Really appreciate the mini lesson behind the whole premise for narrative story beats and expectations. As while I hadn’t explained or told her about it for the longest time, it drove my mom crazy how I always knew the who dunnit or climax of a show or movie, usually within the first act. Even tho while I’m aware of most concepts around and understand narrative devices and the hero’s journey, that’s not actually how I typically suss it out. Though it has kind of somewhat ruined procedural shows especially. As they are even more susceptible and rely on easily predictable tropes. Since it usually is knowing common tropes, subversions, red herrings and or misdirects that lead to me figuring things out. The biggest one being the concept of Chekhov’s guns, which rarely fails, as it would typically be considered bad writing if it did. Meaning anything and everything that happens should have a purpose and a pay off. It’s often referred to as loading and subsequently firing Chekhov’s gun. Coming from Chekhov’s premise that if you see an ornate gun on the wall that draws your attention, that gun better be fired by the end of the narrative. Otherwise it’s a superfluous and unnecessary element that should be omitted. So anytime you notice a seemingly out of place and or seemingly irrelevant detail to the narrative, it’s actually likely incredibly important and often involved in the crux of the twist/subversion. So between that general understanding of narrative story beats and other common tropes, it’s usually really easy to suss out the climax and conclusion. Which is sometimes a bummer to be able to instantly predict endings. Like I said procedurals are especially ruined for me as a result. Tho it is fun when you’re watching with someone and you’re able to figure it out before anyone else. As it’s always enjoyable to bounce back and forth with guesses or ideas. Anyways sorry to ramble on, it’s just a topic I find especially interesting, but it’s not something everyone is super familiar with.

2024-10-19 18:33:39 +0000 UTC"people who spend their life avoiding death are already dead" That is such an amazing line. It sums up the entire episode.

2023-11-01 23:27:14 +0000 UTCNot to be gross but since it kind of came up in the episode I would like to address this real quick. The correct way to handle catching a very young (pre-teen) child masturbating (which happens way more often than most parents think) is not to punish your child because punishing your child in such situations has been shown through various rather extensive studies to cause psycho-sexual dysfunction later in life. The correct response is to use the moment as an opportunity to start giving your child some very important early life lessons about the nature of Privacy as it relates to themselves and others and the idea of "private spaces" vs. "non-private spaces". This is also a good opportunity to teach them about the "no-no-zones" of their body that are only allowed to be touched by themselves and doctors/parents for proper reasons. This is actually really important because it gives your child the essential yet minimal foundation of sexual language and knowledge that can provide them a form of safety barrier against potential sexual exploitation by others. However, REMEMBER THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO NOT PUNISH YOUR CHILD FOR TOUCHING THEMSELVES OR EXPLORING THEIR OWN BODY NO MATTER HOW YOUNG THEY ARE WHEN YOU CATCH THEM OR YOU RUN A VERY VERY HIGH RISK OF DAMAGING THE PSYCHO-SEXUALLY LATER IN LIFE. Education instead of punishment is the right path to take. Also, on a separate note, the anime of Akria is VERY VERY OVERRATED in MY OPINION. This is only my opinion so if you enjoy the anime then I am happy for you. I have never read the Manga however so it may be really awesome. Anyways, I really hope this comment does not offend or disturb anyone.

2023-08-17 23:29:09 +0000 UTCFun Fact: Fascist Morty is a comment on how there are viewers who want to "go back to classic Rick and Morty Adventures" Also Alicia predicting the plot twists are still crazy

2023-08-17 18:31:14 +0000 UTCThe way you manage to predict stuff is downright uncanny sometimes. On another series, I've even seen you predict stuff that the even creators of the show didn't even think about at the time. You coul be a writer.

2023-08-17 16:20:44 +0000 UTCAnd in this episode Alicia uses the latent powers of her fortune teller model to actually look at the future. Holy shit that was incredible

2023-08-17 12:53:27 +0000 UTCSince you're getting pretty close to caught up, I thought I'd just mention the existence of the show Solar Opposites. It's really good, similar to RnM. (Tbh I enjoy it more overall than certain seasons of RnM)

2023-08-17 11:23:07 +0000 UTC"Fun" fact: there's a ticker on the bottom of the Nancy Grace scene that says that the judge did indeed commit suicide.

2023-08-17 09:50:52 +0000 UTCAlicia's bluescreen at the introduction of [German Soldier] Morty was hilarious. Also, Wasp Morty only got a triple-kill because he was spawn camping.
