Legends of Tomorrow: Star City 2046 (2016)
The future is in flux? Whose future?
Yeah, I know that we are watching a show set in a universe where people who wanna play dress up and fight criminals are a normal thing, where the death come back to life and where magic exists, but that does not mean that we need to tolerate lazy writing that makes no sense. I would even understand if time travel was a one-time only thing for this show, but having its whole store based on time travel and just making stupid mistakes like these makes the show completely unwatchable.
First of all, why would the future be in flux, but the past not, when they obviously changed the past in million different ways by now, just by traveling to it? Let's take the very first episode of the show. The Legends go to 1975, where Sara Lance beats up a couple of guys in a bar. If Sara Lance did not go back to 1975, she wouldn't have been able to beat those guys in the bar, so she changed the past. Thus, the past is in flux as well. If it it wasn't, she would only be able to observe it, not interact with it in any way.
And second of all, how is 2046 the future? Whose future is it? Yeah, the team is from 2016, so from their point of view, 2046 is in the future, but Rip Hunter is from the 22nd century, so from his point of view, 2046 is in the past. Actually, Rip Hunter isn't even born in 2046 yet. So, if 2046 is the future and it is in flux does that mean that Rip Hunter's very existance is in flux too? I can't believe that Rory, who warned Snart that he may "flash himself out of existance", made more sense that the writers of this episode. And Rory is supposed to be the stupid one.
And finally, let's say that, somehow, the period between 2016 and the 22nd century is in flux and, no matter what they do in it, it gets cemented in the 22nd century, thus making sure that Rip Hunter can be born and can get back in time to reassemble the team. Then, why would Rip Hunter warn Rory about being careful not to create a paradox? It shouldn't matter at all, if this time period is in flux, but the 22nd century is not and Rip Hunter's existance is certain.
All in all, I would say that the writers just went for the cliche "ohhh the timeline is in flux" and the random "this point in time is in flux, but this one is fixed", just because they know they can create drama around these naratives more easily. But underestimating the viewers' capacity to get annoyed by this lazy writing will eventually reduce the viewership of this show to dust.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Great movie in so many ways
A movie that is beautifully directed, with a great acting crew, fresh duologue's, that is fun to watch and difficult to understand completely. It is different from many other movies in a lot of ways: from the nonlinear narrative to the unpredictable plot twists, it manages to keep you glued to the TV and is never boring. Quentin Tarantino's fans should definitely see this movie, since it may as well be his best one so far. And if you are not, than maybe this is the movie that will make you one And don't forget to read about all it's different meaning s and hidden messages. :D I won't say nothing more, in order not to reveal same spoilers.
