teen wolf meme: [3/6] creatures -> kitsune
There are thirteen kinds of Kitsune: celestial, wild, ocean, thunder... But there is one, a dark Kitsune. They call it void, or Nogitsune.
#teen wolf#kitsune#kira yukimura#nogitsune#noshiko yukimura#twedit#twgifs#mine#my gifs#twmeme#kitsune my beloveds#we should have gotten more of noshiko#actually they should have just treated all the yukimuras better#kira's tail should have had more impact on the story#i know noshiko only had like 13 tails or smth after being alive for 900 years so it wouldn't make sense for kira to get another one#during the run of the show BUT what they did do with her tail like her father using it to bring her back in season 5 had so much potential#they should have done more with it is all i want honestly#i'm gonna sound like a broken record for all these creature ones but the kitsune are soooo cool within the show#would have been great if they didn't use japanese imagery like that tho#not even gonna touch on how the movie messed up so much of the mythology and changed stuff i'll get angry#just know i love them

jim carrey as gerald also sucks btw . i already didnt think he was a particularly good choice for eggman because it feels like hes just playing himself and not eggman but seeing them take a character whos entire deal is being long dead but still impacting the story through his grief driven actions and bring him back to life and make him a main character and also turn him into a silly jim carrey character is making me turn into the joker
#also skinny eggman just inherently sucks no matter what actor it is#the casting for the game characters in sonic 3 is just so bad lmao . except for maria i feel like shes hard to mess up#and even if they do mess her up somehow alyla browne is what. 14. im not hating on a child actor. she gets a free pass here .#well its not even just the third movie tbh#the only game character id say is actually really well casted is tails and they just kept his game va for him#the others are either not great or are fine but also nothign special compared to other people who have played the same character#anyway i do think eggman and gerald being played by the same actor makes sense becuase theyre supposed to look and sound similar#its more the fact that its jim carrey specifically. i was honestly kind of hoping he did retire for real#i would have preferred an eggman-less movie over this. like i know an sa2 adaptation without eggman would be weird#because sa2 is so focused on the robotnik family (and yes i am including shadow in that) . but god . this sucks so bad .#not to mention the fact that gerald is seemingly taking rouge's spot in the dark story trio. hello. who approved this garbage#i need this movie to flop so bad but i know realistically that it wont

Reblog this and let me know in the tags, is there a videogame that you think would have an amazing videogame adaptation but hasn't gotten one?
#these past few years theres been a ton of video game adaptations put into movies and honestly? *some* were good.#we got the sonic movies and the mario movie and both of those were good#but... the minecraft movie is also coming out of this#me personally I'd love to see portal adapted into a movie but yknow. done well.#as in they dont make chell whitewashed or talk. or take away the original plot. i think it would be pretty fun#dark deception would also make for a great movie#trypo.txt#trypo-p#video games#movies

The more time I spend explaining Tolkien lore to my brother the more I realize that Tolkien was just batshit insane
#yes the world is flat and a globe at the same time#and yes if you go off the edge you fall into the void with Satan 1.0 (assuming the Straight Road doesn't just railroad you)#he calls Valinor “The place under some trees where everyone smokes weed” and honestly I wish they would do that instead#bilbo and frodo bring weed to valinor quick#i tried to explain the miriel-finwe situation and he's so confused#“so they died and they were all sad even though they didn't have to stay dead?? but she couldn't come back because he remarried??”#“but then he dies and says 'yo ill stay dead instead' and she's find now??”#does the big God just keep making elf and human souls or do they just. appear#i told him about Gil-Galad Son of Plothole#he is quickly realizing that yes#the valar are a bit incompetent#its fine#elrond's dad is a star his mom is a bird and his great great grandma is an angel#my sister gave up two seconds in despite sparking this by asking me about elf lore#apparently she actually just wants to know about legolas but not legolas' father because of the hobbit movies#let me rant about feanorian politics it'll be interesting i promise#shut up about your elf backflips you wanna hear about nirnaeth arnoediad and the kinslayings#tolkien#lotr#lord of the rings#silmarillion#the silm#is this a shitpost? idk#he's batshit insane but the world is great i love it#we still don't know where hobbits come from#they appeared one day#like potatoes#i had one tidbit of legolas lore and that was#the guy showed up several years late in a homemade boat with a dwarf#incomprehensible screaming

