Headcanon that if Ben,Sarah,Duck and Clementine lived. I headcanon that Ben would get writing burnt onto his back (Like Clementine with AJ on her wrist). It would be kids on one side and their guardians who he promised to look after. (Carlos, Kenny, Lee, Alvin and Rebecca). Of course it would burn like hell but Ben would fight through it, since he’s been wanting to do it since it was just Kenny and the kids.
I’ve really gotten back into my Hetalian phase and I’m about to send myself into crippling debt by buying a shit ton of Hetalia stuff online. One of the things I’m buying is a mochi France plush. I bought 11 of them like 2 years ago and I never bought France. Sorry France.
Interactions between characters who have zero interaction. Like Emily & Chris or Jessica & Ashley.
Jessica having more screen time instead of being unconscious for half of the game.
Same for Matt, who if he survives the tower falling, is literally just wondering around aimlessly in the mines for half of the game until he reunites with Jess.
Matt potentially making it back to get to the safe zone and having opinions on the whole Mike/Emily/Gun scenario.
Emily and Jessica actually interacting without arguing? Maybe a potential to rekindle friendship? (Cause they're fighting over Mike the sleaze ball, really????)
Maybe more Beth and Hannah scenes? Longer prologue perhaps to actually flesh out relationships. Maybe Matt and Ashley actually have dialogue?
Honestly, if there's just more character/group interactions, I will be satisfied.
Do you think Duck and Clem would be a cute couple together, if they both survived this long? I ship em more often than the other repetitious Clementine has. Since he’s around her age. And if this was true, they’ve known each other since the first season.
I’m not the biggest Cluck (Duck x Clementine) fan but I do think if Duck had survived they’d work well together. In the AU I wrote of Duck surviving Katjaa was the one bit instead of Duck. Duck would be grieving and Clem could comfort him as Kenny drives the train.
I'm 1000% convinced they made Jim the one who gave the answer to Tabitha and Jade just so they could make him more likeable.
You know how people will skip an episode of a show they've watched because they can't stand watching it? Like the 'Scotts Tots' episode from The Office. And I know why people don't watch the episode, because it's just so uncomfortable and cringe to watch, which I also feel the same way, as I too skip that episode when I watch.
But I have a few episodes of Friends that I will just skip because there's at least one episode where I physically can't STAND one of the Friends because of what they're doing in the episode.
Monica - TOW Phoebe's Wedding. I really hate skipping this episode because I love Phoebe and Mike's wedding, but I cannot stand Monica in that episode. She was controlling and cared more about planning an elegant wedding than Phoebe and Mike's happiness. Like removing the vegetarian meal and replacing it with meat; the bride is literally vegetarian??? And then Phoebe rightfully fires Monica because she's so controlling, but Phoebe is the one that has to apologise? That's so bullshit.
Joey - I don't remember the episode, but the one with Rachel's romance book. I actually hate Joey in that episode because he just will not let it go that Rachel reads those types of books. And I get it, it must be strange for a guy to understand that it's not just guys who enjoy reading THAT, but seriously, LET IT GO!
Rachel - TOW Joey Speaks French. Rachel getting mad at Ross for NOT sleeping with her when she was completely vulnerable is crazy.
Ross - There's a lot of episodes where Ross is unbearable, but tolerable for the most part to the point where I don't want to skip an entire episode just because of him. But I do really hate watching the episodes where he dated that college girl (it was completely inappropriate) and TOW The Nanny. How insecure can you be to fire a guy who just so happens to work in a field that is primarily of women.
Phoebe - TOW The Cat. I love Phoebe, but there are some scenes where I can't stand how hypocritical she is. She's meant to be laid back but is so controlling when it comes to her beliefs. I hated the cat episode because if I was a little kid and my cat was stolen because some woman thought it was her deceased mother, I'd be pissed. And it's so wrong for Phoebe to degrade Ross when all he was doing was trying to tell her the truth, as hard as it was to hear.
Chandler - I actually can't really think of an episode of Chandler being unbearable to the point of skipping an episode. There are some moments that I don't like, but not to the point of skipping.
