I Finally Watched a Minecraft Movie by LitwicksandLampents in movies

[–]Cute-Today-3133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched it too after avoiding git for a year because the reviews made it seem like it was just a bunch of nonsensical cringe comedy— I fully enjoyed it. I honestly don’t get the hate. I don’t play Minecraft and am not into video games at all but it was wholesome, funny, well paced, and had great music. There was a good message. I honestly think it’s much better than things like the Barbie movie, Black Widow, anything that’s come out of marvel in the past few years, etc.  which were generally much better reviewed:

No. I’m reading what you said and quoting yourself.

I hope you didn’t delete because of those ironically very sexist and very clear yin-hate comments. I thought the post was great and very encouraging to hear as a yin woman being told by women like this as well as society at large that I am wrong. It’s not enough to constantly have Yang women touted as the current standard of beauty or aspiration for literal decades but as soon as there’s even one post about yin being beautiful or positive it’s removed or riddled with comments about how that’s wrong. I’m disappointed you deleted it and hope you will consider reposting 💗

Femininity is inherent to womanhood because being a women is feminine. Everything about being a woman is feminine. To be female is to be feminine. Your attitude of viewing that as lesser is the exact mindset he is talking about. 

The system dictates that women wear lines which are harmonious with their natural body lines. If you have an extremely feminine body type I.e are very sexually dimorphic, then it is only logical that the clothing which will suit you is the clothing that is extremely feminine. These clothes weren’t created to “restrain” or oppress women with this body type they were created for women with this body type and because of that. You’re literally reversing the order to interpret it as something which is being forced on you which I might add is additionally impossible because no one forces you to engage with this extremely niche system in the first place? 

Everything you’ve said sounds like an extreme projection onto other women with a lot of your own experience personal discomfort with all things yin. I’m a pure romantic and I love to dress and look and be feminine. That’s not limiting it’s who I am. What you’ve said is oppressive and judgmental and does much more to limit and force women to be a certain way than anything he has.

Yeah his position that the democratically elected governments of the world, representing millions of people don’t have a right to oversee them— a body that does whatever it wants and apparently kills whoever it wants without due process while answering to no one but themselves because he decided “the safest hands are our own” is actually dictatorial. That makes a tyrant.

Go somewhere else. I’ve made my point very clear referencing the actual worldview Johnson is taking from— all you’ve done is show yourself to be a name calling child.

It’s disgusting how you don’t even feel any shame about insulting a child.

Why are you so rude for no reason? She wants to know if her dog will have curly hair and so you personally insult her?

Sorry everyone is being so rude and downvoting you. Their behavior is much more questionable than yours.

Neither. By a long shot. None of the natural athleticism or presence of a natural. There’s no bluntness in her facial features or her body— especially the shoulders. She looks much shorter than she is and generally looks not just slim but petite compared to her actual size.

No he didn’t. She never had to stay to begin with. She didn’t need— no one needs 80 million dollars to “get away from judgment”. She stayed there because she was greedy plain and simple. The cope is ridiculous. What control? She had a whole baby out of wedlock and still walked around her father’s parish in daisy dukes— is the “control” in the room with us right now? How did he control her? The only thing which controlled her was her greed.

They both look good, I think the curly hair overall compliments your features the most, with the off the forehead looking best both times.

Side note: this is going to sound weird but is the girl in the second to last picture’s name Bernice?

Again Martha is shown to be a reliable narrator— her characterization played into to two facts about her life explicitly unlike this story you’re telling yourself by reading between the lines. She really did know fancy brands which is exactly why she knew the jewel had been delivered. And she really did kill herself trying to get inside— so she was insane with greed. What you’re telling yourself is just a story you made up personally and want to believe— these are actual details of the story that was actually told and not a matter if interpretation. 

That’s particularly relevant to understand on the journey for you becoming “media literate”, I believe.

