#literally what is wrong with netflix??

[bambirex]

Do I really have to wake up to the news that First Kill got fucking cancelled?????

#nooooooo for fuck's sake are you kidding me??? #we really can't have a wholesome lesbian show can we #literally what is wrong with netflix?? #i've also seen that the first season did pretty well so claiming that it had a low viewership is bullshit #it's literally just lesbophobia at its finest #I'm really upset right now #first kill

I swear there is nothing more insane to me than watching the n*tflix adaptation of Archive81 after listening to the original podcast and then seeing people not hating the show, it gives me such intense whiplash

#i mean like what you like and all that #but it just reminds me how podcasts and comics aren't a respectable enough medium to warrent faithful adaptations and that's INFURIATING #like god forbid a book adaptation get a characters hair wrong but a live action movie based on a comic can literally just do whatever #sure #we the fans complain but the people making it sure don't!! #anywho #soz 4 the rant #archive 81 #netflix archive 81 #dan powell

Steve and Nancy's story is complex and beautiful...and not everyone will understand it.

I pity the people who cannot, or refuse, to see the beauty in Steve and Nancy’s story. A story about how trauma impacts your relationships and the way in which you cope with traumatic events. A story about how in the beginning, these two teenagers were not compatible but attempted to make their relationship work, only for the shame, guilt, and blame to take over and rupture the relationship. A story about how it is crucial to acknowledge and understand your partner's pain, and be their support, their rock, their shoulder to cry on.

It is a story about a teenage boy’s fall from popularity, and finding his true self as a friend, a protector, a lover. A story about a teenage girl working to make something of herself, to establish an identity that is purely hers. A story about a teenage boy who works to rectify his past mistakes, and learns to give himself grace for being a human. A story about a girl being true to herself, trusting her gut, and believing in her capabilities without bending to everyone else's expectations of who she should be. A story about a boy who's love for a girl was so strong that it helped him change into a person she could trust and depend on. A story of a girl who sees this boy in a new light, and thinks maybe, just maybe, he can offer her a future of partnership, adventure, and love.

It is a story about how these two teenagers have worked to grow and heal (and how they will continue to grow and heal), and are in a better place now where they can be what the other needs in time. A story about a second chance at love, now that they are both in a better place to love the other. They're not perfect. They never were. Healing and growth are not linear. They will always have their faults, their flaws, and like everyone else, they'll hit rough patches along the way. The difference between Steve and Nancy then and Steve and Nancy now is how they handle the hard times, together. How they face them, together.

And the audience can see how Steve has changed, from a boy who was apprehensive of Nancy's drive to get justice for Barb, to a man who trusted her investigative instincts, offered to join her on her exploration, and told her to be careful. From a teenager who utilized avoidance as a coping mechanism, whose "go with the flow" attitude was a mask to hide his pain, to a man who confidently told Nancy that she is what he's always wanted. There was no avoidance. No shame. No fear. There was simply a boy, who has changed, telling the girl he loves that she is it for him.

And the audience can see how Nancy has changed, too, from a girl who pushed a boy away because his presence was a painful reminder of what, rather who she lost, to a woman who is slowly, slowly, learning that this boy is good, and he is safe. She welcomes him back into her life with ease. From a girl who held this boy at gunpoint because she did not want him involved, to a woman who includes him, and trusts him when he volunteers himself in the face of danger, and defends him because he is someone worth defending.

To truly understand Steve and Nancy's story, you have to be willing to see their growth. You have to be willing to acknowledge change and believe characters can and do change. You have to accept that they did change. And therein lies the problem. Many, many people are purposely choosing to ignore their growth, because it does not fit their version of what they want or think should happen. Many people do not trust or believe that these characters know what they want, or know what's best for them. You have to be able to see and accept who they are now, as opposed to who they once were. How their views have changed. Their morals. Their personalities. Their wants, needs, hopes, and dreams. If you're still holding onto who Steve and Nancy were in the earlier seasons, then you are closing yourself off to any potential understanding of who they are now. If you are intentionally misconstruing what these characters say to fit your own narrative, then you are choosing to believe you know these characters better than they know themselves. If you are perfectly content with misunderstanding their relationship and refusing to acknowledge their growth, then you will miss out on not only a delicate and beautiful relationship, but also a lesson: Second chances happen. And sometimes, people do find their way back to each other.

I don't know what season five will bring. I don’t know if we’ll get a happy ending to their story.

