The longevity of the Sonic movies?

Sonic 3 is coming out, and alongside shadow will be premiering Amy. I'm starting to become concerned about the longevity of the new movies part of the franchise. Is this going to turn into a fast and furious thing?

With the way they're introducing new characters, it would make sense for them to have at least five movies. At this point, I don't think they're going to bring in metal Sonic because they're bringing in present day Amy and Shadow. It would be pretty screwy if they brought in metal Sonic now. Sega has done worse, I know.

I don't understand these people that are seeing Sonic frontiers and Sonic prime and thinking all is forgiven. Sega still has a lot to make up for. They're in the process of rebuilding the trust. The trust isn't rebuilt off of one mostly okay game, with a banging soundtrack, and an okay cartoon. But Sega always trips up somewhere. I found out that they were advertising Sonic with a memory loss plot, that they scrapped at the last second and left the files in so we got what was supposed to be Sonic losing his memory in the gameplay. Sega has to stop doing shit like that for the trust to be rebuilt. That was a heavy plot point that they advertised up until the very last second, and very unnecessarily disappointed a lot of people. Sonic the hedgehog 2006 flashback! They can't keep doing stuff like that but then think all is forgiven because they gave us a vocalized final boss track for the first time in 13 years.

They've already fucked these movies up with copaganda. Look up "40% of cops", by the way. You're welcome.

Anyway, I hope that the Sonic movies don't turn into a fast and furious-like thing.

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...