I am not far into Dead Boy Detectives, but if they talk one more time about leaving Port Townsend on the ferry, I might ragequit. It's just VERY clear how this wasn't just filmed in BC, but quite possibly the makers never even visited Port Townsend or done a maps search to figure out how to get there.
Port Townsend has one (1) ferry, and the Kennewick only goes to Coupeville on Whidbey Island. You will not get to any major airport that way.
I know it doesn't sound as cool or whatever, but take the bus, kids.
#this is apparently a sore spot for me#I get that its TV and shit#it just gets to me when location-specific plot-sensitive elements in a story are incorrect#it can be filmed in a different place and be obviously wrong and that's fine whatever but please don't make it matter to the plot#same thing pissed me off enormously with the Boys in the Boat movie#that not being filmed in an environment even vaguely similar to where most of that story happened#for that one honestly it would have been great if they'd filmed in it in BC#but there are plot elements (like why the team is good in open water) that don't make sense because they filmed it on English canals#personal gripes#dead boy detectives

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-
My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.
We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.
#Wish#Queen Amaya#I assume I'm going to get hate for this but like#I know it's not store bought and you have to still make it yourself but also#I'm kind of just tired of seeing a lot of people sh*tting on Wish because it's not the concept art#And I'm kind of over here like how about we love it recognize it has flaws and THEN try to make something new without bashing the OG?#I just love Amaya and she definitely deserves more#but her good character is so interesting and complex#she still knows how to have fun. She still can be sassy or bite.#Like she's still Magnifico's perfect partner you know? and Magnifico isn't perfect?#A truly pure person wouldn't click with Magnifico the way Amaya does...?#I would rather build on Amaya's character than say she can only be good and boring or a villain?#Amaya is so smart yall. I know you can't see it all just on the movie but like she's read every magic book in Magnifico's library#THOUSANDS OF BOOKS.#And knows basic protection spells#She's a devoted leader.#Like.#Idk#She both loves her husband and recognizes that she has to go against him.#She doesn't /turn/ on him. She addresses his flaws and tells him that it's not okay?#She still jokes with him even though she has to put him in time out. She's complex and strong and wise and kind.#And I just hate seeing so many people so quick to just say 'the concept art was better' when like... the idea might be more appealing to yo#But I hate the level of cynicism and pretentiousness I see of people saying their personal ideas of what Wish should be-#-Is better than the piece of media they claim to care about?#Like their personal vision of Wish based exclusively off the concept art is somehow intellectually superior?#And I'm not saying stop doing your rewrites or AU's or anything! Like there's definitely beautiful creativity happening!#I just hate seeing people so negative and like honestly mean. It hurts my heart to see everyone calling Wish garbage?#It's not great but I really really dont think it's as bad as everyone is saying. Like its no like Oppenheimer but it's a children's movie..#Like I personally love the Teens and Amaya#And everyone saying they stink makes me sad... Because they're just great characters?

Late Night with the Devil feels like a V/H/S segment that escaped captivity
#dumb stuff#horror movies#late night with the devil#yes i saw it. it was at a cult movie showing so i felt a little better knowing i was at least giving money to the theater#they do a bunch of cool special events and show movies that are hard to see#also they have booze 😎👍#still stewing on this. take the v/h/s comment however you like#i love the v/h/s movies but they usually get reeeally weird or nasty or both and that's why i like them#lnwtd gets surreal and weird by the end but the costuming and effects kind of make it feel corny#and you think with a concept like this that the gore would be crazy too. not really? there's a face melt but it's hard to see and kinda bad#also it just. stops. it starts with a documentary introduction but drops it immediately - no follow-up whatsoever#at least Dastmalchian was great. put him in more horror movies (and anything honestly) immediately

