i mean fundamentally. like when you take it all into consideration, if you leave all the other stuff out and think about it from a pure narrative/thematic perspective - not allegorical, not metaphorical, none of that - ybc is about love.
the youngblood chronicles is about four guys who have such a sincere and complete faith in and love for one another that nothing, literally nothing - not cults, not violence, not heartbreak, not brainwashing, not insanity, not death - could truly destroy that.
it’s about four guys who love each other. just love each other. and it makes them the most powerful thing in the world.

I love reaction videos of movies I like. I always ever since I was small wanted my family and friends to share shows and movies I loved and even kind of forced them to turn their head and watch or wake them up not to miss the best part so seeing these people discover those emulate that same childhood feeling in me
However I must share my concern about how so many of them lack general knowledge. I don't mean it a snobbish or disdainful way nor want to rub how I had access to information or whatever ! What I mean is I am legetimately worried so many people had no access to information in 2023 especially for stuff that are very simple and seemed like common knowledge to me I knew in first grade
A reactor to Eris from Sinbad and the Seven Seas wondering why she is evil if gods are supposed to be good and why she interfers so much
A group of reactors to The Hunchback of Notre Dame keeping searching for the Eiffel Tower the whole movie
The same ones not recognizing the seaguls from Finding Nemo as seaguls but supposing they have to be pigeons
A reactor watching Lady and the Tramp and no matter how everybody looks Edwardian assuming it must be the 1950's since it's a 50's movie
A reactor not recognizing the Wall of China and keeping wondering what Asian country it is and realizing it's China only when the soldier says the meme sentence
A reactor keeping mixing up China and Japan for Kung Fu Panda when it comes to names, food and objects
A reactor not knowing almost any piece of music in Fantasia
Again I don't say it a way to look down on them. Just I grew up in a nerd family so we have encyclopedias and we watch documentaries so I suppose not all do, but damn does it worry me and even sadden me a little not all do

To explain Superman's fate in the AU: I really really like the unpublished Golden Age story K Metal from Krypton. Written before kryptonite was introduced, the plot would have been a chunk of Krypton flew over Metropolis as a comet, granting all the humans Kryptonian powers, while ridding Superman of his. Clark would ultimately have to reveal his identity to Lois to deal with the situation. The ramifications of changing the Lois/Clark dynamic to her being upset he kept it secret but being who took care of things when the comet flew by, at this early a stage, would have been amazing but I digress.
Since the AU is supposed to give pre-Crisis vibes, Superman's fate will be a little similar to Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?. His identity was made public, and his body was almost stolen by the Ultra-Humanite, but to prevent that, he allowed Lex Luthor to inject his body with K-Metal. Following this, he takes on the new identity of Jordan Eliot, allowing the world to believe Superman had perished.
Eventually, though, Jordan Eliot discovers that, although he no longer has powers, his Kryptonian organs allow him to focus the radiation of the K-Metal, and grant powers to people around him (controlling which powers he gives, as well). I like the idea of drifter Jordan Eliot making people hero for a day.
Oh, I love this idea! I'm always interested in seeing how people think Superman will end, be that death or retirement or a nebulous third comic-book explanation. The idea that even though Superman is dead he's still making other people heroes in his own way is just wonderful. I always love people leaning into the inspiration/hope part of Superman, the "you inspired me to be a good person/to be a hero" so him literally, physically turning people into heroes for a day is a great continuation of that concept.

