I studied adventure and fantasy films as well as adaptations extensively in university so I have a video essay planned (finally I’m getting to YouTube) but I’m interested to get your thoughts since pretty much all of these problems are stemming the place that’s sparked the Writers’ Strike so it feels relevant.

Because we obviously have fantastic writers and directors and creatives out there - why aren’t they getting to tell stories?

Also, support the Writers Strike.

One thing I truly and absolutely adored about Glass Onion was that Blanc stepped back.

Every other movie about a detective always shows them pushing through to the end and breaking the rules and getting their man but Blanc is always very clear about where his jurisdiction ends and allows the victims to actually pursue their justice. It’s such an underrated aspect and I love it.

#glass onion #glass onion spoilers #rian johnson please continue to give us fifty more of these #every actor in hollywood is screaming for the chance to play a character and not an action figure #he's doing character work #he's doing eat the rich #he's doing women getting justice and inexplicable accents

It isn’t all the filmmaker’s fault that all we’re getting is second-rate remakes and sequels to franchises that should’ve been left alone a long time ago.

We don’t have a clear idea of why we like the things we like. So we don’t clearly communicate why we like the things we like. So it’s no wonder Hollywood keeps getting your favorite movies and their characters wrong. The fans don’t even know why they like what they like.

When Genie is set free in the original Aladdin, that moment was impactful, and you remembered it all through childhood. When Luke tosses the lightsaber away and says “I am a Jedi, like my father before me,” it was impactful, and you remembered it.

But did you stop and analyze why? What made those moments, and those stories, impactful?

Did you say, “Genie wished to be free for the whole movie, and he was always trying to tell Aladdin about how freedom only comes from trusting, and he was learning to trust Al himself, and Aladdin finally DID trust Jasmine to still want him even if he wasn’t rich, so he set Genie free in the most satisfying way!”

Did you say, “Luke spent all previous movies rushing into fights, and trying to control everything to save the ones he loves, but when he finally has his enemy at his mercy and is at the height of his power, he realizes that being a Jedi isn’t rushing and fighting and controlling; it’s having faith in the good and throwing your opportunity for control away.”

Did you think through and appreciate that stuff? The values? The point of the whole story, and how the characters act as pillars holding that point up? The good and the bad things that they embody?

No. Not out loud. Because we don’t think critically anymore. We just go “what’s this? Entertain me. Oooh, I felt something! Good! Next!”

The why behind what you like is the only value in liking anything.

But we don’t look objectively at the “why.” We don’t dwell on the “why.” If we dwell on anything, it’s to superimpose ourselves or whatever we like onto the characters.

You think Barbie was hyping feminism because you like feminism, and because you felt things during Barbie. You write fanfiction about Eddie Munson that has nothing to do with what Eddie Munson actually is as a character—because you like love stories, and you felt some compelling emotions when you saw Eddie Munson onscreen, so you’ve decided that those things should go together. You take something that made you feel emotions while you watched the canon material, then you don’t bother to process those emotions or what made the canon material compelling. You just slap whatever you already think you like onto something that made you feel, whether it had anything to do with what you like or not.

You eat the apple and benefit from it without knowing, at all, what nutrients are inside. Then when someone offers you crap and tells you it’s apple-flavored, you wonder why you’re not feeling the same way afterward.

Then you misdiagnose. You say “no, I don’t wonder why I’m not feeling the same—it’s because the CGI in live-action remakes suck!” Okay, great, so they’ll get better CGI. And it’ll still suck. Because that was never the problem, just like the reasons you liked the movie were never the reasons it actually impacted you in the first place.

Figure out. WHY. You like what you like. Figure out if it’s because the stories said what their creators objectively intended for them to say—or if you like the story in spite of that, not because of that.

Then open your mouth about it. It is worth it.

On one hand I want the live action AtLA to do well because it has a cast of young POC actors getting a chance to play roles not often available to them, on the other hand I want it to bomb because I am sooooooooo sick of studios thinking a successful animated show/movie just needs to have a live action remake. Live action is not the the height of media and I want this trend to die

#every time I see photos or clips I just think…#wow a Hollywood exec genuinely thought this was on par or maybe better than the original animation #atla #atla live action #avatar the last airbender #avatar the last airbender live action #aang #sokka #katara #zuko

“For the people saying they’re just hanging out with their friends: in Hollywood, as in most other circles, people who look like them hold the majority of the wealth, power, and status. The same people left out of their social networks are left out professionally too. That matters.”

“I’m sure Jennifer Aniston didn’t cook all this food, take care of all this property, and clean this whole house. Yeah, they won’t show you the people that actually do the work to make their lives comfortable.”

I think the problem with live action adaptations is that we really don't want them.

People are looking for every way to hate these shows and movies because we love the originals so much. We're starved for new, original content that's genuine and not just a cash grab.

Stop dragging past material back for alright to mediocre stuff that really doesn't do anything new. Give us NEW SHIT. Have these big production companies forgotten how to like... make up a story?

The LA avatar is ok. Just ok, where the original was fenominal. It has the same story beats, but just feels kinda hollow. PJO had a lot of the same issues.

Also Percy Jackson should have been a 2D animated series I mean COME ON. Animation has been valued less and less lately and it's just really sad.

The only exception to my ranting is the One Piece LA those guys somehow did it SO right. I never thought I'd love a live action remake before that.

#live action atla #atla live action #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson live action #one piece live action #I don't usually rant like this but capitalism is killing creativity and I need to talk about #where is the JOY AND WHIMSY #where are the NEW ideas #why has hollywood become a recycling machine #live action adaptations
