#even with previous actors

[sophfandoms53]

Okay, I’m not entirely sure if this has already been pointed out but did anyone else notice the name of April’s University?

I see what you did there rise crew.

#little Easter eggs like this to the og creators always make me happy #i just think it’s neat #2012 did it from time to time #even with previous actors #the James Avery and Pat Fraly Easter eggs in the crossover arc is such a favorite of mine #i love little details like this #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt movie

Not to sound like a total nitpicky clown on main but lowkey think I could write the warship scene way better than whatever the Marcy bible made it to be

#don't get me wrong the pirates of penzance reference was pretty solid #but the pirates being actors might be the biggest buzzkill I've ever had #even if it's the typical amphibia comedy™ #would've been solid if the pirates were inforced by the previous chief ranger to hunt the night guard so that it actually makes sense #with the plotline of the book #maybe Marcy still let them out of death penalty bc of her main character syndrome™ and then there's actual consequences #it's my own problem expecting too much lmao but consider. I'm passionate #and it's like 4 am #so take this for a grain of salt #maybe I'd even write it #amphibia #rant (?) #marcy's journal #text post

so i may be deranged. that’s it i’m deranged basically this is what i want from the ending of the 60th anniversary and the introduction of ncuti gatwa’s doctor

so this is just something that has been cooking in my brain for a while, not an actual “THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BEAT FOR BEAT AND IF IT DOESNT I WILL KMS” kind of theory, with no actual evidence, so don’t take it too seriously it’s just something i would like to see :)

btw i’m going to be referring to ncuti’s doctor as 15 and tennant’s new doctor as 14

so the cliffhanger at the end of the second episode is ncuti’s 15th doctor showing up, in costume, perfectly compus-mentus, right in front of the 14th doctor.

turns out he’s actually there with ruby sunday, who’s been travelling with him for a while, as they are visibly comfortable and familiar with each other (advertising their dynamic to get people watching season 14). he is the next incarnation of the doctor, come back in time to help himself (they would have to come up with some reason to break the “don’t go back on your personal timeline” rule, but that’s not that hard lmao).

they stop the threat, save the day, chat and bicker, etc etc. i can’t say anything about how because obviously i have no clue what’s actually going on in the specials, but bottom line is 14 says goodbye to donna and co, dies, and regenerates, hence why we get ncuti in 14’s clothes looking confused.

as per usual, his memories are all fucked up, he’s confused and doesn’t really know what’s going on. ruby and the older version of 15 take him back to his tardis, and tell him to take a nap or something and chill out, before going back to their own tardis and leaving.

i think it would be really fun if ruby gave him a piece of paper with the time and place that they meet on it, creating a fun bootstrap paradox and already giving the doctor and ruby an interesting timey-wimey relationship. it would also be cool if either ruby or the older 15 tell him something really cryptic and prophetic to tease season 14.

we get a scene of ruby and older 15 back in their tardis, leaving, before cutting back to a more grounded and less confused young 15, in his tardis with all of his memories back.

now you have to bear with me here because i am a doctorrose idiot through and through but hey it’s the 60th and rtd is back so let me dream ok?

so basically young 15 is hanging out in his tardis, maybe having just gone to get whatever food he was craving or something, and then he hears a familiar voice. he turns around with a shocked and sad face, and sees rose, now many years older, standing in front of him. through her work at unit, she figured out how to do something similar to what she does in season 4 and project herself into our universe. queue absolutely gut-wrenching conversation, ending in rose saying she wants to know everything about what she has missed.

the camera pulls out and begins to spin slowly around the tardis as the two of them talk. only every time the tardis console obscures them from view, they re-emerge as a different doctor talking to rose, going back through 13, 12, 11, 10, and finally, 9, talking to a smiling young rose dressed exactly as she was the first time she met the doctor way back in 2005. cut to black everyone is sat on their sofas sobbing and throwing up the end :)

