#it feels like im watching a parody

[railmerosalie]

So I've started watching starwars for the first time and the movies are so shit in the best way

#star wars #hottake #is this a popular opinion? #the movies are shit cry about jt #they are funny tho #it feels like im watching a parody

when i watched season one of house i saw house and wilson interact here and there and i was like oh okay. they could be gay i guess. in a plausibly deniable way. But um. late seasons hilson feels like repeatedly getting hit over the head with a bat and when you finally come to you're lying on the ground watching as the blurry vague silhouettes of house and wilson make out over your lifeless body

#brandy.txt #Like how did we get here #in hindsight i think they were always that way #now it feels like im watching a bad fanfic parody of some sort #2000s queerbait was kind of on top of the game #unfortunately #house md #hilson #gregory house #james wilson

“You are very fragile, Captain Mercer. Are you aware of this?”

“There’s an anti-bullying law named after me, yes I’m aware of it.”

#The Orville #im DYING #im on episode 2 and i love it so much already #i feel like im watching a parody of star trek #but it can also stand on its own quite well #the stories are SO good #episode 3 oops

#school rumble #i could write an essay on it #actually i have #one of the most powerful stories ever written gah it drives me crazy that it comes in such a strange package #the story so powerful the animation team rejected the manga's bs to give the characters the finale they deserved #even though they were forced to retcon it in the final 2 episodes to push for another season #literally they just end the story on episode 19 and hard pivot to movie parody skits/vacation specials for the rest of the episodes #it's magical #until the episode 25 does the ''ohhh nooo they forgot the whole thing and put us right back where we started uh oh whoops'' #''awww looks like we're gonna have to have another season'' #literally #anyway if i ever start feeling emotions im probably going to start school rumble posting and never stop #schoolrum's so stupid you can only appreciate it emotionally #it's not like nichijou where theres still all this artistry and richness you can still engage with if youre cut off heartwise #i didnt even have emotions when i first watched it but it was still powerful enough to make a visceral impact #but at this point im just too far gone i need a bit of heartspace before i can have any chance of actually registering any of it again #<- finally caved and posted a schoolrum rant after like 5 and a half years on here #its the kind of series that lurks forgotten for years at a time #until one day it jumps out and grabs you and refuses to let go until you rewatch it again #best dub in history btw you didnt know english localization and voice acting could be this good #knocks the original japanese out of the park and truly ties everything together #nichijou japanese and school rumble english are the two best animation dubs of all time

but im a cheerleader (1999) is. at its core. somewhat of a horror movie. not elaborating

#ok elaborating in the tags like. imagine youre living ur life and all and then all of a sudden your parents and friends gather to tell you #that youre behaving in a way they dont approve (you have no idea what theyre talking abt) and then they take you against ur will #to a conversion camp where you have to stay for two months and if you fail the program youll be left homeless like. that is terrible. #and real. and i was watching the movie and like when they were happy i was like awh theyre happy woo but then id be like. #damn they are at a conversion camp and like the way that its a parody of whats really happening in places like that makes it even worse #like even more uncanny and creepy and you feel very very unsettled by that whole setting. as they mustve been too. #and ugh #but im a cheerleader

The more I think about High Guardian Spice, the more perplexed I become

#yea im still thinking about this show #i stand by my original stance that its definitely not the worst show ive ever seen #but it is one of the most generic/boring shows ive ever seen. which is subjectively worse #i swear to GOD i went into it wanting to like it. i wanted to like it so bad #but it feels like a parody. i almost feel bad trying to be critical of it because it feels so amateur #it feels like a show made by a close knit group of friends passionate about their ocs rather than a production by a full blown studio #i could write a whole novel on how bizarre of a watch this show is #not because of the content itself but just because like..... how did this happen #im someone who is very very VERY gentle on the media i watch. if it entertains me in any way then im willing to excuse the flaws #but i have seen HGS 2 times now and i just. i dont understandm i dont get it at all #i think i actually will take the plunge and attempt to make some sort of video essay about it #i cannot even begin to describe my thoughts about it here and do them justice #is it a show for kids? is it a show for adults? the show is just as confused about it as i am #sorry that this is all im talking about recently but like. i have never seen another show like this one in my LIFE #not art #the worst part is i dont even think i can call it 'wasted potential' because .... the show never introduces any unique themes or ideas #its just generic. beginning to end

My friend is having me watch Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun and, like, why is iruma a blue deku? And why is knock off Snape quoting Aizawa??

#😂😂😂 #I feel like im watching a parody #and I checked #my hero academia started 2014 and welcome to demon school started in 2017 therefore iruma is deku and not the other way around #i love it tho #I wouldn’t trade it for the world #asmodeus alice #is amazing #and I want to cosplay Clara #she’s like a green hatsume mei but as deku’s love interest #knock off snape #severus snape #my hero academia #bnha deku #mei hatsume #aizawa sensei #boku no hero academia #my hero academia fandom #welcome to demon school iruma kun #mairimashita! iruma kun #iruma kun

[md-guel]

ok but no. pls post your tired takes where i can see them because i love using the block button and you're indulging me 🫶🏽

#for the record i love guel and i will defend him to the bitterest end #but i don't think he is or that he will be or that he should/have been the main character #like there's a reason why the poster child of mobile suit gundam witch from mercury is called suletta mercury and not guel mercury #or that the show isn't called witch from jeturk #which would actually make for a hilarious parody but whatever #i feel like this whole jesusifying of guel jeturk is like the side character trope but make it straight white and male #like you know how a lot of times the side characters become more popular and beloved by the fans over the main characters #even tho they only have 5min to their name #i feel like it's like that but worse and stinkier #anyway yeah i just blocked someone over the stupidest reading on g witch and bro im stunned that a person like them watches the show

i genuinely dont understand why so many people think keanu reeves should voice shadow. why is everyone going around saying that like its actually a good idea and keanu reeves would be the best shadow ever what am i missing here. like no hate to keanu reeves himself i just dont get why everyone thinks he should be shadow.

