the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

It's always fascinating to compare Sniper's relationship with his parents in the 'Meet the Sniper' short with the comics. Personally, it's because of how it evolves from a brief mention to a sincerely satisfying character arc.

"I'll be honest with you. My parents do not care for it [it is him being a mercenary]."

In the short, it shows that either one or both of his parents disapprove of his decision to be a mercenary. Which no doubt, would cause strain in any relationship; regardless of the closeness. It doesn't particularly mean they're distant, however, as we see Sniper talking to his dad on the phone. (though it is shown via an argument).

I can argue that this was a subtle display that they both still cared about him enough to not completely cut him out of their lives, despite the understandable reason if they were to. I've seen some that suggest his parents might've disapproved of his mercenary work because they fear having to attend their son's funeral. Regardless of the reason, they kept contact with him, but their dynamic was strained.

Of course due to the short amount of time, this point was skimmed through and was fairly quick in pace. His complicated family issues were established and for a very long time, this was not explored until in 2014 with "Blood in the Water".

Sniper's specific arc in the comics revolves around wanting to find his birth parents after his adoptive parents passed away, or in his words; his "real parents."

Even in just the establishing scene with his birth parents, it already showed them mainly caring about themselves over the baby Sniper. And him ending up in the rocket that gave him safety was completely unintentional, as the two were bickering over who should use it.

By contrast, we see Mr. and Mrs. Mundy going to the crashed rocket and later implying to raise Mick as their own.

Throughout what we see of his birth parents, they're shown to be bumbling and drunken respectively; with neither really caring about each other. Let alone Sniper. Firstly in Bill-Bel's case, where he asks for money right after showing the rocket that ultimately saved Sniper's life.

And then in Lar-Nah's case, where she took the rocket to escape and abandoned both Bill-Bel and Sniper to potentially die as a result (excluding soldier and miss pauling).

Their presence doesn't have to be constant to infer that both of these characters are self-absorbed; only caring about oneself, anyone else be damned.

Despite the consistent displays of disrespect from both parents, Sniper still very much cares about them. Where he's completely willing to put his own life in jeopardy in order to get his dad to safety.

And to have that care be thrown in Sniper's face.

But despite even that, Sniper held hope and kept his expectation that he may potentially care in some capacity. He just wanted anything; any shred of assurance that his "real" parents cared about him. Something to call 'home' after his adoptive parents passed. Something to make this search for his ""real"" parents feel worth it.

You can see the genuine happiness on his face when under the impression that his dad came back; to save him. Only for it to dim when...

This part is not directly stated but after having his trust be disregarded multiple times by his ""real"" parents, he concluded one important thing: His adoptive parents are his real parents. He was their real son. He was a Mundy.

On top of that, it shows that his parents seem to develop as well. The disapproval, the arguing in the 'Meet the Sniper' short; is nowhere to be seen here. What we see are two parents that genuinely want the best for their son, even calling him a 'professional' and focusing on him staying alive rather than staying in heaven with them.

These were the exact words that Sniper needed to hear. There is no debate: Mr. and Mrs. Mundy are his parents.

I think his arc of finding his "real" parents already stood on its own but with the additional context that his relationship with his adoptive parents were tumultuous at best, it made the emotional impact of both, stronger in hindsight.

I was surprised why you were angry when I asked about the review because there was nothing wrong with it before I searched and found out I got the channel name wrong

The one I was looking for was Michael The Cinemafile's review. It's 100 percent positive and I'm comparing the benefits of Hazbin Hotel to Wish so I thought I'd ask because I remember you saying you jumped on the Wish hate train and I was curious if you knew it

OHHHHH! IVE WATCHED THAT ONE! It's really good at breaking down how Hazbin clearly outshines Wish as a musical. And Hazbin definitely does do villain songs way better than whatever was going on with Disney. For anyone curious, here's the video:

And when I mean Disney...I mean Disney. I'm not gonna blame the creators of Wish completely bc Disney pressured them to work faster. Although, they still hired a pop songwriter to create songs for a musical, which was certainly.....a choice.

Also, I'm extra salty at Wish for making ppl get mad LMM, as if he had anything to do with this x3 Like, if Lin worked on Wish, you would know that the songs would be decent. They tried to copy his work but then forgot to add the passion that goes with it.

Babys first hated arc for Bones

I just finished s9 ep 4, the last bit of Pelant's story and I can't help but feel... disappointed. They were clearly leading up to something with Pelant wanting Brennan to be his endgame, and then we had Booth save the day.

And it's not that I'm mad about. That was sweet and all but I verbally out loud was yelling at my T.V. because this felt so underwhelming.

While I understand we were seeing more and more that Pelant wasn't who he thought he was, it felt SO cheap that Booth was able to just shoot him right there.

I think he could've had more story. We could've seen his downfall as he gave into delusions more. It was SO clear with the bone swapping and the whole plot of this episode that he could've ran off with Bones!!! I'm so upset that honestly he didn't run off.

I'm gonna use another longterm character. The Gravedigger.

She was also shot, but when SHE was killed I felt satisfied. That felt right in the story. Pelant being shot and killed did NOT. I'm so upset truly that it ended here.

It would've felt much more narratively satisfying to see Pelant running with Brennan thinking he WON, and slowly seeing him descend into madness and getting more sloppy, than Booth just shooting him and ending it here.

I am so mad!!!!! It shouldn't have been this!
