Probably tried to do some subtle programming which failed. Lol.

See as they dressed her up exactly like Lisa.

Honestly wouldn't rule this out. Big media rolled out one of the craziest propaganda campaigns I've seen in awhile for her

2 days to go. One of the best aspects of Arcane is its music, which is not surprising if you've come across League of Legends media a few times.
The old joke that Riot Studios is a music company masquerading as a video game company doesn't even really feel like a joke these days cos Riot has really grown their in-house music portfolio to crazy levels.

Arcane: Season I had an absolutely magnificent OST album. The score encompassed multiple genres including pop, jazz, country, hip-hop & rock. It took an already amazing story and elevated it to greater heights by accentuating the environment and moods in various scenes.
I still can't tell whether Jinx and Ekko's fight was animated with Dynasties and Dystopia in mind or vice versa. And I really don't believe the climactic scene hits as hard as it does without What Could Have Been by Sting and Ray Chen playing in the background.

From a few tracks released for promotion from the Season II soundtrack album, I have no doubts we're getting another amazing soundtrack. Whether it'll beat the Season I soundtrack still remains to be seen.

Haynnie:
Please y’all should suggest anime I can watch in a day or in a week.

I’m done with the anime on my bucket list.

- Frierén: Beyond Journey's End
- Kaiju No. 8
- Wistoria: Wand and Sword
- Too Many Loosing Heroines

3 days to go. The weapons that shook the plot of Arcane.

Looking forward to seeing Ambessa in action this new season, as well as what her weapons of choice will be.

I expected nothing less from a Bollywood actioner. They be doing OTT by default. The funny thing is that this is the first non-English media I've watched in years, all because I saw Hrithik Roshan Hrithiking. I didn't know they made a YRF Spy Universe out of Ek Tha Tiger, but now I'm gonna do catch up. It will be nice rekindling my non-English content again, I've missed out on some good Asian media.

Yep! Same reason I ended up putting Ek Tha Tiger on my watchlist. Now to actually find time to watch it is another issue entirely

cao:
Nope. It's a Bollywood film.

Ah, yes. This was quite the ride. Enjoy

Beorn:
Even though I thoroughly enjoyed Blue Eye Samurai, I agree with you that it was a basic revenge story animation. It's very interesting but not on the levels of Arcane if we are to add other ingredients like story arc, character building, incredible VFX, better plot; in short, Arcane is heads and shoulders above BES.

You'd gradually see the emotional processes most of them went to get to the point they were..

Jayce's character development still remains one of my best written aspects of the show.

But when I saw the character development of side characters like Marcus, the Enforcer (pictured below), I was left in awe. When he was introduced, you wouldn't have cared if he'd died in the first act, infact you probably wished for it. By the end of the second act, there was such nuance to his character that his death had some emotional weight to it.

A bomb that shatters the entire Gotham Overflow tunnel, you'd think will certainly get the attention of the Caped Crusader but then again Matt Reeves hinted sometime ago that we would probably not see his version of Batman again, till The Batman II in 2025, and that although the show takes place in Batman's universe but they wanted the focus to be on Oz. But i feel, a Batman appearance would have been an all timer tv moment, and they missed a huge opportunity if at the end of the last episode, he doesn't show up, at least the little premise from the final episode doesn't suggest so...

And that was IGN angst with the show and why they rated it so low. They felt The Penguin is not such an intricate character to deserve a whole show about, and a Batman appearance would have elevated the show and hidden the lack of depth of Oz.

But i say Fvck them!, Collin Farrell as Oz was one of the most memorable thing from "The Batman" (2022), and it would have been criminal not to have him reprise the role. Critics sometimes can be so up-tight for no reason, just enjoy greatness and forget about the little inadequacies ffgs. No matter how the last episode pans out, This was a GOOD SHOW! 👌🏿

I still don't fully believe Matt Reeves. They're probably trying to distract us. I see it now.

The climatic scene of the final episode. Sofia thinks she has Oz cornered but then he looks to the east, to see Victor arrive with the gang bosses. Oz takes the lead and as he and Sofia and their forces charge at each other. Just before they clash, a dark figure swoops down between them. It's The Dark Knight. He throws out his arms towards both parties. They stop in their tracks, all attention on him. Batman reaches into his toolbelt and pulls out... A can of Pepsi.

It is o

AnimePahe_Boushoku_no_Berserk_-_01_360p_SubsPlease.mp4

It's not. This is not the Berserk we know. But I now know the Beserk you're talking about and it makes sense now

samistry:

Just like The American Dragon, once I get up, we go again 💪🏿

4 days to go and today, I'll like to revisit the architecture and environment design of Arcane.

The contrasts between Piltover and The Undercity. Even when Piltover is shown during the night, you still can't mistake it for The Undercity with the clear differences in their aesthetics.

NobleStag007:
Being weak. Trampled upon. Got powers accidentally. Leveling up. Hiding the power.. leveling up coming at cost..

