#the whole movie was so dumb i LOVED it

[turtleblogatlast]

I will never be over Leo’s 4D chess play in “Many Unhappy Returns”. Like, just in general it is a spectacle to see this character who we’ve seen goofing around time and time again, who’s only sometimes decided to take things seriously, only to show him making a maneuver like that.

And here’s what gets me the most about his plan against Big Mama: he comes up with it on the spot. The second he sees that Big Mama has the solution they need, he’s already in game mode.

It is so satisfying watching the episode back when you realize his plan, because he literally sets the stage entirely for a decisive victory. He sees that the champion is a kraken, and comes up with both the solution to defeating it and a reasonable excuse to get that solution into the battle with them on the fly:

“Like your champ aaand those six guys. In fact, we don’t want this over too quickly. You should armor up those rookies. The whole shebang. Especially with these pointy helmets.”

And this is why giving him teleportation powers is perfect, too. He analyzes the battlefield and makes use of all the assets, moving pieces around to guarantee a win. It is honestly so impressive to witness and one of my favorite parts of his character.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #many unhappy returns #Leo is SO GOOD AT THIS PLEASE #he can be a dumb dumb but when he uses his brain he is AMAZING #I love him so much #dude has the equivalent of Fire Emblem Awakening Robin’s “see the whole battlefield” ability frfr #all of this while not letting on his real plan at ALL #please he’s so good oh my god #and this imo is why he grows into the worlds best ninja #because subterfuge is one of the main abilities one should have as one #and Leo is SO GOOD AT SUBTERFUGE #*eyes Lair Games intently* #side note too but he does a bit of it in the movie as well #‘I missed on purpose’ #it’s small but he had to make sure the Kraang didn’t suspect a thing and he SUCCEEDED #GOD I love??? this boy????? #he’s genuinely so insanely well written and has so much depth I could rant for days man #subterfuge as well so sooooo much fun to witness in action ESPECIALLY WHEN WE THE AUDIENCE IS ALSO MISLED AAA #SOMEONE MENTIONED IT IN THE TAGS TOO BUT YEAH ALSO HE HAD COMPLETE FAITH IN THE REST OF HIS FAMILY TOO #he knows them to a T and was able to accurately predict where they would be by the time he made it back to them #like that’s insane he’s so big brained and deliberately goofy about it I love him #his number one flaw is not letting his team in on his plans and that’s so interesting to me #we see it so clearly in the movie #he CAN accomplish things on his own honestly!! #he’s actually really good at it! #BUT it’s not about him - and not letting his family in on his plans can and does cause collateral damage to them #‘I’m nothing without them’ and ‘it’s not about me’ go hand in hand and can either work off each other for the better or for the Worse #could also go in on how his issues with letting his team in are constantly brought up over the series and how it ISNT just a one way street

Listen ik everyone hates on jigsaw and Logan but who here actually loves the idea of Logan being a part of the jigsquad. He has such tired/amused older brother energy I just imagine him standing there drinking coffee with John as chaos ensues.

#yes i love logan and the jigsaw movie. no im not sorry. #listen i basically spoiled the entirety of the saw franchise to myself and knew who all the apprentices were #HOWEVER #when i watched jigsaw i was actually really invested and the twist actually threw me for a loop and i really loved it #and also logans deadpan and petty energy the whole time was so fun i love that dumb straight boy #logan nelson #jigsaw #saw franchise #saw #jigsquad #LOGAN STANS WHERE YOU AT I WANT MORE HCS FOR THIS MAN #aml-speaks

It watched me without eyes

"Hey- You listening?" My date snapped her fingers in front of me, tearing my gaze away from it. For a brief moment I couldn't remember her name, then it came to me.

"Sorry, Frances. Didn't mean to doze off like that," I said sheepishly. "So… you were saying?"

