Black Mirror: White Christmas (2014)
DOUBLE PERSON
Everyone has already given their thoughts on this episode, i will point out at something that i feel no one will notice, If everyone gets their hands on this technology, it will be devastating and will eventually run out of control.
The concept of life, death and rebirth is used in the second part very effectively well. The part where the girl in controlling the house when she is asleep could be possible in the near future, have you ever though what it feels like when you see yourself and someone tells you the other self of yours who is experiencing life and you are stuck in that egg so scary.
In Physics we learnt that to every action we have an equal in opposite reaction, so the zero sum rule in invalid IRL. Unless our measurement is far apart from a central server and through that server everyone else gets different variation of similarity.
Why do we get such inaccurate results , like a lot of minor errors? If everything in the universe is well defined why do we get inaccurate results or our results are just a deviation away from the center of measurement.
In all of these black mirrors episodes i have seen a common pattern , loop within a loop. This one actually being my favorite. If you notice in our daily life everything seems to be coming to us so casually, without even trying.. Wherever we go as we get older from now onwards everything seems so easily available to us , are we approaching the central server? Second by second, day by day, month by month. After we approach the central server then what? Is it the end?? Or will we diverge from there and restart a fresh. ARE we reaching HEAVEN ?? This is very interesting to think about.
The Hardy Boys: An Unexpected Return (2022)
An Unexpected Ending!
The more i watch ,the more confused i am..and now it is even more confusing than the manipulation of Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan
First and foremost...How does the consciousness, the visions in this show exactly work???
As we know the Visions do not give us information as in (events)but it gives us data without interpretation ,kind of like extreme superstition but with 100% accuracy
The ending sequence shows us that the "EYE"the ancient artifact is not the only artifact that is mysterious ,but now we have a whole bunch of new items..and each of those are now in the possession of some of our main casts ..how cool is that
This is actually a way better season than season 1 ,the acting has become a lot better,the new set of characters provide more room for the main casts to go into various area ....the typical "let's split up guys"
But It's not the acting that makes the show interesting for me ,it's the mysteries surrounding Bridgeport and The hardy family. This season makes me sympathetic towards granny gloria
Next season is gonna be crazy..i can feel it
At first the twists seems stupid and nonsensical .but when you put the pieces together it makes sence.
Guess what..Great grand dad is back ..
And it's gonna get a lot more interesting
I've read the hardy boys a long long time ago,i guess I can go back and revisit the series now😁
Death Note: Desu nôto: Donten (2006)
Rewatched this recently ,After 3 years and the feeling is still the same!
Light Yagami is the definition of cruelty,and i love it. From the beginning of the episode till the end ,slowly building up the tension and when you understand the context of the situation,you realise how brutal of a protagonist he is. He does not have great physical killing skills,swords or guns ,a perfect depiction of a silent killer. First killing off Ray Penber and now targetting his fiancée who is also a top tier FBI agent , ofcourse you have the intervention of Ryuk helping him out.
In the entire show this is the only part where if you are a die hard Light Yagami fan you are still not on his side ,pushing the boundaries of a character progression to new heights. Questioning if "GOD of the NEW WORLD" title actually fits him or not.
This is where Light Yagami became a character,very few characters in history have achieved such a brutal status. The writing is perfect although it is a bit of a convenience .It just works perfectly.
Kôdo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurûshu: Ragunareku no setsuzoku (2008)
Obey me Subjects!Obey me WORLD!
I have never seen a main character achieve such a high feat ,to conquer the entire world and the execution of this is far beyond magnificent,we obviously know that Lelouch had potential since episode 1 ,but what he has achieved here is PEAK status
Who would have thought that a guy with potential would actually achieve something like this
Lelouch is the main character that every show wants to learn how to do and none have come close ,it is really hard to pull off and ofcourse it does not come directly it requires proper build up ,a proper reason and the lowest points to his journey(ep 21 season 1)
This episode and the ending are two episodes that sums up Lelouch as a character and why he is the KING ,why he is the RULER,why he is the perfect protagonist
Nothing less nothing more.
