be (pretty in your face too, she gets sent to paradise past of the "first" king that is some supposedly godly thing from the HEAVENS and watches him and his queen die at the hands of the eviiil guy, the last scene in the game mimics perfectly the scene where everyone that god king got under his rule swears undying loyalty to her ffs); she does live in that house, but what other option is there, set up camp in the collapsing throne room all alone?? nigh everyone from that time is long dead and the only one she actually knows is link who happens to have a house (bc impa doesnt care i guess idk), with her ""boyfriend"" is also interesting, a "boyfriend" that apparently is locked in the basement, lives in the woods or straight up dematerlializes when theres no big bad in need of stabbing bc why the hell does no one fucking know him in hateno??? not even the kids that come to the house EVERY SINGLE DAY?? and taking on duties as a princess, she very much does? just bc she doesnt get physically carried around in a castle doesnt mean she isnt doing royal stuff (also, again, that happens BETWEEN the games, not actually in totk), she still sees herself as the princess, everyone calls her that, she herself calls herself that (if the memorial stones are anything to go by) and everyone listens to the most overtly stupid and nonsensical stuff that zelda puppet says (even her friends follow that order without even asking back???) after over 100 years of there not being a kingdom as such its pretty weird how everyone immediately, even the ones not alive for the calamity event, snaps into blindly following her orders

"she can still lead without being a queen", did we play the same game?? totk? TEARS of the KINGDOM?? (its zeldas tears, she IS the kingdom) that game?? the game couldnt be more directly telling you that its whole point is that royal family holy and good and how much everyone has to sacrifice to uphold the holy kingdom bc its the only thing that keeps evil man from overtaking it!! including turnign herself into a farmable, glorified stone pedestal for the entirety of the actual game and then that sacrifice not meanign shit bc she just gets deus ex machina'd back (i didnt need her to stay a dragon, though it would have been the better choice if she still didnt get an active part in the game i would kill for her to have been a capable companion instead of the stupid ghost sages, and you dont even get to actually do anything for it, it just happens), not even the nuclear pebble is lost, how great! she and everyone else that is a leader of their people has a nuclear pebble now!! they will not let a bad evil man be a threat ever again!! like the point to bring her back in that utterly unsatisfying way is that otherwise the royal line wouldnt exist anymore, its a blessing of her ancient ancestors!! woohooo!!

and the thing is, i LIKE botw zelda, i liked her character, that she wasnt the typically maiden princessy type, her struggle (even if i find the way she unlocked her powers lame), i do NOT like totk zelda, after the intro of the game she is a princessy maiden standing prettily at the side of the god king that rules the only thing keeping evil at bay, the level of how much totk disrespects her makes me mad on her behalf but i have ranted about that alone enough as well

and with this i am DONE talking about this game, i have ranted so much about it, made my points carefully clear over and over, said that i dont have the nerves left to be nice anymore about it given how much shit alone on twitter i had to live through just bc i dared mildly critisizing the damn game, if you comment some snarky "be real" thing again im just gonna go straight to blockign people bc i am done with this

[descendantofthesparrow]

Brutally honest thoughts on each character?

...*Each* character???? bruh thats so many, okay ill keep this short cuz im waiting for a haircut rn

well start with the vks cuz thats easy

Mal-started off strong and then just became...THE WORST, love hate relationship for her. shes my art block fix but also i hate her

Jay-i dont have strong opinions on him, he actually never stuck out to me other than 'obligatory jock dude of the friend group.' i wish i liked him more but im more attached to his fandom self over canon Jay

Evie-got boring after D1, i wish they let her keep her chemistry stuff, love her vibe but shes kinda boring to me. SHOULD'VE BEEN THE MC OVER MAL!!

Carlos- lots of lost potential with his tech stuff from the first book and movie. easily could've been an engineer or inventor but they just made him an animal lover and i got bored of that real quick.

Uma-my queen, my idol, can do no wrong i love her so much i WILL kill for her.

Harry-i love his dumbass so much YALL DONY EVEN KNOW I WANNA BITE HIM SO BAD

Gil-one of the few characters i felt actually...grew up? idk but hes one of the few characters were it actually feels like time passed for.

Dizzy-oooooooh honey, honey honey, sunshine baby, please, put the glue gun down.

Celia- they should've gone with her trailer persona. Her outfits are so bad and i wish she got better writing and designs, so much lost potential, also she should've been Jays pick.

Smee twins- why the fuck are they even here they had one line and no significance. also they should've had a Harry scene.

Aks

Ben-puppy boy, deserved to have doberman energy. got turned into a doormat by the writers and is unfairly hated.

Audrey-bitch queen, shes not a nice person and thats okay~ girlboss.

Chad- should've been the D3 villan they had that all set up in D2 with his weird ass attitude over Ben getting kidnapped on the isle.

Doug -....honestly gives me the ick, especially in D3, i HATE the long hair his actor had/has. gold is NOT his color and neither is pastel purple or green. he looked good in D1 but ICK for 2 and 3.

Jane- bby gurl, blue bird sweetheart. yeah she did some fucked up shit in D1 but she was an insecure 14 year old girl who got manipulated by Mal and other aks!!!

Lonnie- deserved so much better, shes Chinese why is she getting Japanese style stuff?!?! her plot in D2 didnt even do anything it just happened and no one cared and Jay just shoved his problems of girls playing roar onto her.

Beast- *inhale* i wanna kick his ass, and i could, lemme at him. how dare he force an entire kingdom on Ben at 16 when he didnt become king when he was 28(when he married Belle)

Belle- they took away her backbone, shes not Disney princess book worm and independent Belle. she just, lost the spark

FG- they turned her into a preschool teacher, GIVE ME MY OL COOKY FAIRY LADY BACK

Leah- *seething rage*

vk parents

Maleficent- fuckin love her, shes such a manipulative bitch and feels like a gone crazy version of a Maleficent made for kids. def not the mistress of all Evil but i love her nonetheless

EQ- shouldve been the head villain, SHE WAS THE FIRST DISNEY VILLAIN CMON! def not the same character from the animated movie but shes dramatic and sassy and i adore her.

Jafar- haha funny characature~ i wish he was more menacing like he had been. Jafar is not one of my fav villains so descendants jafar didnt exactly translate for me well.

Cruella- yeah they nailed her, no complaints about her. good design, good dialogue, good acting.

Hades- LEMME KICK HIS DEAD BEAT ASS, fucking 'daddy issues made you stronger' my butt. i hate his hair and honestly he doesnt fit the washed up punk design, he didnt deserve the speech at the end and didnt deserve to be forgiven by Mal.

