lost it @marvin-petricor - Tumblr Blog

Slightly drunk rant incoming.

I should just stop interacting with fandoms at this point. On the one hand you have crazy horny fangirls who miss the entire plot of the show and rip the story apart to get "inspiration" for their smutty "headcanons".

On the other hand you have crazy horny incels who can't see a good adaptation when it's given to them on a silver plater and who feel entitled to offend the actors' appearance despite 90% of these "movie critiques" being mediocre talentless ugly nobodies.

I'm just so upset that people are weird and stupid to this extent.

It's not just about tlou. I've seen my share of fandoms. Every single time two polar opposites are formed, both of which are equally annoying. And there seems to be less and less of a healthy middle.

YOU are consuming media. I’m letting it consume me

I watched a whole ass season of Narcos without realizing that the sad dude from the meme is Pablo fucking Escobar, which honestly makes it even funnier

#narcos #pedro pascal #wagner moura

I only visit tumblr from time to time, so it's easy to forget why I never stay for too long.

The Pedro Pascal tag is just self insert smut at this point. For God's sake, I thought we grew out of this shit.

I get it, he's attractive. So is Jenna Ortega. Now imagine a bunch of horny teenage boys writing self insert smut about her.

This goes way beyond acknowledging someone's beauty. This isn't art, this isn't creativity. This is sexual harassment.

the look of pure rage on joel’s face when henry prevents him from going to help ellie as she is being attacked… pedro pascal you fucking asshole. the look on henry’s face as he realizes what he has done… the way he says “sam”… lamar johnson you fucking king. the little scream ellie does when henry shoots himself… bella ramsay you fucking angel. THAT scene was brutal.

#tlou spoilers #the last of us spoilers #pedro pascal #bella ramsey #lamar johnson

On a side note: I will fight anyone who still says Bella Ramsey is bad casting for Ellie. Their eyes might not be the same color as the game character model, but her acting is through the roof in every single scene.

I feel like ranting about TLOU for a bit.

SPOILERS FOR 2ND SEASON AND 2ND GAME.

My problems with the 2nd game are:

1) they kill Joel in the very beginning and then retroactively try to humanize his killer. And it just doesn't work for me.

If the showrunners are so persistent on keeping the game's storyline, I hope they at least change the order if things: show Joel, Ellie and other characters (see point 2) in the present time instead of flashbacks, while constantly switching to Abby and her dad's perspective. Make Abby's dad's death the culmination, not a distant point in time that's supposed to explain everything.

2) lots of new characters who I can't sympathize with. Again, don't make it retroactive - make it linear. I can only sympathize with the relationship if you show it to me gradually, show how it came to be. Hell, that's one of the main reasons why Joel and Ellie are so important to the audience: we were with them on that journey from the beginning.

So far the showrunners seem to understand this and they've done a perfect job with all the side characters in season 1. I hope they'll stick to this approach.

3) the general message "look where revenge and love can take you"

I might be missing the point, but to me the main idea of the 1st game was perfectly expressed by Kathleen in the end of ep5: "you think the whole world revolves around him? That he's worth everything?". Yes, I do. So does Joel with Ellie and Sarah, so did Henry with Sam, Kathleen with her brother. So did Abby with her dad. They all have the same irrational reason.

The only difference is that the protagonists are Joel and Ellie. Just like Joel will pick Ellie over the whole world, the audience will pick this duo over anyone else in the story. No matter how much you humanize other characters, no matter how often you show that Joel is not a good guy. We might care deeply for all this other characters, we might be heartbroken by their death, but we still wouldn't trade their lives for the lives of Joel and Ellie.

This is perfectly shown in ep 4 and 5. The guy who got shot by Ellie didn't deserve to die. Kalthleen's brother wasn't more worthy that Henry's brother. Joel wasn't more worthy than Henry.

But I doubt you'd be able to find sympathy in your heart if Joel was killed there and then. And most importantly I doubt you'd be still watching the show

is it just me or has anyone else noticed the whole revenge theme that they’re already setting up????

SPOILERS

I swear to god, if they rob me of Joel and then try to make me sympathize with his killer for the second time, cause "revenge bad"...

I do hope they'll be able to listen to the constructive criticism of the 2nd game's story and not dismiss it as part of the "what's this woke shit" backlash.

I want to watch more stuff with Pedro Pascal, but I can't choose between Narcos and Mandalorian.

In Narcos I get to see his face. But it seems like he has more screentime in Mandalorian. But there I can't see his face. I quite enjoy seeing his face in The Last of Us.

Obviously I'll end up watching both, but which one should I start with?

When Joel discovers that Ellie stole a gun

#tlou hbo #the last of us #the last of us hbo #Joel #ellie #pedro pascal #bella ramsey

I'm about to turn 24. I've got my masters degree and my first ever job 6 month ago. I adore my profession.

The past 6 years of my life were mostly spent on studying. Only now I begin to understand what it's like to have free time and resource, to be able to have hobbies. I want to achieve recognition amongst my peers both as a professional and as a creator.

And what does my mother say to me a few hours before my birthday? "I hope there are some unmarried guys at your work place. I want a granddaughter. Actually, scratch that, I don't care much about your guys, I just want a granddaughter".

Fuck you, mom. If you want another child, make one yourself. I'm not a fucking incubator, I'm a person.

Know what? Fuck the Netflix abomination but it introduced me to Joey Batey and his angelic vocals.

marvin-petricor

It could've been such a good adaptation with the cast and the source material they had. What a shame.

But hey, thank God we discovered Joey and TAD. I adore his acting and I've never heard anyone sing like him and Madeleine.

I worry that with Henry gone Lauren will turn Jaskier into a fan attraction without giving his character a proper story. But let's hope Joey's brilliant acting can fix any bad writting.
