reading this post was like watching this show get shot to death with an assault rifle in real time

gonna tell you the truth brother. this is not a sentence I love to hear from the writer of a show

#star wars has been dogshit for years #it hasnt been good since the prequels WHICH I WILL DEFEND #the prequels werent good movies but they WERE good star wars movies #the sequels were just bad #the shows have all been bad and the mandalorian is PASSABLE #and this is literally the quickest and most effective way to give it a miserably slow death #but this also does not surprise me at all #you can call me “blinded by nostalgia” if you like but the truth is i am not really nostalgic im just a bitch about bad writing #and star wars has been boring and bad for a while #the old movies and the prequels were corny and cheesy #and thats why theyre so good #disney's star wars are soulless nostalgia cash grabs #and the good parts of them are vastly overshadowed by the bad

do you know what? no, i do not understand. no, i have no benefits left for the doubts. no, i will not adhere to voices of reason. i will rage. i will riot. and i deserve a moment of selfishness--you, have not, in fact, lived up to expectations, and i will not make any more excuses. i am entitled to this disappointment.

#don't ask me what this is #i just saw a post where someone pointed out that a sequel to any long running media form shouldn't have to sacrifice depth for simplicity #or general audiences #because if it was a book #we wouldn't accept such dumbing down of the narrative to suit new readers--because aren't you writing FOR the established readers?#and they were right #i'm mad again #but i'm also just having a bad day lmfaooo #veilguard critical #dragon age critical #datv #dragon age #but also this just applies to everything tbh

Zutaras are really the original self-insert, "we understand the story soooooo much better than everybody else" girlies and they just never moved on

#anti zutara #no offense to anyone who ships it and follows me but I'm so over the shipping wars of this show that aired almost 20 years ago 😭#at some point you guys are gonna need to hang it up cause there's a sequel series and these people are married with children like...#we get it if you were Katara you would've chosen Zuko but guess what?! you aren't and need to stop projecting onto her #the pretending to care about Katara is what really gets me cause she's never even implied to have romantic feelings for him #or vice-versa + it ignores her anger towards him and how long it took her to forgive him + rightfully so #criticizing the writing for Kataang is one thing but turning around and shipping Zutara while doing so is crazy work #ship it if you want but please stop pretending it makes more sense when both Zuko and Katara have their own separate romances 😭#love how people have to age Aang down + infantilize him and erase Mai to make it work but sure it's the better option #stop erasing Katara's arc and development just to claim that Aang brings her down when she's been a bad-ass since season 1 #reducing her arc to that ONE moment with Zuko and ignoring all of her other development just to prop up a ship is nasty #Katara isn't a reward for Aang and she sure as hell isn't one for Zuko stop belittling her like that #if y'all didn't watch ATLA when you were 12 and think Zuko was cute this ship wouldn't even exist #thinking about that post that said the writers /pandered to dudebros/ like we all weren't children the delusion is crazy sdfssdfsdfsd #also seeing AANG of all characters getting whacked for a ship...please get a life and stay away from him #antizutara

Pretty much every Mischief (and Mischief-adjacent) work: at least one character with father issues (or parental issues in general) that are dragged out for as long as possible and maybe there's some kind of a resolution at the end...maybe...

Pretty much every MMNI episode: "sure dad, I'll instantly forgive all the crap you've been putting me through throughout my formative years up to and including literally murdering me, FAMILY HUGS AND SING-ALONG TIME!"

#act two ramblings #mischief theatre #mmni #to quote Oscar: I'm not saying it's good or bad I just thought it was worth commenting on #like I know they're often left with literal seconds to try and wrap everything up in MMNI but...really...#some of those fathers were forgiven way too easily...#I think the only one that wasn't was Harry Kershaw in Croydonosaurus #and that's literally only because we never got the sequel...#this honestly isn't meant as any kind of criticism #it's just that listening to Les Whisperables and then watching both parts of Look Out is certainly an experience...#you know that MMNI post that's like “imagine the fan discourse if these were real movies”?#I feel like this is something that post was referring to...#Like this would absolutely be the subject of intense fan discourse if these were real movies...

I'll discuss this later but I honestly think Jurassic World saved the franchise.

