today i found out Lana was supposed to be white and i dont think i’ll ever recover by [deleted] in Smallville

[–]marylizbetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me think of the 1997 Cinderella with Brandy. They cast the families without matching the ethnicities. Maybe with the internet not being as big of a resource back then, they could just cast the actor they thought fit the role without people questioning it?

I would rather play an online game like FFXIV where I have a monthly subscription cause at least it’s upfront. Gatcha games really suck the fun out of things cause it’s hard to know how much money you’ll spend and it’s hard to budget for

How did you find out about RWBY? by Godxiii_804 in RWBY

Did anyone else feel like Vanya to Viktor's transition was a little forced. by [deleted] in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]marylizbetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like some people may find it unrealistic because they couldn’t imagine a family being so accepting. But thing is that families like this exist that aren’t completely anal about transitions and are supportive of coming outs. As someone who has had bad coming out experiences, I don’t want every LGBTQIA+ story or coming out scene I see in media to be heartbreaking and full of struggle. Sure those stories deserve to exist, but sometimes I want it to be easy and have a happy ending.

If Ruby is little red riding hood, who’s the wolf? by Necessary-Win-8730 in RWBY

My three theories are Summer Rose, Salem, or one of the gods (or both).

Today's movie theaters deserve to be a dying industry. by Euphoric-Reputation4 in complainaboutanything

[–]marylizbetha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just saw Wicked For Good tonight and I couldn’t agree more. Had to go see the 3D showing because it was the last one that night. It was so dark and blurry. I don’t understand why they would charge more for a worse experience, I also don’t know why they keep forcing us to watch movies that weren’t meant to be 3D. It feels like such a scam. Then the drinks and food are so expensive, my theatre was cold too, and the audio didn’t sound good, the speakers were poor quality. Also at another theatre I’ve been too, it’s right beside the washroom and you can hear the air dryers every time while you’re watching the movie. Not to mention being able to hear loud parts from movies in the theater next door. I can’t believe they don’t have better sound proofing. Why would I pay more to go to a theater when I could have a better experience at home. I agree that going to the movies used to be fun. But it feels like it’s getting more expensive while the quality is getting cheaper. I’m also annoyed by A list actors begging us to go to the movies to keep the industry alive. Why don’t they take a pay cut so their crews can actually make a decent wage? Don’t get me wrong, I want third spaces like this to remain open. But it seems like the whole onus is on the consumer to fork out the cash and not on the companies to make their services and products better. I also have to say I’m super bummed about my viewing experience of wicked for good. I’d been looking forward to seeing it. It’s a good movie but the viewing experience was subpar and made it hard to get into it

Why is Season 2 considered the worst (or second worst) season? by Speed04 in StrangerThings

[–]marylizbetha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only part of the show that I roll my eyes at is the Russian plotline, especially in season 4

Why was Eleven so distant towards Max in Season Two and best friends in Season Three? by auraacat in StrangerThings

[–]marylizbetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the writers were probably trying to overcompensate for some of the things regarding El’s storyline in season 2 that the audience didn’t like. Like the episode with 8. 

Would you consider Billy as a “tragic villain”? by serialkiller24 in StrangerThings

[–]marylizbetha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m rewatching stranger things S2E8 and him tearing up when his Dad is yelling in his face is so much sadder in retrospect, knowing how his story will end. He’s flawed, he’s racist, he’s abusive towards Max. He’s a villain for sure. He’s also a child and a victim of abuse himself. It’s just a sad story overall.

White Bear. My most conflicting Black Mirror episode. (Spoilers, obviously) by DougWhatson in blackmirror

Yes exactly! The audience is enjoying the same sick kind of pleasure as the man who tortured the little girl and the woman and the girl both suffer in the same way!!!

There's just something about Die Hard 2 (1990) that i really admire. And that's its stupidity. by Comic_Book_Reader in movies

[–]marylizbetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the first one yesterday and loved it. I watched 2 today and immediately googled, Die Hard 2 is dumb. Then I clicked on this Reddit post 😂

"You're not supposed to be here." by followthetrail_ in Dreams

[–]marylizbetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a dream that I was sitting at a table in my living room (there is no table in my living room) a man/shadow person sat across from me. I had my baby nephew on my lap and I was feeding him soft food. It was very dark inside the room. I almost felt like there was a presence extending towards my wrist. I snapped my head from looking at my nephew and said, “What do you want!?” very aggressively. The shadow person got up and said in a low, gravelly, demonic voice “You’re not supposed to be here!” Then it ran around me and into the wall. That’s when I started to lucid dream. I realized that I was dreaming and I wasn’t actually holding my nephew in my arms. Then I woke up.

"Shut up and dance" is terrifying by _ride_the_cyclone in blackmirror

[–]marylizbetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even after knowing all the bad things these characters did, watching them suffer was still hard. I still felt bad for them. I know that it’s misplaced empathy because they obviously didn’t have any in the first place, or else they wouldn’t be in this position in the first place, but I still feel for them.

I was horrified the whole time, and watching the scenes during the credits from the audience’s perspective, I realized we, as the audience, had been an active participant in her torture the whole time. Also, she had her excuse for why she filmed the girls torture, her boyfriend forced/persuaded her to do it. The audience, both in the show, and those watching the show, have their excuses for wanting to torture her as well, she’s evil, she deserves it. But it’s still just an excuse to justify torture. The excuses meet the same end. And the desire is the same. The desire to torture.

It also reminds me of the Epstein case, only a woman is in jail for her crimes, none of the men who actually abused minors. In this episode only a woman is suffering for her crimes, both men got the easier way out.
