Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston make an appearance in the film as two train workers being interviewed by Kent after derailment. Frank and Ollie provided the voices to their caricatures.
Okay listen this is the wildest one yet. I’m up at 4 typing this because I still remember it vividly.
This one started up with a boy trying to float during a thunder storm. I remember the location because of the hill he was using. It was my first apartment we lived in when I was in highschool. He noticed a white diamond in the sky and realized all the lightning was redirecting from it. He looked down to realize a man dressed as Oscar from Dark Souls being chased by two assailaints. The boy rushed to his aid to heal him but was unsuccesful. After they escaped the man tels him he appreciates him trying and moves onto the next location thanks to a map. He asks why the boy doesn’t have the same map which he has no idea how to answer.
The boy is then accompanied by a rat man who looks a lot like Twitch but I remember that it wasn’t the character exactly. They go through a dungeon that reminded me of Dragon Quest and face a monster in a tub of acid. THe ratman was invulnerable to acid and took charge of the fight.
Cut to the boy stumbling across a town underground. He makes his way to an antique video game store to browse. One of the workers asks if he needs help and the boy explains he’s looking for an old SNES game (he thinks) called Athena. The worker is excited and shows him the old PC game collecting dust and asks if he wants to borrow it being his favorite series. He warns the kid to not stay after he gives him a bunch of games in the same series and tells him to enjoy them. The boy take the games upstairs and drops most of them on his way up. He rests at the top of the stairs to meet his neighborhood friend who reminded me of that black kid from the Bernie Mac show. His parents come in and suggests that the boy must be their neighbors son and he confirms it despite not having family (supposedly). He hangs around the family for a while and works on the farm. The boy’s character changed into a pigboy, not as a transformation or anything, the protagonist was just a pig all of a sudden as if this was his form throughout the whole thing.. Yes theres a farm now and makes a pretty penny. He returns home to his own farm where apparently his caretaker is this middleaged short smoking otter (Or was she a birdgirl I forget). She’s always busy and has to leave the boy home alone. He asks if she would be fine with him buying lunch today to which she laughs disbelieving he has the income but says that, and I quote, that if he could buy lunch it would be badass. THe boy proves her wrong, buys her a shit ton of cuisine and also fixes up their farm.
Apparently they ran a chicken farm but had no success because they were relying on this machine. He tended the chickens normally and produced more because of it.
I know the dream rapped up at this part because the ending was a lot less clear. Basically STEVEN UNIVERSE ( I AM NOT JOKING) became the new protagonist and went around correcting his mistakes. He apologized for taking the games behind the managers back and offered to repay him the money but the manager refused since he was so honest.
Steven helped his otter family get on his feet and get the business together which they are greatful for.
The dream ends with Steven in the back seat of a car driving down the highway during a sunset while a generic tune about how Steven is growing up plays. I woke up and tried to remember the song but all I remember is the base melody.
This was fucking wacky and I swear to fuck I’m not making any of this up.
Me: It was alright. Less threatening villain and just no sense of tension.
Critics: MCU’s best movie yet.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Me: It was great! I was so tired of the same tired Superhero plotline and even though it was basically the same as Avengers, the characters and humor were different enough so I didn’t notice right away.
Critics: It was Juvenile…Nothing to write home about, Chris Pratt couldn’t carry.
Suicide Squad
Me: I fucking loved it. The villains felt like villains until the second half when they get a little more humanized but sympathetic. Really wanted this team to get their just rewards.
Critics: TERRIBLE. IT WASN’T LIKE KILLING JOKE. FUCKING AWFUL.
Me:
I don’t understand the Super Hero Cinematic Universe fandom as a whole. Like some times they want the movie to be exactly like the comics and sometimes they want the movie to take inspiration from the comics without retelling the exact same story. And now I’m hearing from Double Toasted that they wanted an exact live action replica of Assault on Arkham.
Man you can’t say “Don’t rip off Heath Ledger’s Joker, be original” but then turn around and say “Why didn’t you make more like Assault on Arkham?”
Suicide Squad works well as a Pg-13 introduction to the characters while also working to show the human side of villains in the universe.That’s all it was. If you wanted a darker story stick to all of the comics and cartoons and movies told from Batmans perspective. This was obviously not meant to be a dark story.
And again How are you going to praise Ultron, one of the weakest villains presented on the screen in the Superhero Universe while at the same time saying Enchantress is shit despite being an actual threat to everyone involved? Do you want a villain capable of actually destroying the world and corrupting the minds of our protagonists presenting some actual tension or do you want some Tony Stark knock off with a bunch of shitty one liners that you can pretend is a badguy while the heroes take the easy win WITH VIRTUALLY NO RESISTANCE? (Quicksilver dying was only thrown in there because the writers realized how one sided it was.)
Critics, to this speech: Tl, dr.
Just refer to my Rotten Tomatoes Review. I’m a top critic
