#online working could be funny

[biracy]

I know this can be contentious (and even just mentioning this kind of analysis as a serious one makes a lot of people who don't understand what literary analysis is very angry) but I actually think it's pretty cool that people can draw both transfeminine and transmasculine reads of Jesse from hit TV show Jesse out of the text of the show. Something something shared experiences something something solidarity. You get the idea

#i've done the Analysis(tm) i'm smart i know how to read. i think a trans read goes 'in all directions' as they say #idk i Barely participate in any discussion abt the show on here bc i haven't finished it yet #but just like most instances of interpretive lgbt analysis i think neither is the more objectively 'correct read' #bc that's not really how literary analysis works oops #open mick night #breaking bad #jesse pinkman #i could also post at length abt how transgender reads of 'prestige television' or 'classic literature' #are disregarded and treated as like 'stupid online teenager fandom nonsense' #but like it's a genuine analytical lens that can be applied to characters and stories even if 'that's not what the author intended' #but i don't wanna talk abt that rn. i wanna talk abt achy breaky bad and i've expounded most of my funny thoughts #so i'm testing out smart ones #don't worry i think abt other characters TOO. i'll get to it i wanna space em out

[linagram]

everyone's album covers, song previews and album trailer voicelines!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS I'M FINALLY DONE WITH ALL OF THEM *falls on the floor*

okay okay i'm actually kinda proud of myself?? :'D like i always prefer just. drawing characters even though i don't really avoid drawing backgrounds and i don't find drawing them that difficult but i rarely pay attention to things like. doors so yeah it's kinda cool that i've managed to come up with ten different door designs and draw them! even though most of them don't even look like doors. it's okay listen i just wanted to make them as weird as their mvs okay

(also about some prisoners having the symbols on their uhhh restraints and most of them not having them. well you see i just didn't have any energy left to draw them so i was like "it's fine i'll just draw the actual symbols later" and guess what. i didn't :) and i'm too tired to draw all of them so y-yeah. honestly maybe i'll change the symbols to something else like it takes way too much time to draw them and they're not even that close to the canon ones)

okay sorry for rambling, you can read everyone's song previews, titles (though you can see them on the covers, but still. or maybe you can't see them i'm sorry if the text is hard to read 😭) and album trailer voicelines under the cut! and also more of my rambling

Album trailer voicelines:

Akio: "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!"

Aimi: "Don't you think that's kind of.. unprofessional?"

Shun: "I-Isn't it a good thing that I'm getting better?"

Naomi: "But in the end, I've simply decided to agree with you."

Kei: "It's time for your punishment, Eiji~"

Eiko: "It's like.. your life finally has a purpose."

Asahi: "I wanna go home, even if I don't have one anymore."

Yurika: "THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE!"

Riku: "Haha, trust me, I'm strong enough to do that."

Reina: "So, yeah, the show's over."

Song titles:

Akio: The King's Execution

Aimi: Mask of Kindness

Shun: Wrong Route

Naomi: Your Story

Kei: Web of Desire

Eiko: As Seen On TV

Asahi: 'Cause I Deserve It

Yurika: Bitter Aftertaste

Riku: Trendsetter

Reina: Death of the Author

Song previews:

Akio: "Come on, fight me, punch me, beat me to death,

Show me how you've really felt about me all this time

There's no one left to support me, no one left to call me "Your Majesty"

I guess it's time for me to admit my defeat" 

Aimi:

"Let's have as much fun as we can today, like this is the last day of our lives

I won't ask you to be careful, I know you won't listen to me anyway

Let's make these moments more colorful than ever before

Let's turn today into our best masterpiece"

Shun:

"I know that this is the best option, I don't even need a guide

"Real life"? What's that? Some kind of joke?

I know you will love me in every world and universe

Tell me I'm your everything, let me get the best ending"

Naomi:

"I can't believe I found out about this only now

Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't anyone else tell me about this?

Your life was so short, but so full of pain

Does this mean that I've saved you from all that suffering?"

Kei:

"Congrats, you've fallen right into my trap

Make yourself comfortable, you're in for a long ride

Tying you up, choking and biting

Keep your eyes on me, take those rose-colored glasses off"

Eiko:

"Yay, she did it, good for her! What an icon, am I right?

Haha, thank you, thank you! Serves him right, I know

You've forgiven me, darling, so let me thank you properly

Tell me what you want, I will give you everything and more"

Asahi:

"Give me more, you know that it'll never be enough for me

You want me to repay you? That's funny

Why should you give me so much and get nothing in return?

