I really don’t like the direction that they appear to be going in with Carisi

I watched the Season 28 premiere yesterday and I really didn’t like the tension and drama between Olivia and Carisi. Yeah, what Olivia did was bad and illegal. But it at least helped them win the case. So I feel like Carisi shouldn’t have been as angry as he was. Especially since Liv has done far worse things in the past.

From the vibe I got, it seems like they’re setting up some big storyline where there’s gonna be either a fallout or some kind of conflict between Olivia and Carisi. I really hope they don’t end up doing that. Olivia and Carisi have worked together for over a decade by this point and are really close. Having a falling out between their characters is just a terrible idea.

Nope, Michael’s not stupid enough to get the numbers mixed up

I’m sorry. I’ve never understood the joke here. Was Michael not paying attention and zoned out when David Wallace said how much the dummy cost? How did he get the 3 and 5 flipped? He should’ve said “Three thousand five hundred dollars for a dummy?” It honestly feels like Steve Carrell accidentally messed up his line and they were just too lazy to do another take.

Nobody even think about trying to use the excuse “He’s an idiot”. This episode is from Season 5. By this point, Michael was no longer the show’s idiot character. Paul Liberstein had instead decided to give that role to Kevin.

My version of iParty With Victorious

Awhile ago, I said I was writing a script for an alternate version of iParty With Victorious that would feature more interactions between the cast of both shows and a more natural plot for how the 2 shows come together. Well, the script was finished back in June in preparation for the original special's 15th anniversary. While I initially shared it here on Reddit, I took it down because some said it was too long. So I thought about shortening it. While I was able to trim it down a tad bit, there was just so much good stuff that I just couldn't get rid of. Here's the official synopsis for my version for those who don't remember. But before I do, I wanna make it clear that this plot is based off of an idea that a user named PromptAny1244 (who I don't know is still on Reddit or not) brought up in a comment on one of my older posts. I thought it was such a great concept that I decided to expand on it. 

"Still struggling after a serious breakup with her boyfriend Logan, Carly insists to Sam and Freddie that she’s completely fine, even though she’s clearly looking for something to take her mind off what happened. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Tori Vega is preparing for an upcoming job fair at Hollywood Arts and looking for someone in content creation or tech production to speak at the job fair. Her boyfriend Steven suggests inviting the iCarly crew. Carly, eager for a reason to get away from Seattle, accepts Tori’s invitation and travels to Los Angeles with Sam, Freddie, Spencer, and Gibby. After the gang arrives at Hollywood Arts and gives their job fair presentation, Carly is approached privately by Steven, who introduces himself only as a friend of Tori’s and convinces her to help him launch his own webshow later that night at a party that Andrea is throwing at Kenan Thompson's house. Unbeknownst to her, Steven is actually planning on exploiting Carly's massive online following for instant internet fame. The scheme quickly unravels when Carly and Tori catch up and realize what's going on. That night at the party, the iCarly and Victorious crews join forces, uniting to completely sabotage Steven's premiere webcast and deliver a well-deserved public takedown live on stream".  

Full disclosure, this script is 109 pages long. I know that's a lot. But there's a lot of great moments between the cast of both shows that lead to some pretty funny gags and one liners. I feel this will make up for how little interaction between both shows that we got in the original version of the special. Some of the dialogue might also be a bit corny and not as strong. But I'm an up and coming writer who is still working on improving. But anyway, I really hope you guys enjoy reading this new version of iParty With Victorious and looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hot Take: I think it was probably a smart move to not have Charles Martinet voice Mario in these movies

Before anyone comes out at me, hear me out.

I think Martinet is extremely talented as Mario and did a fantastic job as him in the games. However, I feel like hearing his Mario voice for a full feature length film would’ve eventually gotten annoying for the audience to listen to. Chris Pratt’s voice, I think, was the perfect balance between being something that the audience would he able to tolerate while, at the same time, still sounding like Mario

If Pam was really trying to help, this is what she should’ve said

It makes way more sense. I feel like she would know that just saying “You know I was engaged once..” was too vague and wouldn’t have gotten through Erin’s thick skull that she was overreacting

This was my friend’s reaction when I told him about what they did with Jumba in the live action remake

I hope the sequel that’s coming out in 2028 gives Jumba a redemption arc. Make him the Uncle Jumba we all know and love.

I still don’t get how Han is still alive

It’s funny how, in F9, there’s a whole 5 minute exposition scene dedicated to explaining how Han wasn’t dead. Yet, it still didn’t make sense.