Thinking about playing TF2 vs playing it are basically two different animals.
I sit there and think to myself
“Wow it’s such a cool game I love every moment I’ve spend in this game over the last 9 years.”
And then I get on the game and…
Bots.
Some of the most racist and vile humans on the planet.
Furries.
A child who is obviously too young to have internet access.
Some actually chill human beings who are wonderful to be around!
A man trying to mortgage his house with an unusual burning team captain.
Racist Furries.
The most alien individuals who spend an entire match staring at a wall investigating every last PIXEL for lore.
Bots again.
Conga lines that last entire matches.
A spy using the cloak and dagger to sit in a corner across the map plotting his hate crimes against engineer-kind.
The most adorable giant hunk of mann standing out in the open offering sandviches to anyone and everyone.
2Fort enjoyers.
And the last remaining spy crab in all of Team Fortress 2 history.
Team Fortress 2 never change. :)
Except for all the racists and bots they can go die in a fire.

please don't feel bad tho!! i went after the jp og because i know japanese 🥲 tho i am but a student
i thought it was weird too when i saw your post bc i first played the game with portuguese subs and i couldn't remember where the hell masumi apologized to ichi and it turns out it's a eng sub only thing!! super weird that they would make that choice, it kind of mischaracterized him into thinking his son is a burden he needs to apologize for rather than just. regularly feeling bad for making ichi drop everything to help with his son (which is how you read the character!!)
a weird inclusion if it really is an english-subtitle-exclusive phenomena..

I honestly don’t find Harrison Ford charming, like at all. Maybe because the recent interviews I’ve seen of him is generally him being freaking old but there are a LOT of old actors who have life in them. People find the “I don’t care” attitude of Harrison Ford kind of idk breath of fresh air and I’m like no I’d rather hear from an actor passionate about his or her own work, THAT TO ME is a breath of fresh air because to me celebs and actors are more interested in themselves rather than the work their in. It’s crazy how far Ford has gone when his general attitude to me ABOUT EVERYTHING is just “I’m in it for the money.”. It seems those are the types of celebs and actors who actually succeed in the world.
Compare that to Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen... though mostly Hayden, because when Hayden talks about star wars or any of the work he’s in, he’s really invested in the story telling and character he’s playing. He appreciates every one, even the characters that have set his career back. I mean I would think he would resent playing Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader much like how Natalie Portman had come to resent Star Wars and playing Padme, but he isn’t and it’s just so incredible to me. He’s so humble and grateful of the stuff he’s in and never shows this characteristic attitude shown by actors of how they’ve been wronged just because they’ve been in one bad movie that fans and critics have demolished.
Actors have it hard, but Hayden... all he did was buy a farm and move on with his life.
And he still talks about Star Wars, what a honor it was playing Anakin, and how much of a fan he is as well.
Mark Hamill is the same.
Man... Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen are so underrated. I wish we saw more of the them, or that we will anyway. Mostly Hayden anyway. I don’t like how Mark treated Rian Johnson. Mark’s attitude in things with Star Wars seems more aligned with what the fans want, while Hayden seems to respect the creator’s vision while telling fans they can want whatever they want but in the end of the day, art belongs to the person who creates it and what they wanted their art to be. Art is a form of expression by the creator. It’s never about what your fans want, it’s about what you want to bring to the table.
Still both Mark and Hayden are FAR more interesting than Harrison Ford, whose name I just forgot just by talking about Hayden and Mark ONLY because those two can talk about the stuff their in and I’m invested. Ford on the other hand always seems like he just got out of bed and can’t find his thoughts whenever you ask him a question. Maybe it’s old age, idk. But like why in the world to people love actors who are just there for the paycheck?
I mean where’s the passion?
I guess life is just about working for the paycheck and we know actors get a buttload.
Can’t say anything about Ewan. I think Ewan takes his job seriously and he loves Star Wars, I mean he’s the reason Obi-Wan Kenobi became a tv series (even though I feel like the show was unnecessary, I love how it brought back the prequel love and I’m grateful for that.) Ewan is so damn likable, you can’t really say anything negative about the guy. I’m so glad his career has become so diverse over the years. Wish the same was for Hayden, but Hayden has been in some great some and I am sooo gonna bingewatch that shit, once I very very slowly finish some pages on my bullet journal, watch some youtube videos I have open and read some articles too lol.
I also need to start watching some movies on my movie list too.
And clean my room...
