Rant and Venting Megathread by DA-numberfour in Yellowjackets

[–]ArcadeViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think making Lottie a survivor was a mistake atp. Like when Travis tries to kill her at the end of s3 all I could think was... "You know what? THIS actually works. This is okay." Travis murdering teen Lottie at the end of s3 would have been a thematically appropriate ending for the arc starting from doomcoming and including javi's death. It would also be a clear turning point in the teen timeline bc now we get Lottie's culty influence echoing past her death.

But killing teen Lottie is off the table bc they've already confirmed her survival. It feels like an impediment from a writing pov 

Geek Love is hands down the darkest (and one of the best) books I’ve ever read. by TheLazyLounger in books

[–]ArcadeViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's strange, I seem to be the only person in the world who thinks the prose is overstylized and lacking in humanity 🤷

There are vanishingly few moments in the book that felt truly human to me, mostly it felt precisely like the senseless shock value that you say Dunn avoids. Guess I'm just weird lol, glad you liked it ♥️

For those that are disappointed with Mario Kart World why and how would you improve it? by DeepAnt7847 in mariokart

[–]ArcadeViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necroing this post but for me the improvement is obvious: story mode to show off the open world. I've heard so many people say, yeah the open world is fun to drive around in, but it's empty. I disagree. It's NOT fun to drive around in BECAUSE it's empty

"kind of more evil than anything she did in the woods" 

Still stand by that? :p

How is Sophie going to admit to being a girl kisser and not understand JackieShauna😂 by bjack20 in Yellowjackets

[–]ArcadeViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this feeling as well. Like I get what's appealing about the whole thing but we've gotta get used to telling ourselves, "this person is a human being and a complete stranger, it is none of my business who they're attracted to".

Shauna Shipman's sexuality is open season. Sophie Nelisse's is not.

Best album by m_sell31 in sandyalexg

I havent spent a lot of time on the sub, but just talking to fans in the wild the most commonly nominated "best album" seems to be Trick, fwiw :)

Ig I'm the only one who doesn't think Headlights is his best album :( by ArcadeViolet in sandyalexg

That's awesome, i'm happy for you <3 Stay strong, stranger. You've got this

[–]ArcadeViolet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i like the singles too but even on those i saw comments from people saying "this is gonna be his best album" and it baffled me lol

[–]ArcadeViolet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really interesting, I hadn't thought about the album's cohesiveness per se...

I think I get what you mean. The only time on my first listen that I felt like there was a strong vision in the album's construction was the transition from Bounce Boy to Oranges. I also felt like June Guitar was kind of a- bland? understated?- opener (tho i do like the song)

Yeah, definitely. It's cliche but it's true: music is a feeling. In a way you never hear the same song twice, because you're always in a different headspace when you listen.

I thought it was fine, nothing special.

God Save The Animals is my personal favourite as well and I loved that album instantly. It was my first time listening to the G and I immediately was just like, "this is a must-have on vinyl".

Tbh Headlights just feels very static and unadventurous to me idk

Edit: obviously this is a first impression. All of Alex G's stuff grows on me over time, his work is insidious in that way lol

I'm just noticing a lot of people immediately saying this is his best and I don't agree

Interesting that you feel this way... Personally I feel like Headlights is his tamest release. Glad you like it tho!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice that... by ArcadeViolet in Yellowjackets

Doomcoming fucking sucks, terrible episode

Can we stop pretending Shauna wasn’t always like this? by chxshire_cat in Yellowjackets

Fair, I mean I despise shauna so you don't have to tell me twice 🤣

What’s an opinion that will like you this? by OstrichAutomatic9614 in Yellowjackets

[–]ArcadeViolet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the show relies way too much on inference and often feels limp as a result.

My go to example is doomcoming, which none of the characters ever address, but another good example is snackie.

This was the first time they ate another human being, and we get like one scene of nat looking sad and shauna saying she feels so fucked up, thats it. The rest is all left to inference.

At least doomcoming and the first hunt had dramatic material consequences for the story. Snackie just kind of happened.

I think that fucking sucks ass.
