Requisite Kung Fu Panda Post
Yes, I am going to see Kung Fu Panda this weekend, and I've decided to rewatch the series to prepare. Since this is the "digging deep in analyzing movies" site I'm going to talk way too much about it.
Specifically, I'm going to focus on the truly exceptional storytelling of Kung Fu Panda 1, how each subsequent movie feels like yet another installment of Po's story, and how while the first movie is the best, part of the power of the first movie is the ways in which the subsequent movies lift it up.
I like this series way too much y'all. I have not only seen each movie many times, I have also seen all of the bonus content movie shorts set in the same universe multiple times (the one that covers the backstories of the Furious Five is particularly good imo).
Spoilers ahead. Analysis below the cut.
Okay, first off, I forgot how emotional the first movie is.
There are so many tiny gut punches, but there are also so many funny and 'emotionally high' moments. I think what it comes down to is the first movie knows how to make relatable stakes that hold gravitas.
Here's what I mean by that. We start out with a dream sequence, right? and it's really cool. And then Po wakes up, and tries really hard not to disappoint his dad even though he obviously doesn't quite fit the life he lives (evidenced by his ongoing desire for something else, the way he feels like he's limiting himself to 'realistic expectations,' and how he doesn't quite fit between the tables and struggles to serve the customers).
So instantaneously, and I think this is like in the first ten minutes, we get the following stakes:
not disappoint his dad
enjoy what he loves whenever possible
It's a small life, but man. First of all, I find his problems extremely relatable (trying to keep his dreams 'realistic;' trying to make his dad proud and happy). But they're also resonant, because we get what they mean to Po.
So when we hit the first real goal—watch the Furious Five compete to find the Dragon Warrior—we know just how much it means to Po.
And the obstacles that get placed on him (the noodle cart) are both funny and thematically relevant. He is literally tied down by his noodle life, and his dedication to his dad. He cannot make it to Kung Fu unless he is willing to let go of the noodle cart. To admit to his father what he really loves and wants out of life.
And BAM, it is actually the minute that he admits to his dad (after a poignant and sad-but-funny near-miss) "I love Kung Fu!" that he finally is able to access the Jade Courtyard. (This is also an important moment because, well, him admitting what he wants to his dad. It's important. He's honest, and we get to see his dad's reaction—sympathy and kindness. His dad still only knows noodles. That's all he can offer Po. But he loves Po no matter what.) Also Po whamming into a wall and then fireworking over the wall is really funny. His poor dad, the way he just DOES NOT know what to do.
And poor Po, he does not get to see ANY of the kung fu. First task, 100% failed. Plus, he earns the ire of his heroes and general humiliation. This is one of the few moments where a character gets humiliated that I completely love. Secondhand embarrassment is like poison to me, and I often feel bad about humiliation. But Po's humiliation is funny and then, to me, warm.
I think it's because of the narrative framing. We know, because he is the main character, that Po is the Dragon Warrior. The Furious Five and Shifu are known as good and righteous people, and the way in which they defend each other from this stranger—they are deeply unkind to him but also kind to each other. I can sympathize with why they want Po gone. And then we have Oogway, who seems to hold wisdom and knowledge beyond what he says.
(And an aside about Oogway. The second and third movies give this even more oomph, because there's this person, right, who falls in front of his eyes. But he's also from a group of people thought to be all gone, who are known masters of chi. The weight of destiny in that!! And it makes sense for Oogway to say nothing, right? Because they'll internalize it only if they get to learn from themselves, and you can't argue with someone who won't argue with you.)
So, then, Shifu and the Furious Five conspire to get Po to quit. This is Po's next obstacle. (And, look, the way all the characters but especially Shifu and Tigress get arcs that parallel Po's never fails to impress me.)
And instead of a pure win / lose condition, we get to know that Po is highly tenacious (implied by him trying to get the noodle cart up the stairs), and that he carries a lot of shame.
But when we really get to know about his shame, when he tells Shifu, if anyone could make me not me, it would be you. Man, that's heartbreaking. And it made sense why he stayed before this—but it adds gutwrenching layers of depth to it.
