Dancers are essentially ambidextrous. So is the Winter Soldier.

There’s an expression: Never give a sword to a man who cannot dance. I think the Winter Soldier’s lethal coordination originates from Bucky Barnes’ dance prowess. While Bucky Barnes is a right-dominant person in his everyday actions – reaching for a wrench or using chopsticks – he is ambidextrous in his Fighting Mode.

When “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” came out in 2021, episode 5 established that Bucky is right-handed. Online, there were many people who cried out that ‘Hydra had brainwashed the Winter Soldier to be left-handed’ and included the supporting screenshots of him wielding various weapons.

Hydra did NOT brainwash Bucky to be left-handed, they trained him to be efficient. Efficiency is about removing unnecessary elements; what’s more efficient, having to move one gun from side to side or having a gun in either hand? But having a gun in a non-dominant hand requires more training to be a good shot. Hydra had to train him to be able to kill with either hand.

(Now, the knife-flipping in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is highly inefficient but it’s so. damn. COOL. It’s some of my favorite choreography. I don’t care that it’s ‘unrealistic’ I will die on this hill.)

I argue that Bucky was a prime candidate to become an efficient assassin, in part because of his dance background. Canonically, Bucky is a dancer (in both the MCU and the comics, but for this essay I’ll be looking at the movies). Dance requires a balance of the body’s abilities. Performance dancers must drill every technique evenly on the right and left sides, so they are prepared for any choreography given to them. But even social dancers must engage their whole bodies with surprising amounts of coordination.

Bucky would have learned to dance in the 1930’s and 40’s and many popular dances of the time could be adapted for three dancers. In “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Steve skips out of a double date, leaving Bucky to take both women out dancing. It is conceivable that Bucky would have been able to dance with them at the same time. This further indicates ambidextrous conditioning.

Another element of dances from the 30’s and 40’s is an ability to improvise. Yes, there are specific movements and sequences that are learned, but to lace these steps together while moving in a space with other couples (or trios) requires quick-thinking and a keen awareness of the environment, skills the Winter Soldier demonstrates consistently.

Even though Bucky is never shown dancing, we can assume that his skills are at the very least proficient, if not outright exceptional. Again, in the first Captain America movie, he asks Peggy Carter out dancing when she looks stunning and he looks like he’s just survived a POW camp. This is not the action of a man who cannot dance. This is someone who is sure of his ability to provide a pleasurable experience on the dance floor no matter who his partner may be.

To circle back around to my original topic: brainwashing someone to be a lefty is stupid. But, speaking from experience, training someone to be so adaptable as to be ambidextrous makes a lot of sense.

Not me coming out of a very bad and ongoing depressive episode wishing to not be alive every fucking day because [insert ten million reasons] in which I haven't seen or talked to anyone for I don't even know how many days or weeks just to bitch and complain about this:

I mean, it makes sense. Of course they're going to adapt this story. I am not surprised.

But it' still annoying. I hope, that if they do actually go through with it and it doesn't get cancelled for whatever reason, they fix the writing, the dialog, add more showing and have less unnecessary telling/narration, fix the villain, and work on the fucking relationships/ emotion/ tone of the story.

I like the concept. I really do. But the execution in the comic is just ... I don't like it. I really really don't like it.

-----------

DISCLAIMER: These are my personal opinions. I'm not saying people need to agree with me or are wrong for liking/ being excited about this news. If you like it, hooray for you! I'm glad this brings joy to you/others. This is just my venting.

#shut up zak #for a story about loosing your entire fucking family it's very emotionless #and i'm sorry but i find casey marie irksome #i hate the ending so fucking much #it's so dumb it goes against... ack whatever #whatever #it's just make believe characters i'm fine i'm fine #i'm not fine obvs but that's for other reasons

Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941)

I am watching every movie based on a DC publication in release order, for more information, see my pinned post.

First movie, Adventures of Captain Marvel from 1941.

Release Date: 3/28/1941 (This is the offical release date but also confusingly not the date the film was released, but instead the date that the sixth chapter was made available to film exchanges.) IMDB Rating: 7.2 Age Rating: Passed Runtime: 3 Hours, 36 Minutes/12 Chapters

GENERAL -

Adventures of Captain Marvel is considered the first comic book character adaptation ever. Captain Marvel (now known as Shazam) was not owned by DC at the time of this serials released.

In general, the plot is about Billy Batson going on an archological expodition with a team, meeting a wizard, gaining superpowers, and then his team steals this artifact and then they're hunted down by a masked villan called the Scorpian who they very quickly realize is a member of their own group.

MY REVIEW -

Is this movie good? Questionable.

It has not aged well, and I wasn't expecting it to have, but oh boy, is there a lot of rascim in this thing. Otherwise, it's engaging enough, if repetative, and it's very often uninentionally funny. The format that serials of the time used means that every chapter ends with a cliffhanger, which often leads to unnecessary drama being added that you can guess the resolution to before watching the next part. This also didn't need to be as long as it is, and there are often plot points that were definitely added just to add runtime.

That being said, I think Frank Coghlan, Jr. as Billy is an extremely likeable lead. He's generally sweet and charasmatic, and I like the movie most when Billy, the female lead Betty, and their friend Whitey are together.

I think the action scenes are well choreographed if a little silly, and all of the actors are pretty good overall.

Final Rating: 4.5/10

Would I watch this again? No. Maybe if it was shorter.

RANDOM THOUGHTS -

Billy Batson spends this entire movie getting knocked unconcious. In fact, all of the characters do. There is so much head trauma in this movie, it's unreasonable, but extremely unintentinally funny. I wish I had coutned how many scenes end with or contain a character just getting knocked on the head and going unconcious, it has to be upward of twenty. Also, when Billy wakes up, he's always gaged, even if other charcters who are with him aren't. This makes sense considered that he has to say the word "Shazam" in order to turn into Captain Marvel. However, it absolutely *doesn't* make sense when you add the knowlege that absolutely nobody knows he's Captain Marvel or that Captain Marvel needs to speak to use his superpowers.

