So there’s an element of Beauty and The Beast that, for many years, people have said is a plot hole.

In the opening prologue, the narrator says that the last petal of the enchanted rose will fall on the prince's 21st year. Many people have interpreted this line as being that it meant the petal would fall on the prince's 21st birthday. During the "Be Our Guest" song, Lumiere says that the spell had been going on for 10 years. This has led to people claiming that this meant that the Prince was just 11 years old when the Enchantress turned him into a beast.

Personally, I never thought of it that way. I always thought "21st year" meant that the spell was meant to last for 21 years. Am I the only one who thought this? Even then, there's no way that the prince was 11 when the spell was broken. When Belle goes into the West Wing, she finds a painting of the Beast when he was still a prince. The prince that we see in the painting is clearly a grown man.

Before anyone says it, I know they’re obviously gonna use CGI and stuff since that’s what they used to finish his scenes in Furious 7. But here’s what I mean.

From the looks of it, it seems like the timeline of the movies have been going on in real time, if that makes any sense. At the very beginning of Fast X, it's said that the events of Fast Five happened 10 years prior. This creates a problem if they bring Brian back. Paul Walker died a little less than 13 years ago (at the age of 40). Nobody knows what he would’ve looked like if he was still alive today. So, if they bring Brian back with CGI, are they just gonna have him look exactly how we remember him and then just act like he never aged over the past decade?

So, in Fate Of The Furious, Dom finds out that he has a son that he had apparently conceived back when he and Elena were together, shortly before he found out that Letty was alive. But there’s something that doesn’t add up about the timeline in this revelation.

So Dom and Elena conceiving a child must’ve happened around the time that Brian and Mia's child, Jack, had just been born. In Furious 7, it appears that enough time had passed to the point where Jack was now in daycare, walking, and even looked a bit older. Even though it's not said, it appears that Fate Of The Furious takes place at least a year or 2 after the events of Furious 7. Yet, when Dom meets his son in that movie, the son is still a baby. This doesn't make sense. If his son had been conceived around the time that the events of Fast and Furious 6 occurred, then he should be significantly older.

It’s quite a coincidence that shortly after I rewatched this episode, Aggressively Average did a review of it.

This is probably the one episode of the show where I just don’t like Tori at all. In every other episode (except for maybe The Hambone King), she’s totally fine and tolerable. But her being jealous of Cat and Danny felt so out of character. It’s like what she says in the episode, she’s usually not the jealous type. The scene where she increases the speed of the cheese fountain, causing it to spray Cat and Danny, is something that she would’ve never even considered doing in any other episode. That feels more like something Jade would’ve done if she saw Beck dating another girl.

Now, her behavior in this episode might’ve been a little more understandable if it had said that either Danny dumped (maybe even cheated) on her or they got into a serious argument that led to them breaking up. But it’s stated several times in the episode that Tori broke up with Danny and, judging from their interactions throughout the episode, it appears that the breakup was mutual and that they ended things on good terms.

Dwight was nothing but loyal to him throughout the first few seasons and was one of the only people who seemed to genuinely like Michael and consider him a friend. Yet, Michael seemed to absolutely despise him and instead desperately tried to be associated with everyone else in the office, even though every single one of them told him straight to his face countless times that they all wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with him. Like Jesus Michael, get a clue.

Brother Bear seems to be one of the most divisive films in the Disney Animated Canon. Some people really like it and consider it an underrated gem. While others really dislike it a lot. Now, I was never the biggest fan of this movie as a kid. But a few days ago, I rewatched the film for the first time in years and I definitely enjoyed it more than I did in the past. But I’m still kinda mixed on it. So I’m gonna give my personal take on it.

I think first 20 minutes of the movie is amazing. Having a story focusing on the bond between these 3 brothers, having one of them die by sacrificing themselves, having to deal with grief, wanting revenge, etc was such a strong hook that really had me invested. But I feel like the movie goes downhill once Kenai gets turned into a bear. From there on, it mostly feels like a typical animated kids film. Sure, you could argue that this is a kids movie. But the tone does a complete 180 shift that feels so jarring.

