Death Star Dance (Andor S2E1-3 analysis)
The only way out is through. People will break, in the struggle. People will fail, and fall. Some are more fragile than others, but they didn't ask to be put under this pressure. They'll judge each other and punish each other for these failures, if they need to to get through themselves. Good for the ones who get through, I guess.
Star Wars Andor S2E3: "Harvest" (continued more)
Literally the only two parts of "Andor" that I heard about before starting these reviews were the attempted rape scene, and the Mon Mothma dance scene. I never in a million years would have guessed that these two were actually the same scene.
Star Wars Andor S2E3: "Harvest" (continued)
It seems that Gul'Dan has either passed muster, or is just too savvy to kill without stuff getting out. Tae, on the other hand...honestly, Tae was pretty stupid in how he went about this.
Star Wars Andor S2E3: "Harvest"
Embracing traditional hierarchies as an attempt at rebellion against a traditional authority figure.
Priceless.
Star Wars Andor S2E2: "Sagrona Teema" (continued more)
I'm starting to wonder if this entire bunch are just part of a stress hallucination Cassa is having as he languishes alone in the jungle.
Star Wars Andor S2E2: "Sagrona Teema" (continued)
Is she, like. Punishing herself for what happened on Ferrix? Is this emotional self-harm?
I guess it's either that, or she's just planning to eat him and taking her time with it.
Star Wars Andor S2E1: "One Year Later" (continued)
This is one of the densest hours of television I've yet to watch.
Star Wars Andor S2E1: "One Year Later"
It's probably safe to assume that this particular prototype is one of the FTL-capable types, based on who the test pilot is. He wouldn't have been interested in flying this one otherwise.
Dungeon Meshi S1E4-6 (part two)
It is during the party's encounter with a pack of vengeful ghosts that Laios and the others most sorely miss Falin, and - implicitly - wonder if any of them have it in themselves to measure up to her spiritual strength and goodness.
And then they make ghost ice cream.
Dungeon Meshi S1E4-6 (part one)
Orcs. There's no fantasy RPG mainstay that's been subject to more controversy. I have thoughts on the matter, but if I started writing them down I'd end up with a thousand+ word essay, and I don't think this review has room for that.
The Amazing Digital Circus E5: "Untitled"
Caine isn't just the demiurge. He's also the problem of hard solipsism.
Oh My Goddess! S2E2: "The Beleaguered Queen of Vengeance"
I just realized that what I'm basically trying to say is that Belldandy, uniquely within this series, is written as an actual god. The issue is, ironically, the exact opposite of what the very humanized Skuld and Urd claim it is.
Oh My Goddess! S1E11: "Heatvision and Urd"
I've seen this joke in supernatural comedies before, but Marller is a really well done and amusingly animated example.
The Owl House S2E20-21: "Clouds on the Horizon" and "King's Tide"
Talk about a cliffhanger jesus fuck.
The Owl House S2E18-19: "Labyrinth Runners" and "O Titan Where Art Thou?"
Imagine a world where studio-produced art was allowed to be good, instead of having to be what some lizard-brained finance bro thinks will be profitable.
That would be a pretty cool world.
The Power Fantasy #6-8 (part one)
His reasoning might have been motivated, but Jackie Magus' conclusion was right. The motives of such an alien god should have never been trusted.
Hard-Earned Wisdom (Epic final analysis)
The wisdom that Odysseus was taught when he went off to war, and the wisdom that Telemachus learned by seeing what the war did to his father, cannot coexist. One of them has to be destroyed.