Frances reclined back, seemingly mollified. "Well, Miriam _had_ to run around telling everyone about Henrietta's boyfriend, so Mirabelle and I teamed up to stop her from running her mouth. But could you believe it…" 

"Yep, I'm sure," I said idly, tuning her words out. Goodness, that woman ran her mouth like nobody's business. She was pretty enough to make up for it, a bombshell blonde with baby blue eyes. I had met her on a dating app. She was the bubbly, spiritual sort, going so far as to call herself a 'witch' and brag about her astrology knowledge. Not the brightest bulb in the box, naturally, but I had always had a thing for bimbos.

"Ugh, I know right?! Like, how could she say such things about poor Glendy! It makes my blood boil just thinking about it, you know you know?! That's why I think Mitchell was so brave to stand up for her…"

Something brushed against my bare, exposed throat, and I jolted away, standing up and turning around sharply. But it was only an elderly woman in a bright pink scarf, shuffling to her seat. "So sorry for starting you, dearie," she purred, settling down. "Really, I ought to be more careful."

I nodded placatingly. "Sorry about that, ma'am," I said, nodding my head in apology. The hunger made me skittish. We were at a cosy little Italian restaurant, newly opened and barely occupied.

"Goodness, you're really anxious!" Frances tittered. "Say? Where's our food? I think I need to go call and talk to the waiters at this point." She waved her arm about, trying to catch the attention of the waiters. From the corner where we sat, I caught sight of three of them, heads bowed in some sort of conversation.

None of them looked up. The restaurant was practically empty, and I understood why. Who would want to go to a place with such poor service? They had yet to greet the old lady next to me. "I'll deal with this," I told Frances, and got up ready to give them a piece of my mind. 

Pushing my chair back, I strode purposefully over to the waiters. "Hey, we ordered a lasagna, a risotto, two white wines and a bread basket twenty minutes ago! Where the hell's our food?"

They didn't look up, and I suddenly felt a rush of rage. "Didn't you hear what I just said? I want to speak to your manager now!" The nerve of them, to ignore a paying customer. Had they even conveyed my order to the kitchen? I took one step closer until I was glaring at the back of a dark haired waiter's head. Fed up with him, I grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. "Don't play dumb-"

He was watching me with no eyes. His face was nothing more than a smooth plateau, devoid of emotion. Yet I had the distinct feeling that he saw me, that he was staring at me, and most of all, that he was angry.

It occurred to me that I might have made a significant error. An error so significant that it might cost me my life. I took two steps away, releasing the faceless waiter from my grasp. "My bad, boys," I said, raising my hands in surrender. "I won't bother you again, eh? Take your time with the lasagna."

The other two waiters looked up, and I swear I saw a twitching of the cheeks that signalled a grin. I turned and fled, only to run right into the old lady. "Run, somethings really wrong with the waiters!" I grabbed her wrist, but something held me right there. I turned around.

The old lady grinned at me, revealing far too many rows of needle-sharp teeth. Her scarf wrapped itself about me like furry pink tentacles, constricting my chest and making my head spin. "What a nice youngster you are," she purred, grasping my arms with bloodied, tetanus-ridden claws. "Looking after an old lady like that, hmm? Why, I could just eat you up!"

Her jaws unclicked, and I gagged on the rotten stink of her breath. They expanded, and I found myself staring down the deep abyss of her oesophagus. I was going to die here, I realised dismally. I was going to die because I went on a stupid date at this miserable restaurant.

And then I wasn't. A small, manicured hand pulled me back, and I found myself wedged into the not-insignificant bosom of Frances. She bore a look of complete, utter disgust. "Let go of my date, skinwalker," she snapped. "This one's mine!"

"Frances, run! Don't try to fight that thing," I urged, trying to hurry her along. I hooked my arm around hers and picked her up, only to get a snack on the head for my troubles.

"Put me down, you idiot! Didn't you hear a word I said?" She glared at me ferociously. "I'm a witch, bitch! And I can take a skinwalker. Now get behind me, you nitwit, and stop pretending to be so macho." For once, I did as she told me to, and ducked behind a table. This was way out of my paygrade.

