While Logan Paul’s videos are so often associated with negativity, Rubier has channeled that negativity into positivity through Toyooka. The rise of vlogs has lowered viewer expectations and caused audiences to accept an environment where their media literacy is left unchallenged. Directors like Rubier who travel the world in hopes to capture beauty and meaning now face difficulty in combating these new lowered standards.
Pretty. Odd. finds meaning in vibrant personifications of nature and small doses of reality crouched in fantasy. A psychedelic naturalism and lively effervescence spills from its 15 eclectic tracks.
I don’t think anyone truly expected 100 Thieves, especially after their midseason slump, to go on a winning streak and burn everyone to ashes. Then again, I’m pretty sure I predicted that they could make that run if they kept up momentum. And they sure did. And we never saw it coming.
'Tomb Raider' is a somewhat unfocused action-adventure film that still manages to provide some charisma. Director Roar Uthaug gets confused in a visual style that defines our realistic expectations for most of the film, but is able to make up for it with a compelling character in Lara Croft. While it won’t redefine the video game movie subgenre, it still is an entertaining film to watch.
Overall, this episode provides spectacular views on Andrew’s life. The conflict within his life is revealed through emotional scenes with intense acting. The change in mood of the episode is consistent and leaves the audience wanting to see more. His motives seem to be making more sense as the show progresses.
Ball State is known for its telecommunication program and the amazing artists it has turned out. With greats like Jim Davis and David Letterman behind us, it’s encouraging to see Cardinals still managing to produce well received content.
“The Key” is actually an interesting episode, while at the same time being confusing and pointless. There were some seeds planted that will hopefully be brought back in cool ways later on. On the other side, there were points in the episode that either could’ve been handled better (Gracie’s entrance) or didn’t need to happen at all (Negan vs. Rick).
Unlike a typical action/adventure show, Steven Universe goes the extra mile by including heartfelt characters with realistic development, excellent music, and a mysterious backstory that touches on themes of war, identity, and good and evil. All wrapped up in a colorful, imaginative, and seemingly lighthearted cartoon.
At the end of the day, season 2 of Jessica Jones delivers what you expect. More drinking, more meaningless sex, and more incredibly dark and heavy subject matter. While there was no real big bad this season, that’s okay because it isn’t the focus of this season. The season succeeds because it’s Jessica Jones. This show is emotional and not for the faint of heart. If you want to cry, check out Jessica Jones season 2. It may turn off viewers who want the normal, light-hearted Marvel.
The struggles of every character are shown in this episode. Andrew’s financial troubles along with his relationship with his mom are shown. He uses her and eventually leaves her for Norman while she waits for him to return. The interaction between the two siblings shows that the Versace company is really hurting, and this episode touches the emotional side all throughout.
Spider-man might be the world’s most-loved superhero who spans multiple generations. His deeds and actions have inspired others to take up the spider-brand, and while there as many Spider-men as I have had broken bones, these four specific, badass women stand among the upper echelon of Spider-vigilantes: Spider-Gwen, Spider-Girl, Silk, and Spider-Woman.
