I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I've read the sequels and they don't seem that bad.

But did you SEE the sequel? In all it's Lighter and Softer glory?

That it's Lighter and Softer doesn't make the sequel bad, just different.

I'm not saying it's good, but there are reasons for that aside from that it's lighter and softer. Mostly the slight meandering of the plot in the second act, the bizarreness of the overall plot and villain - From the storytelling standpoint the decision to make Martin the villain is actually a pretty decent one, and he's entertaining enough, but the setup behind the whole thing is just weird and makes turns humans from a vast, looming threat into... well. A puppy for the villain to pet. His motivations are good and he serves as a strong foil, but putting everything into place took a bit of narrative stretching considering the last movie, and writing it all down to 'oh, he was just brain damaged' reduces the impact of the message.

Lighter and softer can work for sequels. An American Tale, Lion King Two, Monsters University, Ice Age sequels, Mulan 2, and the third Cinderella movie for example.

He's only interested in unicorns. So, one third, at most.

So Voldemort has a unicorn fetish? Eh, not nearly weird enough.

@Gwen. Glad I could provide a little entertainment. grin

Why are the Touhou soundtracks so catchy? Even/espeically in chiptune form?

Been listening to Final Fantasy rearrangements, the final boss theme from the second DFF, at the moment.

At least my mom is on vacation, so I'll just leave this for a bit. tongue

It's just weird because my second monitor is smaller than my main, so all you see on it is mostly boobs and not much else.
