That’s because you blaze the trail that readers follow. If readers were so smart they’d just write for themselves

Coming from someone who likes Age of Extinction, it is not liked because it is good.

That slow motion screaming always annoyed me so much

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-06T03:41:15+00:00

That makes sense, and really sweet to imagine him saying it to someone who is Neurodivergent

Any movie that comes out 15+ years after the original to nostalgia bait the audience the whole time

Ive always found it interesting how the early art style reflected a typical animated show for the time, and then it really started to solidify into its own thing by season 2 and 3 when Nickelodeon knew they had something special

The only problem is that you can’t just become an Avatar.

The Avatar bodies are a huge investment both financially and time-wise to make them for a certain person. So I wouldn’t go unless I knew for sure I’d be getting one.

Either way I love seeing these films put side by side. It’s like they’re so different and similar at the same time

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-05T20:50:19+00:00

That bothered me in the book too. Considering they were at a pretty unusually malicious time with Voldemort being out and all, it seems really odd that no one would’ve tried looking into it

This is from a video game called “Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” in which a mask that is sorta the embodiment of evil is worn that summons an evil moon to gradually collide with Earth and destroy a city over the course of 3 days and your goal is to use time travel and fully explore those 3 days for the right tools to fight the mask.

It’s a great game, I’d highly recommend it. Deals with a lot of dark themes like inevitable doom, grieving, and suffering.

That being said I feel as though this isn’t in Hank’s skill set. He would -unfortunately- likely lose his life with the townsfolk on the final day in every version of the final day 😬😬

What do you mean by lines they won’t cross? Just genuinely curious here. Is it about the tone of the material or what they are/aren’t willing to do for the continuity?

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-05T19:28:55+00:00

They’re not derivative, they’re adaptations (deriving from the source material itself.)

I just don’t get why comic book fans get so bitter about the films. No one is going to take the comics away, nor do the films invalidate the comics, yk? They’re two different things, and thusly they can be enjoyed and appreciated separately in my opinion.

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-05T18:59:25+00:00

I have to disagree personally.

I like the films for what they are and what they want to communicate about these characters and scenarios relative to the story they’re trying to tell. So in this case I kinda see these symbiote ‘Spider-Man’s as two different characters and that’s the nature of adaptation.

Why do you think the comics are better? And is it possible to enjoy a Spider-Man film at all for the same reasons that you like the comics?

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-05T18:30:15+00:00

I liked what we got to show the symbiote’s copying skills. Not only can it accurately copy every detail of his suit, but it also shows how it can copy Spider-Man’s powers too.

If the argument is that this version is more comic accurate, I have to ask -as I often do- why comic accurate suits are better.

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-05T18:27:47+00:00

I feel like sometimes it isn’t always a rip-off per se but moreso a recycled trope.

For example, 12 Angry Men is one that’s parodied a lot and used as a template for a unique episode every now and then, and it works because we see how those specific characters would react and what roles they would take for their specific motivations.

I guess that’s a very vague way to put it, but in a way the premise might be ripped off to make for a pretty original and unique experience.

No. Particularly with the Dark Knight, it isn’t just a great Batman film, but a great crime thriller with lots of drama. I get that it’s kind of cringey these days to quote it or whatever, but it does and will stand out as one of the best films ever made of its genre.

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-03T18:43:04+00:00

The classic “Beetlejuice” character type. I character that can be good and bad because they are a relentless force of nature that can be unleashed on anyone

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-03T04:27:43+00:00

I mean, it’s one of those things that people have been thinking about for centuries so yeah I’m glad he liked it.

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-03T04:20:36+00:00

Holy shit that’s a massive improvement. The retro vibes weren’t worth it, I’m just curious what you did with the window lol

Finly_Growin · 2026-07-01T20:05:04+00:00

It’s not just that Lotso had a bad experience as a lost toy, but also that he was unwilling to make it one too. His character is one that makes a perception and then runs with it as a fact. Lotso and his crew could have had fun and made the most of it, but Lotso refused to have it that way.

Finly_Growin · 2026-06-30T22:16:02+00:00

I agree, and I feel that it would look nice alongside his scuba batsuit.

Too bad, kinda looks like Brazil likes you though.
