BlackManta:
This is really the quickest fall from grace I have ever seen in the entertainment industry

as usual, when one person accuses, others (mostly attention seekers) come in from nowhere...

Someone needs to arrest Isayama for the crime of too many parallels

Just saw this one on Twitter...crazy

Another S1 and S4 parallel

Eren Yeager is definitely one of the best written and most complex characters in fiction...

Love how he ended up doing everything he condemned

Kaycee7:
Honestly, it's a fair question

it was a perfect hiding place to fvck tbh...

And it seems like it's only a matter of time that they do...

Some people's media literacy is really poor...

There's a very controversial AOT YouTube reactor channel...they just finished season 3 and accused the entire show of being a pro-nazi propaganda...
Apparently a show using Nazi parallels to preach anti-war and anti-racism message is now a pro-nazi propaganda

It's just like saying All Quiet on the Western front is a pro-war movie cos it depicts war....wtf

How do you properly pass a message against war or racism without showing it?

I honestly don't understand some people

GRIMMJOE:
The Zaheer problem is a reoccurring problem in Avatar villains, they don't struggle. Let me ask.

- What did Fire lord ozai struggle with
- What did Kuvira struggle with
- What did Zaheer struggle with

The answer is nothing, you'll have to think hard to come up with something.

What makes a character interesting is struggle, that's why Toph is a fan favorite, we all know what she struggled with and still become a great earth bender.

A boring villain is character the author don't want to struggle, so they don't look weak. Authors need to be learn from Joker.

I generally don't like Villains who are bad for the sake of being bad...it's cartoon definition of black and white...

Although I understand some people are just focused on power and authority...but I find those kind of villains boring

Fire Lord Ozai was a terribly boring villain. I expected more from Zaheer but unfortunately he was disappointing...
The ideals he was talking about made no sense and the story did nothing to critique it...


Also, I generally don't see humans as being that One-dimensional
Even an evil person, in his own mind he is justified...

If you take real world example...most of the world sees Russia as being the villains, but to them, they are justified in their war against Ukraine


What made Thanos a compelling villain was how well you could understand his side of things even if you don't agree with his cruel solution

Sorry to bring in AOT, but this is one of the reasons I love the show so much...it's hard to pick who is really the villain, because most of the characters have their own personal justification for their actions...they have reasons, they have arguments in their favour...
That's why the fanbase is so divided on who the good or bad guys are...because you can understand why characters do even bad things, whether or not you support them...

camri:
So you couldn't hesitate to drop a review. Why the rush?

why exactly should I wait?

Not like I gave story spoilers in my review

The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die....7/10


It was a mostly good movie...
The story itself was basic just like the series...it was based on real history I believe...
Not much can be expected of themes or character depth...

However the budget issue was so obvious... especially when it came to battles...

For a movie that wasn't expected to offer much aside it's battles, they were quite lackluster...they seemed to even have lower production value than what we got in the TV series...

There was barely any tension, barely any threat in battles...

Large scale battles felt like small scuffles... despite the story telling us it was such a large and great battle etc...
It felt like each side barely had 200 men...

I believe there is technology to graphically multiply the number of troops...
It's kind of hard to take the threat seriously when it looks like 2 small gangs fighting...

There is also the issue of plot points being rushed...Uthred was outlawed for like what? 2 minutes?
But we're supposed to feel sorry for him, his suffering etc when we only saw him suffer for less than a minute?

Lana1:
Keep up? Korra was poisoned and the only thing keeping her alive was the avatar state.
She never had a fair chance to face the red lotus on equal terms that entire season

Korra isn't that good...

But the poison sef...was weak af...
What kinda useless poison does nothing for the most time and was so easily removed?

Even Azula almost killed Aang in Avatar state without any nonsense poison

Lana1:
Avatar Kiyoshi without makeup. Looks like she could be Kuvira's ancestor.

I dont know how studios have refused to pick up The Avatar. There's a universe of content they can easily ecploit there

considering the drop in quality in Korra...well...
It's not as easy as you think

Prisons in most Superhero worlds or supernatural worlds in fiction are funny...

After watching My Hero Academia S6 and Korra S3...
You wonder how useless these prisons are...

A prison to hold extremely powerful individuals and it's so easy to break out of...
At the very least there should be a system in place to immediately execute these prisoners on any escape attempt either from outside or inside...

