Dropping a rec for Madoka Magica here.

Well, Phil does get severely depressed and try to kill himself over and over and over again in the OG loop movie.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but that's boring and depressing and not fun and I don't wanna read about it.

In Stars and Time is a good example of this.

I completely agree. I would find time loop stories so much more interesting if they actually explored the emotional and psychological after-effects of having been stuck in one. There's so much potential there, but it's almost never explored at all.

When the amount of time spent in the time loop is extremely long, it honestly bugs me a lot that the characters just go right back to being their normal selves afterwards. Shorter time loop episodes are like, okay fine whatever, but you cannot tell me that a character just lived ninety years of days stuck in a time loop and isn't deeply and irrevocably changed by the experience. Lol, no.

Usually with long-term time loop stuff, I tell myself that being in the time loop was essentially like a dream-state that felt real while the characters were in it, but afterwards their memory of it becomes hazy and unreal, and that's why they aren't deeply altered by the experience. But it still kind of bugs me how rarely time loop shenanigans are treated as genuinely traumatic and altering experiences.

i feel like television time loops do this pretty often, actually, it's movies which don't want to deal with that unless it's the point of the movie. reccing a genuinely good episode of supernatural which does this while being pretty funny: Mystery Spot.

eta: ok looking at the comment above, yeah i guess they rarely suggest long-term effects, and that would be cool. not really a problem for supernatural exactly though.

Not a classical time loop but can I recommend you Dark. It shows really well how fucked up people who know their future and can do nothing about it can get.

Lazarus Project deals with this! It's pretty much the whole premise of the show. That, and the performances are so good.

Wellll, not everything that's good is enjoyable and vice versa. I've read some books where I thought there were a significant number of flaws in the writing, plot, etc. but still liked aspects of it enough that I didn't regret reading it. But like you, mixed feelings on whether or not I'd reread it.

Media can be entertaining even if it's not technically well done. This is true of movies, TV shows, cartoons, books, comics, etc. If you read it again, you may not get the same enjoyment out of it, due to your awareness, which is fine. On the other hand, you might find that acknowledging its shortcomings allows you to actually enjoy it more. Sometimes I'm hyperattentive to everything wrong, which takes away a lot of my fun, but sometimes, if I sort of give myself permission to like something bad and just let myself experience it, it enhances the fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean I can't say I'm surprised to hear a book by Klune is not very good but I guess I'm glad it still gave you an enjoyable experience.

I mean I watch a LOT of movies that are Not Good, but that I have fun with, so... sometimes you just want to have FUN and you don't need it to be that deep?

Yeah, you'd think people would get that but no. I think the whole "angels/heaven are the real bad guys" thing might be to blame because a lot of people tend to take this as "the guys in heaven are worse so all denizens of hell must be innocent precious babies" when that's... not at all what it is.

(The whole thing reminds me of Hannibal fandom people getting their panties in a twist about certain unsavoury aspects of the characters. In a show about a murderous manipulative cannibal.)

Ideally no one would fucking threaten, lecture or harass fans or VAs ever at all.

But it is extra funny when it's because a demon in hell is a jerk.

(Pro gamer move: avoid fandoms like this.)

Idk, I think it COULD have been a good reveal if this had been something that had actually been intended from the start and had been reflected by consistent thought out writing/foreshadowing. But it wasn't because nothing about this trilogy was consistent OR well thought out so.. yeah.

They'd have to bleep it, though. No way would any broadcast network air an ad with that title.
