2025 Thread 🧵 (I don't know if I have the discipline to keep smth like this up but we'll see)
I watched the most recent Fantastic Four trailer and I can't be the only one who thinks the VFX for the Torch looks bad? It looks so muddy and overly bright with no contrast and vibrancy. I feel like you could make it better by defining the suit below more, have darker values, more red, etc. ...

Sinners - 8/10
Directed and written by Ryan Coogler
The focus on music, and how it builds community and ancestry, combined with an excellent score by Ludwig Göransson and strong direction by Coogler himself, makes this a movie that particularly benefits from the audio setup of a cinema.

Nah how tf am I supposed to sleep with that Superman teaser. That looked so good, sometimes I question if I'm too hyped for this and then Gunn drops new footage

They really know how to tease us.

I find it interesting that so many people like the Sentry suit. Me and my friend kinda laughed when we saw it on screen, like it looks so bad and also so corporate. He was like a propped up goose. He even comments on that himself.

Thunderbolts - 8/10
Directed by Jake Schreier
Written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo
Everyone loves this movie, and I’m here to say that I share the general sentiment. I think Thunderbolts is a great time, and it reignites in a way the excitement for the MCU I once had.

Been in an interesting mental headspace for a while due to a burnout but I'm planning to pick up anime again and write reviews too

Did they use fucking AI for this poster?
The trailer is okay I guess... aesthetic is good but it feels like a retro sitcom and I'm unsure how that translates as a movie. And the script is my biggest worry.

The Apothecary Diaries S1
Director: Norihiro Naganuma
Assistant Director: Akinori Fudesaka
When this series ties everything together and gets rolling in delivering some satisfying pay-offs, it's really good. And I enjoyed most of it, but there are still things that overall hold it back for me,

The Apothecary Diaries 1x23 - 7/10
Lakan's backstory as expected is very good. It also recontextualizes his previous exchanges in a tragic way, such as him speaking about the possibility of devaluing a courtesan (Implying rape) is actually just a messed up way of his to cope with his grief.

This series is kinda popping off right now. I liked how all the cases connected, and it was very climactic with the big reveal - not for us, but for Maomao - that Jinshi is of pure noble blood. Speaking of similarities between Lakan and Maomao,

What an effective jumpscare once Maomao heard Lakan's name. In general, this episode was absurdly interesting with a lot of reveals and implications. But Lakan's goals are still not fully clear, even with that backstory in mind. Why does he want Maomao?

From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! 1x3 - 8/10
The formula still works. It's still such a hilarious and endearing series. The rest of the cast outside of Anna and Grace is also growing on me and it's nice to see how Grace also helps Anna socialize with her peers,

Revisiting my childhood. But in Japanese this time, I did watch it in German back then. So far it's definitely... unique. Not only because of how eccentric it is to center a show around a card game and run with it so confidently,

Jinshi's disguise and his voice changing like that was funny. I do wonder if his VA just did a good job altering his voice or if a second VA was involved. It's confusing to me how Jinshi once again is just a tad bit too innocent.

Dropping Momentary Lily after 3 episodes
This show now totally lost me. The third episode was pretty boring all things considered, mourning a character's death I didn't care about in the first place. The presentation has a bit of merit because it has the very unique GoHands appeal

They are being a bit on the nose that it was Memmeln (the cloaked people behind the two priests also look like Memmeln and her two friends), so maybe it's a misdirect. In any case, Memmeln is very suspicious and Natsuko probably knows what's up I assume?

That was certainly unexpected. But to be honest, the show hasn't given me much reason so far to care about its cast. I can appreciate how the series plays with expectations already in the first episode,

They can never make me hate you, GoHands. Now don't get me wrong, this series also is deeply trapped in the uncanny valleys of the uncanny valley, but there is just something oddly charming about GoHand's commitment to very off-putting

I can definitely see now why it's a bit of a pity that Sakamoto's production isn't stronger - The action set pieces are very fun and ambitious, even if you have to cast away some disbelief when it comes to the internal logic of it

I had so much fun with this episode, holy moly. Tetsuya Takeuchi is one of, if not my favorite action animator, so I was pretty curious what his director debut for an anime series looked like, and as it turns out, it's really good!
