#yada yada something ‘if you don’t learn history you’re doomed to repeat it’

[chibishortdeath]

did you know Dissonance also has the Simon wraith.

Yes! And if I remember correctly they are found in the Wailing Way and the Shrine of the Apostates (also known as Heretic’s Grave) both in castle B, which is near where the Smiling Statue (which looks a lot like Carmilla) can be found. :3

Also, the Energy Circle being found here, over a particular seemingly important marble coffin no less, is interesting considering it’s the whip upgrade that lets Juste spin the whip like Simon can in CV4 (albeit in way more neat of a circle lol).

Also on the topic of items, there’s a lot of interesting furniture descriptions too.

The Hero Statue and the Tall Clock seem pretty obvious. Simon would’ve been the most recent hero of the time and really the first of his family to get very much respect for it. The clock just directly mentions Juste’s ‘granddad’ so like yeah.

The Smiling Statue just straight up looks like Carmilla’s mask and is probably a Jojo reference since Carmilla is one lmao anyway but I’m not sure why she’s called a Goddess here, pretty interesting. These other two just had some weird descriptions of a presence in general.

The only thing I can’t figure out is who the Sage Statue is even supposed to be. The other two seem to have a pattern, so I’d expect like a Skull Statue or something to be Death/Dracula (as he was a skeleton ghost in Simon’s Quest) or something, but no it’s just some old guy. Maybe he’s looking so smug because he knows he’s out of place and messing with us lol. And the names of the statues also have some kind of relation to who they are (Carmilla smiles, Simon is regarded as a legendary hero) but the word ‘Sage’ just kinda doesn’t relate to any character I can think of other than like idk one of the random old guy towns people, but why would he get a statue? It’s odd, hopefully I’ll figure it out eventually tho.

Harmony of Dissonance has a lot of really interesting details in it, especially Simon’s Quest references, that make sense considering it takes place right after it and revolves around the plot of Maxim trying to recreate the glory of that last Dracula battle from it while not knowing the context behind why Simon did that, so they’re pretty intertwined in that way, it’s really cool :D!!!

I should probably make more general long analysis posts about these kinds of things sometime if I can actually gather everything into one place, cause this kind of random detail gathering stuff is really fun hehe >:3c. This also kinda just ended up a rant that left the topic and went to others so whoopsie (XwX)

Everything Wrong With Everything Wrong With Kung Fu Panda 2

ORIGINAL VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-S9yq3scHw&t=0s

1.(From the Description) “nowhere near as good as the first,” Is if it fair to sin a difference in opinion? Nope but I’m doing it anyway.

2.”Ooogway is dead. Does this mean the normal Dreamworks fishing kid on the moon is also dead and a ghost?” This logo variation has a dead character on it so clearly it means anyone previous on it is also dead! Amazing logic, Jeremy.

3.”What had brought color and joy could also bring darkness and destruction” “True but only also when the thing bringing color and joy is also made of explosives. I’d be really impressed if he has weaponized say, a rainbow” Jeremy is really pedantic cliche.

4.”I’m guessing in Kung Fu Panda 3, Po will fulfill some other prophecy, making him the Dexter of fulfilling Chinese prophecies” This movie that show, I think.

5.”Horrific Panda Genocide is implied but completely glossed over” Would you prefer this family film go over every gruesome detail?

6.”Where is he hiding out, Mt Doom?” This movie that movie.

7.”These movies are obsessed with the word awesome” I don’t see the problem here, I think it’s amusing.

8.”No one else is impressed as I am with Po’s ability to speak with large qualities of food in his mouth” It’s not like he could speak super well and frankly even for you this is a bit of a dumb thing to sin.

9.”Some choose to meditate for 50 years in a cave just like this without the slightest taste of food or water” “Those are the masters who died” Unless they found some spiritual way to survive without it.

