For reference about what i said about Enid's werewolf height the other day, this is how crazy her size is in wednesday's description in the novel and i hope SO MUCH they never change it cause it's both fun and funny as fuck

Example 1:

Example 2:

Example 3:

And now the side by side with my favorite werewolves one of them having until now the title of biggest werewolf

PLEASE NETFLIX THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY IT OPENS SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, KEEP IT, like, bring it into the show, also because the novelization as many others more likely than not was based on the show's early development and then still got approved in the end means that despite the weird ass golden retriver we got they were probably really going for a horror inducing werewolf in the finale, in the final side by side specifically if she was on all fours like in the show she would still be around Van Helsing's own height, this is insane, can my fellow werewolf nerds come talk about this we got a gold mine here on teenage show territory and i need more

#wednesday addams #wednesday netflix #blood moon wolf fanfics just got more to work on #enid sinclair #wenclair #because wednesday who was crazy about werewolves as a child addams would have a bigger crush than she does in the start #werewolf tumblr #WEREWOLF NERDS ASSEMBLE #hell i also want to know which “type” of werewolf she is in the novel if its the same as the show #or if netflix is still not fully sure were she will land when it comes to being fully turned #she's a “hispo” in the show very ginger snaps like #but we know she can be a “glabro” because of the use of the claws and strenght in seaosn 1 as well as the leaks on season 2 #maybe she can shift through the phases? im not sure they know were to land in werewolf mythology or if they will do their own thing #there are peculiarities about enid like how shes visibly in control or at least favorable to wednesday while turned #despite the show itself telling us there are cages for the werewolf students #aaaanyway please someone talk about this im so excited even if netflix dont have the guts(money) to do that level of cgi anytime soon lmao #hopes on a later or final season tho #werewolves #van helsing #mega lycan #tyler galpin is also around 3 meters tall as The Hyde but the show perspective make him seem smaller with the hunchback and the way he walk #wednesday would want to make tests and enid would be terrified but its nit like they are very good at saying no to each other

As much as I love the netflix shadow and bone and I really enjoyed watching it, let's be so fucking for real: it's not a good adaptation.

Season 1 was not a bad start. Like yeah you can have your complaints about certain acting choices and cgi and whatever (it is a Netflix show let's keep our expectations,,,,,level) but it was not that bad! It was fun, it was pretty faithful to the characters! In terms of book adaptations, it's honestly up there in quality. Season 2, though.

This whole show has been compared to a crack fic, and I second that---its not really the grishaverse. It's like someone's six of crows/shadow and bone crossover fic. Meaning we're smashing together two stories that are each already full of so much content on their own that it would be hard to do it all justice in an 8 episode netflix series. Even harder when you're combining 2 books, random storylines we pulled out of our asses, and scenes from soc and ck that had no business being there. I understand why they did this: six of crows is much more popular than shadow and bone, and the people at netflix wanted to get the most money possible from this. Alas, this hinders the story of the show so so much. For all it's flaws, there is so much good shit in the shadow and bone trilogy. There is SO MUCH that is so interesting, so poignant, so fun, etc etc that we entirely skipped past and cut out because we jammed so much other shit in there that had no reason to be. We skipped almost the entire plot of book 2! And while there's stuff in there that certainly drags on and could be cut, why did we cut out Alina and Mal's time in hiding? The Darkling finding them and everything else with Sturmhond? All the political shit that goes down with Vasily? Alina's struggle with being seen as a saint, her genuine struggle with being plagued by the Darkling? The reveal that Vasily was a fucking idiot and led the Darkling and the Fjerdans to the capital? The CHURCH SCENE??? WHITE HAIRED ALINA??? And that's just book 2! And then we get the canon divergence. Now I'll admit, I was slightly curious to see where they were gonna take this plot. However, if it was gonna go how they seemed to be setting it up, it would've been disappointing. I'm not a fan of stories where after the big climax the female lead loses her magic powers in favor of some peaceful life as a housewife or whatever. However, I loved the way the shadow and bone books ended. It was set up and foreshadowed that using merzost would have a cost. Alina willingly chose that cost to save mal, to have her happily ever after and her normal life which is what she always wanted. To prove the Darkling wrong. That's the important thing. Instead I guess mal goes "damn I know u literally brought me back from the dead but I'm gonna break up with u now bc I hate destiny I guess". And it seems as though the show was planning to have a storyline where Alina deals with having the Darklings power and struggles with whether or not she should succumb to the Darklings ideals or whatever. Which sounds like an interesting plot right? But guess what? WEVE ALREADY SEEN THAT SHIT IN THE BOOKS. IF THE SHOW ACTUALLY SHOWED US WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOOKS WE WOULDVE HAD ALINA STRUGGLING WITH HER LITTLE VILLAIN ARC INSTEAD OF WHATEVER TF WE WERE HEADING TOWARDS AT THE END OF SEASON 2.

