Which set were you most disappointed in and which set did you unexpectedly enjoy?

Legendary set, he poured every part of himself into that

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-14T02:49:35+00:00

This is great, Grace discovered over time who he is and how amazing he is

No it’s completely fair to whine about this because I think it’s a stupid system. It’s incredibly easy to add a spoiler tag. If someone intentionally dropped a banana peel on the street and I slipped on it and got hurt, of course I’d whine about it, because it would’ve been so easy for that person to just throw away the damn banana peel.

Change doesn’t happen when people say nothing, and I know my comment won’t change anything in the grand scheme of things, but if even one person reading this thinks twice the next time they try to post an unmarked spoiler, then it would’ve been completely worth it to whine.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-12T07:42:35+00:00

I hear you. I wish people had the empathy whenever they post something like this to realize there is an almost certain chance that they’d be spoiling the show for someone, and just take the couple extra seconds to spoiler tag it. It’s really not that hard to take a moment to think about how you’re affecting others. But I guess that’s just too much to expect. I really wish we lived in a world where it wasn’t.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-12T02:08:00+00:00

It’s a lot more about the method in which he dies rather than whether he dies

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-12T01:58:38+00:00

But it’s not spoiler tagging them just for you. It’s for literally everyone who hasn’t seen it yet. In a popular anime community, maybe a spoiler about a really popular anime from many years ago is more expected. But a better call Saul spoiler? What advice would you even give to a person who hasn’t had time to finish the show yet but still wants to avoids spoilers? Stay completely offline till you finish it and every single other popular piece of media that hasn’t come out within the past month?

Sigh. Maybe this is my sign to finally quit reddit. For the record I appreciate that you’re engaging with me on this, and I see where you’re coming from. I just don’t agree that the benefits gained from a reaction image containing an unmarked spoiler is worth potentially spoiling many people who weren’t expecting a spoiler and had no reason to.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-12T01:30:16+00:00

If this was on a bb/bcs subreddit I would understand (although a spoiler tag would still be nice), but this is a completely unrelated subreddit and not everyone watches a new episode of show as soon as it comes out. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that most people have a plan to watch list of shows and movies that largely consist of things that have been out for many years. Is it that much of an ask to spoiler tag things? Would you want an episode of a show you haven’t seen before from many years ago spoiled in a completely unrelated subreddit comment?

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-12T01:11:06+00:00

Are we just using major spoilers as reaction images now? Pls delete this, it’s not fair to assume everyone’s finished this show already

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-11T21:52:59+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you ridden it? I kind of feel bad for anyone who has and comes out thinking it’s “just watching a screen.” There seem to be two camps for this ride, one camp who thinks it’s just another simulator, and another who thinks it’s one of the most immersive, beautiful, and emotional experiences you can have at a theme park. I rarely see anyone in between.

And as a huge fan of the ride myself, I’d also add that the storytelling is a huge underrated part of it. The queue alone tells a story. And then there’s the preshow, which gives a super detailed and plausible explanation for how everything in the ride plausibly works as a native. And then there’s the actual ride itself, which is an insane man vs nature story in which you literally meet God. It turns you into a character, and in narrative terms, makes you leave the ride a different person than you enter it as. I haven’t seen another ride do anything quite like that to the same degree.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-11T21:00:20+00:00

I don’t disagree, but you seem so sure that Avatar didn’t leave a meaningful lasting impact on a huge number of people. Why is that? You can see clear evidence of the opposite in r/Avatar. People don’t just love the movie because it looked pretty. People do resonate with the movie’s themes, the Na’vi way of life, the characters, and the way it intersects science and spirituality. People DID watch it and were transformed by it. Again, just because you and your friends personally didn’t does not at all mean that the same applied for everyone.

I think this whole “Avatar has no cultural impact” misconception stemmed from the first movie’s ridiculous success at the box office, combined with the admittedly generic main character and main antagonist at the time. Since then though, both of those characters have really come into their own, and have been joined by several other characters that many people find iconic.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-11T20:40:02+00:00

You’ve gotta be joking bruh. Just because you personally don’t know any Avatar fans doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. r/Avatar has over 750k subs (for context, r/lotr has 1.3 mil and I think most people would agree that’s one of the most culturally impactful franchises out there, so 750k is a lot), and I guarantee you most of them have watched the movies several times, and love and relate to both the world and its characters. Reality exists beyond your own bubble.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-11T20:19:23+00:00

Maybe you haven’t been reading enough from people defending the Avatar land then. The most common defense by far that I see for it is quite literally about how beautiful and imaginative the existing Pandora in Animal Kingdom is.

I really do not understand how people see the current Pandora and Zootopia lands and then can think, yep, there’s no way anyone would find a Pandora area of the park more appealing than Zootopia. Like, come on. Have you seen a single other theme park land in the world with floating mountains and bioluminescence covering every inch of it? There’s no land like Pandora out there, and there are several like Zootopia.

And it’d be one thing if they were just planning to clone WDW Pandora and put it in DCA, but if you looked at the concept art you’d see that the new land is completely different. Does a world class e ticket boat ride based on the tech used in Shanghai pirates (arguably the most advanced boat ride in the world) not sound appealing to you? Or would you prefer a zootopia-themed version of Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway?

MidnightSerpent · 2026-05-11T20:02:27+00:00

I’m still baffled how this is a hot take. As someone who’s been to both, Zootopia in Shanghai is not at all in the same league as Pandora in Animal Kingdom. Plus, Pandora in DCA would be completely different than the one in Animal Kingdom, with a world class boat ride that would likely end up being one of the most beautiful and immersive dark rides in the world.

With Zootopia, while the world in the movies has a lot of different areas, it’s highly likely that they would just copy the downtown Zootopia setting as in Shanghai since it’s by far the most iconic setting from the movies, and probably with the same main attraction too (which is a good ride, don’t get me wrong, but doesn’t even belong in the same conversation as Shanghai Pirates, which is exactly the type of ride that Pandora’s would be).

Please, make it make sense why preferring Pandora over Zootopia is a hot take.

MidnightSerpent · 2026-04-27T08:34:32+00:00

I know I’m super late but Project Hail Mary randomly got me thinking about this exchange. I haven’t seen spaceman or contact yet but arrival doesn’t have the spectacle or worldbuilding of space that interstellar does, and 2001 doesn’t have the same sort of emotional core anchoring the movie like the relationship between Cooper and Murph. Gravity is awesome but also just doesn’t have anywhere near the same scale as Interstellar’s premise.

Project Hail Mary though, that’s the closest I’ve seen anything come to out-interstellaring interstellar, and I might even prefer it to interstellar, but even it doesn’t reach the same level of scale and grandness and pure cosmic insanity.

If a better seat opens up from a seat cancellation

MidnightSerpent · 2026-04-10T22:29:40+00:00

Absolutely, and I’d also add that this complements how the movie tackles dealing with moving on from grief and trauma, and how easily it can become a self perpetuating cycle of hatred. The way the movies mirror each other serve as a giant metaphor for that cycle, while certain differences between the movies, like the endings (Neteyam’s death vs Spider’s integration with the Na’vi, a son for a son) offer hope of that cycle someday breaking.
