Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

im on ep 6 of hilda s3 and i really wonder why they only got 8 eps for the final season. it feels like i've just started the season, but it feels... not rushed, but like it kinda doesn't have space to breathe? while before, 6 would've been almost halfway (or halfway), here it's almost over and it does feel kinda tense?
#personal#like its almost over. it is i guess but it feels like it even tho it just started#which makes that laughing merman ep worse since i think even w/o the cut i wouldnt have kept him in the show lol#but s2 set up certain plotlines and here it absolutely seems like it cant bring it up at all considering what they can barely show#and characters since the start are now absent and not really mentioned. and not for any plot relevant reason why either#which they couldve done considering the time skip. puberty's an easy reason for the cast to suddenly not do the things they did before#i really wonder if netflix barely allowed any eps or what. bc hilda doesnt seem like a show that you'd run out of ideas with#but it is an adaptation so ig i could see what they originall had

i remembered that writing my own little reviews was supposed to be part of my whole ‘watch a movie every week’ thing and i had a surprisingly large amount to say about the nutty professor
#so like the only criteria for this movie thing is i just have to watch a movie ive never seen before#that one won this week bc it was easy to find browsing netflix and not too long and didnt seem like something id care about#sometimes that helps when youre worried about your ability to focus#so like i expected it to be fatphobic. the weird part was the entire message of the movie was its fucked up to make fun of people for being#fat. BUt the movie ALSO does that ITSELF? and i guess its a 'love the sinner hate the sin' kinda mentality#but even that doesnt explain the cognitive dissonance???#anyway im just so hung up on that

Just pitching in since I see so much discourse about will they or won’t they that I think we kind of lost the essence of the story: I mean yes, Netflix is promoting the whole are they going to be endgame or not, tune in to find out but I think that’s just a generic marketing tactic.I’ve honestly been ignoring it.
Also, Lisa doesn’t strike me as the type of writer that would push only her own personal agenda or politics to a tv show, especially one that has critical acclaim as yr. That’s not what true storytelling is about. Please bear with me (apologies in advance for the long response !) but here’s my v long winded reasoning:
The theme has always been love v. duty & the monarchy is the enemy. Wille is on a Hero’s Journey - he is ultimately the Main Character; the Young Royal. What’s great about The Hero’s Journey is that it’s easy to follow and makes for great storytelling despite its predictability. I think some people here may have touched upon this so I am simply expanding:
As a viewer, we follow Wille and get to know him. He’s a likable character and we easily root for him and feel for him when we learn about the power dynamics in play; specifically how he feels caged as a prince. Then we enter into a Call for Adventure: him falling for Simon and the high stakes he enters when his brother passes and he is now Crown Prince.
This, then, propels the story forward, given the stakes are stacked up and it’s not looking good for Wille, especially after he/we find out August was the offender for sex tape leak.
After that, we enter into The Refuse to Call for Adventure; i.e, the hero (Wille) realizes he must face the challenge. We also step into the Meeting the Mentor, which is Boris, who helps Wille learn how to stand up and ultimately fight for himself (and Simon). While I see others thinking that W might push everyone away, including skipping his appts with Boris, I do not think that’s the case. Boris was set up to be the Mentor that W needs to realize the challenge he’s been facing and we may continue seeing him open up to Boris.
This will then allow W to “Cross the Threshold” and reinforce the central theme and conflict of the story - if W continues to stay with the monarchy and his obligations as Crown Prince, he cannot choose Simon. Love or Duty? Which will prevail?
S3 crosses that threshold and produces tests and obstacles that would make the fight for his relationship w S so much more complicated (basically everything we saw in the trailer). This stage in the Hero’s Journey is meant for the audience to doubt the Hero - Wille. It’s already a testament as we are debating if W is going to denounce his title or not just from the 2 mins of what we saw from the trailer. It’s intentional. We need to doubt in order for the central theme to drive home and also portrays the monarchy to be the overarching enemy of this story, without Lisa forfeiting her own political statement.
We enter the next stage of the Journey - which is the Cave - meaning the Hero and protagonists need to regroup and prepare for a counter attack (generally speaking) because the tension is continuing to rise and there are outside forces that wish to disturb the Journey (in this case, public opinion? paparazzi? Hillerska shutting down?).
Next, we enter the Ordeal - which makes the Hero break down bc he enters a mental barrier and is pushed to a corner. However, the Hero, typically comes out stronger after this stage in storytelling.
Ultimately, we reach the end: The Reward. The Hero makes the “attack” or choice and defeats the enemy/antagonist.
Imo, with how everything is set up, I do think it’s set up for W and S to be together in the end at least the end of the show (everything else after is obviously left for the audience member to interpret).
