someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

#across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #break from my regularly scheduled trigun posting for spider posting #i'm actually kinda eh on the idea of the canon and police chiefs dying it is not my favorite plot point #but like any sane person i love spiderverse so #actually still think i like the first one more but wroaw much to think about #spiderverse #atsv #.lieii #i only watched the movie once so hopefully this is all accurate #i feel like this is all really obvious my point was like #pavitr being an example of a spiderperson who is still successful without going through all these awful things #and you think despite all this stuff about the multiverse how does he feel about the chief being saved? hes probably rly grateful right? #i mean maybe something terrible will happen to him in the next movie but. yk what im saying #.lieii txt

for me at least, theres always been a really stark divide in the 'child character is the main antagonist' sort of stories.

on one hand. theres stories that rely on the shock factor of a child being evil, because we're supposed to believe that kids arent capable of that sort of thing. i guess its supposed to be frightening but the novelty always wears off really quickly for me.

i think 'a child is the villain' always lands most successfully for me when a kid is given power beyond their years (either by adults around them or otherwise supernatural/societal forces) and then everyone is floored when they arent exactly responsible with that power. and sometimes theyre even selfish! not because that kid is evil, but because theyre a kid.. acting like a kid would in their situation.

it means that any sort of story that follows requires a protagonist to reason with someone who may not even understand the harm theyre doing, or worse - not have the life lived to understand why they should care in the first place. and also, i think watching what happens when u have an destructive force seeking comforts that any child deserves doing whatever they can to have those things is (to me) much more interesting than 'child who is fucked up and evil for no reason but being born that way actually'

#a lot of people have pointed it out but molly from pokemon has stuck with me for years since i first watched that movie #and subsequently i think inspired mars #but im noticing this with thistle as well. falin is my favorite characyrr but thistle almost stole that spot by the end. maybe theure tied #just like.... a kid being adultified by a culture of ppl they were pushed into and handed responsibility beyond their years #when its clear they were only ever seeking a family/warmth... aaugggh. aughhh #thistle i love you. my baby

[banjo-bugs]

I truly genuinely believe they would get along so well

#columbo #benoit blanc #knives out glass onion #just watched it tonight …. so good dude I loved it #unpopular opinion maybe but way better than the firsr #first movie !! idk I like that benoit got to show his personality a little more : ) #columbo vc your partners a chef? well that’s just wonderful..

Also you may recall emu has a big hammer for revstar #thats the bottom of it the gem thing all the weapons have hers is sharp #i remember seeing meta post abt how mahiru has a blunt weapon because she never actually aimed for the lead role #rather she only wanted to be by karen's side. so her weapon wasnt capable of cutting anything in the first place #Fastforward to the movie and well LOLLLLL #though i think its funny in the movie her mace is still mostly used for i timidation againstbhikari.. bc again shes not winning for a lead #revue starlight youre neat. maybe i like revstar. #<- has been insane for 4+ years #Needed their pose to be smth where nenes weapon isnt visible because I DONT KNOW WHAT WEAPON TO GIVE HER. OOMFS HELP. I NEED A NENE WEAPON. #i thought some sort of polearm/spear/halberd etc something with range but that can be ambitious #but i feel like smth with that much footwork needed doesnt suit her..

I think you like pavitr.. Don't know tho, its just a theory after all.

Idk what has you thinking that.

Interesting theory tho 🤔

Curious to know why you think so

He's an ok character I guess

*looks at my icon for a split second* anyways-

Imma go draw (not Pavitr)

#why my brain do this #it just saw him that first time I watched it and went HIM #we coming up on three months now since the movie came out and I'm still fixated on atsv and this boy #Imma draw other stuff ... trust #but you dont choose your hyperfixation ... it chooses you #and momma I'm going to embrace it this time around #because I think ATSV is a decent piece of media to be a bit unhinged about 🤭 #idk maybe cause it made feel something?? #thats what my sister and I joke about when we'd say we'd seen it 7 times in the theater #it gave me a very much needed/wanted spark of inspo #drive and motivation #that Ive been lacking for almost two years now #so yeah #anon #asks

