Emily in Paris is a fucking wild show.

everyone else is hyper-focused on what a shitty person Emily is

but Emily is just an empty vessel with "midwestern American girl who's romanticized Paris to a deranged extent" downloaded into her firmware

her horribleness is a function of her own generalized incompetence, incuriousness, and unawareness

She's nice to people to their face, but then just oopsies her way around and creates problems for people near her both socially and professionally

She's decided she knows best because she's American, and she gets constantly and consistently owned because of it

and then the show screams at her to change her ways, to accept that she's wrong, that she needs to change her behavior, and then she just fucking doesn't

and the show goes on and Emily's life is literally worse for it

the showrunners keep letting her make the wrong decision and then punishing her for it

not in a way that would end the show obv

gotta keep the show going at all costs

but the fact that the entire comedic premise of the show is "Disneyland Except You Can Fuck is REAL and Standard American Hustle Culture is a liability there” means that show is weirdly revolutionary

I feel like the show’s thesis (to the extent it can have one) is: American Business Culture is harmful to those that perpetrate it and those that are close to it. It removes the human element from production in favor of machinoid algorithmically-defined perfection and creates a worse product in addition to a more hostile working environment.

And the show does this completely by accident

they're not trying to say this

but the formula they choose to follow ends up saying it for them

Factory Default American Girl (TM) + “fish outta water” + France is literal paradise also they have better labor laws than we do = American ideology is fucking stupid

its incredible

show still sucks tho, just in case that wasn’t clear

"Oh, come now, Teddy-Weddy. We both aren't exactly different, you and I. We both are forced to obey AM, we both like deceiving others and ourselves, and we like tits on any woman and or man." The Robot grinned, his facial features both handsome yet sinister. "Wait, I'm sorry, you're an ass man, aren't you?" Then the Machinoid cackled, a parody of true laughter.

random asks.   / always accepting.

    machines could paint their sentences with floral all they’d like, he could still feel the aura of them close him in. four walls. inching. inching. surgat gave him the same crushing claustrophobia. but this wasn’t surgat, this wasn’t even AM – perhaps even worse than it’s mastercopy. it had a face, sweet jesus, it a body. nothing he’d done could COMPARE to what those snickering machines had put him through ! 

    —- & the other remarks, the LEWD remarks, were added to rile him. nothing more. his body betrays this acknowledgement, to his dismay. blush forming along his throat & rising to to his ears. christ, it was warm. “ you’re SICK. as vile as AM & you compare the two of us ?? i’ve done no wrong &.  you, you - st - stay away from me. ” ted had never been a fighter & his defensive stance wasn’t much. closer to cowering.

What would you rate each movie wars from good to bad(or from most to least favorite) and why?

Not yet seen Heisei Generations so that’s not on the list.  Heard good things, but I’m waiting on a translation that doesn’t localize the dialogue when you are not supposed to perform a localization on Freaking subtitles.This is also pretty brief as..well, it’s a tumblr reply, so doesn’t get all my feelings on the films or every single thing I find good or wrong with them, just a general impression and a few things that make me like/dislike what’s in it.  

