Das war wirklich die (fast) perfekte Show. 9/10 Kackwürste Punkte.
Im Endeffekt gibt es die volle Punktzahl nur nicht, weil sie in den Shows trotzdem immer noch gegeneinander antreten mussten und es sich manchmal ein bisschen zu sehr nach Wettkampf um jeden Preis angefühlt hat. Das ist aber denke ich weniger der Show selbst geschuldet und mehr der Zeit, in der sie lief (2016-19). Es waren genau die Jahre, in den dieser Umbruch vor der Kamera von Konkurrenten zu Partnern stattgefunden hat und die Beste Show war für das letzte Hurra des "Wir hassen uns abgrundtief aber irgendwie wollen wir auch slow dancen" die perfekte Bühne.
Aber ganz ehrlich: dieses Konzept platzt fast vor Kreativität, Größenwahn, Humor, Spannung und wirklich allem, was gutes Fernsehen ausmacht. JK sind in ihrer Unterschiedlichkeit dafür die perfekten Akteure und Jeannine hat es genauso fantastisch moderiert wie das Duell. Rundum war das eine der ersten Shows, die auch einem breiteren Publikum gezeigt hat, was alles in Joko und Klaas und der Florida als Produktionsfirma steckt. Es war trotz allem Konkurrenzgehabe auch die erste Show, in der sie relativ offen großen Spaß miteinander hatten und bei den Shows des jeweils anderen oft mit voller Freude zugesehen haben.
Ich liebe die Beste Show der Welt. Ich verstehe, warum sie nie wieder kommen wird, aber für die Zeit, in der sie stattgefunden hat, hätte ich mir wirklich nichts besseres wünschen können.
This whole scene with Allen talking to Nolan in the prison was so good on its own merit, finally getting to hear how Nolan himself had internalized everything he did back on earth during the S1 finale had not only affected him, but his son as well, and he feels absolutely TERRIBLE about it.
But that last bit of dialogue he says right before the screen cuts to black caught me so off guard, left me speechless for a moment.....
The way JK Simmons delivers the line, it's a line of honesty but of total surprise as well. The way his voice softly quivers and trails off as he starts to realize this, like he wasn't expecting to feel this way, after everything he had said about her and how painful was for Debbie to even hear those words.
After all of that, he still misses her.
Way to go, JK. You are a GOAT for voice work like this.
Jaime pants, one brow furrowed, sweat dripping down his hair as he cages you in, lips pressed to yours feverishly, whimpering. Your nails dig into his shoulders as he fucks you, sound of the bed creaking as he does. He's sure Khaji Da's mentioning his dopamine and endorphins levels are off the charts alongside his quickened heartbeat, but you're just so irresistible when you're whimpering his name like that. Besides, it's a great stress reliever and post-fight reward. Ugh. He pauses slightly, pushing his hair back as you exhale shakily.
"What? Tired already, mi amor?" You hum, lips quirked upward, expression changing as he thrusts into you again.
"You're really chatty, mi vida." Jaime mumbles. "Maybe if you didn't look so good, I wouldn't stop to admire your beauty so often."
Jaime looks down as you clench on him from the compliment.
"You're such a womanizer, mi amor." You mumble.
"Only you get to hear things like this." He hums, thumb finding your clit as he starts again, slower this time, holding you down as he forces you to feel every inch of you, eyes enamored as he watches himself disappear into you slowly, holding you down so you can't squirm.
"Jaime." You gasp. "Please."
"Please what, mi vida? You know you have to say it." He smiles cheekily.
"Harder? Please?" You try, voice coming out weak.
"Of course." He presses a kiss to the corner of your eye. "All you had to do is ask."
and Jaime loves gently, a reminder that he was affectionate with you no matter the situation, skin pressed to yours, lips pressed to yours, fingers laced with yours— he was yours from the inside out.
yeah yeah something something when percy said "no matter what, we all meet back here next year, right here" that was actually walker talking to aryan, leah and the rest of the cast and crew like 'season two, let's make it happen'
Puh, direkt zum Anfang eine der Shows, die für mich am schwierigsten einzuschätzen ist.
Ich muss da auch unterscheiden zwischen damals und heute. MTV Home ist für mich eine Art Zeitkapsel, weil die Sendung extrem gut in den frühen 2000ern funktioniert hat, innovativ und frech war und den Grundstein für JK und ihre Firma gelegt hat.
