[secondbeatsongs]

it's so funny trying to talk to people about Speed Racer (2008), because it's like...what if there was a guy who drove a car so well that he defeated capitalism

#speed racer #speed racer 2008 #speed racer (2008) #it's like #imagine there's a nascar driver with no sponsors. no logos on his car or jacket or anything. and he's the only one without logos #everyone else is plastered with 'em like in any normal race #(except for this one other dude who seems weirdly attached to the first dude) #(but don't worry about it) #anyway #so this guy's the best driver in the world #but he's not in it for the money or the notoriety #just for pure _love of the game_ #he just likes racing! #and so he finds a way #to drive a car so well #that he sends jeff bezos to prison #and dissolves the biggest corporation in the world overnight #that's what speed racer is #thank you for coming to my ted talk #anyway I might have had this conversation with a nice old lady today #in my defense #she asked

my favorite films, (11/?): Speed Racer (2008) | Dir. Lana & Lilly Wachowski

Racing's in our blood. Like for Pops, it isn't just a sport. It's way more important than that. It's like a religion. And in our house, the major sponsors are kind of like the devil. I don't mean to offend you, sir, and I do appreciate your offer, but after all we've been through, I don't think this kind of deal is for me.

I rewatched Speed Racer (2008) last week and I can't stop thinking about how on brand a trans Racer X reveal could be. Like everything stays the same. Speed thinks they are Rex until Racer X takes the mask off and reveals she is a woman. "I'm not your brother, Speed" She tells him. Of course she IS his sister but she's not exactly telling a lie, and Speed is a dumb himbo. End scene. Almost nothing else changes

Speed... when I watch you do some of the things you do, I feel like I’m watching someone paint, or... or make music. I go to the races to watch you make art. And it’s beautiful. And inspiring. And everything that art should be... even though... there are times when I have to close my eyes. Oh, but then there are other times... when you just take my breath away. And it’s at those moments when I feel your father’s chest swell, and I know that he’s smiling because he’s pretending that he doesn’t have tears in his eyes. Then I just go to pieces. Because I am so impossibly proud to be your mom. Speed Racer (May 9th, 2008)

Finally watched Speed Racer (2008) and on worm, I can't believe this came out before Redline.

The racing, the fucked up parallax stuff, the wholesome family arc, the ninja fights?! The car Judo?! the Yakuza0-ass plot twist?! The Heart bokeh during love interest scenes?!

Just watched the live-action "Speed Racer" movie after hearing how it's a cult classic among people that saw it as kids in the 2000s

It was definitely a kids movie intended for the same audience as "Spy Kids", but it was better than I expected. It was a beautiful movie that really made the best of the era's CGI, and despite the chaotic pacing and cameras did a much better job of making sure you could actually tell what was happening than, say, the live-action Transformers movies. If we're getting back to movies that Stick To The Bit, this definitely did that, even if it might have benefited from some of the actors actually hamming it up more--Roger Allam might have been too classy an actor to play the villain when they really needed more of a Tim Curry.

Also it felt like it might have been one of the last family-friendly-adventure movies before they all started feeling interchangeable, ya know, with the Whedon dialog and the identical plot timing and the "that just happened!" and the "awk-waaaard" and the "nailed it!" Like okay the chunky kid talking to the camera and his chimp sidekick* felt like some bad cliche 80s comic relief, but they were part of the show, how many ways are there to handle those characters at all

* also "Nope" apparently burned something into me because I kept wishing they would not put that kid so close to that chimp

"Here he comes,here comes Speed Racer! 🏁"

Anyone explain me why I'm having a HUGE hyperfixtation with Speed Racer right now!

Man, I've re watched Speed Racer (2008) a few days ago and gosh I didn't remember it was that good. I mean the soundtrack,the characters,the cgi from spy kids or shark boy & lavargirl, like, WHAT?! this movie has everything my inner child loves lmao.

Anyway here you have my first fanart of Speed,or as we known him in spanish "Meteoro", dude I had a really good time doing the background including the lights of the helmet and the Mach 5.

Meteoro te amo estás más bueno que la empanada de pollo y tu hermano también

#fan art #art #my art #speed racer #meteoro #meteoro racer #speed racer 2008 #speed racer fanart #so umm this fandom is dead or something? #cause I want to do a lot of fanart of it #and I mean racer x and speed fanart haha

Having a day and need to distract myself so I'm going to over analyze a throw-away line from Speed Racer 2008. Any mention of Speed Racer in this essay is in regards to that movie.