But I do know one thing. I pity the people who willfully choose to ignore a beautiful story about two people finding their way back to each other. That is real life. That is love. It's not always simple or easy. Second chances happen every single day. And how beautiful it is for us to witness the rekindling of two ex-lovers. That is Steve and Nancy's story.

okay at this point we're gonna have to accept that any attempts of a live action ATLA will always be cursed and will never be a good alternative to just watching (pirating cause fuck nickelodeon) the cartoon because what the fuck do you mean they're taking out gigantic chunks of Sokka, Katara and Aang's arcs/development/characteristics, showing the genocide at the Southern Air air temple and more of the Agni Kai between Zuko and Ozai while simultaneously having the gall to say "I mean, the characters, we had to dimensionalize them-"

The Big Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender Producer Interview: 'This Is a Remix, Not a Cover'

There are certain scenes that you never saw in the original, whether it's the attack on the Southern Air Temple or the Agni Kai between Ozai and Zuko. And those are things that I knew we needed to see in order to make it feel much more grounded as a live-action show. So it was about feeling your way throughout the process. Where can we take the story into the new directions that still feels true to the spirit of the original? And that's what it all comes down to, making sure it feels like it was Avatar in spirit.

Bending the Rules

And going back to those narrative liberties, was there anything in particular where you were like, “no, this is set in stone. This can’t change”?

AK: There's a lot of things like that, starting with the characters. I mean, the characters, we had to dimensionalize them, but there are certain core ... I would say there's a core DNA to the characters that you don't want to mess with, whether it's Aang, like I said, his childlike goofiness, his sense of humor, the burden of his responsibility, Sokka and his humor and his pragmatic outlook on life, Katara's warmth and her optimism. Those things had to carry through into our version. So you start with the characters, and you say, "What's the essence of the characters that got a big change? And what's the room where we can expand it a little more?" The cartoon, for as great as it was, was 15 years ago. And so, things have changed. There are certain roles I think that Katara did in the cartoon that we didn't necessarily also do here. I mean, I don't want to really get into a lot of that, but some gender issues that didn't quite translate.

My friend just watched it for the first time, and she's like, "Sokka's an asshole." I was like, "Yeah, no, he kind of is."

JR: Yeah, especially in the first season.

AK: Yeah. So we had to guard against that kind of stuff. And so, those are things that aren't really changing a character as so much as updating them a little bit.

I think one of the big questions is, despite all the remixing, is the point A and the point B still the same as the original?

AK: Pretty much. Yeah, I mean, I think the state of the world and the stakes of the world are still the same. So we decided to make Aang's narrative drive a little clearer. In the first season of the animated series, he's kind of going from place to place looking for adventures. He even says, "First, we've got to go and ride the elephant koi." It's a little looser as befits a cartoon. We needed to make sure that he had that drive from the start. And so, that's a change that we made. We essentially give him this vision of what's going to happen and he says, "I have to get to the Northern Water Tribe to stop this from happening." That gives him much more narrative compulsion going forward, as opposed to, "Let's make a detour and go ride the elephant koi," that type of thing. So that's something, again, that's part of the process of going from a Nickelodeon cartoon to a Netflix serialized drama.

And they say in regards to the original creators leaving: "But sure, having them leave was a blow. And we had to think about whether or not the vision that we had set forward really reflects and honors the spirit of what they had created. And we felt like it did, so we went forward with it. " idk y'all should've taken the hint goddamn ...

AK: But sure, having them leave was a blow. And we had to think about whether or not the vision that we had set forward really reflects and honors the spirit of what they had created. And we felt like it did, so we went forward with it.

If you could send fans who are anxious about the live-action show any message, what would it be?

JR: I think, as a fan of the show, they're going to get the live-action version of the show they've always hoped they would get.

Albert, anything to add?

AK: This is the version of Avatar that I would want to see as a fan.

watched and Karl and Sharah truly the best the way they only did everything for other while the 2 others did it all for selfish reasons idk if that was one of the point’s especially the 2053 lady that was clear sign of yt people always choosing the bad guy always supporting the oppressors the genocidal maniac it was so on point really and the fact she did all for legs plz, and the fact after she k1lled Defoe she out on the crocodile yt people tears they always do when they regret something minutes after they do it watching her cry after she k1lled deofe even tho Elias literally said yes to murdering almost half million she still was on his side of that’s not yt to a T taking the wrong sides of history then regretting it definitely gave me nasty Oppenheimer vibes the way she acted never listening to the good people so many people was telling him

not to do it then started crying and having quilt only bc his mistresses di*ed and all of sudden he had regrets like from the moment I saw iris I disliked her so mad idk she just gave off nasty vibes and I was so right I love being always right and reading people characters to T!

