Dragon Ball Super manga Ch.68-70

It’s Granolah time.

Let me start off by saying I’ve only read the first six chapters of this arc, and I can already say that this one is leagues better than the Moro saga that came before it.  I’m sure this story won’t be flawless, but seeing how much better Granolah is makes me realize just how crappy Moro was.  I thought I was being too hard on the manga, but no, the Moro arc was just a hot mess.  

Anyway, I’m digging this Granolah story, so I feel a lot better about liveblogging it.  Let’s dive in.

We open with a moody flashback of Saiyan shock troops attacking Granolah’s home planet decades ago.  Turns out this is a recurring nightmare he has. 

Granolah’s been haunted by the invasion ever since, but there’s nothing he can do about it.  Frieza wiped out the Saiyans a long time ago, and then Frieza got killed after that, so there’s no one left for Granolah to take revenge upon, even if he were powerful enough to take revenge.  When I first heard about this guy, I was skeptical of the concept, since his vendetta would be forty or fifty years old by this time.  But with Granolah, that’s the point.  He’s been holding on to this grudge the whole time, and when he gets his chance to act, he grabs it with both hands. 

Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta are still training on Beerus’ planet. Goku learned to use Ultra Instinct at will during the Moro crisis, but Whis explains that this is only the beginning.  Goku still can’t sustain UI for very long, while Merus could do it all the time.  And Whis is even better at UI than Merus was, and the Grand Minister is even better still.  So Goku has a long way to go, which is fine by him.

Vegeta, however, has no interest in learning Ultra Instinct, since he concluded some time ago that the ability doesn’t suit his tendency to overthink things.  He wants to surpass Goku in some other way, and Beerus offers him a glimmer of hope, saying that there’s more than one godly technique that he can learn.  The angels uses Ultra Instinct, but the Gods of Destruction follow a different path.  Beerus says he’s not interested in teaching Vegeta, but then he teaches him anyway, because Beerus is tsundere.  “I-it’s not like I want to teach you how to use destruction ki or anything, baka!”

Back to Granolah.  At the end of the Moro arc, we met Granolah as he was stealing Seven Three’s remains from the aliens who built him.  Seven Three was part of a whole series of similar androids, but he was the only one who spent any time in the field, so he’s a lot more powerful from the life experiences he had.  Granolah’s client, Elec, could use Seven Three as the template for an army of unstoppable androids, but that’s not why he wanted the android.  Elec’s what you might call an information broker, and he plans to mine Seven Three’s memory banks to find some useful data.

Granolah asks about his next assignment, but Elec doesn’t have any new work lined up, due to Frieza’s return to the galactic stage.  We’ve only gotten glimpses of what Frieza’s been up to since Whis re-revived him at the end of the Tournament of Power.  But apparently his activities have upset the status quo, and that’s hurting Elec’s business.  That doesn’t matter to Granolah, though, and he immediately demands to know where Freiza is.  Elec has his associates clobber him a little to get him back in line.  He convinces Granolah that he doesn’t need to run off half-cocked, and Granolah backs down and heads home.

After he leaves, the rest of Elec’s group, the Heeters, ask Elec why he would tell Granolah about Frieza at all.  They know how he feels about Frieza, so why stir the pot?  Elec explains that Granolah’s getting too powerful, and if he ever surpassed the Heeters’ strongest member, Gas, then that might lead to trouble.  The Heeters doubt that anyone could surpass Gas, but Elec still doesn’t want to take any chances.

So he wants Granolah good and riled up, so that when the time is right, he can manuever Granolah into a fight he can’t win, and Frieza will finish off Granolah for him. 

Meanwhile, on the way home, Granolah gets ambushed by one of his fellow bounty-hunter guys, who wants to steal the big payday Granolah just scored.  But Granolah has him completely outclassed.  First he uses his eye-piece/computer, Oatmeel, as a decoy, and then Granolah picks off all of this guy’s allies with his sniper technique.  Granolah’s species, the Cerealians, have a specialized right eye that gives them exceptional vision. 

So Granolah’s powerful, sure, but he’s no match for Frieza, right?  Well, Granolah plans to do something about that.  As he schemes, the Oracle Fish on Beerus’ planet has a prophetic vision that the “strongest warrior in the universe will soon rise up.”

Back to Granolah, we find that he’s still living on Planet Cereal, even after the rest of his people were wiped out by the Saiyans.  Since then, the planet has been re-populated by another species, the Sugurians, who lost their own homeworld at some point.  The Heeters brokered a deal to settle them on Cereal, and their domed cities are built right next to the ruins of the Cerealian cities.  I really like this imagery.  Like I said, I was kind of wary of the idea of an alien seeking revenge after so many decades, but this story really uses that passage of time to full effect.

Meanwhile, Beerus talks to Vegeta about the Saiyans, and Vegeta admits that their destructive tendencies led to their downfall.  Frieza accelerated the process, but his own father, King Vegeta III, is the one Vegeta holds responsible. 

I’ve often noted this, but I find Vegeta to be an unreliable narrator for Saiyan history.  In most stories, he’s literally the only one who remembers the Saiyan race, so his perspective is treated as gospel simply because there’s no one else to dispute it.  In this case, I think Vegeta’s putting too much blame on his dad.  I’m sure Vegeta I and Vegeta II bear their own responsibility, and it probably goes back even further than that.   But Vegeta III is the leader he remembers, so it makes sense he would see it that way. 

But he’s still wrong.  Remember the Super Saiyan God legend from the Battle of Gods movie.  The hero of the tale was trying to wipe out the wicked Saiyans, and he failed.  That story was so ancient that Vegeta didn’t even know about it, which just goes to show that the Saiyans’ problems are far older than his dynasty.

And I guess this is what sets off Beerus’ bullshit-meter, since he dismisses Vegeta’s answer as ridiculous.  He accuses Vegeta of putting the sins of his people on his own shoulders, and even if he were responsible, why do those old crimes have anything to do with his life now?  He then reveals that he was the one who gave Frieza the idea to destroy Planet Vegeta all those years ago.  Vegeta flies into a rage, but he can’t beat Beerus any more now than he could when they first fought on Earth.