There's one scene where Captain Marvel rescues Betty from a group that kidnapped her and then turns back to Billy before she wakes up. Before she got kidnapped, she was attempting to get to a certain location before the bad guys, and Billy assures that he'll get there faster on his plane, and then brushes her off when she attempts to go with him. I saw this and was thinking "Ah, yes, Billy Batson, who is Captain Marvel, who can fly, does not actually own a plane, and will instead turn into Captain Marvel and simply fly there with his superpowers." Imagine my surprise, when Billy then goes to airport and gets into an actual fucking airplane. Why did that do that?? What was the point??????? The man can FLY.

I think I am far to used to modern superhero comics and movies where, like, "should the hero kill the villain" is posed as a tough moral quandry and the answer is usually "absolutely not", because Captain Marvel kills SO MANY PEOPLE. And not even the main villain, someone else kills the main villain, Billy just throws a henchman off the roof of a parking garage at some point. He gets his powers and immidiately goes lethal.

I'm also extremely used to the Captain Marvel/Shazam narrative of "very young boy gets superpowers and looks like an adult", which means that this movie's "young adult man gets superpowers and turns into a just slightly older but different man" is very funny.

FUN FACTS -

To achieve the special effect of Captain Marvel's transformation, the production team apparently put a trough of flash powder in front of Frank Coghlan, Jr. who played Billy and ignited it, which apparently lead to Frank Coghlan, Jr. losing a few eyebrows if the wind was particularly unfavorable.

Frank Coghlan, Jr. also apparently did not know who Captain Marvel or Billy Batson were before getting the role.

They used a paper mache dummy to achieve the flying effects from far away. It is incredibly obvious when they do this and also very funny.

Hi!! <3 I'm @beanghostprincess (this is just my main acc) and I think you're one of the few people I've seen who don't like OPLA and honestly? Props to you for saying it out loud because I think people are just so protective over the live-action I never feel like I can talk freely and honestly about my real opinion on the show. So, if you don't mind, I'm just gonna drop here the biggest fucking text ever about it. You don't need to reply if you don't feel like it, but I'm so glad to have found people who probably feel the same way as me about OPLA.

I liked the live-action as in a "the cast is amazing and it was enjoyable to watch" way, but aside from that? The whole thing is just weird to me. I hate the direction, first and foremost. Most of the scenes lack emotion and proper stage indications and the shots are just... Not it. They use too many close-ups (for some reason I do not understand yet when the backgrounds they use are stunning and they could've used that to their advantage a lot) and insisted on referencing the "comic/manga style" the anime does when putting different shots of people on the screen when it doesn't look that good in a live-action if you don't do it properly (it could've been nice if the shots weren't always fucking close-ups. I'm a hater. I'm sorry). Besides, what's with the fisheye lens shots with blurry edges? It bothers me so much. And if I keep complaining about the direction and producing I might probably never finish, but I think a lot of scenes needed way more emotion and it's not only about the actors. They're great and they did a good job, but you can't expect them to carry everything on their backs and I think OPLA needed more indications in some scenes.

Leaving that behind, a lot of people keep saying that the changes they made in the plot are good because an adaptation doesn't have to be exactly like in the anime, because then it would be the same and the cool thing about adaptations is choosing the best parts to make people interested in the story and make them watch the original. And even though I sort of agree with this statement, the changes they made were utterly stupid even for a stand-alone show. I have different complaints about the characters (not Buggy, though, OPLA Buggy my beloved. And also Sanji, because I think they did it great with Taz and Zeff. Nothing to say there) but to summarize:

They ruined Nami's story and character. And it's not even because of the differences between OPLA and the manga, it's because it doesn't make any sense within the show itself. She grows too attached to the crew way too fast despite her personality and resilience to make friends. For some reason, she has a ton of scenes with Zoro that could've been used for a lot of character development and friendship within the crew as a whole or just between Nami and Luffy (which are the main focus in Arlong Park). Her decisions are rushed and don't make any sense with her character most of the time. The fact that she was the one to approach Arlong first but then she's seen as a prisoner instead of an ally is just stupid as a whole. The fact that Nojiko hates her only to make more drama happen seems irrational and unnecessary to me, honestly. And the fact that Luffy hears her story? When the whole point is that he doesn't want to hear it? It drives me insane in the worst way.

That being said, now that I mention Luffy: He's wayyyy too vocal here, I think. Like, I'm glad we can see more of his POV but I think the fun about Luffy's character is that you can read between the lines of his character and just get what he wants to say with actions instead of just words. I get that he's very direct and blunt most of the time in canon too, but when it comes to Nami? They don't need words. So the whole "Nami getting mad at him for letting Zoro be hurt and saying verbally that not everyone gets to achieve their dreams" (which, again, doesn't make sense for her character and it's unnecessary) and "Luffy telling her explicitly to rely on them" (when, for Luffy's empathetic personality that adapts to what other people need, doesn't make sense because he'd choose a subtler and active approach instead of a verbal one). And in general, I think Luffy (even though I love Iñaki. Iñaki my beloved- This is a script thing and has nothing to do with him) needed more action and less talking. More physical communication. Less close-up shots for God's sake-

Usopp is only used as a comedy relief character and literally does nothing in his own fucking arc. So. Yeah. Whatever. I keep saying I'm not mad but as an Usopp fan I am indeed very mad.

Sanji is perfect. Mwah, mwah. My only complaint is that they could have used better takes when he talks about the All Blue to Luffy and do it in a place where he can look at the sea instead of being in the kitchen. But well, perhaps you can use it as a metaphor about him feeling trapped or whatever. I honestly think it would've looked better with more beautiful shots but meh, it's just a lil thing and I don't mind.

Then Zoro. A lot of people have complained about Mackenyu not giving the same silly energy Zoro has pre-time skip. And even though I agree wholeheartedly, I think he has the capacity to be like that and the main issue here is the lack of indications. I think that, if they had worked on his scenes a bit more, it would have been more in character. I have a lot of issues about the staging in the scene where he promises Luffy to never lose again, but perhaps that's just me and my silly little complaints.

I know they used the marines to make the show more interesting and have a main villain but it literally led them NOWHERE in the end. Not complaining about Kobymeppo because I enjoyed their scenes an insane amount and they're definitely a highlight of the live-action, however, most of the scenes they use for the marines could've been used to make the crew grow closer and make their personalities more accurate.

