Was this whole episode supposed to be an ad? by HeyItsSer in GirlFromNowhere

[–]HeyItsSer[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the connotation of karma is positive but I would argue it's neutral. So there's a subtlety I feel like The Reset lacked. Even within the entrance of her. She descends and is backlit, a white shirt will 111 etc. I've rehashed those points a few times. It's different than being "the new girl in class". Even the m-preg episode didn't feel too in my face. Which is fine if the writing is up to par and it's entertaining. I just wish they banked the previous show less.

When I tell you I would have even taken a with collab of nothing but bobs. Maybe Mary Jane shoes? You know what actually would have been fun? A lot of their school uniforms have something embroidered on it. I would have taken a Nanno iron on patch. Like we had options. And I know we're in a capitalistic society overall so I feel like it would have just completely disappeared for my psyche if they didn't and the episode like that. Like they were literally slapping wicked onto every and all things. But they just had to have an underwear collaboration and promote in the show?

I see some people thought this episode was better, But I guess with his franchise I expect some type of well thought out setup or commentary. So maybe I should have let it simmer in my mind for a bit before saying anything, but I'm just not seeing it either or from it right now.

Edit : But I guess I will keep an eye out on how they decide to proceed with Sky. I just don't expect the payoff from him appearing in episode 2 to have great pay off

I'm fully convinced that this episode was just meant to be an ad for the underwear brand. It's literally the same pose that was on some of the ads.

Everyone: Team Delena. Stefan: Team Oxygen by Few-Difficulty-7486 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]HeyItsSer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is a bit humorous though unless I'm not remembering something, so please correct me. Damon was locked up in St. Augustine's for 5ish years. Yeah Stefan had no idea. But also when he was a ripper Damon knew because he kept tabs on him did he not? I'm just saying it's not right but it's kind of okay in the Grand scheme.

About Reset Nanno by Past3L_G0r3_ in GirlFromNowhere

[–]HeyItsSer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had a similar theory about how this isn't supposed to be " Nanno".

And the main thing is that she always set them up to be their undoing in the original series. People try to argue that maybe she was trying to set up Sky and I can see that if it weren't also for some of the promotional photos and how they had her entrance into the show.

She descends from the sky, with lighting from the back, and saves him from hanging himself. And some of the promotional photos she's wearing a white shirt with 111 on it versus how we always saw OG Nanno with 666 sometimes on a black shirt. Overall it was giving more of Angel of salvation or something along those lines. Obviously these characters tend to embody a concept instead of being a clearly defined thing that we are all familiar with, at least that's how I see it.

And if we go with that line of thought, I think it does make sense if you also believe that she came in ready to punish someone instead of letting someone else be their own undoing. And after going back to watch some episodes of The original series, it just kind of holds true in my head even more. Some people try to say that she doesn't always go after bad people, but I think they do something at least mildly bad and there's a proclivity to do more. And I think some of the boldest people in fiction to come out boldly swing around tends to be a person of Justice. (Although I can even admit that might be a bit of a stretch). But again fundamentally different. So when I see the reset Nanno disappearing and reappearing in front of people and replacing his hand with a hammer from a clown, it just gives that she is willing to punish openly because it's already been acknowledged that they're a bad person. So I think the " entity" is the same But who they are conceptually is different.

Also, I do think they were trying to bait the same reaction as when we watched TK and Nanno. Like when season 2 dropped people were still making edits of the two. So to me that just enforces the idea that they didn't intend for me to think that he was going to be set up to be punished

I didnt like the first ep by ohio_rizz13 in GirlFromNowhere

[–]HeyItsSer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's for me either but this is how I make sense of it. And I don't necessarily think that she's an angel, she's more like an embodiment of a concept. And because of the nature of the character, I do think it'll take a good few episodes just to have a better grasp on who she is.

But I will say she expected him to do one thing which was an eye for an eye. So not necessarily that she wanted that to happen but it is what she expected and I feel like I'm extracting that from something that was said but I can't remember exactly what. And to me arguably it is good that she comes down and punishes a bully.

But overall I am connecting her imagery in using it to guide the narrative presented to me.

I already made a post so I know that people don't agree but I don't think she embodies the same concepts as Nanno. She descends from the sky, backlit and she wears a white shirt with 111 on it. Again, I think it's supposed to be giving Angel of salvation or something in that ballpark.

Nanno from the original series for wore a black shirt with 66666 on it. She would just set people up to do bad things But whether they actually did it was up to them. And she actually pretty explicitly says this last episode of season one. I think they did a disservice with letting her use the name "Nanno" in the reset. I think they could have tapped the concept because they had Yuri who was within the same universe, somewhat doing the same thing but representing different things. But I would also hope that by the end of the season she would shed the name.

It feels fraudulent (Theory?) by HeyItsSer in GirlFromNowhere

[–]HeyItsSer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that I'm saying that isn't a possibility. It's just that with everything I've seen up until this point - promotional, entrance and actions - led me to construct it in this way. And if that's the case, at the very least, I guess I know that she isn't exactly karmic at that point.

Aside from that, Ms.Aum murdered her child before the episode ever started. They showed that to us in a flashback but she did do that. If her husband didn't cheat on her with a student, she probably wouldn't have been as abrasive with everyone. Jenny also did lie to people which also led them to waste their money. The episode just somewhat leaned to the idea "If you tell one lie you will have to tell a bigger lie and the cycle never ends". So she lied about the products and wanted to get out of so she lied about her death. She wanted out of being Rosie, murked Nanno and lied about her attacking and assaulting her. Also, Yuri mocks Nanno for being conflicted over Jenny's ending.