Ursula- we only saw her tentacle and one line but she seemed spot on so yeah

Lady Tremaine- why the fuck was she nice in D3??? bitch is the EVIL stepmother.

Smee- spot on, i have words for his sons designs becuaee hes old not naturally white haired but hes chill, makes sense hed be a good parent, he never felt evil to me, just compliant

Facilier- such a vibe, his actor got him spot on, would've changed up his suit design but hes chill and i can see him being a family man(ignoring wicked world).

[kdramaxoxo]

hihi!! i wanna ask for a list of dramas with a lead whos cold, mysterious, haunted by a troubled past, secretive, prolly has a vocabulary of like 10 words. but is super soft on the inside, like they push ppl away cus theyre afraid of hurting them or being abandoned or smthn like that. ik this is hyper specific so sryyy if its hard to answer, but all my fave characters fit this bill so wanted to kno if u have any kdrama that can give me this high (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ thxxx!! ♡

p.s. it doesnt have to b exxxactly this but if it fits a few of the categories, ill be happi! ♡♡

We LOVE mysterious haunted trauma babies over here so thank you for this ask. (also this might be one of my favorite lists ever??)

K-Dramas leads with cold personalities/mysterious past, secretive trauma pups...morally grey a plus

The Smile has left your eyes - Kim Moo-Young Aside from this k-drama being a masterpiece that’ll leave you a pile of tears, Seo in Guk as Kim Moo-Young is the perfect example of a morally grey character you will fall in love with. He’s involved in a murder plot line, uses women to get what he wants and is clearly hiding something. You’ll try to resist being interested in him sure, but you’ll fail.

Beyond Evil - both leads This is a passionate unrequited romance crime drama about two detectives that are paired up to solve a crime in a small town. Everyone is really messed up and that's what makes this drama super good! Scary, haunted and super well written.

Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 - Lee Rang Lee Rang is one of my favorite trauma pup blorbo from my shows! This drama is the second season of the fantasy drama Tale of the Nine Tailed. I recommend you watch both but season two was my favorite because it focused on Lee Rang. You will LOVE HIM! MUST PROTEC.

Alice The Final Weapon - Gyeo Wool Finally a GIRL with a traumatic past and the boy who loves her!! Actually everyone in this drama is messed up and dealing with horrific things. It's a very short and creative little drama and despite the gore, I really fell for the mains! They are blorbo from my shows!

See You In My 19th Life (both leads) This drama featuring a woman who can remember her past lives was one of my favorites this year! Both leads are tackling the trauma of the FL's death and there is a lot of healing that has to happen. Shin Hye Sun is a goddess!

The Eighth Sense - Jae Won A queer kdrama about two leads that meet surfing and fall in love. This drama is my favorite "bl" k-drama ever and the lead definitely has a traumatic past he's in therapy for. I highly recommend this one!

Flower of Evil - Hyun Soo: A psychological thriller centered around a jewelry maker who is running from his past, and his cop wife (power couple alert!)  who doesn’t know his original identity. The chemistry of the couple is amazing and all of the characters are nuanced and interesting. I was on the edge of my seat, AND sobbing! Also, I finally understand Lee Jun Ki stans, he was SO GOOD in this! A total trauma pup you won't believe it.

Doom at Your Service: Doom A girl is diagnosed with cancer and a morally grey god grants her wish to live 100 more days the way she wants to live. While I didn't LOVE this drama, the romance is amazing - that KISS! Doom is the perfect damaged god with a chip on his shoulder.

Hello Monster - Lee Hyun and His Brother Jung Sun-Ho Featuring two brothers who have a murderous backstory, both are morally grey. Sure one is definitely “worse” than the other when it comes to being a murder baby but let’s face it - they both have their problems (sorry, didn’t want to post any spoilers so that’s all I can say about that!)

The Crowned Clown: Ha-seon The King The contrast between the good guy and the bad guy in this historical drama are so interesting to watch because one brilliant actor (Yeo Jin Goo) plays the same character. The king is insane and a murderer. He’s terrible in every way with literally no way to be redeemed but you’ll still feel for him…just watch.

My Liberation Notes - Mr. Gu This slice of life takes place mostly in a small town where siblings who really don't want to be there, live. Mr. Gu is renting one of the buildings and he's extremely burdened and and keeps to himself. I personally didn't ship him with the lead but he's definitely the type you're asking for!

Scarlet Heart Ryeo: Wang Soo Scarlet heart will destroy you, but you’ll also find yourself deeply empathetic to (and totally in love with) the most toxic of princes: Wang Soo. Cast out by his relatives, and treated like an animal he’s deeply wounded and despite knowing in your heart that he’s done terrible things, you’ll find yourself making excuses for him and imagining him as your boyfriend (wait…can you ignore that last sentence?)

Summer Strike - Both leads This slice of life has a quiet and thoughtful male lead who is traumatized by the murder of his sibling. I was a little disappointed in the ending but overall the show's mains were so soft and lovely.

Just Between Lovers - Both leads but. Kang Doo! I'm sure you knew I'd put this on the list but kang doo is my favorite trauma baby of all time. Slice of Life romance between poor pups just trying to live! The OTP is one of my favorite couples EVER and even as the years go on, very few couples have matched their love in my opinion. There’s a lot of comfort/healing themes with for me is just *chef’s kiss.* Lee Junho became my bias wrecker because of that drama.

Psycho But It’s Okay - Everyone A gorgeous k-drama using fairytale narrations as a backdrop, features two brothers who lost their mother, and a beautiful & famous author who grew up in a traumatic and abusive household. Everyone is very closed off and holding onto intense pain, but the three come together to help one another move on and find happiness. Gorgeous angsty and melodramatic romance.

Thirty But Seventeen - Woo Jin Precious puppies with past trauma! The main has basically stopped living his life because of his past. Don’t be turned off by the shows description as it turned out to be one of the best surprises of 2018 for me. The leads are lovely and everyone relies and supports one another - it’s so sweet.

Come and Hug Me - Do Jin This thriller is not for the faint of heart but the main theme is healing. Two friends are torn apart when the boy’s dad kills the girls entire family. Later in life, they find one another and walk on the path to healing while still being tormented by their past. It also focuses on the trauma and manipulation the killer has on the whole family, making the show beautiful, terrifying and heartbreaking at the same time. 

Goblin: Grim Reaper Most of you have watched this drama but I’ll try hard not to spoil it. The Grim Reaper is such a hilarious character in the current time line but in order to be a Grim Reaper, you have to have done something “bad” to become one. His pain is deep and cutting and you’ll want to protect him.