I have no doubt that W & S are going to come up on top and still be together in the end bc like some people mentioned - what would be the point? It was never a question whether they would end up together. The question is if Wille, our Hero in this story, would make the final choice and choose between love or duty. I think Wille would choose love. What better way of making history, especially with everything that’s been happening in real events, then choosing love? That would make for a strong ending.

some thoughts on netflix's adaptation of atla:
kiawentiio was done dirty cause she has so much of katara's bite and sass in her interviews
u can really tell the writing is the series' weakest point because the actors have what it takes to bring those characters to life but they'll only be able to do so much with the script and direction they're given
the wigs are SO ugly. yue had it the worst imo. she deserved better
suki was perfect
LET SOKKA WEAR DRAG U COWARDS
why the fuck are ppl just bending without bending forms and stances. why is aang able to fly without needing to lose his earthly tethers
why are they randomly cutting and pasting scenes in weird places
why is the swamp scene combined with the spirit world????? that was important in setting up toph's introduction????
the fact that the writers knew it made no sense for katara and sokka to end up in the spirit world with aang so even the characters said it and they just handwaved it bc plot lol
so much exposition. clearly the mark of a good story is when the character have to TELL u everything that's happening 🫠
the writers are such big kyoshi stans
like why is she taking other characters' roles
why is gran gran doing katara's intro
iroh and zuko are cute
zuko's choreo is so good
zhao is still a dumbass
his death is unsatisfying. what happened to getting fucked by the spirit world if u fuck with it. where's the ocean spirit dragging his ass to its demise. why is iroh providing his sentence
mai and ty lee are doing nothing but have terrible wigs and give exposition on ozai's motives that they somehow knoe about
aang: *gets told there's no easy way out in being the avatar*
also aang: *gets told everything he needs to know*
badgermoles are empaths now????
bumi they nerfed u
aang they nerfed u
gyatso u deserved a cooler fight to the death they really nerfed u
it's so fucking stupid that aang has to be in shrines to talk to his past lives
kinda cool they go into more detail of the past avatars' lives ig. even if only slightly
katara vs pakku was so lackluster
these bending fights are so lackluster unless ur zuko ig
no srsly how are some ppl just bending without forms. like sozin in episode 1 roasting that dude by just holding him
jun exists only to flirt w the dragon of the west and good on her, me too girl
what's the point of sokka getting suki's fan if he's not even gonna use it...
there's no stronger relationship than sokka x momo
oma and shu are gay i think. love that for them
why tf did aang spend this entire story not even trying to pick up another element. katara literally offers to learn with him a few times and he just didn't feel like it lol
OG azula was impressive and scary. netflix azula feels more like the eldest asian daughter trying rly hard to get her parents' approval. idk she's just alright
so much expositions
ok sure let's have time sensitive plot A not conclude in one episode, have it stretch to the next episode, and still only rush in concluding it at the very end in the backburner of plot B. let's just handwave the fact that those people definitely should've died in like the three days it takes them to resolve plot B
the cabbage merchant is cabbage merchanting
effects are good

nimona is weird cuz on the one hand:
FUCKING AWESOME that this movie came out. so glad it actually got made in spite of the general fucking shithole which is the film industry. great to see real queer rep thats not exclusively subtext -in a kids movie-! if i was jd stevenson i would be hyped simply at the amount of love and care put into animating nimona's facial expressions, not to mention the beautiful sets and imagery and character design.
on the other hand:
they took a sweet indie webcomic full of blood and guts and bitterness and made its main characters 100% unimpeachable goodie heroes. there's nothing steely abt this ballister blackheart, he's just a wet puppy who never did anything wrong in his life. nimona talks a big game but all she rlly needs is a hug. its too easy. kill the One Bad Actor and all ur troubles will be over. the 1000 YEARS OF FEAR AND HATE are dissolved as soon as the "monster" "dies"
and the worst part is: the movie can only exist bc of these compromises. there's no fuckin way disney or netflix or any major studio would fund a comic-accurate nimona, cuz its too edgy and queer for the family-friendly kiddo audience, and too monkpunk for the mainstream marvel goer.
anyway watch it, its good, but its sad what it had to sacrifice to exist.

Ok idk if anyone said this re: Greta gerwig’s narnia on here already I only pop in from time to time…
But it seems like Liam Neeson will return to voice Aslan and Tilda Swinton is set to return as the White Witch?
There was also a comment in an interview saying it won’t change people’s conception of narnia, but just make it bigger (I think that was the phrasing, or close to it).
