#as an adaptation... 5? 6?

[reineyday]

finished watching netflix atla! i think the hate is unjustified lol like all that hate seems a little too intense for what i think the show missed. it didn't hit all the same notes as the original show, yeah, so i'm not sure it quite succeeds as an adaptation, but as a standalone show it's pretty good. and i might have some gripes with the characterization, but there was love in the casting and in the costumes and the world, and that goes a long way for me.

#even tho the costumes DID look reallt new lol #rei rambles #natla #as a show i'd give it like a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 #as an adaptation... 5? 6? #the pacing was kinda weird and katara could be meaner but she wasnt terrible #sokka having a confirmed Thing with suki undermines the way his *first* girlfriend became the moon but that's also whatever #i actually LOVED the way they gave more to iroh and zuko about lu ten #and i heard ppl were mad abt azula which is like... why? she barely appears???? #as for ozai being more emotional--i GET the gripe i do. really. i just. i am not immune to daniel dae kim okay. #been weak for him since i saw him in hawaii five-o and lost okay #first big asian man crush. only handsome asian man on north american tv for a very long time. #im okay with them humanizing ozai if it means more daniel dae kim ngl #narratively sure yeah it sjpports the zuko's and azula's characters better if he unequivocally sucks #but if they're gonna give him more acting meat i'm not gonna mind in the SLIGHTEST #but anyways yeah they v clearly spotlighted iroh & zuko over some team avatar stuff and i'd be more about it if it wasnt done well #but i actually liked it so i dont mind at all #zuko and iroh were super great

I mean people are allowed to critique the show. Especially when it’s so bland. Disney is a multi million dollar company, Rick was directly involved in this project, and yet so many changes were made that don’t seem to fit the characters or completely change their motivations.

And on a production level, things like character’s clothes and setting feel lifeless. Not to mention, watching scenes in complete darkness.

#The darkness thing… who started that? #why am I being robbed of sight #sure just have voices floating around #pjo ep 6 #pjo ep 5 #pjo adaptation #pjo tv show #pjo tv crit #pjo critical #annabeth chase #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #percy series #the lightning thief

Reading the fleetway Sonic comic now and

I'm convinced that Tails is his special little guy??

I mean, he's an asshole, no doubt, but he passes up a party (mind you, he loves being celebrated as a hero so much) to go looking for Tails

He goes looking at his "favorite place" and literally dons shades and a worse attitude at learning Tails was taken

He genuinely cares about him as his buddy? Sure he complains about him or insults hin fairly often, but he clearly likes having Tails around enough to want him back??

Are we gonna talk about how Tails breaks free from Robotnik's control because he can't bear to keep hurting Sonic, because he cares?

This scene too reminds me so much of that scene from Fang the Hunter issue 1 where Tails called for Sonic and Sonic bid himself to be patient and not lash out because Tails is his friend. Like again, Fleetway!Sonic is an asshole, but he's holding back when it comes to Tails even a little bit

There's just constant proof whenever Tails is put in danger or captured that Sonic cares about his well-being. In fact he cares so much he just kind of is just indifferent about those he puts in danger by zeroing in on saving Tails (and those he saves he doesn't necessarily save with intent to). In this issue specifically, Sonic, the animal companions with him, and an unconscious Tails get washed away in a current of water, and rather than worry about his own well-being or those of his companions, he yells at them to keep ahold of Tails in the water so he can take care of the badnik.

Personally I feel like this sequence speaks for itself? Although Sonic is fairly confident, he risks his life on the chance that he can steer the Death Egg off course (and we're not even factoring in whether he can escape in time), and sends Tails away in the only escape pod. He literally gambles his life on this act of saving Emerald Hill and worries first about securing Tails', even if only Tails may end up escaping.

There's also the setting? Tails crying for Sonic and calling him the bravest hedgehog he ever met, Sonic reacting like he didn't just narrowly avoid death and that Tails is just stating the obvious, the two of them floating down in the escape pod during the sunset

I don't have the picture space to show it, but there's also another part of this issue where Sonic continuously nags Tails to stay out of danger and to let him handle everything alone, and then (after falling into a trap), starts talking to himself about how glad he is that Tails wasn't around to see him make such a rookie mistake. It's easy to read as Sonic always leaving Tails behind because he doesn't think much of him or thinks he'll be in the way, but I don't think that's completely true! I get the idea that Fleetway Sonic likes having his buddy around just as much as he wants his buddy to be safe. So he brings him around everywhere he can, but he forces him to hang back during the dangerous bits. And that's not to mention how this issue showed just how much Sonic values Tails' opinion of him.

And BOY does this scene get me

It's like

This is the first time Super Sonic ever appears in StC. Are we going to ignore that Fleetway!Super Sonic stops attacking and reverts back into regular Sonic because of Tails?