#doctor who #dr who #new who #nuwho #dw #doctor who 60th anniversary #doctor who series 14 #ruby sunday #14th doctor #15th doctor #rose tyler #tenrose #ninerose #i thought of the last bit because of the fact that they were using drones to film inside the tardis #also they wouldn’t even need previous doctor actors! #just have music playing over it so their voices are obscured (and either get them to record short audio clips or use pre existing footage #and then have body doubles #and position them so that you never see their faces #idk man ik it’s a bit fanfic-y but i just think to have a bittersweet and unexpected rose cameo to bring in rtd’s new era would be amazing #and then we never see her again because i agree that rtd constantly referencing his own era would get really annoying really quickly #(even though it’s by far the best one and no my opinion on that will never ever change)

i do think the jealousy in school reunion is really interesting i think thats a really fun part of the doctor companion dynamic to explore, what makes me roll my eyes is the we're both in love with him "the missus and the ex" thing

but like the jealousy thing on its own? just the flipside of the making people feel special thing that we explored a bit with 12. the doctor does single people out, does make them feel special, their attention is like a fucking spotlight who would be immune to that warmth

but the other side of that then is like, was it their attention that made me special? was it their companionship that made me special? thinking of donna going travelling "it's all bus trips and guidebooks and dont drink the water and two weeks later youre back home" like sure thats comparing what the trips are like but like, that also describes sort of like, who you get to be on those trips right? a tourist vs a hero

thinking of yaz in combat magicks being like "yaz liked wearing her uniform because it marked her out as someone who belonged anywhere. ready to help, and with the right to intervene. the doctor just breezed in and made the whole universe her business, like she was born to it, and yaz longed for that confidence." thats sort of what being the doctor's plus one gives you, right? access to everywhere, without consequences, except maybe your own death but the doctor makes you feel invincible too so you dont worry about that

so sure there would be jealousy but i think making it into an ex-girlfriend kinda jealousy flattens it? "in amongst 7 billion theres someone like you" and then you get to save planets. you become a part of the doctor's hero complex. you get to see beautiful amazing things but you also get to prove yourself a hero every day. thinking of rose "the doctor showed me a better way of living your life. you dont just give up. you have the guts to do whats right when everyone else just runs away" you get to feel powerful. you get a lot of agency where in your daily life you probably dont have a lot. thats what the doctor gives to those handful of the seven billion. so what if they take it away?

thinking of clara asking "why me?" and sarah jane "did i do something wrong?" why did i get this opportunity. and why was it taken away. was it anything i did? and if it wasnt, then doesnt that undermine all that agency you made me feel like i had? can i do this on my own too? and of course lots of companions prove they can, they dont need the doctor to be who they are but idk. i think it would still be kinda insecure-making when youre still with the doctor. when youre still in the middle of it like rose in school reunion. when you dont know yet what After will look like

and this is something the fam doesnt have to deal with i think. because they came to the doctor. they werent picked, they werent offered, they asked. they dont have to wonder 'why did you pick me'. which im kinda relieved about especially thinking about yaz? imagine having to wonder 'was i a friend of convenience' on top of everything else. oof.

and another thing is that of course for the doctor the rejection hurts just as much. when a companion says no thank you, your way of life doesnt seem that fun to me (anymore)

anyway so uh tldr i guess the jealousy thing is interesting but making it a romantic jealousy is not whats interesting about it

#sorry to make you read 600 words and then have no conclusion #started typing and hoped i'd find a point somewhere but i didnt #i think i just laid out all my most unflattering sides without really making a point in this #so #rip #i think actually what ex-companion jealousy would be more like than romantic jealousy is sorta like #old doctor actors jealousy #i mean all old doctors ive ever heard talk about it have been VERY generous and gracious but #theres also i think david tennant said once about filming regeneration that like #one moment youre the most important person in the room. or FEEL like that anyway #and the next EVERYONES attention is on the next guy and people are just like okay thanks bye #i mean im sure people are not that cold waving off an old doctor but like #i can imagine. one moment youre The Guy. the next youre... not #one moment youre The Doctor's Companion. the next it's this new girl??? hello?? #thats MY spot thank you very much #at least when youve been the doctor to all us dw fans youre forever the doctor #that doesnt go away #but if you were a companion and then you go back home. nobody even fucking knows #youre just. normal. nothing special. nobody knows of the things youve seen and done #yeah i'd be jealous. but not of the doctor's previous 50 girlfriends #just of the next 50 fgkfhjdghjfkdgh #solution is to take them down with me of course #none of clara's 'youre not dying with me die with the next one' nonono youre dying with me sweetheart #like i said. my most unflattering sides fhgkhgjh

the impact that wylan and jesper have on me. when they show up onscreen during shadow and bone my friend and i clutch each other like teenage girls at a harry styles concert

