How do you like the mash movie?

I saw the series first, my dad is a fan and we used to watch it together, and was surprised at its more serious tone. Frank Burns also struck me as also a pathetic idiot but in such a different way and also has these evil vibes. Because of you I discovered the books, got them, and im having even more shocks!

i fucking LOVED IT. i was absolutely HOWLING the entire time. my favorite bits were:

the opening where you see the dangling arms of the bodies in the choppers??? oh my god. i was like GASP. the insane blood and gore was awesome and really drove home how petty and wacky everyone's being

hawkeye's stupid tinted glasses and bucket hat <3 sooo 70s.

mulcahy getting immediately ignored the second he's introduced. mulcahy basically acting like a frightened mouse in every scene he has. he is so sad. he's really not cut out for this

frank being introduced as an aggressive bible thumper (very funny contrast to the likeable and shy priest) so him cheating on his wife with margaret, who is also married, is even funnier

radar(!!) being the one who puts the mic under frank and margaret's bed

mulcahy hearing them bang, leaning in bc he thinks it's a radio program he enjoys, and going D: when he Realizes

suicide is painless. holy shit. did you know a 14 y/o wrote the lyrics? his dad said "i needed the lyrics to be extremely stupid, and 14 year old boys are masters of stupidity." mom just learned that and has been telling all her 50-60 y/o friends. also both versions in the movie are sung beautifully (and thus hilariously)

the unbelievable fruitiness of hawkeye and trapper at all points but especially in the golf related scenes

trapper spawning the olives out of nowhere. player.placeatme olivejar 1

bring me the sultry bitch with the fire in her eyes! (dramatic zoom)

RADAR STEALING HENRY'S BLOOD??

hawkeye's entire interaction with painless just SCREAMING "chaotic bisexual who's been out the longest of anyone in the friendgroup and will forcefully yank you out of the closet the second you start questioning"

racists do not get dignified with a response. racists get shoved out of their chair

DON'T LET HIM KISS YOU HAWKEYE!

frank getting carted away in a straitjacket and never seen again

margaret hating the idea of football until the general wants it and suddenly she's a cheerleader with pigtails bc she's completely spineless. god she's so evil in this i LOVE horrible evil women. full agency at being the worst person ever <333 i support women's wrongs and i love watching chicks who are just slow-motion car crashes

"i was thinking we should have some plays, cause yknow, football teams always have plays" "actually i took the liberty of drawing about seven or eight plays for us to try ^_^" "great! ...what do these arrows mean?"

MASH EM! SMASH EM! KILL, KILL, KILL!

OH MY GOD THEY SHOT HIM!!!

hawkeye suddenly not wanting to leave once he's actually able to 🥺

end credits being read over the loudspeaker like the other movie night announcements. so. cute.

okay sorry. good movie. i had fun and cried laughing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I saw this awesome question sheet by @bisexualricks and wanted to throw my hat into the ring!

1. top 5 episodes and why!

The Vat of Acid Episode - It was both a solid character introspection for both Rick & Morty, and also had some really funny moments. Morty flipping Rick off after he had to kiss the vat of acid absolutely sent me

Rest and Ricklaxation - There’s was a lot of funny bits in the episode and is generally pretty good. Also Jessica saying Rick would call her drunk asking about Morty or something is hilarious to me

Ricktional Mortpoon's Rickmas Mortcation - It was a huge turning point for lore but also Rick saying “perfectly fucking vertical.” In an incredulous tone absolutely kills me. Also solid light saber fight

The Rickchurian Mortydate - this entire episode was great from beginning to end. “oh I’ve got pubes, commander-in-queef, y-you wanna count them?” And Ricks rant on the Oval Office was hilarious.

Rickmurai Jack - I absolutely love Evil Morty’s character and the last half of the episode was especially fantastic. The music, EM’s rant “That’s what makes me evil, being sick of him.” Also I absolutely believe EM’s offer to let Morty Prime come with was a genuine offer. The whole “it was a toilet” was just EM trying to save face like he wasn’t kinda hurt.

2. least favorite episode(s) and why!

Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty - The subtext on this episode was mortifying and was just kinda weird and all over the place.

Final DeSmithation - There was a good couple funny bits throughout but again, any funny moments is ruined because we can’t go one season without weird incest plots.

Rickdependence Spray - I feel like this is self explanatory. Jfc Justin what we’re you thinking?

3. Moments that make you insane

“I don’t know this guy, you’re a my grandpa, Rick!” OH MY GODDD

The fact that Morty cares for a family he knows isn’t even technically his.

Mortys voice and expression when he yelled “Your not even in the hole, are you?!” In Fear No Mort because the amount of desperation in his tone nearly killed me

Rick lying to Morty about the Purge candy so he doesn’t realize what he has done. Like Rick absolutely could have told Morty the truth but decided not to.

4. your favorite lines

“oh I’ve got pubes, commander-in-queef, y-you wanna count them?”

“A Vat of Fake Acid, are you dying from dementia??”

“We could be clones, we could holograms, we could be clones controlled by holograms controlled by special remote control headsets the real Rick and Morty are wearing while they’re fucking your mother!”

“Betrayal! Betrayal on all sides!”

“You have a death crystal in your pocket??”

“No, yes, maybe!”

“You little monster, I thought you were masterbating!”

“And you took that in stride??”

“You rather I address it??”

5. Rick head-canons

⁃ Stopped doing any heavy partying after around season 1, not wanted to expose Morty to that, though he’d never admit that out loud

⁃ Is Bilingual, specifically he speaks Spanish. I’m pretty sure he’s canonically Hispanic as well.

⁃ He’s pansexual. He also hasn’t been in a serious relationship in decades. He avoids them after Diane. He did want something serious with BP tho

⁃ When he’s wasted, like emotionally upset and absolutely shit faced he will lock himself in the garage and avoid going near the Smith family

⁃ Sometimes Morty does things that reminds Rick of Prime and it drives him crazy. He will go out of his way to chastise Morty to try to get him to stop the things he can control

⁃ Rick doesn’t heal his battle scars as it’s a way to separate himself from other Ricks in the finite curve

⁃ Rick purposely let the original Prime universe get mutated and made it worse as a last middle finger to Rick Prime. He later felt kinda bad about it, just because he knows what he did is some petty shit Prime would have done.

6. Morty head-canons

⁃ Morty Prime has a lot more physical similars to Rick Prime then he does to Jerry. Most Mortys have brown but Morty Prime has blue eyes, similar to his Rick. His hair more disheveled and a bit more spiked.

- Refuses to drink alcohol most of the time because he’s seen what it’s done to people. However he will do recreational drugs & smoke cigarettes. Often on the roof on his house.

⁃ Morty has a jagged scar around the end of his hand where he had to use the train to cut his hand off. As well as a bit missing from his left ear from a stray gun shot, his nose is crooked from getting broken a lot and he’s missing a tooth.

