#it was just… a pointless show

[foundfamilynonsense]

Y’know. Anakin was a real asshole in Ahsoka’s hallucination.

Like. She mentions something about what she’ll be able to teach her padawan one day, since all she’s being taught is how to be a soldier, and Anakin’s like “teaching’s not all it’s cracked up to be”

And like. Asshole move. And Ahsoka rightfully calls him out on it. And he goes on the whole “uuuh I was joking. Lighten up.” Literally a complete jackass.

But beyond how he answered the question, it’s a valid complaint Ahsoka is bringing up! Anakin’s teaching her how to live or die. But Ahsoka wants to be taught how to be a jedi.

What happens after the war is over (order 66 never happens) and she now has to navigate a galaxy without a war? The Jedi take teaching very seriously there’s no greater honor than teaching a padawan. And she’s not being accurately taught, so she will not be able to pass anything on to the next generation.

But Anakin brushes it aside because he simply does not respect her or her wishes. Like. He never wanted a padawan, despite teaching being foundational to the Jedi. And he only took ahsoka in because he started to like her and became attached to her. He doesn’t care about jedi legacy, not really. So he brushes her comment off with a joke.

But in the rest of the vision… idk it didn’t feel like we were supposed view Anakin as entirely wrong here. He wasn’t in the right, he was definitely channeling Vader and being an ass, but he was basically the reason Ahsoka survived the fall, right? Bc he was making her choose life? When Ahsoka wins against him it’s sort of like she’s both learned his lesson and moved beyond him. And then for the rest of the season he’s only talked about in positive ways.

And like. That one line ahsoka said was really powerful in relation to the entire point of the show. What does she have to pass onto her own padawan (Sabine) if she wasn’t properly trained herself? That is, perhaps, the only valid plot question asked in the entire show. And it doesn’t get an answer. It’s never even brought up again.

#I have now learned Dave filoni wrote the entire series #so I am able to say now with absolute positivity that he’s a shit writer #I had been blaming the issues that the writers went on strike for #but no it’s just filoni being a terrible writer I guess? #I mean. none of the character issues are ever really resolved #we have no reason to believe ahsoka is ready to be a master now #we have no real understanding of WHY Sabine unlocked her force powers and shit (not how it works but whatever) #Sabine never learns her lesson about letting thrawn come back #Ahsoka doesn’t get anything really resolved with Anakin #she just acts like he was never Vader and that he was a great master #when we SEE in her vision he was not #idk it’s like every character plot point was dropped #nothing happened in the first half of the show #the dark side girl had a half rebellion but we got no emotion or background from her #it was just… a pointless show #nothing was accomplished #star wars #anti ahsoka #anti anakin skywalker

Golden Fleece

#my art #cotl #cotl lamb #blood #it was really fun to ponder this one #cause in the game sprite the body on the fleece has the scale-like texture but the hem is sharp like the standard fleece #i felt a 2 tiered piece would work nicely to show both of these contrasting elements #the sprite always makes me think of gold scale mail but i wanted to avoid it looking explicitly like armor #since the fleece gives you stacking atk damage in exchange of taking 2x damage when hit #although tbqh gold armor would be fucking pointless anyways. gold is a very soft metal. which may have been the point but w/e #instead i wanted the shapes to be more reminiscent of wool since like. yknow. the golden fleece #and i wanted it to speak of luxury and power but be rather impractical for movement or protection #i just wanted to do an axe for funsies and by wonderful coincidence remembered the godly axe was gold :] #anyways this pose is brought to you by my stupid ass who spun too hard with my upper body when swinging a bat and felt cool for 1 second #before totally unbalancing myself and falling #the instant after this image lambo eats shit. rest in peace

The way y'all talk down to kids is so fucking funny. You want them to take your advice to stay safe on the internet and then poke fun at them setting the first and most basic boundary (which isn't for predators it's for normal ass adults who respect people's boundaries). Should internet safety stop at a dni? Absolutely not, especially for minors. Do we need to make it seem like stating a boundary on their blog is some stupid (and pointless) thing that does nothing? No lol.