So I’m cautiously optimistic. That makes it sound like they want to get the audience on familiar territory — hopefully it lands! To use the same actors and then depart to dramatically from the 2005 version would be pretty jarring, so maybe they want to recreate that movie relatively closely as a launchpad for the rest of the series? But they still gotta make it their own which makes me nervous lol
Netflix handled the Shadow and Bone adaptation pretty well so maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised 😬
The only thing is that Greta Gerwig seems emphasize messaging and themes in equal measure as plot. Little Women deals prominently with marriage, expectations of womanhood, wealth/class, etc. Barbie is theme over plot, I’d almost say, given the virality of America Ferrera’s speech, I’m Kenough, and the overall impression of Barbie having an awakening to being a human woman or whatever. I haven’t seen it so maybe there’s plot I’m missing but that seems to be the idea.
This kinda thing doesn’t work for narnia, imo. I don’t want to hear Susan give a speech about womanhood in the war era, or some remark on femininity, firstly because it’s so overdone in movies these days but also bc if you’re going to put any theme/motif/messaging on equal footing to Narnia’s plot it should be faith.
I’m not saying Christianity has to slap you in the face. The Disney adaptations handled it well I think. It was there without the movie overdoing it, and there wasn’t any sort of moral or speech or sound bite to sell to the audience otherwise. It was a fantasy movie.
Susan would make an easy target, and I really hope Gerwig doesn’t fall into the “lipstick and nylons” trap everyone argues about. First of all it should hardly be foregrounded bc it doesn’t really become an issue until after she’s left narnia in which case she’s offscreen. The Last Battle maybe, but again it’s brief. My two cents on it though are that I always took it to be her grief for not being able to return to narnia forced her to try to move on, and maybe the resentment over her loss broke her faith. She’s still a character to sympathize with. People say Lewis couldn’t get past her being female and hence the lipstick and nylons but I think that’s a bad read. She was a queen, an adult woman, and cerebrally mature only to return a boarding school student. Of course she didn’t return to her dolls. I also think that it happened because she’s so logical and calculated and careful (neither good nor bad as a trait on its own) that loosing something she loved only augmented her original doubts and made her stubborn. So again it’s not about womanhood nylons and lipstick, it’s grief and sort of an internal self-defence kinda thing. If Gerwig were to explore anything with Susan as she’s older I would say doubt and logic versus faith and responsibility would both be true to the character and far more original/interesting for audiences.
I would love to see how they handle The Horse and his Boy, the Golden Age and how the kings and queens earn their titles (just, gentle, valiant, magnificent). I would love to see a Jill Pole who is allowed to cry, to be a scared school child, and also brave and stoic and thrust into an underground world on a rescue mission. I will be fascinated to see their concept for The Last Battle, because again it’s very much so a Christian story.
So I really do hope Netflix allows the series to live past the first 3, so we get new material. Caspian and Dawn Treader are gonna be a test for Gerwig’s strengths before she’s allowed into fresh territory with the other books.
I just think that if you’re intending to strip it of the intention behind the story — lost faith, found faith, tested faith, resilience, trust, redemption, all through a Christian lens, then maybe don’t adapt it at all. I’m not saying you have to make Christianity so foregrounded it feels like a sermon, but you cannot have narnia without that being the lens through which the world is understood. They aren’t separable things.
AND going back to the casting hopefully it’s not Timothy chalamet / Saoirse Ronan / Florence Pugh. As much as they’re great actors, I think for narnia as a reboot to land, they need a bunch of unknown, fresh faces and actual kids not people in their twenties/thirties. Even as a background narnia cameo it would honestly be distracting.

Holy cow, the mainstream Mormon church is just as wild as the polygamist sects when you dive deep enough. NewNameNoah on YouTube has hidden camera videos of EVERY ritual (there’s also a transcription floating around somewhere to help you understand when it gets fuzzy). Jordan and McKay (ex-Mormon couple) have reaction videos where they watch the temple videos and provide additional commentary.
There are very active debates about where the events of the BoM took place, because supposedly ancient Israelites sailed to America and became the Native Americans after many generations. Some “scholars” believe the Mayan pyramids are proof the BoM is true because they’re “clearly” Nephite temples. The three pyramids is Teotihuacan supposedly represent the three kingdoms of heaven. There are a disturbing number of tour companies in Mexico that cater to Mormons, providing guided tours of “The Holy Lands” (Chichen Itza and Tulum in Mexico, Lake Atitlan in Guatemala).
Yesterday I was listening to some historian’s presentation on YouTube. He claims the BoM was set in the Midwest, and some of his “proof” (because clearly genetics and the archaeological record ain’t backing him up) is that the names in the BoM end in “-ah” like a lot of Native American words. One of those words he cited? Scotia. Like…my dude. Do you really think Nova Scotia is what the Mi’kmaq called their land? And not Latin for “New Scotland”? Because a cursory google search will corroborate…it’s the latter.