⁃ He carry’s a blaster in his waistband and one under his pillow just in case. He is in general kinda paranoid

⁃ If Morty has a serious nightmare and/or can’t fall asleep he will sneak into his moms or Ricks alcohol stash and drink until he passes out because it’s the only way to get him to fall back asleep.

⁃ Sometimes Morty will stare at himself in the mirror and try to see if he has any similarities to Rick Prime and will try to change anything he finds. If another Morty refers to him as “Prime” he will bust their head open. Or cry.

⁃ Morty is aware Rick sees him as Rick Prime grandson, and is convinced one day Rick will finish what he started and kill him to. He’d never admit that to Rick

7. Family Head-Canons

Summer

- Is a lot more observant then she gets credit for.

- One of the reasons she started going on adventures with Rick is because she wanted to look out for her brother.

- She nearly cried when Rick told her she reminds him of Diane.

⁃ I could see her as Bi, as she’s flirted with Ethan and the girl from S7.

- She was planning on moving out as soon as she was 18, but lately has been thinking other wise. Her relationship with her family is a lot better then before.

Beth/ Space Beth

⁃ Trash TV is her guilty pleasure, like she says she watches it ironically but no she doesn’t

⁃ Not that great at cooking to be honest, never really got taught how to and can’t be bothered anymore

- is honestly proud of Summer for not ending up like her when Beth was her age

Jerry

⁃ is actually really solid at cooking, and would be a good house husband if he wasn’t kinda lazy.

⁃ Family is genuinely important to him and he honestly would sacrifice everything for them. Rick knows this and can respect Jerry for that

⁃ he’d never say it out loud but sometimes Morty scares him. He’s seemingly the only one to notice how aggressive he’s gotten lately and was mortified when Morty told him about the Tina-Teers thing.

8.Prime head-canons

⁃ He doesn’t regret what he did with Diane, but he did regret letting it get to that point

⁃ He honestly didn’t want to kill his own Morty, and was conflicted seeing him with C-137.

⁃ He was far from thrilled seeing what had become of his planet. He wasn’t necessarily attached to it or anyone in it, however he didn’t want it to end up as a wasteland.

- He’s been keeping tabs with Rick and Morty as was a little surprised with how Rick C-137 hasn’t killed Morty Prime or even really tried to.

- Wasn’t expecting Morty to take after him as much as he has.

9. Evil Morty head-canons

- Was actually bothered when Morty Prime didn’t accept his offer and just lied about it being a toilet seat to save face because he was kinda salty about it

- he’s definitely a clone, not sure what universe he’s based off of and doesn’t care anymore

- EM is lonely as hell and watch’s rom coms to pass the time. He’s not use to getting to live normally and isn’t sure what to do with all that free time

- he chose to use an eye patch because he knows Ricks are scared of pirates

- after the S1 finale, EM started keeping tabs on Rick C-137 and Morty Prime. It was also how he learned about the Prime universe

10. favorite rick and morty pair that ISNT c-137 and prime

Not technically a Rick & Morty pair but the Mortys from the citadel, Left-Handed Morty, Slick Morty, Glasses Morty, and Lizard Morty. The way Slick threw himself into the garbage shoot in a desperate attempt for other Mortys to be better off lives in my head rent free I wish they were still alive.

11. songs that you think relate to them

“This is love” by Air Traffic Controller. This song is such a good way to express Mortys codependency to Rick (not shipping btw you nastys)

#great question sheet op!#had a lot of fun with this one #rick and morty analysis #rick and morty #rick c137 #evil morty #morty prime

Invincible s2e5

It's here, it's here!! Some of my thoughts. Spoilers ahead

"He's never on the hook for the lives he destroys. Just leaves it for everyone else to clean up. Again and again." -> incredible

Brothers eh!! and also Debbie saying mark must get his nobility/reluctance to abandon people from her side ;-)))), especially since this is like one of if not the only time mark is compared to his mum and not his dad. (Whether it's a you're nothing like you're dad, you will be your dad, your dad doesn't influence my view on you)

debbie taking time off work ot look after mark's brother just after they all said they wer so glad she was back :-(( I get that she priortises mark's education though

oop the donald sub plot, forgot about that but now Im hella intrigued again, he a cyberman, though he's the six million dollar man to hear Cecil tell it (we can rebuild him...)

william boxed up mark's stuff.... oof that must have been rough (for william i mean, assuming he's dead)

cecil stfu and stop being a creeper- although if he wasn't like that he wouldn't be cecil, his job is to be a bastard in order to do what he deems necessary

"He's an alien. We're more qualified to take care of him."- very ominous very uncomfortable, glad to see mark isn't having any of it but still. actually ingernal loving mark's convo with cecil

Cecil's little side eye at the end, he's scared ohohoh. and that petty "im sureyour mum will love ooking after her ex's kid" like uh, no but she said she'll do it for mark and otherwise mark will do it so so?

Mark and Amber are cool, and yeah it's nice to see him listening to her problems even if maybe it's revealing that uh... yeah he can't be there for her and that's complicated (as mark said)

Rudy and monster girl is intersing, like i get why she's pissed and i get where he's coming from

DECEASED they all knew he was from mars.Almost disappointed because him desperately trying to be human was hilarious but also this reveal was the funniest fucking thing so, even his reveal felt so unhuman

also how noble and excited the abckstory is until the awkard... so I sort of tried to kill him but I didn't even do that right and now he's coming to earth to kill us all possessed by a hive creature

"No, before, I was lying. Now I'm telling the truth. It's very different." hilarious, might steal that.

Rex, gonna go OOC real quick, then pan to Atom Eve AMV... iconic, I wonder what this could mean /s

Ok I was like, stop commenting on everything but like Rex is a prick but the absolute funniest, saying that maybe Eve's parents WANT her to be abducted because they still haven't fixed her broken window lock killed me

also more seriously actually the familiarity with which they talk and rex moves around eve's room (the l atter would be weird if it weren't so obvious eve could make him stop if she wanted) is great? Because yeah they dated for a while, like they should know each other even if they don't get on anymore and it's great to see the evidence of that Similarly the fact taht Eve reveals at teh end she knew rex just wanted something but that she also does think he genuinely helped her see that she helps people

Man, mark :-( spread too thin, and he's realising it but what is the way out?? Butter spread over too much bread and you can't just put it back in the tin

Shapesmith's intonation and diction and also just his timing of what he says is, mwah, chefs kiss, incredibel

when is the shapesmith show coming, we've already had "Allan"???

was gonna say "nice fight scenes" then kate happened, and i mean they're still good but oh fuck holy shit oh god hog do

.um. well post the homeward guardians fight all I have to say is that it seems that Rex is ranking guardian after all.

Or um, them some cliff hangers amirite, sure do hope everybody is fine

but no did like Rex's last line of the episode and also King lizard's smarmy evil pragmatism ooh very nice.

