My comments on The Legend of Aang (Spoiler Alert )

1. I found out what was the thing that was really throwing off the animation. The movie is way more anime(ish) than the shows.

Especially in the fight scenes. Where is just power for the sake of power, even if it doesn't make sense. Seriously, look:

How can Toph see what he did? He was literally on the air when he made his attack

2. And now I'm also more than aware why Aang glazers were copying hard on Twitter lmao.

Not that Aang is that strong of Avatar, he's not a fighter after all (that's not his archetype). But c'mom. Are you telling me that he didn't think of using his Airbending to break the fail after jumping to save that dude right in the very beginning of the movie? Really? And him passing out after saving a building, in Avatar State btw, like bro?

Tagah was stronger than Aang even WITHOUT the staff. Bro hold a mountain. Aang passed out holding a slim tower.

3. The voice acting felt off a bit. Especially Aang's, no emotion in lots of his delivery. Somehow, it looks both as if he was just reading a journal and trying too hard to show emotion

I know some ppl are gonna be mad but this is a prime example of why focusing only on actors ethnicity over talent isn't a good idea, especially in VA for obvious reasons. And the guy that voiced Aang is not even an actor at all btw

4. Anyway enough of trashing the movie.

I loved how they explicitly made Katara an active member of Republic City social and political stuff. And I loved even more they explored Aang's traumas. His desire to do wherever it takes to bring his ppl back was genuine, and it's sad that he didn't get to see the New Airbenders in tlok. But I honestly hope there's a "heaven" or something like that to allow him to witness that, and btw this is an answer I would love to know: Where did the Avatar spirits go after the cycle was gone? They just vanish cuz that would be so sad for a universe so rich when it comes to spirits.

Anyway, back to the movie

5. I love how they brought back shit from tlok, not just as an Avatar fan but also as a writer. Korra and Aang having essentially the same spirit, makes sense they would also do some of the same mistakes.

Aang trusting in a guy he met like a day ago and that promised him they could bring back the air nation, and even ignoring the advice of his friends is NO DIFFERENT than Korra trusting her uncle aka the only one who knew how to deal with the spirits, and ignoring the advice of her mentor and father (one which she just found out had lied to her her whole life)

And the denied being basically the equalists of that time fits right with Toph's line in tlok b4: "The names change but the streets stays the same". There are problems that are bound to repeat themselves. That's life and life is a circle

And Tagah himself is kind of a mix between Kuvira and Zaheer. He sure has the us vs them mentality from Kuvira and the recklessness of Zaheer. Oh, and Unavaatu of course, with the whole spirit + bending power

Oh, and they finally explained why there's still sky bison in tlok, something that wasn't so clear in tlok. Since the fire nation saved just a few of them. It tied all together man.

6. I think it's very clear now that Katara is the G.O.A.T of the Gaang.

I also loved how they humanized the team Avatar too. A lot of ppl had an emotional memory that the Gaang was invincible and now we see that they aren't. In fact they kind of died, and half dead Katara brought them back. That's why she is the goat dude

7. Why they treat Suki so bad tho? Not even an mention on why she isn't here. Is like she doesn't exist anymore.

Watching the Gaang vs Tagah made me so pissed at tlok writers. Sokka is a non bender and he's always fighting together with the team, why didn't they do that with Asami? Especially bc she is more skilled than Sokka when It comes to hand to hand combat

8. Overall is a good movie. A solid 8/10

I really disliked that megalomaniac level of the final fight. This and the too anime(ish) fight scenes were my biggest problem with this movie cuz the writing was most fire.

We got lore expansion, a good one. The characters personalities were faithful to what we saw in the show, and we explored Aang's trauma in a way that wasn't possible in the show. That's legit what I wanted to see in an Adult Gaang movie. This is what I wanted to see in this decade of waiting.

9. I have to apologize to Bryke. Not only for the quality of the movie but also for the tlok appreciation in it. I don't know if it was intentional but it was good. Really good. Like I said in the 5. Topic

My Comments on Obsession

It's scary and disturbing precisely bc of how real it is. Yes I'm talking about the violence against women and how men can ruin a woman's life just bc he feels like it. And it's also scary bc of Inde amazing performance.

1. If anyone was still wondering, Bear is a piece of shit. And don't come with that bullshit about him not knowing the wish was gonna work bc things could have been different if he wasn't such an egoistic piece of shit.

He spent weeks taking advantage of Nikki and only tried to solve things when it became inconvenient for him. He knew from day 1 shit was off and kept going bc of his selfish desire to possess Nikki. Or rather, the idea he had of her bc he for sure didn't loved her.