It’s Okay that’s love: Jang Jae-yeol This is one of those cold male leads that you’ll just end up liking even though he’s kinda the worst in that “Pickup Artist” type of way? I had this show listed in my top 10 but then I recently watched it again and realized I’ve made progress in my “don’t like jerks who display jerk behavior” because he’s kinda an ass. You’ll soften for him when the plot moves along for sure, but he’s aggressive and says really sexist things sometimes (as does most of the male characters honestly - i really need to remove this from my top 10)…

Enjoy!

[jays-nook]

Watched the First 4 Episodes of the PJO Series, Here are My Thoughts:

Cast:

I absolutely love the cast!! They are just so perfect for their roles!! I've seen my fair share of clips and behind the scenes footage to know the chemistry between the actors and how perfectly the main trio embodies their characters, but actually seeing their acting and how well they fit together just makes sense in my brain!! They're all so small as well and adorable that it really puts it into perspective how young they truly are to be going through all of this and the things the characters go through as the books progress. It hurts but it's also endears you more to the actors and the characters.

Walker is just absolutely perfect as Percy. He's such a little shit and the way he delivers his lines, whether they're angry/emotional/sad or just comedic, is simply amazing!

"I am impertinent" THAT PART HAD ME WHEEZING FR

Although I don't have an issue with Lin Manuel Miranda as a person (I absolutely love his works and stuff) it does not make sense to cast him as Hermes, and that's just going off the elevator scene when he delivers the package! Like I honestly can't imagine this man as Luke's father :// It could've been better.

But the others are just great! Their energy is amazing and omg Mr. D was a blast! It's a much different portrayal than I was expecting since Mr. D is so chill and like aloof in the books, but seeing him yell and stuff at Percy to take on the quest just made me look at him in a new light!!

Filming/Aesthetics:

Every scene is shot so beautifully! And the choices they made with the places they add the music too!! Like the entire fight with the Minotaur being void of music was such a good choice. It just makes the entire scene so much more emotionally charged and tense while keeping the audience on the edge of their seat!! It was filmed so well and god it transported me to how it felt like when I read the books for the first time and went through that scene~

And omg the scene with Sally just sitting in the rain on the windowsill :(( That one was so soft and sad istg- any scene with Sally was just perfect, love her and the actress who did such a good job with her!!

Changes from the Books:

It's been around 5 or so?? years since I last read the books, so my recollection of what actually happened and what didn't was a bit fuzzy while watching the series but I was able to see how things changed. And so far, I don't mind the changes that much, like yes some had me staring at the screen like "hm" because they wetn a different way than I was expecting, but overall not too bad!

I did enjoy the scenes with Medusa, I liked having Percy wanting to hear her out and trusting to follow her inside because of what Sally had told him when he was a kid. I liked the conversations between Percy and her in the kitchen and even when she was explaining her side of the story to the trio. It was such a good way to present the scene, to show her resentment of both Athena and Posiedon, and also to show how she interacts with Percy to lure him in and play on his trusting and albeit naive nature at that point in the quest.

I did see people talking about episode 8 and the big reveal tho and I'm both excited to see it but also wary of the change they added cause I've seen a lot of mixed reactions. Some prefer the book version, some the version in the series.

General Thoughts:

I'm honestly enjoying the series, it's exciting seeing it all come to life and the dynamics and just sitting there in anticipation of what's to come.

I'm currently watching it with my big sis and let me tell y'all it's so much fun!! She hasn't read the books so all she knows is purely from when we watched the movies together a long time ago so she doesnt remember much (but unfortunately the big reveal at the end isn't going to be a surprise for her). I'm having the time of my life being a little shit and laughing at her confusion or whenever she'd start yelling "WHAT" at the screen like when Sally dissapeared HAHAHA she keeps turning to me and trying to come to conclusions and theories for things while I just smile or shake my head at outrageous ones. I am excited to see her reactions to certain scenes in the other books, especially when it comes to a certain someones end in the last book (she does not like him rn so I'm like 👀 rn to see if that might change along the way).

Uncle Rick did such a good job with the series so far and I'm excited to watch the rest of it, especially now that news of it being renewed for season 2 came out HEHEHE

And thats it for today! I'll be watching the rest of the series at some point this week and will be sharing the rest of my thoughts then. Thank u for reaching the end haha. Till then, have a good day folks and stay tuned! <3

*Last 4 episodes here*

[megatruxfr]

Reviewing Dutch versions as a Dutch bc i can lol - Dinotrux

A kids show that is already very high quality for its targeted audience, also has great voice actors.. but in Dutch?

I am Dutch myself and i personally like watching Dutch versions, i don't think they are so bad as everyone in our country says, i even know lots of them and i am a big fan of some of their works as they try to grow in a country that constantly bashes them for their work even tho they have such good voices most of the time. And i am just a teen 🤣

The Dutch voices

Ty

Voiced by: Jelle Amersfoort

The first thing i like about Jelle's job on Ty's Dutch voice is how he doesnt at all sound like Andrew Francis - he sounds much deeper, also a bit older hihi and he has less voice breaks. Jelle is very good at working with his voice, especially depicting emotions. In Dutch Ty sounds (in my opinion) more realistic instead of like a character. He sounds very mature. You can hear how hard Jelle worked for this and how much work he is willing to put in this. Ty has one of my favourite Dutch voices.

Dozer

Voiced by: Frans Limburg

Frans Limburg is just one of those voices that everyone in our country recognizes. I garantee you that everyone in the Netherlands has heard Frans Limburg in an animated movie / series at least 2 times. No one just knows his name. And that is a HUGE shame, because Frans is a national treasure, mark my words. The passion and the energy he puts into everything he does is just amazing to listen to! Dozers Dutch voice REALLY sticks out with the rest of the crew. Frans Limburg's raggedy, screamy acting voice fits Dozers character and personality so well and it also sounds a lot like Brian Drummond. But unlike what we see with Ty, Dozers voice is in Dutch slightly higher and screams more, unlike Brian Drummonds lower, often more calm voice. And the VOICE CRACKS - They are GENIUS!! Idk how else to describe it. Frans Limburg sometimes cracks his voice when Dozer is screaming or yelling, it really adds to the animated character and makes it very fun to watch and hear. Dozer had a few episodes where he was voiced by someone else (in at least the pounder episode) all i knew is that i wanted Frans back. Frans does such amazing jobs and i loved his depiction of Dozer! Continuing with...

