i hate cinemasins so much you would not believe

#it's an easy formula. i get it. #ha ha plot hole! it must be bad because plot hole! #[plot hole is intentional and explained 10 minutes later] #[plot hole contributes to themes of film] #[plot hole is not actually plot hole if you employ even the most rudimentary of reading between the lines] #[plot hole is thing unimportant to the scene as a whole] #it lets you feel smart without actually having to put the legwork in #'smart' isn't even the right word. 'mildly observant'. #but because of this fucking loser and his stupid little ding sound effect #films have to be spelled out for people or they'll go 'OOOOGH PLOTHOEL????' #'WHY THEY SHOOT THE DOG AT START OF DAS DING? PLOTHOLE DING' #'WHY NO CONCRETE ANSWER FOR QUESTION PROPOSED BY TEXT? DINGGGG' #[THINK!!!!! THINK DAMN YOU!!!!!!! THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!] #if your critique could be easily slotted into a cinemasins video go back and think about WHY #is it a question answered by the text??? #and im more frustrated it took THIS LONG to repair my brain scorching! #even with kokichi's critique video im not happy with it because i did go back and look at him closer #i still don't fucking like him or think he was very well executed but i understand exactly why he was executed the way he was #and so many fanfics who took my critique on board and are like 'i can fix this!' just cinemasins the shit out of him #he needs Standard Character Arc and he must be A Hero #NO!! #you missed even the point i was making back then!!! #it was that his redemption was completely arbitrary! and though it didn't do it well it was intended to poke fun at EXACTLY THAT! #the The Villain Needs Redemption because that shit was all the fucking rage and people were doing it shit! #and it all goes back to this jackass and his stupid monotone voice and his attempts to enable a generation of media illiteracy! #and it WORKED! our ability to analyse narrative got fucking sacrificed on the altar for His Paycheck #and he's a shitbag who makes fun of women with breast cancer #long post

Marinette Dupain-Cheng deserves like an EPISODE LENGTH apology from the whole class for not believing her about Lila

Honestly especially Alya for constantly GASLIGHTING her about Marinette’s dislike and disbelief of Lila purely stemming from jealousy when the WRITING WAS ON THE WALL

#full disclosure #I did not finish season 5 so I am unsure about this #but I don’t believe ANYONE even apoligizes to her for a second #this whole Lila plot literally makes my blood boil #because it makes no sense whatsoever #and I know it’s a kids show but that doesn’t mean I can’t be mad about giant plot holes and poor choices for characters #cause Alya is supposed to be her best friend #the person she trusts with her secret identity before anyone else #and Alya is a either a TERRIBLE and/or a STUPID friend to Marinette when it comes to Lila #like you believe that Marinette didn’t steal or cheat or push Lila down the steps #but you don’t believe Lila is lying??? #and you know marinette is LITERALLY Ladybug but you don’t question Lila saying Ladybug is her best friend??? #make it make sense #alya cesaire #marinette dupain cheng #miraculous ladybug #miraculous class salt #THE SCENE IN WHICH ALYA AND NINO DENY BOTH MARINETTE AND ADRIEN ARE TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE ADRIEN IS “too in love makes me so mad #lila rossi #mlb #miraculous season 5 #ml revelation #ml class salt #ml salt #Alya should have an episode length apology to marinette like by HERSELF #the LYING DISEASE plot hole also grinds my gears #makes zero sense

Cinemasins roasting poorly-written bondage scenes is one of my favourite things XD

#they’ve done it a few times #the dune one is really funny because it’s not technically a plot hole but it makes their captors look really stupid #so even they were questioning why Paul wasn’t gagged #meme #whump meme #GID #cinemasins #treasure planet

My favorite plot-hole-that-isn’t of GO2 is that if a single angel or demon had thought to check Twitter or Reddit they would have found Gabriel immediately. At no point does Aziraphale miracle away the dozens of cell phone pics being taken of the buck naked erstwhile archangel at his doorstep.

