What Animal Has the Best Eyesight? Exploring the Incredible Diversity of Animal Eyes

Animal eyes come in astounding varieties, each uniquely evolved for a creature’s visual needs. But which animal has the outright best eyesight? There’s no simple answer, as different species excel in various categories. Let’s dive deeper into some top contenders in key vision areas. For low-light vision, the colossal squid stands above the rest with its dinner plate-sized eyes. These massive…

Me: Wow, the Netflix ATLA was better than what I expected. Indeed, it felt too rushed, probably because they were asked to do only 8 episodes like everything in the platform; but they were still able to capture the feeling of the original, and it was an enjoyable show. Not to mention the effects, those were so well done, especially Zuko fire kicks, I loved those.

Me: *checks internet opinions*

Me: Oh... I'm supposed to hate this adaptation.

#i don't by the way #i enjoyed every episode #loved the cast #loved the visuals #it obviously doesn't compare with the original #but that is because it is an ADAPTATION #impatiently waiting for more seasons #i want to se Toph!! #atla #natla #avatar the last airbender #avatar netflix #avatar aang #katara #sokka #zuko #iroh #ozai #azula #avatar

one of the greatest tragedies of none of the screen adaptations of Dracula being faithful to the book is that none of them include Arthur’s army of little terriers that he has to pick up and lift over the threshold one by one

#like the visual is so good how have there been a million and a half adaptations of Dracula and none have included that scene #whiterose says stuff #dracula daily #re: dracula #re dracula #dracula

lying awake in the middle of the night thinking about the adventure of charles augustus milverton ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE WHEN I CATCH YOU

#cant believe the wheel of hyperfixation landed on 'make a visual adaptation of the entire canon' #usually it's just like 'watch all the movies' or #'write an essay' #or 'annoy your spouse'

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’

#dead boy detectives #dead boy detectives spoilers #we’re accustomed to different nuances of (visual) language in diff media #by no means am i comic adaptation buff but i found myself frequently wondering why it felt so strange vis a vis pacing & writing #maybe it’s just a hallmark of the showrunners or directors! #i’m used to tv dialogue that is a lot faster and frankly uh seems to think more of its audience #a LOT of shots i think were meant to look like comic panels in the montages #devlin family house loop - the fire elemental potion - etc #but then there’s also these very TV Feeling Moments #i found it delightful but also super uneven! like multiple different shows were trying to climb to the top of the pile at once #it’s SUCH a mess to me (complimentary) #like lab grown to be fandom fodder but also i think quite accidentally fandom fodder in its shortcomings too

#i legit wanna cry rn #i'd be elated if the runtime of 2 movies would be enough to fit everything in--BUT IT'S NOT #i get it if S4 didn't perforn well enough to warrant a 5th season but what good will it do to resort to film adaptations #they're really trying to kill the series already😭 #anime #manga #haikyuu #haikyuu films #haikyuu final #haikyuu season 5 #haikyu!! #haikyuu!! #haikyū!! #at least that key visual is beautifully drawn... #hq #hq!!

Yeah free to think about kissing men (just watched the green knight. mostly I liked the part where he ate shrooms and immediately vommed)

#honestly I’d been putting this off bc I was obsessed with the original story back in high school #and as a story adaptation I don’t love it but I think dev Patel absolutely slam dunked the role!! #and it is just visually delicious. definitely stronger visual storytelling than anything #my art #sir gawain #dev patel #the green knight #sir gawain and the green knight #a24 movies

Anyways, I do hope that the Awakening film has encouraged more people to watch the show and fully see what the main characters are actually like and how fleshed out they are and how unique they are. Like a "oooh I really enjoyed this fanfic let me check out the source material" sort of thing.

I need more people to see how much Adrien adores Marinette's weird and silly goofy self whilst Ladybug adores Chat Noir's silly jokes and how she can always count on him. I need more people to see why Marinette fell for Adrien and why Chat Noir fell for Ladybug and why those feelings began to muddy themselves up because they were also simultaneously falling for each other's alter egos at the same time.

I need more people to see how amazing and wonderful Plagg is and I need them to see what happens when Chat Blanc pisses on the moon.

The film is enjoyable on its own if you treat it as its own thing but the show has EVERYTHING.

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous ladybug and chat noir #this is NOT salt by the way #you can enjoy two things and find flaws and pros in both #the show will always be my top favourite and superior adaptation with the manga following a close second #but the film really is fun especially when you just wanna switch off your brain and vibe with the gorgeous visuals and songs

“England had been the scene of momentous struggles, during my early boyhood. In the year 2073, the last of its kings, the ancient friend of my father, had abdicated in compliance with the gentle force of the remonstrances of his subjects, and a republic was instituted.”

— The Last Man (1826), Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Only 49 years until British monarchy is abolished…

#I wish this book had been as popular as Frankenstein #only to see the adaptations struggle with how to visually portray the 21th c as envisioned by someone from 19th c

i am once again committing to my stance that visual adaptions of orv can only truly hit if they commit to the act of hiding his face from the audience aside from/up until when the text itself reveals specific parts of him.

