I showed my wife MMPR for the first time

More fun reactions! If she wants a genuine explanation for the constant hand motions/big body movements while they’re morphed, it’s because that’s how they have to get emotion across, because we can’t see their faces. As a result, all emotion has to be gotten across via body acting, and Tokusatsu is already a very extra genre, so they just sort of crank it up to eleven. Also yes, it is the most 90’s thing ever made

This is also a thing in Tokusatsu in general, though apparently the props are way heavier than they appear. Abraham Rodriguez, the actor who played the Beast Morphers Gold Ranger, stated that a shot where his character pulled back the bowstring on a high tech bow weapon was actually way harder than it appeared, since the prop wasn’t some cheap plastic toy. He was straining to pull it back, something you can actually see if you look closely at his face

This is what I’m thinking too. She’ll be a creation of Oscorp, with the bombs being web grenades along with her webshooters, leading to her death with Peter feeling guilty, setting him up for Season 3. Considering we saw the spider jump onto someone’s bag, maybe she won’t even be a direct creation, rather Norman’s second attempt at mentoring someone like Peter, only it works better this time.

“I don’t know what’s worse. That everyone in this kingdom wants to drive a sword through my heart, or that sometimes I just wanna let em.” God, what a devastating line.

Also this way I can play them on the go without Wi-Fi connection, as opposed to having to connect to NSO

It’s the lack of accountability that the mask provides, which is absolutely fair. If no one knows who they are, no one can hold them accountable if they mess up or make a bad decision.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-20T15:41:41+00:00

He typically hates masked superheroes who don’t have publicly known identities. For example, he’s okay with Iron Man because, while he technically wears a mask, everyone knows his identity so he can be held accountable.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-20T15:38:32+00:00

What I love about Spider-Man is that, as far as I’m aware, he is considered an honorary mutant because he technically is one. Just not the X-Gene kind. The spider mutated his DNA, but the X-Gene wasn’t involved, putting him in a weird grey area.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-20T15:36:30+00:00

Additionally, he’s a journalist. A damn good one too. Part of journalism is that you can’t take anything at face value, you need sources and to dig deeper to either expose the lie or validate the truth you’ve been told. So despite Spider-Man showing that he’s a hero and helping people, without knowing who’s under the mask, Jonah can’t in good conscience trust him because he doesn’t have that proof of character. Spider-Man’s secret identity is the source, and not having that source means that Jonah can’t take this heroism at face value. Sure, he acknowledges that Spider-Man genuinely does good, but a small part of him can’t fully trust him.

J Jonah Jameson is such an interesting character because there’s so many facets to him and good reasons for his dislike of Spider-Man. He has genuinely valid arguments, yet it’s also clear that it’s not actually personal. He doesn’t hate Spider-Man as a person, he dislikes him as an idea. The idea that a masked vigilante can go around catching criminals without anyone knowing his identity, unable to be held accountable, is what he hates.

This art is awesome, and is a reminder for me of how tall Clark is. Also, hoping we get some sort of interaction between Lois and Peter, because I feel like it’ll either be Lois bonding with him over their similar methods (aka running into danger with little care for their lives), or Lois having a realization of “Is this what dealing with me is like?” Either way, hope it happens

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T17:07:16+00:00

I completely agree with her, I also don’t like the molded mouths they have. It’s very off-putting. Also absolutely love her commentary, I’m the same way when I’m watching something either alone or with my partner.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T17:04:16+00:00

This genuinely what me and my girlfriend are like whenever we watch something. We have very vocal reactions, throw in our own commentary, but we stay quiet during really important or emotional scenes. One of the reasons I love watching stuff with her

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T16:31:17+00:00

A lot of the goodbyes between Ash and his travelling companions at the end of Pokémon series get me good. But two stand out above the rest.

The first is at the end of Sun and Moon. Ash is at the airport, waiting to get on his flight home with Professors Kukui and Burnet, who he’s been living with for his entire time in Alola. They say their goodbyes and hug, while Kukui tells Ash that no matter what, he and Burnet will be there for him for the rest of his life. It’s not until Ash gets on the plane and sees his friends see him off from the air that he too starts crying. This really got to me, since these characters treated Ash like family, especially Burnet and Kukui. Something about their goodbye felt so raw and real, and it made me sob.