Also, check out Murder Among the Mormons on Netflix if you haven’t already. It’s a wild ride—enjoy!
Murder Among the Mormons is a wild ride lol highly recommend four anyone that likes religious true crime docs.
It is so fascinating to me how mormonism has created such a solid foundation of belief in its relatively short lifetime. it's not the only religion that makes wild claims about its history obviously but I always felt like the major world religions got a lot of their legitimacy just from being so old ya know...... hearing a story from 5k years ago about Jesus doing something magical is like, sounds fake but who knows what was going on back then, the continents were closer the oceans were colder, maybe magic was a thing. But all of Mormonism lore is less than 200 yrs old, maybe 7 or 8 generations ago....... it's like why did God wait so long to reveal all this information lol and why do basically everyone else's stories not line up with yours at all??
But like you mentioned, it's got its claws so deep in the believers they have deep theological discussions about where biblical things happened in North America, something that seems so ridiculously easy to disprove bc we have soooooo much evidence to the contrary (including the actual Christian Bible). It feels like the early isolation of mormons in Utah just really sped up a lot of things that took other religions hundreds of years to achieve, idk it's so interesting.

hiii! i hope ur doing okay <3
i was wondering what writers you would recommend that have a similar style (romance and comedy) to you since i'm new on tumblr :'P
omg wait this is sort of sweet 😭 i dont really know what my 'style' exactly is, BUT i have been waiting for this exact moment!!!! (ranting about my favorite writers my favorite beings in the world and fangirling bcs that is clearly in my nature)
OKAY OKAY LETS DO THIS!!!
i recommend
-> @jjunis
first writer i got into when stumbling upon moablr!! LITERALLY THE CUTEST SMAUs (i know i dont really make those but i swearrrrr give her soobin one a shot its so ROMCOM-ESQUE) AND all her oneshots are fluffy and cute and and
my favorite piece from them is their beomgyu smau (bcs im a struggling bamtori that eats up anything beomgyu) my beloved GHOSTING. its on hold but its soooooo fucking good, like slow burn at its core and i LOVE it. its not romantic yet but i swear its sooo worth it, the topics it tackles and the character development and the effectiveness of the flashbacks and how real each character feels ...this is the IT smau!!!!
-> @tqmies
i held off on reading for soooo long even when i found each and every summary of her fics sooooooo interesting but then one day i had free time and decided i should finally tackle my reading list and !!!!
i soooo recommend each and every fic, like its all SO good??? FOR WHAT??? so easy to read but her vocab isn't limited, and i just love that balance so much. everything is good. i recommend EVERYTHING.
but if i had to choose ONE, just ONE thing to recommend, it would be love again because i am a whore for best friends to lovers and this was the most perfect beomgyu b2l ever.
-> @minastras
um if mina isn't one of the best writers on moablr then who is????? i'd recommend for starters her yeonjun fic mr. vice president literally captured the essence of academic rivals to lovers arc so well (ill fangirl over this more on my official rec list bcs i have a lot to say but trust!!! minas the writer you're looking for)

Hey! How are you today?
Could I request Teruteru/Gundham/Kazuichi × gnc boy reader?
Me not requesting teruteru only, what a surprise :0
Hope you're doing well!
See you!
- 🐭🌙
Teruteru Hanamura, Gundham Tanaka, and Kazuichi Souda with a gender non-conforming boyfriend
HELLO!!! Look at me writing your request. Confession it took so long because I forgot it was in the ask box as if it's literally not the most noticable one bye my bad
I'm watching The Wretched rn on Netflix and tbh i have not been paying attention but it's pretty good. Update I completely missed the ending bc I forgot I turned it on and I went downstairs and made soup so if the ending is trash then idk.
currently watching: The Wretched
-Mod Souda
Teruteru Hanamura
✯ His attraction towards you physically comes from you're openness when it comes from things like gender and the such. He considers that form of openness to be desirable in somebody, as he himself is not afraid to indulge in things considered feminine. Whatever you want to do: whichever way you combine femininity and masculinity to create something neutral, he would be more than willing to go along with it and partake.
For a time he was so lost in concentration as to forget the sleepiness in his eyes. He had noted with his professional thought process that the pancakes are rising later than they usual do, which is something that doesn't matter, it's literally just an observation to keep his mind going.
Now, as he flips them with that same dramatic flare (no one is even looking), he had no time to hear you entering the kitchen from behind him.
