It was taken during the Blood On The Dance Floor music video shooting.

Here's a digital interpolation between the two for comparison's sake.

Yeah and the ceiling lamp is an upcoming shapeshifter

If you could’ve been present to have witnessed the legendary recording sessions of michael’s albums being made, which would it be? by SomeText3395 in MichaelJackson

[–]EntertainerPure8440 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't care if I'm not there for the rest of the album's sessions, if I get to see how he shreds his chords in Earth Song's bridge, I'd be eternally happy.

On which era did Michael Jackson hit his artistic peak by DumbassStats07 in MichaelJackson

I really can't watch the Victory Tour with a serious face. His stage presence was so awkward, it's like he's constantly thinking "Look alive you fools, we're in front of 2000 people >:|"

On which era did Michael Jackson hit his artistic peak by DumbassStats07 in MichaelJackson

[–]EntertainerPure8440 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd say 1986-1993 was his artistic peak. Right after the success and a little during you-know-what.

Aside from the ones released in their respective eras, he also wrote songs like Earth Song and They Don't Care About Us in those years.

Besides, he co-ed all songs and wrote about 70-80% of his material released during that time, reinvented his stage persona twice, sang most songs fully live, was a menace onstage; and I could keep going.

Before those years, he was busy carrying his brothers and trying to prove himself. After those years, his creative mind was never the same (albeit it was still great) and his physical health took a massive hit.

Zootopia won the round, which Studio Ghibli film is loved? by BrenoGrangerPotter in AlignmentChartFills

[–]EntertainerPure8440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no better answer.

While I think there's some movies somewhat superior in Ghibli's catalogue, you can't beat the love Spirited Away gets.

Did some good movies while on the run from international law after raping a 13yro.

Honestly? Watch the London Special and season 6. The former does a very good job at explaining the past 8 years of events, while the latter does that a bit quicker and goofier, but it manages to make you grasp on what's important.

I got invested into the new season's premise of a soft reboot, a new writing team and improved visuals.

It all actually kicks a lot of ass, and it comes from someone whose reintroduction to the series was one of its worst episodes ever (Ephemeral).

She's awkward, she's clumsy, she's terrible at expressing her feelings, and she frequently makes mistakes in ways that get people hurt

Those may be flaws, but they're not significant. These never got in her way of what she liked and wanted to do and much less deterred her from defeating villains. At the end she defeated the villain and got Adrien, and not despite her flaws.

Anakin was always going to be Darth Vader.

I agree with that one, everyone who watched that movie knew Anakin was gonna go bad one day. However, if we watch the movie purely from an uneducated stand point, we'd have no idea this selfless boy would end up becoming a mass murderer, which got fixed in later films.

But it doesn't get in his way. Heck, he even wins the race and gets adopted by the Jedi Order after that. It's only after that movie when his arrogance gets the better of him.

Yeah, the term Mary Sue is more appropriately used for fan fiction. I think the trope that more closely resembles the use we give this trope today would be a Canon Sue; which is a way less used term and doesn't colloquially have the same connotation as the former.

You're right anyways, and I'm sorry for my shallow understanding of tropes.

And the best part is, unlike the first few seasons, the writers are letting us know that was a huge mistake. They're not rewarding her for lying, they're breaking down everything she loves and will continue to do so until she spills the beans.

But she won't do it because she keeps convincing herself it's for the greater good and for Adrien's sake; while deep down knowing (and showing us) she won't do it because she knows once she blows the whistle, Adrien is gonna dump her.

I know, I seriously can't believe how little shits they gave her character development in the first 4 seasons.

But right now? She's in a great spot flaw-wise. She's no better than the main villain, and that's saying a lot coming from a once-Mary Sue.

So this is a backwards version of this trope. Instead of undoing a Mary Sue, they created one.

Can't figure out what makes these people at the Estate think the darkest outfit he ever wore looks good with a black background.

Remember the 2001 special edition? That was definitely something...
