You think the angel final season is getting bad wait till you see the canon follow up comics of angel and buffy it was a train wreck. It’s like they tried to do what charmed did and show us the world more but failed
Well the sad thing about it is that Angel season 5 is still significantly better than s4 was. The bar is low but at least Cordy got to be Cordy for one more episode and I've been liking the more one-off nature instead of the drag that was season 4.
But Fred's death sucks. The whole "gestation" thing also made me think that she pretty much died for the same root cause that Cordelia did and I've expressed how uncomfy that mystical pregnancy storyline made me. Fred's fate is only marginally better in that we'll still, presumably, have Amy Acker but she too was sacrificed as a character to give birth to a new Big Bad. Together with Darla that makes three for three out of the major characters on Angel the Series who are ultimately killed as part of a pregnancy-esque plot. And I. Hate. It. You could argue semantics that Cordy didn't die because of the pregnancy, as such, and Fred's plot is less overtly a mystical pregnancy but tbh I don't care. It's a pattern. It's the three most important female characters this show ever had. And all of them are gone.
My somewhat unrelated ramble aside, yeah I don't think I'll read the comics. I'm tempted by Angel & Faith because brOTP goals and in general Faith stuff but I've already willingly spoiled some comics things for myself after finishing Buffy. I'm not that much of a comics person and I've heard they weren't great so I read up on them on TVTropes and didn't like what I heard. Shame because I would have liked to follow the Scoobies' journeys but I'm not gonna get into a medium that will just inevitably piss me off. I've heard bad things about Buffy's characterization and character dynamics. And I'm genuinely very sorry that the last three seasons of the Buffyverse are pissing me off in such ways lol. Again, Angel s5 is still better than s4 but my god can they stop killing off my girls. Actually, none of my girls are left 💀 so what do you know, they probably will stop.

mob tells reigen to shut up accidentally... two!!!
abbreviated ID: An mp100 comic. Teru tells Mob "shut up" can be a reply to something funny. and mob later tells reigen to shut up after he tells a joke, shocking reigen. Full ID under cut
[ID: A black and white Mob Psycho 100 comic. Mob smiles and says something marked as “[funny comment]” and Teru laughs hard, clapping Mob on the shoulder and exclaiming, “Oh, shut up, Kageyama!” Mob sweats and says, “Oh, sorry.” Teru, frowning, asks, “Huh? Why?”
Mob says, “You told me to shut up?” and Teru holds up his hands, looking apologetic. He exclaims, “Oh! No, no, no! That means I thought it was funny!” He flusters, smiling weakly and trying to explain. “When someone tells you to shut up and they’re laughing it means it was funny! Like uh... uh... Okay I can’t explain it but you know what I mean.”
Mob looks away and says, “Not really...” He smiles at Teru. “But I'm glad you thought it was funny.” Teru rubs the back of his head and says, “Ahaa yeah! I did!”
The view cuts to Spirits and Such, where Mob is writing at his desk and Reigen is scowling behind his. Arms crossed, Reigen says a “[snide but funny remark]”. Mob gives a “hehe” and smiles, “Good one, master.” The background turns dark gray as the view zooms in on Mob and he, still smiling with big eyes, says, “Shut up!”
Reigen’s mouth parts as his expression goes to blank shock. The background behind him is stark black. End ID]

Steve, in the middle of a live-stream, points to a miniature that he’s just noticed on one of the shelves in Eddie’s studio, “Hey, who’s this?”
Eddie, briefly looking away from the stream, “That’s a demogorgon.”
Steve scoffs, “That’s not a demogorgon.”
“Yes, it is,” Eddie says like this is actually a conversation that they’ve had a lot. “Wheeler is just shit at naming things.”
“I think El named it actually.”
“Well, someone should have corrected her!”

Man “Battle Nexus: New York” was a great episode but I do have one major gripe with it.
Like. Raph being paired up with Ghostbear? Makes sense. Works great. Works amazing, even.
Mikey being paired up with Meatsweats? Yeah that checks out!!
Donnie getting…Hypno…? I mean. I guess Donnie doesn’t like magic so it kindaaa works but Kendra would have been a much better choice to me personally. Maybe Big Mama didn’t wanna include a human or something…
And Leo getting…uh…one of the Sando Brothers???? Of all villains? Nah let’s be real, his main villain is more Big Mama herself (or Leo could be considered his own worst enemy lmao-). Hell Hypno would have probably worked better here considering their shared love for magic tricks and stuff, but Carl Sando????

what i like about ascendant astarion is that he’s completely undeniably pathetic. he’s scooby doo levels of cartoon villainy. he monologues on and on and on about ruling baldur’s gate as a diabolical overlord when every plan he has ever concocted is some variation of “step one: succeed at task, step two: profit”. if you kick him in the nuts he throws a tantrum and leaves your party. guarantee you he either he dies in a ditch in a few months time or he spends the rest of his days regularly getting thwarted perry the platypus style
