INSERT: *valid criticism of a show/movie* RESPONSES: "It's a movie, you're thinking too hard about it" "It wouldn't be a sitcom if it didn't have problems" "You're too invested, relax"
Like, what???? The point of watching something is to be invested in what's happening? Do people actually sit there and stare blankly at their screens with no thoughts??? What's the point of watching if you're not gonna bother expressing your opinions it?
It's just weird how people actually bother commenting, "It's just a show" under posts either criticising plots or characters. Like they think that's a valid argument.
AU where Sarah and Duck live and after saving everyone from the Delta, James stayed with the group and showed them all how to live among herds. They use this to gather food in crowded areas like some stores. But one day Sarah finds a library but finds it packed with walkers. So Duck being Duck, goes inside and stuffs a duffel bag full of random books he comes along as he slowly makes his way through the library. Sarah anxiously awaits outside, worried that she’d just killed Duck. Is happy to see that Duck successfully made it out alive with no bites and the books. Basically a headcanon where Duck will risk his life to make people happy by getting them stuff. (Sarah with books, Mitch with some matches, Tenn with some art books and paint, ect)
Headcanon where James (season 4) and Alex Fairbanks are brothers. In this au, James is not as pacifistic, only resorting to killing walkers to defend himself and Alex. Alex is 15 in this and James is 20 since this sets scene in season 4 and Alex was 7 in the Michonne game, and it’s been about 8 years since in the final season it says Clementine’s 16-17. James and Alex have been wandering for years, using their skills they learnt from the whisperers to move around herds. Alex doesn’t like using the mask a lot and likes to take breaks every now and then to at least eat. Instead of calling them walkers, Alex refers to them as Wendigos. James wasn’t as close to his Grandmother, so he was never told about Wendigos. Similar to Aasim, Alex has written alot of what has happened through out his life, and how much he looks up to James. When they meet Clementine and Aj, and she offers them to stay, Alex gets the biggest smile he’s had in years. Finally, they don’t have to keep walking, they can settle down, just like James said, with people they can trust. James isn’t that trustworthy, but agrees, to make Alex happy.
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!
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.
While looking for a good photo of Jean from 400 days to draw (which was a struggle), I came across a reddit post about a character named Asha which was scrapped from the Final Season. And I was like WHAT! I had no idea this was a thing, the character design of her was a little weird cause it shows her with Season 1 Clementine and there’s a sketch which looks like she’s arguing with an older Gabe. Apparently there was nothing in past scripts that actually included Asha which is a shame. There’s also this other character that was scrapped, Jill who was also scrapped from the Final Season. The only thing I really found about Jill is she’s described as a wanderer and Clementine would of met her during the old Final Season.
I’m sure there are alot of scrapped characters but these are the first two I’ve actually found. Would you include Sandra in scrapped characters? As she was going to be added into flashbacks of Season 3 but was replaced by back story of the Garcias, which still pisses me off. I really didn’t care for any of those flashbacks. I’ll make a seperate post of me ranting on about how Sandra should’ve been added into flashbacks of Season 3, if I remember.
:) idk
SPOILERS BELOW
It's crazy to hear Adult Shauna claiming that "We were having so much fun out there." Because if you watch episode 10 of season 3, you'll realise that Shauna is quite literally the only person who is hunting Mari. (I know that there are like 2 other characters, Robin and someone else, but I didn't include them because they're only background characters)
Travis was definitely drunk and most likely stayed back, because the last time we see him after the cards is after the grace period countdown.
Lottie found Mari but wasn't actively trying to kill her, and even tried to warn her about the pit, saying Mari's been here before.
Akilah was involved in the plan, as she killed all the animals so the others (specifically Lottie) could be convinced that the wilderness was upset and they needed another hunt.
Misty was involved in the plan.
Gen lured Taissa away to give Mari a chance to live.
Van obviously didn't want to kill Mari, as she tried to give the Queen to Hannah before Shauna caught on and moved spots.
Natalie went back for the radio phone and left to the mountains.
Hannah found her and helped with the plan to help Natalie escape.
Melissa tried killing Shauna, which was the only time we saw her during the hunt. I'm convinced she was most likely stalking Shauna, and used the moment Taissa and Gen had left, to strike.
Taissa wasn't actively hunting Mari during the hunt. Yes, she was staying close to Shauna, but she was also trying to divert her attention, I.E. trying to convince Shauna that the tracks they found weren't Mari's. I also think she was also keeping an eye on Shauna during the hunt, making sure she didn't find Natalie, but I think her love for Van definitely outweighs rescue, which was why she went with Gen.
Shauna is the only person during the hunt to be actively trying to find Mari and kill her. None of the others are after Mari, because most of them were involved in the plan, which was to distract Shauna long enough for Natalie to leave with the radio phone. Which was why you can hear them still making the animal noises during the hunt. It wouldn't be seen as a real hunt if they didn't make noise to convince Shauna.
It's hard to tell who exactly is part of the plan, but my current analysis is; Natalie, Van, Misty, Akilah, Mari and Melissa. Melissa probably joined the plan after Shauna nearly shot her. Taissa probably was aware of the plan due to Van trusting her. I SERIOUSLY doubt Lottie was involved in the plan, for obvious reasons. Hannah definitely wasn't part of the plan UNTIL she found Natalie with the phone. Gen and Travis, I'm 50/50 on whether or not they were involved. I think Travis has mentally checked out this season, so it's really hard to tell.
I am today years old when I found out that Courteney Cox and David Arquette were married. I only found out because the Friends opening said “Courteney Cox Arquette” and I was like “?????”
Am I the only one who really disliked Allison in this season?
Like yeah, she was grieving because of her daughter not existing in the timeline, but her actions throughout the season pissed me off. She was just such a bitch and for what though? We technically can’t even blame Harlan for what happened. Even if he didn’t kill their mothers, they wouldn’t have been adopted by Reginald since he willingly chose other kids because he realised that “his selection was poor” and chose stronger kids. So even if that Allison did survive, it’s possible that she may not have met Patrick and had Claire in the first place.
And the fact that Allison turned so fast on Viktor and constantly kept trying to pick fights (COUGH COUGH at the wedding COUGH) and nearly killed him. Like yeah, technically Viktor was sort of responsible for giving Harlan powers unintentionally, resulting in their mothers deaths and Allison not existing in that timeline but Viktor had no idea that he even gave Harlan powers in the first place.
And don’t even get me started on what the fuck happened between Allison and Luther this season. What happened in that scene between them was borderline SA. Allison uses her powers to make Luther stay to have sex with her. And people may argue that she just wanted him to stay and not go with the enemy, but what does, “I heard a rumour that; you want me“ imply? She’s grieving; but that’s no excuse for her actions. I know they were together, but Luther has moved on with Sloane, just like Allison had with Raymond. Edit: She almost acts surprised when he doesn’t stop after she says to stop. The dude is under her power!
Other than Allison being a huge dick throughout the entire season. I enjoyed it a lot, especially Klaus being able to gain more control of his power and finding out that he’s immortal was fascinating. I’m really excited for season 4, I want to find out what happens now that they have no powers.
