I really despise the Marvelification of Stranger Things, because all the interviews nowadays are constantly referencing how fast paced and epic and big the finale will be but the reason people fell in love with the show wasn't special effects or long episodes; it was the plot, it was the characters, it was the mystery. Stranger Things 1 may have been a story about a government conspiracy and a monster, but that's not why we stuck around. The show can throw amazing CGI, Russians, a battle within the American army and an apocalypse at the audience with the biggest budget known to man but if they forget to ground it and keep it central, it'll just get lost amongst a plethora of other "epic" blockbusters. We want Steven King, not Avengers.

I don't think Viktor leaving was rushed. I mean. When your boyfriend transforms you into the thing which killed someone you cared for and you also expressly requested to be destroyed, having already accepted you were going to die -- yeah I'd make that decision pretty quickly too.

ive been thinking about taco and balloon forming a little alliance post s1/ pre s2 where they'd (begrudgingly) work together planning on how to break into hotel OJ to steal stuff to take back to their makeshift camp like food, blankets, pillows, etc,,, anything that could be useful to them

i'm rewatching arcane s1 and i think this is the first solo face to face fight that we see after finding out that ekko is the leader of the firelights and i'm just getting emotional because like after jinx is like omg hi the boy savior, ekko doesn't even say anything, the first thing he does when they meet is he starts swinging his watch and we're like what the fuck is going on

and so is jinx she's like what the fu- but then she gets it

he's bringing up this old game they used to play, something only he and powder would know about.

and powder does show up.

suddenly jinx is back to being powder again. she's giggly and excited, it's just her and ekko, it's just a game.

and then we see this sequence of slowed down intercuts of not just the game fight, but also a prediction of how the actual fight is going to play out

and they know how this game is going to turn out, they've played together so many times.

ekko gets shot. he loses. powder is too fast a shot for ekko to land a hit. powder wins.

and then we rewind back to the moment before their fight, and they play out the dance that they both know they're in. except this time,

there's no shot. there's this slowed moment where ekko's hovering in the air, fully open for a shot, and you're telling me that jinx the sharpshooter who's older now and is known for her speed can't land a hit?? no, she HELD HER SHOT

and gets bashed in the face by ekko a few times

and the first time i watched this scene, or in my memory of it, i interpreted this scene as being a moment where jinx is using ekko's feelings and memories of their childhood to emotionally manipulate him into not killing her/ beating her up, and i remembered that ekko fell for it and that jinx exploded them or something. but the way i remembered in my head it was like, jinx was like oh no! don't hit me i am poor baby powder! and then ekko is like omg you are poor baby powder and then jinx is like HEEHEE GOTCHA AS IF and then explodes them but now that im rewatching the show its more like

idk i'm sure this is supposed to represent like just how manipulative and awful jinx is that she would trick her childhood friend like that, but to me this is the face of someone who wishes things weren't like this. someone who's sorry that she has to do what she does next.

AND ALSO CAN I JUST SAY

THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER SO !!! TENDERLY !!!

[voidpunkpal]

aabria. your mind.

i don't know how long a gap there is between episodes. but how long did she have to create a player has died mechanic?? how long did she have to rewrite this island to make sure it could bring evan back to life????? how did she have fulfilling answers to everyone's questions when they're all so different and broad and needed meaningful answers?????

and How On Earth Did She Already Have Jammers Sock On Hand ??????

[loki-us]

I just find it hilarious and very telling that Loki and Sylvie’s ‘romantic love themes’ are called “Pep Talk” and “Stop” and Loki and Mobius’ theme is literally called “Lokius.”

Listen to me. LISTEN TO ME.

Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling are so important to Lu Guang. The first episode of the Bridon Arc basically showed us that all of them are naturally kind, naturally helpful, naturally just....heroic. And the two of them died and one was left to go back in time to pick up the pieces and save them all. So Lu Guang was left more reserved. But the people he loves are SO heroic, so kind....and he just can't let them do it by themselves and neither does he want to force them to stop being the people he loves. So he helps them. He will tell Cheng Xiaoshi and probably Qiao Ling eventually about his powers. And he'll help people because the people he loves want to help people and, deep down, he cares about others as well but - more significantly to the narrative - he cares about these two.

The manga artist talking about how she realized the path she took wasn't the easiest, implying that there were other easier paths to take to see the stars. Lu Guang telling us that kindness isn't the problem but people who take advantage of it. He will keep taking the difficult path of turning back time, trusting his friends, and letting them lead him and themselves into dangerous situations out of the goodness of their hearts....that's the hardest path, but he'll let them drag him into it because it's who he loves. Because there is no guarantee what will happen, but he will try and try to make it happen in their way.
