Probably Pixar's best scene ever

Seeing two Robots hugging and loving one another, showing more emotions than some living humans with flesh and blood, tyrants etc, the romantic dreamlike vision that robots might one day become sentient - I believe this is the reason this movie is so popular. The two of them flying in cold space, Two robots did more than what many humans fail to do in their daily life - to love one another. Many people think they love but they never really loved.

The hero unites with the divine feminine, the hero becomes the lover, the meeting with the divine goddess.

This is where the tragedy begins. Love is a task, love needs to be learned.

Wall-E gazing into Eve her blue eyes remind him the ocean surrounded by the void, meanwhile her shell lights everything around them, he trusts her while she's carrying him in her arms, Eve looking at the rusty old robot, covered with rusty dirt like the color of the continents of the earth. He was molded from earth, and to earth is their final destination, their final direction.

They're dancing – it is the dance of the divine feminine and the divine masculine, two currents that, when harmonized, create heaven on earth.

Or as Elton John puts it:

"Without love, I wouldn't believe I couldn't believe in you and I wouldn't believe in me.

Without love

I believe in love

I believe in love

I believe in love."

To a God Unknown - John Steinbeck

"I should have known,” he whispered. “I am the rain.” And yet he looked dully down the mountains of his body where the hills fell to an abyss. He felt the driving rain, and heard it whipping down, pattering on the ground. He saw his hills grow dark with moisture. Then a lancing pain shot through the heart of the world. “I am the land,” he said, “and I am the rain. The grass will grow out of me in a little while.”

And the storm thickened, and covered the world with darkness, and with the rush of waters."

I wish Teresa had just finished off Priscilla right in the spot

I wish Teresa had just finished off Priscilla. Such a peak character like Teresa could've changed so much of the course of the plot. But that's pity for you. No wonder Nietzsche hated pity SO MUCH.

If Teresa loved Clare even more than Pity and not enjoying the act of Pity so much. Priscilla literally lost control and should've been put down by the sword. Teresa killing literal human murderers and bandits is so bad, but Priscilla turning into a monster that cannot be stopped with only Teresa being for the time the one that can stop her and not doing so is such a irresponsibility.

For once why the good character that has the power to do so why can't it just destroy the villain right there, when the good character has the chance for the betterment of all? Could've been such an epic duo of Clare and Teresa working together, Clare not having the trauma and not becoming a claymore and struggling with beasts roaming within churches that Teresa had the ability to annihilate within seconds.

Why are your movies so great?

Ever since I knew the light of day and came into this world I watched your movies — your movies made me love your country, loving your mindset, finding kingship with your culture. Believing your nation is destined to be the light of this world.

DreamWorks, Disney, Pixar etc. And from an adult perspective: Gladiator, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, Saving Private Ryan, The Shining, The dark knight trilogy, etc. Why is America so great with filmmaking? The movies with the highest box office are American - Titanic, Avatar, Zootopia 2, etc.

Why are you guys so great with movies? — it's obvious that the universe bestowed this art upon you. It's your destiny.

Why can't DreamWorks make a movie about Tigress origins?

​ For the love of God, why can't DreamWorks make a movie about the origins of Tigress? From where did one of the most beloved, strong characters came from? Why there are no Tigers to be found anywhere? Why Tigress and Tai Lung are the only cats among countless pigs, goose, sheep etc? What happened to her parents? If you want to milk a franchise at least listen to the fans who want so much to know about her origins? You did Tai Lung dirty and used him as a bait to watch Kung Fu Panda 4, at least have some heart make something worthwhile and for it to have a soul. Who is she? For what purpose?

Some theorize she might be of royal origin or some far kingdom. You want to feature a strong female character. Ok, make something about Tigress.

Taiwan's birth rate will kill it

Taiwan's birth rate will kill it. Until the 1970s and economic miracle this nation used have about 7 births per family it declined fast to 2 and later 1 and a birth rate of 1 remained relatively stable for about 20 years before collapsing to a mere 0.6 currently, which means every generation will be 75% smaller since the replacement rate is about 2.1 births per family. They will collapse in about 20 years from now if it will continue, not enough people to join the military and run everything in the country. It is not South Korea that has twice the population of it's northern enemy and no giant rivals like China. No famine, war etc will make Taiwan to collapse. Everything will rot away and they will join China.