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️ #i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭 #i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!! #also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀 #and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

Watched the first two 90s movies, and I think it's absolutely adorable that April gave Mikey a panda plushie to use as a pillow 🧡🧡

#tmnt #tmnt 1990 #tmnt mikey #my art #the movies are cute and silly!! #an abundance of slapstick and a smattering of melodrama under a totally tubular 90s veneer #bit of a nose turn at the language used towards women but otherwise a good laugh out loud time! #anyways omg the first movie when they showed up at April’s door looking like kicked puppies cuz they just lost their home and their dad 🥺🥺🥺 #and April who just spent time with them and it was fun and really they are just Kids aren’t they #she lets them stay and tries to protect them and AHHHHHHH when I saw the panda plush I squealed just so freaking Adorable #was definitely jarring immediately going into the sequel and realizing her actor changed and Casey wasn’t in it #Keno was precious though!!! pinoy rep let��s freaking GOOOOOOOOOO #also Rahzar and Tokka being Literal Babies???? #hadn’t realized how much inspiration IDW took from this!! #anyways anyways gonna maybe watch the 3rd and 07 later today

Lucy Gray and Coriolanus to celebrate the premiere of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes".

#the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #lucy gray baird #coriolanus snow #I might draw Lucy again in her rainbow dress #just to figure out how i want it to look #honestly i pictured the dress differently than its shown in the movie #not to say the movie dress is bad it's just more subtle than i thought it would be #I'm either picturing more like this poufy southern belle dress with lots of ruffles #or a traditional Mexican dress although that one would have more embroidery #but something between those two would work for her #from what I've seen i like her other outfits more but those look almost too stylish #the costumes in the thg movies worked better for me #but I'll watch the movie first maybe it works better in context #for coriolanus uniform i thought they could be based on ceremonial uniforms from the war #and they were recycled into school uniforms afterwards #tissue why i kept the red colour from the movies #anyway i doubt it will the last time I'll draw Lucy gray #Coriolanus though....nah 😅

Okay, but hear me out, what if Batman V. Superman was Superman annoying The Bat into friendship.

#sleep? what's sleep #crack fic idea #batman v superman #been watching the live action films. #not a huge fan tbh #but I watched lego batman to make up for it #Like first of all Clark is supposed to be Jewish. Fight me on that #the christian vibes in these movies are so uncomfortable #Second of all when I sit down for a superhero movie I expect nice people saving cats #and maybe brooding a little #if it's batman #superman #Batman #lets admit it #it'd totally be suberbat #superbat

The adaptations of/canonical stories of games with multiple playable protagonists should focus on both. I adore Yokai Watch but the anime did Katie so fucking dirty and, by proxy, her and Nate's friendship. In the games, they feel like genuine friends who run in the same circle. But not in the anime, and I'm upset because they totally could've had them BOTH be the protagonists who are given watches and made to interact with the world and each other in a unique way to the games but instead Katie's just this girl Nate has a crush on with a tiring joke about him being average. They don't even feel like friends in the show, it feels like they have mutual friends in Bear and Eddie and that's how they run in the same circles. Boo.

#and then when they're memories are restored in YW2 they could run over and be like “dude!!” “DUDE!!” #and then find out their grandparents were friends or smth #maybe one is the friend who the other let down #yokai watch #granted I'm not caught up on the anime. i stopped watching and then saw the (fucking awesome) movie #yokai watch 2 #jibanyan #is it clear i have AU ideas #whisper yokai watch #nate adams #katie forester #komasan #this goes for pokemon too. every adaptation of the first game strays red further and further from blue and leaf #who should be his best friends #like you could have the sun/moon protags be siblings. or may goes for team aqua while Brendan goes for magma #you get the idea #pokemon #pokemon red and blue #pokemon leaf #⚠️POKEMON STUFF IS DOWN HERE FOR ANYONE CONFUSED #red leaf and blue should be besties. I'm right and you know it #yokai watch au #and i mean really not caught up. i only watched when it came on tv and i haven't watched tv properly in years #outside of what roommates/family/friends are watching