Skya

Voiced by: Yael van Rosmalen

Skya is voiced by Yael van Rosmalen, who has worked with DW and Netflix before with Dragons: Race to the Edge where she played Astrid in Dutch. And as soon as you hear Yael's confident, sharp voice, its hard to forget it. Even though she isnt in a lot of productions, Yael clearly puts a lot of effort in her roles and really gets the characters she voices. Her voice is very memorable and its sounds absolutely great. She fits Skya better then i would expect, i heard her only once before as Astrid in the Dutch version of Dragons: Race To The Edge, wich i watched when i was like 8 or something, (15 now) ALL the time in between i have never watched RTTE again, and as soon as i heard Skya speak in Dutch i immediatly regocnized the voice, even after 7-8 years of not hearing it + not even thinking of it. Almost a DECADE later and i still immediatly remembered the voice. To me that really says something about how good this actress really is in her work, especially if i only remembered her from a show when i was, point 1, a young girl just looking at my screen and not paying that much attention to how a character sounds, but point 2, also not even liking the show that much and after being done watching it pretty much forgetting what it was about. Skya's Dutch voice doesnt only sound memorable, it also fits her character ridiculously well and Yael van Rosmalen, AGAIN, does not sound that much like the original English actor, in this case Ashleigh Ball, and yet she manages to fit into the character so well. I love her voice, i think she is very underrated and she deserves to be in more projects. We need more of this girl, she steals the show! Now lets go further with..

Ton Ton

Voiced by Hein Gerrits

I never really thought about Hein Gerrits and how he played Ton Ton, but something i definitley regocnize is how he does not sound like Matt Hill at all. Matt Hill and Hein Gerrits, their voices are worlds apart, but this isnt bad. I loved both of the impressions, in the case of Ton Ton and his Dutch and English voices i dont really have one i necesarrily prefer, or like more, but i do think Ton Ton sounds good in both languages. When i first heard Ton Tons Dutch voice i didnt really know what to think of it and to be honest i still kinda don't, but its really not bad. I do not think Hein Gerrits sounds bad. I think he portrays Ton Ton quite well, he sounds like he's having fun, his voice fits Ton Ton well too. Heins voice fits Ton Ton pretty well if you ask me, especially when Ton Ton yells, whoops or screams or says the word dude, like Hein knows what Ton Ton is about, he sounds very enthousiastic and like he's having fun. Also i am so glad they kept the word dude in the Dutch version •_> •

D Structs

Voiced by: Paul Kloote

This man. This man right here. This mother ffing man.

Paul's job on this show was just... wow. His work in general is so good i'm not even kidding. D Structs sounds amazing in Dutch. Paul Kloote is already good at voicing villains, i have heard him in more animated shows, like Kulipari where he was the Dutch voice of lord Marmoo, and he sounds exactly like D Structs does (wich made me giggle a bit uhrm) but Pauls acting and the way he fits into his characters is AMAZING.

You know a voice actor is good when they use the exact same voice for each character they voice, yet they still manage to fit into the character perfectly and making them sound realistic. Thats how i know Paul Kloote is good at his job. This man has an awesome acting voice for villains. He makes D Structs sound so realistic and dangerous, like he should be portrayed. Paul Kloote perfectly keeps up with Paul Dobson's original voice for D Structs. From D Structs' angry roars and dialogue to his scared / angry screams and definitley his evil laughs, Paul Kloote can do it all. He made D Structs so real and so amazing in this dub. I had pretty low expectations of Dutch D Structs, but boy was i blown away by Paul Klootes job. Just another underrated actor that deserves more attention. Someones gotta point it out! 🫠

(Final character!)

D Stroy

Voiced by: Paul Donkers

(Whats with all the Pauls in this cast lol)

Digging a little deeper here. Uhm.

Okay, being completely honest, i didnt really like Paul Donkers as D Stroy. His voice doesnt really add anything to the character. Brian Dobson made D Stroy sound like the sadistic, intelligent psycho he is, but Paul Donkers' job was just kind of bland. Ntm he sounds waaaay deeper then Brian, and it doesnt really fit D Stroy as a character. Paul Donkers is a good actor, but his voice just doesnt really suit D Stroy if you ask me, if i think of Dutch voice for him i would rather think of Rutger Le Poole (Dutch voice for Hawkmoth in Miraculous Ladybug) or Simon Zwiers (really good voice actor, was Mattis in the new Ronja - series on Netflix i think) also i am 100% sure i have heard Paul Donkers multiple times before. His voice sounds familiar, but i dont know from where.

Dinotrux in Dutch: is it worth a watch?

It definitley is!

The Dutch actors suit the characters very well and really add their own layer and vibe to each character! I would definitley recommend you give it a try and i hope you like it as much as i did!

🇳🇱Stop met klagen over nederlandse versies! Ze klinken vaak gewoon goed!

Anyways, this was my review! I will do this more often. Thanks for being here! :]

[dykeyote]

obviously i know of the wonderful real and true lesbian hermie but i would still like to hear ur thoughts on her :3

HIII :3 thank u for the excuse to explain because truly i feel so strongly abt this . here is my extensive reasons as to why hermie unworthy could never be anything but a lesbian and ur hcs are all wrong and this IS a personal attack on you btw <- thats a joke this post is very silly and not meant to be an Actual Theory but i DO feel strongly

lezzermie realness: a manifesto

REASON 1!!!!!!!!! again . WHAT WAS THE BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM THING ABOUT . and this isnt "actor character randomly dresses up as kiera knightley from bend it like beckham for no reason" which to be clear . would still make me raise my eyebrows . HOWEVER hermie isnt just any kind of actor shes a SPECIFICALLY DC ACTOR . she ONLY does dc characters . the ONE other time is when she's dressing up as scary for like a Real Reason . this is not a real reason its not even a musical or a play or smt its not even theatre kiddy . what are you trying to say hermie others will silence you but i will let you speak

REASON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! further reasons will be predicated on the assumption that scary marlowe is a: a lesbian and b: that her crush on hermie is lesbianistic in nature . this can be proven simply w the line "im not like other girls i dont like ned or earl but when im with you my heart shatters or smt along those lines i cant be bothered to check verbatim" . abt hermie . oh so youre not into GENERIC MASCULINE NAMES like OTHER (STRAIGHT) GIRLS but hermie is different ...... this is successfully✅ proven . also she compared her and scary to the joker and harley ..... and scary STILL had a crush . i dont think anybody could tolerate that unless it was from a lesbian 🙏

REASON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with this assumption presumed ....... now i know what you were thinking in reason one when i asserted hermie only broke dc those tow times . "val thats not true he was jack on the titanic" . to that i say YES ...... she did an overdramatic romantic scene riffing on an iconic straight couple from a historical movie with (as we have 100% proven) a lesbian w a dykey ass crush on her . whats more lesbian than that . thats the butchfemmiest shit

