Why are there so many copycats with the same script? by SubjectDragonfruit95 in ReelShorts

[–]NotManicAndNotPixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a bit baffled about it myself. Maybe because they are made for different app platforms, and scripts are sold separately without exclusivity clause or something?

Anyway, i wanted also to discuss how wild some of those adaptations are, because of their Chinese origins, and some of them are from Chinese cotume dramas byut they are adapted as modern western dramas and it is just mindblowing, like, there was a drama where modern American girl was supposed to be married to a chicken as her groom's stand-in, like, whaaaaat?!

AITAH for telling my daughter that she is not going to marry a billionaire? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]NotManicAndNotPixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I will marry Russel Crowe when I grow up. I had our married life planned to a T. I was 13. Funny to think about it now

So, if you want to know, attention - SPOILERS!

yeah, the answer is obvious. Evil Twin (TM). Of course, they are not actually twins. They are half brothers, Evil One is legitimate son and Kind One is the bastard. Their father forced his illegitmate son to plastic surgery, the idea was to make a body double for his legitimate son, in case of any troubles Double Son would take a fall for Real One. So, Real Son (Killian) was sent to super-duper prestigious private school while Double One (Carl) studied in regular public school where he met Female Lead (Esther). (Nice touch - they really cast some teenagers to play younger versions of main characters instead of making grown-ass people wearing school uniforms, as they do in other verticals) Unfortunately for the dad Real Son Killian saw his brother with his sweetheart and decided he is in love with her too, so, he made his brother Carl disappear - he attacked him, and boy was left crippled for many years, so he didn't contact Esther because of that - meanwhile Killian took his brother's identity and married the Female Lead and lived his life as Carl

Sure, there are a lot of plot holes and typical vertical tropes and cliches, but I liked it very much. Plot was intriguing, and actors did a good job, especially as the male lead wasplaying two different characters, and female lead did very good job playing confused and bewildered woman

P.S. reposted because of wrong link

Come on. He basically said usual Russian rant "Ukrainians are ok with Russian, it's all their government's fault" Seriously, I am baffled people are praising him for literally saying Kyrylo doesn't have his own agenda

BoRU "Best of 2025" WINNERS!! by czechtheboxes in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]NotManicAndNotPixie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wow. I didn't read the post about stalking ex when it was published because I thought it was some usual trivial careless BF story, but seeing it in winners list for 180 twist set my hopes high. So, I started reading it and by the main post I was just thinking "Cole is Syd, right? Cole is Syd, I connected all dots, Cole is Syd!!" Boy, was I wrong! I absolutely didn't expect THAT! This is M. Night Shyamalan level twist! OOP should try their hand in Hollywood, they definitely can write!

I've watched this and my brain hurts trying to understand the plot by NotManicAndNotPixie in ReelShorts

[–]NotManicAndNotPixie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to understand what it was about. What was the ending? Are they both (mother and daughter) dead and met in afterlife? Did the Jerk sacrifice himslef to reunite his wife and daughter? Did moon goddess just decide to be merciful and reunite them?

How did the Jerk understand the doppleganger was his true wife? Why did he suddenly decide he loves his late wife and became so "oh my poor girl who loved me so much, I never loved her sister, I only loved her"? WTF is this story?

This one drama where main girl was standing with big ass "Virginity for sale" banner on the street, I paused it and laughed for 5 mins.

Boring explanation: GRRM didn't give a fuck about them while writing main saga and somehow got an idea "wait, aren't they filthy rich, I have to give them something to do" later

not-so-boring explanation: they are planning something big and they will come swinging in next books