Anyways. Netflix execs get ur shit together and start greenlighting adaptations that fans of the original material---who you are literally appealing to by making this adaptation in the first place---will actually enjoy.

#wrote this after season 2 released can u tell im bitter #my one conspiracy theory that i actually believe is that netflix purposely fucked up season 2 #so they had an excuse to cancel it #cos they're always going on about how once they get to the third season of a show its no longer profitable for them #or at least not as profitable as they want ot to be #so lets just make it bad so the netflix execs can be like 'look they didnt like it! we have to cancel it now no one wants another season!'#anyways i could go on and on about bad adaptations and sleezy companies and thier schemes to make more money #but i wont. we all know the gist <3 #shadow and bone #shadow and bone netflix #six of crows #six of crows netflix #shadow and bone season 1 #shadow and bone season 2

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

AtLA is a better show than LoK but the LoK fandom is infinitely more chill and way cooler than the AtLA fandom and I think it’s because being a fan of a show that’s screwed so much keeps us way more humble

#atla fans are so desperate for discourse they’ll be like ‘liking Iroh and Zuko is actually problematic now’#LoK fans will be like ‘yeah it’s kind of a dumpster fire but it’s our dumpster fire <3’#obligatory not all ATLA fans #but it’s a trend I notice #atla fandom salt #and like of course there’s discourse in the LoK fandom but very few of us seem particularly obsessed with defending how ‘perfect’ it is #which opens up a lot more good-faith discussion #and also big corporations like Netflix aren’t as obsessed with making money off LoK so there’s not really argument about shitty spin-offs #like yeah korra got put in Fortnite but we’re all just here for giving that gal a gun #like sure makorra vs korrasami yadda yaddayadda ur I think we’ve largely moved past that #while Zutara shippers and Kataang shippers are still constantly going for each others’ throats

MUNAAAA I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

#and how do you even go back and spin that lie #because obviously if the two other people said they chose money and then you come out and say you chose that #but it doesnt happen. recency bias babe you're gonna look the most suspicious.#ive learned so much about social deduction from clocktower #and also one answer being corrected is not that big of a difference in the first quiz #like no one knows anything that one question is probably not gonna make the difference #muna girl i was so on your side. why did you do this.#anyway hi im watching the mole again #unfortunately it is the only kind of competitive/reality tv show that is interesting to me #the mole #netflix the mole #the mole s2

I am so grateful that the Dark Crystal is, while niche, an established franchise with years worth of lore and stories.

Could you imagine if the movie never existed and all we had was Age of Resistance? Netflix canceled it and JHC wouldn't be allowed to make more stories with its characters and world because of copyright bullshit? I'd be heartbroken.

#I've been thinking about it as Netflix continues to trend more towards canceling their series that don't make the numbers they want #and how so many other shows are basically disappearing because of corporate right offs #it's always been tough for creators but especially now #to work so hard on something and then have it all disappear just so corporations save money #and because you basically gave the rights away you can't do anything with it past it #it's so shitty how easily disposable media these days #I am more than thankful for people who pirate #always supported it and now even moreso #media preservation is so important

It's amazing how quickly you can make someone turn on your company by making a stupid and insulting move

Force me to go through the front door and scan my card when I have backdoor business that never needed a card before (what? ...I was going to somehow... sneak in and... purchase things with a borrowed card? ...which I totally can't do from the front door after scanning it?)

Or like... twitterify your layout right after your users give you a bunch of money just cause they like you, and then refuse to walk it back

...or all the other things companies do that just kinda piss people off and then they refuse to acknowledge maybe it sucks and is stupid cause "hey, the customers didn't leave"... yeah... yet

