I know we all laugh about how quickly we as viewers just accepted the whole dance sequence as real without batting an eye but let’s talk about how the umbrellas just accepted the fact that this flying cube called Christopher is their brother from another timeline without batting an eye and how the sparrows just accepted Five the freaking teenager as their 30 years old brother from another timeline without batting an eye or questioning it. So you know you can’t really blame us.

tua season 3 left me at the edge of my seat. i'm flabbergasted both good and bad reasons.

#tua netflix #tua #netlfix wtf are you up to??? #like one scene is sweet and wholesome and then jumps into some unhinged unexpected shit i can't handle #spoilers implied bc i can't rant without mentioning smth without spoilers #for example luther's wedding #or klaus and reggie's bonding time and him being proud of klaus #the brothers doing karaoke scene #or viktor coming out and everyone accepting him #but then boom! sa! yay! #or that sudden betrayal that some asshole did... a fucking gain

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol: How to do “child friendly” RIGHT

Hello, fans. I know we’re two months long overdue, but because of what has been going on in my life, I finally got around to watching Netlfix’s take on a beloved Christmas classic with a good feeling after seeing Netflix’s Pinocchio which was a masterpiece and keeping in mind that not too long ago, Netflix made another Christmas movie that the world fell in love with being Klaus. And you know what? I was absolutely NOT disappointed. In fact, I was very pleased and impressed. I will be the first to admit Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (which I will simply call Scrooge throughout this review) is not the most sophisticated adaptation of the book, but out of all the animated versions, this is the best and so far, the only adaptation that is child friendly the right way since Disney’s Mickey’s Christmas Carol. Just to give you an idea of how well done it was: I am an adult and I loved it. I’ll even go that extra mile by saying this film is criminally misjudged, underrated and was treated rather biasedly.

Be warned that there are spoilers ahead.

Number one, the animation style is CGI yet cartoony. Visually, out of all the animated adaptations of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is the most beautiful visually and has the best animation. You can tell that a lot of love was put into art because each character is emotive, unique, alive and entertaining while the animation is as smooth as silk with perfect textures. Unlike most CGI that tries to be realistic and in doing so, winds up looking creepy, unnatural and ugly, Scrooge embraces that it is all fantasy lovingly, so the characters are designed to be whimsical which is absolutely perfect for the fantastical elements like the magical sequences, the three spirits and the ghost of Jacob Marley. Because of this, they stay with you.

Number two, the music is catchy and lively. I know that a lot of people deem the music as not being good, but I have to say it, folks, I couldn’t not disagree more. I think the music is absolutely wonderful and the performances feel like something out of Broadway. Just the opening number “I love Christmas” immediately draws you in and already gives you an idea of what kind film you’re going to be watching: it’s a film people made for fun and you’re having fun with them. Plus, the songs themselves are memorable and you will find yourself listening to them again and again. I mean, I can’t get over how sad yet beautiful “Later Never Comes” is and I even find myself rewatching this movie just to listen to the music. Now I know a lot of people out there do not have the same opinion as I do, but here is a case where I have to come to the film’s defense simply because you cannot fault it for being a musical since that’s what it is. Nobody complained when the Muppet Christmas Carol had people singing at random times. Heck, even things, animals and food would sing. I think it’s pretty unfair to say characters singing is out of place because no one does it real life when that is the point of the musical genre.

Number three, the characters are nuanced. While I cannot say these characters are an extreme departure from their original versions, I can definitely say that they are more multi-dimensional than most versions I have seen. Right off of the bat, we get a hint that Ebenezer is not just some old grumpy miser nor is he completely without heart considering he has a pet dog he takes good care of and a watch that is hinted to have emotional meaning. He does have a heart, but he hides it kind of like the Beast did in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Even his introduction song “Tell Me” is actually (and ironically) telling the audience that he is not happy and has his reasons for being so bitter. In most versions, he is just a big callous bully and his heart often feels like it was pulled out of nowhere. Instead, we catch glimpses of the old grump having one and we’re learning why he just puts up defenses in the form of cruelty. And it’s not just Ebenezer. His nephew Fred is nuanced too. For once, he is refreshingly shown to be much more aware of his actions rather than just being a cheery buffoon for the sake of contrasting his uncle. Fred is cheerful, kind and hopeful because he actively wants to be the best version of himself to honour his late mother, his uncle’s dear sister, and his uncle is all he has left on her side of the family, so he constantly reaches out to him. I also appreciate that unlike most versions, he doesn’t mock his uncle Ebenezer. He toasts him and even stood up for him which shows that he is also much more mature than he lets on.

Number four, the pacing is just right. A common problem I find in most adaptations of A Christmas Carol is that it tends to be too short or drag on for too long. I recall one version that was so long that is was actually a mini-series not a movie though in its defense, it was the exception. Anyway, Scrooge doesn’t feel like a drag or like it came and went at all. It has good pacing that will keep the attention of children and keep the adults entertained. It uses every single second that is necessary to tell a good story and get the main message across. Plus, it tells us several other ones that are food for thought like making use of your time and not taking your negative experiences for granted.