REASON 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hear you cry from the crowds . but valentine ur MISSING something . ur WRONG . because NORMAL!!!!!!!! to which i say normal is so obviously a girl to everyone but herself lets be real . the eldritch beast she has this deep connection with and empathizes with immediately is fixated on being a bad girl? she has a whole arc where she tries to be a normal son and boy to appeal to her parent who doesnt approve of how she chooses to express herself and picks a masculine name to go w it in contrast to . um . i mean i guess an adjective is gender neutral??????? hermies a lesbian FOR normal not DESPITE normal ......... also lesbians can be mlm and have complex genders too . me for example . bigender swag which hermie absolutely has

REASON 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if we assume normal's arc is transgender THEN we must observe the parallels with hermie and come to the same conclusion of girlmie (or boygirlmie but bigendermie is a convo for another day) realness . both created to be a specific type of son (normal well Normal, hermie a joke machine) both Not Quite Right in a way they cant shake both reaching out for a new more fitting identity which in hermie's case EXPLICITLY includes gender nonconformity (we will discuss next bulletpoint) . and if we prove girlmie by way of her crush on scary (and as previously stated normal) we prove lezzermie

REASON 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dressing up as poison ivy isnt necessarily lesbianistic because she dresses up as other dc villains HOWEVER!!!!!! i will argue that the way she goes about it is uniquely suggesting of dykery . a: she flirts with normal .... THROUGH poison ivy . distinctly RELATED to poison ivy . this is lesbian behavior and reinforces my prior point and b: she REPEATS poison ivy ...... which she rarely does with others she goes through Eras with the rest of them but abandons them after HOWEVER!!!!! she does poison ivy sexy and gets sort of interrupted . THEN does batman in the spiderboyz intro . THEN goes back to poison ivy in hell........ why does she only repeat the known lesbian 🤨

REASON 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERMIE unworthy ... HER MIE .... like her and me ...... instead of her man (heterosexual in nature) she chooses herMIE . normal holds her face and goes YOURE HERMIE (her x me) . think about it guys . think about it ........

ok anyway thats enough of my ramblings . this post is very silly if u cant tell but i am a #believer

[bisexualwolverines]

mj for the ask game :)

SEND ME A CHARACTER AND I’LL DO THIS;

Sexuality Headcanon: theee most bisexual woman ever

Gender Headcanon: woman, trans? cis? doesnt matter

A ship I have with said character: obviously the classic petermj, gwenmj i love, mjfelicia amazing

A BROTP I have with said character: harry/mj

A NOTP I have with said character: are there bad mj ships? i dont think ive seen them, i cant think of a character that would fit a popular ship. an obvious notp would be that stalker dude who kidnapped her that i don't remember his name but no big name characters

A random headcanon: ive read so many comics that they all kinda blend in together but what i think about constantly is the trajectory of her acting career, like canonically she went from model to soap opera actress who wasnt taken seriously because she was a model, i cant remember if there was anything specific after secret hospital but in the raimi movies she does theatre which would keep her in new york or if she wanted to do more prestige tv or film that would require more travel. but a lot of my thoughts are like how this woman from a poor background in an industry full of nepo babies trying to make a name for herself and get taken seriously as an actor. and maybe further down the line she like produces a film that she also stars in. a lot of modern media like the PlayStation games and mcu shy away from the model/actor route favouring journalist but actor mj is where its at

General Opinion over said character: i think about her all the time she is perfection

[jokeson-u]

No offense and I don't mean any disrespect to you, but I'm sorry. Your sister is a straight vile and disgusting piece of shit and fucking cunt to be defending Ryan Murphy's portrayal of the Menéndez brothers, and suggest that the real life brothers are lying about being abused. She's part of the problem and the reason why abuse victims don't speak up. And then as you said, she has the nerve to claim she's woke and all that? If she's the type that accuses victims of lying, then I don't put it past her to also be the type to say that victims "ask for it" and deserve it, because they don't fit "the perfect victim" standard. Seriously, FUCK HER! In fact, you can show her this message for me and tell her I said so, so she knows just what a shit person she really is. I don't even know her, but this is enough to make say I hate her. Anyone that accuses abuse victims of lying or agrees with them being painted in a bad light in media gets no compassion or grace from me.

NO DISRESPECT TAKEN AT ALL LMFAOOOOOO heres the thing. its not that she doesnt believe them NOW. its that shes so incredibly ignorant that, before watching the show, she somehow thought it wasnt public knowledge that they were victims. she thinks her bank of knowledge is the same as everyones. so shes acting as though ryan murphy 'showing they were abused' is some revolutionary act of justice. simply because she somehow never knew more about the case than 'crazy rich kids kill parents.' shes basically praising ryan for 'shining light' on their case..?? despite the actual facts already being out there?

so theres that ignorance. but then theres the part that really bugs me: her selective activism. bc my sister really does care about 'woke' things, but she'll look the other way if its someone she likes. or go out of her way to defend them. she likes ryan murphy, therefore any project he does shes gonna defend with 'well ryan murphy does things for controversy/shock!' I DONT GIVE A FUCK. he can easily do that by creating his OWN stories and not making a mockery of a real life tragedy. but she doesnt care! bc its ryan murphy and 'thats what he does.' SO WHY DOES HE DO IT??? like thats my issue. she gives half assed reasons like that without realizing that 'reason' is an issue too.

but her defense didnt end there! bc for some reason she realllly wanted to justify it so she spun this whole thing about what she 'thinks' ryan murphy is doing, which is this: "the first 4 episodes were super sensationalized and fictitious to represent how the press was depicting the boys and the case. and then on episode 5, things get serious and thats ryan bringing out 'out of the press' and 'into reality.'" .....what??? HUH? if that was what he was doing it would BE CLEAR. NOT SOME THEORY YOU WHIPPED UP AND ARE CLAIMING TO BE TRUE AS A DEFENSE OF HIS SHIT WRITING.

but basically. she does believe the boys were abused, but she believes what was in the ryan murphy show. AND she thinks this is all NEW knowledge that ryan is groundbreakingly showcasing. bc shes incredibly fucking ignorant. what she implied possibly NOT believing was eriks statement, as if he did it for publicity or smthn because 'he met with the actor the next day.' like how tf do those 2 things correlate?

anyways. my sister isnt one of those 'u were asking for it' people and she is knowledgeable about the concept of a perfect victim and why thats problematic. BUT, as i said, its selective in all aspects based on her knowledge. in this case, she had none, assumed no one did, and is taking ryans word for it (and spinning the non factual parts of the show it to make it look better in ryans defense.)

also there was a point where i said ryan shouldve named it 'monsters' and then the parents names instead, and she was like 'well that wasnt the name of the case' BITCH HES NOT MAKING A SHOW ABOUT THE CASE HES MAKING FANFICTION OF IT

Le Drame de Mayerling (1964) [The Drama of Mayerling]

The first movie I watch after my little hiatus and its the one in a language I dont speak and that doesnt have any subtitles available and also its not technically a film I guess, its an episode of an anthology show called 'La Caméra Explore le Temps' ['The Camera Explores Time'] but its two hours long so whatever, its close enough.