I'm a big fan of the walking dead in general. I played the Telltale games several times and my favourite character of literally all time is Ben Paul from season 1. I've watched the show dozens of times and it is in my top 3 shows. (Super disappointed with how the new walking dead game came out - loved the concept of changing the story, but the way they went about it was terrible).
But I found the spinoffs incredibly boring. It might have something to do with the fact that you have to wait a week for every episode, so when I find the first few episodes boring, I'm not bothered to wait and watch the next episode when it comes out. (This has nothing to do with impatience by the way, at one point I was watching Abbott Elementary, The Righteous Gemstones, The White Lotus AND Yellowjackets, all of which are fantastic shows and all had episodes releasing every week).
I watched season 1 of Dead City and remember nothing besides the basic plot of Hershel. I do not plan on continuing the show for season 2.
I watched I think the first two episodes of We're the ones who live before I quit, because again, I was incredibly bored. I love Rick and was so excited to see him back on screen with Michonne, but I got so bored so fast.
I watched the first 3 episodes of Daryl Dixon before I got bored and stopped watching, nor do I plan on continuing. I'm also not into the idea of romance for Daryl, which I had a feeling was gonna happen in like episode 1 with the bath scene.
Controversial opinion; but I will literally only watch Dead City season 2, but ONLY IF Negan and Maggie kiss. I fear that is the only way I would ever watch the show again, because it would be the biggest plot twist in the entire universe and the entire fanbase would quite literally implode out of rage.
The new Until Dawn trailer has just dropped that showed brief scenes in the new updated graphic style and some new scenes, and I have a few thoughts.
First of all, I think it looks absolutely incredible. I was freaking out the entire time when it first popped up onto my fyp. I know people were commenting on the lighting and complaining about it, specifically the scene they showed with Emily and Matt on the bridge, but I think it looked good and makes sense. I think people are a little confused and don't remember that that scene happens early on in the game, so that orangey/yellowy lighting is the sun setting.
Emily's hair. People have been making comments on Emily's hair and think it looks greasy and flat now. Yes, it does look different now compared to how she looked, but I'm pretty sure it's to make her hair more realistic. OG Emily's hair was completely round and didn't change shape throughout the entire game (besides when she's hanging upside down). Now, her hair falls natural. I personally don't mind how she looks before or now.
The first clip of a scene that is completely new. From the clips shown, I believe this is the only clip that is new, and it's Hannah and Beth helping Josh to a sofa. And I'm so curious as to what's happening in the scene and I have two theories. My first theory is that this is happening in the prologue, which is where we see both sisters alive and it would make sense for them to be helping Josh in the prologue because he's drunk when he first appears. I wouldn't mind if they expanded the prologue a little longer and allowed us to meet the characters before everything happens. My second theory is just Josh imagining his sisters alive, which wouldn't be OOC for him.
No blue tint? When I played the game, it was obvious there was a tint to the screen. I didn't mind the blue tint and when I play, I hardly notice it now. I don't know what people are saying about the blue tint being gone, but I really don't mind that it's gone.
The facial expressions! Everyone looks SO GOOD in these clips. Their expressions are good in the OG, but they're a little awkward. Now the characters ACTUALLY look like they're expressing themselves. Like Chris looks genuinely distraught in the clip where he has to pick between Ashley and Josh.
Fall release date. I'm so excited that it's confirmed to be releasing this year (I know they already said they'd be releasing it 2024, but I was worried they were gonna come out and say they were pushing the release date, which is honestly still a concern I have).
Overall, I'm genuinely hyped for this game to drop (especially to PC). I'm often a critic that finds things wrong or annoying with remakes of games, but I can't find it in myself to hate anything about this because it's Until Dawn!
Season 3 - Eleanor rant.
TW - Lots of Swearing.
Now season 3 is not my favourite season of the TWDG, that title will always be taken by season one but it does have it’s good moments. The story line was pretty good, most characters had likeable personalities and charm - one of the reasons I love the franchise so much and the antogonists really made me feel hatred towards them. Alas, within a pen of sheep, there’s always that one fox dressed in wool you never expect.
