Good Shit And In-character

Just entered my Malcolm in the middle phase

I finished all of Naruto + Shippuden in two weeks. Yes I’m crazy and I binged all of the canon episodes.

Anyway - I took notes on my thoughts before, during and after every single arc.

In terms of Sasunaru, I had some inklings about the pairing during Shippuden, none pre-time skip but what really made me fully believe at one point Naruto was maybe in love with Sasuke, was early Kage Summit arc.

I just didn’t think Naruto would handle Sasuke’s absence so poorly when I started Shippuden. I completely misjudged his character. I didn’t think he would be so clingy. It was like baby’s first breakup with him. It was genuinely like watching someone experience a breakup, get depressed but instead of getting over it in half a year, it was 500 episodes or 10 years of anime. He literally was not the same character anymore. Yes he got older but he was just such a downer compared to pre-time skip because he was depressed about his man.

I fully believed he was in love with him until the whole reincarnation brother stuff. 

So many ups and downs with Naruto but I love him. I can’t believe I’m saying this in the year 2024, almost 2025 but Naruto is one of my favourite anime characters ever. Maybe I just don’t watch enough shounen but I’ve really come to like Naruto. He’s so endearing and him recovering over his breakup was one of the most cathartic things ever. Literally more cathartic than 99% of the anime fights. My biggest takeaway from watching the show and how I remember it, was Naruto’s coming of age story from his career to his interpersonal deeply complex relationships he has with people, especially Sasuke Uchiha. Take that as you wish.

YESSSS!!

It’s so confusing to finish the games and see the fanfics of him, cloud and secondary characters and EVERYONE is mis-characterized because it’s written from the perspective of someone who watched ff7 crisis core with no context and had to rely on typical anime tropes to somewhat understand it. If the writer doesn’t even know what Jenova is, it hurts the story. Also like who is your target audience boo? Other people who have not played the games and only understand the characters through fanart?

Yall I love all of you Sephiroth girlies but I have a big favour to ask yall.

PLEASE PLAY THE GAMES. Dont just watch only watch the 40 minute Sephiroth cutscene on YouTube and base your entire perception of the guy. If yall at least learned the plot of the game, you would really appreciate the character more.

MORE OVER, THE QUALITY OF SEPHIROTH FANFICS WOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IF YALL COULD REFERENCES SOME OF THE GAME’S LOCATIONS AND NAIL DOWN SUPPORTING CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS AND PERSONALITY.

Some of yall don’t know Sephiroth’s characterization and seem to go off your personal headcanons or use typical anime tropes when writing him. Sephiroth isn’t some anime bad boy, he’s vindictive, petty and scary soft spoken. Just look at how he flicked Aerith’s blood off his masamune towards Cloud. Or when his hand kept running up Cloud’s back and up unto his neck in one of Cloud’s hallucinations. I get that from watching clips out of context, his actions might seem like a dom daddy and all but he’s more than that if you see it through different perspectives. Like don’t forget, he’s trying to destroy the world with a giant meteor crashing down and wiping everyone out.

Just putting it out there.

Hannibal (TV Show) is Overrated

What’s sad was that I did like it for the first season but then I started to get annoyed with weird plot holes, character motivations, occasionally off putting music, bad acting and horrible dialogue. I binged it in three days with no spoilers. I watched it right after watching SOTL which in hindsight was a bad move because it created an expectation that was not matched at all. Something tells me that I won’t like the books either because the red dragon plot was boring as hell. 

The characters were okay but I thought Will was a better character than the character the show was named after. I know it’s different actors so different interpretations of the character Hannibal but he seemed really lack luster and a little repetitive with all that cooking nonsense and talking in riddles and metaphors. Don’t even get me started on Bedelia’s way of communication through breathy whispers of constant riddles that always sound like questions than statements. 

...

The one slightly hilarious thing about Bedelia was that she broke confidentiality to casually make a gay joke that only her and the viewers are in on. It was the only human thing she had ever done in the entirely of her character arc. 

Far Cry 6 Ending Spoilers

Honestly, why did I waste my time getting attached to characters if they were gonna die in the end? A part of me wonders if Diego’s part in the story was cut. We all know that most of the budget went to Anton’s actor salary but I wish we saw more of Diego without his father beside him. The kid just doesn’t show up enough in the story, but I still got really attached to him and wanted him to live by the end. What a bummer. 

Rebirth Date Spoilers part 2

Oh my gosh I can’t believe I made a post complaining about both sides cherry picking lines to support their ship and now that comment section is filled with people from both sides cherry picking lines AAAAAAAAA

COMPLAINING ABOUT IT DOESN’T MAKE IT GO AWAY REGARDLESS BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM BOTH SIDES WILL REITERATE THAT THEY THINK THEIR OPINION IS CORRECT IN A POST WHERE IM COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM

I’m not on anyone’s side!!! I literally got so annoyed that I got Yuffie as my date because I had a feeling that something would happen during either Aerith or Tifa’s dates.

BOTH CLOTIS AND CLERITHS: There is a love triangle! Stop trying to deny it because it’s very annoying. People just want to enjoy the golden saucer dates and honestly the last three chapters of rebirth without people cherry picking lines.

This game is a giant analogy for renewable resources and late stage capitalism but all the discussion outside gameplay or the multiverse has been about ships!

People can’t enjoy random things like character dialogue, story beats and side quests unless it has to do something with the two main DOUBLE heroines and love interests.

Is this ninja storm 3 or 4?