Since I wasnt able to understand any of the dialogue, like with Erzsébet királyné (1940), I dont think Im able to properly judge it right now so I plan on doing a re-review on this as well once someone uploads subtitles in a language that I can understand. Although me not understanding the dialogue didnt present nearly as much of an issue here as it did while watching Erzsébet királyné (1940) because this film didnt really have a unique plot, it was just Rudolf and Mary's relationship and then their double-suicide at the end, like all the other Rudolf-films Ive seen so far. That being said, it did seem like it was doing some stuff differently than most of the other ones, like Stephanie played a bigger role than usual (sidenote, its insane to me that she barely appears much less matters in all these films, like I get that they werent on good terms but that was his WIFE??), Elisabeth had more screentime and from what I could gather, she and Franz Joseph were meddling in Rudolf and Mary's relationship before he decides to put an end to it, which has not been the case in the other films, usually their relationship much fine and no one really has anything to say about it until Rudolf decides to request a divorce from the pope. I also felt like it was structured a bit differently, like, in most of the other films Rudolf and Mary hanging out at Mayerling before they kill themselves takes up around twenty minutes towards the end of the film and then it ends once Rudolf is dead, but here I think they get there about an hour into the movie and then we see Elisabeth getting the news and telling Franz Joseph.

So yeah, those things were all pretty neat and they do intrigue me and make me yearn for some subtitles but there but it didnt seem like this one had any kind of political plotline which makes me go "okay nvm, I think Im good for now" since the political stuff is what I tend to find the most interesting. I mean, dont get me wrong, if any of you end up making or finding subtitles for this episode in either german or english, please send them my way, but yknow. Im not desperate to understand it or anything, unlike Erzsébet királyné (1940).

Thats pretty much all I have to say right now, theres just two last things that I couldnt fit into the main post organically:

I really hated Rudolf in this for some reason, I think it was something about the actor who played him, he came across as really smug and I just wanted to punch him

I looked up La Caméra Explore le Temps before watching this to see if it was worth watching as part of this little project and I ended up translating parts of this series' wikipedia page since theres very little non-french information about it online, and it said that episodes range from 60 minutes to (i believe) 180 minutes and I was like "good god pleaseeeeeee tell me Le Drame de Mayerling is only 60 minutes, i am sick and tired of these rudolf-films i dont think I could stand to watch one thats that long" and then I found out that it was two hours long and I just wanted to scream. I mean, it didnt end up being that bad and Im not dreading any of the other films on my list like that (even though I know one of them is three hours long), I think I just had that reaction because the similar-ness of them really got to me after a while

[prestonmonterey]

you cant listen to it in order???? why is capitalism like this TwT

i think theres ways you can pirate spotify premium but idk

ok so

sillly time >:3

baby teeth

this ones just for jeddie pretty much bc hes a good christian boy idk

its basically about being raised v religious and slowly kinda falling out of it

(also bc i really like bug hunter and i needed something to break up all the musical soundtracks-)

the bro duet

i actually forgot i added this one--

it was just in the like 'recommended' section based on the other songs in the playlist

so its just like 'no homo' the song and i think that fits their pre canon vibe idk

(also george salazar aka actor for michael mell in be more chill and grover and mr d in the lightning thief sings half of it and that makes me happy)

i hate and i love

ok so this song is like kinda spoilers for adamandi but this ones also a jeddie song

theres like a lot of quincy and jedidiah parallels but i dont need to get into that right now

this is kinda pre canon?? but also not idk. maybe i should move it to later in the playlist..

cuz its like jeddie doin the necromancy stuff. he (OH my god this is my like favorite trope in the WORLD. not being able to tell someone something bc itll like physically hurt them or like a curse or something) he also cant tell sydney whats going on or itll kill him (hence 'the terror i cant speak' and 'i cant explain')

and the like 'i hate and i love' bit is jedidiah caring about sydney (at least physically...) but also forcing himself to be more distant bc he doesnt want anything bad to happen to him

(realized i have upgrade on here and i genuinely dont know why it mightve been an accident so goodbye upgrade) :(

killer track

so this ones just bc i thought it was funny but its the divider for when sydney dies. also its from an episode of nightmare time (great show btw you should watch it its on youtube and theres a lot of cast overlap from spies are forever—[gunshot] /j) also a major plot point in the episode (spoilers sorry) is that ms holloway cant say anything about her past. like, she physically is capable of saying the words but other people will immediately forget what she says and that any time has passed at all, and i think that fits

(no lyrics bc theyre silly and i think mostly satire on punk rock idk)

i love you i swear and skype tomorrow

ok so these ones kinda fit together because (even though theyre from completely unrelated musicals) theyre kinda opposite sides of one story.

i love you i swear is a bit of a stretch bc its about ambrose like actually NOT loving his gf but thats another story

i love you i swear would be jedidiahs perspective. its about him saying he loves sydney and trying to mean it but like not matching his actions to that.

its also like jeddie seeing himself and his failure in sydney and feeling bad about that (as well as like the core of the song is that ambrose cant love sophie because he doesnt love himself)

skype tommorow is basically the opposite of that. so its originally from the perspective of kate in we are the tigers, and its about her girlfriend moving away and going to college. its more about physical distance than the emotional distance in chnt, buuuuut we can just ignore that

so its sydney basically just being sad bc he knows somethings up with jeddie and its getting worse

(ok this isnt related at all to chnt but it reminded me of varian-)

so first quote would i guess be like about lucille bc sydney was kinda raised by her so he prolly recognises that a lot of jedidiahs neglectful behaviours come from her and sydneys familiar with that

second one is the fact that sydney doesnt really have a life outside of camp because he doesnt leave

third is about how sydney knows jedidiah has to care about him or make people think he cares about him because he knows that if he didnt then lucille would kick him out

and fourth is extra angst just for fun (ive always wanted to be killed by something that loved me-)

say goodbye

i guess this ones a sydney song (btw the original is about medusa and its from an album called monstersongs which is just monsters being angsty and i realllllllly like it)

sydney being angsty and also like wanting clarity on their relationship. because if he has clarity then he can have control and lets be real control is actually sydneys main motivation (he wants to know things because knowledge is power and power is control)

safe word

whoa another non musical song :O

this is one of my all time favs so thats most of the reason i included it

ok so the first bit reminds me of jeddie obviously bc clock motif

and i guess most of it is about like taking a chill pill and i think sydney needs that. and like having a filter and taking a break (all things that sydney desperately needs)

bonus lines for angsty references >:3

fool

this one, like most of the songs on this playlist are just like. angsty/unhappy/overly codependent relationship and thats it so.