#kia's post #kia's og posts #like who does it benefit to posit dnis as pointless and just for show? who are you helping with that?

hate it when there’s already enough characters & they bring in a new one to take up all the attention from the already interesting characters. like ok. no one asked

#I usually end up warming up but I do seem to often hafe new characters #I hate Harry’s ex wife fr she’s so annoying like omg who caress #how many love interests does Harry need #like he has enough. this is too many. what was the point of her showing up. go away & stop causing drama there’s enough going on #with the alien plot & all the other love & family drama among the characters #this just feels so pointless. what’s the point of her #I’m watching resident alien btw #sorry I’ve been silent so far I’ve just been casually liking it #my toxic trait is I only comment on stuff I don’t like lol #tv tag #resident alien

not to keep talking about this but if greta decides to take the religious aspects out of her narnia reboot or whatever then there's really no point in even making it. christianity runs so deep in everything related to narnia that taking it out would cause the whole story to fall apart, it would just be another hollow remake and if that's the route she's gonna go (which she most likely will) then i'll just stick to the disney movie and reading the books.

#i'm sorry narnia is just....so good to me and i really enjoy it #so when i first heard they were remaking it i just cringed because like?? what is the point?? #THEN i heard greta gerwig was behind it and i was like?? WHAT is the POINT? #which is just...ugh. it's giving ugh #christianity isnt something c. s. lewis put in his series for fun. it's everything to him and it shows in his books #so removing it would just render the entire project pointless. it would be dead on arrival #narnia

Relief.

#mobile suit gundam #mobile suit gundam the witch from mercury #gundam witch #gwitch #sulemio #suletta mercury #miorine rembran #the last few episodes were messy as fuck ngl #but hey at least sulemio are canon married #just wish the series had done a better job of establishing its stakes near the end #like they never really even explained what was so bad about quiet zero #or what it would do in general #the giant space laser was just pointless and ultimately affected nothing #i kind of expected spirits in the data storm also #but would have liked to have seen notrette more than el4n #anyway here’s my ramble in the tags #overall good show just wish the end hadnt been so messy #soda art

and many commenters on different platforms seem to be displeased with the lack of character development that lee tang gets throughout the show, as well as the lack of a "real" protagonist.

i personally think that, much like raskolnikov in crime and punishment, who i believe (here, I might be wrong since it's been like 5 years since I've read the book so my memories of it are rather jaded) also exhibited little, to no character development throughout the whole book, lee tang remains the same inwardly despite the fact he believes himself to have changed in that small amount of time and even tries to prove that by dressing differently (his hair, outfits), changing his life style (exercising more and etc.). He's still largely confused and unsure about his abilities and hasn't really reconciled with this new version of himself (the constant waves of guilt he gets, those weird dreams and etc.) and still has doubts (maybe he'll be having those doubts forever) about the nature of his deeds and whether they're justifiable or he's really just a murderer. A sudden character development would make no sense in this show, at least that's my opinion.

When it comes to the lack of a protagonist, I think that the real protagonist of this show is the fucked up world we all live in, while lee tang just emerges as a temporal solution to some of its problems (temporal because he can't live forever and clean the streets of its vices).

#a killer paradox #i just love this show #some people call it pointless #it reminds me that i should just stop reading reviews and trust my own judgement from time to time #kdrama #choi wooshik #son sukku

Unpopular opinion time: I think Loki's arc in the movies was excellent and we didn't need to drag him back from the dead to give him a series that ends with him completing exactly the same arc. Again.

#🤷‍♀️ why my guy #now if they'd explored Loki's arc post IW then sure that would have been more interesting #but it just feels like we relived his exact same arc again #and like it was fun and I liked it #s2 was amazing #but it just feels a little pointless y'know? #like both end with him sacrificing himself for those he loves to try and stop the evil villain #idk why we needed to do it twice? #anti Loki show #and if someone brings up that it was so he can fall in love with Mobius I SWEAR TO GOD

Ten years later, and I’m still upset that they killed Neal in ouat

#like…. even without the swanfire of it all #terrible decision!!! #I’ve said it all before. but like. #rumple needed Neal there for his own story line #Neal connected the charmings and the golds in the story #and even if they want to go cs (a bad decision) #Neal didnt need to die for it! #they really kind of rub it in the audience’s face and show that he’s dead and not coming back #with naming the baby Neal. the grave visit. #AND RUMPLE DECIDING THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO LET NEAL ‘DIE A HERO’ #SO HE JUST ERASES HIS MEMORY OF IT #rumple would never #and it was such a pointless death too!! Neal dying didn’t really help the heroes out much in the end #mine #ouat #nealfire #tag meta #yes. I am rewatching ouat. tysm for asking

BBC Merlin is a tragedy in that Merlin's choices that were all to save Arthur's life led to Arthur's death, but that doesn't mean it was all for nothing!! The events across their 10 years together led to a new world order which eventually brought about everything they had worked towards!! PLUS THEIR RELATIONSHIP BROUGHT JOY AND MEANING TO BOTH OF THEIR LIVES!! That means something!! GUYS!! listen guys that MEANS SOMETHING!!

