Maybe I’m wrong but it feels obvious WB is just juicing as much as they can from either bidder .

I think this is Netflix calling their bluff and going “oh paramounts deal is better? Ok prove it. take it!”

X · Feb 26, 2026, 11:01 PM

[cold sequoia]

WB is obligated to take the best offer, in a cash only deal which both if these are the best offer is pretty qualitative

[fair dirge]

Yes, all they want is money. I think the CEO was going to pocket 500 million from the Netflix deal, straight into his account

[heavy anchor]

I wouldn't say all millionaires are but I am of the opinion that all billionaires are evil

You do not make that much money without creating misery

[cold sequoia]

The benefit to the CEO isnt really relevant, its a legal matter for shareholder value

If you could just bribe the ceo to somehow force the board to accept the deal then I think thats all companies would do

[fair dirge]

My father is the head of the second largest water brand in my country, and believe me, it's not quite what you think

But anyway, I feel like I'm going around in circles about something that's very simple: money.

[turbid narwhal]

Doubt Netflix are doing this, they’re getting a 3 billion break up fee if Warner accepts paramounts offer

[hushed moss]

I would consider sacrificing ethics for financial gain one of the very definitions of evil.

[dusk hound]

Not to mention

Paramount is like

Hilariously bad at finances

DC might genuinely be screwed

[fair dirge]

I believe there are ways and ways to get rich, unless you don't see the difference between how Netflix makes money and how a mafia does

And if I get philosophical, wealth is morally neutral in itself; what matters is the method. Watching movies is a leisure activity that doesn't obligate anyone to pay to see them; it's entertainment, not food or water

at least in this case

[molten jetty]

OPLA S2 ||HE DID THE THING||

[placid river]

Not sure if Gunn is out, but wouldn’t shock me if the Ellisons try to seriously sanitize the “political” content at DC

[fair dirge]

If that were to happen, it wouldn't be because they're evil people.

It's because they're fools lol

[lucid haven]

I would argue that the realities of the current global financial landscape means that specific levels of wealth do have morally evil things attached to them inherintly

[hushed moss]

I have less issues with Paramount than I have with Ellison. But that is beyond the scope of this channel.

[lucid haven]

Yeah i tried to keep my statement as on topic as possible. I believe that media companies at specific ammojnts of wealth and influence are inherently evil

[hushed moss]

Yeah that wasn’t a response to you specifically just a general summary of my feelings on this topic.

[lucid haven]

I was just agreeing with you

[cold sequoia]

This is thoroughly outside the scope of this channel

[fair dirge]

oh, ye, srry

I think I'll leave it here

[lone canyon]

It’s joever

[dusk hound]

I just can’t help but think all DC content is beyond cooked

[lone canyon]

It’s less about the company being evil and more about these large scale mergers being inherently concerning, but moreso than usual now because of the political interference going on

[gray orbit]

I’d imagine Snyder would come back

[cold sequoia]

fyi I think anything further than this on political mergers would be breaking the politics rule

[lone canyon]

Sorry, I’ll stop

Does the merger include the game of thrones tv franchises though?

[dusk hound]

I still feel like this saga is far from over

[winged mountain]

Yes, it’s under the HBO brand which is under WB

[gray orbit]

Yes and it also includes last of us show and the upcoming BG3 adaptation

[lone canyon]

Holy crap

Damn

Bad enough they have Star Trek lmao

[winged mountain]

I’m not really inclined to speculate on the creative implications, concerns are valid but feel a little sensationalized? Still, all this consolidation is never exactly good

[lone canyon]

Well, I do think there is a broad cultural shift away from focusing on representation in media because of very vocal online backlash. I think the nature and degree of this shift is like… to be determined tbh

[dusk hound]

But honestly I think DC stays the course tbh

[oak ivy]

also very dependent on medium

if you only experience high budget film projects you might get hit

i think smaller stuff is doing better than ever

[dusk hound]

The DCU is like… probably the LAST thing on Ellison’s mind rn

[lone canyon]

I’ve read some articles about lgbt rep in particular dropping over the past two years (on TV)

It’s 28% in 2022 vs 23% in 2024 (not sure how they crunched the numbers)

It could mean fewer but higher quality and more nuanced lgbt oriented characters… or it could be a complete concession to the gamergate crowd

[lucid haven]

I would suggest that its more indicative of worrying global trends right now rather than something like "consession to gamergate"

[lone canyon]

They are not mutually exclusive but I’m trying to keep it within the bounds of this server lol

[lucid haven]

Okay yeah, im with you then, not mutually exclusive

[gritty sierra]

so i finished bridgerton s4 part 2 and i DID cry. a couple times

||the yuri of it all 😭 ||

bridgerton s4p2 ||every time women touched hands and smiled at each other and laughed i cried okay||

||also mrs alice mondrich is possibly probably the most beautiful woman in the show ||

[burnt shale]

i feel like book readers are way harder on unfinished media than movies and tv so many series i like will never be finished

[winged mountain]

It probably stings a little less when the reason the story you love is unfinished is ‘big bad megacorp is pinching pennies’, compared to ‘author just didn’t’

Also probably easier to move on for a fan because you get a clear ‘no’

[oak ivy]

I think it is because there is no filter between the creators and the audience. Typically if a show gets cancelled it is because of the network, not bc the showrunners just didnt write scripts

Ironically game of thrones is an exception to this

Why does Atreus look like Hasbulla

[gray orbit]

The makeup needs to have effort

[civic trellis]

I don't know how to explain this but these characters don't look like they were in the same location when that photo was taken

[topaz oyster]

Gotta be AI, right?

They just got cast in the last like two months

[dusk hound]

Nope, it’s legit

Prime posted it

[cold sequoia]

kratos looks like danny mcbride in this screenshot

[topaz oyster]

That doesn't mean it isn't AI

[cold sequoia]

this looks like a normal first look set photo

2 months to get costumes assembled seems eminently doable

[agile drift]

I haven't actually played the game but I think maybe a bit of the uncanniness is that Kratos looks too close to the game? Something about the arm wraps and the pauldron seem far more like intentionally constructed things to make him look cool and so it feels more like a video game/has a more digital feel

Just a thought I pulled out of my ass

[dusk hound]

Even Zaslav doesn’t think the deal is gonna close https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/2027432390130376740?s=20

DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm)

Leaked audio from a company-wide meeting has revealed that David Zaslav thinks it will take at least 6-12 months for the Warner Bros/Paramount deal to close.

“The deal may not close. If it doesn't close, we get $7 billion, and we get back to work.”

X · Feb 27, 2026, 5:15 PM

[winged mountain]

companies of this size have a massive international presence, so yeah, it'll be complicated and take a long time

[dusk hound]

If it even goes through we won’t start seeing the effects of it until like early 2029

[winged mountain]

I think that, for the intents and purposes of something like DC, that's probably true, though some other WB-Discovery things might see effects much sooner

they're taking on an insane amount of debt to make this happen, and I think certain non-profitable products might be on the chopping block pretty quickly

[dusk hound]

James Gunn if you can hear me greenlight as many projects as you can before Ellison fires you

[winged mountain]

also it's worth noting that when Paramount's sale to Skydance was pending (not finished yet), Paramount had done some things believed to have been at Skydance's direction, even though Skydance didn't actually own them yet. Like, South Park had a 10-year renewal deal that Skydance apparently interfered with, delaying their season until they came to a revised agreement for a 5 year renewal at the same annual rate

they're theoretically not allowed to interfere before the deal is done but theory may not stop them

[dusk hound]

I’ve been seeing a lot of DCU fans panicking about this news and rightfully so, but I doubt Gunn and Safran are out once this deal goes through

Especially since they just gave WB their most profitable DC movie in like a decade

And it’s clear that Zaslav likes Gunn and Safran heading the DC division

[fair dirge]

One thing I've seen is that some people say that Paramount just paid more than they're going to be able to earn for Warner

And that in the end both will be bankrupt and Netflix will buy both of them

[winged mountain]

it'll take a long time for things to get that bad, maybe 10 years, but who knows? Maybe

[dusk hound]

Exactly

I’m just seeing so much dooming about this from DC fans on my timeline

And I’m trying to ignore

But it’s hard

[fair dirge]

I don't know if DC has much to worry about, if it's a money making machine they'll leave it as it is

There are other reasons but I think mentioning them is against the rules

[wet quest]

What is the fastest way to learn those things?

[wet quest]

I think the weirdness come from the set more than the characters. It looks like this picture was taken with a few props in reality and a fake background. Wether it was rear projection or green screen or volume is hard to say from the picture, but that to me is what looks off.

[civic trellis]

hm... yeah, i can see that

it does have a bit of that "primary school photo day" quality

Something that would be a crime for most people but not if you’re obscenely wealthy

[keen flax]

111 BILLION????

[feral grail]

it was a joke

[topaz oyster]

Illiquid is not the same as broke

[frank quail]

rich people never have enough cash on hand? that's not how they do money

they get loans with their assests as collateral

[dusk hound]

Literally everything about this deal is horrible financially

My bet is on it falling apart before it even crosses the finish line

And WB stays independent

[topaz oyster]

Who knows, that might be the intent here

Might be worth it to Paramount and friends to see WB stay out of the hands of Netflix, even to the tune of billions in penalties

Something that the traditional media companies have been fairly successful in doing the last ~10 years is starving Netflix of legacy programming

This might be part of that, among other things

[dusk hound]

Either way I think Netflix is being smart here, because even if this deal goes through, this is going to put Paramount more into the trenches of debt

And then Netflix comes in like 10 years when Paramount sells and picks up the scraps

For much less too

[ivory night]

I think there is a possibility that oracle running into trouble might cause some problems

[cold sequoia]

According to a September regulatory filing, Ellison had 346 million pledged Oracle shares “to fund outside personal business ventures.” They were worth more than $100 billion then and about $50 billion now. Even at the lower end, that’s enough to cover Ellison’s commitment without him selling a single Oracle share and triggering a selloff. No need to sell the crown jewels if you can mortgage them instead.

The article is focused on the oracle stock that he has earmarked as for personal use, basically they are saying if the stock price drops further then he'll need more loans (banks have already loaned $57.5 billion and Ellison has to get the rest)

I think barring a big oracle stock drop its a nonstory but it is interesting

[dusk hound]

Like… even ZASLAV HIMSELF thinks this might not go through

Like, a free 7 billion has to be enticing for Zaslav at least

[cold sequoia]

Of larger concern is that if the deal isnt closed by October then the price per share starts ticking up. The question is how long it gets held up by regulators from around the world

[ivory night]

Ehhhhhhhhh that’s more ass covering than anything

[dusk hound]

I’m also not a business major so I digress

[cold sequoia]

For instance California will try to carve out protections for entertainment workers and suppliers which will slow stuff down

[dusk hound]

California is absolutely going to be a factor here too yeah

The AG has already made a post saying they’ll heavily scrutinize this

I dont want to get you hopes uo Ryan, the deal is probably going to go through just with a higher price tag

It sure was

I wasn't sure if I was gonna watch it because of that tbh

And yeah you can definitely feel that the rewrites caused some problems

Hence why I call it neo-Scream 3

[feral grail]

all the kinda mid long running slasher franchises kinda fit into that same bubble for me

[wise epoch]

Scream isn't mid imo, Scream is actually very consistent

Shockingly so given the usual track record

I haven't seen Scary Movie so I can't comment

But Scream doesn't fall into a lot of the issues other horror movies have over the years

[feral grail]

Scary movie is bad

[wise epoch]

Even the weak movies have issues primarily stemming from way too many rewrites, rather than any issues of sequelitis like most other horror franchises

And they're usually one off problems that aren't replicated in future movies

Scary movie is like many comedies wheres theres loads of weird bigoted stuff and there isnt any funny stuff at all to make it even enjoyable at all

[lone canyon]

Apparently a game of thrones conquest movie is in development?

Do not want

[crystal brook]

Yeah theres been a lot of chatter about it over the past few weeks

In development is like the mistborn film being in development for the past 5 or 6 years though

[turbid narwhal]

beau willimon is a great writer but a conquest movie would be so boring

[crystal brook]

Asoiaf ||Give me the life and times of Maegor the Cruel instead||

||With zombie Maegor||

But yeah theres lots more interesting stuff over the conquest

Do a trilogy of films about the real conquest of England over Aegon's conquest

[lone canyon]

Maegor as the protagonist and we see him get more and more unhinged

[crystal brook]

Start it with the death of Alfred the Great

[gray orbit]

Shaun Mendes is executive producer of this btw

[naive mica]

Man Max's bangs are just like a quarter inch too short

I wonder if that's just a random promo pic or if that's her look from the show

So the Lanterns trailer got leaked

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-speed-stream-ishowspeed-stream-speed-nod-gif-1082323842437565509

I’m not watching it tho, waiting for tomorrow

[dusk hound]

Paging @keen flax because I think she was excited for this show

[keen flax]

I was!! XD

I mentally sent the prancing eevee gif but then I got distracted

[dusk hound]

https://youtu.be/Z1jcPlGXnMo?si=J4559NeOs-dS8zAP

It released early

[lucid haven]

👀

I love the mention of the alien and squirrel lanterns

Also it seems a relativly grounded realistic 1st season thst isnt super flashy

Or super galactic

[cold sequoia]

I am interested in the show because of the creatives involved, not a very interesting trailer

[dusk hound]

Ch’p being mentioned is amazing

That’s all I need

Maybe he was the squirrel that Superman saved

[heavy anchor]

Huh old man Jordan, neat way to take it

[dusk hound]

All in all the trailer looks good! Definitely nothing groundbreaking since it’s just a teaser

Hal’s suit is definitely… meh but it’s whatever, I’m sure it’ll look better when he actually wears it

[dusk hound]

Lanterns trailer ||I also wonder why Hal says that he’s the only human GL?||

||I wonder if this takes place in this past before Guy gets the ring?||

||Maybe he just hates Guy for selling out to LordTech so he doesn’t even consider him a GL||

[spring barn]

John Woo my GOAT

[west escarp]

Hey I think they forgot to put the green in the green lantern adaption

[spring barn]

Lanterns trailer visually reminded me of OBAA

[spring barn]

Honestly feels like they kept it out intentionally

[west escarp]

Adapt comic book series
Fail to put the fun comic book elements in it
????

And this after the movie that learned into the fun comic book elements did amazing

[dusk hound]

They’re definitely holding back

A lot of the fun stuff is gonna be in the show

I just don’t think a lot of the CGI is done yet

[distant birch]

Unfortunately I'm not super hyped from that trailer

[west escarp]

My dad is excited for Ch’p at least

[dusk hound]

It does feel like DC needs a change in their trailer editing department because between the Supergirl trailer and that, we need a change

Plus I think Gunn himself said that the season will go cosmic and fantastical at some point

[distant birch]

I feel like my gripes with the lanterns trailer are the same as my gripes with the supergirl trailer but dialed up

Why are we adapting cool crazy space stories and then taking away all the cool visual aspects

[dusk hound]

I think it’s just a fault of trailer editing and marketing tbh

Even the first look at the Superman suit was HORRIBLE

Everyone was trashing it

[distant birch]

Yeah, it is quite possible the movie/show has what I want and they're just not showing it

Which, if that's the case, will make me even more grumpy about the trailers specifically

[dusk hound]

I kinda knew the show was gonna be like this anyway

Literally the first thing Gunn said about it was “it’s True Detective but Green Lanterns”

Maybe I’m just too optimistic idk

[cold sequoia]

I think the premise and the people attached to it are very promising

[dusk hound]

They’re probably not revealing too much because the trailers for Superman showed EVERYTHING

I think they’ve learned their lesson

[distant birch]

I don't think it necessarily looks like a bad show I'm just like... is this really the first GL thing we're getting?

[spring barn]

I think they're intentionally holding it back for this teaser

I'm gonna wait before commenting any further

[crystal brook]

Its what 😂

Ok I watched the trailer and it doesnt give those vibes to me tbh, but it could have just been edited to attract the superhero audience

[dusk hound]

I don’t think it will, but I hope the DCU isn’t afraid to embrace colorfulness

These movies need to be colorful

Even the MCU wasn’t colorful in Phase One

But Superman was EXTREMELY colorful so I’m not concerned about that

And Peacemaker too honestly

[green fjord]

🤔 An otherwise pretty gritty colour palette could make the lantern effects pop in contrast perhaps, if done well.

[dusk hound]

I definitely am curious why they released a trailer THIS early too

It comes out in August

That's definitely the impression i get of the intent

[dusk hound]

Just so you guys know I will be VERY normal when we get Man of Tomorrow set photos

[buoyant scroll]

The juxtaposition of the gritty color and the detective story tone with the bright color and wonder of a Lantern

True Detective+Lanterns ||itd be very funny if they do a King in Yellow bit with Yellow Lanterns xD||

[oak ivy]

The lack of green seems intentional

[inland jetty]

||I am such a sucker for King in Yellow content, that would get me on board to at least give it a try immediately||

I gotta watch True Detective some day. And also finish reading that book.

[dusk hound]

True Detective season 1 is genuinely in my top 5 shows of all time

It’s SO GOOD

[crystal brook]

Season 1 is sooooo good

[dusk hound]

Genuinely one of the best seasons of a show ever

[crystal brook]

TD s1 ||The long take with no cuts at the end of one of the episodes, maybe episode 5, is one of my favorite scenes ever||

||and then it plays a badass nick cave song over the credits directly after which gives it even more bonus points||

||Its episode 4||

Im such a sucker for one shot takes, Adolescence was so fascinating to me because of this

Just thinking about the logistics of 4 hour long one shot episodes with so many moving parts to most of them blows my mind

One of the central characters being played by a 14 year old doing his first ever professional role and being absolutely outstanding too

X · Mar 5, 2026, 1:20 AM

[lucid haven]

Thats so hilarious

And like im actually glad they dont lean into how ridiculously cartoony other "live action" green lanturn things have been

Like in superman I think it was fine and looked good but other things not so much

[dusk hound]

I think it’s more to restore the general public’s view on Green Lantern

I don’t think people realize how badly the 2011 movie ruined the general audiences view of Green Lantern

This is definitely made to have people take it more seriously

And then it’ll obviously go cosmic

[lucid haven]

Oh yeah from everything i know theres no chance they can make a TV series called lanturns with out you know showing the lanturns

[molten jetty]

OPLA S2 (Netflix loading screen thing) and manga all

||YO HO HO HO||

[ionic lily]

It was so good!

PHM movie ||It was very close to the book, they didn’t cut out much. There was more focus on the prep for the Hail Mary rather than the warming of the world, which worked well. Ryan Gosling was amazing as Grace! Fit him perfectly, and Rocky was just as adorable as expected||

[agile drift]

I'm so mad, I got invited to a free imax screening of phm but have class at that time and I can't miss

[heavy anchor]

How in the world did you get to see it so early 😭

[ionic lily]

My local astronomical society was given some tickets

[minor isle]

I think it needs to have variety

have some movies very gritty, some movies colorful, some movies serious, some fun

[distant birch]

I just think lanterns is the wrong choice for the gritty realistic look

Although I do appreciate the merits of starting off like that to get more of an audience

[distant birch]

I am tentatively interested in what the story of the show is gonna be

General GL lore ||I wonder if the lack of green is an intentional choice to maybe set up another colour having greater influence in the setting?||

Hal does feel in character, though

[dusk hound]

Green Lantern can absolutely work as a grounded gritty and realistic thing too

It’s worked in the comics before

Literally one of THE best and most praised Green Lantern comics of all time is a grounded story about him and Green Arrow traveling the country in an RV

[distant birch]

I dont mind GL being grounded and realistic its specifically that its the first DCU lantern project outside of Guy Gardener existing

[lucid haven]

We also got a small clip

This might be them trying to set the tone

[distant birch]

I would have a bit more faith if we'd established the cosmic/space side of it first, I think

[lucid haven]

And we might get most of those scenes in the 1st couple epps

[distant birch]

-# Which. I imagine their intention is for it to go from grounded and realistic to WOAH space stuff, but I want something to convince me that they'll do the space stuff well

Even if it was just like, a single shot

I just want something to let me trust them on that

[lucid haven]

I dont have much distrust for the current wave of DC stuff

So im willing to see where this goes

[dusk hound]

I definitely have no doubt it’ll be cosmic

[dusk hound]

I feel like the fact that they even mention the other alien GLs and Ch’p gives me hope we’ll see the more cosmic side of things

[distant birch]

They've also cast sinestro right?

