The Monkey King (2023) would've been much better without...

*WARNING: SPOILERS*

Lin secretly working for the Dragon King. It overly complicated the movie and felt like a Disney "Hercules" rip-off. You know what would be better? If after days of Monkey King mistreating Lin and her finally realizing he's a jerk…THEN Dragon King would ask her to betray the Monkey King. Given her bad experience with Monkey King she'd be much more willing to betray him, and possibly more conflicted about it later.

#personally i think the movie's OK #while most people online either love or hate it #bowen yang was my favorite part of the movie #the monkey king #monkey king netflix #disney #hercules #disney hercules

I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...

#personal #delete later #idk i just saw a post of the “alternate ending” comic on my dash and everyone praising it as an improvement and “fixing” the original #which i kinda resent #while tulli and i was taking my nephew to a book store we walked around the kids section and found the giving tree and we read through it #and i was so stricken by how profoundly sad it is. it's not a happy story #in the end both versions tell the exact same lesson. but one flat out tells you and the other makes you sit with a pit in your stomach #and work to find the answer #i dunno it's kids literature but kids literature is important. i don't wanna discredit anyone's bad memories with the book but also i think #sometimes it's ok to make kids a bit sad and upset with fiction.#tweet that goes “what if romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves and explained to the audience that family feuds are bad”#idk you can't seriously read the original book as an adult and say it's glorifying self-martyrdom #when the final drawing of the book is of an old tired man sitting on arotting stump with his hat fallen to the ground #again i don't wanna invalidate people's feelings if they enjoy the alt version i think it's really nice too. but the original has its #purpose too. imagine if at the end of the lorax they show that the boy did it and replanted the world happy ending #wait they did that in the movie shit #i dunno i just love somber children's literature. tulli and i are talking about moomin right now and how the series ends with the moomin #family just leaving. and nobody gets to say goodbye to them. their friends have to find ways to live with the emptiness they've left behin

honestly some of the wish hate i'm seeing is valid and some of it is the most insane opinions you've ever seen in your life. once again i am saying to ppl like "this is the worst disney movie" go watch beauty and the beast 3: belle's magical world and come back to me on that ok. watch the live-action mulan. if you didn't like the plot of wish at least it looked fucking spectacular. have you seen hunchback of notre dame 2?? you cannot tell me that wish is irredeemable garbage until you have watched hunchback of notre dame 2. "well that wasn't made for theatres–" chicken little. ralph breaks the internet. pocahontas has been spitting on the memory of a dead indigenous girl since 1995. it's okay if you went in expecting something as good as encanto and didn't get it but the absolutely insane takes of "the entire thing was just bad references" "magnifico was right and asha and amaya were the villains" "it was ugly and disrespectful" like shut UP and sit through mulan 2.

#mine #wish 2023 #disney wish #wish disney #negativity i guess?#more negativity about the negativity #*i* personally loved this movie! i feel like you could say it's bland at WORST #the fact everyone's decided it's the second coming of satan is. insane to me #also half the time it's just 'we get it. you think chris pine is hot and cant relate to the main character of color. like ok move on'

feelin kinda sad so eating an obscene amount of pasta

#YukiPri rambles #it's nothing serious #just have had a stream of unfortunate disappointments #nothing major and each time i'm like well ok that could have been worse and i'm glad it wasn't #but the cumulative result is just me kinda feeling droopy inside despite trying to continue lookin chipper outside #'wilted' i think is best descriptor for me rn #trying to tell myself that retail therapy isn't the answer here #In case folks are curious #the disappointments are:#1) dad was in a car accident and no one was hurt but gave me a huge scare #2) was given a day off at work in exchange for working a weekend and was looking forward to both #but they asked me last minute nevermind come in instead and i had to cancel all the plans i'd made and couldn't reschedule #3) movie i wanted to see on said day off is no longer playing in local theaters so it's either convince mum to drive an hour or give up #4) had an afternoon tea planned with mum and her friends and was looking forward to it for a month and only eating out this month #had reservations and outfit picked out and everything #but then a few days before landlord scheduled repairs for that day and wouldn't listen when we said we had plans #so i stayed home so mum could go and i'm glad she could go but sad #5) went to work this morning and there'd been a flood in the office from a customer leaving the bathroom sink running #and the torrent of water came down on my desk specifically ruining all of my books/personal stuff #i got reimbursed but it's just really sad bc some of those things were free/gifts that i can't get back and i hate throwing out books #especially ones i never got to read but they were completely drenched through and unsalvageable...#6) had an outing planned this weekend i was really looking forward to but we probably can't go bc weather is bad #i think there were a few others but that's most of the big ones #i am wilted and just want to curl up and not move

hermann thoughts: if i discredit newton and his approach enough, the martial won't give him the equipment for his kaiju drift, and i can protect him from himself. if he despises me for it, so be it. there is little i wouldn't sacrifice to see him safe.

