I thought Velma was a lesbian? Want there some big kerfuffle online about it a while back? I mean, besides the videos I've seen for research, obviously.

She has an onscreen romance with Shaggy, then an implied thing with Hotdog-water, a girl at school who's kind of a more socially awkward version of herself, nicknamed because she smells of hotdogs because her father has to recycle water at his carnival for washing due to money being tight.

Reminds me a bit of Gravity Falls, a few shows trying to write relationships clearly still have sitcom poisoning and/or the writers clearly have some questionable ideas about them and the expectations women have. Doesn't help that sometimes once a character is designated A Love Interest it ends up taking them over like a disease in the writers' minds.

I will say that She-Ra and the Princesses of Power did some amazing work about toxic relationships, platonic and otherwise. I went into that show expecting the same 80's crap, and while it does have some Steven Universe moments (IE a serious moment is ruined with some stupid comedy) there is more than enough awesome poo poo to bypass that.

IIRC one of the writers said that their intent was that she was lesbian (but not totally figured out) and that this was meant to be one of the reasons it didn’t work out with Shaggy.

BioEnchanted posted:The most annoying bit is that Velma is the entire reason the relationship fell apart. Shaggy was clearly trying to make it work, then tries to be pleasant with her after breaking it off, and she's just not having it, accusing him of dumping her for a dog. First of all, the dog was there first and secondly they have a very different relationship. Shaggy isn't trying to have a romantic relationship with Scooby, scooby's just used to a certain level of attention and takes it personally when that attention is diverted, because no matter how brilliantly intelligent he is he's STILL A DOG. Velma should know better. I always saw Scooby & Shaggy as kind of a parent-child dynamic. Scooby's smart but he can be impulsive like a kid & Shaggy is trying to protect/teach him while also being the "fun stoner dad".

I'm just reminded how the Brave and the Bold crossover movie had for the first time someone remember Scooby is a dog, and one who has a dog's senses but also the ability to analyse and relay information picked up from them in relatively coherent English. That someone being Batman, of course.

I think we can all agree that Freddy vs Jason (2003) is almost flawless but the one blemish I notice is when the dad is killed early on he is posed on the bench next yo his son who shakes him and his head falls off and then we see Jason standing there and he kills him. It’s just not Jason’s MO to do things that way. Totally out of character moment.

It kinda bugs me that his machete cuts through like entire people in the movie but then hits that one girl to send her sailing back into a tree after she makes fun of Freddy's tiny burnt sausage. If she's hit that hard she should have gotten sliced as well. I hope someone got written up for that mistake.

And letting someone wake up, have a big scare, and then kill him absolutely is Freddy's MO.

Early Jason was a bit more creative with his murder implements. He used a lot of machete but he was just as likely to use anything from pitchfork to a saw to a spear or even a harpoon gun. Heck I think he probably killed more people with his bare hands than a machete in the 80s. The 21st century movies lean a bit too hard on the machete. The golden age of Friday the 13th, and slashers in general, was when the films were just transparently vehicles for cool set pieces and gnarly special effects where they'd come up with creative ways to kill people first and then write a flimsy script around that. .

Watching Barbarians S2 on Netflix. S1 ends right after the Battle of Teutoburg in 9AD and, while highly romanticised, it was cool seeing some research going into che costumes or even the usage of classic pronunciation for the Latin parts. In the first 2ep of S2 not only we have horses with stirrups (that were not invented for about 200 years more), but one of the characters is a survivor of the razing of Carthage...from about 130 years earlier

You're think a ninja could just karate chop the bolt and break it. What kinda shoddy rear end ninjas be are you guys dealing with? Even ninjas in the 80s has laser gauntlets.

The ending of The Peripheral episode 7 (last Friday): That is not how the doodad works; it's been established repeatedly that it has a charging time. gently caress That said, I'm fine with it narratively. Great moment. Could have telegraphed it with background sound though to make it consistent.

Concerts in movies and TV shows always drive me nuts. They’re always blatant cross promotion and never resemble an actual concert. I watched an episode of Bad Sisters yesterday where two characters went to a Lizzo show. They arrived at the venue with “Juice” playing loudly and the daughter said “she’s about to go on!” even though it sounds like she’s in the middle of her biggest hit. But then the camera panned down the tunnel and you could see a DJ on stage, which means the DJ she hired to warm up the crowd is just playing the songs the audience is about to hear? Basically just Apple telling us “we did not want to actually get Lizzo to do a cameo on this Irish black comedy but stream her on Apple Music when you’re done here!”

Is it a product of its time or me just hating cringe comedy, but The New Girl is so goddamn over the top annoying as a character and show overall? Kinda like how after House, there always had to be some rear end in a top hat know-it-all on most shows? There always has to be some quirky Hollywood-style-spectrum person but they're just shown as wacky and funny instead of a real person?

What I've seen of New Girl is fine but in the early 2010s Zooey Deschanel basically had a cultural reign of terror over young white women and everyone had to try being "quirky" for a minute. It was a huge boon for the ukulele industry.

Splicer posted:100% the appeal of the final destination movies IMO. The first Final Destination is quite astonishingly slow, rewatching it years later. It takes forever for the first actual kill and it all feels like an extended X files or Millennium episode (which made a lot of sense once I realised it was Glen Morgan and James Wong creating it). The sequels are a lot more what I remember the franchise being.
