"Kudos to Lando, because Lando is the inspiration of this slam"

#about as normal about this as pato is #will he ever stop with the heart eyes at lando? i think not #partly i think because he genuinely likes him #and partly because he sees so much of what he could have had/can have in lando #keeps getting within touching distance of that f1 seat #and if he mimics just enough of lando then maybe he can get a taste of it #compare and contrast #pato o'ward #lando norris #2024

You know that anime about a white-haired immortal with immense magical power and how the short-lived (mostly human) people they meet on their globe-trotting journey change them? I am, of course, talking about both Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and To Your Eternity. But despite their superficial similarities, Frieren and Fushi are very different.

Fushi starts his journey as basically a shapeshifting infant, moving forward on instinct more than anything else; one of the first people he meets is a four-year-old, and she has to teach him a lot. Luckily, Fushi's good at learning; he changes a lot in his first few years of life, and changes at that speed pretty much any time he isn't being a nokker-slaying hermit.

Frieren, on the other hand, is mature and stagnant. She's been around (and not hermit-ing) for well over a millennium, and the Frieren we see in flashbacks to a thousand years ago is almost identical to the one we see at the start of the series. Frieren barely changes at all, compared to someone like Fushi; the changes she undergoes are remarkable only because she's not used to any change.

I bet a story where the two of them met and decided to travel together for a while would be neat. They're similar in some ways, but they're fundamentally very different in ways I think would make their interactions quite entertaining.

#anime #to your eternity #fushi #frieren: beyond journey's end #frieren #characterization #compare and contrast #crossover #fanfic ideas #I'm in danger of actually trying to write this #I've gone so far as to consider whether the Beholder should be older or younger than Frieren

Cinderella's ball gown transformation (1950) or Elsa's ice gown transformation (2013)?

Cinderella's! You're not surprised.

Cinderella's came first. She's the OG of princess dress transformations. Elsa's is derivative of it. Cinderella's gets brownie points.

Cinderella's dress transformation was a reward from a higher power for her faith and strength of character. Elsa's dress transformation, on the other hand, was just her treating herself to a glow-up for...running away from her responsibikities and fears.

Both dresses are supposed to reflect the true-self of the girl wearing it. The difference is, Elsa's came at a time when she was literally singing about the mindset she needed to grow out of. It would be like Simba manifesting a crown in the middle of singing "Hakuna Matata." When he's run from his responsibility, abandoned the people who relied on him, rejected who he really is, and is running from his past mistakes and present flaws. Sureeee. Let's celebrate, have a fancy new outfit, Simba, so we can commemorate your moment of triumph, going from crown prince to lazy bug-eating mother-abandoning loafer in the woods. Elsa's doing the same thing. She's singing about "letting it go," but it's not "let go of my inhibitions," because her "inhibitions" were only in place to make her feel like she had control over whether or not she hurt others. And she doesn't gain that until after embracing self-sacrificial love. So what's she really "letting go" of? Responsibility. The environment where she had to think about others instead of herself. Risk. 🙄 And that's her big dress-transformation moment.

Meanwhile Cinderella's dress comes at a moment where she's done everything she can do, she's had faith, and a good attitude, and so much good will toward the mean, low creatures who are her stepfamily that the last thing she did was run down and ask them, sweetly, if they like her dress before they rip it to pieces. She's been kicked to her lowest moment, and all along, she's never lost faith.

And right when she's about to, her Fairy Godmother appears and shows her that she was right to be good, kind, faithful, no matter what her circumstances were. Her dress is a reminder of a real triumph: you're not a friendless ragged orphan servant. You're really a queen, on the inside, because you're high above the villains in virtue. You're compassionate, you're gracious, you're selfless, you're kind. You take care of others, like a benevolent Queen: That's who you are, no matter what your circumstances tell you, and here's a dress to illustrate it.

Elsa's dress is all about her circumstances and how happy she is that she's run from them. Cinderella's dress is all about who she is on the inside, regardless of her circumstances.

...and it's prettier and more iconic and the animation is both those things, too.

A Hopefully Quick Compare/Contrast of Lex and Bruce; Clark and Lex; Bruce and Joker (Et. al.)

"Batman is basically Luthor but good."

"Luthor is basically Batman but bad."

No and no.

I think it's high time that fandoms (DC's in this case) finally start to put an end to overly simplistic—if not downright false—takes and conclusions like this.

Like, I don't mean to sound wrongfully condescending (because I know Lex and Bruce definitely have at least a few traits in common, on average), but I don't understand how anyone who has actually tried to dig at the cores of these two characters (and their respective hero/villain) could make statements like these and then just call it a day.

Again, nooo.

Lex Luthor, if he "became good" (ignoring the emotional journey he's currently going through right now in recent Superman comics) would not be Batman. He'd be Superman!

You want to know why? It's because Lex, arguably since at least his inception in the Superman comics and Action Comics, has not been written to be the "dark mirror"/shadow of Batman, but of Superman.