This is like Mecha Sonic in Archie's Mecha Madness special all over again, except Fleetway!Super Sonic is under no one's control. He stopped attacking because Tails bids him to remember them.

There's just so many little things about them in my reading so far that I almost can't believe it (and would hit the tumblr photo limit a number of times if I were to show it off)

If I had to label their relationship in StC, I'd say that, to Tails, Sonic is someone he admires greatly. He doesn't seem to be fond of Sonic's attitude (largely when it's aimed at those other than himself), and he expresses criticism as to how vain Sonic is and his eating choices, but ultimately he cares about Sonic enough to stick around with him and go on adventures from time to time. For Sonic, I think Tails is someone he secretly likes having around. He often criticizes him, and depending on his mood he'll do it whenever he gets an opening, but he's also just...bad at feelings. When Tails is in danger, he'll zero in on saving him, almost above all else, and then when he saves Tails he's going off about how he can't trust Tails to be alone, angry and annoyed. He's a jerk, but a jerk who cares more than he lets on about Tails. Tails isn't just some admirer, he's important to him, and at the same time, Tails' is someone whose opinion of him he values. Ahsjsjs and....he's also the kind of guy who would say something like "Hey, that's enough! Only I get to bully Tails!"

Is their relationship healthy? No😂 But also in StC it also comes off like...they're both choosing this. Despite everything they choose to be buddies

Idk I'm fascinated so far😂

The Sonic the asshole and his special little fox

I think I’m gonna make this a whole post in case people didn’t see my reply, but this is the pace we’re going this season:

If we keep going like this, Bakugo’s sacrifice should be around episode 9, Deku’s Vigilante Arc around episode 16… and Bakugo’s apology around episode 22.

Also Tsuyu’s key visual for this season was the color page for chapter 320

and Bakugo’s apology is chapter 322.

#so again unless they change the pace………. #*comically loud nervous gulp* #season 4 and 5 adapted almost 70 chapters so looks like season 6’s on track to do the same #even if they add a couple filler episodes it can still fit… WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER THING… how are filler episodes gonna work in this WAR 😭 #if anything we deserve a whole recap episode for everything that has happened between bkdk #BUT ALSO even if they do manage to slow down and do 2-3 chapters per episode we’ll still get a majority of Deku’s vigilante arc #they have 3 options: 1) slow down immensely so the season ends before the vigilante arc (even though the pacing so far feels fine) #2) have the season end in the middle of Deku’s vigilante arc (which would feel off…) #or 3) keep going at this pace and get through the vigilante arc and Bakugo’s apology 😭 #bkdk #dkbk #bakudeku #dekubaku #:’)

It's mating season in my hermit crab tank, and batman fertilized gans eggs again. and he will not stop guarding her.

which is really funny because i opened the tank to do something, and he practically threw her at me because he thought i was a threat.

so like hes doing an awful job i love both of them.

#congrats to gan for clutch number 3 since ive had her #i only took her in like....5 or 6 years ago so it took her a bit to adapt to my tank then i updated the set up so she hasnt like #had eggs the entire time ive had her just the past few years #shes definitely going to do it wrong again and just eat all the eggs like she did last year #and honestly good for her mother of the year eat your young #batman luckily isnt being aggressive towards leviathan who is just chilling #unbothered by the sitcuation dkdkfldjf #fabtalks #fab talks #ignore me i never catch when gan has eggs this early so im very focused on this fkflskflsjd #tbh i might have gotten gan 7 years ago but most of if not the whole first year she was in a different tank so

ok hear me out here. wb and denis want to turn dune into a franchise, they have that bene gesserit show already in production. you don't end your main series after 3 movies so I think they might adapt children of dune, and maybe even god emperor just to wrap up the story. the last 2 books in the series are way too weird so that's never happening. or they might do children of dune as a tv series. bottom line is if the movies are making money they're not gonna stop making them. and dune messiah is also going to make a lot of money when it comes out because people like these movies they're events.

why are u saying such nightmarish things im shaking crying already wtf 😭 the worst thing that can happen to a good film (trilogy) is franchise building. I trust denis to stand his ground and end it with messiah. he knows what he wants and what he's doing and he should walk away from it exactly when he intends to do so.

