every single line is a whedonism, there's even a monkey cheese side character. the animation looks generic when its not a fight scene, and when there is fighting it looks like a shittier version of those hand drawn anime fights people post on youtube

it's loving hilarious especially if you just got done watching arcane or edgerunners

I liked it but I will fully admit that I have the kind of brain damage where I like practically whatever slop Bioware throws at me. Dragon Age and Mass Effect are probably my favorite video games, and I think the Thedas setting is really cool.

I agree though that the dialogue is bad, and falls below the norm for the actual games. I also think a lot of the "adult" Western animated shows suck compared to legit kids shows like Avatar and Korra, Infinity Train, Over the Garden Wall, and Star Trek: Prodigy.

We've had Castlevania, Arcane, and Edgerunners recently which have all set the bar extremely high. It's amazing when people actually try and make things that are good.

to be fair, it's for the best. konami is a gambling megacorp joke now and gutted their entire gaming division

also the show was cancelled (although it was finished, so that's okay)

In hindsight it was probably made specifically by someone who used to be an anarchist

Still high marks for featuring Viggo's hog and having him look directly at the camera and tell the audience to get over it

Actor/filmmaker Matt Ross is not an anarchist or a Marxist, but he and his family do celebrate Noam Chomsky day in honor of the lefty MIT prof — in fact, he invented it!

“He’s a great American, worthy of being celebrated,” Ross told the Track. “We celebrate Noam Chomsky day every year at my house. We give the kids a sweet and everyone reads a quote from Noam Chomsky.”

im sure that scene is meant to be silly, but i did feel like the movie completely endorses its messy leftwing individualist politics, broadly. the overall message isn't that Viggo has to learn he was wrong, just that he has to learn to tone it down a notch.

Imo the show hosed up by sticking with Trevor and co for so long. The third and fourth seasons should have picked up with Simon. As-is the show got bogged down with really dull side characters like Carmilla's sisters or the Japanese vampire hunters. The third and fourth seasons are really bad in general compared to the first two. Hopefully the series that covers Rondo and Symphony is good.

so i finally watched my dinner with andre because randolph carter mentioned it and i was just curious why you told him not to rewatch? i mean sure its just a long pretentious conversation but theres genuine self awareness and pushback which at the very least makes it better than jerkoff trash like before sunset

i was really struck by the part about how people act like performers and not themselves which is why trying to talk to people often feels like talking to ghosts which in turn makes it much harder to make a genuine emotional connection thats like a perfect encapsulation of our brokebrained internet age and its super depressing how in context this is just supposed to be a regional class based criticism of the kind of new yorker who always bitches about wanting to leave the city but never does

captain fantastic is such a weird loving movie because it simultaneously embodies the most extreme positive stereotypes of home schooling but also the most extreme negative stereotypes of home schooling the idea that a kid can fluently speak foreign languages yet not know the colloquial slang terms for shoes is just bizarre knowledge has to be applied in order to be maintained but most of the showoff stuff the kids do has no relevance to their daily lives and they have almost no context for even being able to understand why that stuffs important

now leave no trace on the other hand one hundred percent owns because instead of being about yuppies going full harrison bergeron it's about a normal dude who doesnt fit in with normal society and doesnt want to fit in with normal society teaching his daughter the survival skills necessary to live on the margins consequently shes super competent but only in her narrow background and also self aware enough to understand her own shortcomings the kids in captain fantastic are basically superheroes by comparison in terms of their improbable schizoid skill sets and personalities

i didnt like captain fantastic when it was new but the movies assumptions have become very perniciously repulsive to me over the years now that i can compare my home schooled niece and nephew to literally any other random kid i meet and shudder in internal horror about how grotesquely ignorant they are about any subject that isnt considered a priority by the youtube algorithm

I think you should shudder in internal horror that they’re lives are subject to the YouTube algorithm and not what the algorithm lacks