Almost everything that makes Clark so amazingly gifted and inspiring, Lex has also—but in a twisted or far less appealing way.

Likewise, a "bad/evil Superman" (if written well and not like just another murder-happy blatant tyrant) would be Luthor!

Imagine a Superman that, after self-actualizing, chooses to selfishly mold the world to his image without care for the opinions of the people, but with the same hopeful, altruistic mindset and aspirational worldview that we're used to. In that sense, he'd be less wantonly cruel and preoccupied with spreading fear everywhere he went and more-so misguidedly paternalistic and smothering. So similar to his usual self, but far worse. More like....(a tough-on-crime) Lex Luthor.

I'd argue that Superman: Red Son illustrates an amazing example of this within its pages. I won't say that it's "perfect" (I don't do that with anything, tbh.) but seeing USSR-Superman and America-Lex Luthor be true equals on the mental plane and somewhat physical and even moral, too (but with differing worldviews), is somehow very refreshing and satisfying to see. Highly recommend reading it, even if only out of curiosity.

Now as for Batman? Based on my understanding of him, his shadow self is most likely the obvious choice of the Joker, or may even be Bane or Two-Face. Bruce has a lot of issues, but he (mostly, usually) has not reached the depths of depravity that these three have, especially the Joker. He could, though. That being said, could and would they be Batman if things had been different for any of them? I believe so. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they come out with just such a Batman-Joker graphic novel a year or two ago?

However, I don't think any of these Batman villains could ever have been Superman. But Kal-El's pretty hard to match anyway. Just ask Lex.

🐇🕳️🚨‼️

The irony of this Sunday morning rabbit hole is the fact that it grew from pure serendipity, as I pondered who Michael Cera was married to, after noticing a wedding ring on his finger in an Instagram reel about his role as “Allan” in Barbie (2023), and found this article:

Michael Cera and his lovely wife Nadine have proven that it IS absolutely 97.6% possible to keep your private life private, if you truly did want to keep your private life private (and didn’t tell Amy Schumer.)

It was at the bottom of this article that I found this fascinating juxtaposition of headlines.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

Just as there’s a thin line between love and hate, there might be an equally thin line between girlfriend and stalker.

COMPARE & CONTRAST:

Loud & Proud

VS.

Whatever this is casual and “pRiVAtE”

The “insider” source’s solitary, continuously-retreaded statement still gets traction months after making its first appearance in the trash tabloid press, despite many opportunities for an update in the numerous new articles magically appearing every few weeks that no one asked for because no one really believes this specific fairy tale.

BONUS, ICYMI:

obsessed with the fact that in the first half of episode 8, you see Shirley making annoyed faces anytime Carson speaks or whenever anyone mentions Jo, but you also see her like seeming to intentionally hang around Greta. like there are multple scenes where she seems to stay around Greta when she wouldn't have to

like did this girl read a letter written by Greta that was like "I love kissing Carson and touching Carson and having sex with Carson but not dancing with Carson because Carson is a bad dancer but I'm leaving because I don't want anyone to find out about me and Carson" and the only thing Shirley got from it is "I can't believe Carson is queer"

#and like there's literally no way she wouldn't know it was Greta that wrote it #like even if Greta hadn't signed it #it was left on Greta's bed after she ran away #my kingdom for a glimpse inside of Shirley's mind #I know its a labyrinth of nonsense and mental illness I wanna scope out that shit #compare and contrast #shirley cohen #a league of their own #greta gill #carson shaw

One advantage Reddit has over Tumblr is that, by segregating fandoms into separate holding tanks, everyone always has the proper context for any given post. Nobody's going to mistake a supervillain for a pop singer or a secret policeman for lesbian romance, for instance.

One advantage Tumblr has over Reddit is that those sorts of things can happen.

13.23 Let the Good Times Roll

13.23 - Let the Good Times Roll - Production Draft

Back in 2013 Russ Hamilton shared the order of revisions of a script:

White (Production Draft)

Blue

Pink

Yellow

Green

Goldenrod

Salmon

Cherry

13.23 - Let the Good Times Roll - Yellow Draft

*You can see all of the other scripts we have here. We are working on sharing scripts with TV Writing, you can read what we've shared (so far) here. To buy scripts we need donations, and the more people are involved the smaller the hit everyone takes. To help with this, we have set up a discord server. It is a fandom neutral zone so as many people as possible feel comfortable joining. If you have a script you'd be willing to share, please message us here or on our twitter.

While the image quality for the pic on the left is incredibly fuzzy and low-res due being originally published on a web-page dating back to 2008, this official preview page that IGN released for Wolverine (2003) #65, aka the finale of the Get Mystique arc, is noticeably different in contrast to the actually released comic:

Sometimes its really fascinating seeing how media can undergo significant changes shortly before an official release date…

From Wolverine (2003) #65 by Jason Aaron & Ron Garney.