Before reading this understand that Speed Racer is a movie about macro economics effecting the individual. Any science talk is just flavor to that, and studies like this take a lot of liberty.

"Pops. Thats a Bernoulli Converginator!" "Transponder Shmonder. You want real kick you go Bernoulli."

What the fuck is a Bernoulli Converginator and why is it a big deal.

Now. First assumption. Bernoulli is a companly like Edison Motors or Tesla. Named after someone famous in the history of physics and electronics and speed.

I'm watching a video about Spider-Man 2, and how to make a good sequel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCVYDrtecDY

In it we hear Doc Ock talking to Peter about Bernoulli, and Peter asks "Did Bernoulli sleep before he found the curves of quickest descent?"

I'm going to assume that this was a well researched line, because Spider-Man 2 tries to be at least somewhat accurate with its real world physics, I think.

Looking it up, the Bernoulli family lineage has a lot of mathematics in it. Daniel Bernoulli is who we're talking about in regards to Speed Racer, for sure. His findings lead to the invention of the carburetor.

Sidebar: He was friends with Euler. I wonder if Speed Racer Universe has a company called Euler. They created a theory that explained how steel can bend without cracking. The racing cars in Speed Racer, the T-180, are essentially jets with wheels. They don't turn the wheel to turn the wheels. They turn the wheel to turn the engine.

Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or the fluid's potential energy

Another sidebar, apparently Mach is the measure of how fluids relate to the Bernoulli Principle. No clue what that relationship is. From what I can garner, it has to do with the idea that going faster fucks with the pressure of air impacting the thing going fast.

Actually, I don't think thats a sidebar. I think that can lead to the answer of "what the hell is a Bernoulli Converginator". We have an answer to what the Bernoulli half is now. Its short for Bernoulli's Principle, which has to do with Mach speeds and how they influence the pressure around something going fast.

That leads to the next question, what is a converginator? Converginator as far as I can tell is something that the Speed Racer movie came up with. So, lets break it into its principle parts. Converginate and "or". "Or" is usually a suffix that means "something that does the thing being modified". Convergence is the act of unifying, in multiple definitions. So, this is a device that unifies bernoulli's principle.

What the heck does that mean. We know that it makes things go fast, and its a power supply, and it has kick. Another throw away line with lots of weight becomes important here.

Actually, rolling back a bit first. Some more bits about the converginator. When they get the Mach 6 Car going, it starts up sounding like a V12 Engine. Or as Speed puts it, "Sounds beefy Pops."

So something about it has something similar to gearing. The design of it reflects that too. It looks like a scifi version of 6 piston engine. T-180s are all electric. So what the heck is making that noise? For right now, I'm going to either assume magnets or something causing a lot of increase or decrease to pressure.

Might be important to talk about why they're using a Converginator. The finale of the movie showcases the battle between new technology optimized by a company, and a dedicated practice working with the tools they know for the customer they know. The company they're up against created a car that uses something called the Transponder. I'm going to ignore that for now, or until this essay decides its suddenly relevant. What we need to focus on now is how a Bernoulli Converginator works to Speed's abilities and knowledge.

Now, onto that important throw away line. Speed spins out, and his car stalls, and these races don't do pit crews. He has to figure out how to get it running again, and he can only rely on the foresight of Pop's designing, and his own knowledge of that design. That foresight leads to him remembering that he can jumpstart the car with the Bernoulli Converginator. So, this thing has to be making power somehow. Either that, or its messing with potential energy.

The fluid in this case is probably air, given that aerodynamics is important. This thing can turn air pressure into electricity. Thats pretty damn cool. It reduces the pressure of the air around the car, and turns that pressure into electricity. Converting that air's potential energy into kinetic energy. This lines up with the movie I think, cause when Speed does that, he fuckin zooms. Cars don't just magically go faster than their top speed. This guy didn't just jumpstart his car. He made a mario panel speed boost to the finish line with an expert supermove that only the bernoulli converginator can do.

The Cliffhanger Racing Legends

A Reddit Repost, Vert Wheeler sitting on top of Speed Racer and Mike Chilton. These three mean a lot to me as their series have been hyperfixations for the longest time. Plus all three series stories never got resolved or finished (kinda in Speed Racer’s case but Rex never revealed his secret to Speed)

The pose was referenced off a meme, said meme I can’t find anymore.