It's obvious, 'cause I deserve it"

Yurika:

"Please, please, make my world sweet again

This world is so cold, so bitter, if I take a bite, I'll get poisoned for sure

Hey, hey, what are you saying? You want more sugar as well?

Sure, anything for my master! But you're not her, so get out."

Riku:

"Now, listen, I don't like to do this

I'm not the type to abuse my power

But looks like it's time for you to get what you deserve

So get him, everyone, I'll pat you on the head later"

Reina:

"What about my crime? What about my sins?

Well, why don't you figure it out yourself?

I'll let you decide, I'll let you write my story

Aren't you the one who's supposed to judge us anyway?"

Random facts about everyone's song titles, lyrics and doors (spoiler-free. mostly):

The silhouettes from Akio's T1 MV are back!

If you've read Aimi's T1 MV description, you probably already went "Wait, is her song title a reference to that mask from her video?" and you are correct!

Shun's song title is kinda supposed to be a pun? Basically it's a reference to dating sims, character routes and all that stuff, but it's also supposed to mean taking a wrong path in life or something like that.

Naomi's song title was the hardest one to come up with and it turned out to be the most boring one. I am so sorry.

I actually wouldn't say that Asahi's door shows his MV that well, since his video will actually have mostly white and green colors, but I thought that a door like that would look boring, so yeah, I made it more colorful!

"Why is Yurika's door like that?" Oh, don't worry, compared to Asahi's door, Yurika's door shows her MV perfectly fine <3

Riku's door. Riku's door made me go through so much pain, IT WAS THE LAST DOOR I CAME UP WITH. I LITERALLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DRAW. Not even because I dislike his MV, it's just that his MV has this motif that's. Very hard to show as a door. Like all ideas I had just sounded stupid so I decided to go with something like this instead. Also I still hate drawing chains and I used a brush instead.

Yes, Naomi's door just. Looks like a diary. BUT I TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A DOOR OKAY I TRIED

Reina's door having a more "actor-like" motif probably doesn't make much sense because of the song title, but trust me, it does. And yes, her song title is based on the trope of the same name.

Aimi's song lyrics kinda sound like a sequel to her T1 song though i guess her t2 song can be called that here, but the rest of the lyrics sound more different. And yes, there will be more of their song lyrics in the MV descriptions this time >:)

Kei's song lyrics are actually supposed to be much more sad this time and even the chorus will sound differently in the end.

Reina, please, stop breaking the fourth wall, you're becoming way too powerful.

god i'm so tired of this shit. let's go back to the internet in the mid 2000s. set me free on pbskids.org and adventurequest.com the way they returned the wolves to yellowstone

#i know these websites still exist and i do actually have a paid adventurequest acct now bc i'm an adult with money #but i also haven't touched it since i paid for it like two years ago bc i was sad they got rid of my basic staff lol #but the fucking dialogue in their game was so insanely fucking funny i Wish i could write like that #花話 #anyway. in case you guys were ever wondering what the fuck my childhood on the internet looked like. it was flash games LMAO #i wasn't on forums or chatrooms (with one exception) i was playing those goddamn flash games #and making animated cursors with pokemon gifs stolen via google images. god those were simpler days #that was like legitimately my entire online life until late 2014 i think #aside from occasionally watching youtube from like... 2012 onwards anyway #i wonder if this was also partly bc i was the kind of kid where those 'you must be this age or older to enter' notices fucking worked lmao

[atomicsuperrobot]

Rereading again, and it's really interesting to note just how different the early art style is from the later style- and especially from the anime itself. With the manga, you can at least see where things came from; in the anime, it's a fairly radical departure that is only barely recognizable as what it's meant to be, at least in regards to Joker himself, specifically.

The early manga has lots of sharp points and angles, creating a character that, even if he behaves in largely similar ways, still feels almost entirely different from his animated counterpart. No wonder I was so put off by the anime's designs, originally- and that I had gotten the impression that he was older than he actually wound up being, or was type-cast as. Funny how I now largely prefer his anime design and personality, even if it's altogether not that different!

Fun fact, when I first started reading, before I had started watching the anime (and even for a bit after I had started), the voice I had for Joker in my head was the same as Kaito's, from Magic Kaito- which, as far as anime goes, would be from Detective Conan and Magic Kaito 1412, specifically. Even if he seemed older, at least in looks, in my head he very much still read as a bratty teenager, it would seem.