dont get me started on Alfred I love him bc he was good for his time but the fact he gave up his family and sacrificed himself for a man he just met was so nasty but I get not wanting to frame an innocent man thats ew but he was really willing to give up his family

It’s giving Viktor from umbrella academy I will never understand characters giving up their families for somebody they just met 2 weeks ago idk if it’s a yt queer character or yt people thing it but it’s just so nasty to me like how that’s y’all family so so eww #bodiesnetflix

what a great show tho it was so good every character except iris were so amazing love them! can’t believe she still is alive but hopefully I doubt it but hope taxi driver Iris is better person then 2053 iris was she was so eww made me so sick to my stomach #

miss female Oppenheimer they way both didn’t care until someone showed the truth in their face and still they didn’t give a fcvk untill someone they cared about D worded! I now get why she was picked and why she was yt makes so much sense in reality it’s always yt people doing

that sort of thing joining the evil side, Iike you would never see Charles Sahara joining Elias they can’t be bought we literally saw Whitman saying no to all that safety in the time he was living oh what a beautiful man what beautiful soul heart he has and sharah obvi she’s 2023

she would never as the character she is, they way they picked perfect characters time lines for each other, storyline character development so complex and interesting! then there’s iris doing for the most selfish rzn! her character was so good to hate more

then Elias even because how did she believe in that bs when her own brother couldn’t get the treatment only bc he didn’t wanna join them I thought it was eveyone felling loved no matter what even if they didn’t wanna be forced to part of their bs utopia!

KARL AND SHARAH YOU SO LOVED BY ME! also not Karl flirting and asking Sahara for pint trough time once a ladies man always a ladies man god I love him! Alfred I’ll ignore ur one mistake so you are also loved not as much them but still and nothing for Iris!

I wish Karl Sahara would’ve met the way I have played back when Elias tells him her name and he’s like what Sah what so cute they were the best characters I love them so much wish they met the asking for pint so him even in his last breathes I LOVE HIM a lot actually!!

I did notice how only Karl Sahara weren’t DI even tho they were given the same cases another important point on society oh what a great show! Love it so much

#iris been so on brand for todays world even tho hee character was supposed to be from the future #believing in wrong side even when the facts proof are literally shown you #So where on brand with what’s happening now in the real world wigh all these western people supporting yk and western gov #she really was metaphor for them #bodies #bodies netflix #Netflix bodies #Bodies on Netflix #Karl Wissman #Charles Whiteman #Sahara Hassan #Alfred hilinghead #iris maplewood #iris mapelwood

rewatching daredevil because I need some comfort and the matt-claire kiss is even hotter than I remember

I-i... I don't know how to feel about season 2...

The more I look at it and the more I'm turning into one of those "well this didn't happen in the books" fans.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SHOW?

Don't get me wrong I'm excited they're back, I really am. But I just feels like I'm watching a totally different thing and it's really hard trying to concentrate on the show plotline while knowing what I know from the trilogy books.

#shadow and bone #look i love the crows to death but the first mistake the showrunners made was to put the soc and the s&b plotlines together #wth #like- WE'RE AT THE SPINNING WHEEL ALREADY?????? #three episodes in? #netflix shadow and bone #shadow and bone spoilers #spoilers in tags #guys i don't like where this is going #i don't hate it so far but like?? do i like it????? #they're rushing everything #ans by doing so all three of the mani plotlines feel so... weird. #like. the crows' plot feels unnecessary. don't get me wrong i like them and I'm actually enjoying their story but lik #idk by adding the crows there's no more time for the books plotline and like- WHAT'S UP WITH THE S&B STORY? #literally Alina's story is so wrong on so many levels I'm furious #please somebody come amd rant with me

Rewatched Lockwood & Co. so I can be mad at Netflix for cancelling it

#lockwood and co #LITERALLY WHY?? #was it not trending?? everyone here was raving about it?? #same with JATP tbh like all I ever saw were people freaking out about that show #and they both just got?? cancelled??? #after one season??? #DESPITE SETTING UP THINGS THAT MUCHLY NEEDED FOLLOWUP?? #on the subject of being scared of what netflix might do with narnia #cancelling it abruptly partway through is one of my biggest fears #especially since it is so LIKELY #tbh I think the most likely thing netflix would do wrong with the books #is just make them a series of the previous VOTDT movie #(aka only having a vague understanding of the book) #(and kind of making a mess of it but not doing anything especially harmful) #that's the MOST LIKELY worst case scenario #but CANCELLING IT without giving us the whole series??? #THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE AND WILL LIKELY DO IT AGAIN #netflix needs to care more about the stories it produces #(yeah I know that's too much to ask for from a Corporation)

