watching the new gozyuger this week several days late after seeing everyone on tumblr complain about it. yeah it sure was an episode

theamazingelu @theamazingelu.bsky.social · 12h

genuinely funny how often the cops in kuuga are like "we got a fancy new gun for killing the ULFs" and then it does nothing

when im consuming media I see a cool idea that's not executed that well im always like oh that's cool i should put that in the story I'm going to write (i dont have a story) (im never going to end up writing it

the bullblack arc was already good but the feeling of relief and happiness that everyone has to seeing hyuuga back is so sweet. this is such a fun 6th ranger concept

theamazingelu @theamazingelu.bsky.social · 1d

if i had a nickel for every kobayashi sentai episode where the red rangers relative who was supposed to be the original user of their powers comes in to maybe take them back i would have three nickels

i really like the asuka/jeanne plot in abaranger but i hate how mahoro got housewifed when she came back. imagine if she got to be abareblack when asuka was out of comission

the gingaman character designs test my patience for stereotypes once again

Spectral Empress Iliess, an ancient Egypt themed sorceress with a veil over her face and a sexy dress

Wangawanga, a monster themed after African and Polynesian "tribal" aesthetics

I watched one movie where the anti terrorist guys found a bomb and then tried to fly it away with a plane but then the plane ran out of fuel so the other team members on the ground were telling the guy flying the plane "oh just drop the bomb on the city you're more important" like come on man

military espionage cop movies suck for obvious reasons but one of the best types of shitty movie is special agents being woefully incompetent at their jobs. it's funny as hell

anyway war 3 wishlist: tiger comes back to life and hrithik, tiger, and ntr have a 3some (hence the title). ruhi gets to do cool spy action scenes. kabir stops being a self sacrificing dumbass and quits raw to raise his kid with his two gay lovers.

war 2 is .6 stars lower rated on letterboxd but like. besides the most goofy scenes it's better? the twist is actually foreshadowed and makes sense (though the war 1 twist is still Iconic), the characterization and emotional arcs are way stronger, and the female characters have real stuff to do

theamazingelu @theamazingelu.bsky.social · 2d

don't get me wrong the war series is propagandistic spyslop but im doing Analyses. im looking at the themes. i have so many hot takes about how war 2 is actually better than the first one. let me write war 3 i have ideas

theamazingelu @theamazingelu.bsky.social · 3d

ough (haven't finished gingaman yet but)

theamazingelu @theamazingelu.bsky.social · 3d

also the sixth has to tell him to check his privilege. it's so good

theamazingelu @theamazingelu.bsky.social · 3d

i love how tatsuya timered's arc involves him being eager and optimistic but also he's like that because he grew up sheltered and rich and doesn't really realize the extent of the others' problems. it feels very real

i wanted to make super sentai ocs a while ago so i came up with some characters and then coming up with all the lore for them except what the actual sentai powers would be. and it got kinda complicated so i made them their own thing. and now i don't have any super sentai ocs

Just a fragment...

A colored illustration of Shinji Kido from Kamen Rider Ryuki's bloodied hand holding a shard of broken mirror. The mirror shines brilliantly, obscuring all in the reflection but his mouth which is also smeared in blood. He smiles.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.
