I saw a screenshot of this episode, and I was reminded that I rewatched it (and recorded some scenes) last month. Anyway, just thought some of you might want to see it.

(edit: added the tag "out of context detco dub" to all the related videos on my blog for easier searching)

Listen, if and when we get a Luigi's Mansion Movie I don't want to hear a single pop song. I can grit my teeth and bear it in The Mario Bros. Movie, but the soundtrack for Luigi's Mansion had better be filled with so much creepy piano and dissonant chords and tremolo played on so many strings in such a minor key that Danny Elfman would be like "tone it down a little."

I JUST REWATCHED PIWON MOVIE AND I HAVE THINGS TO SAY

[swordbreakerz]

late night thinking about I saw the tv glow (listening to the soundtrack) and something alex said after we finished it and had started to recover speech functions is that, like the passenger, this is a movie where u simultaneously want to watch it 10 more times and also never ever watch it again and like. God, truly, physically I COULD watch this movie again but emotionally?????? Imagine the toll

Something I love about S1 Ep 19 Terminal (aside from like, All Of It), is that it gives you just like, a hint of how Tron’s Repurposing might’ve been handled if we had gotten season 2+. Like, right here

The repurposing code gets so close to entering but we never see it actually go into him. This was so purposeful I’m CERTAIN that it was going to be a plot point in later seasons. They throw you off in the moment with “It’s still me, I’m okay” (heart-wrenching, I’m gonna punch a wall), only to hit you with a season(s)-long b-plot of Tron fighting against the repurposing code (and ultimately losing) (because this man can NOT catch a break apparently).

I really shouldn't be so afraid to post this, but this one post has bothered me enough to the point where I just had to rant about it. I won't be surprised if this post results in a lot of followers dumping my ass. There's another controversial rant post I'm gonna make soon, so I guess this is a good enough warm-up.

It does take a lot of mental gymnastics to make "Rules for thee, not for me" sound justifiable.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Also, I don't think that equity is working out very well right now with the race-bent Snow White.

Side-note: Snow White's fucking name comes from the in-story explanation: "skin as white as snow". But that's not something we should respect right!

Just imagine the number of hopeful girls who would've been honored to have been chosen for the role of Disney's first-ever princess and would have shown so much more respect for the role and the story than this. I'd hope the social brownie points were worth it, but most people are actually seeing this lady for what she truly is.

Hell, the bigger problem nowadays is how most Disney Princesses are being given the same feminist story beats, being strong independent women who don't need no man and are also total girl bosses. Sure, just gut out the story in the name of "progression". And slowly make the Disney Princesses a "progressive" hive mind.

Also, there's the whole Nani controversy that really shows how skewed the priorities are of everyone who advocates for blackwashing established white characters.

Nani being dark-skinned isn't crucial to the story, though. Her actress is still a native Hawaiian, which is objectively the more important representative aspect of casting in a movie set in Hawaii with Hawaiian culture being heavily featured.

Look, personally I'd advocate for casting people who actually look like the characters they're portraying if these live-action remakes must be a thing.

But clearly the Hollywood execs don't agree. So this casting doesn't bother me. If anything, I find it hilarious - especially after seeing everyone throw a hissy fit over this. It showcases their hypocrisy, as these are the same people who were all "CHANGING ARIEL'S SKIN COLOR DOESN'T MATTER YOU BIGOTS". On top of that, these people are actually wishing harm on this actress, solely over her skin color.

Let me guess, though. It isn't really racism if colored people oppress and threaten and harm white people, right? By this logic, it's just a matter of ~equity~ that fair-skinned folk are subjected to the same prejudice. For fuck's sake.

Nah, let's just normalize the concept that no one can relate to a character unless said character looks just like them. Let's encourage kids to embrace narcissism and refuse to find commonalities in characters that don't physically resemble them in any way.

Because apparently it doesn't matter that I can't see myself and my mother in Tiana, even though her driven, workaholic underdog story resonates with us. But because we're not black, we're not allowed to feel a kinship. It's inconceivable for a little girl to feel that she, for what she is on the inside, can relate to a Disney Princess that she shares no physical traits with.

Maybe I'm just crazy for believing we should focus more on who we are than what we are. Maybe I'm a monster for discouraging indulgence in narcissistic behavior. Am I a bigot for rolling my eyes every time I hear a cry for "MUH REPRESENTATION"?

I like to think I'm not. But society is so heavily fucked in so many ways these days. So much that I'm actually afraid to post this publicly.

But I shouldn't be afraid to speak my mind when I see bullshit being glorified. So I'm gonna give my piece, come what may.

I finally watched Descendants: The Rise of Red and I am........... deeply baffled and confused by so many of the storytelling choices they made here........................... But I think *puts on tinfoil hat* they could be able to save it if they have the sequel they alluded to go something like:

Red, who grew up with an abusive parent and does not at all know how to be a good little sweethearted Auradon princess, goes through her "Mal breaks down from the pressure and goes back to the Isle" arc with the added complication that she's living with someone who is a stranger to her, and she has to be a disappointment to her mother AGAIN in horrible new ways.

Meanwhile, Chloe realizes that something is DEEPLY wrong with HER OWN home situation now. Maybe Cinderella isn't married to Charming, because she was grounded on the night of the dance (because of Chloe breaking the vase) and couldn't be there to fall in love with him. So Chloe goes to meet Red and convinces her to go back in time again to fix what they messed up the first time.

Blah blah, blah blah, plot, music numbers, fight scenes with way too many unnecessary flips and somersaults, a new wig for Chloe in every scene for no discernible reason. They save the day! They find a way to get Ella to the dance AND prevent the prank on Bridget! But because of what happened the last time, they decide to check that everything's fixed with the looking glass before they hop back to the present.

And they realize that everything has gone back to the way it went the first time, before they jumped back in time at all! Because it turns out that one single prank from a group of people who already hated her WASN'T the straw that broke Bridget's back. It was the fact that her best friend Ella got a boyfriend, married into money, and dropped her entirely, leaving her friendless and vulnerable in a world of people that hate her! Red and Chloe prevented the one prank at Castlecoming, but did NOTHING to prevent further retaliation, and if Ella went to the dance and fell in love with Charming, she doesn't bother to be there to protect or console her friend in the aftermath.

And now Red and Chloe know what they have to do: They have to save their mothers' friendship in order to save Auradon! Because love and friendship and support in hard times is what REALLY saves the day, NOT stopping a few horrible people from doing ONE horrible thing and then dipping out because it's all good now.

They go back to the present, Red tells her mom the truth of what happened, they hug (and the Queen of Hearts mourns the daughter that SHE remembers raising who she is never going to see again, but shh, this is a Disney movie so that bit's glossed over and tossed to people like me who think WAY to hard about the implications of kids movies). In this timeline, Ella and Bridget remember meeting Chloe and Red in the past, because it isn't immediately overshadowed by meeting the love of her life/losing her best friend. Everyone reconciles, and the moms tell their kids that they're proud of them.

Cue big sappy dance number that actually feels earned this time rather than being a payoff for absolutely nothing, and then some little thing goes wrong in the background of the dance number and this time either Red or Chloe gets to say the sequel-baity "Oh, you didn't think this was the end of the story, did you?" line while looking right into the camera. Credits roll to the sound of another China-Anne McClain cover of a classic Disney song despite the fact that Uma was barely in the movie because she's the only cast member who can actually sing.

THE END!