#im sorry i just dont get it?? hes not shadow to me. ive seen people put clips fo him talking over shadow footage and it just #it just feels like a questionable shadow impression from some sonic parody video not an acutal shadow voice. #his voice also sounds a bit too deep to be shadow. from what ive heard anyway #sonic movie spoilers #sonic 2 spoilers #the only reason i can think of that people keep saying this is because of the keanu reeves joke in the first movie #and that keanu reeves plays 'edgy' characters. which arent good reasons to cast him as shadow #watch him be the 'big movie star' that they were talking about in that one panel. just because i said i dont think he'd be a good fit #id it does turn out to be him though i'd still be willing to give him a chance i guess. as long as he actually cares about the role and all

[capfalcon]

sometimes i feel like a parody of myself

#im drinking a beer (non alcoholic) i cooked a steak i ate it in front of my TV watching f1 races. #like idk #i just feel a bit hedonistic #like a parody of a 40 year old man #tw alcohol mention

[lottieurl]

with every passing week the whole church villanelle plot feels more and more like a fever dream to me. can't wait until i fully banish it from my memory

#like thats such a level of BAD it simply cant be real #felt that when i watched and im still feeling that now #some weird ass parody is what it was #killing eve #ke blogging

[botslayer9000]

imagine if the us army commissioned linked horizon to write a propaganda song for them. wouldn’t that be fucked up

#listening to shinzo wo sasageyo right now #im feeling so genuinely pumped up and patriotic #like fuck yeah kill those fucking titans protect the fucking. idk i dont remember what the city the characters live in is called #i havent read the manga in years #or watched the anime #all of my knowledge comes through the first few episodes and cultural osmosis #i am hesitant to get into it for the very reason mentioned above #i legitimately cannot tell whether aot is a parody/deconstruction/critique of extreme nationalism (a la starship troopers) #or a wholehearted genuine endorsement of extreme nationalism #aot fans come argue in the comments about this #watching yall fight is funny #anyway ill be damned if the aot ops aren't all absolute bangers though #dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands but bangers nevertheless #back on my bullshit #attack on titan #linked horizon

Me trying to figure out how long it took to make Scooby Goes Hollywood for maximum emotional impact and getting nothing from Google

Do we think it took longer than three months

#aaaagghhh #blah #because like OKAY. i would just like to know if goes hollywood is a post scrappy or a pre scrappy invention #because like it was aired pretty much 3 months after the introduction of scrappy in sept 1979. and it was the first time scooby had done #anything remotely like it. its less than an hour long. but the level of care and quality put into it is WELL beyond the level of any scooby #before it (or after it until the mid 90s tbh) #it had original (ish) music. it had around 10 different parodies of popular media. it had the most successful scooby metanarrative pretty #pretty much ever. it feels like a goodbye. and in a way it very much is. #and im just curious how much the introduction of scrappy and sd's dire situation played a role in the shaping of this film. #because like do we think this was a film concieved as a farewell to scooby as a continually producing franchise? do we think its one to #mark the end of the classic era and welcome the scooby to come after? like what is the INTENTION behind it and how was the message altered? #THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW. #because like scooby really was the only hanna barbera to survive continually. shows like yogi and the flintstones the jetsons etc had their #two three seasons and then were keot alive culturally through reruns and saturday morning cartoons with a special released maybe once a #decade. and something something my generation and down really started becoming the death of that. #like with my age group it isnt as bad just bc we did watch cable as (young) kids there were just lots of options so less ppl were watching #stuff like that but ESPECIALLY once you get into streaming so many of those classic shows are not going to be as relevant EXCEPT for scooby #as it had the advantage of also producing new content at the same time as the reruns of old shows and movies. but that really is sometjing #so essential to an understanding of scooby in my opinion. its that folding of all these different versions of these characters from dozens #of sources into one picture. you cant just click a series and watch all of whats new or sdmi and get it. seeing things from all eras random #ly and folding it into your image of scooby as a whole is something SO essential to the experience the way i lived it and its one i feel is #hurting in the streaming era. anyways that got super off topic uh buy old compilation dvds from 2007 and wb or cn or hbo or whoever owns #scooby now online let me compile themed groups of eps and movies from all different eras #there should be a winter scooby themed group with stuff from way all thru be cool (and guess if applicable) amen good night #im so surprised i didnt run out of tags there wtf

[thirstghosting]

since I'm forced to watch cable television im giving svu a chance and god damn the beats in the first act are every single homage to the series ive ever seen

#i guess thats how parody works im just getting old so it feels like #a different era #it feels like My Immortal before parodies of my immortal were a thing #it feels like source material but Sacred in a Sacriligious Way #also i jusf watched for the first time th adam sandler film where 'i will totally kill them for you' came from