She asked him to kill her bc she couldn't take it anymore. And he had the audacity to play the victim. I'm so pissed he goes off so easily, he should have suffered at least 10% of what he made Nikki suffer

Oh, and he is the sole responsible for Sarah's and Ian's death too

2. I've seen a lot of ppl trying to put the blame on Ian and sure he was an awful friend and had his share of accountability on everything that happened but Bear is the one to blame

3. Poor Nikki. I think she is one of the most tragic characters I've seen in a while. Her life was RUINED bc of that piece of shit.

It's so sad, infuriating even, the moments where the real Nikki shows up bc you can feel her shock and pain of not being able to control herself, of being used and violated (both sexually and psychologically) by a guy she considers her friend.

Like the times she comes back, her first instinct is to get away from Bear. Both when they first kiss and in the party. And during the rape scene... The eyes Chico, they never lie.

It reminded me of the whole Killgrave situation in Jessica Jones, when ppl were trapped in their body, knowing what they are doing but having no control of it

4. Inde gave us an Oscar Worthy performance. Seriously, y'all have no idea how hard it is to pull off such character. She makes us like Nikki from her 10min before she was taken, she played two different characters and made us see when it was Nikki's eyes saying the spell words, acting as the spell made her act. And her uncanny valley walks? Damn

5. The man laughing at the theaters tells us everything we need to know about men. Like, this isn't a comedy, maybe a dark comedic timing here and there but dudes were laughing like they were watching White Chicks or smt. They don't take it seriously, having their body autonomy taken from them it's not a reality they fear. The scenes with the possessed Nikki are meant to be disturbing, not funny.

Comments on House of the Dragon S02E08

-DAENERYS TARGARYEN she is the prince that was promised!!!!! OMG. Watch them using one of the upcoming animated shows to remake that awful Game of Thrones finale.

Haelena and Daemon seeing each other was cool af, but she shouldn't have been given spoilers like c'mon.

- Well, know that Aemond was aggressive towards Haelena, their shippers can't say a word about Daemyra 🤷 (ps: I'm not Daemyra)

Also, Aemond burning and killing innocents just cuz his ego was crushed , and some of the team green said the Black's are the evil ones.. btw, he is a sexist asshole. Hate him. A good villain tho

- I'm really curious to know what they would do with Hugh. He will still betray the Black's? If he does, how this will happen? Cuz so far he is being such a great guy honestly.

Now, Ulf is actually the worst. He is def gonna betray the Black's but it would be a nice twist if that asshole actually turned out to be loyal and died battling against Vermithor and Hugh.

-The Gullet will happen right in the first or second episode of s3. I dislike those people cuz they will...u know...anyways, but that lady? Damn she is something else and she is a LESBIAN. I can't be against her I'm sorry

And Tyland is probably the honorable and nice Lannister ever.

-Gotta love/hate how Alicent. When she is winning, she is all a bit cocky but when she is losing , she comes to with her 🥺 eyes. Rhaenyra owes her nothing. I only feel bad for Haelena

She was actually willing to sacrifice Aegon , a son for a son. When Rhaenyra takes KL, after losing Jace, and don't find Aegon, she will think Alicent lied.

I know there's a lot of haters for Rhaenyra x Alicent, but there scenes are gold. And not Alicent asking Rhaenyra to runaway with her 😭

-Its so satisfying to learn that Aegon doesn't have pepe anymore. I bet the maids are partying rn. Larys was a real one tho, he saved Aegon's life by taking him out of KL

-Alyn gagged Corlys so bad. Damn

-I bet sir Alfred shit his pants when he saw that Daemon isn't a traitor or a usurper. If he is so eager to go to battle, why don't he go to KL and challenge Aemond for a duel.

-Not Crispin Cole trying to pep talk about honor. Bruh if you are so afraid and depressed after seeing the dragons dance, just to to Essos sell your oranges

-This season is a slow burn, people complained about it but honestly? For things to have the impact they should have, it is necessary to have a built up to it and that's what they did.

A lot of people talk shit about s1 being too rushed, and now are talking shit that this one is too slow. I've read people complaining that this season was just "old men talking around the table" 😭 and I immediately thought "did yall see Game of Thrones?"

S3 is gonna be wild. With Gullet and Rhaenyra taking KL probably in the first half episodes. The Winter Wolfs coming(maybe the Lads too), Tumbleton happening.

