UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don't care ab what yall say the movies were good. They’re way more beginners friendly (even thought most people who would watch probaly already knew a bit about greek mythology they explained to the ones who wouldn’t know), they had one of the Goddess speak Greek, they had a Greek Actress to play a Goddes and they actually used the Greek letters rigth ( they didn't use D's as A's or S's as E's >wich is one of the things that walways annoys me in American TV who decides to use Greece/Greek as purely a Aesthetic)
They had things different than the books? Yes but a lot of adaptations suffer from it, when we read a book we get an inside of the Characters mind and the only way of achiving in movies and tv series would be by using V.O narration that gets boring really fast and becomes a gateway to tell instead of showing (First Rule: Show don't Tell)
In the movie they show the gods not being good parents but they still had scenes when we could see they cared for their children so we could see way Luke would want war but we also see that is way more extreme solution than the problem. In the Series (SPOILER FOR THE NEWEST EPISODE) we see Athena letting Echidna and the chimera inside her Temple, a place that should've been a safe heaven for these 3 (2 and a half) kids just bc she didn't liked Percy sending the Medusa's head to them ( Yes is a great comeback to Medusa's "i wasn't like you i was you" line wich is great in a story telling but i'm still icked that they used a Roman version on a "Greek" show) what makes Luke wanting war and dethroning the gods a way more accurate response to their neclect.
Over all i just feel like the movies had a bigger care to make they look and feel like Greeks and the show is only using it for aesthetics (what was probably also the reason on the books)
Girl (gn) pick a lane. You are either "Morally superior" than the rest of the internet or you are using AI "art"
This stratospheric level of egoism is mindblowing and disturing to me.
As someone with diagnosed with PTSD, no, being deceived by an author you never met is not trauma. You can’t call every uncomfortable or painful experience trauma. You’re making the word lose impact and meaning.
"He violated us too" No. How tonedeaf can you be? How tactless? Making someone's else rape about you? No, you haven't been violated. He didn’t put his fucking hands on you. Those two experiences are not even remotely comparable, and the fact that you think they are is seriously worrying. You mentioned talking to your therapist about it— yeah, you really should.
"Time to grieve" no one died. The actual, real victims deserve to grieve the life and peace of mind they lost.
I'm not saying you can’t feel betrayed by an author you loved for a long time, but the least you could do is not make someone's else rape about you.
I think buddie first kiss should happen in the rain for no reason other than most iconic couples have their first kiss in the rain. ... and because having water involved forces them to give Buck curly hair and i love Buck with his curly hair
I am reading this fascinating paper 'Education and Aristocratic Childhood in Late Imperial Russia' by Zbyněk Vydra, and came across this paragraph that I think sums up what makes the former Russian Empire so interesting:
It is also impossible to deal with the nobility as a whole. The simple reason being that the hereditary nobility in Russia was very heterogeneous and numerous. At the end of the 19th century, there were about 1.2 million people, i.e. around 200,000 families. Within one estate (soslovie) it stretched from close proximity to the imperial throne, the world of the St. Petersburg and Moscow palaces, through the bureaucratic nobility in sleepy provincial towns, to impoverished nobles eking out a living at the level of wealthier peasants in the remote countryside. We are mainly interested in the part of the nobility situated at the highest level ‒ the aristocracy.
It is impossible to reference the nobility in this setting as a shorthand for one form of life. When using it as inspiration in a fantasy setting, like Bardugo does, there is an opportunity for a rich variety of people who set themselves apart from the peasantry. It brings in questions of origin and history, rather than wealth and power, and it can hint at changing fortunes and societal landslides.
Ok, but I’ve seen no one talk about the representation of Bob’s manic episode as Sentry. Hear me out.
He describes himself in the movie as having really high highs and really low lows. They never use the word but that’s clearly bipolar he’s describing. A manic episode followed by a depressive one.
The Void is clearly the representation of his depressive episode. Obviously. But I really think that fight as blonde boy Sentry was his mania.
It’s not the typical manic depiction we’re used to seeing, he’s very very calm during that scene. But a lot of times when experiencing mania people describe themselves as feeling indestructible, unstoppable. Bob literally calls himself a god. That’s, that’s mania, babes.
His mental health manifests in his powers. He literally becomes indestructible. He literally becomes nothing, a void.
In addition: In the end credit scene he says he can’t be Sentry without also being The Void. They go hand in hand, just like bipolar. Now, I know nothing about this guy’s comic counterpart, but going off of what the movie has shown us, I’m assuming that if he gets his mental health managed, he’s going to have both power sets. He’s going to have the Superman like powers and the shadow like powers. They’re intermingled.
Why stan Twitter is worried rigth now about a white, rich, straight man celebrity more than they are worried about the people who will actually suffer the next 4 years?
I think I'm gonna hold on for the hope up until the finale, bc I still think the timing is off, but if Bobby is really dead idk if I will keep watching this show even if they do it buddie canon
This is super shitty, this was supposed to be my comfort show
Ok but imagine this:
Season 8 ends with one of them (Eddie) realizing his fellings for the other (Buck) and the first part of season 9 is he (Eddie) flirting with the other while he (Buck) is completely oblivious to it and the middle season finale is their confession/ first kiss scene.
I actually may write a fanfic for this
Because the avengers movies didnt really try to make them a family they only told us that while the GOTG movies really give the team time to become a family
The moment I knew guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 would be good was in the first 5 minutes, when Peter fell from being drunk and they actually cared about him and put him in bed. As soon as he fell, I was SO ready for them to play it off as a laugh. I was so sure of it, because every other marvel movie would have done that. That’s *exactly* what they did with Thor in Endgame.
But no. Rocket looked at him in sympathy and all the guardians asked how he was doing and Nebula tucked him into bed (which I ALSO thought they would make a joke of! But they didn’t!) and they treated him with love. I have a lot of feelings about this movie and why it wasn’t trash like a lot of other recent marvel movies, but I think the main reason was that they actually made the characters care about each other right from the get-go.
