It's a GREAT time to be a Bryan Lee O'Malley fan

It’s a GREAT time to be a Bryan Lee O’Malley fan

You’ll know of Bryan Lee O’Malley even if you don’t recognize the name. The graphic novel artist from Canada made his debut in 2003 with Lost at Sea, but would become a household name amongst video game nerds in 2004 with his most famous piece of work, the Scott Pilgrim series. The books ran from 2004 – 2010. A movie based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels also released in 2010. It was a…

I don't want to be mean, but I cannot understand people who love a movie/tv show and then don't read the book it's based on. I don't get it on a fundamental level. You loved that media and there is MORE that media! You can get more in-depth insights into the character's motivations and backstories; or you can just re-enjoy in a different format. It's right there!

#random musings #I read P&P after watching the movie #If I like a movie and it's based on a book I get the book #or the comic #or whatever #If you liked one version why not seek the other?

I swear there is nothing more insane to me than watching the n*tflix adaptation of Archive81 after listening to the original podcast and then seeing people not hating the show, it gives me such intense whiplash

#i mean like what you like and all that #but it just reminds me how podcasts and comics aren't a respectable enough medium to warrent faithful adaptations and that's INFURIATING #like god forbid a book adaptation get a characters hair wrong but a live action movie based on a comic can literally just do whatever #sure #we the fans complain but the people making it sure don't!! #anywho #soz 4 the rant #archive 81 #netflix archive 81 #dan powell

Ngl I'm getting kinda pissed at folks who have not read the Nimona graphic novel and yet feel the need to say stuff like "I've been told that Bad Things happen in it so I've decided that it's bad and it sucks and the movie is better" like shut up

#nimona #nimona graphic novel #nimona comic #nimona movie #like if you've seen/read both and liked one more than the other that's your right #but let's not literally judge a book by its cover based on out of context information pls #fandom (derogatory)

Okay but hear me out - Muldoon surviving in the JP movie & helping Maya Joshi get help to get off the island.

thinking about the death of originality in media in the west. thinking about this coiciding with anime becoming extremely popular. thinking about how hollywood and netflix and amazon are all convinced that people are mindless drones consuming the same boring shit endlessly but theyre Wrong because people are actively seeking out original ideas from half way across the world.

#thing is bc of how little people read it would be so easy for western movies and tv to be based off of books comics etc and thus be original #by virtue of Format rather than actual substance. lazy originality if you will #the same way that 90% of anime comes from pre existing manga #like you as the conglomerate dont have to make the ideas urself u just have to pay the little guys making the ideas to make an adaptation #but instead theyre like no lets make the 80th sequel to some dead asf franchise #lets remake a movie from 20 years ago #lets remake a movie from 10 years ago. fuck it lets remake one from 2 yrs ago #WHY??????? #anyway this is bound to get worse because of ai and im miserable #true originality may only prosper in fanfictipn you beautiful self indulgent authors making stuff u enjoy are the only ones creating for #the sake of creating and i LOVE YOU<3 #nyxi cant stfu

Verdict on the new Goosebumps show: I like it! There are a couple meh acting moments here and there, and it's definitely a little goofy, but it's fun.

#it's like... goofy but in the sense that it knows it's based off a series of children's books #the same way superhero movies are best when they're a little goofy bc they know they're based on comic books #and i like that the characters are flawed in individual ways. and that's what draws them to their particular supernatural things #james is my favorite character tbh. miles mckenna did a great job

Scary Godmother is my comfort movie(s), and I'm home sick rn so I pulled up YouTube on my TV to watch it. How did it take me THIS LONG to realize Jimmy has a totally different voice in the second movie??

#ive been watching these movies at least twice a year since i was a kid and i never realized his VA is different? #he sounds so much younger in Jimmys Revenge than in Halloween Spooktacular #if youre going to check it out the animation seems weird but it makes more sense if you know its based on the comic book style #scary godmother #edit: its not Jimmys Revenge its Revenge Of Jimmy