The skinwalker — if that was what the old lady really was — laughed at Frances. "Little witch, do you really think you can def-" Frances smacked the skinwalker, cutting off its words. It was almost comical, in a horrible way, to see her stare down a monster twice her size.

She grabbed the coat of the skinwalker and pulled it down. With her other palm, she whipped out her lipstick and sketched a strange symbol on its forehead. "Yes," she said triumphantly, as the skinwalker thrashed and screamed in her iron grip, "I totes think I can beat you."

The three waiters exchanged glances with each other, then made a run for the door. Smoothly, Frances capped her lipstick and pulled out a dagger. She threw it expertly at the dark haired waiter, who was almost at the door. The waiter went down like a stone, hitting the floor with a too-loud thump. The other two followed suit soon after.

Almost as an afterthought, Frances pulled out a tiny, pink handgun and shot the skinwalker in the back of the head twice, then did the same for the twitching waiters. "Ugh, I bet Miriam sent those summonings after me," she said casually, turning to me. "She's always so jealous of the guys I pull, you know you know? I kept telling her she's such a red flag, and you know- she kinda needs to change and get a glowup, but does she listen? No, of course not! Who listens to little Frances, am I right?"

I stared blankly at her, then nodded obediently. "Err," I started, trying to arrange my thoughts into coherence, "Thanks for the save earlier, and I'm really sorry for not listening to you, you know?"

Frances beamed at me and pulled me up, leaving my sleeves coated in blood. "Aww, you're so sweet! I'm just glad you're not the sort who can't deal with a girl being stronger than them, you know you know?" She skipped over to the waiters and pulled out the daggers, which I noted to be decorated in eye-wateringly cutesy stickers. "Look, can I invite you over to my place? It won't be nearly as good as here, but I've got some microwave lasagna??"

The sheer hope on her face, and the fact that she had just single handedly taken down the stuff of my nightmares, meant I really couldn't say no.

#one of the most surprising things I've found about actually checking out famous classic novels and movies and whatnot for myself #instead of just believing what I hear #is how often they actually are not what I expected at all #I just read Fahrenheit 451 for example and all I knew was it is one of those books that people always mention #as like a good one to assign in school and that it includes book burning #so naturally I assumed it was some serious book about the dangers of rampant censorship of art and literature #nope instead I got some very weird little book where Ray Bradbury is essentially bemoaning television as being a horrible evil #brain-rotting device and people are just burning books because they don't want to read or think about things anymore #and of course it's mostly idiotic housewives who love the TVs and don't understand the superior stuff like poems and the Bible anymore #And then randomly there's this robot dog with 8 legs that runs around euthanizing anybody who it's programmed to smell? #Anyways I just read the whole nonsense with eyebrows raised like wtf this is so dumb hahaha #Also it had some afterword from Ray Bradbury where he's blaming women and racial minorities and queer people for being the enemies of art #And good aesthetics for daring to mention that perhaps they might want to also be represented in stories a tad more too #ANYWAYS all this to say it seems to me that a lot of the stuff that gets held up as important #Is dumb as hell whenever I actually check it out #And same with movies too but we won't get into all that #p