Also Tigress's story breaks my heart every time. "More than he loved anyone before… or since." The way her voice breaks. Her little baby face. And although it's heavily implied in the movie that she too needed Shifu on a deeper level than just teacher, the backstory minisode adds SO MUCH depth. Because she's a little girl whose strength makes her difficult to handle and who, after abandonment, has rage which makes her terrifying. And Shifu shows up, and brings her to a place where those can be assets, not weaknesses. He adopts her, just like he adopted Tai Lung.
But he still doesn't give her all the love she needs.
I think she's my favorite character. And I like that Shifu, though a fair and caring mentor, is also not perfect by any means.
So Shifu confronts Oogway about Po, and gets a lesson in control. Shifu is so interesting here because, one, he's not controlling himself nearly as tightly as he does with the five. He is audibly frustrated and angry. He's making himself vulnerable with his master. And though he is careful not to disrespect him, he does argue with him. The way he argues that he can control when the peaches fall, and then one hits him on the head—hilarious.
And this whole scene makes Oogway's death emotionally impactful, because it's so clear that Shifu still has a lot to learn and still feels like he needs his master.
And just to wrap it all around full circle. "There IS no secret ingredient." Po's experience of social affirmation and self-love and feeling he is enough is what brings out his full potential and allows him to fulfill his destiny. And Tai Lung's tragedy is, that despite being loved, his ego tells him that only external things can ever bring power. The fact that he cannot see what Po can—that there is no secret ingredient—is his downfall in life. Which makes him a perfect foil for Po AND a perfect narrative vehicle in a story that is all about love, acceptance, celebrating our differences, and community. And none of these things would ring true if there wasn't a lack of acceptance to overcome at the start.

Ao3 Author Stats: Th3P0rtalMaker
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
A) Purely my own, 4.
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
A) 230,650 (including my own fics and the one I co-authored)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
A) Just Tangled the Series right now. But in the past I've written for Ice Age, The Librarians (2014), Kung Fu Panda, and Stuart Little.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
A) Not including the one I co-authored:
1 - "Cardamom Cream" - 16 Kudos
2 - "Incarnate" - 12 Kudos
3 - "Fall for the Family" - 6 Kudos
4 - "Mission: Party Fowl" - 1 Kudos
5. Do you respond to comments?
A) YES! I love interacting with people in the comments!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
A) "Fall for the Family", which was requested by @batata-doce-com-farofa , is gonna have a very bittersweet ending in it's unabridged version.
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
A) Honestly I think my drabble "Cardamom Cream", which was requested by @kazoosandfannypacks , has the happiest ending I've given to any fanfic. 
8. Do you get hate on fics?
A) Not yet, but there's a first time for everything.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
A) I don't currently write smut, but I think if I ever started it would be purely for myself.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
A) I haven't written a full one yet, but I do dabble in them! I have a little HtTYD au starring the Brotherhood; they received the power to turn into dragons from the Moonstone (as reward for their service). The species/breed of dragon they can turn into is essentially chosen for them by the Moonstone, but based on certain charactersitics that they already have. Hector's knighthood ceremony was tainted by the fact that he was given the ability to turn into a Deathgripper, which the Dark Kingdom considered dangerous and untameable. 
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
A) Not that I know of, but a couple of my old Ice Age fics got adopted after I lost interest in them.
12. What's the longest you've spent working on one fic? And the shortest?
I've been workin on "Incarnate" for 2-3 years now (I just started posting chapters this year), so I think that would count as the longest. The shortest amount of time would be for "Cardamom Cream" - I think I wrote that in just a few minutes and went back later to edit/proofread before posting it.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
A) Yes! I co-authored "Blood of My Brother" with Amax76. But she only recruited me during the last 10 chapters or so. 
14. What's your all-time favorite ship? From all fandoms?
A) Ember and Wade from Elemental are probably my all-time favorite romantic ship. I identify very strongly with Ember's struggle as a fire-being living in a city that caters to every element except her own. To me, it feels very much like a metaphor for disability, especially Autism and ADHD (which are both conditions that I have). The concept of Ember and Wade navigating a romantic relationship in spite of their differences is exactly what I think a romantic relationship between me and a future partner would look like, especially if the guy is neurotypical. (I cried so hard after watching that movie.)
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
A) Honestly not sure.
16. What are your writing strengths?
A) Dialogue, emotions, long-form writing, certain forms of symbolism, physical descriptions/actions
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
A) Short-form writing
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? 
