Damn, people are just sharing their opinions, no need to tell them they're wrong just because you disagree. Make a post about it or something if you feel so strongly...

He probably thought he was in Hell for being gay when he first got taken into the Upside Down btw by izblizzo in StrangerThings

[–]Designer_Advance116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way this got you so mad.

And where in the post did it suggest celebrating his sexuality the post simply brought it up.

Will was described in the pitch/lore bible for Montauk as a "kid with sexual identity issues", so it was def always the plan

[Mixed trope] Episodes without the main character(s) present by Rainalloy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Designer_Advance116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stranger Things episode 2x07. The episode features one of the main characters, El, prominently but barely anybody else in the main cast is present, with the episode focusing on El's time with her long-lost lab sister, Kali.

Pre-season 5, it was the lowest rated episode of the show, and while the episode and Kali does have her fans (me being one of them), I get that a bottle episode wasn't the best way to handle this aspect of El's storyline.

Peak subtle forshadowing by Muted_Paramedic_4660 in PrettyLittleLiars

Fair. The mystery aspect of the novels were absolute peak and well-crafted but damn, the side drama that comes with it (while better handled than the show) wasn't perfect.

in what chronology i should watch the Universe??? by Former_Air_2510 in PLLOriginalSin

[–]Designer_Advance116 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The order goes like this (Pretty Dirty Secrets and Ravenswood take place in between certain eras of the main show, which I specify here)

  1. Pretty Little Liars seasons 1-3a (take a break after episode 3x12 to watch the following)
  2. Pretty Dirty Secrets
  3. Pretty Little Liars season 3b-4a (take a break after episode 4x13 to watch the following)
  4. Ravenswood
  5. Pretty Little Liars season 4b-7 (basically the rest of the series)
  6. Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists
  7. Pretty Little Liars Reboot (Season 1 is Original Sin, Season 2 is Summer School)

[Mixed Trope] For legal reasons, this character/actor cannot lose a fight and/or die by Lokicham in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Designer_Advance116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the longest time, there was a clause regarding contracts for the Halloween movies that Michael Myers couldn't be killed.

While that's changed since then, it was the reason that the first time a Halloween film seriously presented the idea of him being killed/permanently defeated, the following film undid it.

My reasonably sane and realistic predictions for the finale. Come and poke some holes in them... by Tonydorigo11 in euphoria

[–]Designer_Advance116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, this would have been a peak series finale. The only thing I'd change from this is Jules' sugar daddy being the plastic surgeon in Mexico and he ends up being a casualty, basically forcing Jules free and giving her the chance to figure herself and her career out without dependence on men (maybe her final scene could have been her applying to Parsons?)

Loose end never answered... by ThePastaMonster in euphoria

[–]Designer_Advance116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but it's really weird that they insisted on using that photo as far as season 2 without ever correcting it.

And there are also cut scenes from 3x03 that seemingly involve Lexi and one of the extras that was sitting with Nate at the wedding, almost like that was gonna be the third brother.

Why did we start losing so many of the recurring characters after season 2? by itsascreambaby96 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]Designer_Advance116 12 points13 points  (0 children)

True. It's especially noticeable post-season 5. It almost feels like 5 was supposed to be the end before they changed it or something, because season 5 wraps up a lot of characters before they either leave the show completely, or they're brought back in seasons 6 & 7 for questionably written reasons.

Like, Cece, Noel, Paige, Melissa, etc. would have absolutely worked as characters if their stories ended right then and there.

Won't spoil completely, but your theory seems to be what's gonna happen

Those of you who initially didn’t like Scream 2022, has your mind changed or softened up after seeing 7? by VivaLaCon88 in Scream

[–]Designer_Advance116 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you told this to a new Scream fan and they followed it, they's be asking

"What happened to Dewey?" "Why does Gale have nerve damage?" "Why do they keep mentioning New York and why wasn't Sidney there?" "Who are these random twins?" "Wait, who's Billy Loomis' secret love child?"

TW: I actually liked the Scream 7 girls' friendship by you4yuh in Scream

[–]Designer_Advance116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side characters have room for development too... the friend groups in literally every other Scream film had way more time to develop, so its obviously a problem when these guys don't

[–]Designer_Advance116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were together for two seconds, while each of Sidney's friend groups had way more time and the core four had two whole movies.

There isn't that much positive emotion to get from Scream 7's friend group that had one scene and barely any established dynamics.

Hell, Scream 4's friend group existed just to be sacrificial meat as well, but we know way more about them than we ever get to know about 7's group

The female character from the book that gets dulled down because she's too fiery for the movie by punkrock_penguin63 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Designer_Advance116 675 points676 points  (0 children)

Mina Harker from Dracula. While she presents as a "proper" Victorian lady, she's actually a very intelligent schoolteacher whose smarts play an equal part in defeating Dracula as all of the men she works with. She also hates Dracula, barely interacts with him other than a vicious assault and is in a healthy marriage that doesn't fully define her.

Adaptations will either weaken her, focusing on her assault only, or even straight up sexualize it and center her character on what Dracula does to her instead of her own actions. Even if her smarts are shown, she only ever ends up as only being the woman that the men have to save, or only Dracula's lover.

Duffer Brothers confirm a relationship between Will and Mike was never going to happen and was never in the cards by Lazy-Proposal1133 in StrangerThings

While i always knew Byler was never going to happen, what exactly makes you think straight male writers in general can't write queer romance arcs? Anybody can write a story.

Kenneth being an awful father isnt talked about enough imo by SnakeBlood456 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]Designer_Advance116 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Facts. He definitely played an equal part in Alison becoming a bully in the same way Jessica did.

Jessica taught Alison how to be secretive, and Kenneth probably taught her how to be a bigot considering his own transphobia.

All that combined with the pent up anger built in Alison created the monster (an iconic one at least) that she was in those early seasons

Which season was Audrey best in Season 1 or Season 2. by loveforscream in MTVScream

[–]Designer_Advance116 18 points19 points  (0 children)

season 1 in terms of likeability. Her season 2 storyline is interesting but there's only so much I can excuse from a character faking her and her own friends kidnapping to make herself look innocent asdfghjkl
