yeah like if you want to remake something, cool

but don't sweep the original under the rug

I can't bring myself to care about Mulan because of that

Imo this situation about movies will only get worse, and worse, and worse unless a major strike hits which is sadly extremely unlikely considering that everyone is becoming essentially a zombie

I just don't really watch movies anymore. None of them feel that great in general. My last favorite movie to come out was Zombieland 2, and even that felt it was lacking something

The latest good movie I saw was joker everything else was too boring for me

It's just hard for me to get hype for one to three hours of a movie with no foundation

like the avengers, theyre adapting something, reimaging something at least. I can get behind that, even if I don't really care for the movies

And sometimes it can be good, train to busan was a great movie

But I would never watch these movies unless somebody said they were good

I hope someone loses their shit and decides to end this wave of mediocrity, I can't have it exist by 2030

hottake

Parasite was a meh movie

even saying it was meh was generous

Didn't see it, so I cant say anything about it

Jojo rabbit and 1917 were really good imo

I just watch a bunch of anime. So who honestly knows how valid my opinions are- I generally feel like anime is more worth it than most forms of media.

Its often adapted from a book or comic - it has a storyline to follow. And if you enjoy it, well often times that book or comic is still ongoing and you can consume more of the media

I really liked Zombieland and how it was portrayed

but if I want to delve into that universe more, what option do I have? Fanfic?

You're right, honestly firetruck western media

:animeIsee:

Western media is just like... a lot of stuff

and sometimes you have a standout of those things

Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, whatever else

but then sometimes you get 2 broke girls

people go in blind

Both in creation and consumption

Obviously I can't say that western makes a lot of the same stuff tho- Japan does too.

Isekai, school slice of life, a lot of it is the same formula

The difference being though that in anime stuff actually happens

If I take survivor for example

I'm watching the same thing every episode. And all that happens is they leave one by one

it creates an attachment by making it known that these people might not be here tomorrow

so there's no need for development

anime tho you got the same 5 characters, some side characters. They're all around and they develop, or at least the world around them develops

idk

I'm ranting

Let's end this rant for now, at least I know I can search more shows now that I got out of the mind barrier that is cable tv

I think you’re comparing apples to uh, rocks with that one

yeah I kinda just had a thought and went with it without it really being developed

its 3 over here and im sleepy lol

9 am here, better concentrate to my studies while I still have them

Yo please tell me someone here knows about Toonami

I know it exists but we sad Europeans never had it

FeelsBadMan

Yeah, here in Italy we only have three channels that have anime (or one if you don't spend 60$ a month for sky)

3 channels, does it air sub or dub or anime that is in Italian

One does subbed anime but it's sky-locked, the others are dubbed in Italian (thankfully just better versions of the English dub)

I see, do you watch JJBA?
