#the first episode was terrible

[darklordsauron]

I WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE OF RINGS OF POWER (illegally) SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO:

I will list all the bad things and the good things of the first episode. Fair warning, I am right and those articles which calls this piece of steaming shit a masterpiece is wrong.

BAD THINGS-

The acting is sub par and so uncaring that it literally didn't feel like a real, just under a billion dollar, fantasy show based off of the legendary writing of J.R.R Tolkien.(Rest in peace, you deserve the world.)

Galadriel is a Mary-Sue (the perfect person. Everybody wants to be her, she is so 'cool' Rawr XD Uwu) and she is short despite being described in the books as taller than most elvish women and almost half of elvish men.

Elrond seems to have a crush on her and that just makes me nauseated.

Galadriel, if I should even call her that, wears the fëanorian star on every wardrobe item she owns it seems.

Actually, all the elves are the same height or even under it when compared to the humans.

The music sounds more like Game of Thrones than anything even remotely associated with LOTR.

The costume design in terrible. The material is cheap and plastic, they don't even try to conceal it. In one scene you can see that one of the background characters is wearing a black T-shirt underneath the clothes.

They barely say any of the characters' names (except Galadriel, which they repeat almost constantly). I had to google their names.

Brondir is the edgy warrior who is in love with the single mother (already forgot her name) who tries to help everyone around her.

The Harfoots, I also forgot all of their names, are the Hobbits of the second age and I hate the other main character whom comes from them. She is the relatable, clumsy character who is super curious. In other words, the most over used and predictable trope in all of film history.

They bring in new monsters/creatures that Tolkien never, ever wrote about. They probably needed these cliches to make the first episode more interesting.

The CGI sucks especially when Galadriel is climbing the glacier, icy, mounting thingy. The water is jelly and a piece of Valinor's sky literally clips out if you look really closely.

They jump locations every two minutes which gave me a headache and somehow the series is both fast and slow...AT THE SAME TIME!

There is really no heart in it. The entire thing was apathetic and simply lacked soul (because they sold their souls for money).

GOOD THINGS-

Gil-galad, his character actually looks canon and the actor is putting his heart into the performance thus making him the best.

The make-up of the orcs is simply beautiful. If only the rest of the series was.

Any scene with Sauron and the mentions of Morgoth is cool as it feels as if they have actual power in the otherwise boring show.

So far it sucks (no surprise there). I wanted to break my TV simply because their disrespect towards the source material is so obvious. Tomorrow my brain will have recovered enough to watch episode 2: Shit becomes shitier.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

literally obsessed with abc getting hold of buck and immediately going "before we do anything else let's just make it clear that man is NOT straight"

#obviously the show was wonderful in its time on fox but what we've already had from the first normal non-disaster episode #makes it clear that fox was holding them back soo much #like buck obviously but also sort of retackling the previous athena and harry stuff #and I've always found it very noticeable how gun related calls were essentially non existant #so being like 'here's a heartbreaking story of how an ordinary person having a gun in the home had terrible consequences' felt Significant #and to think we have a whole s8 coming from abc too..... what a time to be alive! #911 #911 spoilers #talking

this torture we're going through with the anime must be divine karma for slandering Bones all this time...... they said "oh, you don't like how we adapt things? you say the manga does it better?? okay then, well now there is no more manga. it's Bones or bust, bitches."

#bungou stray dogs #they really said now either you get the story from us or you don't get it at all 😭😭😭😭💀 #screaming crying throwing up shaking HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CARRY ON FOR THE NEXT WEEK LIKE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL #NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK 'TWILIGHT FAREWELL' MEANS #NOT EVEN A FULL WEEK BUT FIVE DAYS CAUSE THE PV ALONE WILL END ME #seriously though how can i be okay with getting canon content for the first time in the ANIME #they already do terribly with content that ALREADY EXISTS #HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL GETTING /NEW CONTENT/ THROUGH /BONES/ #i guess looking at it another way though...... i should be glad if they deliver me some fucking hope a few weeks early #like obviously i'd rather none of this have happened and have gotten to this point in the last episode in the manga first #but since it did turn out this way....... if good things happen i'll take it i can't complain at this point just GIVE ME HOPE #mexican standoff with bones now that there's (basically) no manga content left like 'so it is down to you and it is down to me' #bones at the end of the fucking bsd world: 'never thought i'd be fighting side by side with a bsd anime hater' #me: 'how about side by side with a friend?' #bones: 'aye i can do that'

Wait 😭😭😭 I’m rewatching Hen Begins and I forgot the part where they reveal that Hen inspired the other members of the 118 to file complaints about Captain Gerard.