And etc, etc, etc. I have more things to say but damn this is long af and I don't want you to spend an hour reading my opinion on OPLA. I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't like the show much. It's good for the vibes and the actors but the show itself has a weird pacing and the characters are portrayed in a very rushed and artificial way, if you know what I mean. Idk.

Sorry for the long text </3

No I want this I want to spend an hour reading your opla opinions. I MADE this blog specifically for people to infodump back and forth with me. this is my intent.

you articulated almost exactly why i dont like opla too, i pride myself in being a pleasant person to interact with even if youre an opla fan but you know as an opla hater you're seen as That Guy and want to avoid being That Guy? Despite my smoke and mirrors, I am that guy.

if you mention to me that you enjoy any aspect of namis writing in opla i... try to be understanding? its really hard for me because namis writing in opla sends me into a rage filled fugue state. i also never ever just personally would ever want to interact with someone who thought that legitimately, it sounds like a nightmare.

i also have similar feelings on usopp (i think the way they treated him was weirdly racially charged? im white so i cant speak on this fully but the way he was adapted was certainly imo to the same level of bad as nami)

nami is just also a character who i hold really fucking close to my heart for a lot of reasons because i share a lot of experiences with her i feel i can articulate fully why her treatment in OPLA is so bad.

i say this all with the sentiment that i love all of the actors because i feel like they were playing deliberately to make up for the bad writing

(minus emily rudd who i will not sugarcoat this has the worst performance out of all of them which i dont think is her fault- inaki doesnt do as well at luffy as id like him to but when the luffy writing is in character in episode 6 only he does actually do very well. i just think the script is never ever on her side ever.)

So zoro and nami scenes. a friend of mine had a similar question to yours and i responded with "they didnt have the suicide-attempt flirting scene in this version and they felt they had to make up for it" but ill elaborate a little more here. in arlong park, that scene (and also scenes in previous arcs with zoro and nami bickering) and also sanjis scenes with nami in the baratie set up both zoro and sanji as people who like and respect nami.

ideologically, within the context of op itself the way they treat nami post her lashing out is affected by this, zoro respects her enough to see her as a threat (its more complicated than that but to simplify) and sanji views her as a complicated human being because of his own experiences and assumes the best of her. we all know this why am i repeating it? well OPLA fucks it up. it sets up zoro and namis relationship fine, which ultimately doesnt pay off in the end with this conflict because its essentially nonexistent within opla and is seen as "nami was OUR friend first" which is ... the fact matt owens thinks this is how this should go tells you a lot.

deep breathe in

speaking of which.

so i didnt notice this first time around to the degree i notice it now so i dont blame you but the sanji writing in opla is . quite bad (it just looks very pretty coming out of taz' mouth and also next to the absolute dogshit way the other characters were treated in comparison). the worst of it i think is his relationship with other characters specifically nami oh god christ they butchered that relationship so much.

i dont need to tell you why OPLAs sexual harassment joke played for feminism is bad. you know why its bad. but i think the way i previously thought of it as "namis writing being bad" is somewhat incorrect.

if you write sanji as unambiguously part of a sexual harassment joke thats bad sanji writing. (if you think the original jokes in op proper were sexual harassment jokes you can at least admit to them mostly being ambiguous and if they were it was never directed at nami, who fully was in control of sanji)

but it was confirmed in an interview that one of the showrunners of opla itself did an interview pre release to say that quote "sanji is going to be less of a simp" (simp has an entire history of sexist usage i do not think he was just using it because its popular slang now) which means at least one of the directors thought the issue with sanji is that he was being emasculated by nami.

and because he didn't want sanji to be emasculated, within the context of opla sanji does not treat nami preferably due to his views on women but because he explicitly has romantic feelings for her, which then does two things: 1. ruins his entire conflict with zoro and why its interesting in the first place. 2. makes him more of a creep.

it also spoils sanjis character, sanji is not a masculine person who is trying to fit into masculinity, and because of how the show views him as inherently all of these things he claims to be, the struggle with him and gender is not articulated on enough because the again. at least one of the directors thought that was emasculating and appearently that's all he gleaned from sanji and namis interactions.

i will say taz skylar is an amazing actor and can fucking act the living shit out of sanji to the degree where i do not blame literally anybody for thinking the sanji writing is good. its not good. its just comparably a bit less evil all of the time than everybody else is. (which makes him the best written OPLA character. but that's not a feat.)

before i get into my big point which ties into basically all of my criticisms with opla. inaki godoy is good at luffy when hes given a script that actually is in character for luffy and writes him fully as autistic. OPLA luffy is allistic but still adhd to me. also i will literally never forgive them for the comment zoro makes towards the beginning of the baratie it really felt like they were avoiding saying the r slur. okay. that out of the way

...

so i bring a "OPLA was politically censored" vibe to the party that nobody likes, like to me its just obvious and i cant believe more people dont talk about the fact a lot of changes made within the story that were bad were to accommodate political censorship?

like nobodys mentioned directly any political censorship from netflix publicly, but i dont know how to else to describe the changes within OPLA

luffy literally says "be a good cop" in this version of the story and koby is no longer treated like a guy who is annoying and ultimately wrong but well intentioned and is instead The Neoliberal Mouthpiece who luffy (despite in canon literally forgetting he exists) loves for some reason? also buggy is done well i agree but i cannot not factor in the fact they made him way worse in this version.

it wouldnt be a bad decision on its own but that compounded with like... garp getting all the credit for restructuring the marine base and the everything with him in syrup village (i literally have not finished opla syrup village because of the beginning. my fucking god) like it just reads to me open as a book that netflix did NOT like that cops were getting punched. its the little things, too?

like bellamere actually scolding nami in front of genzo for stealing the book and making her pay it back instead of letting her keep it? nobody would change that if they weren't going at it from a "i need to change this because politics"

this brings me back to sanji again and also what i feel ultimately factors into a lack of acknowledgement of the queer themes in op. i feel that even at its best points, the baratie (OPLA), refuses to fully engage with the material its given in a well intentioned manner? (this is a sidenote but the fact fullbody in OPLA is made to fight with a pirate instead of just. be fullbody)

I do not think sanjis struggle with masculinity was conveyed enough. its less that his shit is actively bad like the rest of them (except in scenes with nami) and more just. passively bad? which is frustrating. which then brings me into um so every single acknowledgement of any kind of bigotry that one piece does is not mentioned within OPLA at all or is really toned down. like khaladore. DO not get me started.

summarization on the thoughts on khaladore (because this post is already too long): they made him "not bigoted" and also not an abusive paternal figure towards kaya and yet somehow at the same time refused to handle any of the sensitive subject matter he tackles with any kind of tact whatsoever? speaking as a khaladore fan who enjoys his protrayal of abuse within op itself and its one of the reasons i was first endeared towards one piece...

maybe OPLAs showrunners shouldnt be adapting a story with a lot of sensitive subjects if going by how theyve historically handled them theyre dogshit at it. just a thought. acting cannot save everything.

