The Mario movie thing is so funny to me. Here, look at this:
Sonic movies (1, 2, & w/ 3 on the way) come out, does INCREDIBLE in box office, decimates Marvel films, who previously had a stranglehold
Nintendo sees this, wants a piece of that pie, buckles down to make a Mario movie Incorrect order of events, as pointed out here! Mario movie announced before the public knew about Sonic movie.
(Potentially because the previous Mario movie was so out there, did poorly, & was disliked by fans & then promptly forgotten,) they pair with Illumination, a studio that is largely known for making very sterile films
Btw, is it just me that finds it weird that there is no mention from Nintendo or online of the previous movie, in all this? Maybe I'm the only one who remembers this film idk
They announce casting. Everyone immediately boos because they cast Chris Pratt as Mario.
Immediate outrage, as Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario for DECADES, was not cast in his claim to fame roll
There is a (unsourced) rumor that a test screening for the film was met with disappointment, making Nintendo unhappy
Slightly corroborating this, Nintendo buys Dynamo Pictures, to make Nintendo Pictures, with the intent to make future movies in-house
Anticipation for the movie likens it to other sterile animated movies of the last 10 years, like the Minions movies
Trailer comes out.
People continue to boo Chris Pratt, a bad cast for a beloved character who is putting 0 effort into his voice, in comparison to all other VAs putting in 110%
Chris Pratt goes to bed "depressed," at seeing the response I was incorrect, that is an older article, about when he was thanking his wife for providing a healthy child, to which people drew immediate parallels to his ex-wife's son, who has many health complications & needed many surgeries.
But with your help, we can make him being depressed after media backlash reality!
Of course they hadn’t been kissing! What a strange question. Though to be fair, their faces had been close and it probably could’ve looked like they were kissing from the distance that Jamie had seen them.
One of my favourite moments from Of the Northmost Winds and Skies by @jjackfrost aka how I cried for a Hijack fanfiction in 2022.
I honestly just want to say thank you to the author for bringing us such a wonderful story. I loved how in character everyone was, the slow burn was SO GOOD and the plot was a lot of fun to read! Also I'm still emotionally recovering from the last chapters and I'm blaming you because now I won't be able to watch RotG the same way.
On the plus side I can totally make some bribon wonderland soul plane yaoi now mwahahaha.
Also lord 'Bon's voice was hot as fuck (why does he sound so familar though???). Loved Susan's voice, Charlie sounded exactly how I expected him to sound lol.
Fuck man we all knew Felix regretted that crash but christ the way my breath stopped entirely when he was about to jump.
Everyone looked so damn good in motion I cannot get over it. Seeing 'Bon' kill Susan was brutal I was not expecting such fluidity. Loved the girlboss pose he struck afterwords tho #slay
Praying some epic secret hunters spot a Brian cameo like they did for ep. 3 lmao
listening to ppl react to brokeback mountain is such a great way to identify who is good at paying attention to subtext and who is not lol
so many podcasters have cited the scene where theyre on their last campring trip together and jack tells ennis he has a girl hes been seeing on the side as proof of jack's bisexuality or whatever and like. look. you can argue whatever sexuality you want for him, but if ur gonna do that, CITE A DIFFERENT SCENE!
the whole reason the scene w david harbour and anna farris was written into the script at all was so that later in the story, when jack's dad tells ennis that he had another guy who was going to come up there and live w him on his parent's ranch, we realize that the "rancher's wife" jack said he'd been sneaking around with back in texas was actually the same ranch neighbor jack's dad was talking about, meaning jack was lying to ennis
and thats also why ennis kind of freezes for a beat when jack's dad says that, bc he's making the same connections the audience already did. or at least was supposed to lol
Boruto things that made me lose my mind (ep 94-119):
I like how none of the kids from the original naruto teams are friends as adults lmao
Chocho: how could my mom love my dad? It has to be his ravenous appetite
Kakashi @ sasuke: lol u r so bad at bonding with ur daughter *proceeds to give him terrible advice*
Kakashi telling sasuke how to interact with his daughter: use a soft and loving voice. When you talk to naruto- (ok stop, let's appreciate your line of throught right there)
Sasuke @ sarada: I wanted to be hokage once (and babygirl that was one of your top 10 most fucking batshit insane moments)
OK the cursed marks apparently use genetic manipulation, which is odd and really interesting. I assume it works like a virus, inserting and expressing foreign... demonic? DNA. Weird.
Why are all anime scientists evil?
Karin: time to torch all these cursed geese 🔥 Sarada: no, stand back, I'll do it myself 😠
The more they say Karin is not sarada's mother, the less I believe it
...a goose they said was genetically incapable of flying flew away... fucking what? Just tying hard in exactly the same way as everyone else is not how you overcome genetic disadvantages like that????
Why all this moralizing abt kindness toward animals? This is a show where kids beat the shit out of eachother and murder ppl. Can we focus on not doing that maybe???
Orochimaru: hm looks like mitsuki is becoming too gay, we may have to delete all his memories 😔
Kakashi: why dont u wanna believe in ghosts? Mirai: if ghosts are real, why hasn't my dad visited me? (Hey kakashi, this would b a good time to tell her abt the time u spent literally dead? No? Ok cool)
THE CULT OF JASHIN?! HAHAHA. Losers.
Why tf do they even hold the chunin exams? Just promote ppl based on merit like they literally just did with shikadai??? (Historically its bc ppl like watching death matches)
The commercialization of the shinobi within the village makes me wanna spit and bite
Houki abt kakashi: the one who nourished lord 7th 😤 (is that really true tho? I mean he did his best but team 7 was a clusterfuck)
Konohamaru: there is no shortcut to becoming hokage! (Yeah sure but there is huge favoritism toward those trained by the previous hokage...)
Boruto: people aren't in love unless they overtly say it (I love to image this is how Boruto sees how ppl feel abt everything and that's y he's so loud and blunt abt things)
Random village: we stave off a demon by joining two bloodlines in an act of incest ✌️
Konohamaru, casually: my grandpa died by entering a deal with an entity beyond human comprehension 🤷♂️
read camp dama.scus. enjoyed some stuff, really wish i didn't have the experience so often reading a book that's Good and Progressive and about Queer Affirmation etc of feeling like i'm side-eying the author like 'and you know that delineating the people that oppose you as pure evil that therefore deserves torture or death or being eliminated from society entirely is bad, right? you know that, right??'
The Dean loves kids is such a THING lol, i mean its so cute how he was with kids, its so adorbs but i don't mind how he is with Jack at all when it comes to his characterisation, not even from a 'it makes sense given the setting' thing, hmm like a lot of actual Dean stans seem to be fine with it because they like Dean's individuality more than wanting to like him, if that makes sense, and his parentification is part of it, obvs Dean mistreated Jack severely and that's beyond him having to or being told to parent but like Dean says he doesn't want to mother and that's fine.
Dean said i am not raising a satan child again and he was valid, just saying.
