When it comes to playing animated villains, Christian Slater is pretty underrated.

(He literally just plays a dick version of himself in Archer and I find that stupidly funny for some reason)

cristobal sifuentes, noho hank & sally reed (barry); carmen "carmy" berzatto & marcus (the bear); greta gill (a league of their own); romulus "roman" roy (succession); edward teach/blackbeard (our flag means death); irving bailiff (severance)

For not having touched this table a lot, playing this again in the grand tournament event felt oh-so-good, especially with goals like these.

Instead of discourse about showrunners and lesbians and whatever, I'm gonna bring a different type of discourse...whats ur fav and least Dr Whomst monsters. Hard mode: only the practical ones.

ok so I do like all the obvious ones, I like the angels, I like the vashta nerada, I like the not-things, I like the eternals. Here's a few deeper cuts (focusing on the tv show specifically):

they peaked with these maggots. they rock. pretty sure they're made with taxidermy? really great puppetry. I really like this thing:

what a cool design for this kind of forgotten midseason episode.

this is such a fun design for a langolier-type monster. I love how their crest and tail gives them the silhouette of a grim reaper

The 60s cybermen rock. I feel like they're hesitant to use them often in the modern show because they do look very 1960s but I think there's something really uncomfortable and evocative about the cloth faces that's lost when they're cool metallic robots. The mix between looking like an old diving suit and the implication of there being a chopped up person inside is gnarly and I love it. Simple, creepy, iconic design.

My favorite design in the show is probably this:

The 456 from the spinoff series torchwood. They didn't need the puppet to emote or move a ton since it spends the entire season in a little tank obscured in mist, so they just went crazy with the design and made it really bizarre looking. Extremely top tier alien. Anyways, negative. I really don't like this satan. the satan kind of sucks. the impossible planet is great atmospheric sci fi horror; every image of build up in it is haunting and leagues ahead of the climactic scene where he meets the satan. It singlehandedly kind of kills the vibe.

Personally I would have just kept the actual appearance off screen, just have it be eyes in the dark or something. Apparently they also tossed around the idea that it would end up being a normal little girl who was chained up in the cave and I think that would have visually fit the rest of the episode better.

I'm really not big on the modern design for the sea devils (the green one on the right). I think the classic ones clearly took a lot of direct influence from real animals and generally is a pretty thoughtfully realized design, the modern ones seem like they were first and foremost using the classic ones for reference and didn't quite capture the nuance of the design. Sad, as I would really like to see design for these guys with modern puppetry.

I think this is actually a pretty contentious opinion but the work of the specific studio who headed this redesign generally wasn't my favorite. Apparently there was some sort of major, semi public falling out between the fx studio that had been working on the show since 2005 and the people who started running the show in 2018, and they were briefly replaced with a much less experienced studio. No hate to them of course (I think this was actually their first job like, ever, and a lot of the work was done in crunch time?) but the difference did stand out to me:

Some of these songs are very gory as far as music videos because Halloween obviously but I just wanted to give a heads up. Like, watching Black or White again after so many years I had my mouth hanging open for half the mv because of how gory and actually stomach turning it is. Along with 1NB Where U At. Also the Witch mv actually scares me and I’ve seen it once and that’s it. It spooks me so much and I don’t know why. Also also, even tho I don’t listen to Vixx I’m not doubting that they are the kings of horror concepts

[mqfx]

unrelated to current fl hysteria (well, a Iittle bit) but I really love the contrast between mulian and fenglian and the ship dynamics say a lot about mq and fx's characters respectively

with mulian there's an insurmountable gap full of things left unsaid. it's most often depicted as a distant kind of love--mq admires xl so much but has internalized other people's low opinion of him so the connection is fraught and strained and it's complicated by feelings of inferiority and insecurity. most importantly it's usually one-sided because as much as mq feels a lot, he rarely communicates this plainly. he's so closed off that he can't let anyone else in

with fenglian is the exact opposite, which is inseparability. puppy love is a funny name for it: a dog and its master are leagues apart but the dog doesn't care; it always follows anyway. their love is simple and total devotion. what makes their later separation all the more heartbreaking is that he'd given up all of himself. fx loves xl so much that he can't let go and would've never been the first to quit. fx is so open that it's other people who choose to walk away first

[lgbt-cishet-movie-tournament]

The loser is either too queer to be a cishet movie or too cishet to be queer...

How is it cishet media?

LXG: Okay listen. League of extraordinary gentlemen is a very cishet movie I ADMIT IT. A chunk of the plot consists of like three (four?) men competing to fuck the female lead. Which btw is so very funny to me. Reverse harem.

VP: Cishet romance good vs evil plot AND the main character is a priest. The movie I'm talking about is The Velocipastor (2018) of course

How is it lgbt?

LXG: Let’s see: Dorian Gray is in it, being fabulous as always, and he’s bi in the original book (and in the movie novelization, he admits to having fucked Oscar Wilde). Mina Harker is in it, and she’s bi in the comics, also she serves so much cunt because when she’s not dressing lowkey masc she’s dressing highkey goth. Henry Jekyll is in it and he’s the wettest drenchedest little slut as always ofc. My brain automatically edits top surgery scars onto Mr. Hyde’s tits whenever hes onscreen (hes never not shirtless) (hes never not a whore) . Your honor theyre all bi and slutty!!!!!

VP: It's camp to me. The only sex scene is a montage of the main characters (a sex worker and titular velocipastor) bonding over the course of the movie. MAJOR FLASH WARNING but you can find it here https://youtu.be/Wp9hcCFEgOw . It's a low budget film (some of the FX is literally just text on a screen telling you what's there) where you can tell everyone involved is having fun with it and it's one of my favorite things ever. I've heard white gay people on tumblr love subverting christian imagery soooo there's that too