EDIT: source for oplas showrunner calling sanji a simp

#modposts #(for proof) so i wrote this as soon as you sent it and then immediately whenever i get up after going to sleep ill post it #asks #long post #OPLA #one piece live action #negative #like people say the queer themes in op were aknowledged. they absolutely were not #i feel like in a lot of adaptational changes they actively made issues for themselves in regards to the sensitive subject matter #we should really be friends though i happy stimmed when you sent this last night #so thank you

I just finished ms. marvel the show for the first time. so short answer is: wowwww but long answer is: it has some positives and negatives.

Let’s start with negatives.

Changing Kamala’s powers. I know kamala isn’t as popular as some long time heroes but embegging is her whole gimmick! It’s like if someone took Peter Parker and gave him the powers of a snail and was called snail-man. And her powers are so cool too. I was so excited to see CGI stretching and polymorphic powers, you can do the hands part via literally iPhone camera, how could the whole marvel budget didn’t cut it?? No we got to have… light, for some reason. I’m just scared that other adaptation are going to do the same like in some new comics or games or something, I really, really hope not

Misrepresentation. This one is debatable, because as Muslim, the bar we have for American shows to represent us isn’t even on the floor, it’s lower, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that they didn’t 100% mess it up. But still there are so many minor technicalities, that might seem minor for someone outside of the religion/culture but for those are part of it, it’s a really big deal. Like some scenes, doing wudu with nail polish on, posting in the masjid, a dad telling his son to stop praying, so many words used in the wrong context, the whole djinn concept just shows that there was no Muslim opinion taken into consideration during filming.

the so many love interests. Like, 3, seriously, one wasn’t enough?? There shouldn’t even be one, but I digress. And just all the scenes involving the romantic subtext of each one literally made my blood boil. Literally this whole point could summarised to just the boys, they were so unnecessary.

And now let’s get to the positives, because despite the points made previously, I really enjoyed this show.

The representation. As I said before, it’s perfect, but it’s not bad. Then again, the only thing we share is us being Muslim. I’m Arab where kamala is Pakistani and these things heavily affect how people practice Islam, and also I live in a Muslim, Arab country where almost everyone is Muslim where kamala live the US, a place where she’s a minority. So of course there will be differences between our experiences. But I love how many arabic phrases were spoken during the show, the Eid scene, the masjid scene, the whole wedding episode. It was all so good and nice and representative.

My favourite thing about the show honestly is how artistic and stylised it is. They weren’t very consistent with it, but it was still good. All the different fonts and styles for the ms marvel intro was so amazing, I want to screenshot every frame. The credits are so well done too. When they want to show how daydreamy kamala is and there’s doodles around and different pieces of media incorporated in that. It was all so creative. The intro captain america scene was one of my top 5, to be honest

I love the costume design, especially kamala’s. They were all so modest, obviously. But they also showed Kamala’s personality, through her drawing and patches and just the colours and everything. They were so many stars and bolts, It’s just so similar to how I dress.

The progression of her relationship with her mom. I genuinely think that there’s no greater or stronger or closer bond between two people in this whole wide world than between a mother and her eldest daughter, and this show is only one of the many many examples of that. And it’s so relatable and realistic, like her mom being overprotective and hovering because that’s the result of generational trauma and how her mom was too distant, and she was just doing her best and just wants the best for her daughter and Kamala is such a sweet girl. So many of their scene together made my heart melt.

Centralising not just family, but the matriarchs in the family was such a smart move. because mothers truly are the ones who make families and heritage and everything is always tied back to them. Something something the souls of mothers residing in their daughters. The whole partition train episode had me bawling my eyes out.

The rest is just some things I love about kamala generally in every adaptation/timeline/universe

I just really love how unapologetically nerdy and dorky kamala is. She’s such a fangirl, she loves comics and superheros (usually women) and of course captain marvel. And she engages in that, she draws and make projects and her whole room is decorated in what interests like her. I just really love people like that, both fictional and in real life. (I may be projecting but I feel like it’s giving adhd, like it’s giving hyperfixation.)

Showing the brown girl experience of idolising older white women and wishing that we could do everything they do, but still believing that we can’t because of a variety of reasons but then overcoming that and doing the things you wanna do your way anyway

Just how good kamala is. She’s so polite but still speaks her mind respectfully. She helps people all the time even when she doesn’t have to. she’s always so nice and sympathetic to everyone. And even though she can become a giant, that is her greatest strength because people always want to repay her goodness and they always want to help her back. And it’s just so heartwarming.

Tonight on Anime Girls' Night we hit the episode of Monster where you finally hear the entire Nameless Monster story and Tenma's attempted assassination of Johan with the library fire.

One of the live action anime adaptations that's brought up is Guillermo del Toro's interest in doing Monster and how unnecessary it would be, because there's nothing really to adapt, it's in many ways a straightforward mystery thriller that just happens to have been a serialized comic. It's probably the least cartoony of Urasawa's work, with very few characters occupying that extreme Tezuka Star System area.

But the same could be said about how unnecessary it was to adapt the manga into an anime. It's probably one of the most faithful anime adaptations I've seen. None of the little story nooks are dropped, you could compare panels with screenshots and find little deviation.

I was riveted by tonight's episode. Unlike the recent adaptation of Pluto, Monster is a workmanlike anime. It's no big budget years in the making series of mini-movies. But I was enraptured and then tense, holding my breath in the final moments, even though there's no actual narrative tension for me as a viewer.