went to see the barbie movie a few days ago and hm. weird

#spoilers for the tags and also a slight little rant #for a movie all about girls and woman it sure was all about men #and made a pregnant woman the butt of the joke just bc she was pregnant #and there’s a whole segment at the beginning where a barbie is all ‘my emotions make me stronger =)’ and then later barbie just gives up #and sobs on the ground #a character calls barbie ‘white savior barbie’ after she did literally nothing to be called a white savior #and later that same character goes ‘that’s cultural appropriation’ when her DAD tries to learn spanish bc her MOTHER SPEAKS SPANISH. #their whole patriarchy plot was weird and dumb and preachy and poorly executed #and overall he plot was just.. messy ig?? idk it was a weird experience #it also felt like mattel giving themselves a pat on the back for diversity that they (to my knowledge) do not have #and everything with the kens was odd and weird and unnecessary #it was so preachy and then it turned around and did the exact opposite thing #i thought this movie was going to be about how barbie is an intergenerational experience for so many woman #and that she brings together so many woman no matter their differences #and it was almost that. esp at the beginning #and then it turned into a weird hypocritical messy story that really had no memorable message or theme #and bro ken was so badly written. everything was badly written but especially ken. #anyways there was a wonderful scene where barbie told an old lady that she was beautiful and she replied with ‘i know’ #which would be lovely if the main reason Barbie was on her quest wasn’t because she was getting cellulite and on the path to becoming ‘ugly’ #uhhhshfjks yeah bad movie. lots of weird messy things. #this is more than a slight little rant oopsies #my bad i’m opinionated #this isn’t even the half of it too lmao #negativity #rant #ranting #allan and weird barbie were great tho #and the acting costumes set effects cinematography etc. were outstanding #it’s just the writing that was Fucked #there were absolutely good things but so much of it was just. hm. idk i can’t rlly explain in just he tumblr tags that well lmaoo

i feel like. when it comes to stories and various media adaptations. some people are so obtuse and their reluctance to accept multiple interpretations of fiction especially those that are ambiguous by design. feels so childish and stupid

im just saying like. anyone who goes ‘jo x laurie shippers are so stupid for liking them didnt you know the writer didnt want them to be together?’ only to say ‘jo and freidrich are soooo cute!!!!’ are deluded in a way no one can ever save

#personal #the reason why is that louisa may alcott did not want jo marrying anyone #thinking jo x whats his face is sooooo couple goals not only spits in the face of what louisa wanted for herself #but is dumb bc like who cares WHO CARES #im talking about the 2019 adaptation btw #i saw someone say yeah its so obvious jo has zero feelings for laurie and ugh i dont get why greta gerwig made her write that letter #it made nooooo sense #AND PROCEEDED TO ASSERT THAT EVERYONE WHO LIKED JOLAURIE IS LIKE CRAZY AND STUPID OR SOMETHING #like woefully refusing to admit a scene should exist in a movie #when it is there for A REASONNNN #makes u more stupid than ever #refusing to accept that multiple different conclusions can be made and justified….. #like the whole thing about jolaurie in little women 2019 to me that is so epic #is that it is not black and white!!!! #it is not as simple as her having zero feelings and not loving laurie and him only being a friend to her #it is that she did not want things to change!!!! #she saw marriage and therefore romantic love as a trap!! jail!!! inevitable disaster!!! #and that is not a bad interpretation of her character? #because there are people who feel the same way? that exist in the world? #thinking so isnt problematic bc these characters are not fucking real #and no matter how louisa may alcott lived her life #death of the author doesnt mean i hate the author so im ignoring her perspective #its that stories can adapt and stretch and transform #and be seen in so many different ways!!!! that people can look at in #and that being stubborn about one interpretation and assuming anyone who thinks differently is invalid………

[vulcanhello]

#theyre insane #tos #captain’s log #trek books #i think ive actually seen this posted here before but it truly is so funny #im not really liking the whole vulcan artifacts being theived side story & i think spock is beint annoying about it its a tried trope imo #the kid not feeling trusted by adults and miscommunication leading to dumb stuff trope. i think ill just go watch a disney channel movie #and if im being real spock is not only annoying he is STUPID. not fun stupid actually stupid. still love him tho #oh actually sam kirk for read said that ‘its not my dream dad. its YOURS’ line which. has there ever been a midtier teen comedy that DIDNT #have that in the script #im raggin on it but im acutally enjoying this fr

You can basically bet your life on the fact that as soon as a tv show/movie starts to deal with explicit themes and ideas of christianity, it employs the most infantile concepts and perspectives on and of those ideas.

Which is such a shame to anybody who has ever embarked on a spiritual (christian or other) path that goes beyond a childish belief system and digs deeper into mysticism etc..