Beerus’ point is that Vegeta will have to let go of the past if he hopes to master the style of the Gods of Destruction.  This is kind of like what Toppo had to do when he transformed into a Destroyer in the Tournament of Power.  He had been trying to avoid that step for a long time, but when he got desperate enough, he finally crossed the threshold, and Vegeta mocked him for it. 

And now Beerus is mocking Vegeta for failing to understand this.   Toppo got stronger because he put aside the irrelevancies and focused on what mattered.  Beerus says he only focuses on destruction, which keeps him sharp.  His advice to Vegeta is that he’ll have to destroy his own stray thoughts to build himself into something better.

Meanwhile, the Heeters go through Seven Three’s memory records and learn what they wanted to know: the location of Zuno, the galaxy’s greatest information broker.  But they also learn about Moro and the Dragon Balls, since Seven Three was involved with that business before he got captured.  Elec realizes that the Dragon Balls might explain how Frieza came back to life, and Macki recalls that there used to be Namekians on Planet Cereal before they got wiped out.  But Elec knows that there’s one left: Granolah’s housemate, Monaito.

Back on Cereal, Granolah discusses his latest job with Monaito, and informs him of Frieza’s return.  The two of them live in this remote house, far from the Cerealian ruins and the Sugurian cities.  Even though they’re on friendly terms with the Sugurians, they prefer to be removed from their tragic past.  I find it off that their house doesn’t look much like the Cerealian or Namekian architecture.  Maybe the Sugurians built it for them. 

Anyway, Granolah considers using the Dragon Balls to become powerful enough to defeat Frieza, but Monaito warns him that the Dragon Balls aren’t meant for revenge.  Besides, they don’t have a complete set on planet Cereal.  One is in Monaito’s house, but the other was lost a long time ago.  Wait, what?

To explain how Monaito has his own set of Dragon Balls, we cut to a lesson on New Namek, where Moori explains how Namekians have settled on other planets.  Those communities would have their own elders, just as Moori is the elder of New Namek.  And those elders would be empowered to create and maintain Dragon Balls. 

This isn’t exactly news, since this is exactly how we have Dragon Balls on Earth.  The Son of Katas came to Earth as a refugee, then eventually ascended to the role of Kami and created a set of Dragon Balls without remembering where he learned to do it.  Monaito’s basically the same deal, except he had a whole group of Namekians with him on Cereal, and he’s the only one who survived the invasion.  This story just confirms that there could be other Namekian communities in the universe, and any of them could have their own sets of Dragon Balls. 

What I find more troubling is that Monaito’s set of Dragon Balls is just a pair.  I guess there’s no rule that their must be seven, but it’s kind of weird how we’ve always seen them in groups of seven before, and yet this one is just two. 

Anyway, as fate would have it, Granolah turns on the local news and learns that some Sugarian kid just happened to find the lost ball and took it to a lab for study.  And maybe this is why they went with just two balls, in order to simplify this moment, but they could have just as easily put six Dragon Balls on Monaito’s shelf. 

So Granolah immediately makes his move, stealing the second Dragon Ball and sneaking off to make his wish.  I like the design for Cereal’s Shenron, or whatever he’s called.  The dragon is willing to grant Granolah’s wish to become the greatest warrior in the universe, but Granolah’s body isn’t sturdy enough for that kind of power.  However, the Dragon can make it possible, if Granolah is willing to accept a compromise in exchange.  Granolah doesn’t even wait to find out what it is.

Meanwhile, Vegeta has finally achieved some success in using the Hakai technique.  He can only destroy little grains of sand, but he can destroy them, which is a big accomplishment.  And he’s not going to rest on his laurels.

Satisfied that his wish has been granted, Granolah immediately heads back to the Heeter’s HQ and demands to know where he can find Frieza.  The Heeters don’t understand what’s happened to him, but Granolah quickly defeats Oil and Macki in combat, and Elec realizes that Granolah’s not just blowing smoke.  Maybe he really can defeat Frieza, but he can’t just tell him where to find Frieza, because if he loses, Frieza might take revenge on the Heeters.  So Elec asks for some information on how Granolah got this strong, and Granolah explains the Dragon Balls and the condition he had to agree to.  Normally, Cerealians live for two hundred hears, and Granolah’s 50 now, but in order to get his wish, he had to let the Dragon shorten his lifespan.  Granolah now has only three years left to live.

Elec convinces Granolah to wait on Planet Cereal while they track down Frieza’s position.  In reality, Elec hatches a scheme to neutralize Granolah first.  Elec wants Frieza out of the picture, but he’s worried that if Granolah does the job, he might wipe out Frieza’s goon squad, and Elec wants to take them over for his own organization.  Wait, why didn’t the Heeters take over the Frieza Force before, when Frieza was dead? I mean, it’s just as well that they didn’t do this, since Frieza would have returned and killed them, but they didn’t know that at the time. 

So how can Elec stop Granolah from wrecking his plans?  Simple, he’s going to get Goku and Vegeta to do it for him.  Having studied Seven Three’s records, Elec knows that the Saiyans fought Moro, and they should be powerful enough to defeat Granolah, and Granolah won’t turn down a chance to fight Saiyans, since he wants revenge against those guys too.  Elec is confident that Goku and Vegeta would win that fight, but what if he’s wrong?  Well, I guess he’s got nothing to lose by trying...

So yeah, to repeat what I said at the top, this is way, way better than the Moro arc. There’s a lot fewer characters, and their motive are more complex, and their plans aren’t nearly as convoluted.  We’re not sending Goku and Vegeta on a wild goose chase to like five different planets for this one.  No dead-end subplots about Majin Buu or those space crooks who tried to rob that space train. 

I also really like the way this story uses Frieza without featuring him in the plot.  The problem I’ve always had with bringing back Frieza is that he just does all the same stuff he did the first time around.  The only novelty to Frieza these days is less about what he’s up to, but how everyone else reacts to his return.  The Heeters, Granolah, Monaito, and the Sugarians have been trying to build a life for themselves in a post-Frieza universe, but now he’s back, and that upsets everything. 

Also, it’s refreshing to see Goku and Vegeta actually learning something on Beerus’ planet, as opposed to just sparring there as an establishing scene.  I’m looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

NOT THEM NAME DROPPING BREAKING BAD.