In Korra, you have powerful benders in barely defended prisons...the prisons are only protected against the element these prisoners use...but are useless against outside attacks by accomplices using other elements...to the point that even a single top tier bender can easily beat the few guards and break his people out of the prison...what a joke

In MHA, the prison with the most powerful villains with extremely powerful querks is sitting on an Island that is public knowledge...with only 2 average heroes guarding it and helicopters and machine guns that are useless against supernatural villains...

Or what of the Prisons in Gotham that are so useless that Joker can as well be walking in and out of them at his comfort

Lana1:
I would hardly classify Zaheer as powerful. Dude could hardly fight and wasn't exactly skilled at bending. Someone Tenzin wiped the floor with.
The only impressive thing about him was he could fly.

he became pretty powerful at the end...
When he could fly...he was able to keep up with Korra in Avatar state

And he had a pretty effective team...

GRIMMJOE:
I don't know why you like to cap.

This person does not exist, it was created by an AI can you tell the difference between this image and a real human being.

I did mention this...didn't I?

About AI generating full images of people...
I've seen some sef, sèxy looking images...

You can't really tell at a glance but an expert can tell if he looks at them carefully...

There are some I can tell, there are some I can't tell...
I'm not an expert...I can only use the experience from what I've seen online

GRIMMJOE:
AI is slowly creeping into the movie industry, it has already replaced concept artist, these images were created by an AI, not humans.

@ Baddestguyp can you also tell the difference.

yes, sometimes we can tell the difference

I've even seen realistic AI art on tiktok and the likes...
There are some AI that can generate full realistic looking images

Legend of Korra season 3.....6.5/10


Quite entertaining, but mid writing
It was more of dûmb fun

I enjoyed watching this season...far far more than season 2 which was undoubtedly a very terrible and boring season...
However the writing as usual was leagues below what we got in ATLA...
So many times I shook my head watching this...

Where it exceeded my expectations however were the fights. The fights were quite spectacular...
The final battle between Korra and Zaheer is the best fight so far I've seen in the Avatar series in terms of animation
The fight choreography was great throughout the season...
The villains were powerful but mostly balanced in terms of strength...
Except the àsspull powerups like flying out of nowhere or protagonists learning powers and becoming Masters in 5 minutes


My biggest disappointment however was Zaheer...I heard so many great things about him...
I could not wait to hear his motivations...and see his backstory ...


However when I got his motivations through his conversation with Korra...I was disappointed

Order through chaos...freedom...eliminating corrupt governments...
It felt more like theory and words thrown around without depth...
We got no backstory to know why Zaheer was so emotionally invested in it...or why his followers were too...

Then maybe brainwashing by the Red Lotus? But there is nothing to show any emotional connection that led to this brainwashing...

There was also no convincing argument by Zaheer or his followers to make the audience see his side of things or why they chose to follow that path...

To create a compelling villain, you need to see his arguments, understand his goals even though you can admit his path to it is wrong


Zaheer was all talk but no substance in his ideals...
What exactly does his order through chaos achieve...
Even if he eliminates formal governments, all it leads to is more informal governments...which will lead to formal governments again in the future

Just like how he is the leader of his group, different leaders will emerge and form their own territories...and within years, those territories will become nations again...
And then lead to another set of Authoritarian governments that are equally as corrupt or even more corrupt

I waited and waited to see the substance of Zaheer's argument but got nothing from the show...
I waited for his argument to at least be confronted but got nothing from the show


At the end, I accepted it was mere talk without substance...

Mere dûmb fun...and the only reason why he was regarded as a good villain is cos he was powerful...

Perhaps I expected too much...it's still a children's show afterall

Miracood2:
How were u able to come to a conclusion that it was written by AI?

Looks like what a real human can write to me.

I've tested CHATGPT in writing letters for different things before...so I can sometimes tell it was written by an AI...

When I started reading that text, something about the writing felt off to me...
I suspected it was written by an AI...but I wasn't 100% sure

Then I checked her tweets and saw tweets about ChatGPT...that she uses it and all ...


It's just like how there are AI detection tools...
So even if you tell an AI to write a poem like a Nigerian, it can still be detected

majesticguy:
You seem to be forgetting one important thing here, AI isn't stuck, it'd continue learn and advance and with each advancement comes perfection. It's just a matter of time and you wouldn't be able to tell which is human and which is A.I

I'm not forgetting what you're saying...

