The end of the movies, the end of the franchise

Last year, the final installment to the neon Genesis Evangeline franchise was released in the movie 3.0 + 1.0

It's hard to believe that such a series has finally come to an end, and we might not see something like this happen very often. A lot of franchises are locked into basically in this contracts, with they don't come out with new content their copyright is up for grabs. We see this with pokémon, dragon Ball z, and many others.

Or at least I should say we won't see this that often with such influential franchises. It didn't take me long to see that a lot of fans had a hard time coming to terms with the end of this franchise, as one definite ending is a hard way to wrap up this entire franchise that's older than a lot of us.

Even though that's the end of the mainland franchise, I highly doubt that's the end of the entire Neon Genesis multiverse. 

At the same time, a death has occurred. The end of Neon Genesis is something of a death. Anno has retired.

The fact that he retired says a lot. There are so many people in his industry that died in their seats, and so many people who are still working into their old age. Anno retiring is practically monumentous.

I still haven't seen the movies, because we're a long time they acted like they didn't want to bring the shit over to the United States. I don't even know where I can watch the movies, but I would definitely like to.

Addressing the fandom really quick, neon Genesis evangeline didn't have the worst fandom but they were still pretty bad. A lot of faux psychology students, racist as hell. As time went on, the fandom became more open-minded, and I feel like a lot of maturity has come out in the end of the franchise. But still, there's some very unexplainably defensive fans of this franchise that we're going all out for no reason. One of the worst franchises to do anything non-white in. I'm not here to protect the fictional children so I'm not going to talk about anything anyone might consider "disagreeable" in terms of fan work. 

They were a lot of hides and lows. A lot of drama and rumors. And now we've come out on the other side of it. We live in a post Neon Genesis Evangeline world.

healthy choice Cafe steamers grilled chicken marinara with parmesan

I'll skip the packaging review, because you already know that part from the two previous blog post. My opinion about that hasn't changed. This is also another regular purchase for me. the overall packaging of the meal is great quality, but the parmesan amount can vary. Be aware that they skimp on the parmesan. The chicken is tender, and the noodles and broccoli have a slight firmness. It's all Greek to Me. The sauce in this one is on the weak side, in my opinion but still flavorful. something I'm noticing so far with a lot of these microwave dinners is that they're not full dinners because they focus on quality over quantity, but the quantity is was lacking. It's also the same price as the others: $2.99, on sale. Normally, $3.99 or $4.99. it won't get you full, but it can hold you over for an hour or two. I would say it's worth two or three, but not four.

I don't think miraculous was trying to be sailor moon but they have a lot in common

Here are some parallels between miraculous ladybug and Sailor Moon! Daft, clumsy teenager that believes that she's a loser when she's actually loved by everyone.  Unnecessary unhealthy and toxic relationship practices due to secret identities.  Talking animal partners. Queer coded characters! Although Sailor Moon was way more out loud about it! I don't know what France is doing. Characters lose their items and swap powers. We love power swaps, though! Love interest getting shot down and trying to deny their feeling, which makes everything worse. I will say that on Marinette's end, she never really got shot down. She just didn't know how to handle being a friend. Some of the characters can never fall in love, because of their duties. Miraculous wrote this in as a very self-imposed rule when they don't follow the boundaries that they set for the show in any other case. In Miraculous, relationships can work if people make better decisions. In Sailor Moon, the sailo...

Racism, Tim Burton, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

A lot of people have forgotten about this, but a years ago, Tim Burton said that he doesn't cast black people because race has nothing to do with the context of any of his movies.  I think this happened after Beetlejuice 1988. Black people were casted as football players in the afterlife. That makes sense. Most football players are black. We figured out decades later why that's problematic with the Kaepernick situation. Entertainment is all black people are allowed to have so when an entertainer has a political opinion it's easy to tell them to shut up. "Dance, monkey! Dance!" narrative. But with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice having that soul train scene after he said it, the context tells me that black people are allowed to exist in Tim Burton's aesthetic if they are not stereotypical singing dancing caricatures.  A lot of (white) people will argue that Tim Burton isn't racist because he casted a Latina to play Astrid. The problem with that is a lot of Mexicans...