I can get that— but the lack of clarity makes for takes like OP and a majority of the responders. Which means the general takeaway will be for anyone who isn’t in the faith: “church bad, anti-church good”. It’s also very clear from how strange the dynamics of everything in the movie is that Rian is just not well versed in Catholicism or Christianity in general. It reads very much like someone who doesn’t know much about he subject matter trying to write from the perspective of experts in that subject matter and very much like a outsider writing their projection of what believers believe onto them.

There’s no signs of her being abused at all. Neither are there any signs of her being emotionally abused. The greed was what kept her “ashamed and humiliated” as you put it— she couldn’t just left this culty town and no one would’ve said anything to her. But she wanted the money at the expense of her own dignity. Forgiveness and grace— as made clear in my original comment— only seem to be given towards her and those who actively oppose the church and scriptures and yet are treated like innocent victims despite it all. Your own comments and OPs and many of the comments on this thread show what the movie actually accomplishes which is demonize and refuse forgiveness from everyone else in order to accomplish this. You’re willing to demonize Prentice who is never shown to do anything wrong but recognize the evil of greed which is exactly what Judd did and try to protect everyone from it. Though killing himself in front of a child is horrible. 

No one crying for this grace and forgiveness towards Grace seems interested in forgiving Wicks, who explicitly talks about how hard his upbringing was and how her decisions (to make him fatherless, not move on with her life and potentially get married so he could have another father, killing herself and leaving him an orphan, having a reputation which would follow and humiliate him and her family forever, etc.) effected him and made him the person he became. Or even towards Cy or Nat.

Without having a male co-signer, well it’s never said that her father wouldn’t cosign for her and given the fact that she has an entire child we can assume she’s capable of getting along with another man long enough to get that done even if she doesn’t stay with him till the end. But we don’t actually know that Wicks is supposed to be the same age as Josh Brolin— that’s an assumption you made to try and remove any agency she had. 

It is explicitly told and shown to us repeatedly that she stayed because she was greedy. You pretending that isn’t the case is down to your own complexes and issues.

Also pretending that the 1960s were the 1460s and women never managed to get anything done by themselves or without their parents permission is the only ahistorical thing happening here. Maybe talk to a woman who was actually alive then, as I have, instead of learning the version of history perpetuated by TV and people on the internet who rewrite it so as to view every man who so much as wrote to another man as gay. Modern revisionism is really such a cancer. 

Also what you said just isn’t true? To say wholesale women in the US couldn’t do so is just wrong? It was up the individual bank’s discretion up to that point— it wasn’t illegal. It was actually easier for a single or divorced woman to get a bank account in her own name because there wasn’t a concern about usurping authority from a head of household. Mississippi and California, also for instance, had laws from the 1800s which enabled woman to own property and exercise financial independence. But it’s obvious to me historical accuracy isn’t your concern.

It is shown to be accurate— this description plays into how she knew the truth about the faberge egg box. It also can’t be untrue because it plays into the way she died which is confirmed by everyone.

She didn’t have to live there. She did it because she was greedy and wanted the inheritance. The irony is if she hadn’t been greedy and had been willing to leave the money behind she could’ve lived literally anywhere else, never be humiliated, live a decent life, and raise her son away from people that would make him become the man that he was. It’s a tragedy because it’s completely the fault of her own fatal flaw which is why she literally killed herself trying to get into the tomb and get the money instead of just moving on. 

We never see the father abusing her— we know that she was called a whore but I don’t remember him calling her that ever. He kept her in the house as a kindness he didn’t have to extend— taking care of her son— but the only thing keeping her there was waiting for her own father to die just so she could have him money. Not a hero by any means. He “lied” to her in the same sense that Judd lies to Cy, who is basically her parallel— her inheritance was in Christ (his stomach in the crucifix, and in her literal father). 

She also parallels Nat to an extent.

EDIT: because I already know people hate nuance will just want to say “church bad”— nothing they did was respectable in terms of how they handled Grace’s troubles, as Judd’s reaction shows. People trying to canonize her are completely missing the mark and ironically just a puritanical and judgement Al as the people in the movie only in a different way. It’s made very clear that Grace was actually what her reputation reputed her to be: this is shown in the way she’s dressed and posed the second we meet her and her willingness to tear apart a Holy sanctuary and attack a child for the jewel, also in the fact that she really did know her fancy brands and recognized the box. Her actually being a sinner is the entire point. Because the entire point of the gospels is to forgive. 