#it's not like game of thrones which left us with the feeling that everything is pointless #bbc merlin #merlin #it was their love for each other that brought about the new world order!! #also I feel like people haven't watched the show in a while i keep seeing people say that Merlin betrayed his own kind #HE TRIED TO HELP THEM WHENEVER HE COULD #he introduced morgana to the druids!! He protected Gilli and told him about his magic even tho he couldve betrayed him!! #it's just that he HAD to also protect himself!! it was self preservation ok! #and sure eventually protecting arthur became more important to him than anything else #but how can ya'll play/watch TLOU and be like OBV Joel would doom the world for Ellie and then turn around and be like #merlin is a traitor to his people!! he did all he could for the promise of their future!!! and he's YOUNG and he DID HIS BEST #and how many people would let their loved ones die for a vague idea of a better society #yeah I'm a merlin apologist what of it #it's just such a nuanced issue you know i'm not saying he was right but i'm not saying he was wrong either

And if I said the multiverse twist this season should’ve been them recreating the twists from the past seasons each week?

Like imagine, one week is the duos twists, one week is the saboteur, one week is teams, one week is a have nots comp, one week is pandora’s box, one week is america’s player, one week is the third nominee, one week is battle of the block, one week is the hacker, do you see the wasted vision?

This season was supposed to celebrate the shows 25 season run anyway and they did not do that😭

#this would actually force them to play the game differently each week #no one could stay comfortable bc the game keeps changing #and the show would be embracing what it used to be #just be big brother y’know #the actual multiverse twist we got was so pointless and boring #like what happened to the nether region #what purpose did that serve #the humiliverse can die #comicverse ruined the game #scramble verse was…. there #like i always forgot about the multiverse twist outside of certain comps bc it was so useless #bb25

day 71 of asking why reddit has suddenly become convinced that the 'finn and mat's rhuidean trip are a waste of time and easily cut, and that season 3 will obviously feature him splitting off from the friends he just reunited with in order to spend the entire season dicking around with thom and getting into shenanigans, as that is much more important to his overall character arc than his 2-book waste arc

like there have been SO MANY posts like this lately and all of them are filled with comments of universal agreement! am i having a stroke? what the hell is going on???? i'll admit mat doesn't have a huge amount of specific stuff to do in the waste aside from rhuidean, but rhuidean is crucial to his character and s2 had Mat-Finn Connection Foreshadowing out the wazoo, plus the waste plotline is MUCH more fertile ground for creating additional Specific Mat Stuff and enhancing his character development & relationships with other main characters than his TDR plotline of dicking around with thom is.

#and don't even get me started on them insisting the girls will waste half a season going back to the tower #or even that egwene's whole waste arc is pointless so she should be transported into the tower coup plotline instead #like hello????? #day 7000000001 of me being grateful reddit is not responsible for adapting the show bc most of their ideas are complete shit lmao #i think the root of the issue is that they do not understand that mat's and the girls' s2 plotlines #were amalgamations of their TGH and TDR plotlines that event-wise were mostly TGH (mostly invented in mat's case for obv reasons) #but nonetheless captured just about all the relevant emotional beats from TDR (and the few left can be added into their TSR events) #and so they keep being like 'okay so their TDR events haven't happened yet so that's gonna be happening next season' no it isn't??? #we've moved on from that my buddy that ship has sailed (bar stone of tear which i do think we'll see in a future season) #'but emily why do you care so much that other people are making bad theories' i don't KNOW it just makes me ANGRY djkfjg #they'd better release s3 promo pics of mat and egwene in the waste asap just to put all this absurdity to rest! #wot #wot book spoilers

just saw the steam description . you now have my full attention

#this is about sonic x shadow generations btw. well i feel like thats obvious but whatever #I KNOW I KEEP SAYING THAT A SONIC GENERATIONS REMASTER IS POINTLESS. AND IT IS . #but im also really excited to see what the shadow levels are like and ive been wanting to see the black arms again for so long #if only the cool shadow content wasnt attached to a pointless remaster of a game i already have. sad ! #well they had my attention the second dooms eye was shown in the trailer but i was just assuming hed only be there for a couple stages #but this makes it sound like theres going to be way more of him than i was expecting #also the part about painful memories..... is maria going to show up in a game for the first time in like a million years #actually maybe thats why some of the egg memos in sonic frontiers mentioned maria and the black arms and gun #because they knew they were going to release this a little while later #and they wanted to refresh the minds of people who arent as knowledgeable about sonic lore #also black doom being described as shadows old nemesis is kinda funny. thats his dad that he killed
