Homestuck's biggest problem is that it was written to be a niche anime aimed at weird analytical racists with actual media literacy and it accidentally blew tf up and hit the mainstream and a bunch of people who have never had a second thought about anything got into it

Naruto is such a goldmine of unexamined concepts hooboy. Like the specifically fucked up dynamic going on with the sand siblings. They first show up as a team of OP freaks and still the older two are terrified of their little bro. Kankuro is running around with murder puppets and juggalo kabuki makeup like some kind of temporally displaced Gamzee Makara and he's still scared of Gaara. Which does serve to build up Gaara as a threat but then Naruto Friendship Zutsu happens! And it's like... how do you deal with that. Gaara had teammates yet he was always alone. He had his siblings right next to him and he was so alone. What the fuck dude. And they don't even hate him is the thing. They're just like fifteen or some shit and their little brother has a straight up demon in him. And they have to hang out because they're a team and it's better to be on his side than crushed to death right. And then some other fucking kid with a demon in him saunters up like hey man i get it ): it sucks being all alone wanna be friends. And just beats him. You're a teenage mercenary and the murder monster you have to call your little brother got the shit beaten out of him in the playground and you have to pick him up and go home. And he's like wow that kid that beat me up was so cool i also want to be the mayor. Wild.

james charles truly wanted us to feel sorry for him receiving so many pleas for financial aid, and buddy. you're not special. between the multiple ongoing genocides and the economy going to hell anyone who's not in dire straits is daily confronted with people who are, whether on the internet or out in the street. I know it's not hard to ignore a fundraiser link because i do it all the time, because i don't have the money to spare. James Charles does, and instead of giving a bit of it away or just shutting the fuck up he's so unbelievably thin skinned that he has to go on a whole rant about how much seeing a poor upset him. Made sure to tell us how much we're supposed to praise him before he would consider throwing a pittance our way. Motherfucker. Between this and the child sexting shit you should be the one begging us to spare you from the guillotine.

"The first hour of Sinners was unnecessary..."

So you wanted to hurry up and get to the destruction of Black people without recognizing their humanity?

"The last act with killing off the klan was over the top..."

So you just wanted to end the film with the destruction of Black people without recognizing their humanity?

PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KLANSMEN GETTING OFFED? what the fuck that scene is actually amazing. the first hour is also amazing i was at the edge of my seat from second one but can i talk about the klansman down sequence for a bit because that scene does so many cool things

First and most obvious, it offers some much needed catharsis. The audience has at that point been through hell with out protagonists, watched them suffer and die and lose the people they love. The klan's destruction is a strong bright point that keeps the film from feeling too drenched in black suffering, while still keeping the tone bittersweet.

Second, it's a brilliant inversion of the stock action movie sequence of white protagonist mowing down nameless black and brown people. The klan are given less humanity within the movie than the actual vampires. It is notable that the only klansman to get any characterisation, the chapter leader, only really gets enough to make him more hateable. He's a condescending two faced prick on top of racist mass murderer and we get to watch him crawl on the floor begging for mercy from our black hero. It's a big middle finger to the casual racism of the action movie genre.

Third, it's a beautiful conclusion to Smoke's - or I should say, Elijah's character arc. He is haunted by two things throughout the film - his child's death, and his own violence. He killed his own father to protect his twin, and while justified, it seems this action and others like it have left him with quite a bit of guilt. So it is meaningful that, as bombastic and satisfying as his violence against the klan is, it all fades away as soon as Annie appears with their child. The satisfaction of revenge doesn't hold a candle to what truly drives him - love for his family.

Fourth, it parallels Sammie's confrontation with his father. Sammie's battle is an inner one, and it is illustrated in more literal terms by Smoke's very outer struggle. Their respective scenes build off each other. This also goes for the conclusion, where Elijah's reconnection with his family reaffirms that Sammie's holding on to the blues is keeping him connected to the ancestors.

Fifth it's a bunch of klansmen getting gunned down by a black guy are you kidding me. In what universe is that a problem. "Yeah I loved all the bits where black people got killed but the klansman massacre is where i draw the line" do you listen to yourself ever

alright so i got curious about invincible and three episodes in, it's... fine. there's nothing majorly wrong with it, it's just "superhero cartoon but there's blood and swearing" and im sure that's exciting to someone but if you've seen an adult cartoon before it's nothing new. there's some light pc culture humor that feels like is there just for to make it feel more modern but also makes elements like marks absolute fossil of a gay best friend character just stick out more. maybe they're buiding to a reveal where it turns out he's actually straight.

i am invested on the main mystery surrounding omniman - i know the twist where the vitrumites turn out to suck and episode 2's ending implies he's trying to conquer earth but there's clearly something more going on here. i care enough about mark as a character to want to see how that all shakes out. i also don't hate the whole "spot the superhero reference" thing going on. i like that triplicate duplicate girl has one of her selves just dying all the time i think that's kinda funny.

the thing that led me to hearing enough about it to even want to watch it was some drama around the animation quality and. eh. it's fine. there's some real "static png being dragged around the screen" moments but it does its job. I do like the variety in character design, i like how many characters just have a weird face that's very recognizable. and there's some fun animation details, especially in the gags they do that add a lot of personality.

[galvanizedsquarepenis]

see this is what I'm talking about. Duplicate's main character beats were having sex with a guy, having sex with another guy, dying a lot, and dying fully so the two guys can have angst about it. Her one moment of interiority was about how dying a lot affects her, but really about how that makes her bond with guy 2 more special so he can be extra sad about her dying. we get a whole personality trait introduced to us by his funeral speech. This is textbook fridging.

It doesn't ruin the show or anything, but it's this weird artifact of writing trends past that mixes weirdly with references to "safe spaces" and the like. I can't quite tell which decade the show's brain is operating at. And to be fair and balanced TM, there are female characters whose interiority is explored among the main cast. The aforementioned gay best friend gets to have his own love life even, which i didn't have any expectation of seeing. There is effort towards inclusivity, clearly. Which is why the dated elements stick out so much.

edit: ok so she was faking her death but the focus is still on guy 2's relief so the point continues to stand