newt thoughts: this is a Best Science competition and i have to Win

#unscientific aside #newmann #pacific rim #thinking about them again today #it's very easy to read hermann's animosity during the movie as him being pissed off at newt for his 'completely crazy'#theories getting attention + being a massive nuisance in general #that's exactly what it looks like if you just listen to WHAT he's saying #however if you pay attention to WHEN he says it & pay attention to his face when no one is looking it's very clear there's more going on im #like the kaiju entrails comment. newt has all these tables with guts set up right next to the line & has clearly been working there for age #theres a big pile of intestinal-looking tubes over on hermann's side of the floor already! not a peep from hermann!#but then when newt tries to join the conversation he happens to throw another little squidgy bit & suddenly hermann jumps on him about it #brings up in front of the marshall how CONSTANT this unprofessional conduct is while also cutting newt off #he physically puts himself between newt & pentecost #interrupts newt every time he tries to talk #starts making snarky little personal comments AT newt to discourage him - 'don't embarrass yourself' 'yes [just get to the point]'#'this is the point where he goes completely crazy' [significant look at newt]#keeps hovering in the background looking between newt & pentecost #like. ok he is SO MAD that newt is getting pentecost's attention here. obviously #the thing that does it for me though is how sad and resigned he looks when newt finally does get to the point #this is not the face of an angry rival #this is the face of a man with ulterior motives for his animosity #i dont think newt has any ulterior motives hes aware of lol he thinks hes in a movie about 2 geniuses vying for scientific superiority #happens to be in love with hermann but hasnt realized because hes so mad at him all the time #he only realizes how much hermann cares when he offers to drift with him

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

#This applies to other media too #Like movies or TV or theater #Idk man like #It's a very the customer is always right attitude with books these days #And I think it has leaked into fic writing as well #People really get the “this isn't what I personally enjoyed” and “this thing is objectively bad” mixed up #Like people can leave whatever reviews they want on my books they paid for it #But I've had people who liked OFMD be like well I didn't like this because it wasn't OFMD #Well I didn't say it was did I?#And never forget that fic commenter I got who was like um I don't like that you had QuinObi in this but otherwise it was good #Ok???#KCrabb rambles #Writing things

on god im always excited when ppl get into my interests but the sole exception is sonic the hedgehog Then im monitoring you extremely closely and any mistake can mean instant block. IT GETS SERIOUS

#anyway i just blocked a mutual of like a year on twt bc they got into sonic from sonic 3 and then immediately started shipping son/adow #and Okay. IS IT PETTY TO BLOCK SOMEONE OVER A SHIP. yeah probably.#but time and time again ive seen new sonic fans that always like son/adow #always say the most fucking egregious shit about the series bc they dont know SHIT from FUCK about the games #also son/adow fans are the number one offenders of mischaracterizing the characters and no thats not hyperbole. its actually unbelievable #listen i can be friends with someone who likes son/adow. Sometimes. if theyre chill.#but as a Seasoned Sonic Veteran (has been playing the games since i could pick up a controller)#i need to spare myself the grief of seeing bad sonic takes on my timeline #i can handle people liking things i dont like but im so cagey about sonic i get genuinely heated about bad takes #from people who are just ignorant and dont play any of the games and just read idw and watch the movies #like holy shit pick up a controller or watch a playthrough what is wrong with you #literally when sonic 2 came out i became mutuals with this person #and they did a “hottest sonic character” poll AND TAILS WAS ONE OF THE OPTIONS #and when they were getting dogged on they said “oh i just watched the movies i didnt know he was eight” BROTHER.#i cant trust new sonic fans bro. ESPECIALLY NOT ONES WHO CAME FROM THE MOVIES seriously im watching yall.#anyway if youre wondering what any of that has to do with the ship thinking sonic and shadow would be in a relationship is inherently wrong #sorry.#does this sound elitist idk maybe but idc im just sick of these ppl #ok heated rant over #txt

Everyday I honestly appreciate that they sorta changed up a bunch of characteristics in all of the ninja for the movie like. It just make sense...

Aside from it being a whole entire new universe, they literally go to highschool (which is never shown in the series) contributing to changing the ninja's personality a bit

The series and movieverse counterparts of each ninja grew up in an entirely different environment, so it does make sense for their character to be slightly different from eachother!!!

Take Lloyd as an example: he's much more socially awkward, shy and insecure compared to his series counterpart , one of the factors to this being the fact that he was basically teased and bullied his whole entire life while in the series while he (used) to be hated by basically everyone too, after knowing Lloyd was the destined green ninja the tables have turned. And series Lloyd was still pretty young too(am I making any sense help)

But yeah the same applies to the other ninjas,, since we haven't actually get to explore what they're whole background is like in the movie, it's safe to assume that their personal life does in fact make up the type of character they are

#had a discussion w someone on twt and it was written or more neatly i think help sorry its hard to put stuff into words sometimes #does this make sense. does any of this make sense #but yewh consider. the type of environment they were growing up in plays a HUGEEE role in developing a person #id say its fair they wanted to change up the ninjas' character here #in fact i feel like itll be a wayyy dumber decision to make them exactly like their series counterparts #ok thats enough oopps #tlnm #the lego Ninjago movie #ninjago movie #ninjago

icl i would be at least a little happy with almost any ending for stranger things but one thing that would ruin all of it would be an epilogue (of a decade or more later)