"Smells good," you said aloud, yawning. "Thank you."
His words were picked up even though they were quiet. "Good morning, sleeping beauty."
When you say good morning back, he looks at you right as you glance his way. You notice the blush forming on his face that wasn't there before and it makes you laugh. All you said was good morning.
✯ He be cooking you breakfast everyday like there's no way he isn't waking up early just to send you off with the first meal of the day.
✯ Omg the two of you can do skincare routines together. Pink facemasks and him painting your nails.
✯ He knows a lot about being feminine from his sister, who is like peak femininity. Growing up being an older figure to her meant learning how to braid hair and to add at least 3 coats of polish to make sure the coloring doesn't flake off easy.
✯ He does your laundry sometimes and it's always fun to see what clothes you have. He likes doing laundry for this main reason.
✯ When he introduces you as his boyfriend / partner all his friends are like yep that makes sense.
.
Gundham Tanaka
✯ He does things for the sake of aesthetic rather than for the sake of gender. His love for painting his nails (and the smeared remnants on his thighs and palm) comes from the rockers he saw on the big screen. His earrings are from his mother's side, and his eyeliner is from the drug store. Everything he has he has worked for, and now that the two of you are living together, he can steal a bunch of your shit and use it as his own. Excellent.
A section of the jacket, right on the inside where the side of his thigh is, has embroidery of your name. His shoes have your signature on them as well, and it was then that he realized the feelings he feels towards you is love. There seems no possibility of anything else, especially considering the fact that it's an unrecognizable feeling; something new [and nowhere near something bad]
He woke up Tuesday morning to feed the animals, leaving you in the bed (your feet were hanging out from the blanket so he covered them before he left). He shushes the dogs and makes sure the clanking of the many hooves isn't loud enough to carry to the bedroom.
"What would you do?" He asks the goat as he scratches under its chin.
Your voice comes from behind him. "About what?"
"Nothing..."
"I just thought," you smile, "you mentioned something about love."
He grunts, but to you it sounds more like a hum. Did he really say those things out loud?
✯ He loves opening his trench coat as you hug him and just swallowing you inside of it.
✯ He's gonna completely fluster himself through calling you things like "my lord" or "my treasure", "my mystique".
✯ If you have spare necklaces or bracelets then he'll wear those (ah and imagine him with kandi on... PLUR on, brother).
✯ He also loves being able to say boyfriend. That shit makes him all flustered. "That's my boyfriend." giggling and twirling his hair between his fingers.
✯ "Your beauty is one that goes beyond the stars."
.
Kazuichi Souda
✯ He used mixed gender norms as a means of getting more popular. Introducing the fact that he has a boyfriend now (meaning accepting no hoes) he can visibly enjoy his appearance and the ways he's constructed it. He'll dye his hair whatever color you want, he'll let you braid strands of it and keep them that way for however long they last. His appearance is way more flexible than it was before and this is mainly because he sees how fluid you are. He also just generally wants to match with you but.
Bothering him while he works is so easy, and it's so fun. You like sitting on the edge of the car after he lifts the lid.
You give him a sympathetic smile as you brush his hair from his face, his mess of pink hair everywhere after he takes off his beanies. "You look so good today."
His grumbles come from a place of shyness rather than a place of annoyance. He hates (loves) it when you touch him.
"Yeah, yeah, don't you have work to do?"
You chuckle at him, lifting your shirt to wipe your face, him staring at your chest while grinding his teeth. You meet his eyes when you pull it back down.
"I'll come see you after I finish. I know you'll miss me."
✯ The two of you are like pencil liner vs. liquid liner.
✯ He steals your fashion sense.
✯ His way of flirting is slinging his jacket around your shoulders and refusing to let you give it back. It's yours now until no it's not (now, how long does it take before he wants it back?).
✯ Whenever he talks to you it'll be hard to make eye-contact because he'll just be examining your outfit. It's something he does subconsciously.
✯ When he goes in for a hug he wraps his arm around your chest and holds his head against your sternum. It makes him come off as vulnerable (because he is).

For pillow fort friday<3
If I had to make you a drink I would do a simple whisky cocktail !
(I hope you like whiskey as much as Saya does—bc I know I do!)
-Whiskey on the rocks with a homemade spiced* honey syrup
*(cinnamon, ginger, orange, honey+ water/sugar) -A dash of Orange bitters and a weee bit of fresh lemon juice—garnished with an orange wheel
You pick a movie/tv show/anime! (Or 5?)