The Nameless Monster section was done with animation just different enough from the regular narrative to be striking, given enough motion that the Nameless Monster looks a bit flipbook in his animation. The choices of what to animate and how, instead of just leaving it as static illustrations, walks a line between funny and unsettling that doesn't leave you feeling horrified when you reach the final line, but simply ... weird. The subtle wrongness of the book is conveyed while also being fully 'yeah that sounds like a kid's picture book'. The repeated elements are key there, as is the dedication to what you know would be a full page where the only text is the eating sounds.

The part of the episode in the library builds dread and tension with very little action but well-timed cuts between Tenma hidden with his sniper rifle, Johan in the wings, and Schuwald before the audience. A large portion of the episode is Tenma not shooting but it's effective as hell.

As everything goes to hell, something about the animation on Schuwald's pale blind eyes evokes the techniques used at the beginning of the episode for the storybook, seeming to tremble, the only mobile part of his stunned face.

oh no oh god oh noooo noooooo arrrrrghhh :((((

i have a comic planned. most of the art i make is of two particular characters from it. both of them have too much info to just dump all at once and expect people to comprehend at all. i will try to keep this as short and concise as possible for your convenience.

(this will most likely be long winded anyways. i have a lot to catch this page up on)

so. here i go.

this is tsuru. shes my first oc. shes been here for a good long while. shes also the protagonist of my comic, and probably the biggest mess of character lore i have. its always an uphill battle trying to put her lore in particular into words with my terrible grasp of the english language. i will try my darndest.

shes chill. been on earth for 17 grueling years, but had to age mentally tenfold to stay safe in her situation. a bit of a mess, but shes not alone in that. lives by herself in a very low-income part of town actively being strangled to death by the mayor, but manages to scrape together the materials to keep herself afloat. big hardworker with a skeptical but loyal heart.

shes immortal, she can only die if her heart is ripped out by another immortal being. if she gets hurt, flowers that bud from her heart stitch the wound back to its original state. the flowers are scorpion grasses. her immortality brings her great grief.

she also has an entirely separate power. she produces a strongly acidic blue acid in her wrists and mouth. with that acid, she can burn into peoples skulls and access and mess with their memories. she is intended to consume any memories she takes, and her immune system is made to detect and make her vomit out any regular food she consumes, however, her power is "deformed" and her immune system confuses memories for regular food, causing her to vomit them out. that makes her incredibly skinny as a result, and unable to properly consume food. she still does anyway though, she loves food.

her deformities tend to get in the way of regular life. she's supposed to be able to control the amount of acid she produces, but is unable to, therefore struggling to eat with regular cutlery, brush her teeth and share food or beverages, among other problems. she manages to adapt, and has special-made dinnerware and cutlery that is resistant to her saliva. she also brushes her teeth with her finger.

the immune system deformity would have killed her immediately if it werent for her immortality. shes thankful about it, but also a bit sad about basically being a hair away from death at all times.

most other information is unnecessary at this point in time. i will add a fun(?) fact though: she cant read or write. she never learned how :(

this is yuzuru. shes fun to draw, mostly because of the hair. shes part of the main cast. i feel like her character is just a huge amalgamation of things i find awesome in a funny way. awesome sauce, even. really brings out the inner skateboarding dinosaur in me.

shes also 17 but woefully brain old. she has like 5 different huge jobs and commands a huge army of lackeys. (unwillingly, ill get into that.) shes sweet but oh, oh so very stressed. a little spicy at times. maybe a bit drastic. little unstable even, but very kind and understanding to her friends.

she doesnt remember anything about her past, but was supposedly whisked away as a little kid to have her potential exploited and made into a multi-purpose killing machine by a cult that occupies her part of town. her time during her hay-day in the cult was spent hexed by a control spell cast on her by the leader during her initiation. the hex brought out a new, violent personality that overpowered her base personality and occupied her body for most of her life.

long story short: the hex was partly dispelled by a traumatic event that slapped her mental ass so hard her old self came out for the first time in years. the semi-dispel was enough for her to communicate her concerns to a witch doctor who gave her the instructions to almost completely dispel it. even mostly dispelled, the violent persona still occupies her head and causes her great discomfort in her day-to-day life.

sorry for the terribly angsty backstory. it is how it is.

powers not too interesting, she has syringe nails. she can retract needles from her nails and suck or inject liquids like a regular syringe. liquids are stored in specialized glands in her palms. shes also immune to regular human dosages, she needs 3x the amount of a regular dosage for whatever chemical to have any effect on her.

thats relevant to the main (non-murder) job she performs at the cult. shes a doctor and is in charge of the medical department. shes also a medical researcher on the side. has tons of diaries dedicated to documenting research. thats a topic for another time.

she also rides a chopper motorcycle and cleans up corpses left out on the street. also has a massive collection of motorcycles. this is one of the childishly awesome parts i was talking about. shes so bad to the bone badass skeleton image.

i think thats enough blabbering. ive done it, the thing ive been dreading. at least now that ive aired out these two angsty goobers i have finally thrown out any shame i had that was keeping me from screaming oc stuff into the tumblr void.

i am so sorry for making you endure this. i swear its all better in my head.

heres a good image to heal the cringe wounds

Let's play some "Lyta's Child" speculation game (spoilers for the Sandman : original graphic novel, and its Netflix adaptation)

I hate to be that person who goes "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CONNECTED THE DOTS" but me and my two brain cells did connect some dots and it refuses to leave my skull, so here comes a highly unnecessary, highly illogical ramble from old me

warning : spoilers for later plots and narrative arcs of the original graphic novel of The Sandman. Proceed with extreme caution.

So, during the course of Season 1 of Netflix’s adaptation of The Sandman, Lyta Hall’s child was conceived in the Dreaming, and at the season finale, she has given birth to a boy in the Waking World.