Buuuut I’ll be releasing reviews on movie war 2010 and Core later this year as part of my all-encompassing coverage of W that I’m actually working on editing this month.  my words on them are pretty consistent with what’s going to be said on that, just expanded there as opposed to here.1: Movie war megamax.The thing here is…I like everybody in this, and it ADVANCES everybody in this in some way, either from W calling back to when he met OOO, or the Fourze gang making reference to what Fourze originally was going to be about, or, for the ONLY time in Heisei Kamen Rider do the Original showa Riders come back, and not end up crapped on by a shitty event.  Plus, they all get to show themselves as competent fighters in this modern age too, against a modern fan-favorite antagonist organization that is shown that Even the Showa riders, who decimated every incarnation of Shocker (Outside of chatastrophically bad idiot plots) are having difficulty with Foundation X’s cells.  EIji, Ankh and Hina get good moments in the OOO’s portion that cap their relationship and put Eiji on his journey to mend Ankh that he now knows he will succeed in if he perseveres, Gentaro’s interaction with nadeshiko is sheer adorableness, and I Nadeshiko became the second Female kamen Rider to Actuall survive.  Yeah, she was captures to the movies’ villain could use her power and had to lose her physical form for a while, but at least we knew she wasn’t actually dead, which was only later confirmed by utlimatum…as bad a movie that Ultimatum actually is.2: Sengoku movie warThis one is good again for reasons similar to Megamax, proper closure for the returning hero group of Wizard (And an actual moral to it about letting go, fuck Kamen Rider Taisen), while the Gaim half has an interesting adventure playing into Gaim’s long game; so when you look back on this movie you realize there was a lot of narrative foreshadowing present in it.  Plus, Bujin gaim as a central antagonist for the teamup was a good one due to his dark mirror aspects of what Kouta could become on accident, especially since he facilitated interaction between Kouta and Haruto in the downtime of the movie, which even Megamax didn’t really allow to happen, as the one scene with Shotaro, Phillip, Eiji and Gentaro as more business talk than really getting to know one-another.  And Haruto Getting his new infinity ring fixed another narrative screwup from the end of Wizard itself.Hell, speaking of Wizard’s side…SHUNPEI ACTUALLY FREAKING DID SOMETHING!3: Movie war Full throttleI find it the weakest of the ‘good’ Movie wars due to some narrative hiccups and Drive’s portion and it’s ‘ultimate’ mystery being kind of weak, but Drive’s side is heavy on backstory for Krim and his pre-drive actions, while seeding a few later things seen in the series; plus Lupin is kind of a fun antagonist.  Gaim’s side?  The first signs of Mitzuzane actually having worked towards the redemption the exact end of Gaim set him on, Dragon energy arms Ryouma is glorious and good closure for a conflict Gaim again didn’t resolve between him and TakaTora(Batta), and we get to see that even with the powers of a god, Kouta is not all-powerful as the borg/Reaper-like machinoid threat is enourmous.  While there aren’t as good interactions in the downtime of the film as the Sengoku movie war, at least they gave Shonisuke and Kouta two moments to interact, one in the midst of the final battle that was naturally precipitated from both early stories (”I’m a Space god…I think.”), and the finalizing gratitude once it’s all done were good endcaps, alongside the implication at the end of the film of Kouta and Mai, Despite their Divine state and duty to watch over the helheim so it doesn’t run rampant again doesn’t mean they can’t visit their friends and loved-ones.The only real bullshit moment of it then, is the movie powerup cross-state forms coming the hell out of nowhere.  Just…why?  You already had the Lupin Gunner and Dragon energy arms as new collectibles to sell, Type fruits and Drive arms were kind of dumb.4: movie war 2010First movie has problems, but W’s half and it’s importance in culminating the first arc of W’s story and how that plays into the greater series hold it up immensely, whereas Decade’s side…feel’s like a rush job since we know they cannibalized what was originally going to be decade episode final into something completely different.  I think it’s okay, as it does give proper closure to Decade’s story that the TV show should have done, but there’s a lot wrong with Decade’s side.I’ll give it this, The final movie war portion where Decade teams with W?  