I could use a good rec! :)
good morning, kaz! i'm so sorry i missed this last night, i was busy singing my lungs out very poorly at karaoke, ahaha.
that cocktail sounds fantastic, i will take two, pls & thank you. whiskey (and scotch whisky particularly) is my preferred liquor most of the time, though gin does edge ahead a little bit in the summer when i enjoy a nice fizz with fresh fruit. that cocktail sounds perfectly up my alley! <3
let's see what i can do about recommendations below the cut because they got looonnnnggg (sorry)...
tv shows:
ted lasso. i was very late to this one, but just binged all three seasons and really enjoyed it. on apple.
BEEF. it's sooooooo goood and bizarre and wonderful in the worst (best) ways. on netflix.
trial & error. was an nbc comedy over too soon. on peacock, i think.
the river. likewise cancelled early, but it's horror on the amazon and i loved it a lot. idk where to find this one, but i'm sure it's streaming someplace as all things are these days.
not dead yet. which finished its first season recently is an easy watch & pretty funny. the MC is very relatable in an, "i am a mess" sort of way alsjdf;adfs. i think this is nbc, but i watched it on hulu.
movies:
everything everywhere all at once. i can't wait to watch this again. it was my first time in a non-socially distanced movie theatre post-quarantine and it was such a joy to hold my spouse's hand while i laughed my ass off and cried and yelled. love this fucking thing (as does everyone else, as they should).
you won't be alone. this is horror. body horror. it's pretty messy in parts but so so sooooooo soooooooooooooo good. it's also primarily in macedonian with subtitles and i'm not sure how hard it would be to track down.
the impostors. with stanley tucci and oliver platt is a comedy from my youth that i still think is one of the best of all time.
a goofy movie. idk, y'all, i just showed this to my spouse because it was referenced in an episode of atlanta (another great fucking tv show) and it's still just so funny and heartwarming and the music they made for powerline is so good.
spiderman: across the spider-verse. haven't even seen this yet but my god i want to so badly and i just know it's gonna be killer because the first one blew my mind.
anime (i'm probably not gonna come up with much here you haven't already seen or know about tbh but let's see):
blue period. especially as an artist, i think you might enjoy this one. i binged it in like a day and a half and thoroughly enjoyed it all very much. on netflix.
maid-sama! i actually enjoyed watching this anime so much that i then went back and read the whole manga because i needed to know how it ended. it was cute and expected and exactly the sort of low-stakes shojo i needed at the time.
ghost hunt!.i fucking love this little horror anime and am so disappointed it didn't get to go longer. there is a manga and also a light novel that are very worthwhile if you ever have the time.
i think three is all you're gonna get outta me for this category, but i hope something there sparks your fancy! thanks so much! <3

Finished Avatar the Last Airbender the live action and it wasn't terrible, it wasn't great:
I came into this show not expecting it live up to the original, after watching the Percy Jackson series, I greatly lowered my expectations for ATLA live action.
I understand the time constraints, 8 episodes just isn't enough to show everything, still I think they made some questionable decisions.
The stuff I was "meh" about:
-Cave of two lovers. I don't understand why show this now, when this took place during book 2
-Too much Ozai, Azula and fire nation. Why integrate Azula into the whole Admiral Zhao mission? There was no need for that
-Not enough the main trio bonding. The first 4 episodes felt extremely rushed. I just couldn't buy into Aang, Katara and Sokka being so close by ep 8. We just didn't get to see them have special moments with each other.
-No water bending training. How did Katara get so good at water bending? so good she was able to challenge Pakku? I guess she train behind the scenes...? Remember how Aang was such a natural at water bending, it made Katara jealous? little things like that was missing. Cutting out the fire nation scenes to include these moments would have been the right thing to do
-Avatar Roku man. Just I don't know, not the Roku I remember from the original
-Aang being afraid of fire bending. That was so important in the original. They didn't even touch up on that
-The reason why Aang left. Here he just went out to clear his head. The impact of what happened was greater in the original bc Aang was scared and ran away. Something so easy to not change. I don't get it.....????
The stuff I was "whoa" about:
-The cast obviously. Everyone was on point. Sokka even sounded like Sokka lol I'm not ngl, actor for Zuko impressed me the most. I see some complain he wasn't angry enough.....but like he kept being so mean to his soldiers and that was totally in character
-I liked how they mixed several stories together. Aang saving his friends, angry forest spirit, no face (forgot his name) spirit, aang getting captured and rescued by the blue spirit, aang and zuko talking, was all combined and it worked. Like that was actually well done
-Avatar Kyoshi is the baddest, need I say more?
-The cgi. Top tier. Thank god. The bending looked so good. Appa and momo looked amazing
-The sets, the costumes and makeup were awesome. The crew killed it.
