Rant About Mida Rana (yansim)

You ever get that feeling when you're about to finish writing a fanfiction, like you have one chapter remaining to write and all of a sudden your brain goes,

"Hey, you should add (this) to make your story so much more interesting"

But it would require you to rewrite your entire story?

People have been commenting about the Squid Game glass panels game, saying stuff like;

“Why don’t they just jump on the beam?”

“If I was there, I’d use the beam”

Yes, I can see how people can think landing on the beam would be a solution, but theres a few things I don’t think people take into consideration. The bridge was made like this:

l⬜️| |⬜️|

With two beams supporting each side of the bridge, giving a rather medium gap in the middle. I was watching Matpats theory (which alot of it did not make any sense btw) and he said something about landing on the beams of both panels with your feet split. Like this;

/\ <- legs

|⬜️| |⬜️|

Its a pretty shitty way to explain but stick with me here. Now it’s not the size of the bars that we need to consider here, it’s the size of the jump you need to make it to the next two panels. The gap is big, bigger then the distance of the bars. Now jumping that distance, landing with your bare feet on the edge without leaning to heavily on one side when you land is highly unlikely.

Throwing yourself at that distance and landing in a position that will make you lose your off balance is mostly likely going to throw you off your feet, between the glass panels infront of you and to your demise. It’s like jumping on stepping stones in high heels, there’s no way your going to land steadily. There’s also the fact you can’t wear your shoes, which will put pressure on your feet, considering you have to be careful of the weight you put on each side. That will mean you have to land with your feet in the exact same position when you jump the gap.

Which again, highly unlikely. Edit: Also, shuffling is most likely not going to work either. The glass panels are ontop of the beam, meaning you would have to land on the first two glass panels, shuffle across and then crawl your feet back onto the second ones. But you would have to have amazing balancing skills and feet made of steel to do that.

Until Dawn Remake: New scenes that I hope have been added

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.

New Until Dawn Trailer

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!

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 :(

Ranking Scream VI Deaths

SPOILER WARNING AHEAD

10. Greg 

He died off screen and had his head stuck in the fridge. Boring tbh. 

9. Laura (Samara Weaving) First death of the movie. Not too bad but not as exciting compared to the rest.

8. Store clerk (don’t know the actor) Everyone already knows he dies, it was in the trailer. Still super cool to see Ghostface shoot a guy though. 

7. Jason (Tony Revolori) I thought his death was pretty average, since it was just a few stabs and he technically died off screen, cause of the title card. Only rating him higher than Laura because of Ghostfaces aggressive slash before the title card.

6. Brooks (Thomas Cadrot) Gale’s new boyfriend. Died off screen, only ranked higher because I thought it was funny how quick he got snatched and how he got thrown through the shelves.

5. Quinn (Liana Liberato) This is not based on her fake death! She got shot in the head, similar to how Liv died in Scream (2022). Ranking her higher compared to the others just because of how crazy she looked near the end.

4. Dr Christopher (Henry Czerny) His death was super gross, he got stabbed right through the nose. It was kind of like watching Wes’ death all over again. Still, it was pretty good. 

3. Anika (Devyn Nekoda) Mindy’s girlfriend. The entire ladder scene was so nerve wracking. The way Ghostface was shaking the ladder freaked me out so much. Her death was super sad but unique. 

2. Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney)  I loved his death scene! Sam was so quick with her stabs, wherever she could reach. Only ranked him number 2 cause he got stabbed in the eye. Disgusting. 

1. Ethan (Jack Champian) Ethan’s death was absolutely jaw dropping (no pun intended). The entire time I was just like :O. Super gross but definitely the most memorable out of all the deaths.

Hope I didn’t miss any deaths. 

Every time I watch the walking dead, I’m always reminded on how much I enjoy the interactions between Dale and T-Dog. Should’ve had more scenes together. 

Scream VI - SPOILER ALERT

Just watched Scream VI and I loved it!

I’m not gonna talk about everything, I just wanted to write my thought process for significant moments. 

When Bailey told Sam that Kirby hadn’t worked at the FBI for months, I was like, “Oh shit, maybe Kirby really is ghostface”. 

Because everytime I saw a fan theory of Kirby being the killer, I immediately dismissed them. It would make literal ZERO sense for Kirby to be the killer, because she would literally have no logical motive.

But as soon as I saw the double ghostface attack on Chad, along with the in sync knife swipe, I was kind of hoping it would be Stu AND Kirby. The brief moment between Kirby and Mindy, mentioning Stu’s supposed death really made me hope Matthew Lillard had returned. 

Again, it made no sense for Kirby to be the killer, but I was really starting to hope it was her. What we got in the end was good too though.

Also really glad you could actually trust the love interest in this film, “Cute guy” is so nice together with Sam. She deserves a sane boyfriend.

Chad and Tara are suuuuuuper cute together. I’ve seen some comments about the trailer, talking about Chad and Tara possibly getting together where they didn’t like it. I think I saw some talking about how Tara and Wes should’ve gotten together. But I love them together, so glad he lived.

When I first watched scream (2022), I was able to guess the ghostfaces correctly. (Amber and Richie’s ‘first’ meeting in the hospital made it super obvious). I never guessed Quinn cause she was ‘dead’. Everyone making Ethan out to be the killer was so funny, I never really thought of him actually being the killer. I was sort of suspicious of Bailey though. When he was crying about Quinn in the alley way, I kinda thought it was an underreaction. I mean, both of your kids are dead. My thoughts during this scene were, “What if he’s just pretending?” 

Also, while Bailey, Ethan and Quinn were doing their monologue, the majority of the time I was thinking, “Would this count as three ghostfaces or two?”

Logically, it’d only be two, because Ethan and Quinn actually did the killings and were wearing the costumes. 

Quick edit: Really glad they mentioned all the ghostfaces. Especially when Kirby was looking at Jill’s outfit. 

The first time I played twdg season 1, I cried because I accidentally let Ben go.

Doing research instead of writing? Boring Reading instead of writing? Lame Making moodboards for characters? Time consuming Making a playlist for your story? Too much effort.

Making memes that represent parts of your story? Always.

(basically I just finished a chapter of a story I've had so much fun writing and started making memes about different parts of the story)