[salty-dracon]

I forgot to liveblog the first half of the Genshin 4.2 archon quest but it was basically a shitty natural disaster film followed by a bit of psychological horror and now we're pulling a V for Vendetta

[prongsmydeer]

Ayesha Liveblogs She-Ra S4

Loving the intro additions: Glimmer’s hair, Mara, a winged friend

Also Scorpia’s frown and Pointy Teeth Antagonist eep!!

“Must be hard celebrating, what with Angella being gone.” Not to keep harping on it, but continuously the captions on this show are incorrect!!!! They take out key words that change the meaning, like Micah saying “this woman” instead of “this young woman,” or dropping the word “celebrating” here. It is a problem!! 

“The moonstone’s elemental power has been balanced between you and your mother since you were born.” Oooh world-building!

HAHAHAHA Glimmer asking Mermista to do the flowers just because she’s standing in front of her while Perfuma sobs in the background

“But she didn’t betray us, she just wanted us to save us from the portal [...]” “Entrapta betrayed Hordak!” Catra doubles down on the lies. I wonder how many problems would be solved on this show if Catra were capable of sharing attention

“And we’re bad at quests.” Harsh but fair, Glimmer:

“Recharging would mean taking the moonstone’s full power for myself. It would mean admitting that she’s really gone.” Oh Glimmer 💔

It’s very touching how these three are trying to navigate grief 

“I wish I didn’t have to leave you. But I know you will be alright. Because you are Glimmer, and you are so, so strong.” ANGELLA 😭😭😭

One episode into the season and I am already so emotional about this:

LMAO @ BOW THINKING PERFUMA’S USING METAPHORS TO TALK ABOUT HOW SHE DOESN’T GET HUNTARA BUT REALLY SHE’S GOT A VENDETTA AGAINST CACTI

“Huntara can track anything in the Waste,” said Huntara, about herself

“I don’t like not fighting.” HAHAHHA Huntara cracks me up

This lizard character reminds me of that creature from the Witcher series that like, eats faces lol 

“And I was definitely wrong about you, flower girl!” <3 <3 <3 Love Perfuma

I’ve been thinking this since they revealed Adora was a First One last season but surely if, as the Glowing Teamwork implies, She-Ra and the Princesses can tap into each other’s power, they must also be First Ones? Or at the very least, descendants of/connected to First Ones? Perfuma called it a gift, is this like a Sleeping Beauty and her Fairy God Mothers situation

[To Huntara] “I’ve grown fond of this desert rose.” I don’t precisely know everyone’s ages here but Perfuma has chemistry with everyone she meets. Bow, Mermista, Huntara, I could be swayed for anyone

“I’d like to introduce you to Double Trouble. They’re our newest asset in taking down the Rebellion.” If I had a nickel for every time a blue-green reptile-adjacent doppleganger working towards the downfall of society was referred to as “they” in both the multiple sense and the non-binary sense in a Netflix show, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it is weird that it happened twice

Hordak thinks it’s Entrapta who is providing the rebellion with tech when in fact it is Best Boy Bow

Bow’s little “Hey,” and fragile expression when the kids are impressed by his arrows awwww:

Hahahaha when Adora and Bow soft gasp in unison and then Bow grabs Adora by the face. It’s Corey and Shawn from BMW energy. I will not elaborate

Introducing Flutterina who wants to join the Rebellion RIGHT AFTER inducting Double Trouble into the Horde is suspicious ngl

“I always say, ‘Cautious today, here tomorrow.’” I feel like regardless of the potential PTSD, Mayor of Elberon is on to something

“You were the one who left the villagers unprotected.” Catra will really find a way to blame Adora for everything she has ever done in her life 

“I know you think I’m just a kid, but I’m ready to join the Rebellion. I want to fight the Horde, and keep my people safe, just like She-Ra.” I don’t think you’re a kid, I think you’re a non-binary lizard performing an infiltration operation for the Horde

“Did it work?” “Like a charm. The plan is underway.” HA!!!!!! Immediate vindication

Side note: Catra telling Scorpia, “I don’t need to explain myself to you. We are not friends.” :( Rude Teen’s Guide to Alienating Everyone Who Cares About You

“What sort of role would the Princesses trust? Someone tooth-achingly cute, and pink.” Something I have been wondering: If Flutterina is supposedly a citizen of Elberon, does that mean there is a real Flutterina out there that Double Trouble replaced? Or, did Elberon not notice a new child, or is in the know about the espionage? 

“You must decide for yourself what kind of Queen you will be.” Shadow Weaver said I have a new favourite teenage superhero to manipulate 

Fjfkjfhkjfhfkj Bow doing a thumbs up and then realizing how painful it is to move his body no matter how minutely. Big fucking mood

“Ahhhh! It got me in the abs. The most vulnerable part of the body that I refuse to cover because I don’t own real shirts.” Double Trouble has pointed out Bow’s true weakness LOL

“You want to fight some bots! See Adora, she’s just as competitive as I am.” “This is why no one comes to game night anymore.” I genuinely can’t tell if Spinerella is competitive or if it’s just one-sided rivalry from her gf Netossa

[Weakly, after having been blasted] “Fourteen.” “What?” “That was 14 bots for me. I win.” LMAO I GUESS THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION

Honestly I feel like Glimmer’s position in this mission was a trolley problem. She had to prioritize protecting more people by disabling the Horde’s bots, or prioritize protecting the Princesses, who do have some abilities to support themselves. I understand her decision, and she came back for Adora right after!

