I just watched a trailer for Snow White because there was an article about it that passed up.

I once again find myself wondering what the point of a live action movie is, when 50% or more of the film is CGI.

It might as well be animated by that point.

My family and I discussed this when the "live action" Lion King first came out. (A movie I refuse to watch for the principal of the thing.) We came to the conclusion that if a movie is mostly or all CGI it should be called something more along the lines of Hyper-realistic or something similar, rather than live action. Because if the film's 90% CGI, that's no longer really live action at that point.

Sirius moved out as soon as he could when he ran from home to live with the Potters. Not only because he craved independence. But because it was painful to witness openly affectionate and caring parents. And he wasn't bitter, he was happy James had a loving family but he wished he could have had that too.

He was grateful James followed him though. Made Sirius a part of his family.

MHA Midnight Musing 🌘🤔 on...

Tomura Shigaraki's quirk theories!

Alrighty, so... I am late to the online side of this fandom, but I'm going to toss my two cents in anyway. Been hearing the whole "red shoe" theory, claiming that Tomura was born quirkless and AFO gave Tomura Decay and... I Hate It.

(GIF doesn't have words, but if you're a MHA scene, you know what he's saying.)

I completely understand *why* that theory is out there, and it can make a very good fanfic! But... I truly and deeply despise the idea. Why? Because it:

Erases the tragedy of Tomura's whole situation and

Removes the parallels between Eri and Tomura.

It's a common human desire to want to blame someone for the bad things that happen. "The devil made me do it." "It's Trump's fault." "Let's go Brandon." ect. But blaming AFO completely misses out on the point of Tomura's character! Not going to dig deeper than that, because I assume you guys are smart enough to already know what I'm talking about. Also I'm not in college any more and I could write an essay on it, but I'm not going to inflict that on you.

(I could also write and essay on the COLOR SYMBOLISM, especially with those dang red shoes, but I'm not gonna. I want to, but I'm not going to.)

Midnight Musings - 3

There are many odd thoughts that strike at 3:06 in the morning - distantly related but more than anything vaguely connected by the same general emotional thread. Tonights?

It is a true shame that it is not socially permissible to wear metal vambraces as a daily accessory.

As a man, I can say that I am broadly unimpressed with the wider spectrum of male jewelry - most jewelry is very effeminate, or whispy and pretty - I want something to indulge that inner dwarf that lives inside my soul, that craves glorious combat and the strength and cold comforting certainty of steel.

Consider- if metal vambraces were somehow normalized, there are so many options! so many styles! it wouldn't even need to be a male thing, but it would be a kind of jewelry / accessory that fits my aesthetic so much better than 90% of what I can find currently. :D And the salutes! Banging vambraces with a close friend, or clashing them together in an X as a little challenge or "fuck you" or as a salute if you are a Bridge 4 fan or a Wakanda fan - the options are endless!

How many people do you think it would take wearing metal vambraces or metal- decorated leather vambraces before this kind of a trend took hold? Crazier and more ridiculous things and hairstyles have become widespread... (looking sideways at the 70s and 80s hair and the weirdly multicolored and striped clothing from the 90s)

On a practical note, as a martial artist I have never felt closer to being a god than when I had the chance to wear full armor that articulated well and I sparred someone with steel blades- oh the satisfaction of catching steel blades on vambraces and deflecting them as sparks fly - dancing around people the entire time and landing shots in from angles they weren't expecting..... Intoxicating...

Just sayin - the possibilities truly are endless if this were to somehow become a thing.

Tangled

Shouldn’t Rapunzel’s hair be completely shaved off for it to lose its power?

It’s shown when the hair is cut from the root, it loses its healing power, so when Eugene cuts her hair with the broken shard, shouldn’t only the part that’s cut off lose its power and not the hair itself?

Can someone answer this? I always wondered this!