That is the first Time Tsukasa has encountered a Rider that doesn’t want to or Tries to kill him.  it really informs why character-wise that Tsukasa would prefer to work with the Neo-heisei Rider’s after this; they weren’t necessarily jackasses to him, character-assassination being behind the cause or no.Ultiamtely Movie war 2010, when both sides are accounted for isn’t actually bad, but with Decade holding it back it’s not particularly good either.  Watch for W’s side.5: movie war Core.ALL of the bad movie wars have the same problem; a lack of involvement from the writers of the show involved in the event.  While Riku Sanjou AGAIN salvages this movie with W’s half and it’s exploration of Soukichi Narumi, OOO’s portion and the actual teamup are utter write-offs as they’re by Toshiki Inoue…and they make absolutely no damn sense.  While there is a way to Fir the Nobunaga story into OOO’s timeline by setting it’s events to occur in the background of majority of the series–starting in the single digit episodes and then concluding in the late 30′s continuity-wise–it’s an extreme headache to even try and figure that, since it has to sync with W’s timeline, and That can only be allowed to happen approximately a year after the final battle, since Phillip was effectively dead for around 9 months.  Setting it over a extended length of time to conclude near OOO’s end then also answers how the hell the Dinosaur Greeed and his Yummy are active, but you really shouldn’t need to do that kind of ‘it’ll make sense later’ kind of thing in a story that out-of-nowhere introduces those things.  Which was kind of the same damn problem with Ryuki Episode final, to show that Inoue when writing something for a Kobayashi series has learned nothing.  Or maybe it was done to spite her since the two don’t like each-other and she’s derisive of His father’s body of work. (Inoue’s Dad wrote a majority of Showa Kamen Rider)Not helped that Eiji Spends the majoirty of the film out-of-character, acting like a dumbass, and shoved to the side in what was supposed to be his own story, so Toshiki Inoue can write a ‘what-if’ story about Nobunaga Oda being resurrected in the modern era…and it’s in no way interesting.  And the final teamup is just…dumb, as things seem to happen in it for no reason.6: Movie war UltimatumHi, we’re introducing a modernized depiction of former heroes, and have set them up as the ulimate villains of this entire event.  To anyone who was a fan of these characters, Fuck you!  This was written by the guy behind Carranger that means it’s going to sell!…No seriously, the guy who wrote Carranger wrote this movie, no-one on the main shows was involved, and it SUUUUUCKS as a result as the guy is a TERRIBLE writer.  The ‘villains’ are all characters he wrote for too their original shows, which makes that all the more egregious.  The Poitrine plot of Wizards half was utterly stupid and a waste of time, and while the Fourze part isn’t entirely dumb, it showcased a series of actions that no-one at toei is going to respect or Acknowledge (Outside of this one scene in Taisen Z Where NEW!Inazuman inexplicably shows up) since they destroy the Fourze Driver in that sect of the film, but Since Fourze KEEPS APPEARING in Heisei stuff since it’s past the point in time of that destruction, no-one’s going to acknowledge that.  They intentionally put into place a contradiction that no-one is ever going to answer.  And the end-of-film teamup is just magnitudes of bullshit.7: Movie war Genesis:RETCONNED OUT OF EXISTENCE!  IT NEVER HAPPENED.  It suffers the same problem as Ultimatum, the guy behind it DIDN’T WORK ON OR WATCH either series involved.  Once again it’s a time travel plot, but things here all just fall into the heroes laps even though it outright contradicts material in the series.  All of the Drive gear was locked up By Krim?  Oh, suddenly Gou has not only his bike and Mach Driver, but a spare and deadheat so Shinosuke can transform.  Oh, they got sent back to the past?  They find Krim in a Bush.  Krim?  What are YOU doing here?  The rationale for the Roidmude resurrection?  never explained as they are FREAKING ROBOTS.  At least when Drive Saga 2 did that, they explained it as recovering Scattered roidmude data from their remains.  The renaissance Ganma?  their existence and plan contradicts what’s later explained about the Ganma?  Toucon Boost, and the way Takeru’s Dad Died?  Contradiction.  Drive Type zero?  Contradiction, and a big one due to how Protodrive functions.  The Shinosuke/Kiriko Wedding?  Contradiction and then later RETCONNED in the Mach Saga novels, as you don’t go from dating to wedding in the span of less than two freaking months.  Oh, we see sight of Nekrom at the end of the film?  Alan didn’t finish building that gear until around episode 16.  Just…FUCK THIS MOVIE!  AS Bad as Ghost Got due to it being screwed over, it struggled to get this bad in any individual episode that this one just had happen naturally.