“I live to serve. For a price of course.” HAHAHA @ Catra frowning about this transactional relationship with Double Trouble. This is what you get for telling Scorpia you’re not friends

“Mara was compromised. She became unhinged.” Honestly Light Hope’s anti-Mara sentiment is also suspicious. What’s your beef 

Fkjhgkjhgkjg Light Hope rebooting to end a conversation is the emotional equivalent of ‘I wasn’t looking at my phone’

Am I just now realizing that Rogelio doesn’t speak in anything but growls after four whole seasons LOL

“Oh! I have just now learned how to move about the castle.” Light Hope’s reboot is pretty endearing 

[Elated] “I made a crystal.” I love you sweet robot lady

“You guys are the only family I’ve ever had.” Oh Kyle, that is so sad

“Oh, knock if off, Kyle.” “YOU knock it off, Kyle,” said Kyle to Lonnie in what I can only describe as the perfect comeback

Light Hope for Mara’s ancient immortal robot ex-BFF/gf?? Did not see coming

“Her memory brings me warmth.” OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Awwwww they are Kyle’s family! I’m glad we’re finally getting some emotional development from the back-up Horde squad:

[Rogelio gives heartfelt speech in growls.] [Lonnie and Kyle look at each other perplexed and Kyle chuckles.] “Hey, you too buddy. Probably.” KHKJHKJH I was hoping they spoke Growl but the implication that they truly just don’t fucking understand Rogelio. Poor guy, no one to listen to him since childhood 

“This memory should’ve been purged per directive of the Heart of Etheria Project. Permanently delete.” EVERYTHING SUSPICIOUS IMMEDIATELY COMES UP

Scorpia having two mums on the picture on her desk. I love how much queer couples are woven into the fabric of this show. I see what people meant by we’re living in a post She-Ra world 

“And the way you let Adora give you orders even though you’re the Queen,” BOOOOO Flutterina, stop sowing discord

“I will return to his side victorious, worthy.” The concerned face Catra made when Hordak said “worthy” is the face you make when your dad says something at the dinner table that accidentally reveals a deep-seated childhood trauma and causes you to re-evaluate your view of his whole life: 

“Glimmer, would you like to try phrasing that a little more constructively?” “Everything I’m doing is to protect people, is to protect you. I’m not asking you to trust Shadow Weaver, but can’t you at least trust me?” “Of course, I trust you, Glimmer.” Double Flutterina underestimated the Best Friend Squad’s greatest power!!! Family therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“The whole Fright Zone used to be my family’s kingdom. But then Hordak showed up, and you know, the rest is history. It’s not like the Black Garnet ever worked for me anyway.” Fully forgot that the Black Garnet used to belong to Scorpia’s family omg????

Ooof @ her losing her whole home to the Horde before she could even remember. We hate space colonization

“Catra doesn’t care. She’ll hurt people to get her way.” It took Scorpia four whole seasons, but she got there

Scorpia’s a way better friend to Emily the Robot than Catra has ever been to anyone LOL

Also. Also also also. Catra does not realize that Emily’s recordings literally incriminate her for getting rid of Entrapta LOL

“You’re bad friend.” Turns out, the best way to hurt Catra is being honest

“You and I are going to conquer Etheria. And then, and then they’ll all see!” “Yes. We will prevail. Give me another day, and I will be ready.” HAHAHAHHA Catra has accidentally discovered that Hordak’s love language is words of affirmation. I can’t believe she escaped Hordak’s wrath just by using a peptalk

For all Hordak has like. Terrorized society. He’s pretty bad at disciplining anyone directly LOL

“We’re getting out of here, Emily. For good.” YEAHHHHH SCORPIAAAAA

“Where were you when the murders happened?” “Don’t think you can get away with it. Although, there still aren’t any murders, Mermista.” “YET.” I love this buddy-detective duo of Mermista and Perfuma lmao

Lmao @ them finally introducing more men with a speaking role in this ep. I love that up until now we’ve been failing the Reverse Bechdel test: 

Gjhgkjhgkjhg Bow thinking he could be the spy despite it being impossible. Me when I do my criminal record checks even though I know my record is clean, wondering if I will turn up for a crime I didn’t know I committed 

Speaking of men, I have missed Sea Hawk terribly. He is a delight 

“What has [Shadow Weaver] done other than help us?” Traumatize your best friend for sixteen years and entice a minor (your dad) to do dark magic

“Have you guys been here the entire time?” LMAO AT THE DRYL KITCHEN STAFF MAKING THEIR APPEARANCE FOR THIS SILLY EPISODE. 

Honestly. The silliness is a boon bc I’ve been finding this show has been draining for me this season kgjkhgjgh. I love filler, sue me

“We’ve ruled out all other suspects. Which means the only person the spy could be is one of us.” AND SOMEHOW NO ONE HAS PROPERLY QUESTIONED FLUTTERINA, WHO HAS KNOWN THEM THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME, AND IS ALWAYS STARTING FIGHTS BETWEEN ADORA AND GLIMMER?

AYYYYYYYYYYYYY THEY GOT THEM!!!!

Good on Adora for being able to trust Shadow Weaver, at least for the extent of this plan 

“The Battle of Salineas is over. It happened earlier this very evening. It’s too late. Salineas is gone.” OH NO POOR MERMISTA, POOR SALINEAS

Whoever did the direction for this scene has definitely seen Mulan, because it’s almost exactly the Girl Worth Fighting For Transition, down to the position of the flag, the overlooking a cliff and the child’s doll:

Gjlkgjlkgj why’d Glimmer get mad for Sea Hawk not already being on the boat when she was literally transporting people he’d helped to evacuate! She knows he can’t teleport LMAO

“I’ll be back for you.” You know, as sad as it is that Glimmer doesn’t have Angella, it does make a lot of sense for her own personal growth, because it was hard for her to move autonomously when she still had to follow her mother’s orders

Hugujgyugyuguyg [me chanting in unison with Swift Wind] BOYS NIGHT OUT, BOYS NIGHT OUT

Is Catra’s title General yet? I feel like it definitely should be, as heavy a hand as she has had in Hordak’s moves this season

Fucking love that what’s going on with the Rebellion is Sea Hawk and Bow is a musical number on a top of a bar:

“After all, she taught me how to speak Seagull.” Enamoured with Seahawk. I want him to be in MY throuple with Perfuma

Cannot believe they’ve named this antagonist Admiral Scurvy lol

Hate to say it, but Scurvy’s kind of handsome 

“Hey Scorpia, where are you?” Classic Catra assuming that even if she doesn’t hear an answer, Scorpia drop everything to hang out with her. Scorpia’s right. You need to re-evaluate your friendship behaviour 

“Maybe your best isn’t good enough. If it was, maybe my mother would still be here!” I was waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one. Honestly, I was surprised it didn’t come up immediately when Angella was lost 