Hello I'm very new to F1, do you mind explaining the lore behind your chaos manifestation post please

of course!

nico hulkenberg is infamous for never achieving a podium. he's finished 4th on many occasions, and has had i think several pole positions (his first pole was actually very early in his career), fastest laps etc. he's even won le mans, but has somehow always managed to fall out of the podium places. i am a cruel and petty person who thinks it would very funny if he finally got a podium, especially with haas who are apparently still trying to learn how wheels work, and then had that ripped away from him

the enstone based f1 team currently known as alpine (formerly renault, lotus, renault, and benetton) was once run by a hilariously corrupt italian businessman by the name of flavio briatore with flavio's sugar baby fernando alonso and flop nepo baby nelson piquet jr as the drivers. fernando, who had returned to renault (where he won his world championships) after spending a year psychologically torturing ron dennis with a peach and attempting to blackmail him over mclaren's little habit of copying the ferrari car designs, was sad that the 2008 renault was a bit shit, and to cheer him up, flavio decided to fix a race for him so he could win again. back then the teams refuelled the cars during the race, and renault timed it so that fernando refuelled his car a couple of laps before piquet deliberately crashed bringing out the safety car. it ruined most teams' strategies and a number of drivers had their races ruined. although numerous officials knew that renault had fixed the race it did not become public knowledge until the following year

i personally would need a tranquilizer of some sort to work with someone as annoying and frequently incorrect as danica patrick, and judging by the faces jenson made when having to work alongside her at the las vegas gp he is getting quite close to snapping, which i would personally like to see

i believe that lando holds the record for most podiums without a win, and i think that he would be so happy to finally win a race that he would not let a depraved upper class english stag do (bachelor party) separate him from his trophy. once again, i am a terrible person who enjoys others suffering and i think him losing the trophy and all of his facial hair would be funny

king charles has cancer, and george is a known monarchy fucker. given what the teams/british drivers did when queen elizabeth died i think driving the car straight into the barrier is the logical next step to display respect

the monaco mouse is a serial monogamist who seems to exclusively date brunettes who look basically identical and were all friends with each other because monaco only has 30 people under the age of 30. he is also a bride of ferrari in the same way that nuns are considered the brides of christ so if he's going to write a heartbreak song about anyone, it's going to be the car

imo john elkann seems like the latest in a long line of men who are very, very desperate to map lewis' ballsack with their tongue. he also seems like he's never been told no in his life, and if i were lewis i would be giving the dog that i famously love more than any actual person a bodyguard

during the 2023 season there was a rumour that one of the drivers on the grid had got a woman who was not their girlfriend pregnant. idk if it was specifically linked to carlos or if tumblr just used the power of deduction and homosexuality a la HouseMD to conclude that it was him, but either way i thought it would be funny for a man who seems to have cheated on his girlfriend multiple times to claim that he can't be the father of a baby because he's a virgin

fernando alonso has the charisma and self-belief to lead a cult/and or convert a local branch of christianity to worship him as a deity

erotic literature is popular with women, and so is james vowles

Is It Really That Bad?

Phase 4, the first post-Endgame phase of the MCU, has been a bit of a mixed bag for a lot of people, but I don’t honestly think that’s totally on the quality of the films and shows themselves. While there are some real mid films there are some genuinely great entries, ones like Shang Chi, Werewolf by Night, Wakanda Forever, and No Way Home. And even the more lackluster entries still have some genuinely good things to offer; I’m no fan of Eternals or Black Widow, but they definitely have some great aspects that justify them existing. The real issue, I feel, is how quickly Phase 4 was churned out; in nearly two years the amount of MCU entries has almost doubled, and with that much flooding us all at once cracks begin to show and people who were once more charitable towards flaws will become exhausted and stop overlooking them.

That left She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in an incredibly unenviable position, and one that only worsened as it continued to air. I mean, releasing a trailer that has effects that look unfinished at best is bad enough. But to then have to release while reports of VFX artist abuse start pouring out? This show soon became the butt of various jokes, the subject of obnoxious clickbait videos about how the MCU is woke trash, and gave people fuel to contribute to the fire that is the myth of “superhero fatigue.”

The discourse surrounding the show definitely killed my interest for a long while, but in hindsight I shouldn’t have let it do that; as we’ll get into later, the backlash to this has undertones as scummy as the ones that helped tank a certain Joel Schumacher superhero movie. With all that in mind, it’s easy to assume it’s not really that bad… so this time the question is more, “Is this show any good?”

THE GOOD

Unsurprisingly, Tatiana Maslany carries this show on her back. Jen is such a charming, awkward, likable character in her hands, and she sells her every single moment of the show. It would have been really easy to fuck this up considering the distracting CGI sometimes muffles her performance a bit, but Maslany manages to shine through even in the weaker moments.

The expansion of the Hulk mythos is welcome, especially after the characters spent the past three phases on the backburner. The big winner here thanks to this spotlight isn't even Bruce, though; no, it's Emil Blonsky, AKA Abomination, who makes a glorious return as a major character asking Jen to help him get parole. He's just a really hilarious and cheerful guy, long past his villain days, and when he gets out he seems to genuinely be a changed man. Dude even becomes a self-help guru leading a class of other villains in redeeming themselves. It also helps that when he turns into his monster form, the effect is one of the better ones in the show.

The guest star characters are all a lot of fun. Bruce's appearance is a bit of a mess (which I'll get into below), but I don't think seeing Mark Ruffalo is a bad thing even at his worst. Wong is, of course, absolutely fantastic, and even Jen lampshades how much everyone loves the guy. But best of all is when Matt Murdock shows up in the penultimate episode, and gets to crack a few jokes, kick a few asses, and bang Jen like the true Chad that he is. How they managed to make such a cute, believable romance that you can't help but root for in a single episode is absolutely astounding, and considering the shit Jen and Matt go through on a regular basis it’s just so refreshing to see.

While she sadly ends up a bit underutilized, Jameela Jamil's take on She-Hulk archnemesis Titania is a lot of fun. Here, she's imagined as an over-the-top evil influencer (redundant, I know) who just goes out of her way to be a petty bitch to Jen for no good reason. The fact we never learn any backstory about her and the fact she remains as an unrepentant asshole throughout all her appearances makes her a hell of a lot of fun as a bad guy. I wouldn't call her one of the greats like Killmonger or High Evolutionary, but she's still a very enjoyable foe for the type of show this is.

I love how this show isn’t afraid to dig deep into the well of Marvel characters to throw in some obscure faces to spice things up. I think that’s one thing the shows have done consistently well, elevating lesser-known characters into the limelight, so it’s nice to see an entire episode revolve around Leap-Frog of all characters and for the Wrecking Crew to show up and get their shit wrecked. Blonsky’s little villain therapy session is a wealth of D-listers; how many people were aware Man-Bull and Porcupine were a thing before this, let alone that Saracen is a combination of two villains with the same name (one of whom is actually a vampire)? The average person isn’t like me, trolling through wiki articles looking for obscure supervillains to obsess over, so it’s nice to see them get utilized even in a minor way. The only one I can see people bristling at a bit is Mr. Immortal, who is quite the opposite of his comic counterpart, but in my opinion he’s the Great Lake Avenger I’m least bothered that they changed; if it was Flatman, Big Bertha, or (God forbid) Squirrel Girl I’d probably be angrier. At any rate, this show is clearly not afraid to give wacky minor villains a role, so I’m half expecting season 2 to include Jen’s enemy Dr. Bob Doom, the more famous Doom’s distant relative who’s an envious evil dentist who wants to conquer the tri-state area.