Hey, wanna hear some unnecessary thoughts about Lemon from someone who’s watched Thomas?
Lemon mentions that the Momomon anime airs every Thursday at 9 AM after Thomas airs. But what specific Thomas show and season? I wonder. The short answer? Well, my closest guess is probably Thomas and Friends: Big World Big Adventures (aka “BWBA”) which is the 22nd - 24th seasons of Thomas. But more specifically, it may have been in its 23rd season airing in Japan during 2020.
From what I gather from the film’s adaptation of Lemon, he strikes me as someone who was a fan of the classic series of the model era (early season stuff, series 1-5) and grew up with it. The CGI era however is complex with its history and he seems more of an on-and-off watcher of it, he still appreciates the Thomas series even if he doesn’t watch the newer series as much as he did as he was younger (and BWBA doesn’t have the same caliber and direction as the previous Thomas series)
In the novel, it’s very clear that Lemon has watched up until s7 of Thomas, which was in its model era in the 2000s.
I think it tracks because even if it’s the CGI series, which is more modern and has a LOT of differences, I think Lemon would still be interested in watching it to some extent even if the newer stuff doesn’t hit as hard as the classic series he watched.
The long answer? If you’re a fuckin nerd and want to read I can indulge you.
A lot of this is just purely from my observation and my own take (and this is just silly so I really hope you know that).
Bullet Train started its production in October of 2020 - which I’m going to assume is when and where the movie takes place in because the majority was shot during that time - and incidentally, that same month Mattel had announced that Thomas was getting a brand new reboot called All Engines Go, which is a 2D animated production.
Thomas has a few distinctive mediums on television and it’s divided into the model series, CGI series and AEG, which is its own thing. Lemon obviously is shown to have grown up watching Thomas so he’s more versed in the model series and its characters.
Fun fact: In the novel, he mentions a few more characters who appear not only in early seasons but also season 7.
#this is not like my other posts but i felt the need to know as someone who has knowledge on both media#i think he'd still watch the cgi series but not have as much interest in it as the older series but hey it's thomas smiles#i think he'd have an aneurysm arguing about the logic of tatmr and aeg but ultimately he'd stay away from that debate lol#he strikes me as someone who knows more about the characters and personalities and what they convey to him rather than their irl train basis#i'm sad the twin engine allegories from the novel didn't make it into the movie - it would have been great for them too#bullet train#ttte#thomas the tank engine#thomas and friends#oh also i worded this post for the normies so insane thomas fans dw about it#i'll never make a post like this again but could you imagine that 3 different people approached me to tell me to watch this movie#i wasn't disappointed this movie was made for me#honestly i think lemon is better off watching bwba than aeg bc aeg is. so different#fauxtrainpost.txt#ok that's all go home don't screenshot this ok? ok

will you guys hate me if i say i don't think the mean girls movie was that bad
#3 out of 5#i saw some people hating it for using tiktok but honestly any movie that wants to say anything about being a teenager these days#would be remiss if they didn't include tiktok and social media. it's literally an inescapable part of life these days.#especially when the movie is about social pressures lmao#that being said the songs were not great#and i wish they could say a joke and not immediately follow it up with a line to make sure you know that it was a joke#also side note. if this movie had come out when i was 14 it would have been my entire personality#i would have modelled my entire life after janis. even at the age of 24 i was like wow she's so cool i wish i could be her

Idk about y’all but I think Deadpool & Wolverine is putting my faith back into Marvel a little because it was honestly one of the best Marvel movies I’ve seen in a hot minute
Spoilers/rant in tags!!! 🏷️
#spoilers in tags fair warning!!!#rant in tags fair warning!!!#relatable#lol#a day in star’s wacky life#deadpool & wolverine#Deadpool 3#okay so my opinion lately on Marvel stuff is that everything’s been going downhill since Endgame (a very basic opinion but idc)#like I did not like Endgame; Eternals was visually beautiful but not good in other aspects;#and I feel like Marvel movies now are made to be a ‘watch once and never again’ thing where you can’t rewatch movies or else it’ll worsen#over each watch which sucks because movies shouldn’t be made like that#and that now it’s obviously becoming a ploy to make money over quality stuff#but idk Deadpool & Wolverine was so good that I know that I can watch again and still enjoy it#like yeah there were some typical Marvel stuff in the movie (like Vanessa and Wade being broken up??? why does every Marvel couple now-#up in between movies??? they did it with so many characters to ��give them development��� but honestly it’s stupid and instead ruins a lot of-#the character development the character made in the movie before and is now just a way to make the character be like ‘im brokenhearted so-#I can’t be serious anymore and need to laugh through my pain teehee’ like no that’s dumb and I’m tired of it Marvel)#but anyways even with the few typical Marvel ‘sense of humor’ it felt more like making fun of it since it’s ya know Deadpool#and it seemed like it was something people had fun making so it made it more fun#idk I might just be falling back into the whole Marvel thing but I thought it was great and I loved seeing Channing Tatum as Gambit#like he was amazing as Gambit istg I would kill to see him be Gambit in another movie and be exactly like how he was here

