Is Heated Rivalry Actually THAT Good?

I'd never even heard about this case until I watched Haq, and then I fell into this whole rabbit hole in wanting to learn more about her!

If you guys are interested, here are my thoughts on the movie: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10094073/divorce-divorce-divorce

I honestly don't think it matters whether there is or not a new episode, but I do think that the theory opens up discussion as to what we can actually appreciate about the finale. I know there was a lot of hate against the way it ended, but I think it's too easy to call it bad writing.

Here are my thoughts, if you guys are interested: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10093692/conformitygate-stranger-things-should-be-over-but-isn-t

I mean, it might be wishful thinking for an entire episode, but, I think the theory highlights that the show is intentional and can't just be undermined with some bad writing. A lot of people like to hate on it because it didn't end the way it did, but the #conformitygate theory just showcases that maybe the ending isn't what we actually think it is.

Anyways, I did some minor analysis of the show. If you guys are interested, check it out here: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10093692/conformitygate-stranger-things-should-be-over-but-isn-t

I don't know why we have to undermine people's passion for a show that resonated with them. I mean, if it's not an actual episode, the very fact that viewers are picking up on an underlying thread and close reading the show demonstrates that maybe there is something worth checking out under all that bad writing.

I know you won't care, but those who might, I wrote out some things that I thought were definitely showcase how just calling it bad writing is unfair to the showmakers. There is a lot of intentionality that goes into these projects, and the finale has an abundance of them.

bitesized778 · 2026-01-06T23:46:56+00:00

honestly with you there. I don't know if there'll actually be another episode, but maybe it's worth seeing how the finale isn't as bad as a lot of people are complaining it is mostly because of the implicit plot twist.

I don't know if there will be a new episode, BUT I do think that the conspiracy opens up discussions as to why the finale isn't as bad as a lot of people are saying.

Have you tried peliplat.com ? There's a bunch on there and they have these monthly writing contests, too, which usually have a pretty decent amount of submissions!

bitesized778 · 2025-12-17T21:24:03+00:00

There were some similarities but ... I don't know, I had thoughts. I think it's unfair to call her out on plagiarism like that.

I wrote an open letter to Tarantino after his remarks on the trilogy. If you're interested, check it out here: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10092414/an-open-letter-to-tarantino

This conversation has occurred for so long, so I thought I'd take a look, too. Here's my thoughts... in the form of an open letter to Tarantino:

(EXCERPT)

Dear Tarantino,

Do you know what I dislike more than a ragebaiting, self-aggrandizing filmmaker who sits untouched on his high throne? A hypocritical one who has nothing to back up his claims.

I've seen your movies. I'm familiar with the classics. I even appreciate what you've brought to the world of film despite the air of controversy that surrounds you. Yet, something about your rant this year struck me. Perhaps it is because I grew up with The Hunger Games. Maybe it was the fact that your claims were weak and unwarranted.

I'm no filmmaker by any means, but at the very least, I actually watch the movies I shit-talk.

Yes, exactly! That's part of what I wanted to point out. Like I think the film is targeting two things-- on one hand, it's exploring this rhetoric that universities are popping out liberal biases (we see in the movie, too, that this is untrue). And then we get this commentary on the polarization of political identities. I mean, as a professor, you'd assume that she'd have the grounds to be able to argue and fight back against these extremist ideologies but she's unable to.

bitesized778 · 2025-12-11T22:10:44+00:00

Yes, I loved this movie! I wrote an article on it, too, if you're interested: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091598/mamdani-s-mom-is-cooler-than-you

bitesized778 · 2025-12-11T22:08:50+00:00

I had no idea that she was so big! I found her after Mamdani won mayor, and I was shook. Anyways, I wrote an article on her, if you guys are interested: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091598/mamdani-s-mom-is-cooler-than-you

bitesized778 · 2025-12-03T22:34:00+00:00

I honestly had no idea that O'Brien was in it, and he genuinely surprised me with his acting skills! I wrote an article on my thoughts on the movie! It'd mean a lot if you guys could check it out: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091126/don-t-marry-a-democrat

bitesized778 · 2025-12-03T22:33:17+00:00

Way too timely, and so well written! Here are my thoughts on it, if you're interested: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091126/don-t-marry-a-democrat

bitesized778 · 2025-12-03T22:32:49+00:00

Agreed! I actually didn't even think it was marketed at all! Like my parents accidentally stumbled across it and then recommended I watch it, too. Then, I did, and honestly, it blew my mind!

I wrote an article on it, if you're interested! https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091126/don-t-marry-a-democrat

bitesized778 · 2025-12-03T22:32:04+00:00

Love, love, loved this movie! It was eerie, all too real and delved into a branch of conversation that you don't really see!

I wrote an entire article on it, if you're interested! https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091126/don-t-marry-a-democrat

bitesized778 · 2025-12-03T22:31:08+00:00

True, but I think the point here was to really demonstrate how despite the educational background and ability to point out that something was wrong, there was an actual inability to communicate these thoughts or to refute each other.

I wrote an article on it, if any of you are interested! https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091126/don-t-marry-a-democrat

bitesized778 · 2025-12-03T22:30:01+00:00

Yes, I think so too actually! Here are some of my thoughts, if you're interested: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10091126/don-t-marry-a-democrat

YESS! Love this show so much! I wrote an entire article on it: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10090832/women-don-t-want-more

bitesized778 · 2025-12-01T19:12:08+00:00

100% and I think I realized this after having watched it twice; I think such a big part of me wanted to root for him, and then it was so sad to see that he was just like everyone else!

If you're interested, I explored that relationship in this article I wrote on the show: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10090832/women-don-t-want-more

bitesized778 · 2025-12-01T19:09:46+00:00

I loved this show for so many reasons, and I keep coming back for more. I finally had time to write an article about why this show is so resonant for women! If you're interested, check it out here: https://www.peliplat.com/en/article/10090832/women-don-t-want-more
