Titled

I missed my chance to reblog this in 2019, so I googled the next day Halloween would be a Thursday and Godbless if I’m still active on Tumblr in 2024

I scheduled this to post one year ago at exactly 10:55pm

Can you back off? This happened a decade ago why cant you accept their mistakes and move on :/

We Still Need To Hold Them Accountable .

I think the fundamental problem with all these low-effort horror movie adaptations of recently-public-domain cartoon characters is that they always make the titular character the monster. Like, nobody gives a shit about a film where Mickey Mouse is a zombie; they want to see Mickey Mouse fight the zombies!

The fact that Popeye vs Chutulu hasn’t been a thing with the public domain horror stuff feels like leaving money on the table

Trailer for a sci-fi horror movie set in a derelict underwater research facility where the bassline's thumping orchestral bombast is almost but not quite successful at distracting from the fact that the film's title track appears to be a minor key arrangement of the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine".

You can also go back to the Epic of Gilgamesh in which Utnapishtim describes the gods, having wiped out all life with a flood, crowding around his fire and they had no followers left. So I suppose the idea could have started then. Several thousand years ago.

You need to be careful there. While the idea of gods being weakened by humanity's failure to perform the appropriate observances is of course an ancient one, uncritically equating this with the idea of a god's strength being directly proportionate to the strength of its worshippers' belief will lead you to peculiar conclusions. These are two different notions. That's why my previous comments explicitly draw a line between "gods deriving physical sustenance from sacrifices made in their names" and "gods being directly powered by faith alone"; the latter is a very modern idea, and claimed examples of it in the ancient world are almost always modern misinterpretations.

Literally the only thing that would be necessary to update those 1990s animes about a couple of dumbfuck women going around causing problems on purpose for the modern era is not giving them token boyfriends to counter the yuri allegations. It's the only genre where the sole needed improvement is a subtraction.

"Okay, but sometimes the token male love interest's presence is material to the plot" I have a suggestion.

This is very wise and very well put.

IT’S BACK

This is one of those posts that you need to save and tag or you’ll never see it again for 84 years.

Portals to hell? I haven’t heard that name in years

people really think "i HATE this [genre/medium], so that should tell you how good this is when i say i liked it" is a good place to start their review from. like why would i listen to you. you hate the genre/medium. the one you like is probably not very good as an example of the genre or medium.
