usopp saving robin from spandan has to be one of the best moments in anime/manga history...to me this is like the defining moment of both enies lobby and water 7 as well as a phenomenal moment for both of their character arcs and how they interconnect.

#the way this show presents its themes in general is incredible #peak storytelling #one piece #usopp #nico robin #enies lobby arc #enies lobby #water seven arc #water 7 arc

We all know that glass breaking scene in Glass Onion is a visual manifestation of Miles' speech about disrupting at the start of the movie and all but can we appreciate how all the characters who called themselves "disruptors" and claimed to go against the system were the ones that chickened out when shit got serious and Helen was the only one that kept going

look i know i've said it before but sony's ps peter parker truly is the best peter parker. he's such a sweetheart and his game really balances the scrungy little guy and genius aspects of his character perfectly. the dude spends most of the game couch surfing because he gets evicted from his apartment. he leaves tony stark on read. he has zero dollars to his name because he works for doc oc pursuing projects that have the chance of making a real difference to people's lives and not working for oscorp even tho he could get a job there in a heart beat. he's subscribed to j. jonah jamison's podcast and has his suit autoplay each episode. he gets miles a job at f.e.a.s.t after his dad dies because he knows the grief of losing a parent so acutely and knows he needs something to channel that into. and i'm not very far into the miles morales game but even tho he's not even there for most of it, you can tell he's loving having miles as a partner in spider crimes. he's been spider-man alone for 8 years and has clearly just jumped into having someone to mentor. he gives him a suit with knee and elbow pads which is the cutest thing ever. he sets up training sims while he's away to keep up with miles' training and fills them with puns and does silly vulture impressions during the final stage. like how can you not love him? he is the superior peter parker and that's a hill i'll die on.

my beloved 💖

#og face supremacy #justice for john bubniak #and like yes #i know that games and movies and two fundamentally different mediums but i dont care #this version of peter/spidey is the best adaptation #i've seen all the movies and played the games and this is my conclusion #like the conclusion of the first game? heartbreaking #seeing him cry over octavius' betrayal broke me #his final few lines about how he was everything he wanted to be and how he worshipped him? end me #peak storytelling #yuri lowenthal does such an incredible performance #and like looking at just miles morales you could argue pete's been reduced to quips but like that's how he clearly is from miles' pov yk? #of course he's going to be unerringly positive and upbeat as a mentor #plus we've already seen his serious and heartfelt moments so we know it's there #i just have so many thoughts about these games and the details in them #.txt #marvel #sony ps spider man

not negating anybody's experience i know black sails is outstanding regardless of how or when or how quickly you watch it. but also, as a gay person who watched it in real time, you really had to be there. they introduce anne bonny and you know your pirate history so you KNOW she's a girlliker. she has a moment with max but youre not sure where it's gonna go. because it's 2014. you wait over a year for 2x01 and she and max fucking obliterate you with the sword drop kiss scene. all anybody is talking about in the tags is vaneeleanor. a few weeks later 2.05 drops and flint is not only textually gay and kissing a man but he is waging war on england, on all of civilization for taking away his male lover. you find this out after investing fourteen hours on this show that have spanned over a year and a half in your real life. not to mention the miranda stuff and silver's arc and mr scott and madi and the death march that seasons 3 and 4 feel like when you have no inkling of how it's gonna end. but you stick with it regardless because it's good and besides it's 2014-2017 and the only genre show with gay people in it is fucking... the 100? lol anyway. more gay people flock to black sails between seasons and the tag becomes more about the gay shit than vaneeleanor, thank fucking god, finally. you all dread the last season. you brace yourselves for the worst. you thank the stars this show airs weekly because watching even just two episodes together is too overwhelming. 4.08 airs. you cry. 4.09 airs. you cry. 4.10 airs. your life will never be the same. you cry so hard you catch a fever and have to stay in bed all week to recuperate. you know this was a once in a lifetime experience never to be repeated again but you can't help but hold every other show to this impossible standard.

#black sails #i cherish this experience so much #i never rewatched. i had seen each episode exactly once shortly after it aired and never revisited it because it was so dense #and unique and overwhelming #i never rewatched‚ that is‚ until i showed it to my girlfriend #and not to be a wifeguy but it was such a special experience rivaled only by the winter she sat me down and showed me all of twin peaks #watching with someone you Love that Gets storytelling the exact same way you do comes with its own warmth and excitement #the only way to follow up my real time fucking odyssey with this show #i moved CONTINENTS between seasons.

There's something incredibly funny to me about the fact that Liu Min's father was yelling how his cause of death being suicide was completely assinine because his son absolutely wasn't depressed or mentally ill in any way while the show silently shows that fucking no one cares that he's gone. That funeral gathering is EMPTY.

Like shit, HIS OWN FAMILY CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO PRETEND THEY CARE EITHER!! These are the least bothered people I've ever seen, and QJ's shit-eating-grin while standing next to them as they walk around to start drama tops it off.

The fact that these are the family members that even bothered to show up is just fucking brutal. Like wow, he was not liked holy shit.

I get it LAN, he was awful. But dear Lord this is one hell of a curb stomping with only two short lines and three still frames.

the secret ninjago truth is that lloyd isn’t actually an anime protagonist, kai was the traditional anime protagonist and got usurped by lloyd, a comic book protagonist

#ninjago #lloyd garmadon #text✨ #i get why everyone says lloyd is. HOWEVER #the consistent inconsistency the serialized adventures that tell super interesting stories but regularly contradict #each other and retcon half the original canon #the writers constantly trying to recreate the original status quo but just fucking it up even more… #i understand where people are coming from but the writers are EXTREMELY american. these are late 70s kids who grew up with the peak of #the american comic industry. lloyd’s a comic book character #the hagemans specifically pointed to their childhood storytelling with their action figures as influencing how they wrote the show and it #shows. #this isn’t like a callout or anything avshdjd #it’s just interesting to me. as someone who’s been collecting that era of comics (right around when the big 2 were rolling out secret wars #and crisis on infinite earths and finally making superhero stories coherent #it’s very clear how this is the kind of media they were exposed to and internalized #ninjago is very reflective of the storytelling strategies of late 80s and early 90s comics and that’s cool. #*especially later seasons of ninjago

Klaine should have had an angsty ABBA duet I'm gonna die mad thinking about it

#listening to the visitors album rn...music peaked here #SOS or knowing me knowing you are my top picks #they would have brought the drama i know it :( #glee needed more ABBA they're so theatrical...perfect for storytelling