“THE BOYS ARE IN TROUBLE! A SEAGULL TOLD ME!” Mermista has also been particularly endearing these last couple episodes. Princess of Ice Cream with a Fallen Kingdom, Obssessed with Mermaid Murder Mysteries, Talks to Seagulls

“So why am I always the only one willing to work at [friendship]?” Damn Bow, been there, it’s rough

Hahahahah I’d wondered if the musical number was a one-off but turns out it’s a musical episode. I support it

I feel like this episode has finally got me to understand the dynamic of Mermista and Sea Hawk’s relationship

He’s the ballad and she’s the rock remix. She’s the rescuer and he’s the rescued. She’s the detective and he’s the detectable. She wants to teach him to speak to seagulls, and he wants to learn to talk Seagull. They love singing, fighting and the sea. I hope they live long and happy lives together and have musical pirate babies 

“My name isn’t Adora. It’s Mara.” OHHHHHHH prequel episode!!! Also kgjkjghgj at Madame Razz getting everyone’s name wrong forever

Light Hope smiling down at Mara when she gets bopped on the head. They WERE girlfriends, I think

God I LOVE Mara’s transformation. Brown-skinned fighting princess <3

“She-Ra was here long before your people arrived. You cannot control magic. Magic simply is.” Then why do only the royal families seem to use magic now!!!

The narrative structure of this episode is SO interesting. No wonder Madame Razz messes up names if she’s continuously being transported from past to present 

Are we finally going to find out what the Heart of Etheria project Light Hope mentioned was!!!

“How will destroying worlds bring peace?” The space colonization boot’s on the other foot now I guess

The weapon being Etheria does track. A planet as a bomb is common trope. I think it shows up twice in Marvel movies 

Just double-checked, and yes this is the plot of GOTG Vol. 2 (2018) and Eternals (2021) LOL 

Unsurprised that Glimmer and Shadow Weaver are pro-planet weapon LOL. Again, Angella, this is what happens when you don’t talk to your kids

“I don’t have a bed time, I can go to bed whenever I want,” said Frosta, who was literally an orphan 

Truly the Bright Moon Way is ‘Fight First, Think Later’ Do you not remember all the Bright Moon guards chasing Adora almost four full seasons ago, who was also a Horde soldier, without hearing a word she had to say?

“Scorpia would be here if everything was fine.” 🎶 Catra, you don’t get to have a psychological breakdown over problems you cause yourself 🎶

KHGKJHGKJHGKJGH I’m Perfuma, immediately won over by this:

Scorpia: You all seem really good at friendship.

Perfuma: 🥺 You’re here to learn how to be a good friend? 🥺

(Though tbh, I’ve always liked Scorpia, she’s the best of the teenagers who have plotted the downfall of society. She’s always just trying to make the best of a bad situation)

“Why can’t you trust me in this?” “Because you’re wrong!!!” A concise and truthful response from Bow 

“I’ll be up, if you want to talk more.” PRINCESS SCORPIA <3 

Wow, I bet Glimmer is ALSO gonna have a psychological breakdown over her friends leaving. Catra and Glimmer are gonna have so much in common

Gljhkgjhjghkjghkjhgjgh stunning realism of this spin and crash for the two teens who’ve never flown a spaceship before

Okay. Not to be anti-talking horse. But I’m anti-talking horse. I prefer non-verbal spiritually-bonded-and-convenient-transport-animals like Appa in ATLA

Maybe it’s specifically the genre of voice acting and quirky-but-unthinking little sidekick characterization. I also felt this same disdain for Ol@f in Frozen LMAO

“Who is that guy?” I’m gonna guess King Micah, mostly because Portal!Micah implied he wasn’t dead but also because he’s using magic without anything to channel it: 

Update from one (1) minute later: It was King Micah LOL

Am I wrong for objectifying King Micah because I am a bit. I love this crazy shirtless man who lives in the ruins of Beast Island 

“Sounds like my babygirl. Always in a hurry to grow up and be friends with the older kids.” :(((((((( Micah has no idea how old Glimmer is, huh

Does the signal prey on hopelessness? Because Micah didn’t get absorbed into it until he learned Angella is gone :(

I’m sure Glimmer stepping into the spooky light while volunteering to use a planetary weapon isn’t a symbol of anything: 

“The Princesses are conduits for the Heart’s power. They must all be connected to their runestones for the Heart of Etheria to function.” So, they need Scorpia to connect to her runestone? This doesn’t bode well for Scorpia making real friends 

They again delivered on that immediately LOL. Also seems unfair that all the other Princesses get manual dexterity for their magic and Scorpia gets big ‘ole pincers

LOL @ Shadow Weaver getting defensive. The Black Garnet was Scorpia’s family’s runestone to begin with 

“You mean the Heart of Etheria? Why didn’t you say so?” LMAO ENTRAPTA WOULD KNOW THE PLANET IS ABOUT THE BLOW UP AND NOT TELL ANYONE 

“We used to be your friends, why are you treating us like this?” Catra has never maintained a single friendship in her life

“You are without allies, without your prisoner and without a plan.” Hate to say it, but I’m with Shadow Weaver on this one

“Victory is ours.” Honestly Hordak, it seems like victory is Catra’s. She’s orchestrated the majority of your successful plans ljghkjghkjhgj. You’ve been taught How to Space Colonize By An Evil Teenage Furry Lesbian

Also Daddy Hordak said: Catra is my new favourite daughter

“When the weapon is activated, it will channel all of its power into you. You don’t get to refuse.” Deeply fucked up as a concept, and specifically that Glimmer is going to turn her friend into a nuclear device

As a side note: Being a brown person with Muslim heritage, I always wonder if mentioning any kind of explosive will get me put on a watch list, regardless of the fact this is entirely discussing fiction. Anyone else get that feeling jhgkjhgjkhg

“My best friends left me,” said Glimmer, like they weren’t on a rescue mission trying to stop the fucking planet from exploding and simultaneously bringing her dad back in the process 

Ghjkghkjghkgjh Bow giving a touching speech about how you have to work at friendship and Adora cutting across to Entrapta’s one and only priority: Fun alien tech

“I figured out the truth. You had Catra send Entrapta to Beast Island, so She-Ra would run off to rescue her.” Double Trouble proving that they truly have no loyalty to Catra. Love that for them 