#legit; as small as it is it gives me a hint at the direction things will head and that costco will get more and more anti consumer #and I'm in minutes going from an 'I love costco; it's how I afford to eat; go get a cheap pizza'#to 'you know costco is kinda frustrating and annoying and I don't trust their ceo... I'm not sure if it's worth your time and money'#like look back and; tumblr search willing; you'll find posts of me singing costco's praises; literal free advertising #cause while it's not right for everyone; man is it so much cheaper than places like walmart #but... I legit don't know if I can recommend it anymore #for one thing; when I signed up I just spotted the members desk; walked in the backdoor up to the desk; and gave them money #now... what? you gotta ask permission? I feel like there's a chilling effect on wanting to join... at least for my socially anxious ass #and again; I just whiff this as like when games companies add DRM that breaks the game... for people who actually pay for it #they're making me suffer a pain in the ass for no reason cause someone might not be giving them money #and now that person never will give them money... and frankly... if they don't pay the membership but spend $500 how much did you lose?#but like I said; I feel it in the air; that costco will start doing more and more anti consumer stuff #...do I think it's a good idea to join up when they're gonna slowly start turning this corner?#I mentioned that quote by the founder about killing them if they raise the price of the hotdog #but... the fact the founder felt the need to say that to begin with told me something #kinda gotten the impression that the ceo is greedy as hell and wants to drain the consumer (so... a normal ceo)#and this just smacks of netflix/disney #oh... did you hear about disney killing someone with a food allergy despite being told about it multiple times like when the dish arrived?#and now disney is trying to forced arbitrate cause they had a disney+ trial in 2019 #you hear about that one? cause that's a real news story; I'll find you an article if you don't believe it #anyway; this smacks of cracking down on password sharing to make up for hypothetical lost revenue #and let me tell you... if I could switch to pirating my groceries I would; I would download eggs #so this doesn't change costco fundamentally; but it does make it feel more hostile and like it doesn't trust me #it makes things feel more adversarial instead of like a partnership where they get me good prices on good things and I give money #and I just wouldn't be surprised if they start doing more things I don't like #things that make things worse... things like raising prices to increase their profit #...makes me want to... work on figuring out how to make everything myself since no company is trustworthy #they'll all turn on you in the end; the moment the wrong person takes charge they'll start to metastasis #towards the cancer of infinite profits #not saying don't go to costco... I'm saying don't get attached if you do; I think they're ready to do what every company does these days

This dislike and aversion from the Netflix series is less coming from me being worried that they’ll change the endgame couple (I honestly don’t care if they do) but more from the fact that I am annoyed that they are trying to retell this already amazing series through a live-action medium. (For a second time)

And that stems from just being sick of Live-Action adaptions from popular animated shows/movies in general.

Obviously, I have the choice not to watch it. And maybe I’ll watch it when it’s all been finished with and I have nothing else to do.

As I keep saying, I feel like this potential would’ve been better spent on making a series based on the Kyoshi novels (and by extension, Yangchen). I have nothing against live action adaptions based on books. I’m just tired of them rehashing from an animated property.

If you’re excited for it, then by all means, I hope you enjoy it.

#ventbending #netflix’s atla #I think their take on ASoUE was good #I have mixed feelings on FMA because- while it’s nice to see these characters re-imagined in real life- there were a lot of writing issues #and missing scenes #and I mean- the point of live action existing is- to make companies money-#but also reimagining how an animated character would look in real life #but I could just look at cosplay for that- lol

dude... movie tickets prices r kinda crazy (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠) i bought two earlier for a basic 2D showing and it was $35 like HUH? and like... it's for a date and i do want some snacks so i will get food too, but I'm also like uhh I'm generally just. not going to go to the movie theater and will probs avoid it going forward especially since things only seem to get more expensive in this stupid country instead of ever getting cheaper.

I'm sure it'll come out to somewhere around $60-$80 total when like. I have a ceiling mounted projector in my living room .... for no more than $20 bucks I could get a similar experience here AND we can smoke n cuddle and get trashed in private. and what, I just have to wait like a few months for it to come out or keep an eye out for a 3P stream.

i do not mind paying for the date itself at all, i am very happy to actually - i just think abt the strike going on and how these selfish bastards (studios and theaters) are squeezing EVERYONE for the most profit they can get.

paid streaming services suck, theaters are ridiculously pricey - as someone who stopped going almost entirely since 2016 - and it's just like y'all are BEGGING for us to just pirate and stream ur shit (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠⌒⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠┫⁠：⁠・⁠┻⁠┻

we need more theaters that aren't Regal and AMC, we need way more resources pumped into indie studios, we need new distribution networks that get the finished work to people who would want to see it without having to go through these greedy giants.

anyways. i just wanted to rant at no one in particular, I think I'm gonna start trying to host some movie nights at my place after figuring out what my friends are into.

#I do think studio/theater execs r massive fucking babies and should be beaten in the streets with hammers for what they've done #to creative expression though. sometimes i think about how we're stuck in an endless reboot/sequel cycle bc they don't #care about ideas or art or anything they just want the safest route to making the most money possible.#i think it'd be super cool if indie studios let u rent from them online so instead of having to go thru Netflix or something u could #just go to‚ say‚ A24 and pay to watch any movie right on their site from ur home.#and cut out the theater chains altogether. or At Least the big chain ones.