#they just. UGH #i lovr them so so so much #i was going through all my old saved soc edits and the NOSTALGIA that hit me #oh the days before we even knew netflix was gonna pick up the books and adapt it… #OR WHEN WE HAD ONLY GOTTEN THE CASTING DECISIONS AND NO OTHER BTS FOOTAGE #SO ALL OF THE SOC EDITORS WERE USING FOOTAGE OF THE ACTORS’ PREVIOUS WORK #AAAAAUUUGH #shadow and bone #six of crows

christ alive what an episode though

#overall i'm REALLY happy #but the bigeneration was a bad move and unless they come back to that and have 14 regenerate properly and/or fuse back into 15 i'm like #never gonna be happy abt that aspect #it's also just a bad LOOK. ur first (main timeline) black dr and ur just... gonna make his first scene all about the previous dr? #when the previous dr's actor has already had not one but TWO initial just-regenerated scenes?? #like... why would you do that #the regeneration scene up TO the regeneration is for the outgoing dr #everything AFTER the regeneration should be all about the INCOMING dr. it's their introduction! it's a BIG DEAL! #and absolutely none of that was about gatwa's dr ALL of the emotional focus was on tennant's dr #not to say gatwa didn't shine! absolutely he did! but the scene wasnt about him. it was entirely abt tennant dr's emotional & narrative arc #AND. even that aside. it's just stupid to have 2 drs and 2 tardises #and it's ABSURD to just keep cloning the dr as a form of emotional resolution. rtd has done it TWICE now. what are they a LIZARD #if you want the dr in 2 places at once theres an easy mechanic for that. its a show about time travel. the solution is obvious #and also like. one of the central themes of the show is change & renewal what the FUCK are u doing. thats NOT change OR renewal #anyway uh. to conclude. bigeneration bad #HOWEVER. gatwa and tennant together in those scenes. INCREDIBLY good #it isnt the end result i dislike it's the method #also i am very excited for gatwa i love his dr so much already #dw spoilers #dr who

Although it is true that some actors just do BL to make easy money and fame, it's actually really funny to see people blaming mostly the actors from the oldest BLs of that, you know the BLs from the time where the budget was so small that it looked like a high school student video project

#i mean yeah they don't personally have the best atitudes #but they accept to make gay character when there was mostly almost nothing ti gain from it #not forgiving homophobic remarks #but also i see that a lot of these actor grow and learned more about the community #sotus #make it right #puppy honey #dark blue kiss #together with me #offgun #love sick #and yeah i do understand the acting was kinda off and many moments because not all actor seemed comfortable? #feel free to disagree with me #2moons #i would say mostly starting from 2017/2018 it was really that lucrative #people saw how much money and success previous actors got #2017 2018 2019 and 2020 you have more actors that used bl as step stone and then never again #now the last years that we are seeing people sticking to bl and even famous actors doind some bl or another

[glitchlight]

the truest unpopular opinion: voice acting is nothing but a cash sink for indie games and rarely adds anything substantive* when a kludged together in an afternoon bit of simlish or gibberish buzzing noise works just as well and is more interesting and costs a lot less

exception being obviously accessibility concerns for those whose vision may have trouble picking out text

#literally two out of my five favorite indie games ever have voice acting #hades is different: they're using professional voice actors to tell an emotionally complex narrative rich story #and also provide callouts in a tense action game #and supergiant's track record with even their immediately previous game pyre indicates they can #and will make a game without heavy voice acting if it suits the time #and crypt of the necrodancer has bad bad voice acting but it's kinda cute idk #outside the cutscenes it's really just callouts for skills again #celeste and hollow knight both use 'whoever's in the office does some gibberish' #and obvs ut/dr has idiosyncratic voice grunting #which bug fables does as well i forget to mention it obviously dear to my heart #voice acting is a tool in the making of games but i feel like it's a surprisingly common problem #that indie games mistake voice acting for a sign of quality #listen bloodstained is mid and the voice acting is just okay #i'm sorry to say that but at least inticreates is making a decent nes castlevania reboot series out of it lol

sharon's unceremoniously trashed white suit tfatws concept art being hastily pasted into that comic con poster doesn't mean anything for her re: CA4. they're just using sharon to disguise their pathetic lack of female representation, as usual. the same thing they did during promo for tfatws before it came out (expectation: she's an important heroic character who eventually fights alongside sam and bucky. reality: she's a minimal-screentime plot device masquerading as an incompetent villain in a show with no female lead.). they have no qualms with false advertising if the perceived aura of girlboss feminism gives shareholders the warm and fuzzies.

because of this stupid design choice she's become a visible target for fandom attacks and cruelty, for the millionth time. it's like no matter how many years pass these creeps never let up, even though they got what they wanted. and it would all be endurable if WE ever got even a single thing we wanted and evc deserved.

it's not that they CAN'T treat sharon right, it's that they WON'T.

