#how is this the same show as last season

[diazfox]

ship so good one of the actors literally admits that the chemistry is so palpable that he agrees with what the fans see and never had to fake it

#'like i watch the same show' the SASS... #it's giving 'u gotta be blind to not see buddie' and i love it #also how cool is it that he could say the last part about not needing to lean in or away? #that's a flex tbvh like how many actors can say that their chemistry flows that naturally #oliver stark when i get you... #911 #911 on abc #evan buckley #buddie #911 abc #eddie diaz #oliver stark #911 season 7 #bi buck

idc what people are whining abt, i actually really enjoyed the netflix avatar series. the costume and set design was really beautiful, the effects were great, the performances were great. i think people are weirded out about the pacing and i understand that, but at the same time, they're working on netflix's budget and i think they did a great job utilizing the important material in book 1 to tell as well rounded of a story as they possibly could. and like sure, i get that it was jarring to see them start at the VERY beginning instead of starting w katara and sokka finding aang like the original show does for ex, but like. idk! i think they shouldn't feel obligated to hit every plot point beat for beat and i don't think we lost anything by establishing aang's background early on. actually, every single scene with master gyatso made me fucking bawl lol. aang's loss is soooo much more palpable in this show than the original one imo bc it lingers on that pain a lot more. there were a few story choices that kinda made me scratch my head a bit, like the fact that teo wasn't introduced as part of the new Northern Air Temple population and what effects that had on aang, but i'm really not mad about it. anyways i give it two big thumbs up and i hope it gets renewed for another season

#i hate it when uber fans get uppity bc the thing isn't exactly the same as the thing they love and they go into it w a shit attitude #i chose to be optimistic abt it and i really enjoyed myself watching this season today #also tho like seeing how much fun the cast had working on it and hearing them talk abt how rare this experience is #(the experience of working on a primarily asian and indigenous american casted show) #was like. a once in a lifetime.life changing event for them. and most anything that provides jobs for people of color in the art is a #net good imo #anyways give it a shot if you're curious abt it #i actually bawled so much throughout the whole season lol it made me sooo emotional #zukko and iroh will never fail to get me but the aang and master gyatso stuff also supremely fucked me up #also azula is way more sympathetic very early on this time around and i appreciate them being realistic #abt the fact that having an abusive father like ozai would fuck any child up #avatar the last airbender spoilers #atla spoilers #atla #avatar the last airbender

I don’t know why, but it makes me so frustrated thinking about how the people constantly bringing up how the owl house was cut whenever criticism is levied against the show, are some of those same people who will turn around and act like steven universe being cut wasn’t any good reason as to why the last season’s writing may have been poor

#talk away ⌞🍵🍋 ⌝ #something’s wrong ⌞🍄🍃⌝ #to make it clear #I’m not trying to compare the two #the circumstances of both shows being cut are different #it’s just #something about the way people see toh being cut vs su being cut really annoys me #toh critical #kinda #steven universe #su #the owl house #toh #may delete later #Should also note #I do think some of the issues in toh’s last season are indeed because it had been cut #And I feel the same about steven universe #at the same time tho #it’s again just the way how differently view the cut of both shows

Just got this text from my work friend 💀 clearly I’ve talked about Good Omens too many times to be considered normal

#m rambles #david tennant #michael sheen #good omens #to be fair #said friend has seen me cosplay Crowley and has seen me geek out over my GO earrings #also think I showed him my pinned fanart at one point #so he’s aware of how much I love this show #now he just needs to WATCH SEASON 2 #literally he listened to the cast audiobook last month but still hasn’t caught up #also for my simon snow mutuals: this is the same friend who read Wayward Son!

In the year of our lord 2k24 can people stop acting like Kristin Reidel had some kind of homophobic agenda lmfao

#I believe the exact words of the post I’m subtweeting here was heteronormative agenda #but it’s all much the same and I’ve seen her specifically described as being homophobic #you know as showrunner of the highly queer friendly show #that in just the last season alone featured a beautiful episode centered around the show’s lesbian couple #the show that gave Michael a wonderful gay send off in season 5 despite Rockmond’s fuckery #the show that includes lots of queer people on their calls #and—something I think should not be forgotten especially #a show that has had god knows what kind of bullshit going on behind the scenes that could’ve tied her hands in who knows how many ways #you don’t have to like her #you don’t even have to think she’s a good showrunner #but stop fucking acting like any and every buddie crumb we’ve gotten in the last two seasons has been somehow snuck under her nose

