Pretty Excited About Pokemon Sleep

dick grayson is so important to me. he’s kind, he’s so kind, he’s the safety net of the multiverse but he’s so angry. his parents are dead. his brother died and came back all wrong and he couldn’t do anything about it. he had to play the father role to a spoiled angry homicidal ten year old and yeah he loves damian so so much now but it was so hard in the beginning, on top of trying to be there for tim. he has to watch bruce act the way he does and his friends keep dying and he’s so so angry and he’s so tired but he isn’t allowed to be angry because angry dick is scary and angry dick is wrong but he’s so angry but he has to be kind because other people need him and-

My brain cannot physically handle my love for them

I think the overall point of ATSV/BTSV isn’t just rejecting tragedy itself because bad things happening isn’t a Spider-Man thing, that’s just life. And like Peter B Parker says, good things happen just as suddenly, and that’s life too. But in the meantime you’re supposed to do what you can without letting it define you or your story, which is what invokes Miguel to create an algorithm designed to erase the concept of unpredictable tragedy itself, even if it facilitates it. Hell, Miguel is so poorly adjusted from what happened to him he rejects and takes extreme offense to *any* irregularities, even if it’s a human being like Miles. But Miles trying to save his dad now that he knows what’s going to happen? That’s just doing what you can. That’s just being Spider-Man

personas are the manifestation of ur true selves or some shit

nobody got hurt so im allowed to giggle about this extremely looney tunes looking accident on a part of 64 i used to drive down at least once a week

something i feel very strongly about is that the IT films do a bad job making the adults feel like friends. i don't know if it's a script issue, a directing issue, or an acting issue, but it's incredibly frustrating to me.

the movie does a great job showing close relationships between the losers in specific pairs (richie and eddie, ben and beverly, mike and bill), but otherwise they do not feel like friends to me (they almost get there in the jade scene, but nothing like in the miniseries, and the rest of the movie is awful in this regard). like you want me to believe eddie died and beverly and ben are just??? making out??? like richie is here sobbing on a rock and he loses his glasses and the other losers go looking and bev and ben are just???? kissing? like these are not beverly and ben these are imposters. like tell me why richie was the only one who showed any significant emotion over eddie dying. they were all friends, thats the whole goddamn point.

and idk what happens in the book, but the losers leaving eddie in the sewers is so stupid, like he is constantly noted to be tiny, and you're telling me none of the losers could carry him out? ben's whole thing (which i will be ranting about later because it pisses me off that ben had to get skinny and buff to be hot like shut the fuck up) is that he got buff and he couldn't pick up eddie? seriously? it makes no sense for the losers to leave him down there he hated the sewers the last place in the world that he would ever want to rest forever would be in a disgusting sewer. they love him and they know him they would never leave him down there

the relationships between the losers in the miniseries feel so much more substantial, yes richie and eddie are shown to be notably close, same with ben and bev, but that doesn't mean they don't all love each other. it's very notable to me that in the miniseries the losers are always touching each other, and not just in brief offhand ways, they lean into each other, they lay on each other, they caress each others faces. it isn't just that they love each other and are comfortable sitting close together on the couch or something, they are constantly actively touching each other, both because they love each other, and probably because they're so amazed to have each other back and want to commit their friends to memory. like literally any scene with more than one loser in it? they're touching each other or otherwise very close, whereas in the film you don't get that impression at all.

and nothing bad ever happened to them ever <3 (zoom + ref under the cut)

imo, there really is a disconnect between the way book eddie is described and It chapter 2 eddie is portrayed.

to me, eddie is sweet and sensitive at his best, but has a short fuse when he’s poked too hard and bites back with spunk and verve to defend himself or his friends. it chapter 2 eddie just….has no fuse. he’s just always angry at any and everything and anger is his default state, not him at his fiercest.

in the book, eddie is skittish and afraid most of the time, but that’s what makes his outbursts of confidence and bravery so meaningful when it really counts. he’s willing to drop all those fears to save his friends. and to be fair they did give him this same arc in it chapter 2, but most of the time they showed him being too afraid and screwing things up for everyone so we only got one moment of bravery before he was immediately killed.

idk. maybe i just wanted to see eddie attack the giant eye in the movies. 💀