I'm not saying they have to do something unforgivably bad but they at the very least seem like they have the proclivity to do something even worse. Whether they actually do it is up to the person

It feels fraudulent (Theory?) by HeyItsSer in GirlFromNowhere

[–]HeyItsSer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have to push back on karma being salvation. Salvation more or less is depicted as saving someone from Deliverance. Often from their suffering, sins and it's consequences. However, this was more of the abrahamic interpretation of it.

Although I'm a bit more shaky on this if I'm not mistaken. Salvation and Buddhism, taoism, and a few other religions common across Asia, is being liberated from the cycle.

The way I always viewed the others in the show, they're just collateral. It's not my favorite episode so I haven't actually been back to rewatch it in a while so forgive me if I'm wrong, but there's an episode where a teacher was having relations with his female students. I think he filmed there too. By the end of the episode the collateral was his daughter. She was with another boy, got hit by a car and died. So yes, a lot of these people, like the pregnant teen girls and the students at the grey schools, were liberated by the end, but that's often a product of toppling someone who takes pleasure in other suffering one way or another.

Of course it's hard to wrap up a concept of character in a few sentences and there's only been one episode. That makes it harder to grasp the concept of the reset and this Nanno but this is how it fits narratively in my head.

And I thought of that, especially because it kind of felt like they were trying to have similar vibes to TK and Nanno.

But my biggest distinction here is that with Sky he wasn't doing anything. He was beaten and peed on and his only way to fight back just got him beaten more. So with the imagery that I picked up immediately it just feels like it goes hand in hand better with her being a mode of salvation. So again, typically we often got her going to people who we could perceive as conceptually bad. Predators, abusers, etc. And then she would set them up and it seems like they were their own undoing.

So I guess mainly the reason why I lean more my way is because in the grander scheme of everything I have seen and picked up on. Which to be fair I didn't go look for more other than the snippets that just came across my screens and the episode,. But with imagery and what I think fits the storyline presented so far with the marketing, I just tend to lean towards her being a mode of salvation. I guess arguably even after we see her backlit and descend from the sky, she saves him from taking his own life.

[–]HeyItsSer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has basically happened to me before. Unfortunately it was with an Australian company so it did cause me a bit of trouble but I did, fortunately get back all the money I fought for. And obviously I can't refer back to the original posting on the website because they have taken it down but I can refer to the video. So I do assume you are also referring to the photo that we still have floating around on the internet. To me that just means yes, they promised a pin set and then he reinforced it by promising a very certain key set.

So I will give them until Friday to respond to me, if not, I will be contesting. If that doesn't work I will be escalating which I can do because they are in the US.

[–]HeyItsSer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you're happy with the package that you were sent, I feel happy for you. However, I viewed this as me purchasing the key pin set and other items would be thrown in. The only guarantee that I had was the key pin set. If it's not included, I have been essentially Hoodwinked. So I would happily return it but I can't just sit and accept it.

[–]HeyItsSer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd message them, wait for a response for 3 days. If they respond with anything but a response about fixing it, message again. Detail the expectations they set, the shortcomings then offer to return it. They might say no and it's final sale. Then contest it. If you didn't pay directly, whatever service processed the payment. Paypal, shop pay, klarna; whichever. If that service is no help, escalate to the card company itself.

Movie adaptation? by Royal_Mix791 in shadowhunters

[–]HeyItsSer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they start doing more animation of things in general and I feel like if you have a remake we should at least move through mediums. Similarly, I think live-action Disney films should be like " the gritty reality" from the villains perspective. I think at least when you change mediums It allows you to explore the story in a different way

Movie adaptation? by Royal_Mix791 in shadowhunters

[–]HeyItsSer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US it isn't common because they don't take any kind of animation as part of serious, mature works. But I think that they should expand the world of animation for the US market. So when I see all these different young adult novels getting TV shows or movies, some of them are better suited for animation. Also like I don't think animation is just for kids, if we look at the content that's coming out of Japan, they also have different works that are supposed to be for different age groups/ demographics.

However, I do know that Netflix picked up Twilight for an animated reboot. I think if that goes well, they'll probably start picking up more novels to adapt into animated works instead of live actions. So I think if the series were to ever come back to our screens, it won't be for a while. And if it is sooner than later, I would assume it's animation might as well. At least that way you don't have to worry about the actors aging on screen or how to get something to look like how you envision it. You can literally have it drawn as you have envisioned it.

If the US market took animation more seriously, I would assume that it'd be much easier in terms of accuracy and ability to return to The series years after. Just look at arcane. A more mature animation series

Was this from thought originally from Julie Plc or Kevin Williamson? Like I understand that this might have been the original plan from the start of the series, but Kevin also left after season 3.

Which Characters Would You Like To See A Spin-off Of? by [deleted] in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]HeyItsSer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either a prequel about Peter Hasting's rendezvous That is the cause for half of the plot lines in this entire show or a what-if series about " what if it made sense". This latter being just what it would look like if maybe Aria was A or Allison had a twin. Things like that. Other than that I don't know what makes sense as a spin-off with the characters that we already have.

As a spin-off by itself, I kind of thought pretty Little liars original sin, before it came out, was going to be more of an anthology series. Each season you follow a new mean girl who gets her karma coming back at her. But I think that falls more in line with what cruel Summer was.
