For undisclosed reasons, I'm working my way through The Ogress and the Orphans, but I had to stop to make a couple of memes. Under the cut for mild spoilers

The mayor of Stone-in-the-Glen:

The townspeople: *put up anti-ogre signs all over town* The ogress:

#the ogress and the orphans #I have already given up on this book before #it takes itself too seriously #no wonder my brain keeps meme-ing it up

Hot take but I think as fun as it is to apply angst and go in depth into the characters with the egg beef, I think that how lighthearted and silly it is makes it much more fun and refreshing. Not every part of lore has to be angsty and intense, sometimes it can be silly and goofy. Sometimes little girls just hate each other on sight and need to fist fight every other Tuesday 🤷🏻‍♀️

#I love angst as much as the next guy but silly goofy lore is fun too and I think if foolish and tubbo aren’t deeping it then it’s what it is #I mean i can still do character analysis and talk about how sunny is insecure and what not #and I think that’s true but the beef itself is a bit silly goofy #we don’t need to be upset at the parents for not taking it seriously when not all llore needs to be serious #qsmp #qsmp sunny #qsmp leonarda #sunnysideup the egg #leonarda the egg #qsmp foolish #qsmp tubbo #Tubbo #foolish

Bro I was watching the first three pirates of the carribean movies on a plane the other day and like…? Peak cinema. Why aren’t we making fun little adventure stories anymore? Why is it all disney live actions and reboots? Why aren’t we putting a couple of weirdos in period costumes and letting them go buckwild in front of a camera anymore?

Ok, so. I was on tiktok and saw a comment of someone mentioning danny fenton/jason todd. And it made me go absolutely feral because I love Jason and I love Danny Phantom. So I decided to read some fanfics and I started to get invested in the ship. But none of them had the stuff I was looking for so... I decided to do it myself lol

In rewatching s8 i have some thoughts. Why it didn’t work as an ending, and what i think could have been changed.

WARNING THIS POST IS LONG AS FUCK, so strap in if you’re interested.

- The feel of the writing is distinctly off. Not bad, but it doesn’t feel like you’re watching Voltron anymore. It feels grittier and more like a high stakes adult animation than the other seasons. Which, again, isn’t necessarily bad, but the shift is too quick and it could have been executed better if they spent more time digging into the individual characters and their growth during s6/7.

- The issue of ‘there’s always a bigger enemy’ starts to make the plot feel stale. You get bored of a bigger robot, higher stakes, more to lose. They start killing people and planets for a cheap audience reaction when we weren’t all that invested in the first place. It felt like a split second decision by the writers to destroy Olkarion. Something like that needs to be pencilled in from the beginning. There were too many attacks on Olkarion, and as a consequence we got too used to seeing it’s people in peril. There should’ve been a distinct shift where we, as the audience, realised Voltron wasn’t going to be there to save them this time. Whether that’s a writing, animation or atmospheric issue i’m unsure. Maybe it’s just a me thing.

- The Atlas should never have been able to transform. That for me was the biggest investment turn off. Why do we need Voltron anymore if there’s a bigger, stronger robot on their side? If they were going to replace the castle, they should have made it clear and stuck with the intention. That’s not a support ship anymore, that’s something else entirely. I’d gladly watch a show JUST about the Atlas, with Shiro at the helm, but it’s not Voltron.

- Too many things happen at once, and it’s massively convoluted. 13 episodes is not enough time to: introduce a romance, have me actually care about that romance, kill off a main character, form a new version of voltron, redeem three main antagonists, AND cutely tie up all the glaring plot holes of the show. S8 needed to be two seasons at least. If things were spread out and more passion was pumped into the writing, it could’ve worked.

- Allura’s character was ruined. She became a nagging, reckless, martyred love interest. I love her dearly, i have from S1, but they did her SO dirty. Lance, too. They both deserved better.

- I think, personally, that Sendak should’ve been the final villain. Not Honerva. Her arc was rushed and her CORE motivation made little sense. They used the flimsy excuse of her corruption to redeem her love for Lotor, and his name was literally raked through hell and back for a very mediocre payoff. If that was the plan from the start, it needed to be hinted at more.

- There was too much, as i call it, flip-flopping. The alteans are alive, now they’re evil, now they’re not. We can’t get into Oriande, but now we can! Personally, i need explanations, and strict universal rules. If those rules are to be broken for whatever reason - it has to be a show stopping exception and a main event. Everything is excused and explained away when it doesn’t make any sense.

- Now, i actually really likes the subtle art style and animation adjustments in the season, visually it was spectacular so i have no critiques there. If only the plot could have done its outer shell some justice.

AND GET LANCE OFF THAT DAMN FARM.

i understand why the danny phantom fandom had a hard time deciding on whether or not jack and maddie are bad parents, because there’s a lot of moments in the show where they’re genuinely well-intentioned and even good parents, and other times where they’re blatantly awful and borderline abusive

but i feel like nobody considers that danny phantom is a show that prioritizes exaggerated comedy and status quo before realistic characterization and character development. don’t get me wrong, the fandom is very much aware that danny phantom didn’t have the best writing and could’ve improved in a lot of places. it’s kinda like, we just gotta take that into consideration too when deciding on how good or bad jack and maddie’s parenting is

the fact that they strapped him to a machine that violently spun him around to “spin the crazy out of him” in that one episode should immediately make them abusive parents. but there’s this gray area where you’re not sure if you should include that or not when making a judgment because it was obviously written as just a joke, but it’s still canon at the same time? and it gets even more confusing because there’s other moments in the show where they care about their son and his safety, but they also did…that. and many other things too

this is a bigger issue with danny phantom’s writing in that it isn’t sure what kind of show it wants to be. it’s ok for a superhero show to have comedic moments, but it’s weird to make it convoluted in a way that the viewer isn’t sure what the tone is. just some thoughts i have

#danny phantom #I think we take this show too seriously sometimes because it doesn’t take itself seriously #i love the analyses and the discussions but when we try to look for an actual answer for these sort of things #we just gotta remember that quips and comedy is this show’s top priority before anything else
