is it just me or is snapchat really overhyped

taylor swift’s fame feels like the zeitgeist chewed on the concept of girlboss and spat it out wrapped in sequins. okay, she’s a talented lyricist. okay, she’s got the whole “small-town girl makes it big” narrative people eat up like it’s their emotional comfort meal. but where do we draw the line between genuine admiration and turning her into this untouchable deity of pop? it’s not even her. it’s the pedestal she’s been shoved onto.

the tortured poets department. girl, you’re not sylvia plath at the typewriter. i’m not saying pop can’t be poetic, but there’s a difference between depth and slapping a title that feels like it’s been through an insta-poetry generator. there’s this constant cycle where every move she makes is dissected, hailed as revolutionary. her eras tour... i mean, it’s like the hunger games of tickets. people selling organs for nosebleeds. why? why does it have to be this obsessive consumerism spectacle where she’s not even just an artist anymore, but a cult leader for people to worship at the altar of vinyl variants and limited-edition merch?

and don’t even get me started on the chart fixation. like, did anyone even enjoy music this year, or did everyone’s brains collectively rot into a dopamine chase of streaming numbers and records broken? congrats, she’s the first human to sell out mars. can we breathe now? people act like if her single doesn’t debut at number one, the entire industry will collapse. and the stans… you say anything less than “taylor cured my depression and reinvented the wheel” and suddenly you’re enemy number one. like, chill, she’s good, but she’s not a god.

still, i get it. she’s calculated in the best way. she knows how to pivot, how to keep things fresh, how to sell relatability while staying untouchable. it’s a formula, and she’s mastered it. she’s the girl who gets dumped and turns it into poetry. she’s the boss reclaiming her masters. she’s the girl next door who somehow owns the block. there’s something magnetic about that. but can we talk about how shallow the pop landscape is if this level of obsession feels normal? like, shouldn’t there be room for more than one messiah?

maybe the issue isn’t even taylor. maybe it’s us. this endless need to crown someone, anyone, to obsess over. the numbers game, the constant need to validate our tastes through stats. music is supposed to be felt, not quantified. but here we are, measuring streams like it’s a pissing contest. maybe we’re the problem. or maybe i just miss when listening to music didn’t feel like being a cog in someone’s marketing scheme.

Gonna preface this with , it’s just my opinion. You can comment yours just keep it respectful.

Okay …. I’m sorry but HOtD season2 to me was shit and ridiculous to the point idk how they got it renewed …. I recently saw , can’t remember where so idk how authentic it is but something that Ewan and Tom where nominated for supporting actor . I’m sorry but no ( they are decent actors , don’t get me wrong but …)

I think it’s just the sad state of entertainment in this era …. It all isn’t the greatest ….

Now take someone like Jack O’Connell he’s amazing , he bodies every role . Regardless of if you like his movies / tv shows he’s always amazing and he’s finally getting more and more recognition, also from Derby . Yet he’s charming and funny….

To me Ewan especially is overrated and hyped. He’s a decent actor but it seems he’s playing the same roles , idk could be me …..

DUBAI CHOCOLATE IS OVERHYPED AND NASTY

[maysshortmoviereviews]

Conclave (2024)

When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church.

A ridiculously boring story that’s misleading in both its trailer and synopsis. It's marketed as a suspenseful political drama, but in reality, it’s two hours of a snooze-fest where nothing truly happens, and there’s no real tension. It also features the usual Hollywood-style preaching. A complete waste of time.

Finally got baldurs gate 3 and, holy heck, people were seriously that hot and bothered over Astarion? He's literally just a guy who's a vampire and has a British accent. I'm convinced the hype was just girls who would have been Twilight girls instead had they not missed the bus by 10 years.

Like come on, I was expecting a proper femgaze thirst trap of a man and he's just like... a guy.

So, I have watched TADC due to all the hype that's been around it and I just... Don't see the reason for any hype to be there at all?

I'll break it down, It's not uncommon for Indie animations to accrue a big following that will stay with them throughout thick and thin as the major appeal of the genre is the romanticised idea of supporting an underdog and helping fulfill the dreams of an art school graduate in realising their own little piece of art. It is also not uncommon for this fandom to dissolve when they perceive an issue in this fantasy that no longer satisfies them like this, which results in all of the jumping ship that happens when a new project is released and the previous fascination is portrayed as bad. And of course the entire juvenile idea of there being mature animation (Read crass and rude, not actually mature.)