My comments on Smile 2

- One of the few times the sequel is better than the first one.

-I was already spoiled by both Joel and Skye's death so let's talk about them

Poor Joel man, he got rid of the entity just to be run over by a car 😭. It was an upsetting death but since this movie has a new character as protagonist, it was somewhat necessary. Even tho I think he could have survived idk

Poor Skye man. Also, even tho I dislike having two upsetting deaths, I appreciate the movie balls to do it.

But for the third movie, we need a survivor. Two movies, two protagonists deaths. Idk, they have to change or else why I'm gonna root for a character that's already doomed? And good luck to find a character charismatic and that deserved to live. Skye was better than the first protagonist and it's not gonna be easy to find someone better to root for.

-Can we talk about Naomi Scott, cuz she is phenomenal. It sucks that the academy and other awards don't like horror movies, especially cuz this year we had such amazing performances and Naomi truly delivers one of the top 3 of the year in horror and one of the best overall.

She is drop dead gorgeous, can sing, can dance and can act. Truly one of the most talented and overlooked from her generation.

And look at her acting career, she was a Disney Kid, a Power Ranger, a Disney Princess, a Charlie's Angels and now it is a Horror Diva. She is collecting iconic roles like if it was the infinity stones. The only ones missing are the gay role, adventure action hero and the video game adaptation.

And nothing against Sophie Turner but Naomi is a far better choice to be Lara croft, like fr

-The charity scene, I felt it on every inch of my soul. The way she just snaps and speaks the truth that is in her heart...as a traumatized person myself, that's something I always wanted to do every time I'm pushed to do something that I'm not in the best mood or something that triggers me.

The thing we wanna talk, lash out but we don't because we don't wanna hurt people and/or looked crazy.

Honestly, I almost cry sometimes cuz I really saw myself in Skye. Like, how she sees herself as the monster in other people's lives, how she sees herself as a mess that doesn't deserve anything and that everyone would be better without her

Don't worry, I'm okay. I'm medicated and with therapy in check, just if someone worries

-I kinda always wonder what it would be like if those horror movie evil entities catch a character that happens to be famous. And I'm not disappointed , what a nightmare

-The entity said it liked using Skye and all so this means the whole movie was Skye fever dreaming nightmares, locked inside her head while the entity was using her to live it's best life? Cuz that just mean.

Okay, I don't think everything was an illusion but for sure 90%

My Comments on The First Omen

-No shade to Immaculate, which is a good film, but it's like one of those horror movies made for the main audiences while The First Omen is made for horror fans.

The tone, the vibe, sometimes it felt like I was watching a 70's horror movie.

-Nell Tiger Free girl you are on the way to become one of my fav young actresses. I already knew you could serve, cuz I watched Servant but goddamn, here you are just spectacular. She acts with her whole being, her eyes, her body, her voice... everything. I have this inside joke with myself when I say that you know an actor is good when you are able to see their pupils dilate in some scene of emotional stress(fear, love, stress, trauma..) and here she does that a lot.

I look forward to seeing her become a scream queen and a horror icon.

As a theater kid, I was 😦 at the possession scene. The control you need to have of your body to be able to do something like that without looking cartoonish fake, what a damn good work.

-Is also looking forward to seeing Arkasha Stevenson, she just came out of nowhere and gave one of the greatest prequels ever.

And let me tell you, a man could never make this masterpiece of work. I bet that if it was a man directing, we would see some unnecessary nudity and more explicit violence. I'm saying this cuz not all men have the right touch to tell a story like this, which is basically a story of women's body being exploited and violated for a higher entity.

-Poor Margaret tho. Not only is her father a literal demon, the entire purpose of her life was being a human incubator for the antichrist. Her life was all a lie. Her friends and the people she thought were her safe spots, it was all a lie.

The scene where she is giving birth , is so haunting. No tense music, just a helpless young woman crying for help in a room full of people and they just stared at her and does nothing, that's what nightmares are made of.

-Another thing that I noticed is that no one respects her boundaries, her personal space. Always touching her, always bossing her around.

Her being a "bad" girl can be because she is half demon but also can be a response to all the trauma. Like, that girl had nightmares or wherever and their way to deal with it was tying her up in the bed and maybe even going to physical violence.

That's also how bdsm was born I swear.

-This movie was honestly so good. If you were afraid that it would be just a cash grad, don't worry. But also don't go watching expecting some common horror movie, there's some fucked up shit here (who already saw it, knows what I'm talking about). Go open minded and enjoy the ride