A) I love including languages that I don't speak in my own fics, but I do recognjze that it takes a certain level of translation work to make sure I'm being as accurate and respectful as possible. I'm currently trying to make sure I only use it in spurts during "Incarnate."
19. First fandom you wrote for?
A) Ice Age
20. Favorite fic you've written?
A) So far "Incarnate" is shaping up to be my favorite!

Yooooo unironically LOVE the trolls movie. The second one was okay too, I can't remember it as well as the first but the first is a whole ass comfort movie for me and my best friend when he visits. It's just so. Nice. And, yknow, singing killed my grandma helps too
Casual animation-fan rant beloe
Like I love the decision to take the 60s-70s as a major design influence since that's when Trolls exploded in popularity. The Trolls themselves are in this world composed entirely of felt, wool, and other textiles in these bright psychedelic colors inspired by hippie clothes and patterns. Meanwhile the Bergens' town is based of 70s slums, wear clothes based off the ugly ass polyester suits of the same time period, grey and/or white belts, and Bridget's disguise bridges the gap (no pun intended) with a 70s Disco queen outfit and hairstyle.
Also Walt Dohrn is one of the co-directors of the first film (and the VA for Cloud Guy) and the dude was a writer and producer on SpongeBob Season 2 and multiple early seasons of Dexter's Lab, and the first film has his writing fingerprints over it. I think that's why there's that nice blend of dark humor and fucked-upedness with the colorful happy optimism of the Trolls. Obviously it isn't all him, but you know what I mean.
And this film's hair and textile animation is legit phenomenal. Like the rigging they had to do must have been difficult as hell and I'm not surprised they used quite a bit of "cheating" to make things look good; the final scene where Poppy hugs Branch actually has her model clipping into his, so to solve the problem they just have the camera on the other side so that isn't visible to the audience.
Anyway DreamWorks still makes some good shit and I honestly have always respected their work from the 90s onwards more than Disney, ESPECIALLY regarding their 3d animation department. I like a lot of CG Disney films but...okay, CG films always have to find a way to translate their 2D character and art designs/concepts to whatever software they're working with. I think DreamWorks does a FAR better job "translating" their 2D concept art and designs than recent Disney projects. Trolls, Megamind, Kung Fu Panda, etc just have a better "translation" from concept to CG animation than (imo) Frozen, Frozen 2, Moana, Encanto, etc. Granted, Frozen was in development hell for nearly 50 fucking years, but I think my point still stands for other Disney projects.
I'll put it another way. DreamWorks is much more "cartoony" when it comes to designs and animation compared to Disney, which I think is why Disney gets the accusation that they have "same-face" syndrome for so many of their characters. They try to go for more realistic human designs with juuuust enough cartoonish aspects to be in the middle, which can come across as more boring. Like I liked Encanto's character design, esp when you can tell these characters are all family despite looking very different from each other. But Disney-Pixar seems less willing to take risks and get really FUN with their character designs compared to DreamWorks.
It also helps that DreamWorks has way more non-human characters and casts: Kung-Fu Panda, Shrek, Monsters vs. Aliens, Trolls, etc. Crazy shit and characters is basically their wheelhouse. But that makes them more distinct than Disney's prettified, smoothed-down approach to character design.
Speaking of which I added the new Puss in Boots film and all 3 Kung Fu Panda films to my watch list. I watched the first KFP when it came out but never the next two and they look really fun.
Also, special and very specific caveat-filled shout-out to the often maligned Sony Animation studio because Genndy Tartakovsky's work on the Hotel Transylvania series is some of the best CG animation I've ever fucking seen. It is so full of life and bouncy and dynamic and even if I dislike a lot of their other projects, the Hotel Transylvania films have amazing animation. It and the Spider-Verse film(s) showcase two ends of the spectrum that is animation as a medium.
And Illumination and Blue Sky Studios! I know they get some admittedly deserved shit but I really like the art style of films like Despicable Me, the Peanuts movie, the Dr. Seuss films, and Secret Life of Pets. They both do a nice job translating their concept art to a CG animation style and I find it appealing.

Round 1 poll 8: Otto the Otter from real life vs The Furious Five and master Shifu from Kung fu Panda
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut:
Otto the Otter:
I love all big animal statues, but Otto is very special to me. I've brought him up in conversations with friends to let them know how cool he is. (We do not live by him). I just think he's so neat and cute.
