Sing 1 Commentary and Review Pt. 4
Welcome back to the madness loves!!! Also, I tried to tone down the commentary so I get further in the movie this time. Is this an elaborate plan to distract me from my fic being with my beta reader? Yes! Am I using it for content? Also yes! Enjoy!
I'm gonna try to get through the rest of the movie in this one (I likely will not but will try)! - <3 Gooseless
Ps. TW for brief mentions of death and drowning as I do talk a bit about the theatre flood.
----------------------------
Ok, I get this paper is calling Marcus a gang leader but his gang consists of his honorary brothers and his son... that's not a gang that's a family hangout. Also, unless the time between movies was a minimum five years, they didn't get charged at a gang so... yeah, that's really not a gang. It's a group! Not a gang.
Everyone take a moment and appreciate my eldest son. Hobbs, I love you. You deserve a raise.
I'm sure that this stage made of window panes is very stable. So stable, so structurally strong.
Mike looks like a squeaky toy here. Also, if Marcus's gang was actually a gang, you would think the bears would clock that their rival (or at least neighboring) gang's leader's kid is in the bloody room with them... on their territory.
Mike puntable moments counter: 30 (He nearly got everyone killed, this is fair)
You know Johnny... that super speed of yours from earlier would probably come in handy right about now. Just saying.
Eddie's definitely winning grandson of the year award for legit saving his grandmother's life right here by pushing her back when the balcony collapses.
The fact that they all survive this is amazing. Seriously, if Johnny wasn't here, they would have all literally died.
Also, I can't imagine this from the squids perspective. You all can breathe underwater and are now unable to help them people who are actively drowning. That's horror movie shit.
Johnny, I love you. The manners that are engrained into this boy I swear. He nearly just died and is now helping people up and checking that they're ok. He is the sweetest kid omg.
And again here! He's pushing Ash behind him to stop her from getting hit by debris while also moving towards Mrs. Crawly to do the same. This kid man, Marcus raised him right.
Mother and son. Just look at them. Mother and son.
What's really concerning her is that they live in an apartment building... did no one, not one single neighbor, call the fire department all day???
Ok now they're both sad and I'm even sadder.
...
Lance puntable moments counter: 30 (the music makes the anger stronger here)
Buster looks like me every morning at 6 am getting ready for classes here.
The 'Buster Stop Moping Brigade' has arrived!!!
Also, there's no way Rosita didn't check in on Johnny after the "I lost any chance of ever speaking to my dad again" line.
That is definitely Eddie's Uni shirt. It's huge on Buster.
Eddie also owns a skateboard and I do not believe he's ever ridden it once in his life. He definitely nearly gets dragged into a skating conversation with Johnny the first time the teen sees it but has no clue what he's talking about.
👏SUPPORTIVE👏BOYFRIEND👏OF👏THE👏YEAR👏PEOPLE👏
This random drawing in Rosita's house looks like her alien costume in Sing 2 btw.
ENGINEER ROSITA IS BACK!!!!!
Also, the whole rebuilding the stage scene is just adorable. Everyone's so happy and smiling and it's the first real moments we see them all act as troupe and it's just so sweet.
Johnny, sweetie... WHERE WERE THE SUPERPOWERS WHEN YOU NEEDED THEM?!?!?!
Oh great, the mouse is back.
Mike puntable moments counter: 32
Mrs. Crawly, ✨marketing mastermind✨.
Wait a second? Is this Mizuki? Ok new headcanon, this is Mizuki. She fell in love with the theatre when she say their first show so she applied as an intern.
------------------------------
I did not finish this in four parts (I am... so sorry) but the next one will be the last!!

Now that Raven of The Inner Palace has finished airing its first season (with, hopefully, more to come), I was recommended Bai Yao Pu as a series which runs in a similar vein. Well, now I’m enamoured with the character on the left: the charming Liu Gongzi (Mr. Liu), a snake youkai with the most lovely violet eyes (in his snake form). He’s handsome and dignified, haughty and silly (without meaning to be), but also endearing and lovable in his efforts to be a poet and chef. I seem to have a thing for snake youkai... because I’m also a longstanding Mizuki (from Kami-sama Kiss) lover.
This aside, I’m now an obsessed fan of Bai Yao Pu. The series is, honestly, incredible. I’ve completed watching all three seasons, and am now waiting impatiently for the fourth. If you’re a fan of Raven of The Inner Palace and are at a loss of how to fill the void, trust me when I say you will love this series... even if every episode will make you cry in various degrees. Seriously, this donghua, the stories it tells, are crafted so well that they will tug and rip at your heartstrings.

Kitaro franchise being weird makes perfect sense considering the folklore it draw upon, specifically the yokai. The yokai that includes a monster with a single eye on its butt (Shirime), a sumo-loving humanoid frog/turtle that attack human to pluck magical balls from their anus (Kappa), a monster whose diet consists solely of bathroom filth (Akaname), a whole slew of monster that's just animated objects (Tsukumogami), raccoon dogs with humongous balls they use to shapeshift (Tanuki), a whole whale skeleton (Bake-kujira), a little man singing about eating human while washing bean (Azukiarai) etc...
