of the many injustices put forth toward the show by fans i think the most overall damaging and telling of a complete lack of critical viewership is the idea that sam riegel builds his characters with nothing more than the bit in mind. like you are only telling on yourself if you think characters like scanlan shorthalt and veth brennato are one-dimensional and depthless
I love how each episode of loki has set aside built-in time for loki and mobius to banter. The show is self-aware enough to know that regardless of ships, they are the primary relationship in this program and that their showcase of chemistry is what audiences want to see. And boy do they know how to dangle that carrot. Is it necessary to stand so close to each other while you bicker, boys? Huh?
Aside: cancel your disney ploos subscription. just pirate the show.
I think it's extremely sexy of Bones to make the ending scenes of the broccoli arc one of the most animation intense sequences in history but they don't convey the sheer overwhelming horror of this panel
Donna's season is definitely what I most remember of the Tenth Doctor so sometimes people talk about how Ten wasn't very physically affectionate and tended to hold himself back from touch and I'm like ????. Ten was holding hands or clinging to or hugging Donna constantly. They could not be physically separated for too long or they'd both get sad. And then I'm like ah right. Ten was his most Babygirl with Donna lmao
If you are curious and you start reading/watching One Piece now you still have time to get caught up to the end of the Arlong Park Arc before the live action drops 👀 95 chapters, 44 episodes. It goes fast and it's fun and full of pirates and magic and love.
If the live action sucks you at least will have tried it and gotten enough Vibes to decide if it's for you. (Trust me that story specifically is the make or break arc of the series)
In all honesty, I’ve always been impressed by Zeno’s performance as Hunter. Even when I wasn’t particularly invested in Hunter as a character at first (this has changed, obviously lol), Zeno’s performance always stuck with me. And knowing he got the role because of Hunter’s little break down in Eclipse Lake in his audition just makes me appreciate his performance, and that whole scene in particular, so much more. Each episode I left it more and more impressed with just how talented this guy is and I began to notice he is in a bunch of other things I watch and he is just as good in those as he is here.
The talent and range Zeno has makes him stand out so much and letting Hunter slowly break down his walls episode by episode allows for that talent to really be heard. That strong, intimidating, and powerful voice he once started with as the Golden Guard has become this more soft, dorky, and energized voice for Hunter. It shows how much has changed, how much he’s grown, how much Hunter has found himself. Zeno’s performance reflects that incredibly and I think it’s worth noting just how quickly Zeno could bring Hunter’s voice back to the Golden Guard tone once the mask was on in Thanks to Them because it once again highlights that growth Hunter has had as a character since episode one and highlights Zeno’s range in his performance.
I don’t think it’s an unpopular opinion to say Zeno is one of the strongest voices in the entire cast. I’d go even further to say he is the strongest voice in the cast, but that’s me. He just continues to impress me every episode and he’s always leaving with a performance that is gut-wrenchingly heart breaking or adorably heart warming. It’s a good performance either way because the passion is there and it keeps you engaged.
I can go on because I truly adore this man and his performance a ton, but I think I’ve made my point.
So here’s the clip again bc it is incredibly well done and Zeno really does deserve the praise that he gets. Also cuz Sarah’s performance was incredible here as well.