The Furious Five and master Shifu:
i am a kung fu panda media connoisseur. i have seen the kung fu panda movies so many times i am not sure how many times it's been anymore. shifu was my fav as a kid and one day when i looked up content for him i found an amv of him set to womanizer that haunts me and that is STILL THERE last i checked. after the first kfp movie came out (when i was like 6) it became so well known as a thing i loved among my family that three separate people surprised me with taking me to see the sequel on like my birthday i think i don't even remember, and i told none of them this so i could see it 3 times in theaters. i was ELATED to receive that gift thrice. i own the series and secrets of the furious 5 on dvd. i have seen all the specials, including kung fu panda holiday, which i watched on youtube as a kid in like those weird 5 minute snippets marked part 1, part 2, etc. going to watch all the kfp media i know in chronological order (excluding the multiple tv series and possibly secrets of the masters because i am just not as invested unfortunately) before seeing the fourth movie in 2024. dreamworks truly has me by the balls forever if they ever make more kfp movies or short films like i will show up no questions asked. i have a google doc called kung fu panda headcanon corner that is 6 pages long
this is the same person as last time i just wanted to add that when i was younger i had the entire scripts to both kung fu panda 1 and the secrets of the furious five memorized such that i could repeat them verbatim whenever i wanted to and would try to get people to reenact them with me in preschool during recess

Are there any TV shows/Movies you look back on fondly? Anything you’re looking forward to?
Tumblr media
"Over the Hedge" is definitely one that comes to mind right away. Its a film I fell in love with when I first seen it a long time ago. In fact, at one point, I watched it so many times, I practically had every line in the film memorized! RJ the Raccoon, the main character, was even my #1 favorite character for the longest time, and I recall even trying to collect some of his merchandise, too (fortunately, there wasn't too much... nowhere near as much as a certain spotted pup has 😅).
Even though I don't love the film as much as I used to, I still rewatch it every now and then. People seem to be mixed on it anymore, but I still think it holds up. Not as well as Dreamworks' other films, like Kung Fu Panda 2 and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, but I think it's certainly worth a watch if you haven't seen it!
Tumblr media
As for TV shows, practically anything I watched that I fell in love with when I was very young. One that pops to mind quite quickly is "Top Cat", an old Hanna-Barbera cartoon that aired long before I was even born (early 1960's, I believe). Then again, a lot of the old Looney Tunes cartoons gets the same feeling out of me, since I remember watching those a bunch on TV. For the most part, they all really hold up quite well to this day!
As for what I'm looking forward to now... admittedly, I can't think of anything right off hand. I haven't been following along with that kind of stuff as much as I used to, so I'm not too sure what new films or TV series are upcoming at the moment. If anything, I'm very curious about Hayao Miyazaki's final film ("How Do You Live", or the new American title, "The Boy and the Heron"), since I've been a fan of practically all of his works for a long time now ("Spirited Away" and "Kiki's Delivery Service" being two of my all time favorite films).

You seem like u have good opinions, give me three of your favorite books/movies/media you’d recommend
HEHE thank you that's very sweet to say <3
I'm gonna just rec 3 books and 3 movies... and 3 TV shows >:3c
Books:
Fatal Fidelity Series (Love Kills Twice and Love Bleeds Deep) - Probably some of my favorite books right now! The third book is coming out soon and I'm SO SO excited about it. It's about this NB assassin who falls in love with one of their clients and honestly the writing is just so damn good. Pulls you in and doesn't let go until you've finished all there is to read
Bloodlines Series (Spin-off series of Vampire Academy, the first book is called Bloodlines) - Honestly I always liked this series more than the OG for several reasons. But one of those reasons is that this is a "forbidden love" romance between a human who knows of and is disgusted by vampires.... and a vampire who everyone sees as lazy and lacking in any redeeming qualities. Somehow they bring out the best in one another in every single book and they fall in love and they learn magic and topple evil organizations and all that sexy shit <3
They Both Die at the End - A story that just like. Really urges to you get out and live your life. Not in a bad way, though, really. I mean that's the whole point of the story it tells. I read it very recently but it struck such a chord with me, I don't think I'll ever get it out of my head. It ends sadly, as the title suggests, but the story leading up to it was so beautiful and well-crafted