#obviously the original film never needed assistance ahd never will #but BOTH sequels were just...Sequels #and I know “we can make this a FRANCHISE” is generally Bad #but JP was kinda doomed to that from the start #and JW SUCCEEDING is where the credit is due

this all being said about the light dragon and how it is definitely the biggest highlight of totk (for me at least), i Do think a lot of the reaction to it Is dependent on botw and zelda's characterisation from that game... a lot of which is kind of lacking in totk because of her more passive role (e.g. you are told about her + see her actions after they have already happened)

like. if you didn't already really like zelda and were sold on her relationship with link (and not even just from a shipping zelink perspective, like. just UNDERSTANDING they have a strong bond from everything they've gone through together) then i'm not sure if any of that stuff in totk would've hit as hard as it did. the game does very little to build on what we already know about them, which i think is both a letdown to new players (which. i am not sure why they are playing the sequel before botw, but that is how totk acts most of the time lmao) and returning ones, and as time goes on it's become harder for me to blame people for not caring for it as much.

what a truly odd game

#which also makes it bizarre that totk treats itself like its Not a sequel. even though it is at the same time #ugh the names are escaping me but i am pretty sure this is a thing thats happened in other Sequel games too #just acting like the first one never happened or only when its convenient. stuff like that #i would loveeee to know how bad covid hit totks plot development or whatever. if anything. else they may have been planning #theyve gone on record saying that apparently the plan was for zelda to Always have turned into a dragon #and assumedly the beginning/ending parallel as well (eg hands and link catching her)#but i have to assume or at least HOPE that the buildup may have been stronger. idk man its so strange truly #ANYWAY SORRY FOR RAMBLING but i do find this discussion intriguing. and i LIKED totk even despite my criticisms #its genuinely some of the most fun ive had in a video game ever and creating content for it and talking about it has made me very happy #this being said. there are some choices that were made and i do not and likely will not ever understand them #because they said nah we're done now. bye <3 #like oh okay. thank you aonuma. can i at least have wind waker on switch now please #personal.txt

oh so knight rider 2000 is like, dogshit dogshit huh

#liz blogs #kr #knight rider #knight rider 2000 #1/10 and it only gets a point because kitt is a downright Bitch in this movie and he deserves to be #he has a right to be sassy and bully michael for leaving him actually. what the fuck #they really karr'd him huh. they really just left him collecting dust for a Decade with nothing to do huh.#which tells me that either michael chose not to take him with. or the foundation just kept him around for funsies ??? dude thats torture #kitt is a person i hate when people dehumanize him especially the literal writers. devon and michael would not do that to him #oh this movie is dooooog shit. its bad. it sucks so bad.#running trend of every knight rider show/movie after the og series to completely not fucking understand knight rider #you were right david. the og series really is the only thing worth watching #and dont talk to me about devon going out in such an. undeserving way. the man was a legend what the fuck was that #much like roosevelt. death could only take him unconscious. otherwise that old man would have fucked him up im sure #so low budget there's barely any good stunts either. smfh #i hate you sequel media that does not even remotely respect the characters their relationships or their fans i hate you to death #ive been having a rough couple of days man and now. what did they do to my boys </3 #second worst movie ive ever watched actually

me finishing a good story: wow i need more of this immediately *opens ao3*

me finishing a GREAT story: wow. *doesnt even think about consuming anything else for the next 3 days*

#you know its a good story when you need cooldown time after. for everything to fully settle in #also i know tumblr hates the phrase 'consuming media' but. yall also love cannibalism as a metaphor for love so. which is it #consuming as in making it part of me forever. as in tearing it open and savouring every component of it. consuming as in devouring #(and this too is orv) who said that #anyway i just watched 2 anime that were the latter and the former respectively. really funny experience #currently itching to get on ao3 and just suddenly realizing that i watched madoka magica this week #and not only did ao3 not even cross my mind but. i actually didnt even watch the sequel. i just wanted to sit with the ending for a while #insane. i didnt even think about ao3???? i think the only other time thats happened was. fmab #maybe fruits basket......#also the ending of orv but i certainly went to ao3 before that (bad idea) (so many spoilers)#i feel like i need to graph like. how good a piece of media is vs how badly i wanna see fan content of it #i think it would be an interesting shape #wow i went on a lot of tangents on this one. wheeeee its 4am ✨️#biggie tumbles

It's difficult to describe growing up my entire life thinking my copy of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 was in fact simply All Dogs Go To Heaven.

