This site: What the fuck is with all these animated shows getting terrible live-action remakes? We should start remaking live action media as cartoons to balance the scales.

David Tennant with Michael Sheen (Good Omens promo video) and then David Tennant with Catherine Tate (Doctor Who bts video) trying to convince us that they work very very hard :D ❤ (poor David trying to censor his actor companions :D)
David and Michael smol interview for Virgin Media Television, 10.7.2023
Michael: We never bicker.
David: Nooo.
Michael: I mean, that's that's sort of the key to it, I think. Yeah. Is that when we're not directly working together with each other on screen or whatever, it's just very sort of easy.
David: Mmm.
Michael: I mean, we're we're both essentially quite lazy actors, and we… it's too much hard work to be…
David: We can't say that!
Michael: We can't say that no.
David: No, we're very professional.
Michael: Sorry. Yes, we are, we are.
David: We are very appropriate.
Michael: It's too much. We see it, you know, we see other actors on set and everyone's working very hard, and it's just very easy for us.
David: We work very, very hard. Don't listen to him.
-
David: We have to make it sound that this has been difficult.
Catherine: No.
David: Do we have to say it's been hard.
Catherine:It's not hard work or… I don't mean it's not…
David: It's not easy!
Catherine: It's not easy!
David: Don't think this is easy!
Catherine: Don't get me wrong, don't think this is a walk in the park.
David: Very hard! Very… it's a very specialized job!

Just to make the distinction between the first two clear:
Option 1 is for people who couldn't follow the plot of a show/film at all without subtitles. (And it should say 'difficulties' - it cut me off)
Option 2 is for people who would miss bits but still get some of it, or who could follow but would have to work really hard to do so.

honestly, the people bitching about an objectively insane episode of wwdits are SO BORING. it's just a silly little comedy about some idiot vampires that live together and commit atrocities in new york. like what is so difficult to comprehend about that.
of course lazslo would create horrifying animal lab experiments that can talk that guillermo has to take care of.
of course nandor and colin are besties.
of course nadja makes 50 dunkin runs for a crazy lady.
it's just a weird show that is outrageous and funny and sometimes carries an emotional wallop. it's not fucking rocket science.

“the gore and grit and violence and manliness and faggotiness of Black Sails / Hannibal / Interview with the Vampire would make the childish q-slur-tagging Steven Universe pansies who watch Our Flag Means Death scream and cry and shit their pants”
you are all watching Television Show.

It's that time of year when Tumblr celebrates Easter by posting pictures of crucified anime characters, and inevitably somebody in the notes will pop up to helpfully explain that crucifixion imagery has no cultural significance in Japanese media because Japan is only about 1% Christian, which bugs me because it's completely wrong.
It's true that in the majority of cases, crucifixion in Japanese cartoons isn't meant to be conveying any specific theological message, but something Western audiences are likely to miss is that a large portion of those random crucifixion scenes are referencing Ultraman.
Ultraman's creator was a devout Roman Catholic who explicitly intended the titular hero to read as a Christ figure, and consequently, various Ultramen have been crucified on multiple unconnected occasions throughout the franchise's history. Crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons are often directly name-checking particular crucifixion incidents from Ultraman, right down to emulating the compositions and camera angles of specific shots. It's like an especially morbid version of the Akira slide.
The upshot is that, while it's true that the inclusion of gratuitous crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons typically has no (intentional) theological message, stating that they have no cultural significance is incorrect. A large chunk of the Japanese viewing audience are going to see them and immediately go "hey, that's an Ultraman reference".
Anyway, as an image tax, have a shot of four crucified Ultramen miraculously resurrecting a fifth Ultraman by shooting laser beams out of their hearts:
