What if Jack is missing because he’s trapped in Wonderland?
As we know from Eva, you don’t have to be dead to access Wonderland

When he shows up in Spectacle, it seems like he’s in Wonderland now that we know what it looks like:

How he ended up there, whether he was trapped by Bon, or something happened that we can’t even comprehend yet - I don’t know. But the way he is shown to be still “around” is very similar to how people/entities show up through analog all throughout the series.
Some examples from previous episodes under the read more
We know from Lucky You that if you’re in Wonderland, you’re able to use analog to communicate with the outside world.


And that’s exactly how Jack keeps showing up to signify that he’s still “here”.
The first instance is in Little Bon’s Neighborhood, which is shown on video tape:


He also shows up on Tape #1 several times in Relocate Project:



Then on the Technical Support tape:

I think even more instances of him showing up as a distorted figure specifically in video tapes can be found in the episodes (eg. at the end of Bunnyfarm when he’s leaving the voicemail) or in other miscellaneous medias, if anyone can think of any lmk!
On top of his appearance in Spectacle, it’s been heavily implied by Martin that Jack is still alive unlike all the other “missing” people.
He also attempts to communicate a lot more frequently through analog than any of the others who are in Wonderland, which makes sense if he’s wanting to be found.
Maybe if he really is there, he had found Edd and Molly so they’re not alone at least :(

The Eddsworld Reset Theory
Has anyone else noticed the continuity oddities with Eddsworld? A lot of the goofy hi-jinks the gang go on can easily be explained by cartoon logic, but there are some things that don't quite... line up. Mostly in regards to character death. This is another long one, apologies.
I get that technically the only major irreversible character death is Jon in the finale, but think about it. People die in Eddsworld all the time, especially during the Goulden Era. Some examples right off the top of my head are the Zombeh trilogy, WTFuture, and Matt Sucks.
You could argue that the Zombeh trilogy is its own isolated canon, at the end, everyone dies including Tom and Edd who realize they were bit at the end of the third episode, but in WTFuture, Future Edd goes back in time of the current timeline and lands literally seconds after Matt had his arm ripped off. This outright confirms that not only were these characters zombified and then killed, but they somehow came back as they were previously as though nothing happened. Matt Sucks -where Matt gets turned into a vampire- has this as well, with Edd and Tom being nailed to the wall and killed in an attempt to kill Matt, who then burned alive anyway. The very next episode, everyone is alive and well, making no allusions to what had happened in the episode prior. Eddsworld: Beyond actually references this, that Matt and the sun are old enemies. He even hisses at the sun, showing fangs, as though he was a vampire. Is Matt still a vampire? But he died, didn't he? It could just be a silly "if you know you know" reference for those still going back to the older episodes and doesn't really matter all that much in the long run, which is fair. That being said... Also in WTFuture, Matt goes back in time and becomes the ruler of everything, taking the place of every single important historical figure, basically becoming the dictator of the world and its history, (and you thought Tord was bad). Even Matt's own friends are affected by this change, praising Matt and his glorious endeavors as apposed to being mildly annoyed with him as they typically are. The next episode, everything goes back to normal. Cartoon logic. But later, in part one of Hammer and Fail, Matt mumbles this to himself:
If... if every episode is its own contained world, which is how a lot of cartoons typically allow timey-wimey plotlines like WTFuture, how would Matt remember him being ruler? Heck, even the painting of Matt as king is in Tord's room after it's established that Matt's time travel had been reversed.
Does this mean other characters can remember this kind of stuff too? Do Tom and Edd also remember every single time they've died? There is in-canon proof that each contained episode link the each other in a variety of ways, but the beginning of every episode starts the same: the house being in one piece, and Tom, Matt, and Edd, (and Tord, I guess) being perfectly alive and well. In fact, after several episodes of the gang's house being blown up and destroyed (Zanta 2, Space Face part 2, etc.), the only time the house remains irreparable is The End part 2. So what gives? It makes me wonder if there's someone or something that is pulling time-manipulating strings in the background to ensure these characters -and their house- remain alive, even repairing their time-travel based wrong-doings. Something along the lines of a Reset, perhaps? It's important to remember that physical objects and sensations, like the house or damage to the characters bodies, are removed and set back to how they were, but the memories of the characters affected have stayed. Physical changes, mental stays. At first, I thought that if this Reset thing is the responsibility of an actual person, that it'd be Tom. Considering the whole implied-possession character trait and the fact he gets beaten up the most out of the three, (Spares he gets thrown in the trash in favour of a Matt clone only for the clone to never be seen again, he gets electrocuted in Space Face 2, he gets shot in the face with a laser twice (Space Face 1 and Zanta 2), gets a full body cast in Zanta 3, etc.), the Resets would give him a better stand against everything thrown at him as well as lean into his supernatural origins. Plus, he cares about his friends, and has shown displeasure in the idea of losing them, specifically Edd, meaning the Resets might also not be exclusively selfish. But there's another character that fits the bill even more. Take another look at the examples of continuity oddities above. Notice the character in common? Matt. Matt is the one (to my knowledge) most likely to make multiple references to events in previous, seemingly unrelated episodes. He is the only one shown to have kept his memory of WTFuture. Matt is still shown to be a vampire, after having died from burning and having then been seen in daylight several times later with no consequence. Is this a coincidence? Yes, absolutely. You can even tell that Legacy makes strides to avoid this kind of confusion with the noticable lack of character "death" until The End. Is this a fascinating coincidence nonetheless? Oh, yes, absolutely.

Hi,
Could you do an Eddie Munson x reader where she is Dustin's cousin who has come to live with them. Maybe Dustin doesn't mention it to anyone as he knows that reader if exactly Eddie's type? Then the whole gang is over for a movie night, and reader comes out her room in her pj's
"𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙋𝘼𝙅𝘼𝙈𝘼𝙎" | 𝙀.𝙈
Pairing: Eddie munson x Henderson!fem!reader.
Summary: Eddies never even seen you before, and yet. you have his heart captured.
Warning: 18+ grinding, cumming in pants, jerking off, semi-perv Eddie, Implied sex at the end, boners, sex mentions, skimpy pajamas.
A/N: smash, im not really sure if you wanted this as smutty as i made it, if not i apologize (not proof read)
Dustin’s sleepovers were nothing new, they’d been happening for years. but now, you would be there…Dustin's cousin. who he’d be sharing the floor in the basement with.
When Eddie had first seen you, he knew. he was a goner. you weren’t very similar to Dustin in many ways. but enough to know you were related, Dustin had described you as: boring, girly, and had a boyfriend.
the little lying shit!…you were, funny, gorgeous and single!it has like he’d hit the jack-pot on a woman. just with one down-fall
you were Dustin Hendersons cousin…of course he knew that, but he only realized he was fantasizing about one of best friends cousin when you actually waked through the door. you were even better than he imagined, and from the looks of things. you didn’t mind him...maybe even liked him too.
from the very second you walked through Dustin’s front door, all eyes were on you. looking stunning as he assumed you probably always did.
your PJ’s would look normal to anyone else looking at you, but fuck. you were wearing little shorts that rode up your thighs exposing underwear with bats on them. as well as a short top with the words. “black sabbath”
shit.
“I’ve got to go!” Eddie quickly said, rushing off to the bathroom upstairs. how the fuck! he had a boner from less than 20 seconds of looking at you.
what was wrong with him?! Eddie quickly tried to decide if he should jerk off in the bathroom and leave, but with the possibility of you knowing.
he unfortunately didn’t have much time to decide because through the hallway was someone calling his name
you.
“u-uh yeah?” he gulped, locking the door door so you couldn’t get in. last thing he needed was you seeing his boner than telling Dustin, no. he couldn’t stand the embarrassment.
“just wanted to make sure…y’know, okay and shit” he could hear your feet shuffling with nerves. “i am fine don’t worry about it” now its awkward…
“well then, have fun with your problem Hm?” you laughed, resting your head against the door. you knew about his raging boner for you? “T-thanks”
and with that, you left. he heard your feet move down the hall then he decided to just…jerk off. your voice and face fresh in his mind…
from the few seconds he’d heard you talked, Eddie figured maybe you were shy? however in the dark you were much different than he was expecting. and to be fair, you were technically sleeping, but you knew what you were doing. you had too.
because there was no way, your sleeping body had just kept rubbing against him.
annoyingly bringing back the boner Eddie had earlier, only this time. more hard, and more needy for you.
the little sighs, groans and gasps your mouth let out only fueled the urge to grind back against your ass. was that weird to do? probably, but in that moment he had close to no self control when you are around him.
“F-fuck” he gave in…hands on your hips, gliding you into him.
by now, you had to be awake. or at least having a little idea of what's happening? right?
“Edd-Eddie, please” oh fuck. you were actually awake. and willingly grinding on him for release.
You only went harder, faster, until his dick twitched in his underwear. and with a loud moan, you had at least tried to muffle with your hand. Eddie came in his pants, just from a little bit of friction. “t-thats embarrassing—” Eddie Munson had never experienced a kiss like the one you gave him, full of passion, tongue, lust…
you were hungry.
the night only after that was full of hard breaths, moans, used condoms. and you both loved every second of it, you were his dream girl.

Honestly I do like “He just is like that” but there is also the end of trick or threat,and this one line that nobody has mentioned much at the end of… “The End” (Part Two) where Edd asks about Toms eyes and Tom says
“funny story actually-it all started when I was younger”
before getting cut off which implies that his eyes were normal when he was presumably a very small child given the fact that his eyes are void when he was what seems to be primary school?
Also the real Tom (the one who exists) said that he was designed to be possessed by a demon which isn’t canon technically but you know. Makes sense why he’s in and is referred to as a demon in Crash Zoom.
Idk I just hope that that part gets to be confirmed canon in the future because it makes more sense than the Tord one because (say it with me kids)
“Nobody knows how to write Tord,even the people who created Tord as a character” /hj
Also of course in the post end rise of Tomtord (derogatory /lh) people generally used it as angst fodder,which in turn caused it to gain more popularity and now I see nobody exploring the demon idea which is interesting and has a lot of story potential.
Oh gosh.
That wasn’t meant to be as long as it was.
Shit,I’m really sorry lmao.
FHDJFHDJFHDJ DAMN. ANON COMING IN WITH THE QUOTES. and true true, tom being possessed is VERY much hinted, especially in legacy. guess tomska just really wanted to keep that idea LOL. it probably got retconned for beyond though now
BUT YEAH...TORD IS A HARD ONE. there's a lot of ways you can write him and none of it would be technically "right", especially since he was gone by 2008 before there could really be any establishment for his personality.
also, there are still some ppl exploring the demon idea! @/the-masked-artist05 is one of them B) with her blog @/ask-possessed-tom (if u didnt knw), but you have a point

Matcha and teacup
oh wait i’m dumb i answered the wrong one lol
matcha: if you had the opportunity to meet one person from history, who would you choose and why?
“from history” implies to me this is asking about someone who’s passed away, so stephen hillenberg or edd gould come to mind first 😞
macchiato: if you had to change your name, what would you change it to?
this is an epic question, but i literally cannot think of one i think my current name (Nick) perfectly suits me. But idk Finn maybe? Just cuse i like adventure time idk?! Boy names are stupid I can never think of good ones lol. Tho as a tidbit i remember in like fourth grade i tried to get kids in my art class to call me Cosmo for some reason

teacup: your least favourite job that you’ve had and why?
i’ve only technically had two real jobs so i guess i’d say my summer job at this fireworks store i’ve done the past three years. I mean it’s mostly easy work but it gets so busy and its so hot and so many customers ask stupid as hell questions over and over AND everything is so damn heavy and i walk back and fourth ssoooooo much to stock stuff my feet always hurt like craaaazzzyyyyy. And the two years before this during the week of july 4th i would work 12 hour shifts sequentially, i think i even did longer than that once.
This year i’ve been grinding pokemon go during work because i literally walk an average 4 miles or so when i need to stock. But it’s money, only lasts a few months, and the mangers and coworkers are nice :P
Tho the other day someone sliced a boxcutter through some doodles i left out by accident >:(
Thank you for asking!!

Tord: Since when have you been trying to quit?
Tom: That’s not important.
Matt: These aren’t my favorite but they’re not bad.

Michael After Midnight: The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

Ah, October, a month where the internet becomes obsessed with ghosts and goblins in preparation for Halloween. And really, can I fault the people for that? The dark, macabre, and spooky make for great entertainment! Plenty of great scary movies out there for the adults to enjoy to get into the spirit, but what about kids? Well, there’s Goosebumps and all those other shows like it, but what about a dark, macabre cartoon filled with spooky shit?
Enter The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, one of the best Cartoon Network cartoons ever made. Released in August of 2001, it came just in time for that year’s Halloween, and lasted six years, with seven seasons under its belt. During that time, the show endeared itself to audiences with its combination of dark comedy, grossout humor, and just plain weird situations…though weirdness is par for the course when you’re pals with the Grim Reaper, I suppose.
So what is the plot of this cartoon? Well, one day a hamster owned by a stupid boy named Billy was about to die, and the Grim Reaper came to take him. Billy’s cunning, evil best friend Mandy decided to make a bet with the Grim Reaper; they have a game of limbo, and if he wins he gets the hamster… but if THEY win, he has too be their best friend forever. Of course, he loses, and then he becomes the put-upon pal of these two kids as they boss him around and force him to entertain them. Much hilarity (and chaos) ensues.
This show’s greatest asset was its variety. With Grim onboard, any sort of plot could be possible, from sci-fi stories where the gang fought aliens or mutant chickens to more horrifying stores where they fought demons, monsters, and other denizens of the underworld. And sometimes they would do something really weird, like the episode-long dream sequence in which Billy imagines he’s in the Wild West confronting the cowboy Tooth Fairy. This helps most of the episodes feel fresh, because going in you don’t know if you’re gonna get a story about a killer tricycle or an episode-long reference to Suspiria. Speaking of which, the show is pretty clever in its references, slipping in TONS of content for adult fans, from numerous dirty jokes that will fly over kid’s heads to references to movies no kid would see, such as the aforementioned Suspiria or Hellraiser. As there’s not much continuity here, this show is super easy to jump into at any episode and just watch and have a good experience, which is another plus; sometimes it’s nice to have a simple show driven only by its desire to tell jokes rather than tell an overarching story. And thankfully, the jokes here are mostly good, and have as much variety as the episodes themselves. One memorable episode is just an episode-long series of fart jokes, while another episode gets its laughs from giant mutant chickens and cannibalism. It’s THAT kind of show.
Now, none of these situations would be quite as good if the protagonists weren’t entertaining, so how are they? Let’s start with the guy whose name comes first in the title (technically speaking): Grim. Grim, the personification of Death with an inexplicable Jamaican accent, is bizarrely the straight man in this show… well, usually. When he has to deal with Billy, he plays the role with ease, but with Mandy, Grim can sometimes get a bit silly, though rarely to Billy’s level. As he is typically what allows the strange and supernatural hijinks of the show to occur, be it on purpose or inadvertently, he’s easily the coolest main character, and due to his put-upon nature and how sympathetic he ends up being due to the shit Billy and Mandy put him through, he’s also the most likable.
Billy is up next, and he is the stereotypical idiot comic relief character cranked up to 11. He’s stupid to the point it is stated by his principal in one episode that a shovel and two candy bracelets actually scored higher on an IQ test than he did (they got a positive 17; he got -5). Think Ed from fellow Cartoon Network cartoon Ed, Edd n Eddy, only with a bigger nose and voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz of Invader Zim and Psychonauts fame. Unlike Ed, though, the dangerous and supernatural experiences they faced combined with an occasional lack of empathy and his tendency to be a jerk can make Billy a bit of a divisive character; I tend to enjoy him quite a bit, but there are a few episodes where even he tried my patience. Still, overall he’s an enjoyable dope.
Then we have… Mandy. I’m just gonna say it: by the time the show came to an end, Mandy was easily the worst main character, maybe even the worst character on the show period. She’s typically portrayed as the Ultimate Evil, this epic child chess master who always comes out on top and never faces any sort of consequence for what she does. It’s a rare episode that sees her punished for her actions. However, in episodes where she’s not trying to pull off some evil scheme and is just reacting to the madness around her, she’s a solid character. The fact she’s voiced by Grey DeLisle does help things a bit.
As I said, there is very little continuity between episodes, but there is some, mostly in the form of reoccurring characters. In a show like this, the ensemble cast as well as one-shot characters really need to be on point, and boy oh boy are they ever in this show! This show may have one of the best and most enjoyable ensemble casts in a cartoon ever. The big standouts are Hoss Delgado, the buff monster hunter who is basically a combination of Ash Williams and Snake Plissken, with all that badassery that implies; Eris, the sexy and tricky goddess of chaos; Jeff, a gigantic spider (voiced by Maxwell Atoms, the show’s creator) who is Billy’s ‘son’ and just wants his spider-hating father’s love; General Skarr, a character from Evil Con Carne who is a cunning evil man who wants to usurp power and rule the world… or he used to be, now he just wants to tend his garden in peace; and, last but definitely not least, motherfuckin’ Dracula, voiced by Phil LaMarr and based visually on Blackula, who is basically a nonstop fountain of hilarity. Each of these characters is fantastic, funny, and able to fit into a variety of weird situations the show pops out. And this brilliance and hilarity extends to one-shot characters as well, such as the much-loved singing evil meteor and Jack O’Lantern, characters who had one appearance each but easily endeared themselves with fans. If there’s a weak link in any of the ensemble cast, it would probably be Fred Fredburger; while he’s not devoid of funny moments, his schtick was really overplayed and he ended up becoming an unofficial mascot for the series in the ads, which led to overexposure. It leads people to think he had a bigger part in the show than he did, when he had a few episodes and then appeared in a few of the specials.
Interestingly, Billy & Mandy is probably one of the few shows that really benefited from getting wackier as the show went on. The first season, when the show was Grim & Evil, is, for lack of a better word, a bit grim. The episodes still have comedy, but a lot of them just aren’t as funny as later episodes, and not many of the series mainstays pop up here, aside from Nergal, Eris, and Hoss. That’s not to say there’s nothing memorable here – “Little Rock of Horrors” is in the first season, after all – but the first season just doesn’t stack up quite as well to later ones. Season 2 introduces Jeff and Nigel Planter and has the legendary Halloween special, while season 3 has classics like “Here Thar Be Dwarves” and brings in Grim’s school bully Boogie. They only get better from here, save for season 7, which is easily the least memorable season of them all (though it does have its exceptions, particularly “Wrath of the Spider Queen").
Now, normally this is where I would wrap up, but first, I want to do something a little different. I’m going to list the 25 episodes I think are essential viewing for the best Billy & Mandy experience. I’m not going to review each episode or even detail them, because it would basically be me explaining jokes and how they’re funny. These are just the episodes I think anyone getting in should see. So without further ado…
25. Attack of the Clowns
24. One Crazy Summoner
23. The Loser from the Earth’s Core
22. Toadblatt’s School of Sorcery
21. Wrath of the Spider Queen
20. Home of the Ancients
19. Nursery Crimes
18. Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
17. Giant Billy and Mandy All-Out Attack
16. Nigel Planter and the Chamber Pot of Secrets
15. Modern Primitives
14. Prank Call of Cthulhu
13. Duck!
12. The Secret Snake Club
11. Jeffy’s Web
10. Fear and Loathing in Endsville
9. Here Thar Be Dwarves
8. Goodbling and the Hip-hop-opotamus
7. Billy and Mandy Moon the Moon
6. My Fair Mandy
5. Keeper of the Reaper
4. Little Rock of Horrors
3. Wishbones
2. Billy and Mandy’s Jacked-Up Halloween
1. Billy and Mandy Save Christmas
Now this is by no means a definitive list (though I certainly believe the Halloween and Christmas episode are the two best episodes of the show), but I do certainly think that these are some of the funniest, most memorable, and most enjoyable episodes the series produced.
This show is unarguably a classic. Funny, dark, witty, and filled with jokes for people of any ages to enjoy, this is the sort of cartoon that helped Cartoon Network be truly great in the early to mid-2000s, prior to their descent into madness with live action shows. It actually spawned a pretty solid TV movie, an incredibly bizarre crossover with Codename: Kids Next Door, and a failed spinoff movie called Underfist; I’d go into more detail, but honestly, that stuff is worthy of their own reviews, so I’ll save it.
Needless to say though, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is one of the best cartoons of the 2000s, a real gem and definitely worth watching, especially its holiday specials which are among the best holiday specials, if not THE best (that Christmas episode is a strong contender). I kinda wish this show would get a revival of some kind, because even with the glut of comedy shows we have these days, as long as Maxwell Atoms is at the helm, I can’t see this show failing to stand out in the crowd… no show with such ballsy dark comedy and radar-dodging innuendos could ever be unwelcome.

write vore
While I can’t say I’m a fan of vore, there’s one aspect of it I find endlessly fascinating — the distinction between it and regular cannibalism. According to Levi Strauss, the denial of cannibalism is the foundation of our society: I won’t eat you if you won’t eat me; great, now we can form a society. Meanwhile, as Maggie Kilgour writes, presently "Cannibalism is a conventional satirical topos, which has been traditionally used for political purposes to demonise and attack forces seen as threatening social order."
So we're bound to get more vore political cartoons, right? Or a Vonnegut-style satire whose fanart is thrown into a deviantArt cringe compilation?
But vore isn’t really cannibalism; that’s what’s so fascinating. I mean, technically it is, in as much as you have one human character eating another, which is just as often not true. (Would monster Tom voring Edd count as cannibalism? Hmm.) But let's assume there are two human characters, in this scenario. Conjure the image of the cannibal in your mind anyway, and tell me there is not some disassembly involved. Whether King’s survivor type cutting off his own legs for food or Mitsuki killing young boys and serving their testicles as patties, cannibalism is defined not only by the fact that it is a person eating another person, but by a person destroying another, reducing them down to an animal carcass to be stripped and picked clean. NBC's Hannibal brings this up directly, if I remember correctly. Hannibal's modus operandi is defined, according to William Graham, by his view that his victims are not worthy of person-hood. Therefore he will not only kill them, but render them unrecognizable as human at all --- on the dish, there is little if any visual difference between human parts and those of commonly eaten mammals.
You are not a human being to me anymore, the cannibal says; you are at best a treat and at worst simply fuel.
Real life cannibals say we taste like pork.
Louise Noble goes on Medicinal Cannibalism to describe the distinctions Europeans drew between their cannibalism, which was primarily used for (as her title implies) medicinal purposes, and the wanton cannibalism they'd claimed to have observed was what was so distasteful about the Native Americans. Montaigne's famous essay "On Cannibals," in fact, throws European 'savagery' back in their faces in the most oft-quoted passage:
I consider it more barbarous to eat a man alive than to eat him dead; to tear by rack and torture a body still full of feeling, to roast it by degrees, and then give it to be trampled and eaten by dogs and swine— a recent memory, not between ancient enemies, but between neighbours and fellow- citizens and, what is worse, under the cloak of piety and religion— than to roast and eat a man after he is dead.
Whether you like vore or not, this destructive element is, from what I’ve seen, not really present. Most vore art, in fact, has the victim alive and speaking from inside the stomach. The belly of the consumptive character is often distended horribly, but this is not presented as causing them pain, nor does the victim ever seem bothered by the presence of stomach enzymes or even teeth.
So yeah, they are eaten, but not really. The only real difference between vore and pregnancy art is the presence of speech bubbles.
I don’t really have a conclusion to draw from this, especially since I don’t have this fetish and can’t speak to its appeal with any authority. Tom has said it's about the fullness -- the stuffing without that kink's inherent feederism, but even that explanation, he told me, didn't really get at vore's je ne sais quoi. A friend of a friend, on the other hand, saw the appeal as being literally surrounded by your partner's love and safety, effectively placing vore and unbirth on opposite sides of the same coin. It’s just fascinating, and a little funny, how the most extreme fringe of the human imagination can be so easily defanged— rendered both a punchline and a sexual fantasy too far removed from reality to be of any real threat. We can't all be dragons capable of swallowing a person whole.
To be a cannibal, however, simply offer a guy a blowjob, and then bite down.

My Spoiler Filled Thoughts on the New Power Rangers Film
I have so many feelings about this movie, but I’m going to mention so many spoilers so all of that is under the cut.
So I saw Power Rangers 2 days ago and I just need somewhere to let all my thoughts out. Let me preface this by saying that Power Rangers is one of the first shows I remember watching as a child. For a long long time we didn't have cable at my house (my parents didn't want me watching mind poisoning cartoons like Ed Edd 'n Eddy) so the only place I could really watch Power Rangers was at my grandparents house. That's fine, I was literally there everyday until I was 5 anyways. In Kindergarten I had to go into a morning care program where there were a small collection of video games and board games to play with. One of the board games was a Power Rangers game. The game had you choose which Ranger you would play as and it had their names on it. My name is Kim, the Pink Ranger was Kim, pink is my favorite color. This was the only time I could get exactly what I wanted in school because kids would be like "well does it have your name on it?" As a matter of fact it does fucker. I was even the Pink Ranger for halloween that year. There are other things I remember about my time with power rangers (like how when I marathoned In Space with my mom and my cousin I threw a tantrum when Karone didn't become the purple ranger and I ended up stomping in dog vomit) but none of those things really relate to the Rangers portrayed in the film, so let's move on. I think the first thing I was extremely pleased about can be summed up in a line from Alpha 5 "Different colors, different kids, different colored kids." This movie is everything I've been hoping for in remakes, it's oozing in diversity and it didn't stick to how things were set up in the original show. We have a white kid, a half Indian girl (Naomi Scott did a wonderful job as my favorite Kim), a Latina, a Chinese-Canadian, and an African American. But to top it all off the Asian character and the Black character weren't the yellow ranger and black ranger respectively. They were more than just their skin colors. Billy is never called "too white" for how he acts, on top of it not only does he exhibit autistic like symptoms but he even says he's on the spectrum. A black autistic superhero, I'm so glad. Zack is bilingual, and we only ever see him speaking in Mandarin with his mother, no English in their scenes, I love it. I haven't been this thrilled about another language since I saw Assassins Creed in theaters. (Which as bad as the film was, props to having everything entirely in Spanish in the flashbacks. I loved that.) I did have some complaints. I went into the movie thinking that Trini was going to be a lesbian. What I got was Zack asking her "boyfriend troubles?" and her sarcastically saying "yea boyfriend troubles." His eyes grow wide and he says "girlfriend troubles?" She's silent. I can see they were trying to show that she's struggling with her sexuality, Trini realized that she's not straight but she's not sure if she's gay either. I cried myself to sleep for years back when the teachings I got at Catholic school and Church had me thinking that I was horrible and sick if it turned out I was a lesbian, but as much as I liked guys they never interested me as much as a woman's cleavage or the scent of perfume in a girl's hair. Of course now I realize I'm pansexual and I'm much more happy and secure. But what bothers me is that right after all of that Trini goes onto talk about her family issues and says "they like labels." Hold up "labels"?! LABELS?! No, you did not. Come on guys you already said Billy was on the spectrum, why are you backtracking to the stereotypical "labels" shit that they do with bisexual people on tv instead of just saying they're bi?! Ugh. Part of me thinks that maybe, just maybe they thought saying "labels" was the same thing as saying "I'm on the spectrum" instead of having Billy straight up say "I'm autistic." Maybe they thought it could be inferred and people would be happy? But they really fucked up there. I wish they had shown us more of Trini's mom too, the way she talked to Trini, asking rapid fire questions and slamming her hands down on the table while screaming "say something" just made me think about how maybe her mom is abusive to her. She does give Trini a cup to pee in when Trini makes a comment about how she thinks she's a super hero and that's kind of funny, but coupled with what she had done moments before...I think at the very least she and her mom have an emotionally abusive relationship, but the fact that questions weren't asked about the holes in the wall Rita left behind while beating the shit out of Trini...makes me think its progressed past that. One thing I noticed in the film is that we know that Trini and Zack go to school with Kim, Billy, and Jason; yet we never actually see them in school with the other 3. A lot of scenes are in detention and Trini and Zack aren't there until the very end of the film, but I feel like Trini and Zack never get as much development as the other 3. I mean we know their names are Kimberly Hart, Billy, Cranston, and Jason Scott, but we never once hear Zack Taylor or Trini Kawn. They're just Zack and Trini. I'm guessing Taylor and Kwan aren't even their last names now with the the ethnicity change. I've read a couple interviews from the people who worked on the film and I know a lot of the deleted scenes involve Zack's back story. Even looking at the trailers I know they deleted the scene of Zack jumping over a house, Trini at her deface locker with the things "loser" "ugly" and "die" written on there, and a scene of Zack morphed and running around at night. So I hope the dvd is either an extended cut or includes these scenes. I'd like to make some comments specifically on Kim, I mean she's my love so I kind of have to. I thought that Kim's switch from gymnastics to cheer leading was arbitrary, but it still made sense so I won't complain. When she passes her former friends in the final fight and they get hit with rubble she says "serves you right" and then Billy's bully hops in the car to shield himself. This implies that Kim's friends are on the same level as the bully. But all they did was cut Kim out because she sent her friend's nude to her boyfriend and made fun of her. That's...extremely reasonable? Kim was actually really shitty there so they didn't exactly deserve anything. However, if we go back to how they cut out Trini's locker scene, a part of me wonders if they're the ones that are picking on Trini. Trini seems to have an unexplained amount of hostility towards Kim that I don't think can just be explained by Kim not knowing Trini well after a year of her attending the school. It would make sense, even though they cut Kim out for a good reason, they seem to have mean girl tendencies and I almost think they are the ones making Trini's school life hell. Also though, I'm not a popular person and never have been. Super popular girls in a bathroom stall together and then falling out giggling in a flirty way? A popular girl sending a nude to a friend in confidence? That doesn't make sense to me. Is Kim's friend bi? Did she send Kim the nude hitting on her? Was she making out with their other friend in the bathroom? These are all thoughts that come to mind that I feel weren't explained. I mean I've seen girls come out of stalls together giggling like that, but that was in a Barnes and Noble bathroom where I hid for the entire time they were having sex. I couldn't leave because it was embarrassing but it wasn't fun to sit there and listen either. Another thing that they cut from the film, which I'm actually glad they did, was the Jason and Kim romance. It's still partially there, you can see it, but without the kiss and any sort of declaration of feelings it can also be read as just close flirty friends. I hated the idea of a romance happening between them in the movie. I was so against it, so when they cut the kiss out of the film I was actually really glad. Now if they have Kim be with Tommy in the second film, hopefully there won't be a love triangle there. I don't really ship Kim with Jason or Tommy, I'd be fine if they cut the romance entirely, but she's bound to be with one of them at some point. We know that Tommy is coming because of the lovely mid credits scene, a zoom in on a green jacket while the teacher in charge of detention calls for "Tommy Oliver" who is not present. I hope, hope they do something with Tommy's ethnicity too. I would love if he was Native American or something like that. In all honesty I was hoping that maybe we'd get a female green ranger, I mean in the scene at the very beginning we see Rita in the full green ranger armor so we do technically get a green ranger, and she's in the corrupted version of the armor for most of the film. But I was hoping that maybe they would make Tommy a girl so the main green ranger would also be female? But Rita as female green ranger in the past is good enough for me..for now. Overall I loved the film for what it was, I am bitter there wasn't more character development for Trini and Zack, but I'm glad with how it turned out. I think one of my favorite scenes was early on in the film, after they first got their power coins and they were running away from the mine. I liked how all 5 of them ended up in the car together to try to escape. The whole scene just came off as so pure and I loved the way everyone moved around during it. Yknow right up until they were hit by the train and almost died. I guess if I had one last question to ask about the film it would be: what the fuck did Trini do to get put in detention at the end of the film? Jason is there because he broke into the rival high school to put a stolen bull in there, Kim is there because she sent her boyfriend a nude of one of her friends and then punched his teeth out, Billy is there because he blew up his lunchbox, and we can infer that Zack is there because he skipped so much school taking care of his mother/finding a way to cope with the idea that she might eventually die that he probably has to be there every weekend in order to graduate. But what did Trini do? She goes to school, does her homework, and flies relatively under the radar from what she told us, so why would she end up there?