#Kaitou Joker #Magic Kaito #Detective Conan #Mun Post #it's sort of nice to go back from time to time; and notice the differences #in either version he's a funny guy; tho in ways that are both similar and radically different at the same time #I don't recall what sort of voice hachi had in my head; it may well have been the same as canon because it's not too dissonant #with how he looks and acts as a character in the manga #I don't know if the others had any set voices either; because I can't remember if I read about them before or after I decided to watch- #the anime; I was trying to coincide it; but it turns out the timeline of the anime is very different than the manga #it has a hell of a lot more thought put into it for one thing #for a while I had no idea if Roko was original to the anime or if he showed up in the manga or not; he seemed so out of place #p sure he was in the manga first now; tho idk if I'll ever get to read that chapter #if I could I'd love to go back and go over the early chapters; it was the beginning of the scanlation group's work #and it's got that early work wonk all over it- plus some of the double pages are separate for some reason #and it disrupts the flow; if nothing else I'd want to fix that #I've also heard something about missing pages from a twitter account; dunno what that's about necessarily tho #especially since I'm pretty sure one of the double pages was fixed after mangadex allowed chapter editing #maybe some early chapters got skipped over? or they're missing in the file downloads; no idea about those #bc I prefer to read online... #also I'd say I'm sorry about bombing two semi-unrelated tags with this nonsense; but I'm really not #it at least has SOME relevance to these topics! even outside of what I mentioned actually #bc kaito and joker are both phantom thieves; and even more interestingly; apparently there was some kind of merch crossover event- #between the kaijo anime and detective conan; that I really wish I knew the details about beyond that it Existed

My printer hates me :) (with many thanks and credit to @niennanir as before)

Gosh aren’t they gorgeous tho ♥ Especially the latest and largest, though I have to give all the credit to the paper on that one haha, it’s stunning IRL, I could almost stare at the gold lattice forever rather than read, but I’m so happy with how it turned out between the pages as well!

Quick showcase of the new additions! :D

My Drinking Game as another test run, I got the spacing how I wanted it! Yay! It’s so much handsomer and less cramped! Also I gotta say, if it wasn’t such a large usage of paper, this would be my ideal way of checking for typos - I found a couple after setting it down to ink lol, they’ve been fixed now at least ♪ Paired here with the emerge, transformed three-parter, one of my all-time-favourites <3 I reread it the night I finished it and cried again, a little bit of tender mercy always wrecks me hhhh ♥ There are so many beautiful evocative lines! I’m so happy to hold it ♪ And as you can see above, that was the one that got the cute little ghost dust jacket :D

Another test run of what I’m calling volume 1 of my Vargas Drabbles lol, so not including Have you lost your mind? since that one’s currently unfinished. I do fully intend to print it once it’s done tho :3c Hopefully that one will cause me fewer problems! I hate measuring, so I may have flubbed two covers before finally getting this one into good enough shape XP And my red yarn is still in storage so >.> Did I go purchase another ball of red yarn? I’ll never tell. You can’t tell me it doesn’t look great as a bookmark tho <3

And my current happiest! Ah!! It turned out fantastic on all counts! The cover paper obviously, as I couldn’t Not lead with that, but also the size of the spine and the way the pages settled against each other while glueing - I used a different type of paper for this one and I think I’m completely converted over, it feels amazing to work with. Whatever I was using before had to have been like 15lbs lol, I’m literally just using normal 20lb printer paper but it feels and looks and behaves so much nicer <3 The size of Helix also allowed for a slightly larger bookmark, which was perfect because we had this soft gold ribbon that was all of a couple millimeters wider than the other ribbons/yarn I’d been using, and it looks so so so pretty with the gold detailing!! I’ve put it between Ch. 1 and 2 and getting to see the actual physical size differences of the chapters is so fun ♥

