Valeria Kun 79
@avengervaleria
27, She/Her. I like Doctor Who, Transformers, Ace Attorney, Superhero comics, Anime/Manga and Japanese Video Games. Vtuber simp. I will spam your TL with pictures of my favorite chainsaw man girl
It's Christopher Ecclestons decade, now he has King Charles in his sights
My first time rewatching Star Wars 77 after Andor S2. Thanks Xoch for joining and Robert for arriving after we got through everything before the Death Star escape. There was a great Ian cameo that I will only allude to
shoutout to the deadly assassin, gotta be one of my favorite dr who episodes of all time
god help me, i am back into star wars and buying books i pretended to read when i was 10
Grievous killing the cantina alien jedi was the most violent thing I ever saw on Cartoon Network as a kid. I remember it being a lot more gorey, it's amazing what a few saber slashes and lighting can do.
I especially love the Frankensteins Monster vibe the Sheev Medical center has. Lucas's writing and directing has its faults, but there's a love for classic tragedy plays and other film/theatre classics in there. Meanwhile JJ Abrams puts the OT on a pedestal and only draws from the OT for inspiration
one of my favorite things about Revenge of the Sith is how the original trilogy iconography slowly invades and replaces all of the iconography the TPM created. All of the innocence from TPM is lost as fascism creeps in
5. Peacemaker James Gunn has the sauce to radically reinvent shit to suit his own artistic goals
4. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Welcome back Janet Hsu Localized DS Ace Attorney, its like I'm 12 years old again.
3. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Not as well polished or well realized as later entries, but Maya and Edgeworth carried the game to get out the door and start Capcoms best franchise. My introduction to yaoi
2. Transformers War For Cybertron Earthrise This helped me fall asleep, so I give it a C
i was writing an essay comparing japanese and american culture for japanese class and I ended up trying to touch on how anime adapts manga better than animation adapts comics. this was the main comparison i had in mind.
The Peter Capaldi era. Are there some duds and mid episodes? Yeah, every tv season has some. But every season has the best character writing the show has ever known. It was the best era and I didn’t even know it or appreciate it at the time. Peak Doctor Who
To The Death. Yeah it’s overly grimdark, But its the perfect conclusion to the Lucie Miller chapter in 8’s life. They don’t get a healed friendship. Instead the Doctor is forced to just move on while hurting over her death. I’m glad the other Time Lords don’t die because it wouldn’t be the same
The Charley Pollard era of audios. A prototype for New Who turned trend follower yes. But it’s the one of two eras where performed Doctor Who gets to have messy complicated Dr/Companion relationships that don’t get happy endings or emotional satisfaction. Instead life goes on, no one gets closure
As time passes, the wilderness years will be regulated to being expensive collectibles and pdfs for obsessives to read. But they’re aren’t all that good, when they are all held to alien bodies. The reason i love weird cosmic horror about running out of time and bad futures. An eternal oddity
What if the Sixth Doctor was allowed to expression empathy. The best Sixth Doctor stories and Evelyn is one of the best companions ever. Sometimes a random classically trained theatre actor can be the secret ingredient nerd sci fi needs
Love and War is the first time Dr Who feels proper adult. Not because Ace’s sex life or her desire to join a polycule, but rather it’s the first time the Doctor Companion relationship lets the characters feel like a real human connection and all of the pain that can come from parent child strains.
What if we shoved the Fifth Doctor in a story thats completely unlike anything Eric Saward and the anorak gang can attempt to cook. I can’t decide on a favorite, they’re all peak Doctor Who
Genesis of the Daleks. Rightfully overrated and derided for being overrated. It is the quintessential classic Doctor Who episode. Terry Nation is a good Dalek writer when he locks in
Inferno. Yes this isn’t 100% representative of Pertwee as a whole but nothing beats British writers writing about Britain falling into a fascist government.
The War Games is the perfect finale to 60s Dr Who. After nearly a decade of the Doctor being the only really powerful being, the Time Lords put him in his place and show us how really vulnerable he can be. The War Chief is 100% the Master. Oh and the 9 parts before the Time Lords are great too