Heute kann man sich einiges davon nicht mehr ansehen, weil man vor Fremdscham eingeht xD
Trotzdem überwiegen für mich allein aufgrund der Nostalgie und Kreativität die positiven Punkte.
MTV Home hatte Rubriken, die z.T. bis heute überlebt haben (Aushalten), auf alle Fälle aber legendär sind.
MTV Home hatte Gemeinsam Dumm, was ich immer noch abgöttisch liebe.
MTV Home hatte JK und Palina <3
MTV Home hat Joko und Klaas zueinander gebracht.
Und vor allem: MTV Home war einfach wild.
Es gab einige negative Ausreißer, es gab viel, was man hätte besser machen können, aber gerade deswegen war die Show so authentisch.
Die Einzigartigkeit dieser Sendung ist das, was am meisten hervorsticht. Was sich die Florida damals ausdachte, hat sich vielleicht weiterentwickelt und verändert, im Kern war es aber so gut, dass sie dieses Konzept acht Jahre lang bis ans Limit ausgereizt haben.
Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn: MTV Home bekommt 8/10 Kackwürste Punkte
The mf who will never own the packers! I love his messy ponytail sm, he deserves it in ghost form too. I think in human form, it still moves a bit more animatedly than normal, and in ghostly form it straight up moves like it's underwater or a slow-mo fire crackling.
yall i just KEEP doing back to mizu and taigen's wrestling scene in master eiji's forge and like i know that taigen literally got a boner from it BUT THE THING IS out of all the scenes these two have together, this scene actually has the least sexual tension ?!? cuz like the boner aside, this scene is actually very soft and emotions-driven rather than pure passion or lust.
arguably, a more passionate and sexually-charged scene would be their previous brawl in the snow with the chopsticks, which is tense and angry and also the scene that mizu thinks about when madame kaji talks about being honest with one's innermost desires.
but THIS scene in the forge? warm colours. their laughter and their smiles that both equally genuine. the WAY taigen looks at mizu in that scene, staring first at her lips, her smile, then looking into her eyes. and you can see by the framing of the scene and the look on his face that he is, for the first time, seeing her eyes as something beautiful rather than off-putting or frightening.
like before this point he's already come to not only respect mizu as a person and an equal but also admires her as an incredible swordsman and as someone who is kind and honourable* for having saved his life at the expense of her revenge quest. so as of the time of them tussling in the forge, taigen has already put aside his prejudices about mizu's blue eyes and no longer finds them as any cause for disgust. but in this scene he's not just indifferent about her eyes, but attracted too it.
and i'd also like to argue that his boner is not from the physical exertion or the act of wrestling itself, but from the intimacy of a playful spar, enjoying each other's easy company after having established a deep trust with each other (taigen endured torture for mizu and helped defend her from archers in the chasm while mizu saved his life from fowler's castle)
and all this while in the safety of mizu's childhood home while both of them are still recovering from near-death, amplifying their vulnerability with each other.
like when was the last time mizu cracked a genuine smile, let alone a laugh that's more than a little wry chuckle?? and for this to happen at such a low point in her life also speaks to the comfort this little friendly spar gives her.
because like, this is after she failed her mission to kill fowler. meanwhile her sword--the embodiment of her soul--is broken, and ringo who is her closest confidant is now angry at her and barely even looks at her. it just further lends to the inherent tenderness and intimacy in this scene. and i just. AHHHH i love them your honour....
* ALSO as a side note about taigen believing mizu to be honourable: he later realises that this assumption turns out to be quite false when she reveals that she'd not only allowed akemi to be taken away against her will but also has said nothing about fowler's impending attack on edo.
also i find it very interesting that out of the two revelations, taigen is less angered by mizu letting akemi being married off (he sighs angrily and marches off saying he has to go to edo to find akemi), but much more angered by mizu's refusal to save the shogun and the shogunate as a whole.
this is more proof that taigen's central principles are firmly rooted in the bushido and the concept of honour that comes with that. it's why he lashes out at mizu. because he'd believed mizu to be honourable and righteous, but was proven wrong. that's not to say that taigen is in the right for calling mizu a demon, not by any means. but i just find it a very interesting part of his character and it relates to his relationship and perception of mizu
also while rewatching the episode i found this very funny they just lyin there in the cart like this 🧍🏽♂️🧍🏽♂️
imagine finding out that not only the greek gods are real but that you’re a demigod- holding your breath waiting for your godly parent to claim you… and it’s lin manuel miranda