#Hhhhhh crafting is so funnnnn <3 <3 <3 #Fully intending to make more - I have the next set picked out and the accompanying dust jacket to go with it haha #I've decided to stick to dust jackets for the plain non-textured covers for the most part #It does hide my detailing on the covers but it also hides if I haven't done anything to the fronts as well! Haha ♪ #I added a Captain/ZEX caption to Drinking Game like I did with ZEX/DAX but the latter is still the prettiest by far <3 #Their names were made to go together you could say hehe ♪♫ #You can kinda see I tried my hand at making a custom cover for the Vargas drabbles as well - it kiiiinda turned out? Lol #As stated I hate measuring and the lines turned out wonky :P But it's done and I've reread it for typos lol #I was worried I'd find rereading my own work cringy since most of those are older than either of my SCII fics but no it was nice actually :) #I did actually go supply shopping yet again for these since I'm having so much fun with it hehe <3 <3 #The yarn and the cover paper I used for Helix were both good finds :) I got a whole booklet of space-themed cardstock! :D #That one was one of the lesser space ones hehe ♪ I had a couple other considerations - like a yellow-on-white constellation one ♫ #But I think I'm the happiest with this one! It's beautiful and I feel like it reflects the Idle Rich themes a little bit hehe <3 #Hhhhhhh it's so nice to read them like I would a book ♥ I enjoy reading them on my iPod but there's something about The Experience hehe #Being able to hold it and place a physical bookmark and not having the glare of a screen or if the scroll goes funny lol #Just exactly what it is! And I can pull any of them at any point! #I actually had a moment where I wanted to read one of them but didn't want to move from my spot to physically go get it #Only to realize later I was holding my iPod at the time and could've read it that way as it's still very much available online lol #SCII #LAC #Vargas

refresher courses combining like arithmetic and pre-algebra/algebra should be a thing in college. w examples of how to apply these skills in everday life & keep ur mind sharp. im sure ppl will think that it’s too elementary but considering its such a growing problem for adults to forget the most basic but important math skills and just rely on the internet’s help you’d think it would b offered at least as a 1 credit elective, no? 

#i guess u could argue individuals can put in the work themselves to find tutorials and online lessons and shit... #but how many of them r going to actually do that lol #kinda funny colleges act like once u learn something u dont need to learn it again #based off of ur highschool entrance exams u took like 3 years ago #assuming u even started college straight out of high school ??

[kindnessoverperfection]

I think part of the reason why I struggle to feel close with anyone is like. I really only know how to get my social need filled through judgement and approval and rank-climbing.

It's part of why I keep wanting to involve myself in Greek Life, despite knowing how toxic it is. I'd have people around me always, constant social events, and the expectations would be clear and harsh always. So I'd have clear and easy ways to get supply. If someone's "love" is conditional, then I know when I'm doing the right things, I know when they're approving of me, I know when we're "connecting". I crave it.

But the system's close friends? They'll approve of us no matter what. So like. What then? How do I feel that connection? If I don't have to earn their care, what direction am I supposed to go in? What do I do, what do I talk about, how do I act?

#just spilling thoughts everywhere rn but ugh #im so lonely #saw smthn online that felt like it was calling me out directly lmaooo #about not caring about individuals and only caring about avoiding loneliness #(like i care abt ppl's well-being but i have no personal investment) #it felt like a strength. grey cares so deeply about specific people but also gets cut just as deeply bc of it #meanwhile i could get attention from anyone and be just as satisfied. couldn't care less about who it was or if x or y person randomly #stopped talking to me #(b4 anyone comes at me. again i intellectually care about the well-being of individuals. like i want them to have a good life and a good da #yknow. and im not a jerk. and personally i DO *want* to connect i just dont know how. the emotions and drive aren't there. it's not persona #at all. and it's fine if that's a dealbreaker for ppl but i'm not evil for it and i don't treat people badly bc of it) #my supply-seeking and overworking myself and ED behaviors are all caused by the same underlying need #i don't know how to exist without people. which is so funny bc for so long i've acted like i'm so invulnerable and independent and don't #give a shit about anyone's approval. but i do. so fucking deeply. and since direct interpersonal relationships are terrifying #my brain seeks out the next best thing - societal approval. no names or faces attached. just anyone. something. anything. #when i'm talking one-on-one with someone - yknow what no gonna make this another post and try and work it out separately

[sleepless-crows]

i feel so lonely :/

#it makes me feel disappointed that all of the effort ive spent trying to become a better person so that i can attract good people #and all the effort ive spent trying to be understanding and entertaining and funny and someone you can confide in #like they feel a little useless because. #i sort of feel like ive been replaced with someone else and i feel like they could just discard me because i feel like ive been walking #behind and never really talking these past few days anymore #and it makes me feel really sad. like at this point in my life i should have stable friendships like this is not something i should be #concerning myself about. i have bigger things to focus on. and yet. #i feel like i dont really have real friends in real life or even online anymore and maybe i just suck at being a friend #idk. that wont stop me from working on myself though. the day will come i guess. i just have to endure this right now