Kôdo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurûshu: Chizome no euphie (2007)
When the Geass is misused
Do you remember a moment in TV where there is that one twist that you think can happen and can screw up the entire situation ,but it cannot happen unless something out of the ordinary forces that outcome to happen
(all this stuff happens in the viewers mind,before it actually happen)
And when it happens you are not ready for it ,you know it will happen but what you don't expect is that it happen and takes the moment even further into messed up territory
Chizumi no Euphie perfectly captured that exact moment and not only that but has done the situation even worse for the story increasing the stakes to all time high and for Lelouch to fix this situation that can't seem to have a solution to it.
Even after so many years this single moment has massacred the viewers and the execution by studio GIANAX took the advantage and Geassed ours mind so that we can never forget this moment.
Steins;Gate 0 (2018)
Much better and less confusing
This adaptation of steins ;gate was much better than the original , although it didn't have the WTF moments the original had ,with the introduction of the new characters the show became more dynamic and interesting than its predecessor
If i were to say the og steins;gate was more dark than this one ,it suited the atmosphere of the show ,while this being a more light hearted in comparision ,but more rewatchable than the og because of the adaptation became less confusing ,the og steins;gate had more going for it than this
Overall i give steins:gate 0 a 8/10 and the og also an 8/10 very good show a must watch if you are into science nd time travel or into drama.
Bleach: Burîchi: Shitô ketchaku! Shiroki hokori to kuroki omoi (2005)
White Ichigo the best inner demon shounen has ever produced
White Ichigo, from now on only referred to as "White", is the inner demon trope to his core. He's the evil power in the protagonist that gives the MC a big power boost and makes him feel bad for relying on an evil power to fight, but unlike some other inner demons, like Kurama and Asta's devil, White has personality from his first appearance.
And that character is something that isn't there anymore in modern shounen .it is as if Kubo crafted a perfect inner demon of a character that feels real ,logical and also does the job for you.
Compare this to Kurama, who didn't really have a personality other than battery for Naruto when he can't win for a long while, and never had plans beside just taking control of Naruto. White's plan of making Ichigo's power his someday seems to be the same, but as we see as the story progresses, that's clearly not his true goal. He takes over Ichigo multiple times, but every time it happens, it's to keep Ichigo safe or it's something forced by others.
Comparing it to Asta's demon, Liebe doesn't get a personality until the most recent arc, and he just doesn't have a goal. Liebe is the definition of plot battery for the MC. Unless Tabata does something really good with Liebe in the story to come, he's going to end up in the same boat as Kurama.
"Ichigo what a complete amateur you are!"
White is basically a critique of ichigo's character😂
Death Note: Desu nôto: Chinmoku (2007)
Silence is Golden!
This is well done
Killing off one of the best detectives in such a well thought out plan done in the best executable way possible is simply
...brilliant writing !!
After the second half not living up to the legacy of the show's brilliant writing,light's loss in the second half was purely childish and non-sensical ,it is like they wanted to get to the point without the proper logical build-up and conclusion to Light's downfall and death..
It is a good idea ..but the explanation of it and light's loss was so illogical in the second half
But so far this episode is still perfect and well written without the context of the ending .
If death note ended here i would have given this show a perfect 10 ,it is still a memorable series but with a messed up ending.
Bleach: Burîchi: Ichigo Dies! Orihime, the Cry of Sorrow! (2010)
Vasto Lorde has Arrived
Words cannot describe how awesome was this most well executed action sequence in the show .Ichigo's coming back to life and in such a kingly fashion breaking all cliché of a Hero's return in the most terrifying way possible .Not only that but the ruthlessness shown by him completely changing his character his vibe and adds more mystery to his Vasto Lorde form his origins and what are possible problems he can cause if he is let loose
Prior arcs ago when White Ichigo said that he was weak ,it was because he lacked instinct .This is what he meant ,his white form being the horse him being the king and no heart being he attacks with no thought
Ruthless and Scary... The best form he has ever had .And the best form in shounen transformation.
Game of Thrones: The Spoils of War (2017)
Could have been much better if The kingslayer was killed here
Plot armour is real,and the worst part is it was so annoying to see a bunch of characters struggling to survive in the mini battle and not get killed.
The difference between this episode and the Battle of the Bastards is that in that episode There was a reason to fight ,Plot armour was used effectively .While over here a dragon can't kill 2 men running towards it?? Seriously
The plot was already thrown out of the window in this season itself we can clearly see that and now even the characters have to suffer.... by being saved
Here is where you realise that Game of Thrones was getting horrible and all the actually decent moments in this season have now been turned to shambles ,nothing feels earned ,infact it feels messed up.
