My Mean-spirited Anti-parody
Had an idea today that I don't think I'll ever make it might be a fun occasion series.You know that youtube channel 'How it Should of Ended'? Web animated parodies that about exactly what it says on the tin? My idea is sort of the opposite of that. Movie parodies that deliberately respond to often critiqued or parodied movie scenes, plot points, or plot holes, showing how the story would be actually worse if they did exactly what we said they should have done.
For example, Glynda just tells Dorothy that the shoes can take her home the moment she gets them. She never actually learns that "there's no place like home" and then lives the rest of her life regretting coming back, wanting to return this fantastic world she didn't get to see, and ends up in a psychward after attempting to run into the next tornado to hit her farm.
Indiana Jones doesn't actually have to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant because it kills the Nazis after they try to use it? Alright, let's see the movie where he just sits around waiting for that to happen, then it does, and he brings it back to America without any issue. Marion's dead because they killed her for the medallion, but who cares? I got the magic god box.That sounds like a way better movie, right?
The fellowship takes the eagles to mordor. Not even a third of the way there, the ring corrupts the eagles, and they successfully destroy all the kingdoms. Because they're gods that we all mistook for a taxi service.
Give me enough time, I bet I could come up with a reason why fixing the ending of Grease would be actually way worse.

So I just had a random nerdy shower question
If Nickelodeon finally grows a pair and made a TV-14 Ninja Turtles show, would it be on Paramount Plus or MTV?

Everyone said all the informative stuff I could've wanted I'm just sharing.
Hahaha XD
I don't know just how unpopular this opinion is, but I'm still a Walker fan and here's a good reason why. He can laugh at himself.
I am watching Netflix's Pluto. I'll make a formal post later, there is too much to say, so I'll just do some nerd gushing for a moment.
I am watching Dr. Eggman and Goliath have a conversation.

this was one of the first serious defenses of Beauty and the Beast during the now infamous pop feminist craze of the late '00s to mid '10s. It was such a breath of fresh air at the time, and I'd argue is still the best of its kind.
I am so glad the nuance is coming back to the conversation about our childhood favorites, and I hope it continues to get better.
Why Beauty and the Beast is Not About Stockholm Syndrome
I want to take a few minutes to unpack a common criticism of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, namely that it glorifies abusive relationships, telling impressionable young girls that it’s okay if their boyfriends shout at them and get physically violent, because they can “fix them with their love.” While it’s easy to look at the movie’s reputation in pop culture and make that assessment based on the broad strokes, if you look a little closer you’ll see that this conclusion is complete hogwash. Let me explain why.