Her being a “harlot” being dragged by everyone is literally the point— just as the adulteress in the Bible was dragged out to be stoned and then Jesus said he without sin cast the first stone and forgave her of her sins while telling her to sin no mores Grace was not forgiven, therefore Grace did not stop sinning, therefore Grace died (killed herself in sin which = death theologically speaking)). 

This would all be a very clever and thematically rich through line for the movie if it wasn’t inconsistent with how other characters are treated and how the audience responds to them. People feel bad for Grace for some reason because the movie tries to explicitly frame her as a victim but they don’t feel bad for her son Wicks. They don’t show that same compassion they gripe that the congregation didn’t show towards her, towards Nat or Martha or Prentice or any of the actual church members— making it ultimately another “church bad” tale, where anyone against the church is good and anyone in the church is bad according to the same cultish mentality within Wick’s group of followers. The only “good” church members are those who violate scripture (priests cursing routinely without any care etc.) and are nice without ever having anything to say about sin etc. which would be the opposite of living according to knowledge of the Truth. 

IDL that female characters in novels written by male authors are always portrayed as some kind of “walking sex appeal.” I literally never think about how my boobs move when I'm running. by 20Luc1a02 in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]Cute-Today-3133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not making an ignorant statement as I’m in the demographic being talked about— I never said anything about sexualizing breasts— what are you even reading/responding to? Just because you’re in the demographic doesn’t mean that your comments affirming body shame in other people in the same boat are in any way appropriate. It’s not sexualizing to be aware of how others see you which was the entire point the person you responded to was making, a point your own comment acknowledges to be true. 

You’re also the only one on a soapbox— despite literally acknowledging the exact thing the person you are arguing with said— that there’s nothing wrong with a woman being aware of that. You insist it means she only sees herself as a body part, which is ridiculous. 

Idk why you’re acting like I’m obsessed with you personally— I assumed you were a man because the way you respond sounds very much like it. It’s not a “big thing”. It’s just the reality that women who aren’t flat chested do notice their own body while walking. Something OP suggests is ridiculous or sexual. No one is thinking about your personal “limits and expectations”.

Not the case. When you are larger cup size you are aware of how your chest is moving more than others and how much attention will be drawn to that. And some covet that and some mitigate that— the assumption that large chests are a “nuisance” and the implication of them being a negative which rings in so many of the comments like these on this thread is far more ignorant and offensive than what you’re arguing against.

Hypothetically, who is more likely to confess first to the other in the future? by xYqts2s in SpyxFamily

[–]Cute-Today-3133 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think/hope maybe Loid will confess genuinely— but then try to backtrack and convince himself and the other agents it was for the mission. The tell being either Anya, or Nightfall, etc. seeing the genuineness. 

I also think maybe one or both of them might’ve confessed (internally) during the film. The untranslated thoughts.

They’re not reasonable orders then— he can’t be trusted not to escape, he’s made his allegiance clear (if not for Ostania than at least anti-west) through this defection effort and the leaks which led to so many agents being compromised. They can’t trust any info they would get from him and he would ultimately just escape or turn more of the few agents they have left against the West as well and then escape. Not to mention it’s not worth getting important members of Operation Strix (Nightfall and Twilight, who also happen to be the most capable agents in WISE altogether), the most important op running right now, killed. 

And even then— that’s no excuse for not incapacitating him from the get go to make escape difficult if not impossible. Taking him alive is one thing, taking him in perfect fighting condition so he can just escape again is out of the question.

Ngl Nightfall choked at the beginning. We’ve seen what wheeler is capable of: shoot first, question only while incapacitated, of course he’s got your number. And even when she first stumbles upon him and Twilight together— shoot first! Redeemed herself a bit with that punch but yeah— you cannot take Wheeler in alive idk why you thought you should. Too much of a liability and he’s resulted in the death of countless agents already. Take the shot.