(by the way, I fully approve of the showrunners’ and by that I mean Gaiman’s decision to change the conception to take place in the Dreaming with her already dead dream-ghost of a husband, unlike in the comics where she was already pregnant in the waking world/her corporeal form, and only delayed its parturition by both her and Hector absorbed in Jed’s dreamscape. It gave a more streamlined and logical emphasis to the audience, especially the newbie audience, that this child is impossibly made in the Dreaming by a process only possible in dreams, and its existence was only transferred to the Waking World by Rose’s Vortex power. The change made them understand (despite, maybe, not approving how he delivered the news to a clearly troubled woman seconds after disintegrating her husband in front of her eyes) Morpheus’ point of view when he callously stated that the child belongs to him, who is the very embodiment of all Dreams)

People who have completed the 10 paperbacks that comprises the “main story arc” of The Sandman will be aware that this child is IMMENSELY important to the latter part of the Main Plot, in scopes even beyond the reach of The Sandman proper. Because this child is Daniel Hall, the imcumbent Dream of the Endless of the DC universe, after death of the Previous Dream, the facet of Dream that comprises the persona of “Lord Morpheus“.

In the Doll’s House issue of the comics, and in the netflix series, we do not see Lyta naming her child. This is because Morpheus visits Lyta later, at the start of the Season of Mist (book 4 of 10 of the Sandman), and names the child himself. We have from the mouth of the Gaiman-shaped horse himself that if there is going to be a Season 2 (many many crosses made so that it does happen, I’d combust if they don’t renew this) he will cover the storyline of the Season of Mist, with the second battle between Morpheus and Lucifer. Which means it is VERY likely that Morpheus will visit Lyta in season 2 to see the baby himself and name him (Lyta, in the comics, curses and hates him for claiming the child as his, but accepts the name Dream gave to the child)

There is one conversation in the Vortex Arc (a.k.a. adaptation of The Doll’s House) that...I do not think was present in the original graphic novel (I had read all of them, but I have lost them, so the books are not available to me now, so if I’m wrong then I’m a clown lol), but comes out more than once in the Netflix series.

It’s this sentence, first told by the Corinthian to Jed Walker, while he takes Jed to the cereal convention to be a bait for Rose. The Nightmare tells the boy,

“You ever notice how people only ever use your own name when you’re in trouble?”

OK, this is something a poor traumatized boy who was abused by several adults in his short life can agree and attach himself to his current captor, and something the Corinthian, whose “The Prodigal Creation” nature has been further explored and elaborated in the Netflix adaptation more so than in the comics, can reiterate and relate to himself.

But at the season finale of The Sandman, Jed says that sentence again. To Lyta’s Child.

And then he takes his own spin on it.

“As long as you don’t have a name, you can’t get in any trouble.”

Jesus freaking christ. That foreshadowing made me GASP.

It can’t be assumed that this is just some silly words by a boy. See, in the Netflix adaptation, Jed Walker was, despite in his make-believe pocket dreamworld fostered by Gault, The Sandman. This sentence was, uttered by, a representation of The Sandman. The Name that signifies Dream of the Endless. When Morpheus saw Jed Walker as the Sandman, he did not show the cold cruel mockery that he showed to Hector posing as the Sandman in the comics. He smiled, and despite not saying it out loud, Tom Sturridge’s acting made it crystal clear that Dream thought it cute more than insulting (but ultimately, he saw it was a dream held by Gault, then the story quickly progressed from there, which Dream chastising Gault that humans cannot be stuck in dreams. Hm, Lyta, did you hear that?). Also, this representation was held up by a child who is “a child of the Endless”. A clear statement made by Dream (who is Jed’s great-grand-uncle, lol), that Jed Walker is, of the lineage.

One could argue that Jed is just parroting the words the Corinthian told him. See, you see from season 1 that our ‘be gay do crime’ tooth fairy-man is pretty good with handling little humans, right? Who babysits toddler Daniel Hall during the course of the Kindly Ones? THE FREAKING CORINTHIAN (mk.2)

Now, I confess, I don’t know where this will lead to. It may be that Neil is just giving us little sprinkling of additional narrative breadcrumb trails that would ultimately lead the audience to the exact conclusion that the graphic novel lead us to, the preparation of Daniel Hall as the Heir to the Dreaming, and then his ascension/sublimation as Dream of the Endless after Morpheus has his tragic, heart-wrenching final meeting with his beloved elder sister.

But there are changes that was brought to the Netflix show that plays the story differently. Is it too delusional to hope that maybe the Netflix show may have a different ending? After all, Morpheus in the Netflix series is less resistent to change, more malleable, he seems softer, more emotive than his acerbic comics self, while staying true to his grumpy moods, emo-ness and obsession with rules (but he explains it better by saying to Rose that he has to have rules to govern the dreaming lest the chaos of unchecked dream rips him=dreams apart) Also, Lyta in the Netflix series isn’t a lonely woman left to fend for herself, driven to instant spree of vengeance by believing her son kidnapped, she has her friends, Rose, and Hal who said he will be moving to NYC and probably will be in touch with them. Now, when she was in labour she did push Rose to kill Morpheus because she thought he’d kill the baby, so it would still totally make sense if the Netflix version decides to stay faithful to the comics, at least not deviating that much from the main plot, but look, if there is a possibility that there might be a less heartbreaking conclusion to Morpheus’ tale, one can only hope (as the Fates told Calliope)

Of course all my speculation will only even be relevent if Netflix renews the series - so, yeah Netflix please renew the series or else I'll cry

#the sandman #morpheus #jed walker #rose walker #the corinthian #lyta hall #daniel hall #the sandman spoilers #spoilers #dream of the endless #rant #ramblings #here be spoilers #my poor little meow meow #i mean morpheus #that ugly loser dude is my weakness

Superman & Wonder Woman: Being True

There seems to be this notion that when Superman and Wonder Woman are together, they see themselves as above humans or they lose their humanity is utter bullshit. There has been zero evidence of this in canon comics. Using goofy alternate shit like Injustice doesn’t make the argument either.

It was also said that they bring out uncomfortableness. Why? Because it’s acknowledged that they are different and not conforming to what’s acceptable as the norm? Well so be it. In the real world, no one lives for someone else’s comfort. You can miss me with that selfish entitled bullshit.

There are claims Superman and Wonder Woman needing to be anchored to human love interests to be relatable or lower themselves to be “normal”. No, no, hell, no. Lois Lane and Steve Trevor are not why Clark and Diana are the heroes they are. Clark and Diana were heroes, had their purpose way before them. Lois and Steve aren’t and should never be their motivation to do what’s right and what they were meant to do and be. Clark and Diana are far more “human” than any normal human any damn way. They selflessly make shit ton of sacrifices without any hesitation. What they do as individuals or a couple is on extraordinary levels and there’s nothing wrong with that. Flying across the skies like free birds is such a beautiful thing. Trying to cage these birds, ground and limit them is unnecessary and a shame.

