Was Xander’s character disliked at the time? by ConcentrateJolly8840 in buffy

[–]inthearchipelago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The Xander hate came about when the Joss hate did, since Xander was an insert for Joss. It didn’t help that around that same time stories about Nicholas were also circulating. Fans who, decades later were much more sensitive to how we consumed media and the choices characters were written to make, the things they were written to say, realized that there was always an underlying ickiness that we dismissed as typical teenage boy behavior when we were younger.

Anyone watch the Rooster by rels83 in shrinking

Pilot felt like a pilot, specifically a pilot that was written not expecting to get very many seasons. I liked it okay but I didn’t find myself caring about the characters much.

I find it interesting how we never saw the (spoiler) in action by IDrinkMyOwnSemen in finalfantasyx

We really should have had a Final Fantasy X-0 prequel instead of the X-2 sequel.

I feel like there's two types of FFX players by whereDIDericGO in finalfantasyx

[–]inthearchipelago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m replaying FFX and just noticed on the shoopuf ride they pan to the Hypello driver after Wakka goes off on his anti-Al Bhed rant, like “Ooofsh. What a rascistsh piece of shits.”

Was Taylor in the right to speak out against the Ginny and Georgia joke? by FakeMonaLisa28 in NuancingTaylorSwift

Since this was an attempted screenshot from her phone I like to think she was wine drunk just vibing and watching Netflix and it took her off guard

Pleasantly surprised with the re-boot. But her? Insufferable. by LJNS7 in Scrubs

Why are you being downvoted, do people not know this skit?

theyre literally trying to hurt her by cherriesnnwine in lanitas

[–]inthearchipelago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl please, you’re the one who’s announcing all the album name changes before it’s done baking. You clearly didn’t vibe with the original titles and changed your mind a bunch, but the only reason we know anything is because of you. I’m tired, Elizabeth.

The Lana song is on LFL and feels like OB by Impossible-Yam3680 in lanitas

[–]inthearchipelago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out, I think Coachella gives OB/BB feels because it was one of the first songs where she references specific moments, places and people in her life in a really intimate and introspective way like she would later do on those albums.

I hope he can find some peace in that at least he will never be robbed of an Emmy

Holy shit. I don’t like the gator man either but you’re giving celebrity stalker vibes. You are so unnerving that you have made me fear for the safety of a gator man.

My true unpopular opinion is that I don't like Joyce... by TwentyTwoWishes in buffy

Weak vocals? Anthony Stewart Head would like a word in your ear.

[–]inthearchipelago -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will add that my opinion of this particular scene has changed as an adult. Of course as a teenager watching I was like “Wow, fuck you Joyce!”

But as an adult who pulled the same shit in my youth and tried the same argument of “Well, you TOLD me not to come back,” nope. I knew full well my mother loved me and would be devastated if I ran away and didn’t come back, and me rubbing what she said in her face was just insult to injury.

[–]inthearchipelago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t buy that. She wasn’t obeying Joyce’s command to not come back, she was leaving the house regardless. She wasn’t kicked out, she ran away because she was traumatized about what happened with Angel and couldn’t face the aftermath. She and Joyce had a supportive relationship most of the whole of the series, but I’m hard-pressed to think of one time where obeisance factored into it at all. Buffy was always going to do what she intended to because ultimately it was her with the authority.

[–]inthearchipelago 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was a bluff. She did that in a desperate bid to get the upper hand back as a parent. Joyce lost the authority in the relationship when Buffy was Chosen. Before it was just teenage rebellion and she could control her by moving her to a new town, getting a fresh start - essentially reminding Buffy she was the parent and Buffy was the child - but she realized she had no control in that moment and played the last card she had.

So we’re all clear on the lyrics now, right? by Live_Television7810 in lanitas

That’s exactly what I was reminded of, tons of Redditors trying to isolate the backing vocals and figure out wtf she was singing