Like, we see Han in the car. But then when Shaw walks by, he's not in the car anymore. What happened? Was that a hologram or something? It's simply said that this was one of Mr Nobody's magic tricks, which really doesn't explain much.

Honestly, it would’ve been so much easier and made way more sense if they just said that Han was able to free himself from the wreck and, when nobody was looking, quickly crawled out of the car before it blew up and then went into hiding.

Captain Marvel (2019) doesn’t deserve the hate that it gets

This is easily the most overhated MCU film.

Sure, the movie isn’t perfect. The villain is kinda bland, the explanation for how Fury lost his eye is dumb, and the 1995 setting leads to some questions and plot holes. But the fact that so many people consider this to be one of the worst (if not the worst) MCU films ever made feels like a complete exaggeration in my opinion. I wouldn’t even put it in the top 10 worst MCU films.

Once you look past the issues that I just mentioned, the movie is actually decent. It’s got fun moments, the relationship between Carol and Nick Fury is very interesting and they have very strong chemistry, the cast is good, the action scenes and CGI were well done, Goose is a major highlight, and, most importantly, the movie is entertaining.

Part of me wonders if people hate this movie simply because they’re still pissed about some comments that Brie Larson made during the press tour leading up to film’s release.

The Green screen in this scene is absolutely abysmal

The show made the network boatloads of money. Yet, they somehow couldn’t afford to go to shoot on a real boat?

Something that I think would’ve been funny at the end of “The One Where Everyone Finds Out”

After Joey says that everyone now knows about Chandler and Monica, Monica reminds everyone that Ross still doesn’t know. Chandler then asks everyone to not tell him yet. When he says this, Joey has this annoyed and frustrated look on his face.

I don’t know why. But I think it would’ve been funny if, after Chandler says that, Joey started walking out of the apartment and saying “Oh Ross!!!”, implying that he was gonna go tell Ross about Monica and Chandler. Chandler would then immediately start running after him. I don’t know why I keep picturing that in my head. I feel like it would’ve been hilarious.

Anyone remember when Disney decided to attach “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” to Coco in theaters?

I'm sure a lot of you probably remember when this special came out and all the criticism it received for how it was released.

For those who's don't know/remember, "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" was a tv special that was originally supposed to premiere on ABC during the Holidays back in 2017. But in June 2017, they announced that the special would instead be released to theaters attached to Pixar's Coco, which was opening on November 22nd that year.

I still think that this was one of the dumbest decisions that Disney ever made and it's obvious that they didn't think it through. I knew this decision was gonna be a disaster when it was announced and my prediction ended up being correct. When Coco came out, they received a lot of complaints over the inclusion of "Olaf's Frozen Adventure." Because they didn't make it clear that it was a 22 minute tv special, a lot of people who who went to go see Coco had thought that they accidentally walked into the wrong theater. There were so many complaints and criticism that Disney ended up removing the special from screenings of Coco a little more than a week after the film's release.

Ralph Breaks The Internet is my least favorite Disney film ever (Rant)

I recently rewatched the film a few days ago as part of a Disney animated movie rewatch marathon that I’ve been doing over the last month. This movie is still just as terrible as I remember it being. It is easily my least favorite film from the Disney company.

It is one of the most disrespectful sequels that I've ever seen. I don't get it. Even though Rich Moore came back to direct as well as the rest of the entire team that worked on the first film, this movie feels like it was made by people who never saw the first film and only read the Wikipedia synopsis of it. It's safe to say that this movie is not actually a sequel. It is a commercial for Disney to show off everything they owned as well as shoving product placements in your face.

There's so many things wrong with this movie that I can't even figure out where to start. I guess we should start with the film's title. Why is this film not called "Ralph WRECKS The Internet"? Seriously, they had the perfect title right there and they couldn't even get that right.

The writing for the characters is terrible. Oh my god, what the fuck did they do to Ralph? I swear, this is NOT the same Ralph from the first film. I know this aspect has been brought up repeatedly, but it needs to be brought up again. For most of the film, Ralph is incredibly insecure in the worst ways. He keeps clinging to Vanellope and wants nothing to happen to their friendship so much to the point where it honestly comes off as creepy. Worst of all, for nearly the entire film, he comes off as this whiny man baby and appears to have the mental capacity of a 5 year old. That is NOT who Ralph's character was at all in the first film. His decision in the 3rd act makes him come off as so frustratingly stupid. After seeing that Vanellope wants to stay in Slaughter Race, Ralph is in so much denial that he ultimately says that she's been brainwashed and has to do something about it so she'll leave. He then decides to unleash a glitch into the game so it'll "make it boring" so she'll want to leave and compeltely ignores the red flags. It's not until after he unleashes it that he remembers that Vanellope's glitch will causes major issues and could very likely get her killed. Seriously, Ralph in the first film would've NEVER even considered doing something like this.