Eleanor starts of as a decent character, being introduced as the ‘doctor’ for Prescott, showing sympathy for Javier when he mentions his family at the junkyard and even offers to sneak Javi and Clem out to save Kate and the kids. The player is given a choice to go with Tripp or Eleanor. In my gameplay, I chose Tripp, because I trusted Clem’s instincts.
Time skip, Prescott is overrun by the New Frontier, forcing survivors out onto the road where their last resort is to ask the New Frontier to help Kate who’s dying from her wound. Reunite with David, blah blah blah. Also, I know Eleanor left Kate in the car, dumb idea, but honestly, Eleanor and Kate have similar body types and probably weigh about the same, so Eleanor trying to carry an INJURED Kate all the way to the gate? Impossible. (Had to rethink here for a second if Eleanor carried Kate at some point but no, Gabe carries her if Javi stays to fight and Javi carries her if he goes).
Aaaanyway, Eleanor is given a free pass by Doctor Lingard, basically giving her citizenship because of her stitching on Kate’s wound and I get it, props to Eleanor for her medical skills. *clap clap*. This far, Eleanor hasn’t really given me any reason to dislike her for anything that she’s done. She believed she was doing what was best for Kate by leaving her in the car to get help, but that ‘help’ turned out to be bs cause they just lied to her and locked her up. During this time, she’ll obviously become close with some of the other leaders, mainly Joan.
BIG time skip up to when Gabe helps Javi escape and the group reunite in David’s house, I believe. Javi walks in on Eleanor and Tripp’s relationship housefire and then can explain how Joan is a terrible person who is planning on ‘removing’ David from his role as one of the leaders by blaming the murders of members on him. After retrieving weapons from the armory and returning, the tension is pretty thick between everyone.
Group discuss what to do, go after Joan in the centre. Eleanor agrees and asks how. I always was suspicious of Eleanor’s hesitant tone but I was like, “Pffft, that’d be stupid, Eleanor’s a good guy”.
*X factor buzzer*
WRONG! It’s all revealed that Eleanor told Joan the groups entire plan. This bitch ruined the entire plan because she wanted to play teachers pet to her new mummy. And karma, being the sob it is, drags Tripp and Ava onto the stage where they’ll be the toys of a claw machine, but SURPRISE, there all rigged! And Eleanor is forced to watch as Joan orders her men to off a woman she barely knew, or her bestfriend and past lover. And when the final show down happens, she forces the blame, onto us! Everything happened because of her. And when you tell her this, she stomps her foot and says she didn’t want to leave in the first place.
Okay. But did you ever consider the rest of the group? The group that doesn’t feel safe between these walls when Joan is the one ruling it with an iron fist? No, because Eleanor is selfish and wanted to climb the electric fence and land on a cactus on Joan’s side. The woman who instructed her men to attack Prescott, her home, take her friend as a hostage, invade the place with walkers, tear gas and begin to brutally murder the people who did nothing to provoke Joan OR her people. Did Eleanor know all of this? Probably not. Despite that, she chose the side of a woman she barely knew, over her bestfriend.
And when Javi asks her why she told Joan the plan? She has the nerve, the absolute nerve to say, “I wAS jUst TRyInG to deFUsE A baD SItuATioN”.
Bitch. YOU CREATED THE BAD SITUATION! And then, she can say, “Tripp was my best friend, Javi!”
And who put Tripp in that situation? Huh? Was it Gabe? Was it Joan? No, it was Eleanor.
And, and, AND, the stupidest thing about this entire scene; is that I can’t even chew her out for it! And the game wants me to automatically forgive her because she’s trying to help people after pulling a stunt like that? Fuck. That.
Eleanor is my least favourite character throughout the entire walking dead game franchise and I won’t see it any other way. 12 thumbs down, 0/5 star rating, undercooked, it’s a no from me, au revoir!
I’m rewatching the office and I’ve picked up the habit of saying how much I love Andy out loud when he does something hilarious and then immediately start grieving after being instantly reminded of how the writers did him dirty and ruined his character :(