#children of dune series? obviously id be down but 1. with part two ending the way it does who even knows? #2. there is no way u getting all these a list actors for an hbo show to close out their movie trilogy?? #3. not sure this makes any sense like. financially? #4. u couldnt do children in a single film. youd have to kick off a whole new trilogy and again i dont see either denis nor the actors #staying on for that #5. children hbo show with a whole different cast? maybe but not very likely #6. we have a perfect children adaptation at home anyways! its camp its a masterpiece its beyond reproach #asks #dunetwo

**** **** does not deserve coach of the year

#when you start on 3rd base and suck for a month #even if you started on 3rd base and didn't suck for a month #you don't get to be coach of the year #to me montreal has adapted and gotten better #and having gone through a hardship but only coming back stronger #that to me is coach of the year #coach of the year is pulling your goalie to create a 6 on 5 to score a game tying goal

I absolutely love Poke//mon so I tend to prattle on about it a lot when I post what I’m playing every now and then :)

#really having trouble adapting to the fact some Mons have bigger movepools or extra typings in this;; as well as adjusted evolution levels #don’t even @ me about the doubles and triples 6v6s (which is ALL GYMS (literally 1st gym 6v6 jumpscared me) and most Cher//en fights)) #I used to be a VGC player in my preteen/teen prime #I really started getting into it when I was 9/10 in 2013 tbh (gen 6) #though I’ve been playing Poke//mon since I was 4/5 on my silly hot pink DS

#space rambles #oh boy can’t wait for ace attorney news! #personally my thoughts on. if there was news what’s most likely: #1. some sort of anniversary or other small thing that doesn’t really matter. like merch or music or something. nothing New. #2. aa4 port/remaster. i would HOPE they’d port it without remastering cause i hate the 3d models but that’s SO wishful thinking #3. professor layton v. phoenix wright port/remaster #4. aa4 anime adaptation (i am riding that news of renewing the apollo justice trademark man) #5. aa7 #6. aai port (and probably an official localization of aai2 to go with it like with great ace attorney)

scott pilgrim takes off a solid 3/10 from me i'd say just read the comic atp

#i know it's not intended to be a direct adaptation by any means #BUT. that's no excuse for poor and confusing writing #the whole thing was just... baffling. and not enjoyable #those 3 points go to good animation and wallace wells #i cant believe im saying this but i like the movie more than i liked that. and i don't like the movie at all from a basis of accuracy #a lot of plot points didnt make sense. characters got almost 0 characterization #if i didnt know them beforehand i would be even more confused on who everyone is or why they know and like each other #scott and ramona's relationship at the end was just not believable at all because they didn't develop on it for more than 5 minutes? #because scott was missing for 6 episodes? why would she go so far for a guy she had a one night stand with? #im just. hrnnnngh #also the voice acting was dogshit will forte my saving grace the only ep i liked was 7 because he elevated it

things that dany would change immediately after taking the throne:

adopting linear primogeniture inheritance laws like in dorne

more extensive laws regarding consent in regard to marriage and adding an age requirement to marry

more protections for bastards and requirements for fathers of bastards to monetarily provide for their children and their mothers on a regulated basis

no more taxes on the poor, tax the rich instead bc it's very clear that a lot of these fucks are just hoarding wealth like jfc no wonder the kingdom went broke if they were pulling all their money from the people who have none to begin with meanwhile joffrey's wedding had like 77 courses for dinner

portions of food, clothes, etc. from imports and exports will be set aside and regularly distributed to those most in need, especially during the winter

schools!! teach these kids to read and write ffs maybe then the populace can help take better care of itself

#♛ ooc. ⊱ ❝ 𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪. ❞ #and I will give you the reasonings behind them #1. she is literally a woman becoming queen. why would she want to potentially exclude a daughter from her birthright? #2. she was a ch*ld br*de. no more needs to be said. she knows how awful this shit is. #3. her motivation is to protect the people who can't protect themselves and bastards get shit on by the whole world. ofc she cares. #4. she's been poor. she's personally lived through the gap in wealth. she's tired of The Rich in general after dealing with the masters. #5. again. she's lived through poverty. she wants to put people first. she will take care of them!! #6. ditto for 5 pretty much bc how is anything gonna change if the people stay stagnant. education = growth and better self conduct. #all of this shit she has seen firsthand #as much as I have issues with her whole meereen arc these are definitely some important things she would gain from that #she's a fast learner and good at puzzling things out especially now with some ruling experience #is she still young and naive? yeah. is all of this super idealistic? yeah. but she's still gonna try anyway and adapt as needed.

john hillcoat adapting blood meridian into a movie

#HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #on the one hand. hmm. on the other: john hillcoat is pretty good #I like his focus and story instincts and he's not shy about blood guts and gore. hmmmmmmmmm #back to the first hand: I did not like his adaptation of The Road #big mistake when a kid is written to be like 5 or 6 and you cast a 12 year old but don't change the lines or story #so suddenly a kid who's basically a teenager is being literally carried everywhere by his exhausted starving father #and shows a baffling lack of knowledge or awareness that'd be acceptable in a very young child #but not a 12 year old! even in an apocalypse! ESPECIALLY in an apocalypse! #...this is not what this post is about #I think casting will be pivotal. when we see what he's thinking cast-wise I think it'll be easier to tell how this will go #but Lawless is an all-time favorite and I really liked George and Tammy so.