-The brutality of fire......I was shook at that one dude getting burned alive and just showing the attack on the air nomads was a great opening
-Showing Sokka's trauma. Made me feel for him more than I ever did and that's saying a lot
-Zuko’s crew being the same soldiers he saved from being sacrificed was an unexpected change and I loved it
-Episodes 6, 7 and 8 were good! I think these episodes saved the show for me
Overall, I think it was pretty good for what it was. Could have obviously been loads better, but whatever lol Ima need for people to keep watching and rate it high on Netflix cause I want to see Toph! I want to see Ba Sing Se. Hopefully, the showrunners take all the criticisms and make a better season 2. I give it a 7/10. On a tier list its in B+ tier (maybe a A-).

i want to continue my previous tags rant by saying that instead of being mad succession got so many emmy nominations
be happy that such outstanding art can STILL BE MADE today in this fucked-up streaming climate where shows get cancelled bc they didn't meet some absurd, made-up viewing number the day they dropped
like some shows need space to breathe & grow & succession is definitely one of those. it's not made for immediate, fast consumption (although i did binge it on my first go) but for careful contemplation & processing of every episode. the weekly episode drop definitely works best for this type of show & i'm glad hbo stuck with that instead of just uploading the whole season at once
but lemme tell you smth netflix would have cancelled this after S1 no question about it. re-watching the pilot, i think it's a v well-balanced rendition of the themes & the characters' personalities but it's not a zany, snappy, easy to digest production (although it has a ton of jokes). you have to pay attention when you watch it, this is not suits or emily in paris. say what you will but succession IS one of a kind in its excellent and consistent attention to nuanced characterization. it's proof that you CAN manage such a task with an ensemble cast and within the constraints of the 10-episode season format (*cough*hotd*cough*)
and it feels like this type of media is in danger of disappearing rn, so succession getting the credit & applause it fully deserves + the wga & sag strikes happening atm can only be conducive to the creation of more quality, exceptional media in the future
#succession#2023 emmys#seminal historic show gut-punching heart-wrenching etc etc#we're always talking about raising the bar in terms of better storytelling + attention to themes + characterization#well succession IS it baby#like were there other good shows made in the past year? probably#but as well-balanced and sincere? now that's the question#succession's ruthless dedication to its themes & message is unparalleled

Bc of you i really wanna get into Ninjago (/pos) but it's so, what's the word, much? Like intimidating there are so many season it seems like and so many character hhdhshah
Can i ask what your fave character is and why and howd you like describe the vibe of the show? Then I can know what to expect w energy of the show and the first question is just bc I'm curious aha
okay so this is gonna be long sorry.
i also thought the amount of seasons was intimidating but i actually find that it was really easy to get through? i think i binged it all in like a week 🧍🏻♀️(but uh, i did stay up a lot and usually multitasked) the seasons are very short(usually 10 eps) , and later on the episodes get short too.
there’s also new characters introduced every season, but it’s very centralized around the same cast of characters all through, which is like Lloyd, Nya, Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Wu, and later on Pixal. so it doesnt feel like a lot to me.
I also think i enjoy the show a little differently than other media? Like it’s just good fun for me to watch. there’s several factors.
1) It holds a lot of nostalgia for me, because i was superrr into this show as a kid, 2) the way i enjoy the show is much like playing with legos as a kid. you have all these legos and crazy ideas, and you spin it all in different ways into what is sometimes a nonsensical plot, but its fun, 3) it is aimed for kids, so it’s easy to find it lacking in areas, but my absolute favorite thing is watching the team dynamic between the main characters bc it feels like they actually like each other😂 it’s the main thing i watch it for tbh
It’s not for everyone obviously, but idk watching the storytelling and animation improve/change throughout the seasons is neat bc in s8 holllyyyy shit it gets a whole new aesthetic, and it’s also really fun to kind of take elements that the show presents and do some Thinking and Creating in my head
my favorites are Zane and Kai—Zane because i grew up connecting to his character a lot and he’ll always be special to me, and Kai bc he just sort of falls into my stereotypical type of favorite character 💀 . His characterization isn’t always the best and the writers sometimes miss opportunities with him but i just really like Thinking about him and the potential types of character development he could have 🤷🏻♀️
So yeah theres the pilots which are really hard to find, but there’s a twitch link to them (pitched down)
Pilots 1/2, Pilots 3/4 (40 minutes in total)
Then the rest are on netflix(they’re separated into two titles tho), except the day of the departed special which isnt there fsr :P
S1-2 are fun and nostalgic to me even if they’re a bit uh, obviously at aimed kids. they were also meant to be the only seasons, but the audience liked it so it kept going. I feel like something shifted in the air around s6-ish though, and then again for s8 idk.
