I had issues with how dark and depressing the show was, in addition to how slow the story was. There wasn't really much to make me want to cheer for the "good guys" any more than the bad guys, and I really did not like the liberal, SJW values sprinkled generously throughout the show. Last thing I need to hear, is how great the UN is, sticking a gay person in every 5 minutes, dumping on Christians every 3 minutes, things never getting any better, people getting killed or badly wounded every 5 seconds, and yes, the Indian woman's voice is not pleasant to listen to. I got sick of all of it after season 1 and never went back.
Really? But Vegas is in America. We don't have any issues with the number 4. Now if those hotels are owned by Chinese-owned companies, that's understandable. But otherwise.....
Oh, that wasn't a thief. The intro takes place during the funeral of Fred's grandfather (though that doesn't explain why he looks like he's been rotting in there for who knows how long) and a friend of the family was tasked with bringing the last will and testament (which was probably in the box) to Baron von Frankenstein's last living relative, which was Freddy.
I could watch it TODAY and totally agree!
I think what you're missing here, is that Merida was under the impression that the cake the witch made would make the Queen change her mind and call off the marriage. Merida didn't have a CLUE what it was actually gonna do to her, or she never would have made the deal in the first place.
Ironically, turning her mom into a bear was the best thing that ever happened to those two. It made Merida realize how important a role her mom played in both her life and in ruling the kingdom (because her dad certainly had no idea how to be king, other than act like a living mascot), and how to take responsibility seriously. She also learned to appreciate her mother as a person, and realize that they had more in common than either was willing to admit. Eleanor also learned that her daughter was resourceful and could handle crises much better than she initially thought, and that Merida wasn't just some spoiled brat that needed to be caged or put on a leash. Her knowledge of the forest and bears actually helped out both of them. The two of them also realized how much they truly loved each other as mother and daughter, something they had apparently forgotten over the years.
I liked Moana more because she wasn't a brat that was constantly at odds with her mom, whining, and obnoxiously showing off how independent she was by showing up the men. In fact, Moana actually was allowed to have flaws and live with them, whereas Merida only got humbled by her own shortcomings when things got really bad.
Maui actually brought this up in a conversation later in the film. It wasn't entirely about ending Te Ka's curse. For a long time, the people of the islands had stopped exploring, stopped trying to move out of their comfort zones and find new things. Their very existence was stagnating. The ocean deliberately chose Moana because not only did she have what it took to end the curse, she could also inspire her people, as well as other islanders, to get back out onto the ocean again.
Officially, Jamie and Adam lost interest, and wanted to move onto other stuff. Unofficially, they are just plain sick of each other. I have no idea why the Build Team left first.
If it makes you feel better, nobody even remembers that movie, even though it only came out a few years ago. Frankly, anything Seth Rogen touches turns to dust in less than a year, that's how much of a loser he is.
My brother had a crush on Kimberly :). He quit watching the show just because the actress left, so we didn't watch any more Power Rangers after that.
Ah, but it was fun mental kiddy cocaine to xD. It was so bad, it was good.
Just watch that lame reboot movie, and you'll have your answer.
This show made a lot of history buffs and Mary Queen of Scots fans squirm. My brother watched it (and he's not a history expert) but he was laughing at how bad the writing was. The owners of "Frock Flicks" have used it many times for their "Snark Week" articles, when they write about how horrible and inaccurate the costumes are. It was even crazier on their podcast about the show, and they cheered when the pilot episode ended; not because they had a good time, but because the torture was done, and they were drunk.
Good riddance.
If you look on tvtropes, she's actually an example of "Creator's pet." That's when some people in charge of a tv show just fall in love with a character/actor, and it seems like they're the only one on the planet who likes this person/character, but everyone else cannot STAND them, and yet this person keeps coming back or remains on the show for no other reason than the writers/creators liked them. Lana is a shining example of this.
On the one hand, Kristin Kreuk is a beautiful actress, but frankly, she's not that good at acting, and they made her way too perfect on the show, even when terrible things kept happening to her. (And I use the phrase "Happening to her," literally, considering she never seemed like a "go-to" girl). Even Chloe lampshaded Lana's perfection, and one villainess tried to kill her because of it.
And you're right, she overstayed her welcome and should have left.
I think it has to do with the fact that Disney and ABC air this film every Halloween on tv, so new generations of kids can watch it. There are also fans of the sisters themselves, in addition to real-life witches who like the characters.
However, there are groups of people who do not like this film, mostly for religious reasons. It's disturbing to Christian viewers that this film glorifies characters who are in fact, evil, and use magic given to them by the devil to do horrible things to children. It's even more insulting that the kids who are the heroes do not call on God to help when fighting these witches. Like any lame secular "outwit the devil" kind of story, they rely on their wits and ingenuity instead of God to fight evil.
I've seen way worse racism in tv shows than Carlos telling lame jokes.
I agree. I grew up with Magic School Bus teaching me science stuff, whereas my family couldn't afford the cable package that included Disney Channel (we were on a budget, after all), and for years, I wondered if I had missed out on something. In fact, I didn't even know about Bill Nye until High School, long after the show had stopped airing on tv. Now some of my science teachers used a few Bill Nye episodes to help illustrate our subject matter, but I saw very little of him.
Then, just a few years ago, I was able to watch Bill Nye on Netflix, and I caught up to see if I really had missed anything. Turns out, I hadn't. On the one hand, he was entertaining, but I was bothered by a lot of things, not the least of which, was the fact that he would only cover ONE aspect of ONE subject of science, whereas, Magic School Bus would cover a large bulk of that subject in the same amount of time. For example, Bill's got an episode about the heart? MSB had an episode about the entire cardiopulmonary system, in addition to how it related to muscles.
Frankly, after watching all that, I realized that I hadn't missed out on anything.
Considering she had a thing for Arnold, I'd say "no." You don't have to be a lesbian to be a feisty, action-girl.
DS9: Ezri, hands down.