Barbieland isn't "The Patriarchy But Flipped." Barbieland is what little girls imagine a world run by women is like. It's like the settings of cartoons made for girls, where girls and women are powerful and magical while men are not as important to the world but certainly not oppressed. It's the world of the original barbie movies, where barbie shines and ken is perfectly fine standing behind her, because this is a story for girls, and there are enough stories for boys. Barbieland is that Girl Power feeling of magical girl cartoons, pink footballs, and princess playtime dresses. The knowledge growing up that the gender you were being raised as used to be oppressed but clinging to an imagined and naive belief that sexism was over. But then one day you're playing on the playground and the teasing between the girls and the boys about who is better becomes sincere, and you realize that you are actually viewed as less than simply for wearing a dress. You look around your world and find that you are still surrounded by the ideas of misogyny you thought were dead and gone. It's painful, leaving Barbieland. It's painful, seeing the boys you played with grow up to hate you. It's painful, seeing girls ridicule other girls for not abandoning girliness fast enough to fit in the grown up world, as if girliness was something to ever feel ashamed of. Barbieland is simply a world where women feel comfortable to be whatever they want to be, and the fact that that idea is seen as radical makes me want to claw my teeth out.
#also imo the kens in barbieland are treated the way sexist men imagine women are treated#they are pampered and comfortable without having to worry about making decisions#meanwhile when the kens took over the barbies were literally brainwashed and servants to the kens#like honestly if you switched the roles in barbieland (not kendom like actually taking that first part of the movie and keeping it exactly#the same with kens as barbies and vice versa)#there wouldn't really be much sexism to complain about????#like the worst ig would be the fact that none of the barbies would have homes or political power but its more of a separation of gender#roles than literal intense oppression#and sure gender roles arent great but at least both sides are respected#unlike in kendom or the real world#barbie#barbie movie#intellectual monologue

favorite part in sonic 2?
i just woke up i’m about to be the most autistic person in the whole wide world but umm. spoilers ahead obviously. for me the highlight of this movie was knuckles — i fucking love him so much it’s not funny. they were like How autistic can we make this little animal. and then didn’t wait for an answer. i REALLY like that he says stupid shit like ‘i am having the fun’ and ‘how dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow’ and ‘i only saved you because you saved me, which gave you a tactical advantage i do not understand’ (i saved the quotes that made me laugh because. well this movie was pretty funny) him being so serious is fucking hilarious especially considering he Doesn’t stop saying stupid shit after his redemption. speaking of i just think his development in general is really good as well. maybe it’s cliche but i honestly don’t give a fuck, i’m always a sucker for ‘evil’ characters realizing they’re not really evil, finding a new purpose in life and getting new friends/family. the parallels with him and sonic too ….. the way he smiles and laughs at the end of the movie….. weuhh …. wauehgghh …. sniff sniff
i really liked tails as well, i enjoyed his bonding with sonic a lot (especially when they had a danceoff with the russians to uptown funk… taht was. a thinf that happened in the movie) i kind of wish he got more moments to shine and/or more time to bond with sonic? but like. i enjoyed his little autistic ass too even if we didn’t get too much of him
in terms of favorite scenes, i think mine has to be the emotional beach scene between sonic and knuckles. not only for reasons i mentioned in the first paragraph — i see an edgy little red autistic character confused about their morality and purpose and i fucking go wild with it — but also because we really get to see sonic grow and be mature as he recognizes himself in knuckles. and then they found their family …. weuhhh ….. wahh …. sniff sniff (and also i really liked the final battle scene, it’s cool as fuck, there’s a giant robot, there’s family moments and themes of Not Having To Do This Alone Anymore, what else could i possibly ask for)
i liked more stuff but personally this is everything that makes this movie just fucking awesome to me. i think they should keep making good sonic movies and release sonic 3 next month just for me because i really like shadow and want to see him
#i honestly did not expect this movie to be good At All considering that the first movie was like … kind of average? like it wasn’t Bad#or anything like that. it had its good moments …. but it wasn’t anything that i would particularly rewatch or show a friend#this one however ?? oh they went OFF they seriously should keep making good sonic movies#also i didn’t mention this because i felt it was obvious (as in who Wouldn’t like this) but i really liked eggman’s and dr stone’s#toxic gay relationship as well. eggman as always is a really great villain and i enjoy the fact he is homosexual about it#so yeah. if you’re on the fence on watching this movie like i was. i definitely recommend sonic 2#super good movie and you will not regret it and you know what? i forgive them for making it 2 hours long#cramswering#sonic 2 spoilers#i guess. if anyone’s worried about that