I hate Goncharov so much it's unreal

#it's like a bad joke. I mean. it is a bad joke. but good god the way people behave over it is also a bad joke #every time I see that fake film referenced I think about the post about how it has the best women Tumblr could ask for #because any woman from a made up film can be vaguely girlboss-y without ever having any unpleasantly ambiguous details #all the shallow celebration of the idea of a female character without that unpleasant work of engaging with the complexities of one #without any of the argument or doubt #without having men to pass over her for or complain about her crimes against #that's why I hate goncharov. it's the pinnacle of shallow aestheticization of everything whether or not it's sincere. #historical media without the burden of engaging with history #queer media and queer history without having to imagine messy queerness beyond an online discourse #you can dip your toes into a made up academic discourse without the baggage of the academy #women and queer history and older media and sincere academic discourses surrounding minorities are things I see this site spit on #sure it's not everyone. but it's more than enough to make a guy bitter. #the older I get the more I understand critics who say that the triumph of fandom is when the simulacrum subsumes the real #I don't know.

reading thru youtube comments n seeing the amount of ppl asking abt things that were clearly answered either in the video itself or the description kinda reminded me of ppl getting angry at me for not putting an explanation for cloudsnap on every post abt it, despite an explanation being very easy to find. like are ppl getting worse at seeking out information on their own online or...

#mod posts #im not upset abt the cloudsnap thing its just very funny 2 me now #makes me think of that post thats like someone explaining something n someone replying asking for sources #but the sources were already linked on the original post #so the op replies something along the lines of 'the sources are linked on the post. do u need me to come to ur house n click on them 4 you' #like this could be something thats always been a thing n im just now noticing it in higher amounts #but i definitely feel like ppl are getting worse at seeking out info themselves #i mean i know its been a Thing before. it just feels like its less frowned upon in online communities #back in my day if u asked something that was already answered clearly in the video or description u got ur ass kicked by the comments #these ppl would not survive in many work environments #anyways

the fundamental problem with me as a person is that I think I would be really good at running one of those big multifandom character poll tournaments in almost every way, but I simply cannot be assed to care about characters from media I'm not invested in

#like those polls are fundamentally just popularity contests a lot of the time. and thus deeply flawed and kinda tiresome #and also they invite discourse by nature of including a bunch of different fandoms and a bunch of random people all at once #bringing people together competitively ends in chaos lmao #HOWEVER #It is really really hard to bother me #I tend to just find annoying things kind of funny #and every time I see a poll runner having a very bad time and handling things poorly #my petty hubris filled brain starts thinking about how much better I could do by virtue of being Deeply Unbothered #I've worked years and years of customer service I can handle a tumblr poll #it's just that I don't actually even have an idea for a poll I'd like to do #and like I said. can't be assed to care about unfamiliar characters #plus how am I meant to crack relevant jokes and be a fun poll runner if I don't know who these people are? #such is the flaw inherent to the system #sorry I've been way too online today because I'm having a Weird Time this weekend #and I keep thinking about this lmao #invasion of the frogs

When I first started this blog my worst nightmare scenario was getting callout posts made about me and everyone hating me but like it's been years and I haven't seen shit!!! And I know I've said some dumbass shit on here

#random thoughts #like the closest ive gotten is vague posts and people correcting me in the notes/reblogs of my own posts #which to the second group of people i appreciate you ever so much smoocharoo from me to you #i will adjust my behavior accordingly #but also??? i kind of want the drama being called out would have #partially because my ideal life would be having a person who is always my superior correcting me all the time #so i never do anything wrong again #which like. unhealthy but go off #but also i just want the DRAMA. the BLOODSHED #like i used to make so many misandrist posts!!! i don't give a shit about anti drama!!! I HAVE A CANNIBALISM TAG #WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT FROM ME #like actually i could not give less of a shit because i have like. school and a job don't bother me with internet drama #but also when im online im DEDICATED. and that's the mood im in rn #im trying to think up more stuff about my personality that's problematic #i mean we could just do a thomas sanders and have me make a post about asexual acceptance and have everyone kill me on the spot #but like im asexual that doesn't really work #it'd be so funny if there is a call out post or like a youtube video about me that im just blissfully unaware of #cuz like. i never check my ask box #no one ever sends me stuff why would i check it #back to problematic shit i once got in like a very public argument with a trump supporter on here and i kept responding with cow facts #ummmmm the only close friendship i had on here ended with the other person going offline and i haven't seen her since #and for a while i blamed myself for it #and she asked me to delete our correspondence so i did so if she or like anyone else faked messages between us to make me look bad #i wouldn't be able to defend myself #plus i probably said some bad shit i was like fourteen and in the midst of remembering some shit that happened when i was young #honestly like most of my life pre-16 is a blur #probably forgetting a lot of bad stuff i did

