Live action only has a purpose if it’s improving upon the previous animated version.
Honestly? I haven’t seen a SINGLE “live” action adaptation that’s improved an animated feature. I think most people would agree that no “live” remake would EVER replace the animated version, so remind me then: what’s the point?!??? why are we doing this?!?
If I want to experience the magic of ATLA or HTTYD or the Lion King. . . why the hell would I watch the inferior version?!? ESPECIALLY since I can just as easily access the original, better version?!? idk it makes no sense to me. Make new stories in the universe if you must, but at LEAST put the effort into making it look good.
I'm so so tired of "live action" remakes. HTTYD is my comfort film. It's ALREADY good. I was JUST telling my family that I love Dreamworks for making interesting films and not going the "Disney Cash Cow" route by making all their old franchises into "live action".
It hurts my heart to see this is happening. They don't NEED to do this. And if it does well we're just going to get more... we're going to get live action shrek and live action madagascar and we won't have anything new any more.
I hate that capitalism is killing literally everything i hold dear, trying to squeeze every last drop out of what makes us happy.
Fucked up that you have to go to work during the winter. Should be curled up in a little nest with several months' supply of food stocked up right now.

I just wanna talk about that whole plaguis thing again.
Now, what I HAVE seen some people discuss is that the mystery planet where Qimir lives is actually the same unknown planet where Luke buggers off to in ep 8 to die in exile. The origin for all the jedi, etc.
What I HAVEN'T seen discussion about is how the shot with Plagueis looks a LOT like the sequence from ep. 8 with Luke telling Rey that the jedi need to end.
First, you have the inside shot from the crevice. inside, looking out. the shapes of the rocks seem pretty similar to me anyway. plagueis's claw-hands come creeping out.
then, you've got the outside looking in shot, where we see Plagueis's face. looking out at the one thing (Osha) that not only spells his eternal future, but also the end of jedi (since a. Osha directly turns against the jedi and b. the whole vergance thing would allow him to rise to power in opposition to the jedi eternally). The quest for that power would almost destroy the jedi through palpatine and vader, you know?
idk. something about the fall of the jedi beginning in that shot with Plagueis's first glimpse at hope for immortality and the end of the Jedi juxtaposed with Luke eventually ending up framed in almost the same way, wishing the jedi would just end. . . it seems intentional to me.
maybe it's just random brain sauce, but I think there could be something significant there. I don't think i'm capable of fluent literary analysis though so I probably didn't explain it well.
one thing i'll say is that not a single bit of macro data was refined this episode
WHEEZING

I was thinking of how every time I see Cal with a blue lightsaber I'm confused (even if thats his canon colour) bc I mostly play with yellow/orange and see people thag play with those colours
SO imagine Cal in TL4J just showing up one day with like a pink lightsaber or some thing and everyone else is like wot
