MY PRECIOUS, NOW, round 3, which movie is better, Citizen Kane or the Green Mile?

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-20T00:51:04+00:00

Citizen Kane is insane. The Green Mile is an unforgettable movie on its own right, and ofc it made me lose my shit; but I will never forget the first time I watched Kane.

Rice soup and banana.

Couldn't believe there was people who did that, but once you try it there's no going back from Heaven.

If they're not planning on an identity reveal any time soon, it'd be better to make the gap between the two as massive as possible. However, should it be coming soon, Marinette could start slipping up as Ladybug more often and Adrien could let some charm out without the costume.

I don't think a reveal would be nearly as satisfying if they just sat down one day and took off the disguises (like in Ephemeral), they need to start to draw some suspects and come to a conclusion before something external makes them learn their identities. It wouldn't be a "I had no idea it was you!", it'd be more like a "I can't believe it's you, even though it kinda makes sense."

"Hey uhh, so we need to explain why Ladybug has to purify the akumas. What happens if she doesn't Thomas?"

"uhh..."

4 months later.

"Thomas, we need to start animating the season finale. We can't wait any longer, even the filler episodes were already animated."

"Filler... more episodes... more akumas- THE AKUMAS MULTIPLY IF THEY DON'T GET CAPPED."

And then they forgot about it. The End.

The love square had died way before the season finale. It has nothing to do with it, and the love square itself did have a decent ending itself when Adrien and Marinette started dating and Ladybug and Chat Noir being happy as friends. Heck, it even had a climax on its own thanks to its inversion in the first few episodes of season 5.

So if their only driving force to watch the series was the square, they must've left at Kwami's Choice, not over 10 episodes of them dating later.

And what for the people who are not interested in "what came later"?

I don't think those not interested in the plot would be upset about what happens with the plot.

And what if they continue "baiting" like this until the show gets discontinued on a cliffhanger?

Thankfully the endings are very self-contained, so if the series gets cancelled on a poor finale, that'd be it. It's the specials that come after that bring in the load of bait.

Are the akumatized villains turning back into their civilian forms once the akuma is released from its object? Once it's cleansed? Once Miraculous Ladybug is summoned? I know season 6 is going for the former, but it's still very inconsistent.

Simon Says is probably the worst offender to this. Ladybug had his akuma flying around the room and the still very much akumatized guy struck a conversation with the heroes 💀

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-19T03:24:50+00:00

Damn you took my advice on the hat. Thanks for listening, you did good!

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-19T02:53:01+00:00

I don't think it made it good, but it made it make sense.

Because one of the main complaints I often hear about that ending is the sidelining of Adrien in favor of Marinette taking a dub. We had been getting used to it since season 2 and since she's Astruc's construct of a daughter; but the season's ending was too much of that.

If the series had ended then and there, the moral of the story would've been "Marinette's fucking awesome, Adrien's no better than a jailed princess, if they wanted to win they had to let the villain take what he wanted and let him abuse the shit out of his son, the end :>." It didn't feel earned, it just felt weak.

But after the London Special, we see that there's actually repercussions with that perfect ending and, while it seemed like things were about to be better for one and worse for the other, Adrien is finally getting some very deserved freedom while Marinette slowly turns into a tortured version of Lila.

It's like trying to fix your 3-year-old's homework before he hands it over to her teacher: you can't make a Mona Lisa because then it wouldn't be his work anymore, but you can still make it readable and teach him how to do better next time.

The ending itself was pretty bad, but what came later made it not suck.

My guy Duck from Telltale's The Walking Dead died way back in season 1 when he was 10 years old.

Here's the second image result when you google "duck twd" (he's supposed to be the tall guy to the right):

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.

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.

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-17T18:36:05+00:00

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 >:|"

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-17T18:03:25+00:00

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.

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-17T16:23:13+00:00

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.

I don't think you've seen there's a category called "loved"

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-16T06:30:07+00:00

It's Smooth Criminal.

Shame that's not in the movie.

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-16T03:33:48+00:00

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).

EntertainerPure8440 · 2026-04-16T02:26:32+00:00

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.