#anti mcu #sharon carter #emily vancamp #anti-mcu #remember in the face of negative reception feige proudly praised the pb garbage? #yeah we're screwed for life unless he gets amnesia #or the mcu sharon fandom suddenly grows exponentially enough to drown out the extremely loud antis on almost every avenue of social media #the best we can hope for is that she just never appears again so that we don't have to watch her burn down king's landing #they've had the opportunity to give sharon her due repeatedly for years and years now #and look at the culmination of all their allegedly herculean efforts #the mcu's religious adherence to their One Woman At A Time policy causes unfortunate image gaffes like this from time to time #whenever sj was unavailable for promo during the previous CA films then evc would be swapped in to appear at events or talk shows #even tptb had enough self awareness to realize that their packs of male actors needed to be offset by at least one female #lest the general public get the right idea about the mcu's business purpose #boy dollars #everything is about boy dollars #revenge wasn't male gazey and evc wasn't sexualized #so even though she was perfect for sharon she was completely unsuitable for the mcu #a magical place where redditors routinely say the black widow solo film is the worst of all natasha's appearances on film #they wax poetic about her acting #but it's really just because her vacuum sealed derriere didn't conspicuously graze the camera lens every 14 minutes #don't worry though #they will graciously tolerate the next mcu sharon when she's inevitably recast with the latest 20-something sexpot du jour #like feige originally wanted in the first place #or at least they'll pretend to tolerate her until she gets thrown off a cliff or becomes a mother or gets replaced with a younger model

i love useless special interests! for example i realized recently that voice actors/voice acting is one of my lifelong special interests and i LOVE when i hear a narration in an ad that sounds like just a generic Narrator Voice but i immediately know (or at least have a suspicion of) who it is. the key bank ad on hulu came on and i almost immediately recognized the narrator as katey sagal (tbf im obsessed with futurama but i actually didn't clock her until a specific inflection change halfway into the ad and i suddenly heard leela and peggy bundy talking at me). recently there was an apple watch ad that had ty burrell. and another one, i don't remember what the ad was for (possibly metro pcs?), that i'm 99% sure was retta. my ears prick up like a dog when i recognize a voice. i will likely never have any actual productive use for this knowledge other than creeping out my friends but i like having it anyway

#ads are evil but i am allowed to find some joy. #mia.txt #im annoying to watch cartoons with bc i have to interrupt every few minutes to provide background on specific voice actors #and list several of their different roles in other shows #'li'l gideon is voiced by thurop van orman who is the creator of the misadventures of flapjack as well as the voice of flapjack. captain #k'nuckles is voiced by bill murray's brother brian doyle murray. he played the boss in christmas vacation as well as a ton of other roles #bubbie the whale is voiced by roz ryan who played among other roles the muse thalia in hercules. the voice of megara in that movie #was susan egan who played lin in spirited away! chihiro was voiced by daveigh chase who played lilo amd haku was james marsden #who has been the voice of max goof since 1995 and many other roles. and also li'l gideon's dad is played by stephen root who #played bill dauterive in king of the hill as well as lots of secondary characters. sorry you can unpause it now' #< me very recently #it had been a while since i did that and it felt so good. the previous voice actor infodump i committed was in response to a carvana ad #featuring rob corddry and brian huskey #bc then i had to start talking about bobs burgers and also about fallout new vegas bc rob corddry had a minor role in it #another example: i was watching a ride through video of the E.T. ride at universal studios and recognized billy west as one of the cops #tbf he was doing the zapp brannigan voice so its Intermediate Level recognition at best 😔 smh #CORRECTION BTW I MEAN JASON MARSDEN NOT JAMES MARSDEN!!! FUCK LIFE FUCK EVERYTHING I HATE BEING ALIVE #what sucks even worse is that i googled to double check the year on that fact just to be safe and i STILL TYPED THE WRONG NAME

[reallyhardy]

i'm just SO curious now to know what they're doing for set and costumes i can't wait to see