Number five, it respects the intelligence of the audience. You can tell that this film is meant to be enjoyed by children, but it doesn’t hold their hands nor does it shy away from being able to be serious. It doesn’t just play with the children. It educates them by having themes of death, sickness, regret, egoism and how severely our actions can impact those around us. I can tell you this now as a parent that I really happy to see kid’s medias like this make a comeback. The film is a lesson in how greed and callousness can literally kill. I mean, Ebenezer openly accepts that he has been a jerk who is not worthy of mercy, but asks to be spared because in doing so, Tim Cratchit who does deserve mercy gets spared too. THAT is what I find missing in a lot adaptations of Charles Dickens’ famous tale. Yes, Christmas should be appreciated, but the real point of the story is to see how destructive greed and ego can be. In other words, you could teach the same lesson using any holiday or special day which focuses on generosity and kindness. And when I say that out loud, it would be kind of fun if someone adapted A Christmas Carol with a twist where the holiday was not Christmas for a change yet still captured the same deep message, but I digress. The point is that Ebenezer does indeed stay true to honouring Christmas in his heart, but more importantly, he finally gets that he has been egotistical and cruel.

I give this movie an 9/10. It’s not perfect, but it sure is close to it as far as kid-friendly versions go. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest watching it. And if you have yet don’t think much of it, watch it again and this time, please take a really good look at it because I think you may have misjudged it. I know I have made that mistake too and it took taking a second look to see how wrong I was about something.

Have a great night, everyone. And stay safe.

Let me start this post like that,

Tvd is kind of bullshit, but that's clearly Elena's fault (and I mean the character, not the actress). The only good thing about this show is, that the Mikaelson Family appears in the second season with Elijah.

But now is the time to look at that handsome fella over here, Kol Mikaelson. A dream come true.

I gotta ask, am I the only person who's kind of into the crazy psychopaths? I think this is a disease cause that shit's not normal I tell you that

What Color is Therapy

(Ranty drunk post) Okay but what if...

The Hargreeves siblings all got the help they needed. And they like processed their trauma. What was that? I can’t just want to watch my favorite characters’ 𝔾ℝ𝕆𝕎𝕋ℍ ... but i am emotionally attached to tua. I just want my babies to learn more about themselves and grow 🌱 

Like let’s talk about Allison. Her using her powers on Claire was abuse, but as we see, that’s all Allison knew how to do in life. Allison still struggles between needing to use her powers and not wanting to because she wants to live without the lie her power brings. I feel like in therapy, she would be so heavily guarded until she broke down after being overwhelmed with her regret for using her powers on Claire. 

Luther is still heart broken over the death of his father, still processing that his dad sent him to the moon. Like i meme the fuck outta that, but being lied to by a parent is haunting... especially when Luther is also struggling with body issues. Luther probably would respond to like physical workouts at first, saying he took runs to clear his head. But then one day he would do it because Vanya wouldn’t shut up about it. So when he sits down and the therapist asks him about his day, his shoulders drop and Luther just lets loose. 

Klaus is someone who is queer and uses drugs to cope with the fact that he sees dead people every single day. Not to mention fears of enclosed spaces, closets, being completely alone. And now Ben is gone. He has never properly grieved Ben because Ben was still there. And now Klaus is going to be alone. I feel like if given the chance to speak to a professional, he would benefit in finding healthy coping mechanisms. 

And Diego with his hero complex and feeling betrayed by everyone in his life, those issues would manifest in what he would do in therapy. When Diego would get a new therapist, he would lie and give misinformation. But then there would be those one days where Diego is so down that he actually talks about what’s going on. 

You think Five’s bitch ass would go to therapy? 

Vanya has had appointments booked since the apocalypse in season one.

You want to know how unlucky I am? My favorite character was dead when the show began and somehow managed to die again without ever having been resurrected. How flipping unlucky does one have to be for that happen? I’m Upset™.

Umbrella Academy Spin-Offs

I already said I want one with Klaus and Dave in Vietnam, but I want more because literally everything thing mentioned needs to have its own series.

Eudora and Diego in a procedural cop drama where Eudora is trying to do her fucking job and Diego keeps being his adorable vigilante self. Also must have flashbacks to their time in the police academy.

Time travel show with Five, Cha Cha and Hazel. Lemme see all the period clothing and interactions with famous historical figures.

A comedy that completely ignores all of the depressing shit about Klaus and Ben. Like Me and My Ghost Brother or something. Basically Klaus getting into wacky situations and Ben judging him. Must be filled with scenes of Klaus appearing to be talking to nothing.

Obviously a show about their childhood that will be so fucking depressing but I need that shit in my life, ok?

Luther going on space adventures.

A show about Allison’s career, and steadily watching everything fall apart.

A mocumentary about the umbrella academy and where are they now? Super dramatic. Preferably voiced by John Mulaney.

An animated kids show like what they did when Allison was telling a story to Claire.

A show that’s literally a “what if they were happy and Reginald wasn’t a shitty person?” AU.

Literally just make Netflix a service just for Umbrella Academy shows.