Ghkjhgkjhgkjhgkjh Catra’s favourite daughter status didn’t last long. Hordak misses Entrapta. I wonder if he’ll try to rescue her

Omg Hordak is crying. Daddy Hordak really does love Entrapta:

“But hey, take care of her.” Awww Lonnie!! I love the back-up Horde Squad immediately siding with Scorpia even lacking the context of their plan

How much damage will Hordak inflict upon his own fort out of anger with Catra??? Also this is the most we’ve seen him fight in this whole series. He’s really pissed about this

“You’re a defect. A mistake. Haven’t you noticed? I’m running things here.” Harsh but the latter part is true

Is Catra going to KILL Hordak? Seems a little extreme for her

All other things aside for a sec, Scorpia’s powers are pretty fucking cool:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh poor Adora, this is gonna suck for her

Honestly, respect for Double Trouble for using their last bit of time in the Fright Zone to mock Catra

“We’re the good guys, remember?” said Glimmer, like she wasn’t weaponizing the whole planet as they spoke

Bow and Entrapta seeing stars for the first time as Light Hope takes them out of Despondos (and into danger)

“Adora was right. Light Hope used me.” WHO WOULD’VE THUNK IT, EXCEPT LITERALLY EVERYONE BUT YOU (AND SHADOW WEAVER, WHO IS OUT OF HER MIND), GLIMMER, YOU STUPID [REDACTED]

I can’t believe that the three dumbest people on the planet (Hordak, Glimmer, and Catra) are all together in one room [Captain America voice] You took all the stupid with you 

Eeeeeeeeeeee both Adora and Light Hope trying to rebel against the Heart of Etheria

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH broken sword??????

“Stay there, I’m coming,” was really lacklustre battle advice to someone who can teleport, Bow

It’s fun how Horde Prime, who Hordak was cloned from, has the same voice actor as Hordak. It’s like ‘I’m you, but sexier, more evil and slightly more appealing to the monster[redacted]!’

Lmao @ Hordak being immediately demeaned and supplanted. Unsurprising but rough

Now that I think about it. Isn’t this the exact plot of GOTG Vol. 2. Making little versions of yourself to reform all the planets

GHHGKJHGKJHGKJHKJ @ Catra deciding to help save the planet but only via endearing herself to Horde Prime 

“Trust that your planet will become the jewel of my empire, and it will allow me to bring peace and order to the farthest reaches of the universe.” Gross. I feel like someone owes me reparations for this dialogue 

“They took her. They took Glimmer.” “She-Ra’s gone. The sword is broken.” Bow and Adora are having a bad news competition and I’m not really sure who’s winning 

Wow, these season finales are just getting grimmer and grimmer with time. At least the last season logically should have a happy ending, so with a view from the ground, the only way to go is up LOL (shout-out Commentarius) 

[hidingoutbackstage]

Death Island liveblog thoughts all in one post

Oh the villain is former Umbrella. Great

Okay we’re spending way too much time filling in Dylan’s backstory. We get it.

Oh the openings credits are LAZY that’s just footage from the other movies/games/shows

Wow this voice acting isn’t great (this will persist throughout the rest of the film)

Ah, never change, Leon. Opening fire in an area where you could easily misfire and hit civilians

Yeah no you’re not surviving that motorcycle crash that easily

Also way to get around the problem people had with Vendetta by making the villain the one causing the traffic problems

Wow so many new models made for random side characters but they couldn’t make a new Jill? Cring

Gotta have a slow mo shot in all of these movies I guess

“Hi Rebecca.” “Hey Chris.” Good, unnaturally establish their names like they didn’t do that in the opening credits

Jill and Chris talking about Wesker like it’s the first time they’ve talked about it since 2009? It’s been 6 years???

Oh they mention Piers that’s fun totally not wondering how I can use this for yhsb

Lol Maria’s model being the exact same. Queen has one (1) outfit

Wow disabled villain. How original

Why are you hiding his face we know it’s Dylan

Oh so they made two models for Dylan, young and old, but they couldn’t make a new Jill model. Got it

Claire and Jill interaction FINALLY

Wow good job Death Island you bass the Bechdel test

Claire called in Jill and Chris meaning she came to Becky with the info first okay girl I see you (🏳️‍🌈)

Hehehe. Zombie sharks zombie sharks zombie sharks zombie sharks

Okay obvious Jill PTSD that’s cool

Floors just randomly collapsing. Yeah sure they do that

LMFAO THE ZOMBIE RIPPING OFF CHRIS’ STUPID TOURIST SHIRT that is unintentionally fucking hilarious

Jesus christ Dylan is an insufferable villain

He’s just Glenn Arias again but more insufferable

Leon stop quipping for fucking once. Jill and Leon are a fun pair though

Okay the aquatic lickers are fucking coooooool

Yes please have a lingering shot on Jill’s legs with her breasts in the shot too as a tongue tries to grab her. Very normal thing to do

That’s right Chris keep the women in your life who get understandably upset in check

Wasn’t Harvardville 10 years ago? Why wouldn’t people know TerraSave was framed?

“We’d help you even if you were the bad guys” followed by a Definitely The Bad Guy shot

Oh boy Jill and Leon made it to the Big Action Set Piece in all the trailers

“Leon Chris Jill and Claire” fuck you Rebecca you’re not important enough to steal data on. Even though like. Didn’t the opening credits imply Rebecca’s info was taken too? Whatever

“Let’s burn it all” is this not incriminating evidence?

AHDHDJSHDBSJ DYLAN BLAKE??? THAT’S A RANDOMLY GENERATED WHITE MAN NAME

Okay I gotta admit mosquitos is a clever way to infect people

“Arias and I did a lot of business together so you could say we were sort of close” yeah dude you’re a Carbon Copy of that man

Ohhhh my g-d Dylan is annoyinggggg

Oh noooooo Dylan is doing the villain thing where his principle makes sense but he uses terrorism to do it. “Fuck the world for being run by big corporations and evil government who don’t give a damn about the innocent. So I’m going to turn the world into zombies” fuck youuuuu writersssss

It’s LITERALLY ECOFASCISM LMFAO this sucks

You know they could actually have paralleled Jill’s and Dylan’s trauma in an interesting way. But then they didn’t

They explored Dylan’s trauma more than Jill’s. Jill’s got one conversation. One.