#orv #IT'S ABOUT THE ACT OF HIDING ONESELF FROM THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU #IT'S ABOUT THE FEAR OF EXPOSURE AND INTIMACY #IT'S ABOUT THE ORDEAL OF BEING KNOWN #IT'S ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE AND WEIGHT OF FINALLY BREAKING THROUGH THAT WALL AND WHAT IT TOOK TO GET THERE! #COMMIT YOU COWARDS!!! #my other take on orv visual adaptions is that the only kinds that could truly nail it in ways no other type of visual adaptions could- #-are a stage play or a live stream jerma dollhouse style #im insane but im correct

”Land of the Lustrous” is seriously such a GORGEOUS anime 🤧❤️

It’s devastating that they didn’t make a 2nd season for the anime adaptation 😭😭

all quiet on the western front is literally a movie discussing the futility of war, of how little boys sign up to march to their death because of propaganda fed to them by their teachers and mentors who prey on their idealistic view on life. it is a film that makes you watch death after death after death, without giving you a single cause or philosophy or ideal for you to soothe yourself with—because there is none. there are only boys and men, bleeding cold and alone on the dirt and mud. there is no worth. there is no reason. there is only death.

and you reduce it to a "war movie". it's based off a book brave enough to depict the realities of war in the charged political climate of 1929, and you call it "the war movie".

#all quiet on the western front #oscars 2023 #i hope it wins best picture because it DESERVES best picture. and all of the awards its been given tonight #text #im fucking PISSED #its not just an adaptation filled with an important message it is visually and emotionally STUNNING #its a beautiful & haunting movie to watch — its filmed beautifully and i dont know camerawork #but all the shots where you can practically feel the camera tumble in the dirt with the characters......... #the way it frames paul's face during the last charge............. its all beautiful

one thing abt visibly chasind morrigan that’s super interesting is that it makes your ability to ask if flemeth is really her mother actually makes sense when it’s startling how fereldan flemeth looks and dresses when you’re brought there

#not in the ‘how could this white person and mixed race person possibly be related!’ idiot type of way but like #morrigan especially with her heavy coat with the mods i use looks so adapted to the landscape and at home #so when she brings you to her mother and she’s just a visually fereldan white woman in fereldan peasant dress you’re like. Huh. #and there’s something i quite like about her very normality to say a cousland’s eyes being so startling and out of place #in terms of the Something Is Off Here vibe but also maybe just believing she’s simply an apostate on the run #combined with her ability to put on a very different guise in the later games lmao i like the shapeshifterisms of it as well #she could take any form but shes confident enough to choose the one that sets off warning bells and dare you to challenge it

Every Film I Watch In 2023:

259. Doctor Sleep (2019)

#doctor sleep #doctor sleep (2019) #2023filmgifs #my gifs #that was wonderful #such an excellent clever and sensitive adaptation #of such an important healing and deeply personal novel #i knew Flanagan would get it right #and even with the changes he made to the ending #i understood and accepted why he did #this ending is frankly what i expected from the book #but King was much kinder and much more focused on the healing #Flanagan chose to focus on justice for Wendy #because god knows Kubrick fucked her over completely #and i will never forgive him for that #so my fave line from the book had no purpose in the film and i got that #such fantastic well considered visuals #it was long and i loved every bit of it #it felt so well paced and true and faithful #and if Katie Siegel wasn't pregnant #she would have totally played Rose The Hat #i just know it #Rebecca Ferguson was amazing #everyone gave such good performances #and i loved the use of the score #i've been too afraid to watch this ever since i read the book #cos i was terrified of seeing Mrs Massey #but Flanagan got me through that with a sort of immersion therapy and i love him for it #this is why i watch horror #to look steadily upon the bad thing and survive

Watch Nimona, guys.

Watch Nimona and then go buy the comic and also read Nimona, cause as nicely streamlined as the movie is they did change the style quite drastically (proportions and stuff, I’m not on abt the 3D-ness or the adjustments to make characters visually fit their cast better) and Nate’s original art is GOOD, and they left out some things I really liked in the comic (where was big buff guy nimona you monsters ToT) and comic has slower pacing that lets you have some more time w the characters, yada yada

NIMONA GOOD, CONSUME NIMONA IN ALL ITS MEDIA FORMATS

#nimona #nd stevenson #I have been a nimona stan since long before either nd or me had our respective top surgeries #I own that shit in book format I need you to understand how FEW THINGS I own in physical formats #don't get me wrong: movie incredible very good #as good a movie adaptation as one could've made for it in terms of writing (and animation/visuals good too) #but alas #I am a comic person I must also preach abt the comic #I do also appreciate that 'letting the transmasc comic idiots have big movie budget for their stories' now has precedent #as that will come in very handy for my own career