[dusk hound]

It’s definitely meant to subvert your expectations, you go in thinking “oh this’ll just be a regular detective show” and then turns into wacky mind bending sci fi

[dusk hound]

Yeah

Ulrich Thomson is playing him

[distant birch]

I think my thing is just... I have faith in DC and the team doing these projects, but I feel like a few of the recent trailers just haven't given me the hook I'd want for what they're adapting

Like, I will see the project because its the DCU and I have faith in them, but if I didnt have that faith I dont think I would be entirely onboard from the trailers

I want the trailer/teaser to give me something that gives me faith in the project beyond it being DC. And while the characterisation has been good in both this and supergirl, neither have entirely persuaded me on the project

[frank quail]

This is a picture of Robbie wearing his stethoscope backwards

[silver oyster]

I read that they wear it like that because it's easier to hear what's happening around them while shooting

it's one of those things like "bad" cpr where the show has to give some ground in realism for practicality

[minor isle]

yeah perfectly accurate cpr just for acting purposes woudl be...

[frank quail]

they could do it on dummys, but not when actual actors are playing dead

[civic trellis]

what, nobody eager to break their co-stars' ribs for the sake of realism? 😌

[dire moss]

That does sound like the kind of thing that the really method/self-punishing actors would do if they could get a producer to actually say yes.

[minor isle]

the method actors would just do method acting when it's for being mean to others...

[spring barn]

I am convinced enough due to the existence of Guy Gardener

[burnt shale]

they already break each others legs ribs shouldn't be an issue

[agile drift]

Made the mistake of watching The Dead Don't Die. Probably one of the dumbest movies I've seen

[molten jetty]

Howw??????

[naive mica]

Aaaaallllllllrighty, time to start watching Legend of Korra!

[keen flax]

Ohooo this'll be interesting~

Im excited to see someone with no bias engage with this show in current year, I wanna see how your opinions play out! Tbh I should rewatch it too, probably when Seven Havens gets a release date

[naive mica]

I'm excited. I know that there's lots of Discourse™ about the show, and I've tried very hard to not be influenced too much one way or the other.

[keen flax]

Yes, go in as neutral as possible~

[naive mica]

First impressions ||I knew there was a ~70 year time skip between the shows, but damn I didn't expect that much technological progression. Then again, the Fire Nation was fairly far along in their industrial revolution. I suppose we were building skyscrapers within ~70 years of our first airships.||

||Also the animation is noticeably higher quality. AtlA improved greatly over its run, but this is much more detailed.||

Also, ||Very interesting to see Korra firebending so early. Earth was the most technically challenging element for Aang, being the opposite of Air. Fire is the opposite of water, but Korra seems right at home with it.||

||Appa! Also aww, Aang named one of his kids after Bumi. ||

Oh. ||Not Appa. Huh. I thought he was the last sky bison.||

||Sokka's dead too? 😭||

||I mean he probably died doing something reckless and stupid. But still.||

[keen flax]

Oh damn you really are going into this blind 💀

[novel bear]

||This one is a huge waste. It basically comes from how the writers only expected one season, so they doubted they'd have room to do anything with Sokka. AFAIK they've said that if they knew there would be more, they'd have kept him alive and done something with him.||

[naive mica]

LoK ||I knew Aang was dead, and that Katara, Zuko, and Toph are fairly present characters. But I didn't/don't know if anyone else would show up in a small roll like Sokka or Ty Lee, etc.||

[dire moss]

Korra ALL (nsfGlam) ||I feel like 90% of my gripes with LoK would have been solved if they actually were greenlit for multiple seasons and outlined them at once. That and Nick constantly giving the show production/release problems.||

[lucid haven]

Cant wait to see how you feel

I will say you get to find out the fate of most of the poeple we loved in atla

[lucid haven]

||That was a rough time, I was there when this was being released and it was so annoying and stressful at the time||

[frank quail]

A meme for you Glam (Korra S1E1) || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQjBdyYg6qE ||

[lucid haven]

[keen flax]

Same tags ||As i get older, theres more and more i realize that... there was just nothing to be done. I still wish some choices weren't made and I still dont like the bending (narratively, visually all the fights are *stunning) but I am asking for a lot from a tv show in development hell 😅||

[naive mica]

For what it's worth, ||I'd prefer less of this kind of commentary, as I said above I'm trying to come in to the show with as few preexisting opinions and conceptions as possible. If you're gonna talk about the show's wasted potential, mistakes, etc, I would kindly request that you tag it nsfGlam or whatnot.||

[novel bear]

I will keep that in mind in the future, but I feel like that remark is like, as non-spoiler as it gets

Literally the only thing it is about is information you already know

[oak ivy]

||one of the main reasons atla worked was bc they knew how long it was from the jump||

[oak ivy]

||no one can turn out 10/10 stuff consistently (except steven erikson)||

[naive mica]

It's less the information and more ||calling it a huge waste.|| As I said before I know there's a lot of very divided opinions on the show and I'm trying to keep an open mind.

[oak ivy]

Korra all ||sometimes a show just goes wrong||

[keen flax]

Korra ALL ||and see. When youre like 13 and ATLA reshaped how you view animation and writing, it sours you... bad 😭 dont worry, ill battle the bitterness someday with a rewatch. The idea becomes less and less misery inducing with each passing day||

[oak ivy]

||i really dont have an urge to rewatch. I dont think my opinion on the show would drastically change. Its problems are pretty clear and its strengths are just as obvious||

[dire moss]

||I was the perfect age for TLA and it had a profound effect on my growing up. So like anything after wouldn't hit that same even if the stars did all align.||

[silver oyster]

@timber marsh the pitt s2e9 ||Don't hide the tablet, Lotus!||

[keen flax]

ATLA + Korra + The Dragon Prince ||What made me realize this was the Dragon Prince's absolute fumble. Here we have the "mind" behind ATLA running his own story, so surely ill hit just as hard as the show he wrote on before, right?? 🙃 it made me realize that to make an excellent show like ATLA, every piece of the puzzle needs to fit||

[oak ivy]

I am so glad i dropped the dragon prince after episode 2

[timber marsh]

what are y'all doing snooping on my reddit SMH

To be honest I almost responded to that with my alt account LOL

[dire moss]

|| TV and movies have so many hands in them that the fact that any of them are excellent is a miracle.||