i've been thinking about how weird it is that sometimes your favorite pairings go exactly how you expect them to go and sometimes they just don't at all. specifically, in the context of crowley/aziraphale and ted/rebecca. i feel like in both cases, i was really paying attention to the details and nuances and seeming symbolism around the relationship for years. and in season two of good omens, the text itself seemed to absolutely completely vibe with everything we'd noticed as a fandom about season one, and make a logical progression from there that was really in line with what felt true about the pairing in s1. like, you could really tell the show was also extremely aware of all the small moments that the fandom had picked up on. whereas in season three of ted lasso, obviously, the show wound up just not seeming very interested at all in all the stuff i'd thought was an argument being made for why ted and rebecca belonged together. (in earlier seasons, but also even within season three!!! green matchbook what????) i pick out these two examples because, well, they just happened on my tv in front of my face recently, and because i think both had a lot of symbolism and a lot of underlying 'see, THIS is why they're meant to be together!' details. but the payoff could not have been more different!

it's just so weird how sometimes it goes exactly like you expected, like it's proven that you were in fact vibing exactly right with the text, and other times it's just like, "nope, mate, YOU'RE WRONG."

#another example of this where i think it really paid off was grace and frankie #i'm still not over the nick of the show having the exact same fate as the infinite nicks in fanfictions #idk it's just so odd how sometimes it happens and sometimes they're like NOPE! SUCKERRRRRRR! #i still maintain that they had to abandon a lot of subtext in a weird way with ted/rebecca #dollsome's deep thoughts #ted x rebecca #good omens spoilers #good omens #the weirdest thing to me about ted/rebecca still is that they just abandoned biscuits with the boss. #having no last acknowledgment of biscuits with the boss will forever be weird as hell to me #but i guess that also ties into how i thought BWTB was very significant in terms of them being an ideal romantic fit #and they weren't i guess! so!!!!!!! might as well throw it aside!!!!!!! #i'm still very confused about almost everything that happened in season three of television program ted lasso

For some reason I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Catradora since I woke up this morning. Specifically, thinking about Catra and non-linear healing and how the show showed a whole generation of kids that even if you’ve had a really bad response to trauma that you still deserve the chance to heal and be loved and forgiven by those around you if you put the work into it and I just think it’s neat.

#Catradora #I was also thinking about the narrative impact of the show and how as much as I love and rewatch the last season #It doesn’t have the same emotional impact without all the hell she does through and puts other people through during seasons 1-4

throughout the series of drake and josh it pretty consistently implies that josh nichols is a christian (josh peck is jewish) and in the finale of the series helen (played by yvette nicole brown, not jewish[?]) is portrayed as a practicing jew

#i dont have a problem w either of those things necessarily i just find it interesting #if i had to guess. drake and josh was a mainstream that didnt wanna touch on religion generally #but josh was kind of a dork and usually when josh's religious beliefs are implied it is in dorkish ways #such as praying and thanking the lord after he has his first kiss. #but since dan schneider is jewish perhaps he wanted to make helen have a jewish wedding in the finale? #not that there needs to be a reason. but u do notice occasional jewish-related jokes in d&j but none of them are what you could call #offensive. in good faith that is. 'eric is a pacifist' 'i thought he was jewish?' like come on #text post #i have been rewatching drake and josh recently and i have had so many thoughts #im almost done. i just have left that stupid dance episode that they premiered last for the stupid reason #of a special dance-themed premiere night in fall 2007. they premiered the third episode of icarly and a new zoey 101 on the same night #which i think is so stupid. they should've aired really big shrimp last. it messed w my understanding of the series at the time lol #i remember not really knowing that the show was ENDING. like i knew icarly was starting & miranda was doing that #i thought really big shrimp was like just another special like go hollywood. #and then like two days later they premiered the helicopter episode for some reason #and i was like why is drake not famous in this. he just had a number 1 song in a superbowl commercial #and then a month later the dance one. which. if anything is satisfying about that as a final episode it's just that #that unnamed girl from the blues brothers episode who is obsessed w drake shows up again and congratulates them #and the very final line of the series is 'who is she?' because. because really who IS she? #that's a funny enough throwback to wrap things up with i suppose #drake and josh wasn't a highly serialized show so i can see how they could air those after the intended finale and act like it didn't matte #but i have to tell you it did fuck with my brain a bit at the time. lol. i still think of those episodes as having 'happened' after #and on paramount plus those episodes are still placed after really big shrimp. the injustice #but thats kinda messy. what a weird way to end such an influential and popular sitcom #season 4 had a few lowpoints while still also having some VERY solid episodes. #idk. ill have to continue my series review another time im getting way too longwinded here #helen dubois is jewish

i don't think this is a controversial ranking per se but now that i have seen every child's play movie i need to rank them because what else is the reason for watching a movie franchise. anyways my order from lowest to highest would be 3 < cult < seed < curse < 1 < bride < 2 🤭

