Dude they have so much chemistry, how is that possible? More than anyone else on the show! It’s insane!

How are you? Awful, I know we have to be calm, but everytime I think “Calm down, Viri,” I get more nervous. I feel the same.

What would be the point or making a teen show where all characters react perfectly? Can you explain? Cause I’m certainly not interested in seeing unrealistic characters.

the fact the storyline itself is badly done but there is so many small things could been done better and still they choose the worth possible outcome it truly susprise me because yes they been make bad writting choices in s3, and some less in s2, but this? like is so much, everything could been unintentional by amira, okay lets say it was intentional she could show some remorse? okay she didnt, lucas could NOT YELL IN HER FACE like that, like even the little things they still f*cked up, man im so sad i keep watching because i love the characters and im used to them but this is so bad

Bob saying that Bellarke were written as romantic...

FUCKING DUH. That was very blatantly obvious. Only blind people didn’t want to see it.

As much as I hate Stormfront, I’m sad She’s dead because I love Aya Cash so ducking much. Any way we can bring her back as a different character?

Hey @mourningtears have you bothered to really read all in the case of Breonna? Having “ties” to a drug dealer doesn’t make you guilty of a crime. She was never charged. She was never in jail. They found no evidence of any wrongdoing. The only reason there was a search warrant, was because the ex told his baby mama that he didn’t have money to give her or her baby because Breonna handled his money. They found no money to be handled. No drugs. No packages. Nothing. The neighbor who claimed to have heard the knock CHANGED their story. They had originally said they didn’t hear anything. Guess who can be easily corruptible and bought? That’s right.

Officers claimed that no body cams were worn. There are pictures that prove they had their body cams on, but never turned them on. Why?

Finally, where she hid or where he ran to while being barraged by bullets is irrelevant, and all of your other bullshit is irrelevant. An innocent woman got killed because of shitty police work and the existence of no-knock warrants.

1 officer charged with 3 counts of wanton endangerment, up to 5 years in prison, bail of $15k. Two other officers weren’t charged.

Imagine being in Victorian England. You call Sherlock Holmes to investigate for you. And in walks AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING UNIT. A Dorito in tweed. A brick shithouse. A man so beautiful your literal eyes melt out of your literal skull. Like. Imagine.

I don’t really understand what is happening this season. It’s frustrating that their clips are only 2 minutes long because you cannot advance the plot properly with such little time.

All I know so far about the main is:

She may be racist or a xenophobe

She may self harm (rubberband around her wrist which she started to pull when she got anxious)

She’s a typical influencer and her Insta life/personality is fake

Her mother may have some type of control over her

She may have Asperger’s syndrome or a bit of Autism maybe?

The fact that I cannot pin point a character and it’s been what...4 episodes is frustrating.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just do a Moyo season, I’m sure they had their reasons. I just wish I knew what they were.

Also, PLEASE BOYCOTT JASON’S NEW SHOW.

FUCK HIM.

[getthering]

Glad I haven’t wasted my time watching Jason massacre what was a beautiful show, for the past two years.

I just saw what happened and I’m not even surprised. Doesn’t matter though. In my mind Bellarke are married and that’s that.

This season is so good already!!!

Ok but way to diminish the importance of Mulan, by giving her some kind of special magic Chi as a reason why she becomes a hero. Who the fuck agreed to that?

The point and the relevance of Mulan, is the fact that nothing made her powerful or special. That was just her character and personality. ughhhhhh!

Mulan 2020 review

This is the first Disney remake i've cared enough about to review it, and i can only describe it in one word: dissapointing.

Spoilers ahead.

Now lets start with the things is did like!

I think the movie looks very beautiful, it's a nice color palette and the locations are all stuning, the set desing and photography is really good, i think this is the only aspect in which this movie manages to outshine the animation. It's never boring or ugly to look at, and im a sucker for a nice aesthetic.

I also liked Mulan, her internal conflict was nice, it showed she was a true warrior at heart, yes she was brave, and loyal, but she knew she wasn't true because she was being dishonest, the fact that it made her uneasy to know she was lying showed she had a good understanding of what it meant to be a warrior. I liked that.

I liked the ending and the reference at the begining to the original ballad with Mulan and the rabbits, i liked the action scenes, they were nice and i really, really liked the mid portion of the movie, it was the time i was the most entertained, the training part is the best part, the begining and the end were kind of meh for me.

As for the supporting cast, Shang was okay (i know his name is not Shang, i just dont remember how to write it) he didn't bother me, i like the ending they gave them, im annoyed by the fact thay they tried to made it seem like he knew she wasn't a man since the begining, we all know Shang was bisexual, Disney.