Those movies/tv shows aren't "wrong"... In a way, they just copy the prevalent concept of non-believers what it means to belief in a "christian" god ...or whatever. Mostly it's a a very strict black/white belief structure that's typical for what you believe as a child. You could also argue that many who call themselves practicing christians, never go beyond that stage.

The actual more mature, more chaotic, more complex B E L I E F s are so much more interesting and complicated.

Faith in many/most cases isn't just a dumb excuse to ease yourself into accepting death LOL. I mean...yes, there are a lot of dumb christians but ...that level of idiocy is reserved for the infantile bunch with their ongoing projection of daddy issues onto god and their obsession with formalities and whatnot. Anyway...people do not only trick themselves into some shit. They all know that death will come for them. What makes them believe is a freedom in the here and now that is not fixated on the idea of paradise or ressurrection (which is a thing that noone can fully grasp in any detail) AFTER death, necessarily. A freedom rooted in a deep sense of belonging, not to a group or even a set of rules. But a belonging to the whole, to everyone and everything. ;-)

#I loved The Leftovers but when it dealt with what supposedly a modern priest believes I was like....... #PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH #same goes for soooooo many movies #watched white noise last night and loved it but once again #yes it could be a take on nuns etc who don't even believe anymore etc but #that's so rare #believing in G*D doesn't mean to knowingly believe in magic or something that “doesn't really exist” #ROFL #It's so much more rooted in actual life with a pinch of mystery... #the problem is with stories that incorporate christian faith but only add the childish version #the instantly become sort of dumb lol #in that moment #I'm not saying I don't like white noise for that tine little thing #but it's....a thing #in the end to me it's a sign of how christianity basically killed itself with all its stupidity and the whole roman catholic bullshit thing #not to forget protestant pietist bullshit that paved the way for shitty neoliberal capitalist colonial systems #that basically killed entire ecosystems

Probably the caffeine I had earlier and the fact that I havent eaten much cause eating christmas tamales for like the last 4 days wrecked my digestive system, but I feel truly and unfathomably disgusting....

#the caffeine was literally a can of coke im that stupidly sensitive to caffeine #i watched a movie where like one of the main love interests died young and the other one didnt know after #they were forced to separate and my mind went absolutely batshit spiraling over something so dumb aksnskdndksna #like i really went from imagine how youd always have that person shaped whole in your heart -> omg what i missed out on my person #cause my mental illness has kept me in my house for the last almost 7 years -> good god im frankly unlovable because i have so much to fix #osnksdnskdkdndks im finally calming down but 🤢🤢 also throw in some delightful intrusive thoughts in between #truly a recipe for disaster i hate this shit

[lowkeyorloki]

Idk if it's unpopular but as someone who enjoy movies and cinema, most MCU movies are fun but not good movies from a technical standpoint. Yes they're fun and I love them but they have a lot of technical flaws...

#oh this is true for sure #lately I’ve been struggling to even rewatch the movies I do like because #1: they’re the same plot #good guy gets powers #bad guy gets powers or is out in a position of power #they fight. good guy loses :( #training montage and rushed kiss with rushed love interest #they fight. good guy wins this time! mediocre after credits scene #but what’s worse is the quips. the jokes #oh my god shut up #it works for guardians or ragnarok #but the whole dumb joke to cut through dramatic moments are sooooo lame #the ‘well. that just happened’ of it all is so 🫠

#obsessed with the thing where two characters go through SHIT together but like end up together in the end and it’s like that’s truly their #person because nobody else went through that like they did?? it’s like a shared trauma??? #i’m dumb and i know there’s probably a name for that trope but i’m stupid i already said that CKSKSK #i just #it makes me so happy to see it cause like they can probably look back on those moments and know that the person they loved was with them the #whole time right by their side #and nobody else gets it!! it’s just #i need to go to bed #and NO this is not about stranger things…… or a disney movie i will not share the name of #leave me alone #shut up chelsea
