It's really weird how it's always a coin toss whether an m/f ship is the most hated on the fandom or not. If it's not for something "problematic" it's because "There are already so many in canons!" like that is in any way my problem.

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience, if you go outside of AO3 and slash-centric transformative fandom spaces, het and f/f are far more popular than m/m. Maybe try reddit or some space like that? I've had some good conversations on reddit.

Most people would hesitate to admit they like Antz at all because Woody Allen is in it. Not judging, just saying...

[(Anonymous)]

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen either one. But I agreed back in the day and so did a lot of critics.

As the other anon pointed out, Antz suffers today because it stars a pedophile and no one was willing to admit that back then.

[(Anonymous)]

For me, I like A Bug's Life much better. And some of that's down to Woody Allen being in Antz. I've honestly never really cared that much for his acting (or voice-acting). Also, while I can't say I was cognizant of the molestation situation back then, he had just married his former stepdaughter (he can say he was never her stepfather, but he was a partner to Mia Farrow for a long stretch of Soon-Yi's childhood and a parent to several of Mia Farrow's other kids). But beyond all that, I just thought A Bug's Life was cuter and I really liked Dave Foley's Flik. The fact that Kevin Spacey is in it does also cast a pall on it now, but he isn't the main and plays a bad guy.

[meadowphoenix]

disagree, a bug's life has a wildly more coherent message, and frankly it's a better one. antz also has too many negatives for me: lying with no consequences, and doing more things wrong to cover your lie and that being inspiring, the lie leading to kidnapping leading to "romance", the lead hero doing barely anything active to carry the theme or move the plot and instead spending the most of the movie being a incompetent loser except when they have to build to a resolution. it's ick to me.

I would like more info on "secret bc I live in Pixar Town", this is deeply funny to me. A secret knock on a back-room door to be admitted into a secret society of people passing around DVDs of Prince of Egypt & Antz, the covers wrapped in brown paper

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, I kind of get it. Despite its flaws, Antz was trying something different and the plot and humor were aimed at an older crowd. Even ignoring the scandals, Woody Allen is the weakest part of the film unless “what if Woody Allen looked like a CG ant” was a question you really needed answered. But it’s a completely different style and tone of movie from A Bug’s Life, which is standard late 90s Disney fare.

I don't go here but I feel this. Have definitely watched historical stuff where they modernize the costumes in ways that just, make them worse and it's like nooo why would you do that :(

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen this, but had been thinking about it. The combo of modern hair + historical dress does look kind of weird, though. Like a cosplayer who didn't want to fully commit, LOL.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for making my secret! It looks so nice and you picked lovely photos of them all. :)

Details, por favor? I thought this looked okay and skimmed it last time I was in a bookstore, but I wasn't intrigued enough to buy it and now I want to know what I missed out on.

Hey, I'm sorry things have been tough for you, sending good vibes.

Random shouldn't be about what you can do for it, but what it does for you. I'm in a small fandom that doesn't receive regular shit to fangirl about, but we've got our regular frequenters and we've got those who pop in and out when they can. I don't know it every fandom is like this, but at the end of the day, it's just another way to pass time and your involvement and contribution (if you do so wish to) is up to you.

Worst comes to worst, just do some lurking and see what feels right...