[timber marsh]

I typed it out and then remembered to switch

[frank quail]

Atla franchise ||I am so Sus of the upcoming projects for exactly this reason||

[timber marsh]

The pitt S2e9 ||That was a rough one. I cried throuhg most of it||

[silver oyster]

the pitt s2e9 ||"I've never died before" got me hard||

[timber marsh]

||It doesn't help that I've been in a chaos-storm of mental health stuff these past few weeks and have just not had the time to sit down and cry||

[silver oyster]

||I spent half the episode reminding myself that these are actors, not real people. Half the characters need a big hug ||

[distant birch]

Lanterns teaser has me trying to figure out if a brown lantern corps has ever existed

Saw a reviewer talking about it and saying they don't want to have to rely on copium for the most basic things and I think that's where I'm at with Lanterns

I do have some faith and I'm willing to wait and see, but I don't like having to theorize about how it can even be a GL show to start with

[runic pollen]

Pitt S2 E9 || Yeah this one had literally every single moment hitting you with it. There is the cancer patient, the case that Javadi missed, the talk Dana had with the newbie, Mel's deposition, Robbie making Whitaker the successor of his things secretly while trying to pursuade to not be super involved with Amy. The other guy who had a talk with his sister. ||

|| another aside, I remember mentioning at episode 3 that this season seems to focus on relationships or at least the inability of these people to make them a core part of the story the same way as Medical Insurace is.

Even in the way that Santos is trying to find a way to make plans with Garcia but everything around her reminding that she is much behind in the work and would not have free time.
||

||We even get a few glimpse into Ogelvie with his father being a pedantic english teacher and him not having a good relationship with him. No idea where that storyline would go though||

[agile drift]

||I think stuff like this is more to just give more flavor to the characters rather than something that will be followed up on, like santos' scars||

[runic pollen]

Yeah probs

|| I had just forgotten that it is Javadi's birthday. Yeah this is not the best one to have. ||

[feral grail]

Every lantern corps is either the borwn or grey lantern corps now because of how bad the color grading and colors are

In brownest day in greyest night

[lucid haven]

Colours in the teaser weren't bad

They just have specific choices

I liked it

[feral grail]

they were pretty bad

[lucid haven]

Felt more like a tv show and grounded in reality at least for now untill we see more of the power stuff im not gonna judge it

And like mabey this was the 1st couple epps or something and by epp 3 or 4 theres some good quality green everywhere

[feral grail]

The ryan gosling green lantern had more colour

[lucid haven]

And that one was bad

[distant birch]

See, I don't think the overall colouring was poorly done. But I do think it was a strange choice for a GL show, especially for the first major piece of promotion

[feral grail]

its just fallen into a lot of modern shows trap of having 0 colour

[lucid haven]

It just seems like almost 0 stuff and there is some very harsh judgements on it

When we have seen so little

[distant birch]

I don't like having to come up with theories to reassure myself that it will have the most basic GL elements

I don't think it means the show will necessarily be absolute trash, or that the show will not have the colours and cosmic stuff, but I think it's poor marketing that the first trailer gave us so little GL stuff

[feral grail]

we saw a shot of the uniform or whatever and it barely had any colour

[distant birch]

Tbh I still have hope that that is an old and trashed uniform instead of a main one

Like, Hal has had that uniform for so long that, as he's gone through a bunch of stuff, it's worn down/out

The lack of colour is obviously an intentional choice, and I don't believe there's nothing interesting they can do with it

There's just not been anything in the promo to make me believe that the reason for the choice isn't just "we think GL is silly"

[feral grail]

no its just the current trend and it sucks

[distant birch]

I think it's too early to say for sure that that's what's going on with lanterns

Especially given this is the same DCU that did Superman

[dusk hound]

If it is extremely colorful and has a bunch of Green Lanterns shenanigans when the show comes out, then I think Gunn needs to have a long talk with the marketing department

Giving me Transformers One vibes

[spring barn]

Or maybe the marketing is intentionally not showing any green for a bigger reveal later

Can people not subsist without instant gratification

Lanterns is supposed to be an adult show and we're acting like anything but

[distant birch]

I don't think that's what's going on here

The thing is, marketing is meant to sell the show

What is being sold is something completely devoid of any GL stuff

I think theres a difference between if episode 1 started off with no green for a later reveal and the trailer not giving any sign of GL stuff aside from as washed out, off-limits, back-of-closet material

It's the whole thing of promises and pay-off: with a slow reveal, you have the "promise" in the title and (potentially) marketing that it will be a GL show, and so the pay-off where the colours kick in works

But right now, I don't feel like the marketing is giving me the expectation that there will be any GL stuff at all

Maybe if there wasn't the cultural context of a lot of adaptations of comics dialing up the "realism" and cutting down on the comic stuff it wouldn't be so much of an issue

[frank quail]

The trailer very conspicuously avoided showing ||newbie using the ring to save himself from the car||

[distant birch]

I feel like theres just a lot of opportunities where they could have given us more evidence that they will do GL stuff

The title card, the descriptions in interviews, the promotional image, now the trailer

And it's always been "grounded grounded grounded"

If Superman and the supergirl trailer hadn't given me faith in the DCU I would assume they do not have plans to really commit to doing GL stuff

[sage finch]

Damn they Hank Pym'd my boy Hal Jordan

A thousand curses upon them

The comments on the video r funny tho

"GREEN COLOUR WILL RETURN IN AVENGERS DOOMSDAY"

[silver oyster]

the pitt s2e9 + DISCO ELYSIUM ||Robby doing the EXPRESSION sauce||

[fair dirge]

Guys, is this a win?

[minor isle]

There has been a bad precedent of "adult show" = lack of color

[spring barn]

That's true yes

[minor isle]

And in a bad way

[spring barn]

But I was speaking more along the lines of us just waiting for the actual show instead of assuming everything from just a single teaser

[minor isle]

Case in point snyder dceu

[spring barn]

I will rally against the show if it does end up with a grey brown colour palette in its entirety

But for now I'll wait

[minor isle]

I agree, but I also understand people have reason to be angry cuz its Lanterns and dcu

[placid river]

“Cuz it’s Lanterns and DCU” what does that mean?

[minor isle]

Lanterns gotta be colorful
DCU is successor of DCEU which has the issue of removing color for "groundednesa"

[placid river]

The Lanterns point is fair. The DCU point less so considering that the DCU is not the DCEU and has very little to do with it

[minor isle]

It doesn't but people would be scared

[distant birch]

I think the DCU is kind of in a spot where it needs to (or at least, people want it to) prove that its not going the same path

Superman did a great job of that by embracing humanity and colour and weird comicbook stuff

[minor isle]

Yeah this

[feral grail]

Yes single teasers are solid ways to jduge how a movie looks

[distant birch]

But I think to some extent... some people see a colourless, serious, "grounded" lanterns show and go "oh no, is this universe shifting to be like the previous stuff?"

