Not as good as I remembered; It just KEPT GOING and most of the songs I didn't really like. The choreography was really cool though. Shoutout to the Ghost of Christmas Future for having selective mutism.
My main issue was the romances. I think this is a case of me Not Getting dating. This is something I've been thinking about often recently. When I started college I was glad because I thought people would be less Weird about dating. Yet it's still the same obsession. Someone said they had a crush on me after 3 days of talking! I can't really imagine dating anybody, but most especially not someone I've only known for 3 days! I thought this was because of my selective mutism but some people still seem to date despite having trouble speaking around them. Of course it could still be my SM despite that, different people experience it differently and all that but... I don't know. Maybe I'll get it when I'm older.
Back to actually talking about the movie!! Present and Kimberly I can understand for the plot relevance. Present's desire for a loving life and to push him to retire. CLINT AND PAST HOWEVER... They fucked once! While he still thought it was a dream!! Did they really need to date!!!?
I was SO EXCITED to see Henry guys, you don't even know, just for him... TO BE IN ONE SCENE!!!!! Heartbroken. It doesn't help my sister told me today that he apparently has a speech after the second set of credits, which we didn't see! Sigh...
At least the music box he made for Charlie was important. The letter with Charlie saying she forgives him for being busy, and then now... :,) When Vanny said she blames all parents for her death I thought 'ooo is she gonna go after Henry' but she just goes after random families...? I suppose it's sweet in a way.
I don't really like how she's evil in this since the whole point in the games is how kind she is. Charlotte being trapped in the emotional state of her death is a cool idea, though, reminds me of Dayshift at Freddy's. The opening scene with her was AWESOME. The design of her as a child is so perfect. I also get they needed a unique antagonist. If Michael was controlling them it would've just been like William again. Although, maybe that repitition would've served the family drama thing. Hm. Michael I'm less bothered by being evil since we already have a Mike and good Vanny.
The ending I didn't really like, mainly because I was confused. Charlotte gets defeated, hooray, end of conflict. Except, oh no it was Michael the whole time? Or just part of the time?? I think he just let Charlotte out, but somehow he can control the toy animatronics too? Which is only really so the original animatronics get a chance to aura farm.
I feel like I'm complainining a lot... I enjoyed it, so it's a good film to me. The references to Ultimate Custom Night lines were neat. Also, I saw two really cool cosplays and a couple people with FNAF headbands!

WOAH. Just... wow. I can't believe it's taken me so long to read this!
It was a bit slow in the beginning, but in the second half I could literally not put it down. I spoiled myself twice on major things while flipping forward for a page number... however I was still surprised because there are a million other twists and turns! It always keeps you guessing on whether or not it’s supernatural, even in the end there's some things that are unexplainable. (Rather like how Oliver was SUPPOSED to write his book hehe.) For that reason, though, I dislike the extra scene; I feel like it steers way too much to the supernatural side.
This book is really clever. If you're a fan of mystery I totally reccomend it!
I rewatch this every year yet Manolo singing Creep ALWAYS jumpscares me. RIP to the trio, they would've loved being in a polycule. My favourite part is when Joaqin said 'it's Joaqin time' and Joaqined all over the place.
To be serious: the apology song is my favourite scene. Manolo puts the shadow of his family legacy to rest by asking for forgiveness from EVERY BULL HIS FAMILY’S EVER KILLED, defying his family's expectations; a god and his own fear of being himself in the process, AND it has beautiful animation to boot. What's not to love? (I could probably think of something but I needed a closing statement so shhh.)
This movie was stressing me out, but it was fun. I don't really get the hype though. You can tell this is from the 80's because the cars are so beautiful... and uhh maybe because the mum's shown to be better by being skinny.
Marty was so cringefail with that guitar. It sure was great that no one else was using those roads while they were reaching 88mph! And that Marty had to go like almost immediately. I feel like having memories of a completely different life and none of the same memories your family has would screw with you.
The pacing was really off. TO BE FAIR, I did breeze through this in a day so that might be affecting my view but… It just felt like it was trying to do too much in too little issues, while somehow also as if nothing was happening. All the major problems are dealt with off-screen, in other comic series! I get the whole point of events is that the storyline is spread out through different comic series, but I still think it’s stupid.
Moving along to the more positive side: I found the Inheritors very interesting. If you examine my favourites in media, you’ll find there’s a trend of messed up siblings. I also loved Superior Spider-Man!!! I forgot he was in this. His reaction to finding out what Doc Ock did and his ‘pep’talk to Ben in #13 was great. Too bad neither got a happy ending (well, Superior does but I doubt he’d agree).
I thought the Inheritors fate was a bit ehhh??? Like, on second thought it is basically just prison but I don’t know… They’re forced to survive on disgusting food with only each other for company for however long they live, which is a while, maybe even forever as long as they have food and aren’t harmed. Since Ben stayed there for decades I’ll assume there’s a toilet, shower and some sort of entertainment, so it’s not all bad. Oh, also, can you guess when the big ass spiders that have been there the entire time, actually, which they conveniently can feed on (CRAZY that they just chose spider totems to eat for the fun of it) were mentioned? IN A DIFFERENT SERIES. OF COURSE!!!!
Anyways, back to the Inheritors ending: It’s just that Daemos was shown to be shaken by their mercy and is thrown into the prison while actively asking for an explanation. Karn, on the other hand, is just let off since he hasn't killed anyone Actually Important. Although, his ending is still pretty messed up… he’s forced to weave the web for eons until time loops on itself and he gets killed? Just to take up the mantle again??? Maybe we’ll get more on him in Secret Wars: Spider-Verse. That sentence sums this up, really; It just made me want to read other comics.
Favourite cover
#10. It's THE iconic image of Superior Spider-Man, how could I not.
This probably wasn't the best run to start with as my first ever Venom series since it’s quite based on things that happened previously. However I think what happened before is made pretty clear, so it’s not a big deal. I thought it was really fun and I’m excited to pick up the next volume to see where it’s headed!
The colouring really stood out to me: during alarms everything was RED, in the night everything was some type of blue and etc. I felt like each page kept to a consistent colour which made it seem really put together.
Favourite issue
#3 brought up a lot of interesting thoughts about Venom, both as itself and in relation to Eddie. The symbiote as something that is Made to be violent thrusted into a guardian role and having to deal with it... Quite yummy.
#5 was very satisfying because it answered a lot of the questions I had, and I liked the new characters.
Favourite cover
I though all the covers were cool, excluding #5 which I wasn't really a fan of, but on seeing #3 I instantly went 'wow that's SICK' so it gets top spot.
Favourite alt cover
#1 by Peach Momoko contains Shape which I am weak to.
