Maybe it’s because I was expecting something new, but fuck man ain’t no one gonna remember this show outside 02 even though she’s a combination of Rei and Asuka’s best traits because most modern weaboos imagine themselves as fucking shinji and think they need an outgoing, sexually aggressive dom gf to improve there lives.
This show had so much potential, and you can see in the first half of the show, but it kept falling into pointless melodrama for its own sake instead of adding anything to the story. The supporting cast is pretty weak too outside of anyone named Ichigo, Mitsuru, and Kokoro as they’re the only three that get any real development (Goro more or less acts the same throughout the show, and is just there to be the voice of reason).
Like fuck man, the most iconic thing about this show is that they gave a mecha a panty shot, and that was just a homage to KLK’s transformation sequences.
You expected something new from Studio Trigger, a studio known for recycling ideas just applying them in different ways? Once again: You have to read a room. This is like expecting Donald Trump to be mature when he gets attacked: Pretty fucking unlikely.
So no one is gonna talk about the romance, the key component of the show?
No one is gonna talk about the themes of individuality and the connections we make, which haven’t been done like this since the LAST Gainax show and best exemplified in Hiro in how he just goes with the flow in the beginning but develops into defying the very society he was born in?
No one is gonna talk about the mecha designs or the klauxosaur designs despite both using digital art to it’s fullest?
No one is gonna talk about Futoshi, one of the most realistic depictions of a broken hearted teenager who eventually gets over his feelings?
No one is gonna talk about Zorome and how he shows that just listening to people without ever thinking will hurt you in the end?
No one is gonna talk about the reunion between Zero two and Hiro in Episode 15, which ACTUALLY is the most iconic thing in the show?
Here’s the thing: ‘wasted potential’ just means ‘didn’t do what I want.’ Stop acting like the show did something wrong like you said and either talk about actual flaws in the show (like the pacing) or just admit this is personal. Stop acting like your personal feelings are somehow a valid compliant.
I thought Hotel Hell was going to make me cringe and laugh more than anything since its Gordan Ramsey but instead it’s given me some tears and I’m so happy for most these people getting a new start???? WHAT IS THIS SHOW???
As a child, and later a teenager, I vehemently disliked daytime television. As an adult, my wife an I only watch Jacksepticeye and PhillyD on YouTube. And binge watch Dr.Phil, and all the Gordon Ramsay shows. Wild….
please please please teach your children to cook while they still live under your roof. even the most elementary things can’t be overlooked. because i just had to show my 24 year old boyfriend how to use a potato peeler and now i need to lay down for an hour
i hate this post because it just proves that like.. no simple statement can just be absorbed and the general population of tumblr go ‘yeah that sounds about right.’ i’ve had nazis say it’s a woman’s job to cook, terfs say that it’s only ‘males’ who don’t know how to cook, people have accused me of being classist because some people don’t own potatio peelers, called a bitch for airing out my boyfriend’s dirty laundry (which if the most embarrassing thing i can procure about the guy is that he’s not great in the kitchen i’d say he’s okay lmao)
just shut up and teach your fucking children to cook holy shit dude
I’m not sure where to begin with this as I normally don’t post anything other than my art here, but I have seen enough from your side to prompt me into making this post, so I suppose we should start with the obvious:
1) Swearing, editing my works, and worse of all, throwing heavy accusations around like there’s no consequences and being proud of it. I might not know who you are but I can tell you’re rude and ignorant based on first impression. You have already lost quite a bit of my default respect that I have for anyone before we even begin.
2) I read that you’re a PoC and most likely belong in the group of minorities from where you’re from. Now that’s something you and I have in common, but our biggest difference is, I don’t throw accusations lightly like you did me.
3) Now let’s talk about art. I have seen people trying to explain to you how color, light, tonal values work, but you seem convinced that as long as it’s not a direct eye-dropped tone, it’s considered whitewashing. There’s a difference between giving a dark-skinned character a lighter shade due to lighting/mood and downright turning them white. And just for clarification, I generally favor pastel-like tones with saturated values at times, which usually resulting in a softer and brighter shade in the things I colored.
