It’s May the 4th.

@igotnopicks
Tomorrow, it will be Cinco de Mayo.

>Daphne as Leia & Fred as Luke.
Uhhhhhh

TBF, the idea of Luke and Leia being sisters didn’t really cross Lucas’ mind until he was writing Return of the Jedi.

Which makes the infamous kissing sequence in The Empire Strikes Back much more uncomfortable in hindsight.

The kissing moment wasn’t even that bad. Later revelations make it awkward, but even the moment itself was a quick mack meant to piss off Han more than anything. Luke and Leia had more tension between each other in A New Hope.

@SleepySteve
i’m like 90% sure that art wasn’t made between strikes back and return so it’s still weird to do.

Canuck animated films.

Normal-ass country they got there.

@Dustcan
The issue with modern religious films is that they all are trying to preach a sermon rather than tell a story. Old religious films just operated under the assumption you knew and believed all this, so they simply told a story. That’s why Prince of Egypt, that Joshua movie, and weirdly Veggie Tales work. They’re just telling a story with jesus as an underpinning. Bit more so on the veggie tales side but still.

So Unicorn: Warriors Eternal…

So far, I like the artstyle and animation. It’s very reminiscent of the Fleischer style in the 1930s. The pacing isn’t perfect, but I am interested in the story and characters. Speaking of the characters, I do feel very bad for Emma /Melinda and Winston.

@Salamenace
my shipping heart is telling me not to watch this because I’ll fear they’ll hate each other in the final episode and I’ll be devastated but my curious mind will tell otherwise since it’s from Tartakovsky. So conflicted.

I think one big reason people liked Muppet Babies back in the day is that despite how sugary the characters looked, they still more or less acted like the Muppets we’re familiar with.

WB didn’t get that memo with Baby Looney Tunes.

This looks amazing warning for gore https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studioheartbreak/the-lovers-2

I’d still watch it since it’s a new cartoon from Tartakovsky and I like seeing the Fleischer/Tezuka style in modern day. Also, I wouldn’t worry about them hating each other since Winston is currently out of action atm.

@Salamenace
Just ignore him, dude. He’s the kind of guy that hates Owl House specifically because his favorite ship didn’t happen in it.

@Penguin Dragneel
Yeah, like my favorite character got utterly wrecked but I don’t complain like hollow does,

@Penguin Dragneel
You recently complained about Marvel separating MJ and Peter in the comics in another thread. Isn’t that the same thing?

Also, this is why I can’t wish for Amity to be an only child.

I wish there was a way to make you admit you despise me without breaking a rule and being seen as “drama”.

I just saw the Digman Season Finale.

I’m glad this series got renewed for Season 2. Comedy Central needs some new blood and can’t just rely on South Park. So, I hope they iron things out and keep up the adventure and improve on the comedy.

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
I complained about it because it affects the story as a whole, not just someone’s OTP.

For whatever reason, Marvel’s MO with Spider-Man ever since One More Day has been to make Peter as miserable as possible, in an attempt to “call back to how he was in the good ol’ days.” He went from being a (relatively) happy married man, to an aged-up version of how he was at the beginning. He lost his job, he lost his wife, and he even lost his unborn child, all because of an executive who was blinded by nostalgia. And the run that immediately followed this (cough cough DAN SLOTT) didn’t do much to alleviate the backlash.

It looked like they were FINALLY getting over this in the Nick Spencer run. Sure, it wasn’t perfect (the mystery surrounding the new main villain went on for far longer than it should have), but it was a step in the right direction. And then immediately after this, we get a new writer on board who undoes everything, putting him back to where he was after One More Day.

The problem isn’t that “Oh No, My OtP iS rUiNeD,” the problem is that executives are continuously forcing retcons or backpeddling on things like Peter and MJ being a couple, just to make the comic conform to how they want it.

Comparing that with a crack-ship like Hunter and Elmyra, which wasn’t anything that the creator ever had in mind, is like comparing a pizza to an orange.

@Penguin Dragneel
Even if that’s different, Would you be fine being forced to keep reading the current run the same way you’re forcing me to continue watching The Owl House and being forced to ship Huntlow, which is a ship that will have one year of grooming when Hunter turns 18 and Willow is still a minor when she turns 16-17, not to mention the sheer paranoia towards age gap ships like Sparity?

This is why I fear that I say that I wish Amity was an only child or Willow was 15 at the start of the series. Because I cannot have an opinion anymore without someone forcing me to change it.

No one is forcing you to keep watching The Owl House.

No one is forcing you to ship anything you don’t want to ship.

But I am giving you one last warning to stop acting out like this, or creating drama about people “forcing you” to change your opinion.

No one is asking you to change your opinion. You are being asked, over, and over, and over, to stop being a jerk to others.

@Ciaran
Permission to cry?

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person

Y’know what, why am I even bothering with you?

It doesn’t matter how many time I or someone else tries to drill it into your head. You never learn anything. You just retreat back into your corner, complaining about how no one will let you enjoy things. And then you repeat that SAME FUCKING CYCLE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

God. And all this over a crack-ship as well.

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
If it would help you, of course you should cry. It would be infinitely better than attacking people because they like different things and you find that threatening.

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
The times you don’t talk about shipping or Owl House you can be very charming. It might be tricky but if you let go of this stupid shipping buisness you might be able to have more fun and actually make friends.

Stop using others as an excuse not to do what you want. Ignore what you don’t like. See what you want to see. It’s tempting, I’ve been through tantrums like this before, but I’ve learned it ain’t worth it.

Just let go and evolve to be better. Or you can stay miserable all your life its up to you

@Ciaran
At least you answered appropriately.

Besides, I found it threatening because I felt like I wasn’t allowed to dislike the show just because they got so mad over my grief towards a crackship that never happened when a canon ship has an age difference?

And how can I make people admit that they hate me without breaking a rule or starting “drama”? I know this ain’t the right place for advices, but I just want to know.

And I am starting to think the fanbase for TOH might become toxic.