was thinking i might be somewhat aro for a bit there but recently experienced an infatuation and so i will scrap that and freely admit i am just awkward and inexperienced, which is something that i dont doubt many others in their 20s who are lgbt+ also are

#it was very funny too i was like. 'am i a lesbian? i havent experienced attraction for a bit... do i egen do that anymore-' #and saw a woman i was so attracted to that i could not speak for a second #btw i am at liberty to define what those terms all mean for me etc as nobody who would respond to this here is in my head or living my life #so no anons nitpicking my identity please thanks #ramblings #dont wish me luck or anything btw. its a completely unreciprocated crush for multiple reasons #anyways its 2:30 so ill entrust this to you all. my followers #(btw none of this is said self depreciatingly etc. i am working on self confidence and finding fulfillment in life regardless of how it goes #and im doing a pretty good job of it imo! def in a better emotional situation than two years ago or so) #when i say awkward its the kind of awkwardness every beginner at something ppl have bc i have only ever been in a relationship once adjbsfb #and it was online. and honestly i wasnt sure what a relationship was totally #and i only mention that it was online bc i have even less of an idea on how to approach in person relationships #NOT to devalue it etc #anyways anyways anyways #tbh im not in a place to be in a relationship right now

Does anyone else remember book 3 of A Series of Unfortunate events, where the Baudelaire kids move in with an aunt of theirs who’s such a devoted grammar nut that she leaves behind a coded letter with grammatical mistakes she would ordinarily never make to tell the kids exactly where she was being taken so they’d know where to find her? Yeah that would never happen in this day and age. 9/10 times when I make a mistake while typing it goes completely unacknowledged until I see it myself and edit the mistake out.

#i used to type so much more proper than i do now but discord changed that for me #I would always type like this. Full capitalization #Punctuation everywhere #Perfectly grammatically correct sentences at all times. #but then i joined discord and people told me it was intimidating and made me sound like i was mad at them all the time so i slowly stopped #then years later i tried going back to my old typing style and it was just 'are you mad at me? it sounds like youre mad at me :c' #no im just tired of every individual thought i have needing to be its own message when i could have Several thoughts in one message #strung together with commas and periods and everything #what was i talking about again #oh yeah the book #anyways: yeah this wouldnt work today because of how lax most people are online with their typing styles #they might be like 'huh thats funny she spelled that word wrong. well we all make mistakes' and then their aunt would drown in a cave #lemony snicket #asoue

Just finished watching the Uncharted movie which became available on Netflix - I'm really not a person who lets the internets opinions influence my own judgement, so I went in with an open mind. But DEAR GOD, they were right 😅

I love the games and the characters and this didn't feel like them at ALL. Literally everybody is miscast and the script is a mess of "oh that was a cool scene, let's just put that in somehow even if it's super random", a missing cohesive plotline and badly written dialogue.

At least it was cool to see Nolan North's infamous beach cameo although i feel bad for him how this movie was not a good representation of the games.

Ah well, I think with other productions based on games that were actually good (like The Last Of Us for example), Hollywood veeeery slowly seems to realize how to do these right and wrong, a pity that Uncharted fell into the latter category...

#just my two cents #i'm sure there's lots of analyses online seeing how that movie came out an eternity ago #couldn't watch in theatres at the time so at the very least I'm glad i can cross that off my list now #to be clear it could be a somewhat entertaining movie on its own #and it's not like the actors did a bad job #but they neither look like the characters nor does the script give them smth good to work with #and on top of it all they're just completely different people from the game #and it's not just due to the 'we wanted to show them at their young beginnings' #because we know what that looked like from the games #also why the fuck was Cloe there they don't meet that early #anyway as i said it could be kinda enjoyable on its own but as an adaption it's a fail sorry #oh yeah also so many unnecessary lines??? and so many jokes that are -not- funny?? man that made me sad #anyway go play uncharted the games are great!