if youre really plot oriented or super into intense intricate world building, or not into shows that can be simple and aimed at kids, you might not enjoy it..? but if you just like seeing wacky plots w fun characters then you might like it ^_^
#WOW THIS WAS A RAMBLE#sorry this is probably more than u wanted#clam answers#ninjago#its just Vibes man i like the show#im gonna ramble more in the notes#so sometimes it has bad writing#comparatively when i watch a show like Titans which also suffers(more) bad writing im like. What is this shit#Bc even tho the plots bad its not even fun and i dont like the characters. they dont like each other#it takes itself seriously and fails to deliver#same w voltron too kind of loooolz#obviously I want good writing but w ninjago I guess I’m like…more lenient w it?#it knows what it’s vibes are and what to expect out itself and so I do too if that makes sense#like if it had stellar amazeball writing I’d be thrilled but I like the characters enough to rotate them in my mind#and do my own writing n thinking of their arcs n stuff#I have no idea what I’m saying it’s 2 am ignore me

incoherent wednesday rant
god just NO thread in wednesday goes ANYWHERE and it’s so frustrating!!!! like i know it was netflix’s latest lazy nonsense but my GOD lol
i was thinking this is one of those mediocre shows that would have been improved SO MUCH by having just a simple theme. The one I was thinking would work so well with so little effort was something like “what makes a monster?” — and it almost felt like the show WANTED to go there but got caught up in its weird unearned plot twists or something?
it’s easy, and would tie so many weird threads together—gently imply that Wednesday is a monster for what she does in the beginning, even tho she’s just doing it to stick up for her brother, and then tie that into how she more and more gets caught up in her own version of events and certainty that she’s right, and actually let there be real consequences for her being wrong??? people get mad at her for using them to achieve her ends but then they stay mad for like???? a scene at most even tho wednesday doesn’t apologize or show any remorse, and it makes everything feel so unearned.
with the what makes a monster theme, the students of nevermore would be very understanding of wednesday at first bc they know what it is to be different/outcast, and gradually lose faith in wednesday as she uses them, until ultimately they recoil when she plans to torture what’s his face. that would give that moment actual MEANING—up until that point, wednesday’s friends were like, we get it, she shows she cares in her own way, we do too, but no, this is a step too far, this is a monstrous act in our eyes.
Flip side of the coin with uhhhh plant lady? thornhill! the twist would be more satisfying if literally anyone cared about or trusted her or had any sort of opinion whatsoever—this could work in SO many ways; she seems genuinely kind but everyone mistrusts her, she seems genuinely kind and everyone trusts her except for wednesday, even wednesday comes to trust her, she seems overall nice but there’s just something kinda Off about her, possibilities virtually endless. as it is the twist feels UNEARNED like everything else.
UGGGHHHHHHH AND WEEMS they almost went there with weems—she’s harsh, she’s calculating, she’s done some monstrous things, but ultimately she’s on the side of protecting the school and its students, a reveal we don’t even get to bask in for ONE GOT DAMN SECOND!!!!!!!!! i’m so pissed her character was so underutilized lol as per usual writers accidentally made a character too cool for them and didn’t know what to do
god i cannot remember a single character’s NAME ENID okay, enid was done such a god DAMN disservice, she’s a fascinating character, she has great fodder for a personal story arc, there’s an easy tie-in to “what makes a monster” re: her getting her wolfy powers at exactly the right second (which btw, stupid—needed her to struggle more w feeling inadequate, going her own way, or preferably getting her wolfy powers at a very inconvenient time)
you know i do feel as usual a lot of this was ruined by heterosexuality lol, like they didn’t really do all that much w the love triangle and xavier feels extremely pointless, i don’t mind the twist with tyler except that i think it’s stupid he went all full serial killer at the end, i think i’d have preferred “unprocessed grief as an uncontrollable monster” metaphor but you know that’s just me. and actually i think the show could have benefitted from playing with hinting that enid or even wednesday might actually be the monster.
also lol @ the worlds dumbest filler episode let me fix it for you—weems was in love w morticia and deeply resented gomez, weems witnessed morticia stab whatshisface and wanted to frame gomez for it, not realizing that gomez was perfectly happy to take the fall for morticia himself. also this isn’t super related but i think it would have been neat if the reason weems and morticia fell out is bc weems once used her shapeshifting powers for nefarious reasons (nothing too bad, just trying to gently sabotage her relationship w gomez) and morticia caught her and was very hurt and betrayed. what i’m trying to say is that episode bored me to death and justice for weems 2kforever.
okay this has been insane but my computer is in the shop so i’m unsupervised thanks for your time.