The very best thing about this show, beyond cameos and weird characters and whatever else, is just the fact that it’s a very down-to-earth story about a woman who just wants a little bit of control and happiness in her life. Jen’s goals are relatable—she wants to do the job she loves, hang with her friends, and maybe find a nice guy who likes her for who she is—and a lot of the issues she faces as she tries to accomplish these are the sort of things women have to deal with on a regular basis. Obviously these things end up being filtered through a Hulk-green lens, but I’m sure a lot of women can relate to some of Jen’s struggles. Hell, the big bads of the show are incels who make revenge porn of Jen because they don’t think she’s worthy of her skills, and goad her into losing her cool so that she’ll be the one vilified and have her life ruined… It’s pretty obvious but effective, and it makes the moment where she forces the narrative to right itself to give her control in her own story a really great bit of wish-fulfillment.

THE BAD

The first episode is ROUGH. It’s a showcase of the poor special effects that made this show infamous, particularly the “She-Hulk clap” scene, though honestly her entire fight with Bruce is pretty bad. The way she gets her powers is ridiculously contrived and goofy, especially compared to her more lowkey origin in the comics (they really couldn’t have just done a blood transfusion here?). The worst moment of it all, though, is when Jen mansplains controlling your anger to Bruce. You know, the fucking Hulk?

This does end up highlighting a big issue with the Hulk, though it’s not really the show’s fault: Hulk is the major hero the MCU has dropped the ball on the most. A lot of this has to do with the issue with the film rights, as Marvel can’t use him in solo films, but the fact that after Joss Whedon’s movies all of Bruce’s character development happened offscreen between films and all his tragedy and complexity was dropped in favor of making him “big green wacky science guy” is unbelievably lame. It leads to a lot of the moments in this first episode falling flat, especially the ones where Bruce reminisces about Tony. And then there’s Bruce being surprised Jen doesn’t have a different personality as a Hulk, implying to me that Bruce’s tragic backstory and DID are written out (if he had DID he’d know Jen probably wouldn’t get it from a car accident). It’s a shame because Ruffalo is great as the character when he gets the chance to be, but it’s to the point now where I wasn’t sad that he was barely in the show. At least there’s hope for the future given the ending and upcoming movies set to feature Hulk and his supporting cast, so maybe we’ll finally be able to say someone who isn’t a massive creep really gets the Not-So-Jolly Green Giant.

Anyway... I really don't want to harp on the effects too much, but they are pretty subpar. Still, it was around the time these episodes were dropping that the stories of employee abuse and crunch time and all that were coming out, so it's not easy for me to be overly harsh considering the working conditions the VFX artists had to endure. I will say this: The jokes about how expensive the effects were in the final episode feel a little more tasteless in light of that.

Speaking of the final episode, while it's a funny use of a deus ex machina to resolve a ludicrous plotline and while I find it hilarious they lampoon how formulaic Marvel can get, She-Hulk smashing the fourth wall comes a bit out of left field because of how little they really build up her fourth wall-breaking abilities. Like yeah, she addresses the audience at the start and end of her episodes, but because of how episodes are paced it doesn't feel quite as fleshed-out as when Deadpool makes those same sorts of jokes in his movies. I wish they'd spent more time building up to that finale throughout the series, maybe have her do little things here and there beyond just talking to the viewers. It's not the biggest complaint in the world, and it wasn't a dealbreaker, but I didn't find the ending quite as satisfying as it could've been.

Ultimately though, the biggest flaw I think this show has is just that by its very nature it's not going to appeal to everyone. It's a goofy slice of life comedy, and in a franchise known for over-the-top action and adventures the story is very grounded and most of the action that shows up here sucks. It's not something that appeals to the average MCU fan, is what I'm saying, and while that doesn't make it inherently bad (we could use more variety in these films, after all) it does make this a bit of a hard sell.

THE UGLY

It is embarrassing I even have to address this, but unfortunately this was the biggest controversy the show had. You see, there is a post-credit scene where She-Hulk twerks with Megan Thee Stallion. This scene, which is maybe thirty seconds long (with only maybe ten of those being twerking) became the thing people would point at to call the show stupid and awful.

Let me be clear here: This joke is meant to be dumb and cringey. There is literally a shot of Jen’s boss walking away in embarrassment upon seeing this. And beyond that, Jen is a cringey person. That’s why she’s so likable in the first place! So it’s not even like this is out of character.

But ignoring all that, this is literally a post-credit scene, and getting mad at those is lamer than a twerking joke could ever hope to be. And if nothing else it’s still better than that shitty mid-credit scene in Multiverse of Madness.

IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

I have no fucking clue what everyone’s problem with this show is.

Like, okay, I can’t deny this show isn’t for everyone. It has a rocky start, its special effects aren’t the best, and it is different from the rest of the MCU in that it’s just low-stakes slice of life comedy (at the insistence of the main character). The villains are mostly down-to-earth threats that happen to have powers, and the main focus is on comedy arising from the weird situations Jen gets into by being a lawyer who is also a Hulk. But with the amount of sheer vitriol this show’s existence managed to generate, you’d think this show killed someone’s grandma.

I genuinely think this has to be motivated by misogyny. Like this show is perfectly harmless, completely fine, average at worst, and yet it has the single worst score of anything in the MCU. You cannot look me in the eye and tell me this is worse than Thor 2 and 4, Iron Man 2, or even Age of Ultron—and that’s just if we’re looking at the weaker MCU films and not the superhero genre as a whole. The fact that most (but not all) of the criticisms for this show are just really unfounded and show a lack of even the most cursory knowledge about the source material it draws from combined with the fact the final challenge of the show is overcoming a cabal of incel nerds furious at the mere existence of a female superhero (the sort of parody of real life toxicity in comic fandoms these so-called fans constantly bristle at) really just highlights how nerds won’t be beating the misogyny accusations any time soon. I guess women are only okay in Marvel properties when they’re supporting male leads or are viciously murdering scores of innocents so she can sacrifice a teenager to bring her Sims to life.

I’m not usually one to shout “Bigotry!” when something has a low score (the only time I can think of where I linked bigotry to poor reception was with Batman & Robin), but I just really can’t see any other way to comprehend this score being what it is. There is nothing this show does so poorly that it warrants a score anywhere in the 5s, and I’ve gotta believe the score is simply the result of review bombing. Then again, this superhero media dared to show things that women go through in real life via a superhero lens instead of shoehorning in Jesus imagery and having the conflict be resolved by Jen and Titania’s mommies having the same name, so I guess it can’t be that good.

