I know I haven't tweeted in like 7 months, but I've got a very timely and relevant comment to share with everyone: Halloween Ends playing Don't Fear the Reaper at the end is the funniest needle drop I've ever seen and I can't for the life of me figure out how intentional that is.
@JonathanLack Honestly, if you're trying to make a stupid, pedantic argument that EoE isn't a "movie", I'd sooner go to it being stylistically presented as two double length episodes of the TV show (complete with titles) before some confusing paratext argument that has no clear limits.
@JonathanLack Trying to "extend" this image is blasphemy akin to treading into the realm of the divine. This image depicts the World, She who Cradles it and the Children who serve Her. There is nothing that "exists" beyond the edges of this frame, for "existence" can have no meaning there.
@NeonGenesis_23@JonathanLack If we ever do an insert song list, Brave Heart is definitely in consideration for #1 though (along with Slash from Tamers).
@NeonGenesis_23@JonathanLack Butterfly was on my list for consideration, but unfortunately the animation part wasn't quite interesting enough to break into the top 10. The song on its own is an easy A+++ though.
@JonathanLack I haven't gotten there yet, but I'm pretty excited to! Following black robed travellers in a side mission sounds like a nice change of pace from all the following of black robed travellers I've been doing in the main story.
@JonathanLack I was pretty skeptical at the idea of turning the second opening theme for Gundam ZZ into a 2 hour movie, but I thought it turned out pretty well. I would've appreciated a Haman Karn cameo though.
His legacy is too big and too much to truly reconcile, but everyday when I collect student work I notice the same kinds of doodles of ki auras and super saiyan hair that I drew back then. If that's not the definition of legacy I don't know what is.
The loss of Toriyama is kind of impossible for me to process. As long as I can remember, I don't think there's a single work of fiction more central to my life than Dragon Ball.
As an adult, Dragon Ball was the first thing I read in Japanese. Probably it's why I learned in the first place. And everday, I connect with students through his work. I had a student who skipped every class but mine because we could chat about Dragon Ball Legendz.
@JonathanLack Just Evolution it. Californian highschooler Naruto (Tom Holland) learns he harbors a secret power when he, the mysterious Sasuke (Timothee Chalamet) and cheerleader Sakura (Sydney Sweeney) are recruited by Kakashi (Tony Leung) to battle the Evil Ninja Orochimaru (Mads Mikkelsen).
@JonathanLack I am pleased to see truth and justice prevail. Now, we can put this strife behind us. I am eager now to reach across the aisle and bring all of us, those that like the MJ missions in Spider-Man 2 and those who are wrong, together into a brighter, happier future.