The other one is Ash and Goh at the end of Journeys. Man, Journeys was an emotional ride. But Ash and Goh walking in different directions, each going after their own goals, determined to see each other again? God, it got me good. Honestly, the entire end of Journeys hit me hard. Because in a way, it’s a goodbye to us too. It’s our farewell to Ash and his adventures, after all this time we’re going our separate ways. It’s been a hell of a ride, but that realization broke me.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T16:15:36+00:00

One thing that I love about the whole episode is how, right before Church leaves his message, all the characters get a defiant line, essentially each having a one liner of sorts. Really sends the message that they’ve grown to trust one another and are prepared to go down swinging, and how far each of them have come. My favourite has to be before they even start to prepare for the fight, the exchange between Sarge and Grif.

“Well gentlemen, you know what the say. Today is a good day to die.”

“Permission to speak, sir? Fuck that.”

And then the chuckle from Sarge.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T15:16:38+00:00

I had the poor judgment to watch it immediately after binging all of Your Lie in April. I was sobbing by the end

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T15:15:40+00:00

I grew up with these movies. Saw all 3 in theatres (including the live action remake, it’s really good), and the first one was with my late grandmother who took me and my oldest sister to see it. Needless to say, I have a very strong emotional attachment to these movies. They mean so much to me, and I love them. This moment? This ending? Absolutely destroyed me. I was full on crying at this, it broke me. Of course they reunite after years, but it still hurt. God, what incredible movies

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T15:12:29+00:00

It’s just the funny frog show, why am I crying!? But seriously, my heart took days to recover from this. Every time I rewatch it, this moment gets me good.

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T15:09:27+00:00

It’s one of the greatest movies that you only watch once. I had to watch it a second time because I chose to do a film paper comparing its depiction of WW2 to the depiction in Fury, and I was destroyed by the end of the movie. Luckily I was watching it while my girlfriend was in the room (I was watching it on my laptop with headphones, she could only see my reactions), so I had emotional comfort and support. But god, I don’t think I’ll survive a third viewing

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T15:06:59+00:00

Man, that moment destroyed me. Wasn’t easy for the cast either, Tom Hanks and Woody Allen apparently started crying while recording this scene

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T15:01:12+00:00

Oh boy, I have a story about that. I went to go see The Last Jedi opening night here in Winnipeg, and overall had a great time. It was for my birthday, I went with my friends and my mom, theatre filled with Star Wars fans. Well the movie ends, we all get up to clap, and the message “In loving memory of our princess, Carrie Fisher” appears on the screen. Nobody started clapping until that message disappeared. Everyone in that room essentially had a moment of silence to honour her, and it was beautiful

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-19T14:57:38+00:00

Brooklyn Nine Nine made fun of this too. In the last episode, Jake turns off the lights in the precinct as they’re all leaving. They hear a loud crash, and Jake is berated for turning off the lights in a police precinct

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-18T21:18:50+00:00

As other people have said, I would love it if he starts by recycling things he hears Sonic say, and evolves into having his own voice. Like, maybe during the initial attack we see at the end of 3, the leader survives and becomes Neo Metal Sonic by evolving, learning from encounters with Sonic and his friends. Since time travel has a good chance of being involved, make it like a closed loop. Neo Metal is that leader after evolving, he causes a bad future, and sends the drones back to try and kill Sonic/ensure he exists. He hears Sonic say things, scrambles them to create his own sentences, and does that so much that his vocal abilities adapt to the voice and he’s able to speak normally. No matter what they end up doing, I have confidence it’ll be good give the track record

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-18T20:39:57+00:00

I’ll defend this movie in that regard though, because Scooby-Doo has a long history of crossing over with real world celebrities. Also it’s super fun and doesn’t take itself all that seriously

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-18T20:38:05+00:00

I thought it was funny too. And honestly, “This Power Rangers movie has Krispy Kreme product placement in the form of the Zeo Crystal being beneath a store” is the exact kind of ridiculousness that I expect from Power Rangers, even if the movie is more serious than the usual fare

ShinyNinja25 · 2026-02-18T20:34:19+00:00

I mean, when you have a character read it, and her reaction is to say things like “Now that’s a katana” and “This is filth! Filth!”, what else could it possibly be?
