A conversation between Napstabot EX and Mettaton with Professor X's legs
I love how people complain that Spider-man 3 and Amazing Spider-man 2 has too many villains than fucking Spider-man into the Spider-verse bursts into here with six villains plus six to eight Spider-people and becomes the greatest spider-man movie of all time.
(So this is basically a theory I came up with to explain all the wildly different interpretations of canon Chara and how practically all of them are correct)
Chara A: The Chara that existed from their birth to their death. A self loathing, Misanthropic with Psychopathic traits. Though, this version of Chara isn’t an actual Psychopath. Despite being a dick, they still care deeply for their family and monsterkind, and was willing to sacrifice their own life in order for them to be free. Albeit, along with their own goal of purging humanity.
Chara B: The Chara created during the Neutral Run. This version of Chara is probably the least developed since unlike the pacifist and Genocide, none of the player’s actions really reawaken Chara, so this one has the least personality.
Chara C: The Chara created during the Pacifist Run. Learns to forgive humanity and overcome their violent nature through peace.
Chara D: The Chara created during the Genocide Run all because of the Player’s actions. A sociopathic serial killer who just wants to see everything wiped out.
Into the Spider-verse possesses incredibly unique and imaginative animation that is a perfect blend of so many different styles that it creates something fresh. Though I think what elevates it above its peers is just how much it feels like a comic book.
While some people would point to other films such as Superman and the Avengers and refer to them as comic book movies, they lack any elements from the medium. Remember, Comic books are not restricted to only superhero stories. They can tell whatever story the author wants.
Into the Spider-verse cements itself as a comic book movie by bringing in elements from the medium. The most obvious being the thought boxes and onomatopoeias though the details go beyond just that. Background Characters are animated with much less detail because that's what you do in a comic book. The designs of each Spidey costume and some Spidey people have this comic booky feel to it due to both the poppy colours and 2d feel to it. Motion moves like a stop motion without ever feeling choppy or rough. Instead, it comes off like each frame is its own panel in a comic with us having to imagine the in betweens. Anyone who's read a comic book knows what I'm talking about, half the fun comes not from looking at what is drawn but imagining what isn't.
Though what really makes this is a comic book movie is that there are certain scenes where if you pause it and ask a person who hasn't heard of spider-verse, if you can find them, is said frame from a comic book/still piece of art or animation, I bet quiet a few would say the former.
It's hard to put what I've noticed into words though if you read comic books a lot, I'm sure you can see just how heavily into the spider-verse takes elements from said medium.
I'm Chinese, how come we're not all getting blamed for China's genocide and colonization against the Uyghurs? Meanwhile Jewish people are all getting attacked for Israel's killing of Palestine civilians. This seems like a double standard to me.
A conversation between Prosecutor!Undyne and Mettaton EX
A conversation between Shittaton and W.D. Gaster
When looking at Jimmy's rape of Anya and Curly's failure to address it, I think it's important to recognize Pony Express's own role in it. Like with other workplaces, Pony Express's policies not only enables but encourages and protects Rapists. Within the opening scene, when Jimmy steers the ship towards the asteroid, the entire crew has their pay docked despite being completely unaware of what Jimmy is doing. Just like the crash, Pony Express's policies forces the entire crew to bare the consequences of Jimmy's actions. Rather than discourage Jimmy's actions, all it does is punish the rest of the crew as well. Anya was afraid to speak up about Jimmy raping her not only because the power he held over her as Co-Captain and him being Curly's best friend, but also the fear that if she speaks than she and the rest of her crewmates would be punished as well. She, along with everyone else except Daisuke and maybe Curly, were all struggling financially as well. If Anya's rape was reported to Pony Express, then the crew's entire pay would be docked. They would punish Anya and the rest of the crew for her pregnancy. So instead, she remains quiet and is forced to endure Jimmy's abuse and sexual harassment until her pregnancy puts her in a place where she can longer hide it. Furthermore, asides from Curly's own enabling of Jimmy's horrid actions and his own misplaced empathy, Pony Express policies discouraged Jimmy from taking action. Yet unlike Anya, Curly's ignorant to just how awful Pony Express is. While we don't know exactly how long Curly's been working for Pony Express, like his friendship with Jimmy, we can assume it's been for a while. And like his friendship with Jimmy, Curly is not only ignorant towards, but also downplays and excuses Pony Express's harmful behavior.
Anya: "Why do you think Pony Express puts a lock on the medical room doors but not the sleeping quarters?" Curly: "I suppose for the same reason they put a lock on the cockpit. Safety." Rather than recognize the lack of privacy for his crewmates as a problem, he instead tries to excuse and rationalize Pony Express's actions. Similar to how he tries to rationalize Jimmy's awful character. Curly's employment with Pony Express mirrors his friendship with Jimmy where his passivity enables their abusive behavior and hurts those around him as well. Not only does Curly refuse to speak up or do anything about Anya's rape or the lack of locks, but he also: 1) Fails to object when they're forced to take in an intern despite only having enough resources and cryopods for 4 people. 2) Doesn't say anything about the unsafe working environment for both Swansea and Daisuke. 3) How Anya's not only the nurse but also women on the ship while everyone. Like with Jimmy, Curly's blind loyalty and passivity towards Pony Express, enables their awful abuse. Instead of doing the right thing and accept the consequences that come with it, he instead chooses to remain blind and takes the easy way out. Now none of this excuses either Jimmy's or Curly's actions or lack thereof. Jimmy's still responsible for raping Anya, trying to kill everyone in a suicide crash and forcing everyone to suffer. Meanwhile, Curly's the one who decided to hire Jimmy as Co-Captain despite being aware that he's an Ex-con, not Pony Express. Yes, they allowed it when they shouldn't of, but it was ultimately Curly's decision to hire him. And Curly still holds the blame for placing his friendship with Jimmy over Anya's safety and the rest of his crew. However, Pony Express's policies and workplace culture created an environment where Anya is forced to remain silent, Jimmy's sexual abuse of her is enabled, and the only person able to help her, Curly, is too submissive towards them both for him to be of any of help.
here my stupid ass talk and complain about stupid ass shit. I'm probably gonna piss a few, a lot, most, everyone with the shit that spews out of my mouth.