As best friends with unresolved, underlying feelings or the Power Couple, it has always been established, their duty as heroes come first. They have been each other’s moral compasses, written to have complexed conversations about their purposes, the view of the world, open to each other about their deepest feelings etc.

To reiterate this again, Kal-El is from a different planet entirely. He is an alien. He may look human in appearance but he is not. He was raised to pretend to be normal but he is not normal. Yes, the Kents raised him with good morals and values but that sure as hell does not mean, he had to grow up to reject his heritage, and keep pretending to fit in and the mental gymnastics. Pre-Crisis and New52 Superman understood this assignment. Post crisis Superman, not so much. Superman was once the Champion of the Oppressed. He was to aspire and lead to better. To make a difference in a world of corruption. What happened to that? Now he is just stagnant, stuck in a comfort zone of pretending, romanticizing lies and being unethical at times. Protector of an outdated view and status quo. As well the obnoxious problematic depiction from the beginning of Rebirth of perfect privileged spoon-fed all American family that basically screwed up DC continuity even more so to force it as the “truth” or “real”. Superman/Kal-El/Clark Kent should be one in the same. Not choosing one over the other as one is fake/disguise. Ironically, in the animated adaption of “Throne of Atlantis”, Clark himself said to not be “one of them, but to blend in.” This was before the asspulled contrived asinine 180 of his character for Death of Superman adaption.

Diana of Themyscira is a Princess from a secluded island that was separated from man’s world for its chaotic bullshit. Yet, she wanted to explore the world, learn and teach, bring peace and people together. She celebrates life and love, stands for truth with one self and others. Motivate and fight for equality and the protection of women and children. Majority of Diana’s iterations have been consistent with this attitude. Except rebirth, who had to be thrown into a mental institution and losing herself because spiteful writer’s bias. You really expect me to believe homegirl was living a lie and in some kind of illusion within her mind or whatever for 10 years? LOL no. Although, she is a DemiGoddess, Diana is still very much an earth woman. And I mean that literally if we go with the clay origin.

What I loved about new52 Superman was his motivation to be Superman was the PEOPLE

Diana is the Goddess of Truth after all. To hide who you are, what you love and enjoy is a disservice to oneself.

The two together bring something unique and challenging. They have their similarities and differences that compliment.

But they don’t change who they are for one or the other. They learn from each other, accept even more of each other, and grow together as a couple.

In this day and age, we celebrate what makes us stand out and be our unique selves. Superman and Wonder Woman are suppose to THE epitome of this!

On first seasons and adaptability

Seeing Wheel of Time fans sort of humbly recognizing the first season wasn't great but it's okay since [insert perfectly reasonable, but still subjective points] is wild to me, because no, it was a really good first season in comparison to many of my favourite shows.

It's not rare for TV shows to stumble in their first season, but still find their footing later on. I genuinely don't think The Wheel of Time swayed at all. Many choices feel pointedly intent in their understanding of later arcs from the books. That should be a source of relief for book fans.

I had never heard about the books before and the show got me to embark on a reading journey that's thrice the length of Proust's Recherche. If this isn't a win for book fans, I do not understand what they wanted an adaptation for.

The last time I had been this excited for a weekly release was Ted Lasso. The Wheel of Time is well-made, enjoyable, often thrilling, with lots of heart and ambition, and most importantly very intentional, and all that from the start. I watch too much TV and these really aren't a given in a first season.

This is making me very curious about what people consider a great first season? What are the criteria, beyond viewing numbers, for a good or bad first season? I personally believe it is about introducing to a world, establishing themes and yes, ensnaring watchers the way a skillful storyteller grabs your attention.

Regardless of how the shows evolved afterwards, some of my most memorable first seasons are Elementary, The Good Place, the OA, GoT (begrudgingly), Pitch, for instance. Note that my favourite shows aren't in there.

In fact having a great first season is a rarity, most of us have to wait for the second or third season for the lore to kick in (Person of Interest) or the tone to feel self-assured (Star Trek Discovery). Which isn't necessarily a defect! This is what working with a long format like TV entails.

To expand on the Wheel of Time first season particularly, the argument I have seen the most is the faithfulness of the adaptation.

I am putting aside the fact that I don't think an adaptation has to be a faithful translation to be a good one (Jackson's Lord of the Rings, still one of my favourite movies) for the sake of the discussion.

To me, as standard Fantasy show goes, it's a great show so far. As an adaptation, it is so clever, both incorporating tiny blink and you'll miss it fanservice-ish elements (Aes Sedai taking back trays to in their rooms) and bigger commentary on the main themes (the Stepin arc and what it means for Lan, Nyn, Moi and Rand). The latter is often decried as being unnecessary invention, but this is where the question of adaptability comes into play.

Regarding what would be better referred to as the unadaptability of TEotW, I hadn't read the book before watching the show. Some of my favourite scenes are in fact in the books and never made it to the screen (Nynaeve and Moiraine's discussion about Aes Sedai, White Bridge). Some depictions didn't match what impressed me so much in the books (the Blight, small angry black-eyed Moiraine).

Yet, as I read some, I knew it would not work on-screen.

It's a different medium!

When I was 19, I started planning what was essentially a five acts tragedy about the events that led to the burning of the ships at Alqualondë (in alexandrins, please) from the Silmarillion. Spoilers: I never finished it, barely started it.

TV shows are as different from novels than ballet is from comics. It's not only about codes and norms, as creating in a particular medium often comes down to simple abject feasibility: you can with great difficulty have 3000 soldiers on stage for Le Cid.

But here's the thing, it's often from these very practical limitations that creation is born. Take the Ways: in the books, they captured my imagination the way some of Tolkien's best descriptions did, but there was no way to depict it without tons of CGI. It was bound to look silly. The show's answer is ancient, alien and vast, with visual echoes to our world, as it should be.

It's brilliant, it's stunning and it is an even greater hommage to Robert Jordan's mythology about Ogier and the age of the Ways.

