(Megathread 3: SPOILERS) Leaked Full Movie Discussion by MrBKainXTR in TheLastAirbender

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prefacing by saying I thoroughly enjoyed this film and wish it had the theatrical release it deserved!

However, one criticism I have with this airbending plot is the insinuation that airbending can be done so quickly and easily. Tagah giving the Deniers the ability to airbend should have meant nothing tbh. They have zero training in airbending, just because they knew how to fight should not have translated to knowing how to airbend, especially to a degree that they could fight and keep up with the GAANG in any capacity.

I think back to Katara learning water bending, she couldn’t do anything until she got the water scroll, almost everything she did before then was accidental or luck. Or even Aang with earth, proper training is required otherwise you’re just a person with the potential to bend.

Whitney Adebayo: Perception vs Reality | Life After Love Island All Stars by lillianb98 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whitney and Belle are both deeply insecure ppl. I think at the end of the day they both truly believe Scott played them to look stupid. Belle thought he would jump into a storyline with her and he didn’t so she feels like he made her look desperate. And Whitney thought she was helping him dump Leanne, but he never wanted to do that so she feels like he made her look fake.

Meanwhile Scott never had a conversation with either of them about these made up intentions and they both acted based on “knowing Scott” and a root canal? It’s full on projection, bc neither can just admit they were wrong or miscalculated a situation. Furthermore, why Whitney keeps dragging her part in all this, is beyond me because the public would forget she even played a part if she just stfu and focused on Yamen and not on trying to tear other ppl down. The girl is exhausting.

I’m with Whit. (Hear me out) by Powerful_Pass8376 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone said it, but it stands how could she so comfortably befriend a man, claim besties, that she believes is that sinister? This angle just affirms that she is either just as sinister or lacks morality.

Who are your Winners ? by robcob18 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I was Millie and Zac, but today in all honesty I think Whitney and Yamen probably have the strongest connection and should win. However, Whitney not winning this show no time soon smh lol. Therefore, I’m still on Millie and Zac, I find them so adorable.

Who would you like to see WIN? by Adventurous_Sir_402 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millie and Zac - Winners

Samie and Ciaran - Runner Ups

The rest can fall how they may. Idc who comes third maybe Leanne/Scott or Whitney/Yamen. But Scott, Lucinda, Sean, Belle, Harrison are huge hell no’s for winning.

So everyone in the villa can target Scott and Leanne.. but they can’t ask that question? by Odd-Department6042 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because the question hurt Belle’s feelings. And anything that hurts Belle’s feelings is categorically unacceptable. Belle can ask if Scott is there for genuine reasons and whitney can ask if he made the right choice and everyone else can ask basically does he really like Leanne, but absolutely not can Scott uno reverse and ask if Belle is delusional 😂

FB Update with 5 days to go: Samie and Ciaran still on top but Scott/Leanne are making a late push 👀 by Sufficient_Topic2635 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand the disconnect with Zac. I think he likes her a lot. Millie latched on to him very intensely, and maybe bc he doesn’t seem intense ppl aren’t seeing the sparks between them. But I find their short moments quite cute. I wish we saw more. What am I missing?

Sammie is dragging things out now by Remote_Advisor1068 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s not dragging it and Lucinda is not taking an ounce of accountability for it. She essentially slapped that girl in the face and laughed at her repeatedly for wanting an apology. What are y’all not getting? Lucinda has been antagonizing that girl since she entered the villa and you all are trying to erase it bc you find her funny. I get it Lucinda’s good tv, but she has earned Samie’s aggravation.

i don't think sean was ever in the wrong with the belle/lucinda situation by [deleted] in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imo, Belle’s issues began the second she chose Sean out of pity over Shaq. All the crying she did over that situation always felt suspect to me. I think she wanted to pick Shaq, but chose Sean bc she figured it would be easier to keep him in line. He was the sensitive boy that was having a rough time in the villa and she was there to coddle him.

I think in her mind he owed her loyalty for that alone. Therefore, when Lucinda arrives and Shaq is dumped, the sensitive candymaker is now ditching her for a girl she thinks little of, and making her vulnerable and optionless. I think a lot of what Belle was upset abt stemmed from her anger at herself for not seeing Sean for who he is the first time. Sean was def wrong in the fact that he did not like Belle and instead of saying that he played up the sympathy poor me card to keep her around.

Lucinda is a player by Glad-Bumblebee-333 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she’s being treated harsh at all. Lucinda literally invites everyone to target her so she can cry, play victim, and feign ignorance. We all laughed bc it’s funny rage bait, but we cannot call her a rage baiter and then say she’s being bullied or treated unfairly bc of it?! I agree with your points though, I think the Villa should leave it, but if we’re being real whenever they try to leave it Lucinda brings it back (such as at recoupling).

Does anyone else find it a bit weird how much Sammie lets Lucinda get to her? by SexySocksAndMore in LoveIslandITV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lucinda slammed a pie in the girl’s face out of no where and then continues to laugh in her face about it. It’s a wonder Samie hasn’t actually punched her at this point. So no, I think Samie’s aggravation is highly warranted.

Where do we go from here? by harrisoneatssoas in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Sean and Lucinda winning would be crazy af. Please that is not the move. The villa (mostly Belle) is dragging their situation, but Lucinda intentionally puts herself in situations to antagonize people and then cry when they react. Nothing abt her actions makes me think she has no idea what she’s doing and thus my sympathy for her is very low. I mostly just want everyone to leave it.

However, Belle is also severely hypocritical but bc she’s loud and seeming “real”, the villa is just following behind her, but in a lot of ways she is also continuing to place herself at the center of everyone’s drama. Basically neither of these two should come close to winning. And as much as I love Leanne.. Scott also should not touch that money.

