#please go watch it though

[dysfunctional-doodle]

Just watched Mutant Mayhem, here are my thoughts!

Overall: Yes, very good I suggest everyone watch it when they can or I will break your knees :)

I’m going to end up rambling far too much unless I split this properly, so I’m going to break it down into sections starting from what I believe is most important in a movie.

This post is still going to be a mess ngl

Story: 8/10

The story is actually very good! It was paced very well and ended in a very touching way. No character interactions or plot beats felt forced or cliché, and no forced identity politics which is always a plus.

The action scenes - of course they were amazing. Paired with the stellar animation, each action scene was brilliantly directed and choreographed. The start shows the turtles’ origin story is similar to most of the iterations with its own unique factors - in this case the ooze was created by Baxter Stockman.

The conflict of the plot was well written, the final act was great and ends with a hopeful and satisfying ending (there is a mid credit scene that teases something big for the series though!).

If it’s any consolation, it’s also very friendly to new fans of TMNT - I went with someone who has not seen any TMNT media before and they really liked it and understood it easily.

Characters: 9/10

Needless to say, all the characters were very well done. Despite its run time and large cast, each one feels grounded with their own unique personality.

For starters: the four main boys! They were done brilliantly - Mikey being hopeful and optimistic whilst naturally being empathetic, Raph channeling chaotic good energy with his iconic rage personality not being over the top, Donnie being a geek in the best way possible, and Leo trying to be a good leader and anxious, always looking out for his brothers but not a complete teachers pet. All very likeable, and I can’t wait to see them in the series!

Splinter: probably the best since 2003! Openly caring of his sons and worries a great deal about how humans will perceive them. Has his own trauma from his experience with humans so he tries to protect his sons by isolating them completely, but eventually realises that his own view of humans should not affect his son’s happiness and lets them fulfil their dream of trying to be accepted by humans even if he will never like humanity himself. Peak character development, 10/10.

Villain/s: all of them felt fleshed out and I look forward to seeing them in the series! Posed their own genuine threats with varying levels of morals. Again, all were fleshed out quite well and played a role in the story.

April: honestly, she didn’t have too much in it compared to the others but does play a key role in the final act and the ending itself. An interesting iteration of April, curious to see more of her.

Animation: 10000000/10

It was brilliant. What else can I say? Though inspired by Spider-verse it is its own style which is amazing to look at. It thrives in action scenes and landscapes. Another groundbreaking style that I hope to see influence others.

Music: 8/10

It slaps. Almost all of them I will be playing for the next week or so. The soundtracks really set the mood beautifully, especially the sombre track. Paired with the animation - ugh - chefs kiss

Overall Rating: 8/10

I am usually very very harsh with films, so for me to rate anything above a seven is basically unheard of. Probably my favourite movie of 2023, and my favourite TMNT movie. 2003 only just beats it overall but that’s mostly because I’ve known it for longer - who knows, a few more rewatches and it might overtake.

to all aroha's and anyone affected by the moonbin news: please be aware that the next couple of days will probably be very intense. take care of yourself, and check on your friends.

and please know that even though you didn't know him personally, it's okay to be upset, it's okay to be grieving. take your time. and despite what people will tell you, it's okay to be worrying about the idols who were friends with him.

#kpop #astro #moonbin #aroha #this is very sadly not the first time I'm watching this happen #and it probably won't be the last #but I know for a lot of kpop fans it IS their first time going through kind of situation #please be kind to people

everybody listen up. “the artful dodger” on hulu is awesome. it scratches this niche itch i never knew i had for a dickensian based 1850s colonial australian medical drama. it’s quirky. it’s fun. it takes a historical premise and then puts rock music over it and it just works. the cast is stellar, their chemistry is perfect, the acting is brilliant, the cinematography is lovely. i would easily and gladly take 5 seasons of it. it’s… dare i say… artful. yes i’ll see myself out now

