A dystopia that actually has COLOR? And characters that look like they’ll have actual bonds with each other, giving you something to root for? Sign me the fuck up.
Okay, but this totally undersells it. It’s goofy as hell, absolutely fun, and will explode your heart with Found Family Feels.
Key highlights not mentioned above:
The “adorable robot?” She’s trans, and saving up for modifications. (Warning for casual misgendering a few times, but when they focus on it it’s so sweet and validating omg?)
SO GODDAMN MUCH FOUND FAMILY
A little girl who will melt your heart and then reconstruct it because she wants you to be safe.
You will want Captain Jang to step on you at precisely 1:06:11 (-1:10:56).
The villain is an Elon Musk type who is so unhesitatingly evil that it gives him monstrous special effects.
Seriously it’s so good go watch it
It is free of romance, and the found family DELIVERS up to the end, unlike so many movies. Also the robot gets the body she wanted and she considered changing her voice and the kid told her she liked the voice she already had bc it was hers
She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense). I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen. Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs
or for full on fight sequences
or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.
this bitch hooked me up.
And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like
or this
or this
DUDE! INASNE SHIT!! So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash. Lemme dole it out for her. BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!! This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.
I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock. You’re worth it.
I have been following her for years on deviantart.
Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.
This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)
Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support! I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon. If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!
Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.
rb to save an artists life
Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.
It took me 3 watches to realize the door is cardboard and this man is not just freakishly strong.
I assure you this is a standard interior door, usually only exterior doors are solid.
You can see the inside of the cardboard though.
This isn’t a real door, it’s a prop from a movie or TV set.
it has a paper honeycomb for rigidity, and that’s how interior doors are made for modern construction in the USA.
y'all have never kicked a hole in your bedroom door in a flurry of teenage hormonal rage and it shows
If I kicked my bedroom door I’d more likely break my foot than the door.
I always thought people punching through doors or shoving people through doors was just from the movies. Doors in my country are generally solid planks of wood, a polymer of sorts, or metal.
American homes are made extremely cheaply and aren’t built to last.
Steam from hot showers seeps into wall which are not treated to handle moisture, and mold grows in the walls.
Almost every wall or floor is made out of plywood.
Flimsy roofing that can withstand a run of the mill heavy storm, but not much more than that.
Weak foundations that wouldn’t hold up at all if it weren’t for how light and plywood-y the overall house is.
Not every American house is this shitty in all of these ways, but the vast majority of them are, and almost all of them have at least one of these problems. Even rich people’s homes.
folks on twitter have already pointed out that Cruella is perhaps the worst possible choice for a protagonist seeing as how her entire motivation is ‘wants to murder puppies for money’ and there’s just. no way to spin that.
Maleficent worked, okay, she worked because she was a pretty mysterious character to begin with; her goals and motivations in Sleeping Beauty were vague enough that there was room for character exploration. but Cruella?
the reason Cruella was such a fantastic and fantastically funny villain was just how BASIC she was.
here’s Cruella: she designs clothes, she thinks a puppy-skin coat would look cool, she kidnaps a bunch of puppies because she’s rich and spoiled and used to getting her way. that’s it. that’s all there is to her. that’s all there needed to be, because a. her voice actress was god-tier b. her design and animation was flawless c. the story was pretty simple and didn’t need a villain with complex motivations and d. she shared the villainous spotlight with Jasper and Horace (who i might actually be interested in seeing a movie about tbh, just because ‘a weird old rich lady hired us to steal dogs from another rich lady and her husband and now the dogs are fighting back why is this happening where did my life go wrong’ is a fucking hilarious premise)
my point is WHY NOT URSULA
SERIOUSLY. URSULA.
there’s SO MUCH you could do with Ursula. not only does she have all the charisma and visual flare that Cruella does, her motivations, like Maleficent’s, were always a touch unclear.
she fucking hates the king of the sea and it’s never really explained why. she fucks around with two monarchies seemingly for the lols. she can do magic but she lives alone in a cave with only her prisoners and her two eels for company AND she actually loves her eels and is legit sad when they die. she’s weird and mysterious and sneaky and badass and there’s just. so many cool paces you could go with her! does she have a reason to hate the king? why is she the only octopus person we see? why do people still make deals with her given that she’s made a horrifying living garden out of those who couldn’t pay up? she turned herself into a human so she’s a shapeshifter, holy fuck, is that something she’s done before?
ursula movie pls (but like. someone other than disney make it)
Like they would ever make a fat woman a sympathetic protagonist. Not without slimming her down.
Ursula or the puppy theives would be my favs for a recontextualisation.
If it’s blurry, open in new tab lmfao. sorry. My internet is the cringiest.
So hear me out. This is like a funny What if for the School trip arc(file 1000+) The girls snuck into the room to check on Shinichi to see if he’s doing okay but had to hide from the teachers and just happened to hide under the same bed where Shinichi(as Conan) is hiding. CB
so many critics said he over-acted. that this movie didn’t deserve tom hardy’s level of acting. but in reality, maybe if more bad movies had people like tom going balls to the wall, they wouldn’t be bad movies
i didn’t watch venom for a GOOD movie i watched venom for a FUN movie, and it absolutely delivered on that.
i think it’s fine he was the only one who went ham, eddie brock didn’t know shit and he didn’t ask for this. everyone else didn’t know about the aliens and didn’t interact with them, or interacted with them on purpose after already being made aware. he just got a surprise alien
It’s the same reason Jaskier works so well: Joey Batey specifically said he acted like he was in a comedy while everyone else was in a period drama.
this is such a hot take, i want more examples
Raoul Julia had a lot of fun as M. Bison in the Street Fighter movie. When it was over he was genuinely surprised to learn that it was not, in fact, intended to be a comedy. (“Then why did they cast ME?”)
Michael Caine told the director of Muppet Christmas Carol that he wasn’t going to acknowledge the muppetness, and as far as he was concerned he was in a Royal Shakespeare Theatre Production. The director said “Yes, that’s why we cast you.”