#it’s only not a plot hole because they really are that stupid about human shit #if only they hadn’t killed the Eric that knew about selfies #before you try to poke holes in this a) let me have fun and b) #the hiding miracle doesn’t seem to apply to footage from the past since Saraqael and Muriel can watch the trial footage no problem #but idk if that’s because it’s in heaven #good omens

Reading some of the critiques of pjotv and now I know why y’all are on tumblr and not in the writer’s room 💀💀

#ive said this before but i have to say it again because some of you guys … #calling the BLACK SAILS writers bad 😭😭 do you hear yourselves #all opinions are valid but some are stupid!!! #(i kid but also i think y’all have just aged out of pjo and are expecting something that even the og series was not delivering) #like the source material is middle grade! which is 8-12 year olds #literally the oldest of the target audience is a seventh grader lol #like i was literally six when we got assigned tlt in school #it’s a kids book and a kids show and y’all really got to start treating it like that #otherwise you’re only going to be severely disappointed #(and wrongly so because you’re expectations are skewed from years of fandom) #anyway i think the show is doing a great job of filling in plot holes and fleshing out characters and unraveling plot threads #it’s disappointing that y’all can’t see that because you want a scene by scene copy paste of the books #like some of y’all need a lesson in thematic cohesion and building a multi-season show with a specific overarching theme and message lol #because that’s something the og book series was missing #rick struggled to tie all of his ideas and messages into a cohesive goal so it felt messy at times #i actually have so many thoughts about how the show is doing a lot better than the books #the books would undermine their own goals sometimes because of the focus on action #while the show is reallying building up the characters and exploring the dynamics before the action kicks off #because why would you be invested in any type of action sequence if you don’t care about the characters? #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #sally jackson #gabe ugliano #poseidon #percy jackson and the olympians #pjotv

Every time I see a "Dean already knows how his parents met because he went back in time!" post is driving me up the wall, because NO. The first time Dean went back, John and Mary had been together long enough that she was expecting a marriage proposal, and the second time Dean went back, Mary was pregnant.  Dean did not EVER witness how their relationship began.

I need everyone saying this to rewatch those episodes and then hush.

#ltleramblings #look i'm not sold on this idea either #i don't like john and i don't care about mary #i have zero curiosity about their prequel lives #the idea is bland #but it isn't stupid #i'll be giving it a chance because Robbie is a good writer #and he's probably thinking about all those plot holes that we have doubts about #but if you don't want to watch it i get that #just stop treating it like a joke #unless you can come up with a better punchline

gah the youtube caligari musical was so weird and was such a mixed bag. and yet I keep getting the songs stuck in my head all the time

#to be fair a lot of them slapped #and we also got francis beating cesare to death with a club #but some of the plot changes and tone issues were. so so strange #I'm so conflicted on it #like the music and performances are genuinely so high quality #and I did like a lot of the characterization choices #but when it was good. it was really good. and when it was bad. it was really bad #I can't stop thinking about it #like there's some elements that were done so well and others that missed the mark by a Lot #still not over the stupid potion thing and how badly that fucked the plot over #but the character development was so good most of the time #did they really just create an enormous plot hole just so shoving jane and cesare together wouldn't be weird. was that it #but why do I keep coming back and listening to like half the songs #because the music was On Point #and also the super weird animatics they made by photomanipulating stills from the film #those were. really something #how can something be so impressive but so stupid at the same time #forever horrified and fascinated by this thing #the cabinet of dr. caligari

As soon as you find out a kdrama is a webtoon adaptation, you should not be expecting a good drama with a solid plot and well developed characters lol

#like those are the last things a webtoon will have #like take wedding impossible for example. I couldn’t even get past episode one because of how stupid it seemed (and not in a good way) #there WILL be plot holes and very very annoying characters #doesn’t help that nowadays all you ever see are kdrama adaptations of very silly webtoons

I finished the special story in Connections and it got me to bawl my eyes out so bad. That story was so much more meaningful and emotional and impactful than the entirety of Naruto itself. What the fuck do you mean it was written by Kishimoto????? He did NOT write something for a side story in one of the ultimate ninja storm games and make it better than anything he's ever done before. There's just no fucking way.

