Have you heard of segmented plate armor? Also I don't see a line connecting those 2 pieces, looks more like shadow.
One thing I get particularly salty about Is when people complain about the light fury having hearts on her head and then pretend as if stormfly didnt have a much more noticable one in the second movie,I dont mind if u dont like the light fury but like play fair
I love this shit
Love the puns from Pun Hub
flat earth is compelling to me, because their whole selling point is that reality is EXACTLY as you see it. just use your eyes bro, you're not moving, there's no curve. but then you look inside and its just endless batshit attempts to explain away basic observations.
The only stuff that made it from the book into the movie are some of the aesthetics, Michelle's name, and her motivation to find her brother.
List of stuff down below of what the book had that the movie didn't have. Spoilers for people who haven't read the book. (Read the book it's great)
There is no AI.
All the robots are controlled by humans.
The USA had a civil war that was fought by drone pilots who wore older versions of Neurocasters which required them to use addictive drugs that also destroyed their ability to reproduce.
People who wear the Neurocasters too long meld into a digital hivemind.
Neurocasters keeps the mind alive as long as it is worn. It does not protect the body from harm.
Graphic description of someone's brain getting chunkified by an anti-matter round.
Michelle's bio parents didn't die in a car crash. Instead her father is unmentioned (if I recall correctly) and her mom was a veteran who died from a drug overdose after being abandoned by the government. (foster parents "died" due to the Neurocasters)
Michelle dyed her blonde hair black because she wanted to distance herself from the "popular" girls and to spite her foster mom (who Michelle beat over the head with a lunch tray after she mocked her for wanting to dye her hair). Kind of important to her character. They keep her blonde in the movie for some fucking reason.
Michelle had a girlfriend who broke up with her after a crazy priest converted her. Heartbreaking to read.
Michelle found her brother's body rotting away in a house while wearing a Neurocaster. Still alive and in control of Cosmo.
It is implied that she and him rowed out into the ocean in a kayak to be swallowed by the waves.
Cultist working for the hivemind hunting for her brother as well, possibly what Giancarlo Esposito's character was based on though I doubt it.
Me realizing holy shit they would make a sequel shittier than the last wouldn't they?
Another thing that bugs me about the Minecraft Movie is that it has basically signaled to Warner Bros, one of the WORST movie companies out there, that incompetent slop is acceptable.
People don’t want good movies. They just want bland, boring, uninspired movies with bad special effects and memes they can point to.
Competent writing? Not needed.
Competent filmmaking? Not needed.
Good special effects? Not needed.
Character growth and arcs? Not needed.
Original music? Not needed.
And now this has set the bar for all future Minecraft movies to come next. If there’s a sequel, it will be just as dumb and stupid as the first one was. The possibility of a new director or setting being tried out? Non existent.
Why aim for attempting to make a great film when barely “passable” earns you a BILLION DOLLARS?
Warner Bros was already firing directors, shutting down original films as tax write offs, selling off their animated movies, tearing down historic Loony Tunes animation buildings, and attempting to get scripts made through generated ai bullshit.
And the Minecraft Movie has just proven to them that their anti-creative approach WORKS.
Slugsign is a language of many uses
Would a porn ban in AO3 affect other countries too? Or will AO3 just block explicit works in the USA but let the rest of the world see them?
hey everyone! back up your works on ao3, because project 2025 is probably going into effect. porn will be illegal.
BACK IT UP OFFLINE. the cloud will not save you here.
also, make sure you're current on your vaccines. and that all your ID and documents are up to date. Renew that passport.
because the fda, cdc, and state department are about to go to hell, too.
how are we even in this position again? insanity. pure insanity. but protect yourself, and be ready to protect your vulnerable loved ones. shit is about to get real bad.