Typically same thing

Not sure it's the same Berserk we know that you're talking about here

pu7pl3:
Kaycee7 I couldn't sit through Hamilton bro I'm sorry.

I appreciate the fact that you gave it a chance

5 days to go and, today, I want to appreciate the amazing cast that help to bring these characters to life, giving voice to their actions and emotions.

The performances that stood out mostly to me from Arcane: Season I were Jason Spisak as Silco, Toks Olagundoye as Mel Medarda, Ella Purnell as Jinx and Reed Shannon as Ekko

pu7pl3:
They should treat it delicately.
Leave it vague. It shouldn't be like they are leaning to one side or the other.

Word! They should do their best at an unbiased telling of the events.

Happy Sunday, Children of God. Went to church, thanked the Lord for the gift of Arcane: Season I and praised Him for keeping me alive and healthy to see Season II.

6 days to go till Peak airs

toluxe0075:
Michael Jackson movie will do wonders with appropriate marketing. As long as they concentrate on his rise to stardom and avoid dwelling on the controversial part of his life that would push away his fans, billions is certain.

Theu can't avoid the controversial part of his life. It's a significant event. If they avoid it, it'll draw massive criticism.

cao:
War.

Jet Li and Statham?

A week to Peak airing, a throwback to this masterpiece of a scene from Arcane: Season I

Looking forward to getting a scene that matches or surpasses it in Season II

Ahem! November greetings to you, my friends and fellow enjoyers of the visual arts. It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the month of PEAK.

Join us as we close the chapter on one of the best written stories in the history of the literary and visual arts. There will be action, there will be romance, there will be drama, even a bit of comedy here and there. There will be excitement, suspense, pain, grief and ecstasy. The music will be glorious.

At the end of the day, there will be something to take away for everyone.

So, without further ado, let the countdown to Arcane: Season II begin

mablie:
Mary Poppins!The Sound of Music!
I love those films.
I don't know man...this whole anime thing(the shows,their creators,the fandom)gives me the creeps

LoL! Yeah, we can definitely be a bit much but there's quite a number of mainstream anime shows that even non-anime fans can enjoy. Lemme know if you're ever interested

GloriousGbola:
I wouldn't call sister act a musical though

I will join the pile on anime watchers are weird Asian fetishists because anime features Asian bodies that do not exist. Thicc Asians with humongous bosoms?

How can you ignore the musical of our childhood the sound of music and Mary Poppins yall!

And all those Indian oldies - karate, number 10 etal

I get why you'd feel Sister Act isn't really a musical. They don't break into musical numbers in the manner that traditional musicals do but music is still its central theme so it definitely fits within the genre.

Is it really a Bollywood movie if there's no music?

Illusioneffect:
The only musicals that actually made sense no pass 4 -
La la land
The sound of music
Mamma mia
Singin' in the Rain.
And that's because they actually had great songs

The Sound of Music and Singin' in the Rain are certified classics for a reason.
I've never been able to get on the La La Land train. Didn't really connect with the story or the music. Which is funny because a friend of mine that collected the movie from me and his brother who aren't really fans of musicals ended up loving it.

mablie:
Lol!
I really enjoy musicals too and I am neither of the stereotypes in the post you quoted.Some of my favourites are;
1.Hello,Dolly--1969
2.Annie--1982
3.Little Shop of Horrors--1986
4.Sister Act--1992
5.Moulin Rouge--2001
6.O Brother Where Art Thou?--2000
7.Chicago--2002
8.Walk the Line--2005
9.Mamma Mia--2008
10.In the Heights--2021
11.Westside Story--2021

Only one I've solidly watched here is Sister Act. I've never been able to watch Mamma Mia from start to finish. I must either be interrupted or not start from beginning.
In the Heights is on my watchlist.

My best musical used to be The Sound of Music but ever since 2014, when i watched Les Miserables (2012), I've never been able to decide which one is No. 1

pu7pl3:
Okay, what year?

2020

pu7pl3:
Musicals are too cheesy and corny.
I feel my estrogen levels rising when I'm trying to sit through any musical in a movie

Watch Hamilton

abduleez1:
Lol.

But come to think of it, why do people hate musicals??

People love to sleep on greatness

I'll give them one thing. They made a very hype trailer here. The Daredevil snippet, especially, is getting me hyped. Still not really sold on Ironheart. Looks like it'll be mid at best.

Netflix reveals plan for their films going forward: Make better movies.

Their reported goals:

• Make 25-30 movies a year
• Prioritize certain genres
• Stop overspending just to be in business with big stars
• Use original ideas for most of their films
• Keep budgets under $100M

Based on the below graphic, you can see their most popular films lagged behind other studios, especially with fans 📺

via Culture Crave

35% will be trash. 50% will be mid and then we'll get some gems from the remaining 15%. No be Gbaflix again
