the most unrealistic thing about scream 6 is the fact that kirby reed doesn't have an inner-finger mustache tattoo

cus i know she would've gone crazy for that in 2014

[sunkissedangelic]

at the griffith park observatory in LA looking at all the planet's wondering where tf pandora is

[sunkissedangelic]

most people listen to island music when they go to hawai'i

trust me when i say that i will be listening to the avatar soundtrack on loop

[sunkissedangelic]

music motifs in avatar i will always love you

i have teared up in my car omw to school listening to "becoming one of the people"

god the avatar films have such a beautiful score

[sunkissedangelic]

i'm really truly hoping that we get a lot of neytiri and spider dynamic content in avatar 4

but like, in subtle ways. very show not tell

how maybe she purposely moves him behind herself to protect him

or being the first to his aid when he needs it.

guys that's his mama i need spider and neytiri crumbs neow

[sunkissedangelic]

hi guys i'm back on my avatar shit

anyway

idc what anyone says spider absolutely needed to gain a kuru and be accepted by the ancestors

"no no no!" they say "spider's a human and hasn't done anything to earn acceptance from ronal, tsu'tey, or any of the na'vi ancestors!"

to which i say no

spider is important to the growth of the na'vi characters and our perception as an audience in the exact same way that the mangkwan are. here me out.

avatar '09 and avatar twow both follow this good guy vs bad guy story telling tactic.

from 2009 to 2022 we knew the navi were good and the humans (with the exception of norm and other navi-loyal scientists) are bad. spider does challenge that narrative in twow by being the son of like the worst person ever quaritch. however it isn't enough to fully change our perspective.

the mangkwan change that. they become the yang to spiders yin. spider is an active representation that humans can be good despite their origins, and the mangkwan show that the na'vi aren't all inherently good and peaceful. neither party is fully good or fully bad. they both serve to add complexity to the avatar world and break out of the us vs them framework.

you might also argue that avatar became too spider centric and we're losing out on jake's plot.

i'm going to bring in another jack champion film franchise to help me make my point. this being scream.

scream 7 failed partly because sidney's story just won't end. sometimes it's just time to pass the torch. screams 5 and 6 (jack champions scream if you're interested) worked because the torch was temporarily passed to melissa barrera's character sam carpenter. but because the producers are stupid and fired her sidney came back. but franchises fail when they lose sight of what made them good and honestly sidney's arc is done.

how does this relate to avatar? great question.

the first 2 films of the avatar franchise are jake sully centric. granted, there is also a decade+ gap between the first and second installments. it makes sense that by the third movie some of the focus would be shifted. namely onto lo'ak and the other kids.

lo'ak and spider are mirrors of their fathers, albeit indirectly. lest we forget that jake and quaritch had a relatively positive relationship up until jake betrayed his cause in favor of the na'vi people.

lo'ak is a mirror of his father; reckless, adventurous, and defiant. spider is an example of everything quaritch could've been. and the pasts of their fathers were bound to impact them eventually. the story is simply evolving with the cast as it gets larger. the next film could be neytiri and kiri centric idk.

i'm losing my point here but i love spider socorro and you will never convince me otherwise

[sunkissedangelic]

the day jack champion is cast as wes bennett is the day i personally rescind my DN of better than the movies

[sunkissedangelic]

and now a list of places/things in my home state that would make great scream first kill locations

1. edc

2. area 15 omegamart

3. the roller coaster on top of the stratosphere

4. circus circus

5. clown motel

6. lake tahoe sand harbor parking lot after 9 am (he needs parking)

9. any off strip motel

10. trader joes at summerlin mall

"ethan landry being ghostface was so obvious!" well, yes! sometimes that happens in murder mysteries!

let's not pretend that there hasn't been an obvious killer in other scream movies.

for example, scream 1.

billy loomis seems obvious enough. like he's fucking weird guys.

an obvious killer makes the unexpected one more satisfying.

you suspect billy and are thrown off when stu is revealed to be the second killer. you're shocked initially but as you think back to early scenes it makes total sense.

scream 4 doesn't exactly do this upon first watch but when you watch it again you can totally see jill as the killer. when she asks sid what it's like to have so many people stare at you. how when she's supposed to look scared she looks calculative. how she's the only one who doesn't check her phone when everyone in class gets the notif that jenny and marnie were killed. you can suspect her. not so much charlie.

scream 6 you absolutely suspect ethan. that throws you off from quinn and wayne, especially quinn cus we watched her die.

idk guys stop hating on my close personal friend ethan landry

[sunkissedangelic]

shane hollander would be the kind of dad to have all his kids' school projects and crafts organized in storage bins by grade level. he never throws any of it away

[sunkissedangelic]

currently stuck at the "i-have-nothing-to-say" function so naturally how do i make this about heated rivalry

i am a shane hollander hates family functions truther

especially ones where babies are involved. like he can deal with babies but he's just awkward around them

and the function is always too loud and too crowded and there's too many smells from food to relatives that smell weird

and he wants to retreat into a quieter spot and not speak to anyone but he doesn't want to seem rude and standoffish

so he sits uncomfortably in the noise but doesn't speak to anybody and stares at the wall