The witch and Mulan are sapphics and no one can change my mind, i liked her motivations, she just wanted to live in a society that would accept her for who she was, but the way she died was stupid, if she was going to die it had to be more epic than that, an arrow through the back while trying to save Mulan was lame (and also the death of a love interest, you can't fool me)

Now, with the rest of the soldiers we enter territory of what i didn't like.

When i first watched the trailers i was super excited. I love the animated version, but i was all on board with a live action Mulan that was all about war, battles, epicness and cool action scenes. I didn't want this to be a copy or try to emulate the original. My favorite part of maleficent is that is a new take on the original movie, it is not a afraid to go away from the source material, now i know Mulan is widely more loved than Aurora so they were probably scared of making it too different (also is disney kids movie) but if you took Mushu, grandma and the songs away, then go all the way.

I wanted an epic Mulan movie, i think the fact that it was princess movie held it back. Yao, Cricket and Ling only reminded me of the fact that this wasnt charming like the animated movie. If they wanted to keep them they needed to give them more screen time. Those characters are developed in the songs on the original, we don't have that in this version and honestly i don't think the cast had great chemestry together.

Mulan and Shang sure, but Mulan and the rest of the soldiers felt distant from each other which didn't help to sell me on them. I didn't find them annoying or unnecesary, just underwelming because everytime she said Yao my mind went to animated Yao (and how little we had seen about movie Yao to justify the playful i'll kill you myself banter).

The other thing i didnt like was the Chi thing. Like i know it is a thing in chinese martial arts, but part of the appeal of the original is that Mulan learns to be a great warrior like the other soldiers, there is nothing inherently special about her, she is just a girl in the army trying to bring honor to her family. When i saw kid Mulan do the back flip off the roof on the first scene i rolled my eyes so hard i could see my brain.

If they wanted to show Mulan wanst content with her role in society, little Mulan chasing the chicken was enough, the crazy ninja skills just took away from the experience in my opinion. The message of the original ballad is that you can't distinguish a rabbit from a female rabbit (i dont know the word in english for it, lol in spanish is a liebre from a conejo) when they are runing side by side, the message is you too little girl at home can be a fierce warrior, by giving Mulan an innate magic chi power they mess all that up. It was the WORST part of the movie, honestly without it i would like it more, even without the movie being an epic battle against invadors.

Keep the Chi, i dont care, its part of chinese traditions, but dont make it fucking magical, it didn't need to be.

Finally the ending. Mulan's magic kicks were cool to see in action scenes, but they were an awful way of killing off the villain, it was so anticlimatic i was legit waiting for the dude to actually catch the arrow and keep on fighting Mulan. I guess because it is a kids movie they couldnt have Mulan put a sword through his chest, but still, a cooler death would've been fine. I guess they wanted to trick us into thinking it was good by not having him die by falling into the fire thingy, but no Disney, death by arrow kick is just as lame.

Im ngl i missed the part where the emperor says to Shang to go after the girl but it wasnt something that made me like the movie less, i just wish they had made it different enough so i wouldnt have to miss those things. Like i said im okay with her and Shang not being really endgame, if they had Shang meet her at the village then i would've wished grandma was there so that was a smart move on their part.

Overall i think kids will enjoy this movie, but the rest of us who grew up with Mulan will just be dissapointed, this movie had great potential, i think the people who made it actually liked the character and cared about making a good movie, the fact that they had to combine action with a princess movie i think did not work in their favor.

I don't want to be too harsh on the movie, because i think they managed to give Mulan as a character something new, and im also a huge Disney simp, but if im honest, its probably a 6/10.

Are we really trying to ruin Sebastian Stan’s life?

The only people who should be remotely offended are Asians, and not every Asian individual will even be remotely offended by any of it. My East Asian coworkers are baffled by the outrage.

I have a genuine question

Do cancel culture people understand that people do grow up, and change their views and opinions on different topics?

I know I’ve said some ignorant things when I was in my teens/early twenties, and some of them racist towards indigenous people. The term in my country is called “cholear” and it’s been normalized for many years until now. And you don’t know any better, because you’re not wise or educated enough.

Growing up and getting the education that I much needed, has completely changed my mind and views regarding people, respecting others, using my brain before speaking and doing. This happens to many of us. We mature, we change, we become better people.

You younger generations, the “wokes”, have the privilege of having grown up in a more progressive environment that many of us did. Things that were normalized before, are not anymore. Before you cancel half of the world, you have to understand that not everyone was born in the same time as you and things were different back then. As long as someone has constantly shown positive change, that’s all that should matter.
