Yes, that was a dunkey reference. First Impressions This is the best Holland Spider-Man movie by a LONG shot, it’s not even close if I am being totally honest. The brilliance of making us think that this Peter didn’t need an origin story then pulling the rug out from under us by revealing the entire trilogy was the origin story? Spectacular.Let’s get it out of … Continue reading [Spoiler Review] Finally, Spider-Man: No Way Home Really Makes You FEEL Like Spider-Man

Why The Best Girl Always Loses [Remastered]

[Man, I sure peaked early, huh? I’ve been doing a lot of these remastered reposts lately. My views on anime and manga have changed a lot since the time I wrote theses posts. With a “mature” perspective, I want to talk about my old points and see if they still hold up for me or not.]As always, Future Lumi in bold. I think I’m always … Continue reading Why The Best Girl Always Loses [Remastered]

Beastars and Stylish Racism In Animation

That’s a hell of a title, huh? Beastars is a fantastic anime, and I’m sure I’m months late to talking about how amazing it is compared to everybody else, so I’ll keep the opinion on the show itself short. Please note that as I talk about this topic, it’s with knowledge of only the anime, so maybe the manga is different. Beastars is nothing new … Continue reading Beastars and Stylish Racism In Animation

Why All Might Is The Best Hero [Remaster]

4th season announced, so I thought of going back to one of my old posts about My Hero Academia. With the context of the 3rd season now to back up my claims, I’m ready to re tackle this article. As usual, Future Lumi in bold. I’m only a scrubby anime watcher, so forgive me if some of these points are challenged in the manga. Note: … Continue reading Why All Might Is The Best Hero [Remaster]

Zuko x Jin – The Romance That Could Have Been

I am currently watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time since I was like 12 years old, and only now do I realize how many subtleties and great story elements I missed out on as a child. Yes, as a child, I loved the series for being a fun adventure with a very charming cast of lead characters, but as an adult, I … Continue reading Zuko x Jin – The Romance That Could Have Been

Do Characters Really Need “Growth” To Be Good Characters?

Last year, as I was looking at the criticisms thrown at the anime adaptation of Watamote by its critics, I noticed that a common one was that Tomoko, our main character, never grows as a person or changes by the end of the story, and therefore, she’s a bad character. Unbiased I say to you, and not just because I have a writeup detailing exactly … Continue reading Do Characters Really Need “Growth” To Be Good Characters?

Why The Best Girl Always Loses In Love Triangles

I think I’m always fated to like the one who loses in the love triangle. I’m a fan of the Betty more than I am of the Veronica in most love triangles, though not necessarily because I think they should end up with the main character by the end. It doesn’t help that the promotional posters and art are pretty blatant about who wins. It … Continue reading Why The Best Girl Always Loses In Love Triangles
