a year too late but I finally watched The Acolyte

[pickypickypeak]

i honestly just want these people to leave the wish fandom already so that this space can be filled by people who actually love and appreciate the movie instead of spending too much effort on something they hate

I just wish they knew they’re still complaining about something they almost completely made up lol. Almost any Wish complaint I see now is something along the lines of “the concept art looks better than the movie” which tells me you went to Tiktok School of Misinformation

The Calarts term iirc started from the creator of Ren & Stimpy???

I just looked it up and yeah apparently? (I genuinely had no idea😭)

marvel/sw/disney haters will claim they don’t care about a new show or movie coming out and then spend 24h bomb reviewing it on websites which no one even takes into account AND THEN they’ll be like “marvel is getting so pathethic🤣🤣”

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

While there are valid criticisms towards Lilo & Stitch’s remake, some of the takes regurgitated by Internet ppl r just blatantly misworded it’s frustrating

Yeah. No surprises here

Here we go again🙄

Animation twt blaming Elio's low box office on lack of marketing and CALarts style

"Support original ideas" my ass when this is how they behave when original films don't get traction

Are they already hating on it?? I swear I hope I can see this movie in theaters it looks so fun🥺 Disney DID advertise it poorly but. I’m fully convinced people have now fallen to “oh well it’s coming on disney plus anyway” unless it’s something really big like Inside Out 2. Anyway I hope the “we want original ideas!!!” people are satisfied with this one?

not saying that the reasons why people don't like the stitch remake is not valid, but there's something iffy about how most of the people who criticize its themes and culture significance are from white viewers

kind of like how in the snow white remake, criticism towards the choice of the dwarves being cgi are mostly from people that don't have dwarfism and from what i heard and read, people in the dwarfism are split on the matter, hell grumpy was voiced by an actor with dwarfism who played other dwarves in previous snow white adaptations

i get the intent with their criticism towards certain works' depiction and cultural representation, but i find it uncomfortable they are speaking for them instead of letting them speak for themselves

I’m really not seeing all the comments, but of course there’s the usual bandwagon of people who don’t even know which movie’s being discussed yet they just join the hate. However, I HAVE seen complaints from the target people that dived into the cultural issues of the changes. Just like Moana 2 had pretty good reception about how it portrayed Polynesian culture (iirc?), I think people now are allowed to criticize Lilo & Stitch for the same thing if it did it wrongly (and, while it isn’t my place to say, I believe it did at least partially).

I see your point though and it would be so cool if people learned to listen to ACTUAL reasons why a movie is bad other than “bohoo disney bad”.

The seven dwarfs complaints made no sense in the first place because fantasy dwarves were never required to be portrayed by dwarf actors in previous movies and shows either (not just Disney, also LOTR?), sorry but I genuinely can’t believe the same people who claimed their childhood was ruined by a black mermaid suddenly cared so much about the inclusivity of dwarf actors in hollywood? They literally couldn’t care less about the movie and just wanted something to complain about

Fandoms also have the tendency to empathize with white characters no matter what while not giving the same grace to Black characters. How stans kept throwing pity parties and write metas for Walker and Bucky in TFATWS and Thunderbolts pc while villainizing Sam for not acting like a therapist/support for their faves instead of trying to see his pov is an example of that.

Wait you’re right. Many things characters of color are blamed for are things that white characters could probably get away with

Incredible things happening on my timeline

[pickypickypeak]

genuinely irritated about the prevalence of brother-sister character designs where the brother has a huge nose and the sister has a tiny nose. 1) why are you a coward who hates the joy and beauty of women with big noses 2) have you looked at any real human siblings lately 3) why do you appear to think the nose is a secondary sex characteristic

i think one of the best parts about being a teenager in the early to mid 2010s was that cigarettes were definitely not cool anymore and vapes hadn’t popularized yet so my lungs made it out of my peak impressionable years relatively unscathed

one thing i love about the pokemon anime is how it makes every move badass

games: String Shot lowers your speed by 1 and is pretty much the first move you replace on your pokemon

anime: if Caterpie catches you slipping it will literally suplex you with string shot

underrated form of humour: tumblr post tagged with the name of a character who would NOT say that