[spring barn]

We already know how Green Lanterns look in this universe

[distant birch]

Eh

We know how a Green Lantern looked in Superman, we don't know how the overall tone/style (especially for this distinct project) will look

[minor isle]

I think people are over reacting a bit

[distant birch]

I have hope that it will be similar/the same, but given how different the vibes of the rest of the promo has been from superman, I dont think Superman's GL is a guarantee of the universal standard

[minor isle]

I think its an intended effect to have the effect pop in the show

[spring barn]

Exactly

I mean I too strongly disliked purely what we saw

But that gives me hope for the contrasting reveal being ever cooler

[distant birch]

I think I just wish we'd gotten a little more lantern stuff to give some reassurance that the reveal was coming

Even if it wasnt the colour but just like, the lantern oath

[minor isle]

Idk man

I dislike the trailers and teaser revealing a lot

[distant birch]

I think right now I just feel like... what makes this not just "hal jordan and john stewart"

What makes this "lanterns"

[distant birch]

It doesnt have to be a big reveal

[feral grail]

the fact that the shows logo is also grey

[distant birch]

I do like the casting/characterisation though

And some of the rumoured casting seems interesting

I wouldnt be surprised if a second trailer gives us a bit more on both the lantern side and the plot side

This does feel like its showing us more the character/tone than anything

I like the first movie but I find the show is just all around the superior experience

Feels a lot more balanced

[cold sequoia]

||yes, Hal has occasionally been the badguy and a yellow lantern. I could definitely see something like "Hal is subtly teaching John to be afraid" or something as a twist that happens||

[distant birch]

||I was thinking more like... maybe there's some distance between hal and the corps because of the aftermath of him going rogue||

||hence him not bothering to keep his uniform in perfect condition + not talking to the others much||

[cold sequoia]

||you know, sending John off the edge of a cliff in a car with the ring within reach is a good way to get him to use his fear ||

[forest wigeon]

No because Pixar needs to stop making sequels

[lucid haven]

This is where im at. Like let them build some hype instead of instantly going "where green" and "bad because where green" and "i cant trust it because the trailer wasn't colorful enough"

[molten jetty]

Yeah like Toy Story 4 was bad

[lucid haven]

This is just wrong

Compleatly devoid is just not correct at all

[spring barn]

Trailer should've just shown the entire plot in a minute

[lucid haven]

Im sick of trailers doing that

And im tired of having to be spoonfed everything. Gunn has earnt some ammount of trust right ????

I just dislike the instant "well it didnt have x thing so I really cant trust at all that this will be good"

We also dont have to justify it we can just wait and see ?

[distant birch]

Tbf, this isnt a gunn project

[lucid haven]

He has 0 hands in this at all?

[distant birch]

He has whatever level of oversight his job gives him, but unlike Superman/Peacemaker/CC, he isn't directly making it

I think this is the first real DCU project showing what the majority of the universe will be like, with Gunn overseeing but not directly working on it

I dont think people (myself included) are asking to be spoonfed, but after a lot of superhero movies not committing to the genre, I would like some more evidence that this show isn't afraid of its source material

[lucid haven]

What super hero movies recently haven't committed to the genre

[distant birch]

How recently are we talking by recently?

[lucid haven]

Thats what im wondering like what movies are you talking about that are not committing to the genre so much that its causing you to doubt future super hero produtcs

[distant birch]

Maybe not committing is the wrong phrase, but just the whole trend of like the DCEU and all upping the "realism" and edge on everything

I suppose the snyderverse is sort of a big thing that comes to mind

I may warm up to it with more time, tbh. I'm just disappointed that, after superman, they chose to go with this sort of tone for lanterns when there was a big opportunity to go further into the style that worked well there and could work even better for GL

[acoustic pewter]

That's how I was. I heard flak about it years before I had the chance to see it, and when it became available on Netflix, I was like "You know what, despite what I've heard, Imma just see this myself and decide what my own opinion on it will be." And I loved it.

[feral grail]

Wonder man kinda

[heavy anchor]

Season 3 is unironically peak

[feral grail]

But even that i wouldnt even call anywhere near superhero genre tbh

[distant birch]

I think a few of the recent DCU trailers have been a little disappointing for me (but have been things I've warmed up over time). Until recently I hadn't really read any comics, so I'm not as used to having like... expectations going in

[feral grail]

the snydeverse is pretty solidly a superhero stuff

[distant birch]

Sure, but it tends to go harder on the "darkness" (at least in my experience)

[distant birch]

Maybe if I hadnt also been disappointed in the colours of Supergirl I wouldn't be as frustrated

[acoustic pewter]

Yessss, it's my favorite

[feral grail]

thats not not commiting to the genre though

[distant birch]

Yea, that's why I said that may have been the wrong way of phrasing it

I think I'm just a little irked that there's been two DCU projects with the potential to be colourful cosmic stories and the promo of both has heavily featured earthy tones and all

[topaz oyster]

I could get on board with the idea that the superhero genre has a history of abandoning the roots of the specific individual and gravitating towards a gritty street level realism (or at least, a pseudo-gritty pseudo-street level pseudo-realism) whenever there's a concern about a character (especially the hero) not having a lot of history in the live action genre

[dusk hound]

All roads lead to The Dark Knight

[topaz oyster]

The most extreme example I can think of is Arrow is really a Batman show

[acoustic pewter]

I remember when my mom was watching the CW Arrow show and I would occasionally see parts of it going by and get a gist of it, and I would think "Isn't this just a green Batman with a bow?"

[distant birch]

Lanterns casting/rumours + possible spoilers ||yknow what I do find funny? The lanterns trailer gives us very little lanterns powers, basically no aliens, practically no hints at supernatural/non-human stuff, and yet we have confirmation Guy is in the show, casting for sinestro, possibly casting for Arisia(?) and rumours of Black Hand and/or Atrocitus being in the show. So it does seem like its going to pivot hard into GL corps stuff at some point||

||tbf the Arisia thing seems to be entirely because one of the actresses kinda looks like her, I don’t think there’s any real validity to that rumor. But yeah you’re right about the rest of it||

[hushed moss]

I watched Hoppers, it was hilarious. It had a scene that was probably the loudest I have ever heard a theater gasp

[crystal brook]

I just watched Sinners in the cinema

I missed it the first time around but a chain here is doing awards season reruns

Leo Woodall has reportedly been cast as Aragorn in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum'

Replacing Viggo Mortensen...

(via Caleb Williams | https://t.co/dyxbONVb4R)

X · Mar 7, 2026, 9:17 PM

So Viggo is never going to play Aragorn again?

