a someone who loves the original jungle book, i absolutely love the live action version

i actually think its better but ONLY through the lens of already seeing the original

it felt like a natural progression from a child version of the movie to a more adult and SCARY version

shere khan terrified me as a child. his bright green eyes in that one scene have stuck with me for just shy of 25 years, i didnt think there was any way for a live action shere khan could achieve that same impact, especially now that im an adult and not 5 lol

but!! he did!!!!!

idris elbas performance as shere khan was absolutely phenomenal!! he gave shere khan a more serious version of his original gravitas, he was TERRIFYING to me BECAUSE he perfectly embodied the horrible psychopathy of shere khan while making the character new and his own, it wasnt a cheap imitation it was a respectful and serious homage

and you know what?? SO WAS CHRISTOPHER WALKENS KING LOUIE!!!! ive been scared of monkeys and apes for my entire life, especially chimps and orangutans, i was scared of king louie as a child and that fear was borne of knowing how terrifying real orangutans are juxtaposed with how nonthreatening he was in the animated movie

christopher walken was SCARY as king louie!!! ive never liked i wanna be like you as a disney song, its never interested me tbh but christopher walkens version? i love it. more importantly i REMEMBER it. because it sent chills down my spine! they leaned into how terrifying REAL orangutans and monkeys are and it worked SO WELL!!!

i think the decision to remove most of the songs from the live action worked really well bc it made i wanna be like you even more terrifying and highlighted why its scary - monkeys and apes are so intelligent, they will be like us one day, that song in the live action highlights the mix of human intelligence and animal violence that, to me, orangutans kinda embody

i think the casting of the live action jungle book was absolutely excellent and i think most of the choices they made really worked! it hit me way harder than the original ever did - i wasnt that interested in it beyond being terrified of shere khan and king louie lmao its never been on my list of faves - but the live action has firmly planted itself in my like,, okay not my top 10,, top 20 definitely tho lmaoo

is it perfect? no. however i think its a resounding success as a live action remake bc fundamentally your suspension of disbelief changes from cartoon to love action, and the movie kept that in mind while also capitalizing on how scary wild animals can be and how uncanny valley and unsettling these live action remakes often are

its a great movie!! i absolutely love it for what it is and for what it gave me as someone who saw the movie as a kid and was so scared by the main villain and ig sub villain. its so good, and i think its vastly better than the original

#frog talks #this is my opinion okay #i get why people dont like the live action remakes #this is the only one i really remember tbh lol #if you have differing opinions and want to discuss it then please do!#just please keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and im not trying to shit on anyone elses views here lol

Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest--

alright! so! early robin hood ballads and narratives don't have an origin story for little john, but a later ballad (robin hood and little john) does. they fight on a bridge in it, but I like looking at illustrations, so I've swapped out the bridge for that tree peaking out of the panel in the first panel bc I enjoy louis rhead's illustrations a lot.

this is some kind of introduction scene after they fight and climb out of the river!

Robin Hood & Little John (edited by Stephen Knight & Thomas Ohlgren)

#read something that compared robin hood and little john to gilgamesh and enkidu and oh my god. christ. fuck!!! okay then #robin hood #little john #outlaws in the woods tag #komiks tag #some other text was like 'ah yes robin hood was young and blond' i am choosing to ignore that. he's young and filipino and has dark hair #its my comic and nothing i do will be as objectively terrible as that fucking 2018 movie #or honestly a lot of the movies that decide they want to have an opinion on the crusade #'katabay why did you draw little john like cassius' tbqh i forgot how i was previously drawing john's hair #it'll happen again 😔 but maybe not. i want to draw robin hood more ngl.

"No body protects nature better than you, sweet Amy."

Whoa, he's bisexual! I didn't know that!

But ALSO.#sonamy was something I was OBSESSED with as a kid. I don't love it as much as I used to but I still find it adorable like sonadow.#We got good food from these hedgehogs.#This was in my drafts since when Season 3 came out and I was so nervous to post this because everyone has OPINIONS about sonamy.#<--- Which I don't blame them for. Some sonamy fans are not really... nice. Let's just put it at that.#Plus everyone has different opinions on sonamy and that's okay! I'm just happy that there are fans with opinions that differ from mine-#-but are also fantastic people I look up to! Makes me feel like I'm not alone 😊

Danny and (a recently revived) Jason move into an apartment together, they live right next to each other too.

The thing with this, however, is that the both of them?

They goddamn hate each other.

If murder was not illegal, they would genuinely kill each other. But since it is, they settle for the next best thing, just beating each other up on sight.

At least, until the landlord told them to not fight on their property and if they were to do it out of sight, so they don't scare away any more potential clients.

They've already scared away more than 10.

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #dcxdp #dc x dp crossover #You know that one comment that thought I was genuinely hating even though I put (This is just for dramatic effect) near the top of the post #Yea I'm still thinking about that and maybe the slightest bit salty over it #Doubt they'd ever see this though since it was resolved pretty fine in my opinion :D #but if you do see this #You know who you are #Anyways #Danny and Jason fight like feral cats in my opinion #Even though Jason is a highly trained fighter #Okay maybe Danny fights like the feral cat and Jason fights like a more refined version of that #Still feral tho

a different type of astarion line compilation; this is a collection of some of the prettier/more poetic things he says. and i don’t mean rehearsed lines meant to flatter, i mean genuine pretty phrasing

#frankie posts #bg3 spoilers #astarion #bg3 #astarion acunin #bg3: vid #starry comp #okay maybe the lick of poison line is for flattery #but they’re already in an established and committed relationship to only each other atp #so he was just being silly. in my opinion.

I know some people may feel a little sad about Normal’s epilogue moment but yknow I thought it was nice. He and the others went through such an intense series of events. He clearly was struggling with self image issues and likely more. And he still is.

Growing up didn’t fix that. And that’s okay. That’s something a lot of people grapple with long into their adulthood. Something about it was kind of refreshing to see that shown. Things aren’t perfect. They likely never will be. But for that night, he allows himself let loose with his friends again.

#dndads #dndads spoilers #normal oak swallows garcia #it’s just my opinion on the matter but yknow I enjoyed seeing that as someone who also struggles with mental health issues #things get better but sometimes it’s still hard and that’s okay #idk man ily Normal I hope you at least had a fun time in college for whatever you decided to do

i truly will never understand how cheating on ur partner is so common and yet polyamory is widely seen as gross and wrong. so *checks notes* having sex with someone you're not in a relationship with is bad unless *double checks notes* unless you do it behind their back without their consent?

#text #LIKE OBJECTIVRLY ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS MUCH MORE OKAY THAN THE OTHER . IN MY OPINION #post patch notes: -changed 'normalized' to 'common' -added the word 'widely'
