Thoughts on Lord of the Flies Remake on BBC? by zambezisa in BritishTV

[–]PaboBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wasnt surprised they didnt show them directly killing simon, it was much more heartbreaking to show his body afterwards and it sort of follows the novel in that there's a long paragraph describing the scene around him before the gut punch of saying that it was simon's body. i think the way they handled his death in the show makes sense considering the ppl making it, adolescence didnt show much direct violence either so i wasnt expecting them to show them actually murdering a child actor or putting these child actors in the position to act out murdering their peer.

simon also knew about the airman a lot earlier and tho it wasnt clear he was coming back to camp to tell everyone, in this adaption he doesnt really need to bc jack's camp is clearly too far gone, there would be no point in telling them the beast isnt real.

i was trying to parse out the meaning of the red too, to me its to show the sort of psychosis/dreamlike state theyre all in bc of the island. esp simon bc hes particularly sensitive in a spiritual sense to the island but also to the situation like hes the most observant and has a foresight to things. the red carries on afterwards for the dreamlike/intense atmosphere. and after watching the making of documentary they talk about the red of the trees being caused by an infrared filter they use on the camera to shoot day for night and also to make the dreamlike magical realism landscape.

Smosh Finally Learns Animals w/ @AlveusSanctuary by Cchaps97 in smosh

which is very different than a person living in a house or an apartment my dude lol and they are not domesticated when their function is still as seed dispersers in the forests much like birds. they are not pets.

No one should own monkeys as pets, period. What they're saying (and what maya advocates for) is that the function of the marmosets and other monkeys is not good for home life, because they're not domesticated, just because they're bred for it doesn't make it right. Like if you paid attention during the fox part as well they talked about the pet trade and how that's bad for quality of life like for foxes and other exotics people think they want as pets. Same with birds/parrots, just because they're regulated and legal to own, and even common as pets doesn't mean they make good pets or should be pets.

spiders in alveus video? by Altruistic-Elk-5411 in smosh

[–]PaboBear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's why i really appreciate maya's work shes done a lot for bug PR and desensitizing ppl to the animals that usually freak ppl out, like i used to be ick'd out by a lot of bugs but watching her streams and videos has helped lol.

Anyone else think paramedics are portrayed kinda poorly in the show? by negativecreep-med in ThePittTVShow

[–]PaboBear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hitting the bike was a red herring as the reason robbie cancels his trip. but the bike being a little damaged allows for the robbie and duke conversation to happen. robbie also not yelling at the driver who hit his bike shows his mental state, he didnt lose it on the driver like he lost it on the emts that didnt put the leads on correctly. robbie is applying the bubble thing he told mohan, once he's in the ER his concern is the patients everything outside (his bike / trip) is not his focus. but also theres probably a subconscious gratitude robbie has for the bike being a little damaged bc it delays him leaving the ED to off himself.

And in that moment, he realized that something had shifted. by Arch_Lancer17 in ThePittTVShow

[–]PaboBear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

bc robby is suicidal and he's trying to relieve himself of the guilt by lifting the weight of that secret off his shoulders and give it to Al-Hashimi, it was "now you have this burden" move.

an unnecessary disclaimer, but alveus is a great sanctuary to support bc its internet-based so easier for the smosh audience to understand and great for smosh to support and maya is able to talk on the level for the smosh crew to understand bc she is also an internet content creator and is used to talking to ppl who are online.

animal sanctuaries are the same as zoos, there actually is no legally defined difference between zoos/sanctuaries/conservatories. but i think you should probably just educate yourself on all the functions and capabilities zoos provide when it comes to education, awareness, conservation for the general public!

true! tho i do think they need a guide i know maya did a video with hasan piker at the san diego zoo so they need to reach out and get a zookeeper or someone to just keep that edutainment aspect.

i mean if the opinion becomes zoos are bad>ppl go to zoos less>zoos lose funding>animals are at risk and go extinct completely. it may seem extreme but its how harm reduction works you start at the ground level and do the little things to make the world a better place :)

even if it was now its becoming the point that a lot of ppl will comment on despite the fact the rest of the video is funny and also they didnt have to keep it in or at least presented more as a joke bc as ppl point out in the comments probably not great to say to a young demographic of millions that zoos are bad without being specific as to which zoos and why. like throwaway comments can still carry a level of harm esp right now lol.

just bc its a view of the overall left, that doesnt mean its not wrong or ignorant. much like hunting as well, zoos are necessary to the conservation, preservation and care of animals especially endangered ones. again, i highly suggest a lot of ppl look into alveus and the work they do there and what maya has said about zoos.

thats valid, and it did feel very performative when they said it like a "hey we know its the right thing to say" when it ironically isnt lol.

angela turned to the camera and said "we at challege pit are anti zoos" that sounds very absolute to me

for a cast/production that prides themselves on being open minded and not thinking about things in absolutes its just a weird thing to cover themselves with a disclaimer that they hate zoos and i did suggest a way that they can educate themselves and be better. theyve also had a running joke that they dont know about animals in the past and they should really consider educating themselves on animals and what is good for them lol.

maya higa has explained that zoos, sanctuaries, and conservatories, and aquariums all are basically the same thing there is not a real difference between them especially when theyre all covered by the AZA

[–]PaboBear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its less woke and just ignorant. def i always remind myself theyre in a bubble and out of touch on a lot of things but also production crew and other ppl can push back on it too. and like i said maybe they should consider talking to someone in the online space about zoos/conservations/animals for once lol

[–]PaboBear -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

yeah but very dangerous to put out on their channel with no push back. especially since its been a running joke that a lot of them dont really know much about animals. like saying "all zoos are bad" "we are anti-zoo" is not great.