yeah i think its pretty straightforward

love me normally

tbh i think i just wanted more will wood songs on this

ok so same deal

wanting to be loved

uhh dream imagery=sydneys hallucinations. second thingy is the like v codependent nature of their relationship

uhhhh 3rd quote would be them trying to do things better and learn from other peoples mistakes but still failing (ex. jedidiah trying to take care of sydney and sydney keeping the fox in that one episode about the hunt idk)

and fourth is about sydney wanting to be loved like everyone else and jedidiah knowing that sydney deserves to be loved like everyone else but not being able to provide that

cover this song (a little bit mine)

same sorta falling out of love deal

um ok fuck i capped on images but im like halfway done

i could just copy and paste the lyrics thatd be smarter

ok heres the last one from this song

"What can I say to convince you or do to make you agree with me?"

so like uhhh first one is like jeddie reviving sydney but still neglecting him (like in elijahs story) and then second is him like trying to do better

and 3rd kinda relates to jeddie not believing anyting sydney says about elijah until hes an actual physical threat (thats not like super related but whatever)

uhh actually screenshotting lyrics is easier so um munch on this for a while and ill rb with the rest of it

hehehe yeah :3

(honestly i havent listened to that much cavetown-)

i actually forgot how much effort i put into that playlist (m not very good at makin playlists TwT) but i like overanalyzed every song so if you wanna hear me ramble about it-

also im so sorry that killer track is on there if you havent heard it yet it WILL destroy your ears (it jumpscares me everytime TwT) but i thought twas silly

thats like the marker in my head for when sydney dies i think

the playlist is like mostly in chronological order?

i think like around silver bullet or be glad i love you is like post season 1

[surpriserose]

Chris can u fancast how Hollywood would cast RGU

Jesus christ is this payback for boyfriends posting im sorry ill never do it again

God okay rgu has a pretty big cast and im gonna be ignoring some characters but only like people from the black rose arc sorry mikage and ljke all the minor characters </3 but still this is gonna be long and terrible and ouughhhh >:(

Okay first things first this is Hollywood this shit takes place in LA now and everyones been whitewashed to hell and back since im going the ghost in the shell slash death note light *TURNER* route im so sorry

Utena tenjou, now utena Turner (no relation to light) is gonna be fucking haliee steinfeld because oughhhh it causes me the most amount of pain and i honestly feel like you couldnt pay her to kiss another woman

Anthy himemiya, now called annie hemingway to not confuse american audiences, is played by priyanka Chopra because they remember anthy is indian but not that shes you know dark skinned

Touga kiryuu, now called tony kerrigan, has to be god whats that dude from to all the boys ive loved before? Noah centineo who is painfully miscast because no one understands touga who is now just genuinely utenas love interest probably

Nanami Kiryuu, now fuckinggggg ouuygghh nancy kerrigan or something, is played by jojo siwa who honestly could probably pull it off i believe in her but not with the script and director who probably make nanami unrecognizable. Because its jojo siwa she gets some new original character to have a blink and you miss it gay kiss with

Saionji kyouichi, now god fucking sean cooper or some shit, is now entirely comic relief so anthy and utena can have #girlpower moments that dont work AT ALL so hes probably like fuckign idk one of the jonas brothers the one who was in jumanji he was pretty good actually

Miki kaoru, now mickey kelly i guess, idk hes like tom holland in a bad wig being his best uwu soft boi

Juri Arisugawa, now julie armstrong, is fucking ahhhhh im running out of hip young actors im gonna have to start looking up the euphoria cast list juris uhhh dove Cameron i think that fits in that it doesnt. Juris also straight shiori doesnt exist her new love interest is ruka/ryan played by uhhhh cole sprouse lets dip into riverdale

Hmmm i think thats everyone except akio? Im gonna be vague on akio since you dont know who he is but

Akio is now aaron Hemingway annies brother and hes played but rahul kohli who is the dude whos way too good for this project and honestly i think he could do it but again akio is unrecognizable hes just anthys supportive but hilarously overbearing older brother

Other things that cause me pain aside from casting:

Utena isnt butch anymore she dresses like a Hollywood tomboy and probably gets a feminine makeover at some point and sticks with it

No one is lgbt except nanami and even then plus they probably make a few jokes about anthy and utena looking like a couple and its really homophobic

Idk the rose bride is now the equivalent of a prom queen and everyones competing to get anthy as their date or something but then anthy and utena start competing to be the rose bride

And because its unrecognizable as rgu utena and anthy both become rose brides and its the climax of the movie where theyre like ...women...dont have..to fight each other....we're all rose brides probably with some mean girls references

It closes on utena and touga kissing and probably idk anthy and saionji kissing and the rest of the couples

Olivia rodrigo makes a cameo as like the prom singer or something and does an english pop cover of rinbu revolution that is also unrecognizable

People online get mad if you ship this version of anthy and utena because theyre straight

[cartoonemotion]

after a million years plus an addition million years post the show ending i am finally just now scribbling out my takes and stuff on fethry's immediate family a la how they would fit into dt17 canon

the breakdown in my mind is that all 3 of eider and lulubelle's children are Strange and Ambiguously Disordered (fethry taking the most after his mother) and also to some degree have inherited eider's legendary strength (abner being basically on par with his father and fethry as the baby and the runt of the three being much more close to just having normal person strength, though still a bit surprising for how noodly he is)

more specific points abt the family under the cut bc i dont want the post to be too long @_@

abner

definitely autistic (as 3 and also lulu are) but its like in that. i dont have healthy coping mechanisms to deal with how alienated from ppl i feel so im just gonna fish and carve wood and if anyone enters my space i will burn it down with both of us still inside it. way

that being said abner’s still plenty capable of being a compassionate guy deep down. he cares a lot about his family and takes whatever responsibility u entrust him with extremely seriously

comes off as emotionally stunted bc he doesnt really show affection in the “normal” way, including and especially physical affection and also. saying shit  out loud. he has his own love language its called * noncommittal groan of acceptance as you enter his house *

in my brain i know he should have a job but all i can think about is him fucking off in the woods so he doesnt have to talk with people. maybe one of those people who sit in towers all day to make sure forests dont burn down. i dunno

mary

loves acting and wants to be a professional stage/screen actor so bad but is unfortunately terrible at acting. probably been in like a few commercials or something