So it would make sense for the popularity of tadc to be from this combined reasons, and I feel the reason for this because i saw the show, and the only genuine way this mess would be so popular would be because of spawning st the right time, just as the magic from Lackadaisy and Spindle horse is dying a bit and people need to fix on s new project.

Because let's be real, there's no inherent appeal in digital Circus as a show. The promised theme of the show is Dark Psychological comedy. But like that's not a thing, that's a combination of words that doesn't actually mean anything, walk with me for a second. How do you do dark, psychological, and comedy at the same time. Think about it, yeah, dark comedy is a thing sure. But can you turn that psychological? You have to be serious to be psychological, at least in the way the show protrays it, and it's not working. I don't know whether I'm supposed to be deeply invested because the moments requiring that are cut short by comedy, and I can't take the comedy in because suddenly a serious moment requiring deeper focus.

For real, the whiplash doesn't work, it is a tone issue you're not sure how to approach and the writers certainly aren't skilled enough for this to work.

See the premise could work as a comedy, it very much could, but I'd believe people would hate it because fandom hates not being able to theorize and mysterize the show of the week. So we also get, some bits of seriousness, some attempt at a story, but without actually committing to any. We don't get enough of a story to fully grasp anything coherent, even for pilot standards, but what little there is, is distracting from the premise of no story needed just characters in a setting having fun. It tries to be dark and psychological by attempts of horror, except the "psychological" is just mental torture of the main fem character Pomni, which starts reading like outright fetishism of fem suffering after the second time we're very intimately shown she's breaking down. And the "dark" horror falls short because the inherent fear of the unknown from the monster, the mystery that contains dread is immediately revealed, and the existential horror is underutilized.

Speaking of mysteries, it's kinda embarrassing to try and pull a computer based mystery nowadays, and people fully accepting it as a fresh take. I guarantee you that any reveal of why something in this show is the way it is, will be very underwhelming. Possesed headsets, computer code going haywire, possesed viruses, government experiments, dead people souls in some code. Literally any explanation you can think of has been done, and considering how little these revelations add to a story, their only aspect being shock value suddenly dissapears, and now you will be left with a nothing of a reveal in your nothing of a story.

And that's really what it is. A sandbox, It's a tumblr post of one of the various potential cartoon shows like Officer and mr. Paws, except they actually managed to make a pilot. The only appeal the show has is introducing a few tumblr sexymen and sexywomen. I do not see any appeal in this show, no story it wants to tell.

I would say they're like clowns in a circus just playing for your enjoyment, which would be clever, but it's something so obviously advanced for how the show appears to be written right now that I seriously doubt that was an intentional parallel.

“strong team dynamic of inclusion” i should hope so with cashtthews & his fat new contract 🙄

I saw barbie yesterday (Im late i know shut up) and like i Do Not underatand the extreme reactions to it.

I didnt find it particularly groundbreaking but it was very entertaining to me, a woman in my early 20s (the literal target audience).

And conversely i did not see any real misandry happening like what. The movie is poking fun at men and exploring (through shits and giggles) the idea that extremely unfair treatment easily leads to radicalization. And barbie apologises to ken at the end - its not really a well handled plot point but the general message is that no one deserves to be treated like theyre second rate.

And also at most the feminism featured is very much feminism lite - from some of the conservative takes and headlines you'd think veers heavily left - i didnt get that, but im also a regular at tumblr.com so what i consider far left and what not terminally online people consider far left is probably very different lol.

Anyways all that being said, the movie is not that serious guys. We are talking about a famous doll and her loser boyfriend with some feminism sprinkled in for flavor. Idk what made me write all that.

American Primeval (2025)

It follows the gritty and adventurous exploration of the birth of the American West, the violent collisions of cults, religion, and men and women fighting for control of the new world.

First, this series draws you in, and you become invested in the story. However, when it ends, you realise what a waste of time it truly was. The ending was atrocious—a very miserable series overall. If you don’t feel miserable enough already, then by all means, give it a try, but otherwise, don’t waste your time. It was enjoyable at first, but I’m still furious about the ending! AVOID.

Nothing pisses me off more than when you're watching a TV show and see a fanbase OVERHYPE a character.