This tension is so fucking nothing lmao we KNOW they’re not gonna kill the MAIN FOUR PROTAGONISTS this is all just padding

“None of you know what it’s like to be forced to kill your best friend” yes they do she’s pointing a gun at you asshole

Dylan as a villain suuuuuucks I can’t emphasize this enough

Rebecca’s main character status means she doesn’t need any real protective gear

See these government agents are the good guys I swear because they say they wanna help people

Claire is honestly the only person of this group who’s a “good” person cuz she works for an NGO while the rest are government agents. Lol

“We’ve got Jill” yeah Jill was definitely the moral center of this group that was totally established

Rebecca and Jill, Bechdel test…2!

Does Maria ever. Like. Talk?

So Chris how’s it feel to finally get infected like literally everyone else in your line of work that you’re friends with? Now you can join the club. They have buttons

“Thanks Rebecca” kiss her then <3

Oh good Maria does talk

Wow Leon, calling a woman a bitch? Rude

I hope she does kill him just so I don’t have to hear Matt Mercer’s voice for the rest of the movie

Okay so the mosquitos infect humans. Why the sharks? Why the aquatic lickers?

Okay now I get the shark but again. The lickers? Aquatic? Why?

“I’ll finally atone for murdering my friend so that I could survive” or you could have just killed yourself all those years ago. Could’ve saved a lottttt of trouble if you’d just killed yourself

This Leon/Maria fight scene has way too many sound effects (we get it she’s in leather it doesn’t make THAT much noise) but also I am 100% rooting for Maria here. Matt is annoying and she’s literally just out for revenge for her father

Noooo not her titties

What a fucking unceremonious way for Maria to go out jesus christ

Dylan-shark is just HAOS…2!

“Take Rebecca and stop those drones” Leon playing matchmaker good for him

This action music is so over the top lmao

Claire and Becky you’re soooo smart you two should kiss abt it

HELL YES JILL WITH A GIANT GUN GIVE IT TO MEEEE

I’m having so much fun I almost forgot I was pissed that Jill didn’t age

“We control the drones now so why don’t we use them” um. Becky. I know you weren’t there to hear the whole ecofascism spiel but. Maybe don’t. Do that.

See Jill’s quips are good. Leon’s quips are too many in rapid succession

Oh she was using the drones to over-infect Dylan (saying this she casually threw aside a large rock)

Someone is going to say Leon and Chris assembling and using that weapon was actually intentional imagery for gay sex I just know it

That high five between Claire and Becky means everything to meeee (they should’ve kissed after though)

It is cool that all five were in a movie, no complaints there

[lediz-watches]

Suspicious Minds

I uh… I may have lost my patience slightly in this episode. I’m sorry in advance.

But SERIOUSLY EVEN CARLOS MADE ME MAD. ARGH.

I’m liveblogging The Winchesters as a Supernatural!virgin. Please keep my lack of knowledge in mind if you continue...

In episode thoughts:

Oh dear! Gracious! Oh, my, I do so hope an honourable gentleman has come to – why, that’s not a gentleman! Goodness!

Such luck! I shall murder this woman with such style and grace! How wonderful!

Sorry, I’m done now.

Oh, Mary looking for life outside hunting! I actually am shocked this time.

But I’m reminded by how weird American college is. The idea of going to uni without knowing what you’re studying is so foreign to me. We apply for specific courses, and the entrance requirements change depending what you’re planning to study. In a non-American school, Mary would need to have a plan before even thinking about applying. It’s so odd to me.

Aww, Carlos is super twitterpated still.

And an idiot.

You know, some people think Mary Poppins actually is an eldritch creature, for the record. Just a good-aligned one.

…This actor looks familiar. Pause. It’s going to bother me until I find out.

MISTER SHEFFIELD! I KNEW IT! Mwuahahaha yessss! Okay, carrying on.

He feels like a future Lata. Except he’s distressing. Monsters may be monsters but I’m not on board with lobotomising people into service, believe it or not.

I take back my Lata comment. He’s like an evil Lata. Creepy good.

Oh, Roxy. Welcome back.

They’re acting like she looks like a mess, but she’s still gorgeous. Show, come on. She needs to clean some messy eyeliner and brush her hair. Some people spend hours on that look.

Lata… don’t you pull an Ada, on me.

Oh, this creepy dude is creepy but I’m kind of enjoying it, I’m not gonna lie.

You know, I know who Dean is, because of course, but if I didn’t, I would not have any reason to give a damn about the akrida wanting to kill him. I would, however, be confused about why they want to kill him. He has not yet actually had anything to do with the akrida, as far as I know, he’s just been AROUND. This is yet another instance of this show needing Supernatural to make sense.

Creepy good isn’t lying to you, kids, he’s just not telling you his life story. Why do you care why he’s got a vendetta against your enemies? Honestly, the way this group worries about morals sometimes is so all over the place. PICK A LANE. And don’t just tell me you’re hypocrites, that does not excuse you.

Oooh, Lata, I do hope you’re having fun in between shop talk dreams~!

Oh no. Creepy good did lie to you. He’s the assistant. How terrible?

Oh, no. In addition to LOBOTOMISING SENTIENT CREATURES he also did human experimentation. How shocking. Again, I have to wonder at the morals and ethics of this show. I think this is a me-problem, but I do not like the whole we-draw-the-line-at-physically-hurting-humans thing. If you’re willing to accept a guy torturing and enslaving sentient creatures, you should be willing to hear the context of the human experimentation. I’m not saying I’m okay with it, I’m just saying these characters should be. Be mad about it, sure, demand explanations, sure, but don’t go in guns blazing.

…phony accent, oh god, no, don’t do that, please. This actor is so very British, and that Southern Twang is a notoriously difficult accent to pull off.

…I like Roxy’s decision here. I like the allegory. Remember, and recover, and grow beyond your pain.

Oh, of course creepy good is creepy bad. But I stand by my statement about ethics. Of course he’s proven bad, but up until he did all this targeting the main characters bit, these characters feel like the type who would go along with bad morals For the Greater Good.