very very dramatic, im talking full comedy sketch of a julliard actor levels of melodrama and stage fainting, whether onstage or not. this makes it hard to tell if her reactions to things are genuine or not unless u are her brothers or parents who have been dealing with this forever

since the acting career is not really taking off Yet she has maybe ripped off 1 or 2 or 20 or so people maybe more just to keep the lights on. ironically when shes conning people she can actually act convincingly (my leverage fans out there. you know)

some of you will probably ask about dugan and while i do absolutely love dugan personally in my mind marys not ready nor interested in motherhood. so. maybe some day i will reveal my own dt17 dugan origin concept idk

eider

something of a local folk hero due to both his truly legendary strength and his equally strong inclination to lend his neighbors a hand, or really anyone else who may need a little help for that matter

as exceptionally goofy and loving as you could want any dad to be, though he can also be a bit stern when he needs to be, and a little prideful

in my mind i think it would be very cool if he had moved his family into granny elvira’s farm to give her a hand bc while shes a tough old woman everyone still needs a hand from time to time but i dont know if this contradicts any serious duck lore so forgive me

lulubelle

full loon baby ! none of this “looks like every other member of clan mcduck” shit !!! yes this includes the blood red eyes #epicloonwin

many make the mistake to count her as an absent minded spooky insane woman but this could not be further from the truth. she is very sharp-witted, observant, and is only spooky simply because its pretty near impossible to creep or gross her out, and even harder to full-on scare. and also because she makes long uninterrupted eye contact all the time

fethry definitely inherited a lot from her, but one of the main things they share is the tendency to cycle through all kinds of seemingly unrelated hobbies and interests; but much like fethry’s chief passion seems to be marine biology, lulu greatly enjoys botany and all it’s practical applications, as well as music

[fertbutt]

I watched the school for good and evil or whatever it's called last night and i am just so conflicted and confused and confounded.

note, this is coming from someone who has never read these books. I think this is the type of series i wouldve devoured in 7th grade though

The premise is borderline dystopian. These kids are being separated into either good or evil, no inbetween, with extremely rigid but also arbitrary rules as to what is good and what is evil. there's no room for change or growth, you're either one or the other for the rest of your life.

agatha and sophia, the protagonists, are upset with this. sophia thinks she's not meant for the evil school, there's been a mistake, and agatha (who is infinitely more likeable throughout the entirety of the movie) just wants to go back to her home to take care of her mother.

as i was watching the scene early on where all the students are separated, and the good boys come out and do all the sword tricks, i sorta came to a realization.

this is a queer allegory, right? am i insane for thinking that? like, this is just But I'm a Cheerleader. the way the boys and girls in the school for good are separated to strictly, forced into these masculine or feminine roles, it's almost satirical.

and the whole movie is satirical, right? it feels like it's trying to be, at least. it's sorta campy and very clearly poking fun at these fairy tale cliches. which can be annoying sometimes, like in Enchanted, but i think this movie does a good enough job of embracing the absurdity of it all without coming off as down-right laughable and corny.

however i still thought there were problems with the tone of the film. they're trying to balance this whimsical, quirky fantasy story with like, high-stakes mature aspects that don't work very well imo. like, a kid gets turned into a bird monster and then killed by another kid who doesnt recognize the monster as him. the kid just dies. this other kid, tedros, just murdered an innocent person. but the story really wants you to like tedros, and really wants agatha to like tedros (even though shes clearly a lesbian but I'll get into that later....) so he never faces any meaningful consequences and never meaningfully changes. agatha is mad at him for like, two scenes.

another example is the weird "love" going on between sophia and the centuries-old evil big bad guy. was this necessary? could he not have just been manipulative and creepy without passionately making out with her in the climax? the actor even looks older than her, the character is supposed to be immortal and young but he looks like hes in his early-to-mid twenties while sophia is clearly a teenager. and im not saying that just because the movie is depicting this sort of relationship, that makes the movie problematic or anything. I'm saying it really, really does not fit in with the tone of the movie. depicting this sort of predatory relationship in a movie for teenagers could be really good, a way to warn the younger audience about relationships with older partners, but that requires much more commentary and critique than this film is even allowed to provide. the movie is already TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG, adding in a subplot about an abusive predatory relationship wouldve just overstuffed it even more. so why even bother if you're just going to half-ass it? what's the point? to make the story more mature? it's about fairy tales and folklore and a magic school, it doesn't have to be dark and edgy.

but at least, i said as i was watching it, they were still seemingly trying to critique all of these things. I kept watching, hoping that this would all be resolved, and they would come to the obvious conclusion that separating children into these two factions benefits nobody and the whole concept should be gotten rid of. and also, sophia and agatha should kiss.

the entire movie these two were in love, i swear I'm not pulling this out of my ass. the way that they only ever had each other, and they were always doing things for each other, and they always had each other in mind. the movie sets up this whole idea of true love's kiss, and in typical young adult fantasy fashion sophia scrambles to find a guy to magically fall in love with, and agatha helps her. and it just felt so clear to me that logically sophia should just kiss agatha. all of this movie's sins would have been forgiven, if it was just sapphic.

and guess what. they do kiss. in the most unsatisfying way possible.

in the climax, evil big bad makes out with sophia, and the whole school starts to be destroyed and it's the apocalypse or whatever, and agatha comes to save sophia, obviously. evil big bad tries to impale agatha with a giant magic quill, sophia pushes agatha out of the way and gets impaled instead. tedros tries to kill evil big bad with excalibur, fails. sophia, with her last ounce of strength, levitates the sword into agatha's hands so she can slay the evil big bad, and agatha succeeds. agatha goes to sophia, bleeding out on the ground, cries over her dying body. sophia confesses her love for agatha, agatha reciprocates. AGATHA KISSES SOPHIA ON THE LIPS. SOPHIA IS REVIVED BY TRUE LOVES KISS. I was ecstatic.

and then.. sophia calls agatha her best friend. sophia offers to leave agatha at the school with tedros and watch over agatha's mother for her. agatha almost agrees, goes over to tedros and fully kisses him on the lips, then says she cant leave her best friend. the movie says "what's greater than the love between two best friends". they go back home, holding hands. I'm devastated.

they don't get rid of the schools for good and evil. at the end, theyre just switched, and they just decide it's okay for good students and evil students to be friends.

and that's the movie. in a word, disappointing. it couldve been so much more, it set up all these cool things, all of the pieces were there, but in the end they just ended up scrambling the whole puzzle. it's just so frustrating. I'm sure someone else could give a much better analysis of the things this movie gets wrong, and a tumblr post probably isnt the best outlet for this sort of thing, but I had to put this somewhere. if you actually read this far, thanks, if you read this far and you still love the movie, thank you sincerely for listening to my ramble.
