I forgot all about this secret. Now I'm just sad that we already had all the discussion about it during the last week. I would still very much like an actual Macbeth movie or show, though.

I am going to call him Willie Wagglestaff FOREVER, thank you.

Idk if you do Doctor Who or audio dramas, but there's one in the Ninth Doctor range called "The Curse of Lady Macbeth" coming out this month that's apparently based on the actual history. It's not out yet, but I'm super excited to see how they handle that concept.

Well, gosh. Aren't you edgy? Shakespeare must be shivering in his grave at your utter owning of him.

SIGH. It's a play, not history. Get. Over. It.

I've found ones that beat out anime fics.

Any east Asian novel where there isn't an official translation yet (just fan translations) seems to have a LOT of fanfic that reads just as machine translated as some of the novels. Like, it'll seem fine from the summary and at least have a half-interesting premise, and then I read and it's soooo grating.

I have no idea how to even describe it.

Do you think anime-based fic is worse than fic based on other types of media? Or is this just Sturgeon's Law in action?

(Admittedly, I'm not in any anime fandoms, but I'm very interested in how people perceive writing quality of fic in different fandoms.)

[(Anonymous)]

I love anime's trashfire fanfics. I liked most the ones written by people who had no access to the source material, and only the repeated fandom memes, which just went off in such weird direction, most of which were written in the geocities or earlier days.

[(Anonymous)]

It's only because anime, unlike other fandoms, is actually still popular with the kids

[(Anonymous)]

Is it really an anime problem or a 'popular franchise' problem? Supernatural and the Marvel universe have a ton of garbage rivaling some of the shit I've seen for Naruto and Inuyasha.

[(Anonymous)]

I've also noticed that the best and most kudosed fics in anime fandoms are generally worse than the best fics in game or film fandoms. It doesn't have anything to do with the size of the fandom, some anime series have tens of thousands of fics. It may have something to do with the age of the authors, or it may not, but it's still sad that there is so little quality reading material for some of my favourite anime...

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience, it's usually the more popular the franchise, the bigger number of lousy fics there are.

I think shows like this SHOULD be more planned in advance. And I say this as someone who didn't even hate the ending that much, probably because at that point I just wasn't that invested in the story lol. It just feels disrespectful to the audience when the writers keep making things up as they go in a serialized shows until the ending is a big mess.

My admittedly cynical take is that the author was seriously dumb enough to think that nobody would notice the glaring similarities and is now backpedaling like crazy and framing it as a representation issue because she thinks that makes her look like less of a lazy writer and possible plagiarist.

Spiderman has always been one of the least interesting superheroes to me. Whatever his age at the moment, there is just nothing new or interesting about him. I get he's a nice role model for a lot of nerdy guys, but he just doesn't work for me.

I think Brosnan is good (although I'd rank him 4th out of the Bonds) but what I like about him is that he doesn't go full cheese, all the time, the way Moore did. He has a little bit of steel, especially in Goldeneye.

Media that surprised you

[philstar22]

Have you watched anything that you expected to either be neutral on or not particularly enjoy, but you decided to give it a try? And then it turned out you actually really enjoyed it and it was really well done?


Two shows this year have been that for me. The first was Fantasy Island. Watched the first episode randomly and loved it.

And then yesterday I finally watched the pilot for Star Trek: Prodigy, expecting to be meh on it given that I hated Lower Decks, only rarely like animated shows, and was really only watching for Janeway. But it is actually really enjoyable in spite of being a cartoon and a kids show.
