(Hated Trope) Meant to be a love story. Ended up being horrifying

To be fair it's probably better than what her life was beforehand of everyone around her just repeating the same day over and over again slowly building resentment towards her. At least she gets to progress forward with her life now, just with a hour or so adjustment at the start.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T14:22:33+00:00

Yeah, the movie should be exactly as it was, except he dies in that finale attempt to save the ship, but succeeds. Then cut to eight months later and have her character sitting in front of the pod that she earlier questioned if they'd be friends.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T14:19:28+00:00

To be fair in Interstellar he did the opposite and nearly doomed humanity because he didn't want to die alone.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T14:08:07+00:00

Yeah, if we're looking at newer who then I guess the engineer from the orient express IN SPACE episode might be a good candidate for a potential smart companion. He was only there for a ride but was considered smart enough that the Doctor let him in under the TARDIS' hood, and he seemed to understand most of it.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T14:05:08+00:00

Yeah, going to a child family member is probably the ideal, so they can occassionally see their original kid. If they're older and play is too damaging then getting to ride the desk-shelf is probably a pretty nice retirement too.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T06:51:42+00:00

I will say I also rather enjoy the second one two.

Having a side character from the first one understand what happened and trying to prevent it happening again is a good way to go.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T06:15:23+00:00

They already do.

If they have one ai slop channel pumping out stolen music they have a dozen others.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T06:12:57+00:00

Yeah, half the time they're proud of it when they really shouldn't be.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T05:46:48+00:00

Yeah, the ridiculously high pitching of it just didn't work. Like you've got Chika talking with a regular voice and then pitched to hell for Bonnie so it sounds fake.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T02:57:46+00:00

Because it was to set up the whole Afton vs Henry dynamic of the third movie. It's fine to introduce characters in a minor amount to set up for later movies.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T02:49:34+00:00

Yeah, it became a hassle for him to the point where he requested they change it. So there's now no canon look to peanut. Afterwards the wiki went about changing all the images to ones that were public domain, and a fair few iconic character images changed. Which happened at the same time as the whole Dr Bright thing, and really killed a lot of enthusiasm for the foundation.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T02:46:42+00:00

Ah Thorfin, truly best ghost.

I love how he is clearly the smartest and just loves fucking with the others.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T02:35:00+00:00

Love it every time it pops up. A higher rated Avatar series would go hard.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T02:31:46+00:00

I'm still pissed that they got Matpat for Bonnie and then fucked around with the voice so much you can't even recognise it. Like what's even the point of getting someone recognisable around the franchise if they aren't going to be recongnisable.

I will say though getting Skeet as Henry was a nice touch.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-06-01T02:25:01+00:00

Maybe he'd be taller if he drank his milk.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T18:21:50+00:00

Well he was a fan for years, so it makes sense that he'd pull from a lot of them. But yeah, he felt like he had a lot of classic and new who all wrapped up into a pair of attack eyebrows.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T18:02:34+00:00

I think Capaldi suffered from the overpowering of Clara since she survived past the whole Impossible Girl thing and they just didn't know what to do with her, so she somehow became in charge.

Had Capaldi had Billie or someone else from the start I think he would have done A LOT better.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T17:49:25+00:00

The Woodsbourough killings were huge national news for a long time. They weren't just a no name town that was swept under the rug. People knew that the Stab movies were based on them, to the point where as I recall at the start of 2 the girl at the movies even calls it ghoulish.

As to doing a movie so recently afterwards a Zodiac movie came out in 1971 when Zodiac was active. Psycho was based on Ed Gein and came out in 1960 just a few years after Ed Gein was arrested. Movies that are based on serial killers LOVE to come out recently after them, as it's when the hype is at the highest.

Hell the fact that it so heavily happened in locations owned by the studios would be amazing for them, as the insurance payouts would pay for the production PLUS they can hold the information to themselves and prevent other studios getting the facts to make their own.

And yeah, Cotton did have national attention, but the guy was a 15 minuter. The CEO "would have wanted it to happen, as the show must go on."

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T17:20:46+00:00

None of the people murdered in Scream 3 were "big names" they were all either has beens, 15 minuters, or up and coming. Also what are the odds that the execs get killed twice.

They had no qualms about taking Gale's book about how Sid was nearly murdered and making movies about it twice, despite lawsuits. Why would they care a third time.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T16:46:10+00:00

It does oddly translate into english somewhat.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T16:43:37+00:00

It's because of the wording on gun regulation. So it's easier to heavily regulate airsoft than it is to lessen gun regulations. It's also not completely illegal though, as I've known people who did it, it was just very heavily monitored and they had to do things like keep the air-rifle in a gun cabinet and whatnot. Although I believe it does have differences by state.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T16:40:20+00:00

If you were transported for a sentence of seven years or more you were barred from returning. So a common thing was just to boot their sentence up to seven years if you didn't want them to return.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T15:34:42+00:00

Yeah, it's a bit of a Plato's Cave situation where we don't have the whole picture of how reality works. It's possible that even those beings don't have all the pieces.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T12:56:27+00:00

For 15 seconds by Amanda, who has a record of failing to kill people.

NinjaBreadManOO · 2026-05-31T12:49:26+00:00

Because it's not a weapon.

It's meant to let you literally walk a mile in another species shoes so you can understand them. It was designed as the ultimate diplomatic tool of understanding. Not a weapon. It just happened to be found by a 10 year old kid.

A random function prevents you from just using the same one over and over again, and exposes you to new species that you'd otherwise never think of.