Who the heck is big guy and where did he come from?

Golems. Kay. The show has not explained how they work in this context. Golems, as far as I know, are creatures baked from clay and given a degree of sentience. And yet Mary is acting like they’re unforgivable magic.

Oh, look, John’s trying to be charming again. I wonder if the goo will go in his mouth.

…well, it didn’t, but uh… that’s a real human looking creature you just mercilessly killed in gruesome fashion.

And a legitimate human you just killed in less gruesome fashion.

ETHICS!

Mary. Mary, note what you are saying. Apply it to the actions John has taken so far. Please, Mary. Mary, please. Don’t say ‘us’, say ‘you’. Say ‘you’, Mary.

Okay, Carlos, I forgive you so many things, but comparing Roxy’s situation with yours is not particularly forgivable and you need to just not. Just no.

That was some TIMING, Millie. And cops. I was going to say what Akrida!Kyle is doing is almost a compelling twist on hearsay cases, but it’s been dramatised a bit much. You were so close to making me invested in a John storyline, show! So close!

Okay. So a few things here, and I think the main one I should address is my own prejudice. Because it’s another one of those things that stops me from watching a lot of fantasy and sci-fi if I’m honest.

I don’t like the idea that just because something is not human (strictly or otherwise) it should be considered fair game. There are multiple reasons I don’t like it, but I think in the end it comes down to this assumption that it-is-different-from-me-and-therefore-less. What this show calls monsters are all clearly sentient creatures with lives and thoughts and emotions. Even the akrida, which have basically been portrayed as worker drone ants, have jokes and preferences that were highlighted IN THIS EPISODE. They’re… remarkably human for CGI monster bugs.

But the show just Accepts As Fact that monsters are bad, humans are good. Even as it shows that humans are not good. They will slaughter monsters wholesale without blinking, and the Men of Letters quite rightfully seem to think of hunters as vicious killers willing to do terrible things in the name of what Dean calls righteousness, but physical harm to a human is Bad.

I mean, look how quickly they almost turned on Ada for the crime of (gasp) having a consensual relationship with a djinn. She had to rush to defend herself. Why? Maybe Supernatural gave a big long reason about why djinn are bad, but in all the stories I’ve ever read, they’re usually just as petty and loving and fickle as humans, with some extra power and less emotional control. Big deal.

And yes, Creepy Good was bad. I don’t mind him being bad. What I mind is the way Mary and John framed him as untrustworthy not because he did terrible things but because he… let himself in to the building that is much more his right to play in than theirs? They do realise they’re squatting in the Men of Letters’ house, right? Ada is literally the only one that’s supposed to be there. He had a KEY.

And the golem. I don’t have the context to understand the response Mary had to the golem. So as much as that dude came out of nowhere, so did the whole concept of him! Golems are not… the myth of golems is not consistent enough to just throw a golem into the story and have it be acceptable. Frikkin homunculi are more consistent and more recognisably Bad than a golem and yes I know in some stories they’re the same thing but golems are usually made of clay and homunculi are human parts and that would have fit Mary’s reaction a little better when mostly I’m just like golems are moving objects, so okay, cool use of magic?

-FURIOUS FLAILING CONTINUES FROM LAST EPISODE-

And Carlos and Lata, usually I love you guys, and Roxy’s story was so good but my god, the A-plot absolutely DESTROYED my willingness to put up with THAT UTTER NONSENSE where you would DARE compare being SCARED of INTIMACY with A FUCKING RAPE ALLEGORY.

THAT, MY FRIENDS, MADE ME VERY ANGRY.

…

Deep breaths.

…Okay, gonna take a break from this show for a minute now, before we move onto chapter eleven. …more breaths.

(or back to chapter one if you dare.)

[gothedrals]

definitely diff opinions on where patd goes bad, but id agree w the other anon in that first two albums w ryan are excellent (ive rlly enjoyed ur fever liveblogging btw, i also think the transition/interlude parts are the best). i personally love v&v bc it’s quite baroque and funky (and pete wentz helped write it so the lyrics are still good), and then too weird is pretty good and doab is alright - like they have their bops but they don’t quite hold up to earlier stuff.

personally i stopped listening after doab bc i fucking hated high hopes so much lmao i tried to listen to all of pray for the wicked but it’s just obvious where brendon was being carried by other songwriters, and where he’s left to his own devices. there’s a gr8 video essay i saw from mary mahoney who tried to take viva las vengeance seriously and GOD that album is a mess.. it’s a good watch if u end up listening through more of their discography bc then u have the context of. what the fuck went wrong.

honestly I’m excited to listen to even their bad stuff bc of the personal vendetta I’ve had against brendon urie since he butchered bohemian rhapsody. hater fuel <3 I’m glad you enjoyed the live-blogging lol I didn’t even mean to liveblog but I feel like I’ve started something that I need to fully throw myself into now. I’m getting so much varied feedback on which albums are good and bad so I guess I just have to see for myself

[meruli]

Wonderful Precure EP2

I wasn't going to liveblog this, but I have so much to say that I've decided to do it.

Not only are the animals in the title card blatant healpre ripoffs, the magic world is also *sth* garden. Wonderful.

I'll forgive this season's naming sense exactly once because this does sound like something a dog would come up with

I know he's a butler and all, but the idea of a sheep referring to a dog as sama is hilarious

So who does he even work for

I REALLY hope they would discontinue these round transformation items. I have a vendetta against toys of this shape for some reason

He passed out from yelling at them too much

What a splendid time for more product placement!

what if she had rabies. then what.

If they knew the proper way to say friendly why didn't they do it for miss dog owner

this and the whole "everyone friends" thing gives me major yuuki aine vibes. aine for animals.

She can't keep a secret to save her life lmao

DONT USE A DOG TO PROMOTE YOUR MAKEUP. Dogs will NOT wear makeup even if they become humans.

They made stock footage of her turning into a human...

I'd like this show a lot more if Miss Dog didn't have a human form outside her precure form

"With the power of this toy, even dogs can evolve into humans!"

Their eyes are so messy in cure form. Please chill with all the colors.

WHY DOES IT HAVE EYELASHES

(ok so apparently ostriches do have eyelashes, but this art style makes it look uglier than real ostriches)

Already?
