Slight hot take but I feel like people who complain about too much lore/angst are the same as the people who complain about there being too little of it.
In the end if the cc! want to do angst or if they want to do lighthearted stuff is really up to them. Complaining about it makes it seem as though the cc! are forced to do it which they are not, if they are doing angst it's probably cause they want to.
Either way, it would be kinda wonky to just make things suddenly lighthearted now at least for certain characters.
For me imo the cc! downtime where they have fun and joke around IS the downtime inbetween the angst.

With more older anime I watch that’s specifically about androids the more I noticed all the influence mega man pulled from it despite it not being a anime nor the robot timeline ever getting a proper anime but I think what gets me more then “the basis of mega man is like astro boy, casshern and POSSIBLY kikaider all in a blender with mega man x making the second two inspos more apparent” is realizing how many villain characters inspired proto man.
You have the obvious one, char from Gundam, you have rock holmes from Astro boy who’s not a confirmed one but seems to track given classic takes a lot of Astro boy influence and then you have Saburo from Android kikaider, the most likely inspo for proto in EVERY category- and then you remember how while these characters are evil for a complex reason, proto man really shines to be different as he changed his ways. He’s still a rival to his “brother” in a sense but bass takes more of the role of the evil mega man, while proto just watches from afar and comes in to help when he thinks he’s needed.
I’m going to rotate this red robot fuck for awhile again FUCK

Wait what
Are we getting a new Brave/Yuusha webcomic at the end of July??? And an anime opening???
It looks like it will be a crossover of the original 8 shows + Baan Gaan, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. The main Brave's secondary or final form could be named Sworgrader if they stick to the norm and one of the Brave's components appears to be a Shinkansen (bullet train).
Here are some images that can be found on Twitter, Reddit and 4chan as well as the front page of its official website.
And here are some of the other sources I found:
https://japan.postsen.com/live-style/81069/Brave-Series-completely-new-Brave-Space-Saw-Radar-web-comic-serialization-starts-at-the-end-of-July--GAME-Watch.html
The second one was written in Korean but live screen translators exist for a reason and I used one to get the following screenshots. Note that the translation doesn't work at all and most sentences make no sense.

The people saying shit like the ear eating isn't about Jackie and Shauna being in love are stupid and Wrong. Like, genuinely wrong. Here's an interview the showrunners did:
https://variety . com/2023/tv/news/yellowjackets-premiere-showrunners-shauna-eating-jackies-ear-1235563321/amp/
(no space between variety . Com obvs but Tumblr be stupid about links sometimes)
Also they were on a podcast:
https://open spotify . com/episode/4WBBVxpcip9F8lz35zNAPC?si=5095e4e1514c4d67
(same deal about the . And spaces)
I haven't listened to the podcast myself yet but here are two choice quotes from someone who has that they sent it to the discord:
"it's very intimate...there's like an even slightly erotic component to it, i would argue...both friendship, but also almost a quasi-sexualized love, in a way"
" who knows how the dynamics of any kind of relationship would be different given a different kind of social context...given various repressive forces of the age...who knows what would have been different"
And I have some Thoughts on all of it but the ear eating is intentionally homoerotic
ok so. for the podcast search for "Prestige TV Podcast, Yellowjackets season 2, episode 1 recap" (that's a link but in case it doesn't work you can search manually)
and here's the article
i still need to listen to that podcast but THOSE QUOTES huh huh huh honestly if you don't think it's gay you're boring and i have no interest talking about it with you

Show! Me! The blorbo!
god damn you people work fast
alright but if i get bullied for it i'm lighting up the nearest cracker barrel stg
this fucker.
i'm pretty sure he only shows up in like 4 episodes and yet each time i see him my brain does something between a "." and a "!" like. "man acknowledged." watching this man is like watching a beetle or perhaps a moth. i know nothing of who he is or his thoughts. i know not why he's only here for a short time or why they use him so often for that short time. I don't even remember his name. I just know my neurons fire up when observing him in this show to a point where I may turn my attention from what I am doing while the show is on the background to watch He.
This is the epitome of Just Some Guy. This is white bread with barely any butter. This is a plain white tshirt but with a pocket on the front. This is a guy you see in a starbucks and find yourself staring at as you wait in line, wondering who he is and what kind of life he lives. This is a guy you match with on Tinder and you have to take a good 10 to 15 seconds to wonder if he's actually cute or if he simply looks inoffensive enough that the absence of any negative reaction counts as positive in your mind. He is basic and plain and simple and for some fucking reason his pure neutrality in and of itself captivates me.
I cannot tell for the life of me if my fascination with this guy is romantic, platonic, purely intellectual, or what. I think it may transcend that tbh. I think this feeling is the epitome of passing human connection. It's bumping into a stranger, having a pleasant 3 word interaction, and forever wondering if you could have kept the conversation going, longing to know what potential for friendship or closeness could have been realized, but knowing you will never get that chance again, and a stranger they will remain. It's looking at someone and wanting to know what the fuck their deal is, what actions they have taken in their life to come to your field of vision, directly in line with your ever curious, burning gaze. He's only been in so many episodes, but he is just so fucking normal that it's almost familiar, comforting to see him. It's like a brand of mac n cheese you've never tried that you know is going to taste the exact same as all the others. It's reading coffee shop au fanfic and basking in the simplicity. It's like a blanket at a hotel that's somehow just as warm and fluffy as one you keep at home. Familiar in that which you've never seen before. Basking in the few constants of the chaotic universe we live in. For me it just so happens to be dorky glasses wearing blonde twinks that are a dash of fruity.
either that or this would be normal blorbo territory for me save for the fact that i just finished watching neon genesis evangelion and it has been Affecting How I Perceive Characters.