But again, let me stress that disliking this show doesn’t inherently make someone misogynistic. This show has its issues, and even I feel like a lot of the story elements and effects could have been handled a lot better, so it’s not like I’m trying to convince you all this is some unsung masterpiece. If you don’t like this show for a reason that isn’t “I hate women superheroes,” that’s fine! What I’m trying to point out here is that this initial score reeks of malicious intent, and I honestly don’t feel people really gave this show a chance because of the initial low audience scores.

Realistically this show deserves something around 6.6 - 6.9. It’s a solid enough show, but there’s no denying that even in its genre it is an extremely niche entry that’s not going to have the same widespread appeal as some of the other shows. If you can get on board with the concept and can stomach a rough pilot and some weak visual effects, there’s a sweet, amusing story about a woman just trying to live her life here that’s honestly refreshing in a sea of “save the world” plots.

Of course, it could definitely improve with a second season. And the best way to do that? Make Spragg the Living Hill the big bad.

oooh- what about headcanons of what it would be like to have the txt members as your brothers?

TXT members as your brothers.

— txt masterlist | ot5 headcanons | gn!reader

— warnings: language, mention of food, pushing, being ill, (not proofread)

soobin —

soobin doesn't necessarily go out of his way to check on you in the way you think he would

he keeps a close eye on you discretely though

shares clothes with you,,

if any of his stuff goes missing he immediately assumes you have it

likes making a show out of it sometimes to annoy you

but he really doesn't mind because it's how he shows he care lol

the type of brother to order you food when you're not feeling well

but also the type to be like "don't come near me you GERM" when you're sick

he loves you but he values his health

yeonjun —

jun shows his love and appreciation for you by pulling your hats and hoods over your face

beanie? it's covering your face as soon as you walk past him

cap? he's making a game out of how many times he can hit it until you snap

your hood is up? he is pulling the strings, typing them and running out of the room

honestly i think he just likes annoying you

a lot of funny moments,, especially when you two haven't seen each other in a while

i think your chaotic-accident prone energies would build up and just,, explode together

he will definitely like messing with you but of course he loves you

i feel like he would buy you stuff for valentines,, as an act of appreciation

beomgyu —

there's a lot of petty back and forth with gyu as your brother

always teasing each other

and coming up with the meanest, silliest insults

"stupid fish head looking ass" — neither of you even know what this means

the stupidest comebacks ever, like, they're insanely dumb it's hilarious

but it's never that serious,,

if you get in an argument you usually don't talk it out either

usually one of you will take the other out for food as an apology

you also rarely text, most of ypur messages are in some way about food

taehyun —

hyun is the type of brother to enjoy quality time a lot

i mean,, you guys have a scheduled hang out-catch up session every week

he definitely texts you throughout the week to see if you need anything

likes running errands with you!

in general, you talk a lot as siblings

even with some light teasing he always makes sure you're okay

and looks out for you so much, no matter who is older

he does like to joke around with you though, especially while running errands

hueningkai —

this little shit

he likes to make your life miserable and finds it hilarious

the absolute definition of a menace

even though he loves you,, he doesn't say it out right

he shows it through lighthearted (mean) comments

"you look like a wet poodle lol"

he's the type to get into childishly push you off the pavement while you're walking

lets just say that growing up, kai was definitely the cause of you falling

way more than once,, really,, but that's how he shows his love for you

— author's note: i'm sorry this took a couple more days than i anticipated anon but i hope this is okay!! i had fun writing these so thank you for requesting <33

— taglist (open): nobody yet,, feel free to dm me / comment / send an ask to be added to the txt taglist! <3

Oh no, you guys, it's Cavendish

Hold on to your hats everyone. Look who came up next:

So this is going to be a long one. You have been warned. :D

You know that thing where characters which have a complex personality but one or two very strong character quirks sometimes get boiled down to basically just those quirks? I rarely read much Cavendish stuff because it feels like he's hit with this harder than most characters in One Piece.

It's easy to see why. Boy is that self-obsessed pretty-boy side of him VERY prominent. It is a very funny bit most of the time and I get how it's the most memorable part of the guy's character. The assuming people are fans. The apparent obsession with beauty and appearances.

It's good.

But personally, I love his whole European (and especially British/Arthurian) schtick. More than being a vainglorious dude, Cavendish feels to me like a take on the White Knight archtype from mythology. He literally rides in on a white horse, hails from a kingdom whose name is obviously French, has a main motif of roses which are tied in with both British heraldry and the whole concept of courtly love (which also fits, in that women around him are just Catching Feelings every time he walks past, but he never actually does anything more than pay lip service to it and occasionally sign autographs or do favors, as with Luffy). He wields a weapon from a French epic. I mean, come on ... one of his attacks is literally Round Table.

I tend to think of him like the One Piece equivalent of like ... Galahad, the "perfect knight." IIRC Galahad was also sent away from his home, though as a baby and not because all the ladies wanted him to put a ring on it. He rode into Camelot and was like immediate the best knight, good and pure and strong and capable of actually finding the Holy Grail and everybody stood up and clapped, etc.

So let's imagine that's Cavendish -- the "perfect knight" -- but he's not in a grand pseudo-historical epic. He's in One Piece. And what would happen if a perfect knight were being told all the time in a world like One Piece how great he is? He'd absolutely get a hilariously inflated ego. Trying to stay humble in the face of names like the Genius Swordsman? The Pirate Prince? Having your renown quickly spread all across the seas? And all that after being so handsome that your kingdom had to literally kick you out to prevent a national crisis? Of course he feels like the star of the whole thing. Everyone's been telling him for years that he is!

So yeah, play up his vanity and his self-obsession, and his occasional short-sightedness. All of those are great and funny. But also remember that he's also a great knight. He had the guts to tell everyone in the arena to STFU and STFD when they were being shits to Rebecca, even though he couldn't have known for sure it wouldn't lose him the adoration he so craves. He gives his word and keeps it, time and again, even in dangerous situations. He put himself in harm's way to protect people, even some who are strangers or who he even has (petty) reason to hate. He's a strong enough swordsman that he's earned himself an epitaph that make even Marines wary, and while the choreography of Dressrosa is all over the place, he does live up to that epitaph late in the arc.

He's a clown. But he's not just a clown. Even if his clownishness make it easy to forget that sometimes.

(And that's all before we even talk about Hakuba.)

