A movie that sets up another movie will always be too afraid to take an outlandish risk. "This has to make sense. We have to write X and X later. We are betting money on this" is inherently opposed to fresh, fun story ideas.
In a self-contained story you can draw up the most extreme scenarios possible for the sake of proving a point, to establish a theme. A drawn-out, episodic mega media franchise like the MCU is confined to the predictable. Every movie only needs to do two things:
Rehash what has been proven to sell and
Set up the next film
Every MCU film comes with built-in limits on how profound, unique, exciting they can be and yes it's probably obvious but I just watched one (1) good standalone unique film (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and am disgustingly mad at the slop I have consumed and will continue to consume

my neighborhood is apparently losing connection for ? some time ? so parting gift for u all. its v sillies how tsurugi spent so much time in blind faith and dependency due to being vvv traumatized and having no options other than juu. like i don’t think i’m well versed (or awake) enough to accurately articulate my thoughts on a “cult like” childhood right now but u guys get the vibe?
it’s silly how that’s how he grew up and then whoops! haha funny story tsurugi you know how you keep being given ways out/having your beliefs questioned and challenged and changed (kinji (twice), satsuki, etc)?
haha. wellll hope u took those lessons to hard because ur now being forcibly cut from the person u were reliant on in the past! because juu fucking sucks and traumatized as u are u can’t rely on him anymore as the figure u follow because the beliefs he instilled in u are the antithesis of his actions! so i sure hope ur able to cope with everything in a normal way instead of falling back on ur old beliefs to a even more extremist degree because everyone who gets close to u and then acts against what u believe in winds up dead or “worse” (a criminal/a despair)
and so obviously because this is how he is with systems of beliefs and with dependent tendencies he launches hard into isolating himself from others and not allowing for their input. and whoops look at what u did tsurugi! you created a workplace environment where people work for u (forming reliance/dependency) and also u provide them with a sense of security safety and stability after they’ve been traumatized and have a severe distrust of the entire world/view it as something which needs to be cleansed. and then u have a category 5 meltdown do some morally questionable things and go off the map because ur arguably alone.
this is so long but tldr. i think it’s really funny (not) the degree to which tsurugi winds up replicating juu. i need to not think abt tsurugi anymore i have so much schoolwork due i need to sleep

So uuuuuuh does anyone else’s Sonic change voices when writing him?
Like for two sentences he’ll be sound all Ryan, then more Jason, a little later he sounds all Roger, sometimes it’s a weird mix of two-three voices together, and then a particular line comes and BOOM he sounds like Penny Parker
Or is that just me

i think right now. people have such a low regard for other humans and it’s very sad to see. filming strangers with the sole reason of mocking them, screenshotting dating app/social media profiles to make fun of them, labeling people npcs bc they’re behaving “too normal”. like these are other people. there’s such a lack of empathy and understanding in general it’s just gross

I've have zero experience in this field fyi but live feedings stress me out so much not in a "ohh the mouse/crab is dying :(" way but in a "that mouse got very close to slicing that snakes eye w it's teeth" and "that crab literally pinched and hurt your mantis shrimp" like. Idk I'm sure they know more than me and ppl say some/most animals wont eat dead prey but idk the risk is there and it bothers me :/

I really hope all of those ‘morally grey-ish’ vaguely ally vaguely homophobic straight vibes Highschool boys have a cool bisexual best friend to be there for them. cus u know they ain’t havin a good time in that head of theirs. like I’ll give you a hug and talk to you about it bc you might not be okay. yknow? like there’s smthn about that kind of guy that I worry about bc they never really seem super happy with themselves or with life or are alright no matter how much of the dark socially out there jokester type they are. and they never really seem to fully believe in the homophobic stuff at first but if nobody intervenes they’re good candidates to get suckered down the alt right pipeline but if they get queer stuff to see irl and queer people to interact with they’d get it yknow. like buddy do you wanna have a heart to heart because I will watch breakfast club with you and buy some snacks are you alright ??