#வார்த்தைகள் #i was a bit mean to 3 when i first watched it but it's kind of grown on me now just a little lol... #it's got interesting takes on deconstructing and satirizing toxic masculinity even if they're a little half-assed #still my least favorite for sure but i don't outright hate it lmao #it seems that for a lot of people either 1 bride or 2 are first though...so like i said not that controversial of a ranking LOL #i need to watch the show soon! season 3 airs like next week or something. which is so fucking wild in itself #genuinely fascinating how long this franchise has lasted within the same continuous timeline #anyways. i have reasons for each rank position but i will spare you your sanity. chunky 👍🏾

1-800-are-you-posting anyway I’m sorry cobra kai is like crack to me. You just KNOW that daniel and amanda and johnny and carmen and chozen are having the most INSANE sex. Your childhood karate rival has filled his mansion with memorabilia to honor his sensei to keep it real we have a massive orgy on the floor.

#i wish chozen had been gay. i really do. but I think that kumiko does join in if they get together #I’m sorry. the larussos are definitely swingers. like outside of this specific headcanon they are swingers. they swing like tarzan #cobra kai #cobra kai spoilers #if you had told me a month ago I would be invested in this show. what karate kid does to an mf #you have to understand I watched it at the best/worst possible time. watching Daniel screaming punching walls crying talking about how he #he wanted to go home like hours after I did the same thing. and the karate kid 3 arc. man. whatever. #okay toooooo lazy to make another post as evidenced by all these tags WHY IS THIS SHOW ADDICTED TO ADDING NEW CHARACTERS. they haven’t #really done it this season SORRY LIVE EYE OF THE TIGER REACTION but like why is Devon Lee a main character she got added in like 7 episodes #late to the last season. this show. why are there no gay people. there should be gay people. they’re addicted to the heterosexual endgame

I will never forgive the LMK fandom for mischaracterizing Wukong to hell and back. First it was this idea he was stupid and only knew how to hit things hard when in reality Wukong in supposed to be extremely clever and usually only goes and punches things because it's the quickest and straight forward answer to a problem. if there are better ways to do something he does it that way instead. (literally in jttw he is representative of the MIND. HE IS SMART.)

And then it was the demonization (sometimes in favor of making other characters look better). Wukong would make a mistake and he'd be considered the WORST possible person "HOW DARE HE MESS UP"? But when, say, Macaque went and PURPOSEFULLY TRAUMATIZED MK. He was let off the hook because "oh Wukong was mean to him in the past! he's traumatized he didn't really mean it 🥺" (talk about hypocritical double standard)

Anyways I'm putting Wukong up on the highest shelf. You guys can play with him when you learn to behave.

#monkie kid #literally see wukong get slandered so much for no reason in this fandom #this fandom has no watching comprehension i swear it's like we are not even watching the same show #no this isn't about s4 i dont know what the fuck is going on there #this is just be being mad over how fans acted during the last 3 seasons #i swear same game each time it happens #it's all 'flaws and trauma are valid' until a character shows those flaws and trauma in a way you dont like #or in a way that gets in the way of ur woobification of an asshole

knees weak, arms are heavy

#listen it's too late for me to be very articulate about it (and i'm only on s3 now; the rest of the show is kind of hazily blending) but #one of the things i find most interesting about the red john plot...or jane's pursuit of red john maybe #is how ...individualized? it is #obviously the characters have different opinions on it - is his mission right; is it justified; would it help him; would it condemn him #and you as a viewer can side with one opinion more than others (and the opinions change as the show goes on -it's dynamic #which is another interesting but separate train of thought) #but imo/iirc the show itself - the narrative i guess - never makes any outright statement/judgement/comes to any definitive conclusion #on the matter #idk it's just even this - obviously everything's part of the larger narrative but at the same time #his asking does illustrate at least some level of doubt that he didn't seem to have in the last two seasons #is it because of lisbon; and the team; because of kristina; because of the strain it's putting on himself #(probably not the last one; he is demonstrably cavalier when it comes to his own wellbeing) #and he just happens to have the perfect man to express those doubts to right in front of him #(and that man just happens to be noah bennet alskdfja) #had winter said no what would his reaction have been? would his doubts have gotten worse - led to him taking a step towards giving it up? #would he have doubled down? we have no way of knowing because for this man; for this character it was worth it #and that helps shore up jane's belief that it would still be worth it to him too #idk i'm not making sense but it just feels like there's a level of grey area/audience interpretation to this story #rather than a hard line being drawn (by the story itself) on whether the actions taken in it are good or bad and i appreciate that #character-focused vs a morality tale maybe but that's more of an extreme phrasing #anyway ignore me i'm - #tm