10.”Shifu really knows how to cut deep” Cue weird rant that ignores how Shifu goes on to say it was his own fault for not giving Po a chance and yada yada.

11.”Po’s flashback is sitll inexplicably Two Dimension” Yes and….

12.’Thank you for coming to Dragon Warrior noodles and tofu” ‘Stage parents” What?

13.”Wasn’t this also the pig from the last movie that made fun of Po? Now he’s a smug dick pig” Someone pretending to change their mind about someone once their famous/well liked by most? How unlikely. Also, man are you stretching for sins today.

14.”Listen up adoptive parents, waiting this long to tell your child is adopted is NOT cool” Almost like that’s the point or something.

15.”Also, adoption backstory no one cares about” Jeremy is a heartless monster.

16.”This is the only time in recorded history a conspicuous trail of food has not ended at a box propped up on a stick” I’ll stop saying “How is that a sin’ when they Git Gud.

17.””One dumping please. Dragon Warrior sized” “The f*ck” What’s the problem here?

18.”For a flightless bird, Shen is frightfully flightful” Peacocks can fly though. Not far but they still can.

19.”Did anyone else just imagine a rhino with wings-” No, and it most certainly not a sin.

20.”Po Ball” Stop.

21.”The animators in this film got too artsy again” Yeah how dare they have a different art style for one bit!

22.”I probably made a The Jerk joke for the first movie but it bears repeating” I don’t know what said joke is but I imagine it’s dumb.

23.”Peacocks only live for about 15 years if he’s partially made of metal-hey this movie is making me learn” We interrupt this “Jeremy is fine with X sin” to bring you him complaining about doing research, that thing he SHOULD be doing.

24.”You’re just saying what’s happening right-” “Now” “He’s not talking to me, is he” Shen would be excellent at SinsSins.

25.”Paul Blart Panda” THIS movie has a fat character THAT movie had a fat character, and that’s a sin.

26.”Even though he’s a kung fu master, he still has some major issues with Self Control” Yes, because getting Good at fighting suddenly fixes his eating problem.

27.”Obvious Pac Man reference is obvious and not enough to save this movie” This sin was fun until the last part, come on man.

28.”I hate when the characters sin the movie in the movie. Makes me feel so unnecessary” But you sitll sinned them sinning the movie so clearly you’ll still have a job.

29.”Movie steals the-” Nope.

30.”This guy totally has a panda fetish” Kinkshaming.

31.”Bad guy is practicing his meet the captured good guy greeting as though he’s a good guy-” How so? Seems pretty bad guy-ish to me.  

32.”Since Peacocks are mostly flightless birds-” Already addressed this.

33.”I can’t feel my face” “But I love it” What?

34.”Sudden canon hits Po and I’m instantly reminded of Homer Simpson-” Of course you are.

35.His full sin is that Homer did that cannon thing so thus he’s not worried about Po. That has to be the dumbest this X that X ever.

36.”Would a panda really have a stuffed animal of a panda?” I mean, why not?

37.”Poe’s version of inner peace is remembering how his parents died” Well actually it’s coming to terms with all this, but eh, same thing, sure.

38.”Shen didn’t really weaponize fireworks so much as he just decided to point them at people and things” You mean like a weapon?

39.”Master Shifu Ex Machina” You keep using that phrase. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

40.”I remember this woman. I used to have interactions with her when I worked retail” Hey look another dumb joke that is not a sin.

41. I don’t usually sin the outtakes but he puts Pacman music over the Pacman reference. That doesn’t really work if the footage is already making the joke.

SINS VIDEO SIN TALLY: 41

SENTENCE: Running out of things to say

Quite the sin tally this time, higher than I expected to be honest. I repeated myself a lot but only because he does. Usually I do these really soon after re-watching the movie but it’s been a few weeks in this case so that’s why maybe the sins weren’t as good as usual. Ah well, I’ll fix that when I sin the 3rd one.

Next week, Spongey Off Brand Sins.