#i fucking hate when filler and non canon side stuff is like. better than canon lmao #and not cuz like. filler doesnt deserve it ooo fuck filler whatever NO!!!!! BECAUSE IF ITS GOOD PEOPLE STILL DONT WATCH AND THEN CALL YOU #A LOSER EVEN BOTHERING WITH FILLER!!!!! FUCK OFF!!!! FUCK NARUTO AND FUCK SASUKE AND YOU KNOW WHAT. EVEN FUCK OBITO #NO THIS IS ABOUT BORUTO AND NANASHI AND HOW THAT WAS THE BEST NARUTO AND YES EVEN BORUTO CONTENT EVER CREATED #AND NO ONES GOING TO CARE BECAUSE WAAAA FILLER IS STUPID AND IT SUCKS WAAAAA SUCK MY COCK #the best most emotional arc in bleach is fucking filler. the connections side story is barely even filler when its for a fucking VIDEO GAME #ITS NOT FUCKING FAIRRRRRRRR!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #that was the best naruto content ever. better than even blood prison by a loooooong shot #it just fucked me up man. it really really fucked me up and REALLY got to me #i started getting pissed off how far down the rabbit hole it is of content people actovely DONT want #its an original side story in a game people play for the pvp. its boruto related. ITS FILLER as in no relation to the #plot written by ikemoto #its boruto and its filler and what could people possibly hate more? boruto filler. #but nanashi was an amazing character and bort proved once again that hes the bestest boy in the whole wide world #and not to mentiom merz was really really hot when he took the bandages off his face. im SORRY BUT ITS TRUEEEEE LOOK AT HIM!!!!! FUCK DUDE #and message was so so beautiful and so was the animation and the effects. and just. GOD. they could have made that a movie #MAAAAN i wish it was!!!! that woulda made an INCREDIBLE movie!!!!! #im not gonna get over this. i will always be obsessed with this. holy shit #also im sorry mitsuki but i ship BoruNana/BoruHika now. #at least with nanashi i dont have to worry about her whole character getting thrown to the wayside since her story's already over #now this is reminding me of the anime throwing ryogi away even tho his relationship with shikadai made me feral #just cuz that wasnt an arc in the manga!!! WHICH WAS STILL TOTALLY IN AN ERA OF THEM HAVING ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER #thats what fuckin shoulda happened. the anime and manga should have stayed wildly different stories #i hate how all the original plots that the anime started with got shafted to follow the manga's story #ryogi didnt matter. KAGURA DIDNT FUCKING MATTER CUZ THEY KILLED HIM OFF LATER CUZ I GUESS I NON-MANGA CHARACTER DOESNT MATTER #FUCK OFF!!!!!!! #i hate it here. i fucking hate naruto. leave me alone i need to wallow. im going to wallow brb. i need a wallow sesh #personal

After having a night to think of it, and reading some reviews, my opinion of Doctor Strange 2 mellowed somewhat. I still think it’s very enjoyable, especially its visuals and (some) of the acting (Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen do a great job, some of the cameos are also good, but Rachel McAdams is phoning it in hard, or she’s just not that good)

But its script is a mess and a half. It’s a swiss cheese of plot holes, and the pacing is out of wack, being way too fast to begin with, and padded out after that with lots of random bullshit.

I’d still recommend it for the visual and emotional experience alone (much like the first movie) but the writing is far from satisfactory (I think the writer of Loki being behind this movie is probably why, since that show is a mess and a half too).

#wanda's character writing I think is very well done except for one big issue #which they tried waving away with a stupid throwaway line #strange's character development is very 'stating instead of expressing' where either he or more often other characters tell him what his arc #america chavez's arc is all but non-existent #and what is there is a pretty bullshit 'you were capable all along trust in yourself' #which I think goes against the mentality of the mcu starting with iron man #they also seem to be walking it back in the very next scene which I prefer but is weird #a lot of the changes are walked back in the very next scene #like a major development for strange in the final scene of the movie proper #being dismissed in the post-credits scene with him being basically unaffected #also I feel bad for anybody trying to watch this movie right after doctor strange 1 #because without infinity war and wandavision it makes no fucking sense #speaking of wandavision I feel like this movie had to make up for stephen's last minute omission from that show #I feel like strange was supposed to have imprisoned wanda in the end of that show #and freed her because he needed her help in this one #but because that didn't happen we instead have wanda kinda hanging out and strange having done nothing about her #and even dismissing what she had done and saying it's okay #which is very out of character for him #and her for that matter #also also unrelated but doctor strange's cameo in ragnarok was pointless and a plot hole #he was basically padding between thor and loki looking for their dad and finding him #and then when hela was getting ready to invade the 9 realms (of which earth which stephen protects is one) #he did nothing #even though he said he was watching the asgardians closely #i'm not saying he needed to be a major character in that movie (though it would've been rad) but they shouldn't have included the cameo if t #if they weren't going to do anything with him after that point #also also also the setup of mordo from the first movie is sort of fake-paid-off in this one #like it's implied to have happened off-screen #and the version of mordo we see in the movie is an alternate universe one #like this is such bullocks

I'm about to indulge a friend of mine and give a second chance to friendship to a guy who answered my "Yeah I didn't like these choices in the movie, I feel like a human being wouldn't behave like that in this scenario" with "maybe it's because I study cinema, but I don't usually dwell on these minor things, I can just enjoy the movie because ultimately I know these are choices made by the writers to tell the story".