Okay I know they’re all pretty awful people but I do like phoebe, I also think she’s probably the killer but what can I say sometimes the villain is endearing

#plus objectively Gemma completely deserved to be murdered #you #you netflix #on episode 5 of season four I think #okay broad strokes why she could be the killer: the airhead little blonde girl personality could be an act to make people underestimate her #Joe wrote her off pretty quickly and the focus on who could be the killer has mostly been on Kate and Roald the last few episodes they want #us to think it could be one of them (I mean it could be literally why would Kate pick up that knife that was stupid she’s smarter than that) #and she has been pretty convenient about some things including prying joe with absinthe when they were in the club sitting on the trunk that #held Gemma’s body just standing there over the carpet after the thing with her boyfriend like she came up there specifically and what stayed #I’m the room after she could tell kate wasn’t there and just was poking around the carpet? #plus she was the one that invited Joe back out to sundry which could be to get more information on why he hid Malcom’s body #anyways I could be dead wrong and she could be the next victim I just like my little theory #like a gone girl cool girl monologue moment letting people overlook her so they don’t see that she’s a threat

me yelling about how it isn't fair that the Percy Jackson fandom is thriving and we're getting nothing is the equivalent of booing a singer at a loud concert from the back row

I am like 20 minutes into Purple Hearts and I am trying to understand so hard how what anything that Luke or his friend say is like, normal and not like, idk, bigotry?

#Netflix outright said be as leftist conservative as possible and destroy those pronoun blue haired people huh #like……… ion like where this is going #i bet y’all 50 bucks by the end of it we will have Cassie be given a 180 like yeah we’ll not ALL leftists are bad #and they are not! you don’t have to feel invalidated but your pollito al opinion #political** #but luke is definetely not a good guy!! like?? their friends are racists right in front of him and they all just laugh and point ?? how #does that make you a good person?? yeah tragic backstory or whatever idk what’s coming but it’s still biggotery and they seem to be trying #yo excuse ir at the end and it just doesn’t really sit right with me #and I don’t like getting political on here nor come here to tell you what to believe or not to believe in #but misogyny/racism/xenophobia/homophobia or anything of the sorts is uh not excusable in my book! #just be a good person dude lol it’s literally not that hard #luke calls woman females he is that sort of dude bro #like the acting is good and Sofia Carson is an amazing singer I just don’t understand what they are trying to do #the message seems to be like yeah. you might differ in political views. but if you are hot you can still makeout maybe! #like you can disagree on things but if you are this much politically strayed from each other I am sorry but I don’t think it’ll work out #so then in the future when you are taking big life choices that oppose political views what then?? idk it’s just very tied to someone’s #moral and value compass that it’s just…. idk sksksk netflix what is going on #I’ll be back at the end maybe I guess I might be wrong who knows I love romance stories but this is starting on the wrong foot for me #anti Purple Hearts #i guess lol #Purple Hearts #netflix

the fucking borderline incoherent plot + worldbuilding doc ive made for my multiverse longfic is officially at (exactly) 13,000 words. the plot doc. like, the planning document where i write down all my ideas. not an actual chapter. just brainrot.

#im literally insane #i feel insane #there is something deeply wrong with me #but also. i write Damn Fuckin Good Stories #netflix wants what i have (good stories) #i wonder if one day i can just change all the names and edit the details and actually publish this as a real book series lolololol #but i have no idea how id release that due to the complex nature of how this multiverse works. its... complicated hskjfdgksfd #ill cross that bridge when i get there #mischiefing time

a lot of people on twitter are freaking out about there being no news of ofmd's renewal despite it being in some hbo showcase and all I can think about is how none of these people have had to wait for a jjba part confirmation or a hxh or berserk chapter.

#we literally sat in limbo for a yr & a half to hear news about part 5 & 6. like they ended and just nothing was said. for a yr & half. #both times. the material was already there too. its been there. we literally didnt know what was going on. #then dont get me fucking started on them giving us 12 episodes (which clearly wasnt near the end of it at all) through netflix and then #radio silence for a few months #nothing will teach you patience like being a jjba; hxh; and berserk fan i swear to god to you #also dont get me started on hxh and berserk. which feels wrong to say cause of Muira's passing. I dont mind having to wait because they #really have good reason and id honestly be okay with never getting another chapter because what they go through is fucked. but that doesnt #mean the waiting doesnt teach you patience. #our flag means death #ofmd #i hope some of you get this