So that's my rant. Have I overthought this? Yes. Is most of this intended? No, probably not. And might I have totally mistook some things? Sure, it's been a while since I was studying all this stuff in school. But that's what happens when one of your faves is a glorified extra. :D

The class dynamics of the Gilmore Girls fandom are so interesting to me. Specifically the way they view teenage Jess compared to adult Rory. There are a lot of people in this fandom who see Jess committing petty crime as a teenager (who was shipped off to another state all by himself) as the worst thing a person can do. But when Rory, an adult, steals a yacht all of a sudden there is empathy and they can understand her motivations. There are people who criticize this decision she made but they don't pin her entire morality to it the way people do with Jess. Is it that we spend more time with Rory? Or that she goes to "good" schools and comes from a "good" family? I have seen people give her more shit for dropping out of Yale than for committing a felony.

they way the town condemns jess for his ‘crimes’ is so funny and tragic at the same time. they have a town meeting about the chalk outline and police tape prank. he steals 500 baseballs which to me is hilarious especially when you consider that dean is probably in the baseball team. he gets in a fight with chuck presby and all we’re told about it is that chuck’s a jerk. oh, and he stole babette’s giant gnome, probably because he was bored and there was nothing to do in town.

the problem is, outside of rory and lorelai’s perception of him, we know nothing about jess. his relationship with dean seems on the surface to just be that he likes rory and doesn’t think she and dean are a good fit. but dean has a lot of red flags that even lorelai ignores. he’s clingy to the point of obsession. he likes the donna reed show. he doesn’t share a lot of the interests rory has. he gets pissed off that she’s prioritising college over him. in front of rory and lorelai, he’s the perfect boyfriend. but we know there’s another side to him, especially when he marries lindsey.

the point i’m trying to make is that jess only seems like a bad guy because it’s lorelai’s perception of him, when in fact, he voluntarily takes rory book-shopping and he buys her books he thinks she’d like and gives her notes in the margin. he gets along with paris, which dean never does by the way, and he seems to be good friends with lane and her band too. you hear them constantly referencing each other in their schedules but you never actually get to see them dating. paris and jess have all of 2 interactions, both where they genuinely seem to get along. he’s polite to emily and if he hadn’t been late or beaked in the eye by a swan, he might have even won her over. he’s smart and sweet and funny and it’s pretty much life that fucks him over. but because you don’t see the other part as visibly, it’s easier to condemn jess as being the guy that gets into fights and pisses off the town and broke rory’s wrist (which btw is not a big deal. it was a hairline fracture on her wrist and lorelai acts like rory lost an arm).

in comparison, rory is a good kid. everyone says it all the time. she’s nice and polite and bound for harvard and she’s a good student and is gonna be a great journalist. you know her potential, you know she makes good intentioned decisions most of the time. she tries to keep the peace between her mom and her grandparents. so ofc you see how she feels like her life is falling apart because her whole life hinges on that one thing she wants to do in her life and she’s struggling with it. it’s seen as a lapse in judgement. she made a mistake but she’s a good kid. she gets that leniency, but jess never does.

Thoughts on fret and coco

...Individually or?

I like Fret! I like how you can never tell how much of his behavior is a ruse, you feel settled in thinking that you know exactly who he is (the Twister's manic pixie dream girl of course) until those few key moments when the mask begins to slip and you realize just how near-indistinguishable his "real" self is from his persona. I especially like the conflict he has with Rindo throughout Week 2. Rindo's an anxious kid who's been thrust unwillingly into a leadership position, so you feel for him when he hesitates to make decisions that very well might be the difference between life and death. But Fret's also just a kid who wants to make it out alive and is stuck watching his leader hum and haw over what he's sure can give them a leg up in the competition. Their passive-aggressiveness that stops just short of a full blow-out feels realistic for a couple of teenagers (who didn't even start off particularly close) stuck in a death game. Fret has some really nice dynamics and I like how he gets his own little Hanekoma-esk arc trying to live up the the person an important role model in his life believed he could be. And I like that he stays silly!! He is God's goofiest little soldier and I love him for it.

Coco on the other hand is a character that I've never been particularly fond of, but for almost exclusively petty reasons lmao. I hate A New Day and everything it alludes to that neo ends up dropping (the fact that Neku and Minamimoto could have been partners is a fact that still GNAWS at my SOUL to this very day) and because she's introduced there (excluding her secret shop in Solo Remix) she kind of ends up becoming symbolic of that for me. I do not like a single writing decision that has been made with her. I hate that in A New Day you're supposed to just accept that "she's always been there" as if the MICROTRANSACTIONS STORE is canon. I hate that apparently she "needs to be connected to Joshua in some way" for anything about A New Day to make sense, I have no idea what that means. I hate that in neo she's pretty much left to wander aimlessly for 85% of the game waiting for her nearly abandoned plot thread to be tied up right before the finale. I think there's a lot to like about her if you look, but personal preference wise I just don't really care enough to bother.

As a duo? Hilarious. Coco's sick to death of Minamimoto refusing to pay back her favour of illegally resurrecting him (technically he didn't ask, just saying) so she kidnaps his favourite zeptogram and holds him for ransom. The stakes have never been higher for Mina. Not because he's particularly worried about Fret (what's Coco gonna do, huh? kill him? he wasn't even dead in the UG) but because he either has to ignore this and possibly get in shit for it later or commit to his half-baked domestication arc and have a custody battle with Coco in the middle of Center Street. Fret is absolutely elated. Mr. Minami is fighting over him? AND Neku's funny Reaper friend bought him ice cream?? This is the highlight of his week. Rindo has already called the cops.

#ask #coco should NOT be responsible for children #mina only TRIED to kill a 15 year old. coco actually succeeded. he's the lesser of two evils here I think #meanwhile fret is just. SO happy #mr.minami cares about him :']] hey why are there so many police sirens all of a sudden #fret #coco

Enha - When they're jealous Pt6

Put your hands together for Kim Sunoo!! Finally, we're onto the Maknae line for this lil series ... I suppose it's a series, yea. So, I hope you're all doing great, requests are open 👀 lechugo

KIM SUNOO

Ddeonu... 💭💭💭

Sunoo to me seems like the kind to get jealous, sure, but only when there's acc a bit of a reason to be

In other words, when YOU ASK FOR IT

😡 Why are you doing this to him, y/n??

Doesn't matter. He knows he'll win back your attention in five seconds

He hands Jake a timer and tries to beat his best 😭

That's another thing that comes to mind about jealous!sunoo... I think he knows he's not gonna lose you, especially to someone like your friend ✨Brayden✨

But still!!! You're his s/o meaning that your attention is also his

Or it's supposed to be, anyway... 🙄

Let me paint you a picture, 🎨

You and Sunoo like being productive together

It lets him know that you two bring out the best in each other... Also the most jealous versions in each other

So you two were cleaning the dorm because it was therapeutic 😌, and it was doing something nice for the members while also spending time together

Which was the whole point 👿

You get a call on your phone 📱and Sunoo's eyebrows raise but he just keeps on cleaning while you excuse yourself

He can admit with an honest heart that it annoys him already, because you two were trying to spend time together and

And

This happens. 😔

But he can bare with it, because it could be your mum for all he knows and it may be of importance

He listens to you as you talk on the phone with it pressed against your ear, hearing what the convo is about and why it's worth interrupting your time together 😐

You say "oh hey, ✨Brayden✨, how are you?"