Let’s have a look at the official art:
We know that the creator is trying to convey an atmosphere. Marina is being colored close to a beige tone here, but we can tell she is still shades darker than Pearl, and naturally so. Everything here is meant to look soft and light to convey a sense of relax.
Here’s another example of light and mood:
Notice the differences in how the creator colored in these two pieces. One is not more ‘right’ than the other. They’re just being depicted in different mood and settings, often times exaggerated to display a more dramatic effect.
4) I’m not sure if you’re still with me, but I shall continue on. Your heart is at the right place and your cause is noble. Racism is a very bad thing and I should know, but I think you’re picking the wrong battle. You’re accusing people of something that isn’t intended, creating more enemies than allies, making the environment hostile for the wrong reasons. Your lack of understanding and proper knowledge in certain field has, frankly, caused more harm than help towards your goal and, indirectly, hurting the art community.
I don’t bear any ill will towards you and I’m definitely not expecting an immediate change, but all I ask for is that you take a step back and think things through before you decide to throw down the gauntlet again.
Seriously, anytime a woman does anything in mainstream cinema nowadays, she’s “the first.” Yeah, let’s just erase all pre-2010 cinematic history because– that’s progressive?? Let’s ignore the women directors of the past (the first movie directed by a woman came out in 1897, mind you), women writers, women editors, women composers to fulfill some agenda.
You can still celebrate their achievements without pretending like women didn’t start working behind the camera until the 2000s. Can we do that PLEASE?
can someone tell me what really happened to get Trump into office?
Because I’m sick of the “angelic democrats vs. evil redneck ‘publicans and terrible centrists” narrative and I’m starting to wish Clinton won so my family and everyone else could shut up.
It also helps that Hillary didn’t present a positive message for the future, while Trump did. Hillary’s message was always about what was wrong with Trump, while Trump’s message was how great him and his supporters were and how well they would do at making America better. Positivity is important.
Clinton straight up collapsed and had to get bundled into a car and there was video of it that mysteriously got copy right claimed and had spin machines saying “NO NO SHE’S THE PICTURE OF HEALTH” while her campaign kept INSISTING Donald Trump Would Blow His Gasket Any Day Now And Keel Over
She saw Hamilton 3 times, more times than she visited entire rust belt states, opting instead to send in representatives of her like John Podesta and fuckin Lena Dunham. Meanwhile, Trump toured pretty much every last of the 48 continental united states.
She was such a weak candidate that her team thought that Ted Cruz and Mario Rubio were major threats. So they set up Trump to be the candidate for her to beat because they thought he’d be the easiest one to take out.
Ignored warnings as to Trump’s strong position in certain areas.
Ran a campaign that mainly defined itself on being NOT TRUMP WE’RE NOT TRUMP
As the wife of a career politician and former governor and president as well as a former Secretary of State, and Junior US Senator in NY she was about as pure Establishment with a Capital E as you could possibly get
She had a campaign that struggled for multiple years to craft messages and taglines as to why she was running again, laying bear a crisis of message in that countless political types in the DC Beltway have no idea how to convey WHY their politicians are doing something to a vast majority of americans
She has the charisma of damp cardboard and the charm of an std diagnosis. She has that insincere creepy smile on all the time and a measured, robotic, calculating delivery that mutes everything she tries to say and replaces it with an audio track of Alex Jones screaming about shapeshifting lizard people infiltrating humanity
She refused to take the L and hint that she’d never obtain the much lusted after POTUS position when it should’ve been clear she was never gonna win it after losing to an unknown black Illinois Junior Senator that used to pal around with political radicals and ex domestic terrorists with a Muslim middle name a scant 7 years after 9/11 and in a period still defined by intense Islamophobia
The numerous political scandals surrounding her husband as well as her own, including how there was a scandal involving her mishandling a server full of classified intel a scant few months before she ran
Arrogance so thick about her winning being SO CERTAIN that the Clintonites thought that Texas and some other red states could flip blue for the first time ever and poured MILLIONS into advertising there as the blue rust belt states that voted for Obama just plain collapsed in democrat support
how they screwed over the Sanders campaign and completely misread the populist groundswell of support
she picked an absolute NOBODY center right leaning democrat as vp, weakening her already weak position further
as the wife of a former president and a career politician in her own right, she’s a dynasty candidate. a dynasty in a country that started off by rebelling against dynastic rulers in the form of the UK. a dynasty that still remembers the bitter days of George W Bush, a dynasty as the son of a former president that campaigned and won against Al Gore, Bill Clinton’s VP. after the american people rejected a dynasty in the form of long time senators and herself once, she thought she could pull it off somehow and failed.