[cold sequoia]

He's old so no probably not

[fair dirge]

Ian Mckellen too, but I guess I understand the logic

He's gone on a high

And there he wants to leave it

[cold sequoia]

Ian mckellen has been old for about 30 years

[turbid narwhal]

I saw a rumour that the hunt for Gollum movie could be the start of a new trilogy of movies

And the idea of having 3 Andy serkis directed movies is scary

[fair dirge]

Is he a bad director? I don't know if I've seen any of his films

[placid river]

He’s only directed a couple of films, they include Venom 2 and the animated Animal Farm which looks terrible

[topaz oyster]

He was also second unit director on The Hobbit

I think its reasonably difficult to pin all of those projects on him exactly but his track record really is abysmal

[cold sequoia]

2nd unit directors are not reallt doing the same thing directors do

[topaz oyster]

I know, but its still one in a long string of questionable films he's associated with

[naive mica]

Damn. Was gonna watch another episode of LoK tonight, but the (1000% legal and legitimate, plz don't question it) place where I was gonna watch it appears to be down. 😔

[naive mica]

Many such cases.

We'll see if it is back up tomorrow, otherwise might be time to search for somewhere else.

Venom 2?!

That's mad

[winged mountain]

I wouldn’t mind a Scouring movie, it didn’t really fit the movie trilogy but it could still be a story worth doing if they’re inclined to scrape the barrel

I have now watched Rocky Horror Picture Show
||...What.||

[ionic lily]

Did you go to a theater

It doesn’t count unless you go to a show

[thin ridge]

No, we watched it in my friend's dorm

[ionic lily]

Your school will probably put on a production, you have to go

[buoyant scroll]

God I love Rocky Horror

[burnt shale]

Did they bring props

[burnt shale]

This is mandatory it’s not a suggestion

[runic pollen]

Finished Glass Onion. Very good.

It was something with a very different format than Knives Out but I would say it has an even stronger ensemble cast.

We do see Benoit being a lot less poetic with his vocabulary this time around. But that has some to do with Blanc feeling like a fish out of the water in this movie more than the mysterious overwhelming presence he was in Knives Out.

|| I did have a hunch what was happening because they did talk about truth being much simpler earlier on a lot so whenever I saw Blanc dismiss a factor because they think the other person is too smart to do that. I took it into consideration more.

That with the dumb billionaire messaging that is in this story plus what we have already seen in the world.||

[naive mica]

Okay finally got around to watching LoK 1-2

||Romantic yearning, already??? lol ||

||Korra and Tenzin were both being idiots that episode, but hey character growth by the end! For both of them!||

||Also Tenzin's kids are delightful.||

[acoustic pewter]

Wow, what are the odds. I just watched that same movie last night. Not for the first time, though.

[lucid haven]

LoK 1-2 ||they are some of my favorite parts of the show . Melo is my fav||

[runic pollen]

Hell yeah

What was your first and now reaction?

[wise epoch]

Finally sitting down to watch Epic The Musical. I'm already seeing leitmotif and themes being build up

[wise epoch]

I like how Odysseus has a reverse character arc. Granted I haven't seen it all play out, but I have watched an hour of the full thing, and I have seen Six Hundred Strike, Hold Them Down, and Odysseus, so it's funny how ||Odysseus gets a reverse character arc. He starts by killing a baby, then he learns to be merciful afterwards, only to have it beaten into him over and over again that mercy is meaningless and he becomes even more ruthless than he was before (granted he would have killed the suitors anyway even if he didn't go through the veritable trauma conga line he did, but the point stands)||

[acoustic pewter]

First: blown away by some genuinely surprising twists and excellent story framing. Now: it's still my favorite Benoit Blanc mystery movie. It's fun to pick up on all the little things you wouldn't know to look for the first time.

[distant birch]

EPIC ||I feel like his arc is almost just... learning to not feel bad about being merciless. Killing the baby tears him up, his later actions dont||

[wise epoch]

||I mean to be fair, he also. killed a baby lmao||

[distant birch]

||thats what I mean||

||he was ruthless from the start, he just hadn't accepted that he was||

||he starts of struggling with "should I do it, should it not" and ends up just going "I'll do what i need to"||

[wise epoch]

I'm ngl I never actually knew Odysseus went ot the Underworld in the Odyssey

I haven't fully read it, I just knew the general gist of what happens, but I didn't know about this at all lmao

[wise epoch]

And then Athena has reverse characterization from Odysseus, ||where she's mad that he's showing mercy, and then at the end she's like "But what if we were more empathetic"||

[wise epoch]

Tumblr · Apr 23, 2019, 7:32 PM

[west escarp]

Why is this the first ever adaption of a Homeric story I’ve which used the boar tooth helmets

Also it was super cool. And it made of Odysseus a barely human monster taking revenge, which is an interesting take

Also the chanting in the background is Γνῶθι σεαυτόν, the Delphic Maxim carved into the temple of Apollo at Delphic and means “know thyself” which implies this violence and rage and calculated horror of toying with the suitors before slaughter them is Odysseus’s truest self

The Wire season 4 ||I had some time off the last few days and i sat down and watched this season. I finished it a few hours ago and i gave myself a little time to let it sit with me. I think it's the greatest season of television i've ever watched. Focusing this season on the children and the education system was the perfect backdrop for this season. The writers did a great job of showing how the children grow up in a sympathetic way||

||Even the other plot lines of Carcetti's mayoral race and Bubbles with sherrod is handled perfectly||

just a flawless season of television with the best child acting i've ever seen

||It's very impressive that the season that has the least focus on McNulty who is one of the best characters in the show is this good. It was for the best that McNulty took a step back this season because it let the other characters shine. Namond, Michael and all the other kids do a great job acting as the leads of this season and prez is also written very well in role||

I thought S1 was great

Few things I didn’t like, but overall I loved it

[oak ivy]

They are playing that in theaters?

[novel bear]

alright starting

My one hope is ||they make an attempt to fix and rebuild Usopp's character arc to make up for how they just completely cut everything important about it in S1||

But I know they probably won't

[molten jetty]

Yeah. Just tonight.

[novel bear]

Man, like

Whatever complaints I sometimes have with how they execute the story

It's just so cool to see this universe executed in such a high-effort way

[molten jetty]

OPLA S1 ||yeah Syrup village is probably what bugs me the most||

[novel bear]

Purely in terms of visuals I just love seeing the aesthetic, the costumes and environments of this universe, brought into live action in a way that feels coherent

[molten jetty]

I love the clear passion for the storytelling from everyone involved

[novel bear]

Like just watching scenes of the marines doing stuff it doesn't feel like an awkward, cringe attempt at live action, it feels like yeah I'm actually watching what this would be if it was real actors and not through an art style

Oh no. I probably won’t watch this but seeing people say the movie was good had me excited that maybe it would be a good adaptation for once.

