Rest in Peace, Tony.

So Chainsaw Man just ended and oh my god, can I have a single mainstream manga that doesn't royally fucks up its conclusion ?

Because sorry but no, just no. It will take more than Power and Nayuta to sell me this ending as anything but trash.

Not only all of Denji and Yoru/Asa's development as well as their relationship has been retconned out of existence (what's the fucking point in reading the manga then) but in the end, Denji never really got to decide anything for himself.

He starts with zero agency and ends up at the same spot, because this "happy ending" is something Pochita also forced onto him.

Speaking of that where the fuck is Yoru in this ending ?? Did Fujimoto just... forgot about her ? Oh yeah I mean I can't blame him, it was just the MAIN antagonist of Part 2 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

And that's without mentioning the serious inconsistencies here, like why the Blood Devil is even back as "Power" but the Control Devil returned as "Nayuta" and not "Makima" ? It really feels like Fujimoto tried to bribe us into accepting this conclusion, I fucking hate this.

unbelievably relieved hulu no longer has the chance to ruin Buffy with a reboot the way they did with veronica mars

the concept of the world of buffy being written and directed by all women and without the influence of joss whedon is sooooo appealing but the fact that they cast another white blonde girl to be the main slayer, sarah michelle gellar’s continuously terrible takes on the show because she still hasn’t been able to separate her own experiences filming with that of what was happening narratively (she is still bringing up season 6 in a “well we all know THAT was no one’s favorite! it’s just so dark!” failing to grasp it’s one of the most profound depictions of depression we have in media that has helped so many of us during our darkest times), didn’t even have any of the women writers back like Jane or Rebecca to even attempt some form of continuity in the writers room with the people who showed an understanding of the characters that went far beyond most actors and fans, and still to this day thinks stalker, pedophile, rapist, emotionally manipulative and abusive (all with a soul) angel is buffy’s soulmate…. I didn’t trust her in the slightest to make sure this was handled correctly ESPECIALLY because she claimed “and just like that” was A GOOD example of a reboot handled correctly like bitch you are the ONLY person who thinks that actually because other than killing off big and finally freeing carrie it ruined the show for the rest of us

not to mention sound/lighting and costume department’s budget have all been absolutely gutted in the last 10-15 years and all three of those elements are critical to any production but for buffy ESPECIALLY and the likelihood the writing would be of the same caliber is practically nonexistent because young audiences these days need EVERYTHING spelled out for them and soooo much of the good buffy writing was in the showing not telling, there are still soo many arguments today within the fandom because certain groups are incapable of understanding what is being shown to them and what the implications are narratively and it’s only gotten so much worse

the concept in theory is so fun but in practice I was absolutely terrified and so am extremely happy with this latest news because it’s time for NEW stories with new faces and leaving the past in the past instead of trying to drag it forward with us when 9 times out of 10 we hate it when a reboot actually happens

My father was the wisest, most caring man I've ever known. I cherish every lesson he ever taught me. And every day he's been gone, I've wished we'd had more time. But my father is dead. Just like my mother. Along with the only world they ever knew. And I'm not the miner with the lava gun. In the end… all they could save of it… was me. I'm the last beast in the mine.
