At least Criston reasoning for his awfulness is interesting with his warped sense of honor and guilt. Daemon is just an awful person cuz he thinks he's better than everybody else and is mad his brother never trusted him. 2/2
Criston is a bad person, who done bad shit, but I really don't get why he has become the most hated character in the show...cuz like, what if I say that everything people hate Criston for, daemon has done 10 times worse. 1/2
I really hope this becomes like knives out where every few years we get a new DND movie that has it's own self contained plot with new characters/actors each time. Or have the same actors but playing different roles/characters, as if they just started a new campaign.
The only scene that could be considered a white savior trope is when they stop the human sacrifice, but the film shows that the people and the chief are also shocked by the human sacrifice. And it is shown that the chief knows that they aren't gods, and probably always knew.
I feel like El Dorado doesnt fit the trope, as the white characters arent shown as morally or mentally superior to the indigenous people, nor is the people or their culture seen as something to be fixed, and they save the indigenous people from a problem that they caused. (1/2)
I don’t like calling this the white savior trope solely for the fact that it’s executed well in a genuine sense.
where you got those vibes from Pocahontas and the Road to El Dorado.
Shoutout to "SpongeBob vs. the Patty Gadget" for being the one 'man vs. machine' plot where the 'man' completely outperformed the machine fair and square.
Because SpongeBob is THAT much of a legend!!!
@vanillaopinions Did some basic research and math, 117 officers died in 2022, out of an estimate of 800,000 officers in 2022. 0.01% of officers died that year and 14.6 per 100,000 officers died
Kit and Emilia are seemingly friends in real life, but their fans will kill the other ones fans in a heartbeat. I'm not even saying the hate isn't justified, just think it's funny.
I need Twitter to fucking stop sending me tweets about the live action tangled casting news, I do not give a shit, the movie will be ass no matter who they cast.
Tldr, rheanyra s1 arc is how she wish to not be remembered as mother of kings, to not die like Aemma, being cut open by men, but as a queen herself, but she does get cut. To say she won by being the mother of kings is kinda disrespectful to her and takes away the tragedy of her
Seriously, no hate, and I'm just speaking on show canon, it's very weird how a major part of rheanyra s1 was about not wanting to be stuck in a birthing bed like her mother, and yet y'all keep bringing up that since she gave birth to future kings, she won the war. (1/4)
To frame rheanyra death like that of ned, where the figure head of the house dies but their children and bloodline survive and live in thereby winning in the end, takes away immensely from the themes and tragedy of the dance, and of rheanyra herself. (3/4)
I fear this show might be my breaking point on asoiaf Twitter, when everyone complains the SIBLINGS aren't a wholesome poly relationship when one of them literally helped kill the other ones son and the books says that rhaenys and aegon liked each other more than visenya
HBO’s ‘AEGON’S CONQUEST’ prequel series writer Mattson Tomlin shares an update that he is currently reading GRRM’s ‘FIRE AND BLOOD.’ Looks like script writing in underway.

It cannot be understated how much of the online right is built off of the fact that these people are mad that they aren't kids anymore. They become evil fascists because they cannot accept that time is a concept that exists.
Like, yeah, fuck the US, fuck the politicians and businessmen who saw their fellow Americans as only tools to use, focus ur anger not on the humans that were turned into tools, but hate the people that turned them into tools. you do not blame the saw for cutting down the forest
Idk man, I get the "fuck the us" thing you going for, but majority of those people are poor folks who didn't have a choice and didn't even know what the war was about, 25% of the dead are black folk despite making 10% of the US population of the time.