Just imagine Tommy living under Gerard’s reign of terror, listening to that man spew homophobic bullshit left and right and just putting up with it. until Hen got there and stood up for herself. And him realizing in that moment I don’t have to take this shit either. I can stand up for myself too. I’m 😭😭😭

#sibyl speaks #I genuinely don’t understand why that (very small) contingent of fans #were saying Tommy was terrible in the Begins episodes he’s literally not????? #like he’s grown soooooo much but even back then he wasn’t like. actually doing anything awful? #yeah he was a dick to chimney but come on he was the first one to offer him friendship too!

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

okay I will be honest I fucking HATE the trope/archetype where a character has behaviors that very heavily imply they're autistic but in the actual piece of media they go to great lengths to be like "no I'm not autistic! I've been tested and they say I'm not! I'm just me :) !" coward behavior. however. I do think there are some. SOME characters where it's so so much fucking funnier if they have a fuck ton of autistic traits but it's for reasons Completely Different from autism and They're Not Autistic They're Just Like That. for example

#okay the first part of this was COMPLETELY about farkle #god in hindsight the autism episode of girl meets world is TERRIBLE jfc #mine #autism #actually autistic #mr darcy #fitzwilliam darcy #pride and prejudice #p&p

the girl in the fireplace is a visually beautiful episode and emotionally impactful and a well written romantic tragedy and scifi mystery. it is also entirely ooc for ten based on how he treats rose throughout and i wish it had never been created and i despise it so much and want to watch it burn. hope that helps

#i have beef with how good the episode is because it’s also really really bad. in a terrible way #it should have been a standalone about some random time traveller who isn’t the doctor #maybe what moff was TRYING to accomplish was another kind of jealousy plot (‘i let you keep mickey’ — you’ve brought mickey along for the #first time; let me show you how that feels) but it’s not done convincingly enough and even that is like. he would not fucking do that #the girl in the fireplace #doctor who #dw #jamie.txt #jamie catches up #tenth doctor #rose tyler

Rewatching The Ghost and Molly McGee from the start makes me appreciate Scratch’s character development because wow was it a big one. There’s a huge difference between him at the start vs the ending. And it adds more to his story when you realize it.

It’s not just that Scratch’s situation barely changed upon becoming a ghost. He was becoming an even worse person as time passed–sure, it was his job to scare people and create misery, but there are moments where he makes it clear that he enjoys seeing people suffer. A part of it could have been because he was so miserable in his human life that he was taking delight in seeing others suffer.

He had no problem seeing Molly suffer, especially if it meant she would leave and thus would break the curse. Heck, even if the person was innocent, he still enjoyed it watching them get hurt physically or mentally. If Molly hadn’t shown up, how much worse could he have become? What if that first day of school turned out differently, or he didn’t realize that he was subjecting her to the exact same mistreatment from others that he gets from his peers?

And then there’s the other side of the coin–Todd Mortenson. These first few episodes hit differently now that I know the truth.

He is almost always by himself, and though he attends events like the softball game or the unveiling of the statue, he does blend in with everyone else and it’s only his suspiciously similar features that kept our eyes on him. No one in town seems to know him or comment on his behavior. The one person still in Brighton who grew up with Todd–and would have noticed that something was off about Todd’s behavior–holds a petty decades-long grudge and actively discludes him from additional gatherings.

And to Molly, Todd really was just a random citizen at the time and for quite awhile. Her only actual interaction with Todd in the first eight episodes was trying to get donation money and then slapping a flyer on his face without considering how rude that was. There’s no telling if Todd remembered THAT, but he definitely saw her during the monument unveiling, and later the Internship episode, (which is a crucial interaction). 

Todd is truly the butt of the jokes when the show does bother to acknowledge him. When we get to the reveal that he was suffering from severe depression and anxiety, it makes these moments come off as harsh. 

#the ghost and molly mcgee #the ghost nad molly mcgee spoilers #yeah scratch is REALLY mean in the first few episodes-I think he was in danger of becoming a terrible person without molly #scratch the ghost #todd mortenson #molly mcgee

I'm still so impressed with the visual language of KinnPorsche.

A few minutes into the episode and they already told us so much.