she’s such a weak candidate that pretty much every single media institution that wasn’t like, fox news or a few fringe conservative joints, almost every goddamn left leaning hollywood celeb, even the non hyperpartisans and about everyone sucking up to her and minimizing how bad she sucked couldn’t help her win.
you can’t even say it’s racism or bigotry or anything because all white areas that turned out for obama either flipped trump or had registered democrats that stayed at home and sat on their hands
bizarre attempts at pandering and failed meme warfare, as well as idiotic stunts like declaring pepes as hate symbols and “Pokemon Go to the polls” as well as when she fuckin naenae’d on Ellen
Clinton getting caught on mic shittalking Bernie Sanders supporters when she should’ve been cultivating them
Clinton was an insider and legacy, while Trump was an unpredictable that postured himself as an outsider and an underdog, both of which americans absolutely LOVE. the fuckin tycoon from nyc was able to position himself as a rebel and instead of attacking his status of him having hobnobbed with celebs, politicians, THE CLINTONS and anything like that they just kept trying to attack him as a person when nothing they threw at him worked.
this isn’t a problem with Clinton specifically but with the Democrats but it’s still an issue that was endemic with the campaign: the Democrats have abandoned the Rust Belt and blue collar areas entirely. They’ve offered token or zero resistance to trade agreements that decimated the poorer classes in rural or central areas of america. they’ve turned on unions. they’ve let the recession grind these areas down even more. and Clinton supported the TPP. meanwhile, Trump stood in front of recycling plants, in the shadow of closed factories and even in states that ate, slept, and shit blue and said that not only would he oppose these trade deals but he’d also rework/tear up trade agreements existing and would work to punish companies that moved jobs from the US.
her and the democrats continuing to blame literally everything except themselves and clinton being a weak candidate and continually re-litigating the election ad infinitum will ensure the democrats won’t win anything unless they REALLY change
The details get complicated, but the strategy of the DMC (as laid out in their own internal emails, which they failed to properly secure) was to push hard for Trump to be the Republican nominee using their influence over the media because they thought he would be easiest to beat. Then they straight up cheated their own system to give the Democratic nomination to Clinton.
At which point the fight was over, right? There was absolutely no chance Trump could beat Clinton, and anyway everybody loves her and it’s her turn to be president so the actual election was already decided. So they stopped fighting. They never bothered to campaign in most states, they never mentioned any kind of plan to improve things, they just insulted Trump a little and started celebrating their victory.
Meanwhile everybody knew that Trump was an evil moron, but everybody also knew that continuing to do the same stupid shit the government has been doing for the past twenty years would just continue the country’s slow downward spiral. Trump represented a change, for better or worse, and a lot of people decided it was worth taking the gamble.
There’s more to it, with the various individual scandals and crimes direct insults to their own voters and other shit that came to light, and each of those was a contributing factor, but the fundamental failure was on the strategic level. Trump presented himself as the person who would change things, Clinton presented herself as the person who had already won.