The last thing I remember from this property was watching An All Dogs Christmas Carol.

I have located the first movie, which I have never seen.

THE TONE SHIFT. IS. RATHER JARRING, FOLKS.

Imagine if you always thought that The Secret of Nimh 2 was the actual movie The Secret of Nimh... and then one day you saw the original.

#original #all dogs go to heaven #don bluth #dom deluise #what the FUCK is going on?? did this dog jusf a #*did this dog just ADOPT A HUMAN CHILD #I'll be honest I'm skimming because I'm afraid of getting too sad right before bed.#it is by its nature about dogs dying so #but also it about HELL maybe #so #I mean so is the 2nd one but there were some weird 90s animated animal sequel Vibes that are a different flavor to this #this is like some secret of nimh shit. don bluth you old rascal you!#as I remember at the original secret of nimh is a super dark intense SCARY animated kids movie that I grew up on and have fond feelings on #and the sequel to this chilling tale of animal experimentation and mutation and torture and magic...#a big ol' MUSICAL with funny animal friends! - mind you it has been a minute...#the secret of nimh #secret of nimh #I remember the animation being fucking beautiful. I'll have to check it out again.#okay great [sarcasm] it's time for some racist animation bc ofc it is. skipping ahead to cat satan....#oh jesus even on fast forward this is very bad #this dog is her dad i giess #*i guess #that's fine. i mean he's a bad father but #is Charlie a fucking mob boss what is happening i skipped too far ahead i will watch it thru later the edibles haaave hit #omg charlie is a terrible father #unrelated but the way they animate this anthro dog in this movie would have turned me into a furry for sure if i had seen it as a kid #which if anything is a missed opportunity. I'd probably be a better artist if i was! someday they'll accept my application...😤#these dogs are gay

There are still people that think Life is Strange is a genuinely good game???

#it has some of the worst dialogue in existence #literally one of the first things it does is bash on a woman for being too much of a ''girly girl'' and getting male attention #the choice thing doesn't matter because the ending undoes it all #anti life is strange #it was always bad #the sequel being bad makes sense because it is Bad #people only liked it because of the sapphics #and chloe is a fucking horrible person #toxic af #of course she and max didn't work out they were codependent teens #it is a surface level not like other girls YA fantasy #steeped in sexism #even the romance of chloe and max is lacking #life is strange #is the sequel even bad or is just not doing what you wanted it to

I feel like Korra gets hated on too much. I also think it has the better antagonists IMO. They were so much more complex and during each arc korra learned from them and expanded her viewpoints. like the equalists and Zaheer were right in a way but they went about achieving their goals by hurting others

#the romance was so cringe though and I want better for bolin.#gwon #I also think it works well as a narrative sequel #aang fought the big bad that was just evil for evils sake #and then korra fought people who were evil for a reason

REYLO /lh

🫵🫵🫵

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#/lh #but yeah 😭#IN MY DEFENSE. I WAS TEN AND STUPID #and my irls were enabling me #really. it's what got me into fandom spaces in the first place #(at ten years old)#at first i was just reading fics without an account but i wanted to keep up with one specific one #so i made a wattpad account #then an amino account #interestingly enough amino wasn't that traumatizing for me #wattpad was actually bad for me. looking back. i was getting into all sorts of bad situations 😭#but yeahh i have mixed feelings about reylo now because if it was in the context of a different franchise with a mature audience -#- i wouldn't care #but the sequel series IS made with a lot of very young people in mind (example ME 😭😭)#and people trying to say that reylo was not toxic AT ALL kinda messed with my understanding of romance at the time 😭#my current ships are obviously more toxic but the difference is 1) im older now and can understand that shouldn't be replicated irl #and 2) those ships are in series that are primarily for more mature audiences #anyway rant over 😭#asks

my hsmtmts hot take is that the show was better when olivia left (not her fault, i just think s3-4 are the better seasons)

#and no not just bc of gay #hsmtmts #more characters were explored with important plot lines. while s1 especially had Some Stereotypes #the comedy (i found) was less pandering as the show went on #they made fun of itself more than the original trilogy (although both had some shots at both)#quinn having not seen hsm was! bad! as opposed to carlos only seeing the first 5 mins of the sequels (seriously i hated that line)#not that the show was bad. i just think it is better #also nini as a character i don’t find super interesting (that’s just me tho)