Honorable mentions (aka other books i've read recently that i'm obsessed with): You've Reached Sam, She Gets the Girl, What If It's Us (and the sequel: Here's To Us), the Gregor the Overlander series, Daughter of Sparta, and honestly so many others but i'm spacing on the names rn so if you'd like hmu for more when i'm back in nebraska
Movies:
Kimi No Na Wa - Also called Your Name, this is THE best movie i will ever watch, it's been my favorite since I first watched it and I'm forever in love with and obsessed with it <3
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - One of my favorite movies tbh, the main character is so awkward but very real. The little reveal at the end of the film always makes me really happy. Plus there's a moment where a pretty lady sings Space Oddity and I always skip straight to watching that scene first lmao
The Kung Fu Panda trilogy - One of the BEST movie trilogies ever no lie. amazing characters AND character development across three films. Very fun times. Some sad times. Lots of humor and also Tigress is pretty
TV Shows:
Miraculous Ladybug - I mean. I have to rec it. Always. Season 5 is about to start airing and the stakes are higher than ever and it's so EXCITING i can't wait <3 superheroes, identity shenanigans, consequences relating to superhero secrets, angst, romance, friendship and more!!!!!! so good.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts - ONE OF MY FAVE SHOWS!!!!! The animation is so damn cool and it's got some of my favorite protagonists ever. The character arcs are masterfully crafted. There's giant animals and found family and family reunions and tragic backstories that are conquered through choosing to love anyways. 100/10
Amphibia - The other show I'm super obsessed with right now even though I only watched it 2 weeks ago. BETRAYALS! FOUND FAMILY! FRIENDSHIP! Forgiveness and love and traversing worlds and also FROGS, NEWTS, AND TOADS!!! Sword fights! Prophecies! SPRANNE AGAINST THE WORLD! (you'll get it if you watch it)
anyways thnk you again for htis ask i love reccing stuff :)

Here's Every Game, Movie & TV show I Love...
01. Dreamworks: I'm not the biggest fan of everything this company produces but I'd say I love about 90% of everything they have made. Some examples are things like How To Train Your Dragon, Voltron, She-Ra, Kung Fu Panda, Tales of Arcadia, Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron and Road to El Dorado.
02. Studio Ghibli: This is a fairly new one to me, I've seen a handful of their movies but damn I love every single one of them so far!!
03. Disney: In this category I'm primarily talking about the animated movies here, things like Treasure Planet, Alice in Wonderland, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and most of those types of movies.
04. Wizarding World: This one is touchy but I can't deny I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and other related stories. However, I do not agree with or support the views and opinions JK Rowling has apparently stated (I've never seen the interview where all this went down).
05. Middle Earth: This is Obviously talking about The Hobbit, Lord of The Rings and all other related stories.
06. DC Multiverse: Admittedly I am not very knowledgeable on DC properties but I grew up watching Batman Brave & The Bold, Christopher Reeves Superman and I am loving the CW networks Arrowverse.
07. Star Wars: I love all Star Wars equally, end of story lol.
08. Marvel Multiverse: This is probably the biggest one I'm into, I lover everything that's related to Marvel but my absolute favourite Marvel property is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
09. Elder Scrolls: I'm primarily talking about Skyrim because that's the only one I've ever gotten to play but overall I love the elder scrolls
10. Sonic The Hedgehog: I'm still pretty new to this fandom and my only experience with this franchise is from the 2022 film, Sonic Racing and Smash Bros.
11. Legend of Spyro: This is something I've been a fan of since I was old enough to know the difference between a square, circle and triangle!! I love that little purple dragon more than you could ever know lol.
12. Legend of Zelda: Okay who isn't a fan of Zelda after Breath of the Wild? But I do love the franchise more than just that game alone.
13. Legend of The Bionicle: Bionicle is one of those fandoms that I got into as a child and slowly lost interest in since I couldn't collect the toys anymore but I am still VERY interested in the universe and the lore surrounding the G1 Bionicle franchise.
14. Legend of Aang & Korra: As much as I believe this series is over hyped a little too much these days, I can't deny that it's a great franchise that I absolutely love and adore!!
15. Pokémon: I'm into strategic play by any standard, I play the games and choose my team depending on how much I love the Pokémon visually lol.
