wHAT THE FVCK?? YOUTUBE?? WHY

[asthevermincrawls]

I think this person on reddit summed up the youtube adblocker situation perfectly. my reaction to this is not "oh man guess I'll watch ads." its, "well, I guess I'll just do something more productive with my time." I highly doubt any adblock user is going to willingly go back to watching ads. so what actually happens is youtube loses a functionally tiny amount of its userbase--because adblockers weren't even losing them a significant amount of money in the first place(!)--and a bunch of adblock users move on to something else. what a fantastic waste of time and effort

Just tried to skip an 18 minute corporate training video that basically says "don't directly touch or DRINK chemicals" when I was halfway through and it forced me to go back to re-watch it

This is my joker origin story

Love a self-inflicted time loop. The main character isn’t trapped.  They can stop whenever they want.  But how can they when things aren’t perfect yet?  They can do better than this.  They need to try again.  They can get it right this time.  They just need to try again.  They can stop anytime they want.  Just one more time.  They can fix this. They just need to try again.  There are still things to fix.  They just need to try again.

I've found if you're making a complicated recipe it helps a lot to identify which steps can be done ahead of time so here are some tips I use

pre-cut any vegetables: get your vegetables together and do any chopping or mincing that needs to be done

place the cutting board with your vegetables in the unplugged countertop toaster oven. vital step to minimize the number of cat paws that get in your vegetables. do not skip this step.

pre-mix sauces: identify any sauces that can be made ahead of time and mix those ingredients

put the sauce bowl in the microwave for safe keeping. we're not heating it. it just lives there. this is very important to minimize amount of cat paw in sauce. do not skip this step.

assemble any dry mixes you might need

place the dry mix in the not-turned-on oven. this helps protect the flavor by minimizing the chance of the dry mix finding new life as crime-scene toebean footprints walking away from the kitchen. do not skip this step.

After watching that movie and thinking about it for the past day, I feel like I understand why I didn’t like the Donbrothers segment (since it was a crossover)

It’s because it didn’t feel like a donbrothers segment

Like although I joke about the show being a fever dream. It had heart. The characters began as assholes and self absorbed. If it weren’t for the superhero duties none of these people would have interacted as they come from all walks of life.

But as the series progressed, they had to deal with each other’s flaws and weaknesses and confront their own issues to work together as a team. They learnt to care for each other and make genuine bonds with each other. No matter how crazy the hijinks were, they became a found family and I loved that. Even the antagonists learnt how to live like humans thanks to the main team and culminated in them working together as a single unit.

In the finale, Tarou asks the rest of the team if they regretted joining the Donbrothers. And that was when we got to see how they’ve all matured. It was really nice to see and I think the finale was a satisfying conclusion to Donbrothers.

Yeah now time for the ranting

Okay so you know how I explained how all the characters matured over the span of the series and became better people as a result of being in the donbrothers team. Yeah we throw that all in the bin in a time skip one year later. Now all of them have gotten inflated egos and think their too good to be part of the group anymore. They literally threw out all of their character development just for a 20 minute segment where they had to ‘relearn’ how to be a hero.

The most egregious part was how they did Jirou so dirty. He had gone from a naive but endearing wannabe superhero into a more heroic and calm character by the end of the series. But nooo. Now he’s stuck up and a whining baby shouting orders and blackmailing the rest of the team. He also fought with Sonoi and while in the main series they did hint towards another spar to see who is the stronger, Sonoi stated that Jirou WAS NOT like the person he first fought at the beginning of the show. Even at the end of the crossover movie, he still doesn’t learn anything and is instead rewarded by showing a woman who looked like a past love interest WHICH DOESN’T MAKE SENSE AT ALL!! Look if they wanted to show Jirou’s flaws as a leader that’s fine but they could have done it in different ways not ruin his character entirely in the process.

Another small bit that I don’t think most people cared about was that they did Natsumi dirty as well. She said two lines in the movie but it was so different to how she was portrayed in the series. A multi-faceted character with an overarching story with two of the main characters in the most soap opera I’ve seen got boiled down to “I don’t want you to talk to him, he’s my ex plus it’s awkward ” which was not how she felt at the end of the arc. They just wanted to make cheap drama and didn’t look at her character as a whole.

Then there are the character deaths. Look I know people die and come back to life willy nilly but COME ON. Sonoi dying in the last five minutes with no big impact save for Sonoza finding him dead at the oden cart. No scene where the characters would find him. Smh. I’m pretty sure it will be resolved in another movie or V-cinema but that was such a dumb decision to make. Also Tarou dying didn’t feel as emotional it just felt like something to move the plot along and while I did like the funeral scene I think it should have been handled a lot better.

I feel like the Donbrother segment didn’t have a clear idea on what it was going to be about so it just went “hey let’s revert the characters back to square 1 and make them relearn the lesson” but that just cheapens the story of Donbrothers. It didn’t have heart, it was more hollow.

There were parts of the movie I did enjoy.The humour was great and the interactions between the two sentai teams were nice and fun. They should have focused on that more in my opinion and integrating the two plotlines together rather than having it be two separate bits and an interaction in the last 15 minutes. They had a perfect opportunity as both series have a Kaito so explaining that would be an easy way of creating a movie but eh it is what it is.

Yeah I’m done ranting about the movie. Overall it was a 6/10 nothing too special. My opinion is my own and I understand that it will be different to others (seriously I went on Twitter for the first time just to see other people’s opinions and people were praising it). I will watch it again in the future to see if my perspective changes but until then it was an eh movie without cool set ups but was a disservice to the original donbrothers journey.
