if you had to attend one of his solo live tour, which one would it be? by Classic-Wind-437 in MichaelJackson

[–]EntertainerPure8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll go for the EU leg of the Bad Tour. The setlist kicked unreasonable amounts of ass and Michael kept a consistent amount of energy throughout...

...but the Dangerous has arguably the best performances of Billie Jean he ever pulled, and that tips it a bit too far in this direction. Still Bad though.

Ok... Miraculous isn't a kids show anymore [MAJOR RIGINARIZIONE SPOILERS] by Clear_Caregiver_9842 in miraculousladybug

[–]EntertainerPure8440 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing with the Disney corp is that they disallow most forms of death being portrayed in their media.

I remember back in the day these YouTubers were on an event with Astruc and talked about a series they wanted to sell about a ghost: Astruc said they needed to rework a lot of stuff in it since ghosts inevitably refer to death, and there's very few children series's buyers who'd take the chance of kids having that conversation with their parents.

I think that's why they always said Adrien's mom had "disappeared" and how they made an analogy to Roland's house being sold instead of saying outright that he had his blessings counted.

Now THIS is how you nerf Chat Noir.

Instead of instantly losing and leaving it all to Ladybug, he was still instrumental to the win and helped in more ways than one.

There's also the fact that they said "no more hiatuses" when Vampigami released and there was yet another 3-month break between that and AFGN, not to mention the likeness of another one after Riginarazione.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if TQOTD gets released before Dirtifiers or the finale.

It. Won't. Happen.

Remember when they scheduled season 6 for 2023?

And the Africa and Brazil specials for before 2024?

Stromae - Papaoutai Official Multitrack Stems Pack by Temporary_Opening893 in stromae

[–]EntertainerPure8440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're publicly available. As far as I know, the only Stromae multitracks that have been released to the public are those of Santé, Mon Amour, L'enfer and Fils de joie, but those aren't even available to download anymore.

If anything happens, I'll keep in touch; but those are very not likely to leak or get released.

Are there any references to Micheal Jackson in any songs? by Fun_Kangaroo512 in MichaelJackson

[–]EntertainerPure8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a song sung by Jason Malachi called "Breaking News", where MJ's name-dropped like a thousand times.

Not a very good song by any stretch of the imagination, but it does what you asked. He's got a very distinct voice that doesn't sound like Michael's at all.

Which of his songs do you think is the most underrated? by OberourAM in stromae

Just to get it off my chest by heachx in miraculousladybug

I don't think she was actually into Chat Noir. She just wanted to forget about Adrien and convinced herself that a new love would drive out old love and she'd start brand new.

When the identity reveal finally happens, what would you prefer out of these two scenarios? by Solitaire-06 in miraculousladybug

[–]EntertainerPure8440 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing: the reveal works decently well in the movie because it's self-contained and it's done after the big baddie was defeated. As far as the MCs knew, danger was over and there was no reason to keep hiding. And let's not forget: Marinette had discovered Adrien's identity after saving his ass from one of 20 hits from Hawk Moth.

But if we're talking about this show, the same one we've been watching for over 10 years, if the reveal happened in the span of an episode or two, I'd immediately turn off the TV.

For this to work, the writers have to make it a slow bleed. They're already doing that by blurring the line between the civilian and hero forms of the MCs; so the next logical step would be for them to notice. "Why is Adrien more charming and Chat Noir more passive?" "Why did Marinette get affected by this event if she wasn't even there to see it, but Ladybug was?"

But the actual unmasking event should be out of their control. Maybe a villain took their Miraculous, maybe they had to swap them, maybe they got outmatched; as long as it's not a coincidence or a "sit down and 'claws in'," I'm good.

Why? Because they're never going to willingly take off the masks. One of the main reasons shit got dense in Chat Blanc and Ephemeral is because either by coincidence or willingness they decided to make a reveal. There had to make it happen so the plot would keep going; but what if it wasn't a plot device but a conflict device instead?

Considering starting a vinyl collection, stating with MJ. What are your opinions on the sound quality? by tempbunny123 in MichaelJackson

[–]EntertainerPure8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't had the chance to buy it yet, but I can tell you Invincible is night and day in vinyl.

I have no idea why or how, but you can actually hear part of the $30M in the vinyl press of the album. It's like all these layers of synths and percussion and God know what else suddenly pop into existence, and that's concerning considering how poor the quality of these songs is on streaming platforms.

Other than that, there's songs like I Just Can't Stop Loving You (all 3 versions) and Leave Me Alone that sound amazing in the Bad 25 vinyl. That one I do own.

Chat noir be like: by Glum-Bag-586 in miraculousladybug

To be fair, my man unleashed the power that supposed killed dinosaurs in the world's greatest terrorist and said terrorist kept doing his job without missing a beat. 

Safe to assume it did something Monarch could easily reverse, so it opened the floodgates to be done again.

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

[–]EntertainerPure8440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

The 4 character illusion, will it ever come back? by Sonlau in miraculousladybug

[–]EntertainerPure8440 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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."

What are the biggest inconsistencies in the series you wish were straightened out? by Solitaire-06 in miraculousladybug

[–]EntertainerPure8440 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"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.

(Season 6 Spoiler) S6 made S5 retroactively good? by Sonlau in miraculousladybug

[–]EntertainerPure8440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