Sunoo finds that hilarious, because

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHSHSHSH

Because who the fuck is ✨Brayden✨ (🎶is he the other girl? I bet he's dying to date ya, and be your entire -🎶)

And why is he this significant? Why is he worth replying to when you're already talking to your wonderful, adorable, caring, handsome, gorgeous, helpful, idol boyfie?????

Just doesn't make sense 😒

Sunoo is pursing his lips with sass, but keeps quiet as he continues to fold blankets (idk, I never clean shit, so)

When you put the phone down, he doesn't look up at you but waits for you to talk to him first

Yes he loves winning over your undivided attention, but he also wanted to be petty for a moment before diving into it

"Sorry, Sun..." you say sheepishly, putting your phone into your little handbag as if you're... About to go somewhere?

He looks up "What, jagi? Who was that?"

You grimace, but don't stop packing your essentials into your bag

"That was my friend ✨Brayden✨. He's asking me to help decorate his house - he's just moved into the area, and I did promise to help out. Don't continue doing this stuff, I'll do it with you when I get back, it's not fair for you to do it by yourself."

CUTENESS ACTIVATED 👊

"Then... Why don't you just stay, yeobo?"

He clutches into the fluffy blanket with big eyes. Bonus points if the blanket is cute and pink

You tilt your head in slightly frustration, bc this makes you feel even more guilty, but it would be worse to just not help your friend after you offered, surely 🤷‍♀️

"Sorry babe. I'll be as quick as I can - he wants some help with painting the guest bedroom for today, so it shouldn't take long."

"But any time without you feels like forever" He whines, knowing his aegyo beats the cringe he's exerting 🥺

"I know, but I have to leave. Just chill out for a while"

You try to make it sound breezy, hoping to influence him into not thinking it would take long

But that only pushes him further, when you begin to head for the door

This time he follows you like a lost puppy

"But jagiiiii"

His arms interlock around your torso to stop you from catching the door, and he mumbles small sweet nothings to convince you to stay with him

Ngl, very light guilt tripping involved, but we all do that

He rocks you both around, and makes sure your attention is on him when he waddles you both back to the bedroom

"The members will be back soon. Do you want to make them happy, or Nathan?"

"It's ✨Bra-"

"I know."

The little sass is seeping out, and he covers up the snarkiness and disrespect towards your friend by planting little fluttery kisses on your arms

"Pleeeeease. I can't stay here without you. I miss having you near me."

You find it Lowkey cute but in an irritating way ❤️ boyfriend Sunoo needs attention, and you aren't opposed to giving it to him

"Aw, you're so dramatic. But what about-"

"✨Brayden✨ has two arms, he can do it himself,, babe. Don't make his problems your own."

You both end up watching Frozen 1 and 2 in the unfinished bedroom, cuddled up in that fluffy blanket that was never folded properly 😔

That's right. The main character is the blanket.

And so the pink, cutesy blanket was never truly folded. The end. 😢

Aaaaaand there it is. THE MAKNAE LINE BEGINS 😎 featuring fluffy, pink, cute blanket. Hope that was okay, I was doing this whole being distracted by my lil sister 😑😑😑 you can probably tell. Anyways, like I said, req are open and I hope y'all enjoy

Bye bye <3

How do you feel about luka, juleka, kagami, nathaniel, marc, and rose?

Disapprovingly Neutral to Annoyed by their forced relevance. I think the extra characters are, overall, unnecessary and a waste of time that's better spent on already-existing characters. the only one I feel actually contributed anything of substance was Kagami.

Of the set, Kagami is the most narratively interesting due to her impact on both Marinette AND Adrien, but the REASON she is interesting (to be Adrien's angst machine and to cheat on her as a vehicle to "prove how much chat loves ladybug" and as petty boy problems on marinette's part) fucking sucks. Also, the racism and stereotypes pasted onto her and her family is fucking lame. Boo. Get help.

Julerose and Marcthaniel literally exist to be queerbait and filler characters. Especially frustrating that they're boring and a waste of time. Annoying that Rose is the stupid blonde stereotype when we have Adrien.

Luka being Ninos narrative replacement wouldn't have stung so bad if Luka wasn't the most boring, pasty white fuckboy. (strums a guitar, i'll never stop loving you biiiiitch) Him being Jagged's kid is also a FUCKING STUPID plot twist for twist's sake that only serves to fuck up Jagged's rep and to be angst fuel for Marinette. Also what the fuck season 4. He breaks up with her over being unable to tell the truth (these truths and lies morals SUCK by the way, and are BAD and TOXIC fuck this shit UGH) FINDS OUT ANYWAY, and then FAILS to let Marinette know after he finds out a secret that LITERALLY could DESTROY THE WORLD. Goddamn. and they way they write him outta s5 is fucking hilarious. RIP to lukanette stans, it was broken from the beginning.

#Luka Salt #digit's miraculous tag #im not really salty about the others tho so im not tagging

I’m in no rush for the next books bc if she wrote ACOSF that shitty who knows what else she’ll write from other character POV’s. I can see her just turning every single fan group against eachother eventually, Like imagine if Elain argues with Rhys or Feysand over Rhys telling Az not to pursue her just yet? I could possibly no longer like her over something like that & it’s why I hope it doesn’t happen bc i’m trying to give her a chance. Or if Az keeps being annoying & reckless disobeying understandable orders? He may get on my last nerve. I’ve had it with people in the family acting up bc Feyre started a new family to get away from BS didn’t she SJM? Or if Lucien gets a POV excusing how he treated Feyre shitty or mocking or villainizing Feyre & The IC like Nesta did? If I catch Vassa talking shit since she’s already done off as annoying in Acowar & since we know Lucien is keeping information from Feysand since they said “He’s basically loyal to them now” Or Lucien still riding Tamlins too despite him being Feyre’s abuser….

There’s SO many ways these new POV’s can piss me off so I don’t mind waiting either. I even hope Bryce’s POV of them all isn’t shallow petty or annoying since even tho she’s sweet…She’s annoying to me in CC. She’s the one SJM heroine I’m not all that impressed with but I’m hoping I like her more in CC3..She’s making it seem like Bryce is unhappy there in the book synopsis already which I get bc she’s going thru it but also…SJM..Don’t piss IC fans off once again. ACOSF was the last straw for me next time..I will not hesitate to call her out for petty writing decisions.

I just….don’t fully trust this author at all with how ditzy & careless she can seem with recent books and how bad that damn rite was or how she barely fleshed out Cassian, or how it’s over sexualized or how the plot climax was underwhelming & ass or how Cass seemed rude to the IC at certain parts w always doubting and questioning every move they made even if they made sense, or how she made Nesta seem all close with Rhys when we all know Rhys would be sweeter but not THAT extra miss girl... Or the “Hehe I thought it’d be fun for Az Nesta and Cass to have a threesome & I couldn’t put it bc my editor 🫤🤭” Like girl stfu I’m so sorry to say this but..why would that have made ANY sense? Tacky..”Let me self insert into Nesta for a Bat bot threesome fantasy the younger sister and friend may have a crush on” ……..CRICKETS. Barely trained having Az say they were trained enough to make it against ILLYRIANS…

Every day I understand more & More why authors don’t interact with her much or if she does have drama among other authors bc If I read that book as an author I wouldn’t be able to take her writing seriously. Feyre got blessed with her series bc these spin-offs are embarrassing kinda…Feyre’s books only lacked in showing us her power or more of Rhys’ power..Or that she shoved her sisters drama back into her NEW life.