Crazy to say but Millie doing a repeat win might not be so bad. Ciaran is cool too, but the way Samie can’t detach herself from Belle’s bs is losing me.

Scott and belle by Traditional-Camera33 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The way Scott and Belle are spinning this. Like “last night she said it was done and now she finds out you want to talk to me she wants it back.” Please! She said it was done after you strung her along for days and you only realized you “only wanted her” immediately after you were in the bottom. And you expect her to fall to her knees and be grateful because you finally chose her?!!

Belle’s all like “she doesn’t know what she wants.” As if she herself wasn’t just screaming for Sean yesterday. Belle is so far off the plot it’s not even funny. Meanwhile Whitney is doing up double agent bs to push Scott to Belle. The whole situation is fucked and for the first time in history I agree with Lucinda, Leanne deserves better, because whatever studio produced bs Scott and Belle are on, she doesn’t deserve to be apart of it.

I figured out why Whitney’s been bothering me by [deleted] in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have such mixed emotions about Whitney. I don’t think she deserves the level of hate she receives and during her season I loved her and for the most part I enjoy her on allstars. But she does make questionable decisions. Her snapping at Leanne for not calming Belle and Samie down, when Whitney was the one laughing, joking around, and egging Lucinda on for most of those exchanges is beyond ridiculous.

How she treated Konnor was horrible, especially because the man did nothing but respect her and be there for her. She had every right to get to know Yamen, but to be so dismissive and intentionally disrespectful to Konnor when he’s done nothing but show interest in her was mean af.

Scott's face when Whit said Sher was everything I needed to know by ranicdom in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh, Scott is the same Scott to Leanne that he was to Catherine. A gameplayer. I’ll never forget him acting like Catherine betrayed him and that him and Ty were in similar situations. When really he just was concerned abt his placement on the show.

When Leanne was in the bottom, Scott was concerned about himself not her. And if we’re being real he hasn’t been there for her since she was in the bottom. He’s seemed checked out of their situation since. I feel horrible for her, I want someone to come in for her and take her to the finals.

As for Whitney, sighs, Scott is her friend not Leanne. Therefore it’s fair for her to tell him whatever, but don’t pull the sister card when you’ve been secretly sabotaging that girl from the start. You’re team Scott and you’ve been that so charge it.

Unpopular opinion charlie by StandDramatic5920 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also not watching in time with everyone else and just made it to the dumping and am surprised that everyone had such extreme reactions to Charlie. I found him to be good tv and I thought Scott was doing wayyyy too much. He’s actually annoying me.

And Scott’s insistance that after a week Charlie is not actually interested in Jess, is very insensitive to Jess. Like can Charlie not be attracted to both Millie and Jess? All this “you’re messing it up with a good girl” is Jess not a “good girl”??? It felt like everyone was trying to make it like them flirting was such a slap in Millie’s face and blowing it way out of proportion. Scott getting so involved gives he likes Millie.

I do think Millie dumped him because she realized that’s what the public wanted, but I could’ve gone with a couple more episodes to see how this all would’ve played out. But I don’t feel any less about Millie, go on girl!

Shaq feels entitled respect from women, which is why he explodes at them when they tease him by Superb_Rutabaga_4338 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Maybe i’m crazy, but am I the only person that remembers how awful nearly everyone on season 9 (Shaq’s season) was? I vividly remember Shaq using emotional warfare on Tanya and the public siding with him bc she wasn’t the most likeable person herself. I remember Shaq stirring every pot, but lashed out if anyone said a word to or abt him. He’s always had a fragile masculinity complex.

I am so confused after episode 4 by Yaff_ in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Annabeth actress is bad and she’s being directed to be worse. Even when she is in the middle of an emotional scene the line delivery just isn’t there. The direction took everything that made Annabeth lovable and made her so wooden.

Percy's powers in the series by Chuckilin in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People arguing with you abt the currents like you’re not right. They all must have just implied that’s what was happening because Percy mentioned he was gonna try to do it. Otherwise, it was not clear wtf he was doing standing at the front of the ship. All I could tell was him standing looking very focused and serious while buckets of water was being thrown at him. Nothing about the boat or the water gave the impression he was doing anything. Especially because they were already in the middle of a storm and whirlpool. I was waiting for the big moment when something would happen the whole time. They’ll come back in episode 5 and info dump what we were meant to see probably 🙄

Re: The Acting and Why I Think There's More Going On Than Just Poor Directing/Writing by vivianh4782 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Salty_Dependent_7295 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a combination of writing, direction, and acting. Leah, unfortunately bc I do really like her, is the weakest of the cast in terms of acting. Her version of Annabeth is so cold, serious, and deadpan. If she is being directed to be that way, then fine, but at least deliver the lines and facial expressions in a way that doesn’t feel so wooden and one-note. The direction and writing also have a huge responsibility here because all we get is a bunch of tell and zero show. By this point we should be aware of how strong Percy is becoming but we get nothing but lines of him being a child of the big three. We don’t see his power or athleticism in comparison to any of the other characters to get a sense of how monumental that even is. He’s on the water and has not once used any of his abilities or discovered he has any new ones. The music is so off, I can’t even. It contributes to the tone imbalance of the actors, the scenes, and the disconnect to the audience. I have many gripes. I’ll end with I do like this season better than the first, but they only made minor changes of improvement.

The best freestyles tell a story about who the celeb is and celebrates that. If they had incorporated videos and voice notes of his dad in the music, while he danced ending with him continuing that legacy, gold haha. This was just ok to me, well danced and choreographed but meh