Vanellope is even worse. Now, I’ve never been a fan of her to better with. However, I was able to tolerate her in the first film because there were some moments that really humanized her. But she's an insufferable little shit in this film. Vanellope's character in this film makes this movie feel like a first draft because of how inconsistent it is. So she starts off the movie being bored with her life in Sugar Rush and wants something new to happen. But then, once Sugar Rush gets unplugged, she's now suddenly very sad about Sugar Rush being gone. She and Ralph then head to the internet to buy a new steering wheel for the game so it can be plugged back in. However, once they finally get the wheel, Vanellope suddenly doesn't want to go back and decides that she's gonna stay in Slaughter Race, without even telling Ralph immediately. Was there not a single person in the writers room who noticed how inconsistent this was and comment on it?

Like I said earlier, this movie is a giant commercial. Yet, despite coming out less than 8 years ago, it already feels extremely dated. I mean, there's even a cameo from Colleen Ballinger. Yikes. The Oh My Disney (a website that no longer exists mind you) is honestly cringy to watch because it feels like Disney is shoving everything they own in our faces and bragging about it. The scene with the Princesses is sort of okay. But it wasn’t anything too surprising considering that scene was in every single trailer. Also, the “Big Strong Man” line that Rapunzel says really annoyed me. Not because I’m a sexist person or anything like that. But it’s for different reasons. For starters, Rapunzel is the last character that should be saying that line considering that all of her problems were solved by a man. She would’ve continued being stuck in the tower if Flynn Ryder hadn’t shown up. So she is not one to talk. Then there’s the fact that the line feels so forced and in your face. It’s like Disney is so ashamed of/embarrassed by how their female characters were written and portrayed in their older films, which are still beloved to this day mind you, and wrote this line as some kind of damage control to say “Oh yeah, we’re not like that anymore.”

This movie doesn't understand a single thing about how the internet works at all. Throughout the movie, Ralph makes these viral videos and he’s some how able to make money simply from the amount of liked and views they get, I’m sorry, even a 5 year old could tell you that’s not how internet monetization works at all. Not even close.

The ending is probably the biggest complaint that people have about this film and for good reason. It completely destroys the message and what was said about the first film. In the first film, it is made clear several times that going Turbo is absolutely forbidden and that nobody should even consider doing it. Yet, at the end of this film, Vanellope goes Turbo and the movie treats it as this good thing that the audience should be happy about. Turbo is never once brought up in this movie, which makes zero sense. The only explanation I can think of for why this decision was made was because they didn't want the ending of the movie to feel predictable by having Ralph and Vanellope returning to their respctive games and everything going back to normal. I could somewhat understand that perspective. The issue is that, by doing this, they completely went against everything that was established in the first film. Not to mention that there's so many issues with Vanellope's decision to stay behind in Slaughter Race. Vanellope would be screwed if she dies inside Slaughter Race, because it's a game that's not her own and it's been established that if one dies outside their own game, they don't regenerate at all and their death will be permanent. I don't care if they recoded her program, that line was used offhandedly, and it ignores the fact that Turbo's program was also recoded, and he still died permanently due to dying inside a game that wasn't his own.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually do an episode based off of the Mackenzie Schirilla case

Now, I know that technically wouldn’t make sense because that was a murder case and didn’t involve any sexual offenses. But the show has taken real life stories that weren’t sex or assault cases and found a way to make them into SVU episode cases.

I can just picture the episode. A teenage girl’s car crashes into a building, kill 2 passengers while she survives and is taken to the hospital. During the investigation, the detectives figure out that she crashed the car on purpose. When Olivia interrogates the girl, she’d most likely reveal that either one of or both of the passengers raped her and she wanted revenge or something. Olivia (being the saint that she is) will probably then do a complete 180 and have sympathy for the girl, leading to her trying to convince Carisi that she should get a lighter prison sentence.

Is it just me or can anyone else totally picture an episode like that?

What I wished Phoebe had said

This is a pet peeve of mine. I can’t stand when movies and shows have scenes/jokes like this where a character misunderstands something and nobody bothers to correct them despite having plenty of opportunities to. Like, are the other characters too lazy to do something as simple as moving their lips?

My take on the “21st Year” line in Beauty and The Beast

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.