Anyway Rant over I love ur acc ❤️

Sjm being so reckless with this series that people no longer trusting her to do right by it is so hilarious to me. Like she needs to tap into whatever she was on when she wrote acomaf and get to work. My biggest fear is waiting years for this book just for it to be complete trash.

And I agree the way Mass’ writing (when it comes to acotar) has regressed since the main series, especially acomaf, is staggering. The issues with Feyre books are more minor or little annoying things while the issues with acosf are…insane. The excuses the main characters makes for her own behavior, ignoring plot lines in prior books, throwing in details that directly goes against what was said in prior books, the lackluster romance that seemed so much better when it was seen from the pov of someone else. I just wonder if when sjm’s editors were reading acosf for the first time, they ignored everything that was blatantly wrong with it because “oh smut🤩”.

Honestly I don’t think it would happen but if Elain and Azriel do end up I’m some drama with Feysand I’m siding with Feysand idc.

And I haven’t started CC yet. I’ve seen a few spoilers but I can’t really judge Bryce’s personality right now.

My thoughts on the Gundam: Witch from Mercury Episode 0/1

most g-witch haters: hating on lesbians

me, a g-witch disliker: intensely critical of gundam releases since iron blooded orphans (the pinnacle of all mid) and disappointed in the disparity between a baby killing soldiers in the prologue and finding out "oh they actually settle debates at school with gundam fights xD", the latter of which, being, just barely removed from gundam build fighters just with some added terrorism and war in the backdrop is extremely disappointing

all im saying is, if the school setting is like 95% of this show you can unfollow cause i will slander it every week just as hard as i have tokyo revengers. for me, it's not even about that its set in school, code geass is too and they still managed to have some sick as fuck moments and its the same writer, but i do not trust any gundam AU to be good because IBO was fine in the first half but became complete dogshit by the end of the 2 seasons (50 episodes) and this show only has 25 so I don't want to waste my time if it is mostly set in school

it did not go over my head that it's basically utena, the author wrote some of the novels for that franchise

But I am relatively disappointed with the jump from the serious space politics in the prologue to the military school juvenile drama of Episode 1 and the MC being in a lesbian romance doesn't really change the quality of writing for me. Happy for y'all but it was pretty disappointing to see the tone change up, and if it remains a story about what was relatively petty at school (granted Guel is a fucking dickhead, but you'd have to be watching w your eyes closed not to be able to glean that much)

As far as having a lesbian main character in a major mecha franchise that isn't a new one, that's all well and good, I'm happy for that since Tomino originally said something akin to only Fujoshi really understand what gundam is about, and I don't think he meant that there's romantic subtext in the most explicit sense but detected aspects of their character that people who didn't try to pair characters together couldn't see as clearly as the shippers did (which is hilarious since no creator would ever say this now). Now in G-Witch there's overt context which you would have to willfully be ignorant to ignore the setup for, especially when they recreated shot for shot entire scenes and tropes from Utena.

Still, I don't really care who ends up with who in the majority of things I watch, so the tone jump between the prologue and episode 1 really pissed me off.

I've seen Code Geass, and this whole school shit better be a smokescreen, cause if we have to unironically watch student duels for the next 10 episodes I'm reducing this series into the ground bro you're gonna have to block me to avoid the slander

I'm kinda just tired of everything that isn't part of the UC, or 00 being dog shit

IBO was bad, build series is cool in a cool robot kind of way but it's really annoying me that the writing is this piss poor for a pilot episode

This is another long one, so it’s also going under a cut.

Re: Jared stans vs hellers and hellers still being worse than Jared stans.

Just recently I saw some idiotic Jared stan tag all their posts with "hope his career crashes and burns" for no reason except the completely normal, typical J2 style jokes Jensen made at JIB and another one saying Jensen should have been killed by the bullet in Rust instead of Halyna Hutchins (!). Also seen some say that Jensen needs to be "punished" for what he did to Jared and that they want to "see him suffer".

The Rust one has been mentioned, yes, which is at that level of extreme psycho the hellers regularly do, but it was one person and immediately reported - including by other Jared stans. The others are, again, crazypants, but comparatively? Tagging random tumblr posts is not on the same level of trying to organize a boycott and downvote campaign - no matter how futile. Vague mentions buried on tumblr of wanting to see Jensen suffer is not on the same level of @ing Jared to say he needs to die. Neither is on a level that I think is remotely good or, y’know entirely sane, fan behavior? But whether or not they’re on an equal level is a slightly different question.

I also see them frequently make absurd (and offensive) claims that Jensen is abusive to Jared, that Jensen is a terrible father, that he cheats on Danneel (and also a lot of way over the top, ridiculous hatred for Danneel in general), that the twins aren't his and that he neglects them/only really cares about JJ etc. Also some stupidly petty and hilariously conceited shit like Jensen and his family being low IQ, him being unable to manage his career and PR (because obviously random Tumblr idiots #249 and #461 know so much better than he himself about how to handle his career and PR). And that's just off the top of my head right now.

All of which sounds pretty damn deranged and psycho to me.

I’m not trying to assert those claims are not gross, projective, and fairly deranged. I agree they are pretty much on the level with baseline heller nonsense. I’ve definitely seen hellers claim Jared is abusing Jensen, that Jared is an awful father including commentary about how Odette should have been aborted, various insults to Gen about her looks/career/blog, that Jared had to bribe people to create Walker because no one else would hire him, etc. There are a few specifics against Jensen that don’t have direct analogues to hits on Jared, but the opposite is also true. (Though I do admit the career and PR ones are just hilarious to me, like I don’t even get mad, for that exact reason. Oh yes, someone who has nothing better to do than sit on tumblr all day definitely has a better idea of how to manage a successful acting career than Jensen!)

I think the only real difference between hellers and Jared stans is that hellers are more heavily represented (not to mention louder) on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, so statistically speaking, you're gonna see more psychos/insanity from them just based on numbers alone. Also, they tend to skew much younger than Jared stans, so they're often especially over-zealous in their stupidity.

But if all other factors were equal (same numbers etc), I think there would be virtually no difference between Jared stans and hellers, they are all equally awful as far as I'm concerned.

I’m not telling you how to feel, but I still see a distinction. Posting those super offensive suggestions of harm and death on a platform where the actors have accounts and @ing it direct to them is just on a different level to me. When it comes down to it, what I see is one side making a regular habit of crossing that line while it still rarely goes that far on the other. Whether it’s a matter of sheer volume or any genuine greater feeling of restraint overall that creates that distinction? Is again, I think, a slightly different question than whether one exists.