16. Assassins Creed: I didn't get to play many of the original games and I don't have much free time as an adult but I do love the newer games and respect the older ones for what they were, Valhalla is definitely my favourite though haha.
17. Ratchet & Clank: Ah the memories I have of playing this game, both new and old... I honestly couldn't fault this series even if I tried except for the handheld ports but we don't talk about them, it's seriously that good lol.
18. Skylanders: Apparently you either HATE this franchise or LOVE it and that's it... well I actually went from one extreme to other, I hated the game because I thought it a straight up rip off of Spyro but then I educated myself and my little brother got a starter set for Christmas and I now I love it because of all the memories I have of playing it with him and now I have all our Skylanders displayed in a glass case lol.
19. Horizon Zero Dawn: Okay these games are just freaking awesome!! Like there's ROBOTS and they are in the shape of DINOSAURS!!! Talk about a million dollar idea, and Aloy is just a god damn icon 😍
20. Tomb Raider: I actually don't much about this franchise outside the trilogy that came out a few years ago but yeah I love that trilogy and find all the stories really interesting and suspenseful.
21. Halo: This is so weird but I've never owned an X-Box or any Halo games but damn do those games look a lot of fun!! I've had to live vicariously through YouTube streamers and the various Halo movies that have come out, so once I can afford it I'll definitely be buying Halo Infinite.
22. Yu-Gi-Oh: Okay I wouldn't say I'm an active fan of this series but I do love the original series and 5D's the thing is I'm more just a fan of the lore of the series and love the artwork on the cards.
23. Beyblade Metal: Growing up this is probably the first anime I really got hooked on and I still love Beyblades themselves but I don't have time to watch the new series or have much interest in it... also this series is essentially basic physics lessons for kids and that in itself is cool lol.
24. Supernatural: Ghosts, spirits, monsters, demons and mythology of various cultures all rolled into one story focused on two dumbass brothers... what's not to love?
25. Dragonball: Imma be straight with you, I don't like the original Dragonball, don't like Dragonball Z, Dragonball Kai or GT. I tried to watch them but I just... can't... I only really like Dragonball Super and that's it... sorry to any hard-core dragonball fans out there.
26. TMNT: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! HEROS IN A HALF SHELL! TURTLE POWER!! Haha how can you not love these idiots? Not the biggest fan of the newer stuff but that's because I'm not the target audience, other than that, love it all!!
27. Deltora Quest: This is literally the book series that got me interested in reading books! Like there's a magic belt made of gemstones and crystals, a medieval fantasy setting and dark force about to conquer the land!! What's not to get excited about lol
28. Transformers: Lol these guys are just cool, this franchise is about as interested in cars as I'll ever be haha.
29. Sabans Power Rangers 2017: This movie needs a post of its own because I don't like Power Rangers in the normal sense but this movie is weirdly special to me... stay tuned.
30. Game of Thrones: Yes I like this show, no I don't hate the last season, yes I wish I had my own gigantic fire breathing lizard lol.
31. Ben 10: I know this is a weird one, but once you know how weird I am, it'll make sense... this is my forever show, I'll never be able to get enough of this thing I even have my own functional Omnitrix... "functional" meaning it's digital with a rotating dial and around 90 alien icons on it.
32. Once Upon a Time: This show is sentimental to me more than anything else, it's the show I grew up watching with my mother, it's our thing.
33. Arthurian Legend: Never thought you'd see this one huh? Lol guess again! Okay at first I was going to right I'm a fan of the "The Adventures of Merlin" TV show but then I realised I also like the mini series staring Sam Neill and then I realised I also love almost any other interpretation of Merlin, King Arther and the Knights of The Round Table lol
34. Umbrella Academy: Lol this franchise is just cool... nuff said.
35. Dungeons & Dragons: This damn game infuriates the living hel out of me while simultaneously gives me so much joy, fun and laughter which I feel sums up most people's experiences with this game.
36. The Last of Us: I don't know what it us about this game because I'm not normally into the horror genre but just everything about these these games just calls to me lol
37. Dragon Prince: I discovered this universe purely by accident I was simply looking for a way to keep my baby brother entertained and it turned out the stories and relationships they unfolded her entertained me far more than I could've realised lol.
38. Charmed: Sometimes I wonder if I only like this show because I grew up watching it with my mother but then I watch it again and I realise it's one of the few life drama shows that actually make sense lol