But I do feel like if I read the book first, I never like the adaptation.

Expanse is weird because I watched the show and loved it, read the books, and then started to rewatch the show. I only got through part of season 2 but I still genuinely thought the adaptation was good. And I am pretty sure that’s the only time that has happened

That was what I loved so much about the book. Its less about the other stuff in the premise for me. And if the movie didn't get that right then I don't think I'll enjoy it as much||

Also there was a screening of the new ATLA movie for the cast and crew apparently and they all thought it was great and deserves to be on the big screen and that Paramount pulling it from theaters is not at all about the quality of the movie or lack of confidence in the finished product.

And obviously grain of salt and all that because they’re invested in it, but it does sound like one hell of a shame that the movie is going direct to streaming

[muted solar]

Ahh yeah makes sense!

Dying for an ATLA movie trailer

Not optimistic we’ll get one any time soon due to the direct to streaming nonsense though

[novel bear]

That's what makes it something that just constantly puts a smile on my face. They didn't just do the main characters justice and phone in the rest. They've put so much effort even into the random side characters most people don't remember or care about, but matter to me.

I would say so far the ratio of "I really like how they've done this and it's making me smile" vs. "It's annoying me how it's different/lacking compared to the original" is better than for S1

But that's a perspective from a fan

For a first-time watcher? I feel like there's nothing to complain about, it's just great

OPLA S2E3 ||herrrrrrrrrrrrrr||

||She's her||

[dusk hound]

TBF literally most of that was on Pam just not dumping Roy, and when she finally DID dump him she got back with him again immediately

[molten jetty]

It’s also on a culture that justifies cheating

[dusk hound]

Jim did nothing substantially wrong IMO, he made things a LITTLE awkward at points but he had eventually gotten over Pam after he went to the Stanford branch

[molten jetty]

XMen 97 is the most egregious example of cheating for me

[molten jetty]

Nah that’s not true. (Office) ||he specifically tells her he has a crush on her and then kisses her, later making out with her, while she is still with Roy||

[dusk hound]

The X-Men cheat on each other constantly, this is not new

[molten jetty]

||it’s just “okay” and “justified” because they smear Roy’s character so the cheating is “ok”||

[dusk hound]

I can name at least 50 instances where Scott cheats on Jean with Emma

[molten jetty]

Easy: they don’t adapt that

[crystal brook]

Opla s2e6/op all ||Otohime mentioned||

[dusk hound]

The relationship drama is what makes the X-Men smh

That’s like adapting Game of Thrones without the violence

[molten jetty]

It is the part of the show that I despise, so no it does not

'One Piece' Producers Tomorrow Studios to Adapt 'Samurai Champloo' With Creator Shinichirō Watanabe (EXCLUSIVE) https://t.co/EakQYmk1X9

YES

YES

YEAHHHH

Please try to adapt it well I beg

It shouldn’t be hard

[burnt shale]

It shouldn’t be hard

[dusk hound]

Wantanabe is gonna be a big part of it apparently which is a VERY good sign

[crystal brook]

I mean

The exact same studio just messed up Cowboy Bebop lol

[burnt shale]

ive not been impressed with watanabe's recent work as well

[dusk hound]

I mean they also made the OPLA

So

It’s kind of a coin flip

And again, them consulting Wantanabe is a good thing, regardless of his recent work, I don’t think they did that with Cowboy Bebop

[novel bear]

OPLA S2E4

[dusk hound]

I see the vision

/jk

[agile drift]

Seeing the bride today. Kinda disappointed by the reviews but I'm curious to see it nonetheless

[willow fjord]

🫡 have fun, hope you enjoy it!

the trailers looked interesting to me, but I havent seen any reviews yet

[willow fjord]

Ok I just watched the video and she kind of cooked?

I pretty much agree with all of her points there

I will never not love Jim and Pam though

[silver bronze]

OPLA S2e1||his lines also sounded a bit weird, like they were recorded in a soundbooth and not on set directly||

[thin ridge]

I know! That's why I wanted to recommend it here. This is the first thing I've ever watched by her and I really liked the style and the depth of the analysis.

[willow fjord]

im watching some of her other vids now, she said PHM was her most anticpated movie of 2026 and her favorite book of all time 😎

[feral grail]

for the martian i liked the movie and disliekd the book lmao

so im fine with any differences ngl

[willow fjord]

fwiw I have seen about 20 other book readers review the movie and they all loved it, she seems to be the minority opinion for now

[thin ridge]

Watching a review that gets specific before the movie is dangerous imo. It makes the flaws stand out way more

[crystal brook]

op all ||The costume designers are going to be so disappointed when it moves to longer arcs and they dont get to create multiple fits for the main characters, even the villains have gotten different fits for different islands ||

[novel bear]

OPLA S2E5 ||so are they just not doing the instinct moment. that's really disappointing.||

[spring barn]

I'm only seeing PHM next week but I doubt it'll be worse than the book

The book is fine but it's not very deep

Which is cool but I have a higher chance of liking a not-deep movie than a book

[feral grail]

yeah i like schlocky mid movies a lot mroe than schlocky mid books

i like ryan goslign though so im proably gonna see it

[spring barn]

Hard Boiled is one of my fav films ever and HK action flicks in general is probably my fav genre/era of movies

Doubt I'd like them much in text form though

[novel bear]

OPLA S2E6 ||I think they're kinda overdoing the climb tbh. In the manga they don't have Luffy declare he's going to climb up the mountain, ask Nami if she wants him to carry her up the mountain, and just keep yapping about it. They just get to the point where things go wrong, the only option left is to climb it with his bare hands, and he does it. It feels less impactful because of how much time they're spending on it.||

||I just don't like overbearing heroic music during things like this. Maybe it's my preference, but I'd prefer brutal intense music, or just no music at all.||

[steep bramble]

Interesting.

[willow fjord]

OPLA S2E1 ||BRUH WHAT IS THAT||

[frank quail]

||a perfectly normal hair style||

||alternately, a stand user||

[crystal brook]

Truly the best one piece character

[oak ivy]

Pizza you are going hard

[molten jetty]

I can’t even start until after the premiere tonight 💔

Probably gonna watch the rest with my parents so no binging it all in one day RIP

[novel bear]

OPLA S2E7 ||Are we not doing Hiriluk getting naked. Disappointing.||

[burnt shale]

Pizza would want to see that

[cold sequoia]

Wait I thought this was all talking about S2E1

[novel bear]

I stand corrected

[willow fjord]

OPLA S2E1 ||damn, this sword sales man went from trying to scam the hell out of Zoro to giving him 2 free swords 😎 ||

||impressive haggling Zoro ||

[keen flax]

I need to watch OPLA

[oak ivy]

You havent???

[willow fjord]

honestly what appeals to me most about the live action is that the pacing isnt complete ass
