the voice-work for himeko is actually really great especially on the screams of horror and pain

also DID i hallucinate that episode of himeko’s pov on chikane and her’s meeting??? was it really just that one bit ???

ok let’s be real, the way himeko recognises Chikane’s whole being and experience is incredible

but also, this kind of lacks emotional punch for me?

did souma just....summon his mecha, which for some reason wasn’t absorbed into the full orochi? and then, took over from the god? like. he literally was like, i’ll take over saving teh world you two have a good time i’ll defeat orochi with my bro

WHAT??? hahhaa

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO TSUBASA AND SOUMA???

ok well those versions of them got wiped from existence i guess

also interestingly different gods appear during different cycles, are the other gods aware of that...?

i really like how the trend of the gods being people who IMAGINE, who play on imaginations - persists.

clearly innanna was supposed to be a reflection of Mary Shelley in a way?

ok.

well uh. ok yknow, lucifer going completely mad is possibly maybe a good reason for killing all the gods. but uh. is that just something that happens? like. why do they go mad? why would they even go mad? The darkness didn’t even show up in this one. what is it about divinity that makes em go mad then

capaldi’s doctor is so.........arrogant. so...cold. Bill being upset about a person dying, that’s normal. He doesn’t appreciate her for her humanity, her empathy and fresh view on what is normal for him, he tells her to stop it.

that’s....i hate that

and i think it’s stupid they had him gain 1100 years in a damn montage

like seriously? he went through the same amount of years in one regeneration that he had in 10 ? come on

and he doesn’t even tell the boy’s closest what’s happened. distracts them. shitty

also the girl... who plays Kitty is eXTremely pretty.

How is Bill convinced of the Doctor helping people? why does she KNOW this so intrinsically? she hasn’t actually seen it much

‘and you? what do you do? apart from shouting at him?’

Is the narrative seriously even using Kitty as a mouthpiece to criticise Bill’s response to the death of a kid? Did she sign up for fixing people’s troubles? no. she signed up to see the universe.

so Bill’s learned that she needs to ‘move on’ from a kid dying. OK????

How th ehell did they get back up in those diving suits and why didn’t they get eaten lol.

anyway that WAS a great speech, about the value of a life, and the value that an age or society or civilisation or species ascribes to every life. great stuff. I just kinda wish that the emotional response to the loss of such a life hadn’t been so disdained. felt empathy - even uncontrolled - remains an important part of humanity.

it’s good that he totally lost his cool though. after such a buildup

racism and classism explicitly condemned, whitewashing, pointed out, well done.

hah, the villain knows he hasn’t got an ounce of compassion? weird

so the doctor kills someone, Bill is upset, good continuity.

hm so he brings Bill along so she can decided for all of humanity? ‘i serve at the pleasure of the human race. give me an order’ WHAT. WHAT’S HAPPENED TO THIS ALIEN???

I only now realised that Bill was supposed to be a narrative contrast to Lord Sutcliffe in that she prioritised the life and happiness of a human-eating giant fish over the nebulous ‘progress’ of crunching people up. But that moment of decision - Bill’s conflict in this episode wasn’t really set to be about that until that moment.

And the Doctor called Bill ‘Boss’. hmmmm

this is actually an interesting dynamic to set up... AND a good attempt at righting the ‘formal’ power dynamics of teacher-student

ghostbusters (2016)

great pacing, some hilarious moments, actually hit the emotional snare just right with Erin’s ghost experience and being bullied and therapy

and holtzman flirting with Erin blatantly like? there wasn’t even anything to the dance and the wink? it was just in there

Erin hilariously crushing on Kevin. (ILLEGAL!! ‘you’re all sweaty’ PERFECT comedic timing ahahahaha)

THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE MAYOR AND HIS ASSISTANT ABOUT TANDEM PARACHUTING DLFJLKDJSDF

‘I think they’re dead....’ HOLTZMAN

the interesting thing about this is that the ghosts are actually SCARY AS FUCK but they look so cartoony almost.

‘pick a gun any gun - NO!!!!!’ like she’s dying jfc holtz ahahahha

‘she thinks it’s a sliding door. she thinks they’re all doors. that’s sad. she’s a scientist...’ THE DELIVERY ON THIS

honestly the whole end-fight on giant scale was meh. It really did make the ghosts too cartoony to land any sense of danger. the pacing was also shot to bits. them shreddign small ghosts was pretty cool.

they could have made the comparison between Rowan and Erin/Abby/Holz more explicit - them not turning to human genocide after being bullied

The whole thing with Kevin-Rowan was uh... meh. His light-hearted and comical delivery really didn’t help with raising the stakes. And Kevin afterwards too was very meh. Being so self-satisfied and the ghostbusters too...condescending... and the end was kind of weak... about the hearses...

Phil never came back - Erin shrugged him and everything he represented off halfway the movie? The whole thing about wanting recognition? that wasn’t very tidily resolved...though the comparison to batman was neat

or maybe that’s only the people diseased? damn that was some seriously brutal image. also corpses are the single most disgusting smell they should be responding like AAAAAAAAAGHGGHGHG NOOO eyes watering consistently they shrug that shit off so quickly

OH MY GODD!!!!!

i got spoiled by looking up fanfic (FUCK IM AN IDIOT) but hOLY SHIT! THA TWAS AMAZING!!!!!

why is this not on every tumblr wlw’s radio??!??!?!? DAMN!!!!!!!

I NEVER thought that was going to happen??? WHAT THE FUCK

and then SPOONING!!! SPOONING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! reflecting their psychological compatability!!!! lol

then cut to horrible rotting corpse getting disected aagh.

omfg they’re just like: ah yeah whatever i’ll just drag these virus-y bodies around. SLAM THAT FREEZER SHUT! if it’s airborne you’re all already dead.

Mohamad that girl is sketchy as fuckkk

ok this ep is the last one for today because damn marathoning this is getting me stressed alittle.

why is the horror woman so sexual.

OH MY GOD WHY IS DOC SO IRRADIATED WHAT THE FUCK???

if Doc’s hair is falling out how are they gonna survive and also why aren’t other people experiencing this shit and also why were all the soldiers in the freezer.

Sheama is such a SHIT. and she’s so impossible to read? do they intentionally make her so flat? why did she climb through the vents, why did she steal the map and tell the resistance, why did she go to Taka and betray Quiad? same reasons or different ones?

oh my god Axel is making the same argument as Bellamy once did but im not actually fuckin wantin to kick his face in! 

‘i’ll tell ya later’ what a fuckin idiot. he’s definitely dead. axellll.....!!!!!

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck he’s gonna die. DOC WHY 

i know why but why

also Vanessa could just bite every feral she sees tho. she’d be making humans instead of killing all of em.

oh no Doc. oh my fucking god Doc you fucking idiot.

this is gonna be so hard to forgive oh my god.

what the fuck Doc i mean? just open the door? one second? like. one second.

Axel could have fought him off.

i don’t know man this is a terrible time to stop watching this show because Axel just died to a dumb as shit bullshit thing. i mean. Doc? thinking? think? HE WAS BACK. even. even bitten he could have been brought back by Vanessa. This is gonna be impossible to forgive oh my god.

wow now Doc is officially a shithead. i am seeing a weird pattern here....where every black woman (2) in this betrays the people around them....i dislike this.

like. am i remembering wrong? would Gorman have overwhelmed Axel and Doc if she hadn’t closed the door? i don’t believe it.

HELL of a way to go....

I believe Kris is sort of scared of Agatha because Professor Oak is Kris' boss...

and Agatha isn't exactly warm towards him...

So Kris fears her a little bit.