#I didn't even catch that direct visual parallel when I watched the episode the first time #it's a punch to the gut but also so good #GOD do I despise his father #I know that Vegas did some terrible things #really terrible things #but... #I'm a sucker for redemption arcs #and character growth #just letting you know #kinnporsche #kinnporche the series #kinnporsche ep11 #vegas theerapanyakul #vegaspete #this is the queue speaking I'm not even here #1000 notes

having thoughts about how Husk actually has very little left to redeem bc he started his journey of self-change before even coming to work at the hotel, but at the same time redemption isn't even his goal- he ain't even aiming for heaven, he just wanted to be a better person and maybe now with friends and especially Angel, who he supports so much and wants to see succeed, maybe now he has a reason to be a better person

#hazbin hotel #husk #warning I am about to ramble in these tags O7 I have a ridiculous amount of thoughts about this cat bird man #thinking about that word of god from vivzie that Husk is actively fighting his gambling addiction in hell #which besides the pilot we've only seen his gambling mentioned in the past #and idk if it's just because they had to focus on other things but we don't see him drinking as heavily as he did in the pilot #and first few episodes. like he actually wants to be sober #we know he used to be an overlord and we assume that comes with all the terrible overlord qualities #(aka there's no such thing as a good slave owner) #but the Husk we know now has been on both sides of this chain #he knows and respects boundaries. consent is super important to him. this feels like a moral you can't really have to be an overlord #he also sees everyone as more than just what they can do for him specifically. he gets NOTHING out of being Angel's friend #he gets NOTHING out of defending Angel and Cherri during the fight with the Exorcists #he knows when to open up and who to open up to and trust. and he extends a hand to someone in need. someone he ain't even close to- #and if it hasn't changed he is trying to beat his own vices despite not even being a guest of the hotel. he's staff. he doesn't HAVE to #participate in their activities or try to change. he was dragged into this #but dammit he does it anyway #(also if he is still trying to beat his gambling addiction I wonder if the pilot was a relapse. hm) #anyway ig what im trying to say is husk isn't a guest at the hotel but plays the role of a guide for the guests bc he's already #got a very strong and *GOOD* set of morals considering they're in hell #like his level of morals we've only seen /explicitly/ shown in hellborn. and yeah consent and boundaries is rock bottom even for Earth #but they're in hell so somehow the bar manages to be even fucking lower than that so I consider it a win #ALSO THE FACT THAT HE STOOD BETWEEN ANGEL & CHERRI AND THE EXORCISTS??? this mf is willing to DIE for these people #I am 100% sure that if Husk's soul didn't belong to Alastor he would already be redeemed #we don't know what he did in life and we don't know how bad he was as an overlord but we know who husk is /now/ #and that person is a pretty damn good guy #he might have some work to do sure but he's already at least started his redemption before the show even began and #we're just seeing the tail end of it #god damn I really rambled in these tags i am so sorry #I just have so many thoughts about him

the fucking whiplash btw when twelve announces they're 2000 years old. ten lived for about six years. eleven lived for more than 1000 years?

#unless they've just lost count or they're just making shit up #but I just??? eleven lived for longer than all the other doctors COMBINED???? #doctor who #dw #the doctor #the twelfth doctor #the eleventh doctor #the tenth doctor #i have questions #the first one of which is: does this even make sense? #listen i knOW there's that truly terrible final episode in eleven's run where they stick around some random town for hundreds and hundreds #of years... and before THAT they had a few hundred down already #i have questions about the doctor and ageing specifically as it pertains to eleven and just being THAT old though #i guess there's a sliiightly bit more acceptance of the idea that so many people around the universe know that exact face #in a sort of *yoooo that's so old they're basically a god (even though they Are Not) kind of way* #but my first question is STILL: DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE? #i KNOW canon is messy but does it???

[truckkinnie2]

The ofmd thing is just so batshit crazy because isnt there like. Anything else you could do with 20000 dollars. Like literally anything else.

#all this for a terrible show you guys have all lost the fucking plot this is sooo #the first season was ok. i couldnt get past two episodes in season two. it was that bad.

[bipirate]

idiot she's been in love with you the whole time

#this episode is soooo fucking funny #as usual out of context this is really cute and i mean it is in context as well #'oh no akane took a love potion and she'll fall in love with the first man she sees...' #'it'd be terrible if she fell in love with the old man so i'll sacrifice myself' yeah what a sacrifice that would be huh ranma #ranma 1/2 lb