#loren talks #i mean. louis is the same height as the actors portraying legolas and aragorn so i think it'd be kinda cool if they #went for something REALLY different to the movie look or even the original west end #no idea what they WOULD do but. so excited to see #there's not currently a costume designer listed under creatives on the website so i can't even check their previous work #but honestly i wouldn't be mad at a very modern look visually. like uh. ngl like gingerhaze's broship fanart from years ago :')

i'm so bugged by many things in hdm3 but the pacing threw me off, they were Rushing through the first half but the last two episodes dragged for so long

#also asriel got a much bigger role and we couldn't properly discover the mulefa and their world #ik you can't adapt everything but it was important to the story it wouldn't have hurt to add 2 more episodes #we couldn't even see the giant swan boat thingies #i didn't like season 3 as much as the previous two but it was still good yk #mostly thanks to the wonderful actors #his dark materials #hdm #hdm spoilers

Oh God why does he sound like that lmaooo

#kept seeing clips of Cybertron soundwave so im giving this show a chance #and oh god why do they ALL sound like that!! #why did they get rid of Brent Miller!!! 😭😭 #why is jetfire Australian???? why is megatron's voice so deep despite it being the same guy???? #why does thundercracker sound like a stereotypical redneck??? #where is demolisher???? #WHERE IS CYCLONUS/SNOW CAT???? WHERE IS HIS INCESSANT YODELING!!???? #why does megatron's voice go from super deep to how it was the last two series to weirdly deep depending on the scene??? #i guess i'm glad the minicons sre back???? even if they talk now instead of beeping?? #so far only optimus and starscream consistently sound like they did in the previous series #new hot shot va is at least trying to sound like prev hot shot at least #ah geez just everything abt this so far. hoo boy. cannot stop laughing #rip in peperoni snow cat and demolisher. you are missed 😔🙏 #kake scraps #wow i am having some thoughts huh #WHY DOES RED ALERT HAVE A DIFFERENT ACCENT EVEN THO ITS LITERALLY THE SAME VOICE ACTOR??????

paxton hall-yoshida really looked like a Grown Ass Man this season. he was giving Grease levels of “how do you do fellow kids?”

#i had to skip through most of the devi/paxton romance scenes because she just looks so young compared to him #that eleven year age gap between the actors is not my favorite #a shout into the void #i still found a lot of this season of nhie funny but it felt very messy and scattershot compared to the previous seasons #it also seemed like either a) some of the actors weren't available for some of the filming #or b) they had no clue what to do with kamala and aneesa and even fabiola at some points #none of the girls really got to have plots together? #they just had their romances and debriefed each other at random points in the episodes #i still think john mcenroe narrating the series is the funniest choice any comedy show has ever made tho #if no one's got me i know tennis legend and world's angriest man john mcenroe narrating the struggles of a teenage girl's got me

#ik i sound like a boomer or a gatekeeper or whatever i just. hate the entire concept of these so fucking much #and i hate being scared to bitch about it and how creatively bankrupt they are bc some of my friends like them a lot #just like im scared to complain about how annoying the MCU and DCU are #but god. god i have not seen a single disney live action remake i enjoyed watching #also the MCU and DCU and star wars are all annoying as fuck and the longer they go on the more and more they are sapped of any personality #and the more by the numbers they can become #im not a film critic im not a genius and im sure as fuck not majorly informed on film theory or making but these movies are all so fucking #boring to me. i wish the people behind them instead 1) didnt do live action remakes of beautifully animated 2d movies and 2) had an end #goal in sight that didnt waver indefinitely to include as many IPs as possible between the start and end of the series AND didn't already #have a plan in place to do a reboot or continuation as soon as that last movie in the story arc is over #every time i watch an MCU or DCU movie it feels so by the numbers and/or attempting to pull in the same success as previous releases #this obviously isnt mentioning how shitty the studios are for treating their workers how they do or how bullshit the people running the #MCU are for insisting on filming in the greenest screen to ever have screened so even the actors dont know what scene theyre acting out #or to mention the racial problems or sexism or anything like that #just how annoying these things are to me. i just want to watch movies dude. i dont want to watch movies with the biggest budgets and the #worst greenscreen ive seen since 2006 because the artists are overworked and not paid nearly enough #this obviously plays into other films as well but the disney live action remakes and MCU and DCU and star wars annoy me the most #im not watching live action pinocchio. im so tired of it #spooky speaks