(And I am not even broaching how great a job the show does editing the book, which is fascinating to me as I am making my way through the books. )

#The wheel of time #Wot book spoilers #wot on prime #Some Twitter reflections transcribed here for preservation #I cannot find anything on Twitter it's annoying #Remblai #Ramblings #Wot meta #There now it is properly archived #This isn't a condemnation of anyone who hasn't been happy with the adaptation choices btw #Just thoughts about first seasons and adaptations #Idek what prompted all these tweets apart from the fact that I am distraught I could not buy the blu-rays since they sadly do not exist

However — and here another spoiler warning is warranted — Bassett revealed that the decision to kill Queen Ramonda was not a plot point she was very keen to initially. “I objected,” she said. “Yeah, I was like, ‘Ryan, what are you doing? Why? You will rue the day! You will rue the demise of [Ramonda]. People are gonna be so upset.'” Then Coogler, known for his cool-headed demeanor, explained himself. “‘He was like, ‘Angela, I know, I know, but look, to die is not really to die in this world. It doesn’t really have to mean that.’” -- Angela Bassett, IndieWire

At this point, the Black Panther film series is essentially rooted in normalizing and even glorifying black death.

Seriously though... The first time we meet T'Chaka, he's immediately killed and his death is used to motivate his son, T'Challa. N'Jobu is murdered by his brother T'Chaka moments after being introduced (preventing him from freeing his son's mother who dies offscreen), which motivates his son Erik Killmonger to go down a villainous path, which includes killing his girlfriend and Zuri, attempting to kill T'Challa, and causing deaths in battle before he chooses to die as well.

Now with Wakanda Forever, the real life death of Chadwick Boseman was used to kill T'Challa, removing a hugely important black hero with more than half a century's worth of comic material from the MCU before fully adapting him. While this was a massive mistake and frankly disgusting since they gave the character a similar end to the real life actor -- thus directly glorifying and profiting from a real man's death -- at least they warned audiences about it ahead of time.

But then they killed off Queen Ramonda.

That's right. This black family has been cut down to just Shuri (and a kid who is in hiding for some reason). So why was Ramonda killed? Apparently to motivate Shuri, because T'Challa's already unnecessary death couldn't have been used for that purpose? But then keeping her alive would deprive them of another opportunity to normalize black death.

It's amazing to me that Lee and Kirby were more progressive back in the 1960s when they created T'Challa and Wakanda as positive black representation than Coogler and Marvel are now when adapting their work.

Also, compare this to the Thor series where Odin was put in a magical coma to raise the stakes for the story rather than being killed off in his very first appearance. Not to mention Loki surviving several films before dying and then getting a series. I'm not saying Odin and Loki should have gone the way of T'Chaka and Killmonger. I'm just pointing out how easy it was for Marvel to dispose of black characters in comparison to white characters.

ill elaborate on this over the day i think but im very mixed on what i think about the w.i.t.c.h. reboot but uh. its mostly negative

first off, this is partially coming from a place of im just a fan of the comic and already didnt care for the tv show.

i mean... i liked the show as a kid because it was what got me into the series, but once i picked up the comics i knew it had my heart and it couldnt compare. (its very similar to how i felt about fma03 > going into the manga after)

but anyway, i think the reboot is of all things, just disney being lazy in making new ips of course. if theyre doing a full rework of the plot, characters, and costumes, why not just make a new magical girl comic? oh because of the obvious theyve been testing the popularity of the comic by rereleasing it over the past couple years, and now the ip is recognized enough again that they can use it to their advantage. definitely in the wake of winx getting their reboot (which i also think is unnecessary but i think the circumstances may have been different. which leads me to..)

i worry about what theyre going to do with the story in general. if its anything like the later half of the comic (ie new power onward) iiiiiii dont know if we need that. i personally dont think that was the strongest era of the story. it, unsurprisingly, came off as an attempt to haha... copy the winx by doing power upgrades and becoming even more glittery and pink and what i would call a typical "girls piece of media"

ofc side note nothing bad with that but again leading into another point

heh.. the treatment of the original team. its early and i dont quite remember all of the details but i do know that they were done dirty. I know for sure it involved barbucci and canepa, unsure if gnone was involved as well, but disney took that series from them. as far as i know, that series was their baby and disney plucked it apart into something they never intended it to be. barbucci and canepa haved regularly talked about their dislike of disney and their personal beef with them as a direct result of what happened with w.i.t.c.h.

it was their dark fantasy series that disney wanted to girlie-pop-ify to most likely have it compete with winx directly. completely going against what the team envisioned leading to their ? departure from disney. im personally not quite sure if they quit on their own or if disney fired them to make room for a more cooperative team but Still. the point still stands: disney is shitty in this situation

so just from the inital description and seeing will's transformed resign, it looks like... it will most likely go in the direction of being a direct winx competitor again and will continue to take the story in a completely different direction than it was originally intended to be. some part of me hopes tho that because will looks like an edgy hot topic kid that maaaaaybe theyll have some darker tone to it but uh.... again disneys reputation makes me think that wont happen lmao

if they really cared enough they would literally be like sorry og team, here do what u wanted. because uh. at least barbucci and canepa still regulary post about w.i.t.c.h. and share fanart and stuff so theyre still interested imo (again i havent followed up with gnone over the years but im sure she'd be on board)

i reaaaaally want to know if they even knew their series was gonna be rebooted like this or i guess however it ends up being. god i would do anything to read the nda they signed when splitting with disney.

but eh i also hope its good just for the sake it wooooould be cool to have new w.i.t.c.h. content (again sad its not like a comic accurate tv adaptation or like... the og teams work) buuuuuut this is suuuuch a comfort series to me so i wanna hope for the best

my nostalgia is probably ruining it for me and the fact ill already rant about how i hate the cartoon adaptation now dkdbksbf but eh i wanted to just dump my thoughts before starting my work day

#sorry if this shows up in the tags #dont read unless ur a hater jk jk jk #im the number 1 witch fan #i made this whole post back when the winx netflix dropped and people wanted a witch reboot #and i was like uh. get barbucci and canepa on the phone and thats the only correct way to do it #also me fksbdkdbf i would make a great witch reboot #LITERALLY MY WHOLE Floretwitch brand is bc im love witches bc of this series #jfjdjfnf theyre guardians but u get it #witchrebootthoughts
