can i tell you all about my conspiracy theory that roberto chose to do heathers as the season 3 riverdale musical specifically to SEO-bomb and suppress out of google-documented existence that horrible right-wing heathers 2018 miniseries that was developed as probably the most blatantly contemptuous cash-grab riverdale rip-off of all time so far

heathers the edgy tv reboot was essentially the evil (straight, boomer-oriented) version of riverdale that tvland funded. it came out in 2018, was hated by everyone and undoubtedly flooded the riverdale media team's google alerts during its whole short and notorious run

and nowdays. well. guess how many qualifiers you have to add to your google search to find reviews of that horrible 2018 heathers reboot where all the minorities were the real bullies because they could cancel people. it's a lot of qualifiers if you don't want to just see chapter fifty-one: big fun

The writers either legit forgot Salem exists or they don't have the mental capacity to remember someone other than rwby/j existed in the series

Maybe make rwby ask the blacksmith lady about her? Maybe a way to defeat her with ever after magic stuff??

The tree literally created the brothers, it obviously could undo whatever curse they put on Salem and oz or fix them or something, a soul knife wish thing de-ages Jaune why wouldn't ever after have more op items they could use/make?

Freaking make oz or Ruby or whatever do what Alyx did (exept they're still alive but missing a part of themselves or something) and have that fix Salem/kill her like she wanted? And end oz's curse as well

But no let's just keep this The Irrelevant RWBY Filler Volume

the difference between the fourth wall breaks of something like the Deadpool movies compared to something like Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn and She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is that every joke in Deadpool feels masturbatory like the writers think they're so hilarious for doing a fourth wall break like that's never been done before whereas both of the other two not only feel right at home with the characters' personalities but are much more natural and much more well done compared to the jokes in Deadpool or its sequel. (do not get me started on Deadpool 2, the movie sucks ass in basically every way except for the characters of Domino and Yukio. every single joke in it was outdated before it was even written. they were making fucking dubstep jokes in 2018. it was a 2012-ass script made way too late and riding on the coattails of the first with even less effort into being actually good.)

but the difference between those properties is that Deadpool wants to be congratulated for being some insanely crazy shocking movie that's pissing off the studio system or whatever but every single joke in it was approved by those people because it makes them money like it's so antithetical to the entire point they're trying to make and it makes for a very infuriating watching experience sometimes. the cognitive dissonance is hard to swallow with that one. but the way BOPATFEOOHQ and She-Hulk do their bits feels so much more authentic and less self-congratulatory and also just like they're clearly done with so much more passion and effort and care? when I watch either of the Deadpool movies, I feel like I'm watching a bunch of executives jerking themselves off. when I watch the other two, I feel like I'm watching a passion project that the executives clearly didn't give a shit about and thus the creative team were actually allowed genuine creative freedom with not a lot of oversight. that's a little less true with She-Hulk (especially in terms of that glorious finale although even that feels more authentic and artist-driven than most things in either Deadpool movie. Kevin Feige's boring, sanitized ass does not have the range to do that finale) being a MCU property although Phase 4 was so fucking experimental and it was a joy to behold even if not everything hit but it's still true and more authentic for the most part. with Deadpool it feels like the only person who really really cared about it was Ryan and like maybe a few of the other actors who actually did do commendable work with what they were given but with the other two projects, it feels way more collaborative because every single person showed up and cared deeply about what they were making.

(this is an addition to the tags bc I ran out [apparently i forgot there was a 30 tag limit] but. anyway the point is. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is a phenomenal movie in basically every single way and you should watch it.)

Why is it that bands that start out writing about life and dreams and stuff inevitably. Inevitably. Hit their twenties and suddenly discover sex and romance. And then that’s all they write about.

Why.

I really need Across the Spiderverse and the Mario movie to win. We could've been in a new era of animation but because megacorporations (mainly Disney and streaming services) have been massively screwing over animated show in order to save a few pennies

HBO -- Do I need to say

Inside Job -- cancelled despite being incredibly popular and had already been greenlit for a season 2

The Owl House -- cancelled and shorted

Steven Universe -- cancelled and shorted

Dead End Paranormal Park -- cancelled

Amphibia -- terrible advertising

Strange World -- terrible advertising

(In all honesty, I'm sure that Arcane would be cancelled if it wouldn't piss off Riot.)

Not to mention, AI art is slowly beginning to creep it's way into the creative space and how oversaturated Disney is getting with live action remakes that add nothing (if anything, they take away a lot of the love from the original source material). But for things like the Mario movie and Across the Spiderverse, we could finally give animation another fighting chance.

They're two animated movies aimed at a younger audience and not made by Disney. If these get more popular than whatever Disney might do would be great and may let other companies finally stop cancelling their animated shows.

I HATE HATE HATE LISTENING TO OLD PUNK SONGS AND FEELING EVERY FUCKING SYLLABLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS ALBUM FROM 1996 IS GROWING MORE AND MORE ACCURATE AND IMPORTANT AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME ABOUT THE SAME INJUSTICES AS PUNK TEENS FROM THE 80s. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING GO FORWARD AS SOCIETY THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET BETTER I WANT NEW STRUGGLES! NEW! STRUGGLES!!

But, as Social Distortion put it so nicely in 1996: "Taking two steps forward and four steps back." (from Don't Drag Me Down, which is scarily accurate, h e l p.)
