just watched john carpenter's the thing for the first time with friends and the amount of times i went "ew!!" is funny to me xhjshxj i'm gonna throw up (positive) (that was awesome)

we were talking a lot during the slow parts joking about Menacing Dog and "it's gonna thing all over the place" "they're gonna get thung" "AH! THEY SAID THE THING" but it was so fun

very quick edit but also we kept talking about how we would try to eat the thing they were dissecting on the table in the beginning lmao

great movie. horrible if you're squeamish. great movie

so sonic is probably known of by most people in-universe and is generally considered cool, right

do y'all think shadow is known / cool to the public eye or does he somehow avoid attention and awe like the plague

is shadow known of / cool

He's known of AND cool. Another world-renowned hero

He IS known of, but not cool. Sonic's grumpy sometimes-there maybe-friend

He's not known of, but IS cool. Random guy at the coffee shop with insane aura

He is neither known of nor cool. Who is that cranky old man

sonic movie 3 was pretty good BUT

i'm sorry, i can't help but feel disappointed by how gags seemed to take precedence over the plot more often than not, they removed the crucial detail of shadow being an artificial creature rather than naturally born, his unique link / relation to sonic despite never having met him, and the weight present in the ending of SA2 is just... ignored

after i saw the movie i went on at least an hour long monologue to my friend about how fascinating and tragic shadow's story is in SA2 alone much less when you consider the stuff that comes later, and hearing this she said that the movie felt like it was made by someone with about as much sonic knowledge as her (which isn't very much). i said that it felt like the people who made the movie may have played / looked into SA2 before making it, given very direct references and nods to the original title, but like... they stopped playing halfway through when it got serious / hard, like they got bored with it or something. i then had the same monologue with my mom the moment she woke up (sorry mom) because i couldn't sleep i was thinking about how much the ending felt half-baked and what i might've done with the movie series as a whole if i were the one writing

i understand that the target audience is general folks and especially kids, but as an adult super-fan who's been mega into this series since i was 7, it really sucks to see something you love so much not receive the love and care you would have given it after finally making it to a major hollywood production

i wanted to be able to cry going into this film, and i didn't feel... much of anything. some moments were really cool! but then it cuts to a scene of Human Characters Dicking Around For Way Too Long to the point where the other characters are complaining they're bored and it's like. y'all why

i'm not saying it isn't worth seeing, but if you're looking for a faithful adaptation of SA2, specifically with the weight, somber feeling, and finality of the game's end, you aren't gonna get it. probably better if you go into it expecting more comedy than proper action / satisfying story beats

all that and the second post-credits scene... fun fact, shadow wasn't supposed to come back after SA2. he was supposed to die and stay dead. he only came back in sonic heroes because everyone thought he was So Cool and sega delivered, so something about teasing that shadow is still alive feels... off? him coming back in heroes was a genuine surprise and delight for a lot of people and this also took the ending that's supposed to be sad and removed any sort of finality it may have had

metal sonic is cool though, and amy is very cute. wonder what they're gonna do with that for the next film

feel free to explain why if you'd like. reblog are appreciated

i feel like i'm personally in the "no" club but some things make me question what's going on up there yk

edit: dream description below the cut (warning for... gross. maybe it's body horror?)

i don't remember what i was doing, but i think i was looking in a mirror. i picked a little scab off my face, but when i looked at it, it was like... more stuff than what would come off of a small surface level wound, and there were little green circles in it and little white things that kinda looked like strings. i noticed something under my shirt collar and when i pulled it down there were little sprouts (like the tiny low to the ground plants you'd find growing in the cracks of your driveway), then i started pulling dandelions out of my back over my shoulder. they had long roots and i was initially trying to pull them so just the roots came out, it felt weird and uncomfortable (the best way i could describe it is like... if you partially swallowed a spaghetti noodle but grabbed the end of it and pulled it back out of your mouth, but like. in your back) and kind of made me feel sick, so i tried to hurry up and it started pulling clumps of dirt out with the roots. i think i started coughing and spitting dirt clumps into the sink. i woke up shortly after that and i felt really yucky for a few hours. the mental image is still very vivid rn and it makes me squirm just thinking about it

i don't know what kind of symbolism this would be, but whatever it is, i don't like it

[badlydrawnmanic]

apparently something is happening so, uh

i offer a mole for Mole Interest