So yeah this guy is on thin fucking ice

#like really? you're telling me that the writers did this... to progress the plot? insane new information to me #like if you enjoyed the movie anyway and the plot holes didn't bother you or you didn't see then as plot holes good for you #but don't come telling me some bullshit like you studying cinema has given you a galaxy brain to understand basic things #yeah. of fucking course the writers made these choices because they had an end goal and wanted to get there #I'm saying that I think these are really stupid choices and they could have gotten to the same end goal with better ones #luckily my friend is also going to be there we're going out to vintage markets to do something while we talk #I'm sorry I was probably too mean he's a nice guy and has interesting opinions usually #but this was just the most film bro thing I ever heard #stuff

There’s two different types of bad writing, and one of them is the kind that’s actually infuriating.

There’s bad writing that’s just bad 100% of the way through, or it’s otherwise so low quality that there’s nothing of value to be gained from it. When writing is this bad, you can just ignore it and forget about it because it has no skill, no value, no memorability whatsoever. You don’t develop strong feelings about it because the writing is so bad you can’t even hate it because you don’t care about it enough to complain about it.

And then there’s bad writing that actually has gems of quality in it: There were interesting concepts, or character relationships that seemed interesting, or a setting or other plot device that adds depth to the world. Except it’s executed in such a shoddy way that it makes you scream from how much worse the actual writing is compared to what it could have been in theory. Bad writing that’s bad because of wasted potential is 1000% worse than bad writing that’s just bad because it’s just good enough to make you want to enjoy it.

The latter type of bad writing is pretty much how I feel about Barber’s work in phase 2 and it really annoys me lmao. Because Barber got almost every plot point that I was looking forward to reading about (Earth politics, Pyra Magna, colonies, Optimus fucking Prime being my favorite character of the whole continuity) and managed to turn it into a snail-paced boring slog full of contrivances that don’t make sense and only exist to force a certain plot to happen, with virtually no character relationships that are interesting and sloppy political allegories that aren’t actually told through a good story and are basically just Barber puppeteering the characters to scream “THIS IS A POLITICAL ALLEGORY DO YOU GET IT” as if this is entertaining or #deep when really it’s just boring and annoying.

#squiggposting #negativity #like i guess i can see the reasons other people like it #but not really because i don't understand how they even GOT THROUGH enough of the story to like the themes #when most of the story is just fucking stupid and there's almost no emotion besides unrelenting gloominess #and any 'commentary' it makes comes in the form of such brilliant scenes as #zeta prime quoting fascist propaganda and orion going 'but fascism is bad!' and zeta going 'it's cool when we do it' #like bro lmao my best friend loves his writing and the way she talked about it i was SO READY to love exrid/op #i was right here ready to be a stan and even a contrarian ready to enjoy it more than i liked mtmte #but no i absolutely get why no one talks about exrid/op because it's so fucking underwhelming and awful #and i barely even care about the characters so like why do i even care about whatever grand political commentary barber is trying to force #like lmao jro is a megatron apologist that shoehorned in megatron being not the worst guy ever but at least he made it entertaining #at least i felt pathos for megatron and other horrible people despite their shit actions #with barber's stuff i'm just like. this is a plot hole. this makes no sense. this is stupid. this makes no sense. #this is hamfisted. how many more issues do i have to read before i start caring again #it's just awful lmao #my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined #like IN CONCEPT i love so many worldbuilding and character ideas that are in exrid/op #but i would never recommend anyone to actually read it because like. there's almost no point #exrid/op is nothing but occasional glimmers of potential in a sea of depressing averageness

man with pulp fiction listed as his fave movie complaining about "plot holes" on my review of black christmas 2019... lol

#thank you for proving the point i was making in the review which was that #people dislike this movie bc theyre film bros judging it by the wrong standards and cant have fun. #plot holes??? bro its a fucking slasher movie. #michael meyers is unkillable despite not being supernatural hes just a guy. freddy canonically has like 100 biological dads. #what im saying is this is not a genre where you get pissy about plot holes you dork ass loser!! #avpost #i get that a lot of people dislike it because its undeniably worse than the original and thats fair #but i feel like you should judge it on its own bc 1. the original is such a high bar to clear #and 2. its not really doing the same thing that the original did? like theyre WILDLY different. #but still if youre like. damn this is nowhere near the original whyd they even call it black christmas then i get that complaint. #im more talking about the letterboxd reviewers which all seem to be like #'wah the dialogue was dumb. there were plot holes. the killer was soo stupid. why wasn't this a highbrow art drama' #get out of here omg. most horror movies have iffy dialogue and a killer that sounds dumb when you overanalyze it. #thats not what we're here for.