A Youtuber named Schafrillas summed it up perfectly when he talked about the film in a video he made back in 2022 where he ranked every film in the Disney Animated Canon. He said that it felt like a completely different writing team wrote the first 20 minutes and then they handed the rest of the writing duties for the film off to a group of children. I’d have to agree. That’s EXACTLY what it feels like.

I’m gonna say it. What Michael does in this episode is one of the most out of character things he ever did in the show. In nearly every god damn episode, he makes it abundantly clear that he views everyone in the office as his friends and family. The Halloween episode is the best example of this where he doesn’t want to fire anyone because he had this whole family perception mapped out in his head and doesn’t want it to change. But in this episode, none of that matters and he’s willing to have Dwight take the blame for something he did to avoid getting fired with absolutely zero hesitation. Dwight, the same guy that has been nothing but loyal and by his side all the way through. Sure, you could make the argument that Michael was annoyed by Dwight and was more interested in being liked by everyone else in the office. But when everyone else comes to Dwight’s defense and tells Michael that making Dwight take the blame for him is wrong, Michael doesn’t give 2 shits at all. Let’s not forget that he only confesses the truth because David Wallace ended up liking the Golden Ticket idea.

What I think would’ve made this episode better is if, over the course of the runtime, Michael starts to feel a bit of guilt for planning to throw Dwight under the bus. By the time David Wallace arrives, Michael’s conscience finally gets the best of him and this leads to him confessing that it was his idea. Then Wallace would reveal that he actually loved the Golden Ticket idea. To me, that would’ve made Michael seem like less of an ass and also showed a sign that his character was growing and maturing.

Also, David Wallace kinda pissed me off in this episode. If he ended up loving the Golden Ticket idea, why did he wait until he came to Dunder Mifflin to say and sounded angry on the phone, which is what caused Michael to panic? Why didn’t he just tell Michael over the phone that he loved the Golden Ticket idea?

Does he not remember how absolutely terrified he was of Ross when he learned about him and Monica? He literally almost jumped off the balcony (and plummet to his death) because he was scared of what Ross was going to do. He should be well aware that Ross is not someone you wanna mess with.

I was rewatching The Black Cauldron (a very over hated film in my opinion) earlier today and there’s something about the film that has always bothered me. It’s the fact that the Taren’s voice inexplicably changes halfway through the film.

For the first half of the movie, Taren sounds like a typical 14 year old kid (since that’s apparently supposed to be the age of the character). But halfway through the film, when he reunites with Gurgi after escaping from Horned King’s castle with Princess Eilonwy and Fflewddur, his voice just abruptly changes (i believe it even happens in the middle of a scene) and he now suddenly sounds like a grown man for the remainder of the film and it’s never explained why. Even as a kid, I noticed this and found it weird. It takes me out of the movie every time.

Keep in mind, this wasn’t something like Arthur in The Sword In The Stone where he was voiced by 3 different actors. Taren only had one voice actor, that being Grant Bardsley. Now, I know Black Cauldron had an extremely troubled production that ended up last several years. So the only explanation for this issue I can think of is that the voice recording process took so long that Grant hit puberty halfway through and they didn’t have time or money to either recast the role or have him go back and re-record his earlier lines to keep continuity.

Throughout the entire film, I was trying to give Bear the benefit of the doubt. But the scene where he calls the number on the One Wish Willow box really cemented what a worthless piece of shit he is.

At this point in the film, things are getting completely out of hand and Nikki is doing some pretty horrifying stuff. Yet, when Bear calls the number, his first request is to simply alter the wish. Not cancel it and give Nikki her freedom back. That moment right there made him irredeemable to me. Shows how entitled he feels and how he doesn’t actually care about Nikki’s well being.

After everything that had happened up to that point, I feel like even the most abusive and controlling men on the planet would’ve been like “I can’t take this anymore. Undo the damn wish.”