My point is that AI is not human, AI does not have human emotions...
Because of this, AI can only try to mimic...but cannot replicate it

BeanmanX:
Someone "The ghostwriter" used the AI to create a Drake and the weekends song, now the record label of the weekend is planning to ban the song, this AI is crazy. 😂😂😂

I've had chatGPT write a short story before...
It can do this...

But you're missing our point. AI can try all it wants to mimic human touch but it can never fully do it...cos it's not human.
Look at movies with masterpiece emotional impacts, movies that peer into the human mind...
Masterpiece movies that steer your mind like Inception...

An AI cannot write that...AI is bland of human emotions

Do you know you can detect an AI's writing even without an app?
I've used Ai's to write things before...so I can sometimes detect when a script was written by AI...

For example, a girl on Twitter was called out some days back, she later posted an apology letter on her Twitter.
The moment I saw that letter, I knew it was written by an AI...and not by herself

I checked her profile and sure enough, some of her old tweets shows she uses chatGPT

You can use AI to try to mimic human writing but it won't fôol a sharp eye... Because AI is devoid of emotions...but human writing has emotions


Look at the image below...I couldnt find the unedited image again cos the tweet was deleted...but you can obviously see it was written by an AI

abduleez1:
Lol, this is prime example of overthinking and hysteria. If there's an industry that's AI resistant as I know, it's the entertainment industry.
And bruh, AI hasn't shown anything in its nascent stages now to do anything that can challenge the human mind.
For most movies to be successful it must feel natural and relatable. AI don't have this capacity yet apart to formulate analytical stuff. Using it excessively will prolly make things seem robotic and take the joy of off it.

Why do you think some directors are accused of overthinking and trying to reinvent the wheel and instead cause confusion. Eg Chris Nolan, Ari Aster.

Another industry I think AI would perform woefully and be scrapped is sports. Eg Football. Those close calls, talk of bias refereeing, problems with VAR and some weird calls by referees can't be REPLACED!!

AI isn't touching the entertainment industry Sha...

Of course there is room for additional space e.g there are AI YouTubers and all that...but it cannot replace humans ..

AI can write movie scripts and tell stories no doubt but it can never touch what humans are able to produce in those areas...

An AI will never single handedly write a masterpiece movie script

Barrywhyte1:
What about "Hero" and "Perfect game"?

they're 10/10
But they aren't in my top 5 AOT episodes...
AOT has so many 10/10 episodes

Memories of the Future
From You 2000 years ago
Dawn of Humanity
Declaration of War
Two Brothers
Children of the Forest
Sole Salvation
AOT special episode 88
That Day
The Attack Titan

I could go on and on

Illusioneffect:
I haven't watched Mr Robot Sha, what's your top 10

I don't necessarily have a top 10 but I know Ozymandias cannot be in it...
I even have like 3 episodes from Mr Robot S4 in it

But I know my top 1 Sha:

AOT S4E20: "Memories of the Future"

Cypherhendrix:
Without watching breaking bad can someone enjoy this and understand?

yes

Only the Black and White scenes and the last few episodes are connected to Breaking Bad

Just saw episode 1 of Insomniacs After School...

This might be my nightime chill anime of the season

Just like how Call of the Night was

It seems there's even an upcoming live action adaptation...I might watch that too

SOZINN:
Keeping up with the Kardashians is ReAlitY 🙂

more like scripted reality
Fake af...

Why I dumped it so many years ago...
Seems it's still ongoing...
People really watch it in 2023?

pu7pl3:
I don't think you understood his statement bruh

I understood his statement...

I was stating something different...cos I was curious about whether people still watch Kardashians in 2023

MJBOLT:

"Scripted Television debut"
Keeping Up With The Kardashians come be wetin

do people actually still watch Keeping up with the Kardashians?

I mean, maybe 15 years ago...I'd understand...
But would anyone watch that in 2023?

Hell's Paradise episode 3


MAPPA gracing is with more top tier animation. Crazy how they have a dedicated hate base...

Anyway, another great episode. The Island is looking more and more creepy. The otherworldly beings on the island should be their major worries...instead the criminals are killing themselves and their Asaemon

Gabimaru is trying to convince himself that he's truly hollow...that he cares about no one...
But we can see how well he cares for his wife...and how he values her opinion

Sagiri is too strict with the rules...
I'm left wondering if him being with her will help in anyway or become more of a liability