#the artful dodger #artful dodger #the artful dodger hulu #charles dickens #oliver twist #thank you for coming to my ted talk #I can’t believe this was originally supposed to be a limited miniseries #please give this show a season 2 and then maybe more #if you haven’t watched it yet go give it a try! #it’s so fun #though it is medical so be warned there’s a fair amount of blood and gore

Currently watching Rammstein live performances with my husband, and he, eyes glued to the screen, suddenly says: "Man. The older they get, the more clothes they wear" and I just. Yep, that's it. That's the problem here

#firstly we watched links234 from 2019 and now we're back to Sehnsucht from LAB #younger and more naked. that's the way to go #even though I'd like to see more skin this year please #Rammstein

ngl i need jack back on doctor who and i need him to mention ianto. like when he gives his “i had a boyfriend who…” anecdotes but he actually mentions ianto’s name (he kept his promise and never forgot him)

The important takeaway from Roe v. Wade is that this is a problem for everyone. Not just women. Not just people seeking abortions or access to related care.

Overturning this decision is a gateway to other dangerous avenues of revoking further rights to...

PRIVACY

Your rights to decide to use birth control and who you disclose that to

Your rights to decide on what treatments are right for you and who gets to decide that for you

Your rights to the confidentiality of your medical records

HEALTHCARE

Again, your rights to decide on what treatments are right for you

Access to borderline treatments that states may qualify as “abortions” that are actually used to treat miscarriages, uterine and ovarian cancer, and other life-threatening conditions faced by hundreds of thousands of people in this country every year

The legality of things like IVF, stem cell research, gene therapy, and any medical advancement that might be seen as crossing the new line

LGBTQIA+ RIGHTS

Trans rights! Access to hormone therapy and gender-affirming care! Also your right to privacy regarding receiving this care!

Justice Thomas’ opinion literally says they are coming for marriage equality next

Oh and also the right to not be persecuted by the law for same sex acts in general

STATE VS. FEDERAL LAW

If I need to remind anyone who’s been forced to sit through a US history class about what happens when there is widespread debate about how laws can be enforced at the federal or state level, and the importance of the laws that are enforced there, then perhaps you should be made to sit through that class again...

#sorry we're gonna be big mad posting a little bit more today kids #i have to get this out somehow #even though i knew it was coming i am just scared and horrified #watching this country go backwards so quickly is just terrifying #please vote

hey if u guys r sad about ofmd and want another show with gay people to watch you should consider watching Deadloch. It’s really good it’s really really good uh it might get a second season if the creators decide to do that.

if you watch good omens you’ll be able to watch Deadloch they’re on the same service. Uhhhh One of the actors from ofmd is there shes one half of the main duo (the other half is played by Kate Box who’s an amazing actor and Dulcie is now one of my fav characters ever) gets to wear an open Hawaiian shirt for like 3 of the 8 episodes which is a bonus. It’s extremely gay and it’s fun and beautifully written and no queer characters die and it’s satisfying and funny and Please watch it I’m begging you please watch itPLEASE

#ofmd #deadloch #PLEASEEEEEE please Im begging Im on my hands and my knees PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW #It’s not shy about being gay it practically opens with gay sex ok please pleaseee watch it #It’s got so many amazing characters every character is so well written it’s a detective satire that ends on a pretty openly anti cop note #The main characters work so well together and the actors have such good chemistry and the storytelling is so good and well done #Literally my only my singular criticism of the entire show is that I think the lighting in some scenes could be brighter so you can #Actually tell what’s going on bc it’s sort of hard to at certain points #THATS MY ONLY CRITICISM AT ALL ITS THAT GOOD #Ive watched it 10 times now I’m still finding new stuff and connecting things it hasn’t gotten old yet #It’s seriously like unironically a masterpiece of a show. I would like it just as much if everything else was the same but the characters #Were straight #Though given how much of it is tied to gay and specifically lesbian culture it would be sort of hard to do that LOL #but still. like hypothetically. If it was straight I would not like it any less I would still be just as crazy about it

boy best friends playing together in juniors to bitter sort-of-exes playing against each other in pro sports is my favorite thing