Bro genuinely what the fuck are you talking about

#… #yes these 2 consenting adults who had a slow burn from best friends to lovers come across as… emotionally abusive… #they would not have been good as endgame in season 1?? Korra fucking hated asami in season 1??? #did we all watch the same show??? #oh I looked at their account and they’re just a Korra hate account #like if u hate her so much why is she living in ur head rent free? #atla #avatar #avatar the last airbender #Korra #the legend of korra #legend of korra #tlok #chronically onliners when a relationship actually takes time to develop 😧 #yes I wish their relationship got a little more fleshed out and we got to see it develop better #but considering how hard they had to fight to get them holding hands aired I think it can be excused

i know a lot of people are not liking this season, but it’s been fun! I like the twin thing. I’m playing a nice route so mc and her twin really get along. idk maybe i’m only remembering how much i hated last season, and i’m just glad there’s some fun at least.

#this season def has its faults #same thing keeps happening #elliot is levi 2.0 #leave me alone i don’t want you #but it’s been waaay more fun than last seasons ex in the villa #the characters actually feel close again #and my options feel more than just ‘yes no maybe’ #some of them yeah still got that #but it’s not EVERY ANSWER #things are def repeating from previous seasons #but like?? how much can a dating show really change?? #litg double trouble #litg #love island the game

My mom texted me on her way to work this morning asking if I could make dinner tonight. Sure, I say, but I'm not making flavorless food. She asks what I meant, and I say I refuse to cook like she does, where everything is burnt and the most spice any dish gets is a pinch of ground peppercorn. So now I'm officially off dinner duty (thankfully!) because she can't stand anything with flavor. God forbid the turkey have been cooked with any spices. Chives in mashed potatoes? Unheard of. Spice blend in the roast vegetables? Impossible!

#christmas #food #dinner #white people #white people cooking #it's only due to working in kitchens so long that i know how to cook #now thinking about how i would still cook like my mom does if I'd never gotten that first kitchen job. scary thought. #my sister cooks in the same bland way because she's never learned how to combine flavors #like my sister made broccoli last night and it was just steamed. no spice. no nothing. #my family is also terrified of using garlic and onion - especislly if either is fresh #i one time made marinara from scratch and my mother wouldn't eat it because there were visible garlic chunks.... #or no one will eat what i cook if there are 'colors' in the food - which means if i make alfredo with peppers in it or meat with seasoning #my brother is the only person in my immediate family who appreciates good food so i only really cook if it's just me and him at home #he never complains about shit like onion powder in his food #I've tried showing him how to cook so he isn't also doomed to cook like a white person but he's so adhd that it doesn't hold his attention

[blairwld]

Season 2 Nate time travels to season 6, to realize that Vanessa and Jenny no longer live in New York, everybody hates Vanessa and nobody talks about Jenny anymore, Dan acts like a completely different person and he thinks is because of a breakup with Serena, only to realize is actually because of Blair, who is back with Chuck. Serena is back in New York after leaving and doesn't seem to be friends with Blair anymore and Nate wonders how did this happen. Only to slowly realize that he is working for his family, he is dating a high school girl and he is commiting fraud.

#this was a silly time travel idea #but honestly season 5-6 nate is kind of the representation of where the show went wrong #he went back to his family and he saw how everything started falling apart #nate was the first to question their lives. why am i dating blair if i dont really love her? why do i have to do the same that my family? #why is everyone here keeping secrets and doing things that are obviously wrong? #I think s2 nate who is dating vanessa and questioning his decisions after his father went to jail #would look horrified of finding out his friends doing what they are doing #and i think he would be horrified to find himself doing exactly what his father did #nate archibald #also writing this really highlights the nonsense of the last season lmao #i am rambling
