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.

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking...

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...

Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp

 A lot of you probably didn't notice, but Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp went down yesterday because the dsn a and AAA records were attacked. I don't have a full understanding of what that means, but given that the domains became available for purchase, I can make context clues based on the information I already have with my short time as a self-proclaimed internet historian. I'm also the type of person that is more interested in why this happened because what happened is a lot simpler to explain. What's not going to be so simple to explain but the media is going to try to explain anyway are the Pandora papers. The long records of a former employee recording all of Facebook's wrongdoings. I was one of the many watching the highlights of Facebook's hearing, but I wasn't watching them in full like many others. If you weren't involved at all, but you're getting involved now, you're about to learn a lot from the summaries of the Pandora...
