A lot of people are against the term "Middle East" because it was coined by colonizers and the name doesn't make much sense, so some prefer the term SWANA, which means South West Asia/North Africa.
As some of you may know, T Rex lived closer to humans than to Stegosaurus. The fact that the last period of the Mesozoic is 14 million years longer than the era we currently live in shows how long dinosaurs had been around on this Earth.
Furthermore, if you compare the start of the Cenozoic Era to the Mesozoic, we'd be currently living in the early Jurassic Period.
When I saw this iconic scene for the first time in Princess Mononoke, I laughed it off because of how out of place it felt and how San went from being cold hearted to immediately flustered.
But after rewatching the film, Ashitaka’s compliment took on a whole new meaning. Throughout the film, the animals hate San because she’s a human and the humans hate San because she’s an animal.
This caused San to isolate herself from others. Even her wolf mother Moro called her poor and ugly during Moro’s conversation with San. In other words, San truly hates herself because of her isolation and how she’s the same kind as the humans who bring destruction on her home.
So when Ashitaka calls her beautiful, he’s not catcalling her, he’s being genuine and San isn’t flustered, she’s shocked because it’s the first time someone ever complimented her appearance.
In a lot of horror series such as Spawn, The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, and Welcome to Derry, all of them have monsters yet humans are still more terrifying. I thought it was intriguing at first since it explores the darker aspects of humanity and how it was never about the monsters. But now, I'm sick and tired of it and it's become a common cliche.
Not only does it undermine the threat of the monsters to the point where they no longer feel that intimidating, like when Dale said "it's not the dead I fear anymore" in TWD, but it also basically boils down to "lol humans suck".
It's such a bleak, pessimistic view of humanity as a whole and makes me ashamed to be human because of it. When I saw the racist mob in Welcome to Derry, I felt so horrified and furious that I no longer felt anything towards Pennywise since the racism's more personal and hits close to home.
I get that there are bad people in real life, but to make humans more terrifying than monsters makes the story is so distracting that it basically sweeps monsters under the rug. What I'm saying is that I'm tired of seeing this trope and that some stories should just focus solely on monsters instead
Roxie has the same VA as Katara from Avatar so I just had to animate this scene.
I saw this video on YouTube but I have no idea what species this spider is.
I'm animating on Krita right now but for some reason, when I play the animation I made, it doesn't play all the frames I animated. The video only plays the animated keyframes that are under the highlighted gray sections seen on the bottom of this screenshot. The dark blue frames never appear in the video playback. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Everything about his design, personality, and origins feels like he belongs in Gotham instead of Metropolis. Seeing Toyman facing off against an alien who's powerful on a galactic scale and defeats beings like Darkseid and Doomsday feels off to me.
Batman's enemies often juxtapose horrors with childhood innocence as seen with Joker who's a circus clown, Mad Hatter who references Alice in Wonderland, as well as Scarface and Baby Doll who are inspired by dolls and puppets, which is why I feel Toyman feels more fitting for this type of rogue gallery.
The issue I had with Better Call Saul is that if a character from the original appears in a prequel, they already have plot armor (Mike, Gus, Salamancas), and if a character from a prequel doesn't appear in the original, you know they're gonna die.
As sad as they were, Chuck, Werner, Nacho, and Howard's deaths weren't all that surprising to me, and Lalo holding Gus at gunpoint wasn't that suspenseful since I could tell Gus will be obviously be fine.
Because of this prequelitis, I thought for sure Kim was gonna die at some point in the last season of BCS but I was actually surprised to find out she was still alive working at a sprinkling company in Florida this whole time during the events Breaking Bad. The fact that Kim's still alive is more shocking to me than any death seen in Better Call Saul.
(reupload) In the Justice League finale Starcrossed, Hawkgirl turned out to be a spy and a traitor. In the end, Batman voted against Hawkgirl while Superman voted for her, but how would their partners have reacted to Hawkgirl's betrayal?
If Nightwing, Robin (Tim Drake), Batgirl, and Supergirl experienced the events of Starcrosssed, would they keep Hawkgirl in the Justice League or vote her out?
Furthermore, this show's now older than Dipper and Mabel are in the end of the series
When I rewatched Gravity Falls recently and got to Tale of 2 Stans, I wondered, what if Stanley went through the portal instead of Ford? Well Stanley didn't know how to activate the portal but Ford did, so the real question is, would Ford have rescued Stanley if the roles were swapped?
I don't think so. When Fiddleford got sucked into the portal during test runs, Ford didn't ask him if he's ok, he asked if it's working, meaning he prioritized the portal's function over his partner's well being. When he found out the portal was actually a gateway to the nightmare realm, he shut it down, and the whole reason Bill tortured Ford is because he refused to open up the portal.
If Ford did open the portal to rescue Stanley, he would've given Bill what he wanted and leak the nightmare realm onto Earth. In fact, Ford was so furious at Stanley for opening the portal because it caused an interdimensional rift that indirectly led to Weirdmageddon. Furthermore, Ford already sacrificed Stanley in the series finale when he wiped out all his memories to defeat Bill Cipher.
If Ford's willing to sacrifice his brother after making amends with him, what makes you think he'd rescue Stanley when their relationship was at their most strained? When you take all of this into account, Ford would've had no choice but to abandon Stanley for the greater good. Where Stanley followed his heart, Ford followed his mind.
The creators of adventure time, regular show, over the garden wall, and gravity falls all worked on flapjack, and all shows are on Cartoon Network except for gravity falls. Why is that?
Twilight Princess released 20 years ago in 2006 while Legend of Zelda on NES released 20 years earlier in 1986.
The titans from aot remind me so much of the post humans from all tomorrows because of how they're both creepy humanoid abominations done as results of experimentation. If the qu ended up in the world of aot and saw the titans for the first time, how do you think they would react to them?
I watched one hour photo recently and it’s not the worst thing I’d seen and the protagonist Sy Parrish is nowhere near as vile as Patrick Bateman or Hannibal lector. If it was any other actor like Christian Bale or Jake Ghyllenhal i wouldn’t have thought much about it. But knowing how Robin Williams’ life ended made his role as Sy Parrish carry so much eerie weight and made the film too upsetting to watch. It felt like I was looking at his final thoughts before his death, like he’s expressing his depression.
I can’t help but wonder how much pain Williams was going through at that time and how much of himself did he pour into his character. I wonder how the actors and filmmakers feel about this movie too. That nightmare scene where he’s standing in the back rooms shot with blood pouring out of his eyes was straight out of a creepy pasta and scared the shit out of me. Seeing Williams in that situation made it painful to sit through.
When I finished it for the first time, I stared out the window for about 10 minutes just to process what the hell I just watched. It’s a great movie but I can’t watch it ever again. Seriously though, if you had told me that Aladdin and One Hour Photo both star Robin Williams then I would not have believed you for a second.
I’m trying to fix the Eldin bridge but I still don’t have a warp portal here, what do I do?
I'm trying to add my website portfolio that I made on google sites onto this application but it won't let me, the text box highlighted in red won't allow a url link. What do I do?
