ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
why is it that when i watch tv or movies or video games idek the only thing i instantly notice is when the horses look incorrect or fake
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the hooves are WRONG and the fur looks WRONG THAT HORSE IS FAKE FAKE HORSE MADE OF LIES
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
— me, whenever they think they can put one over on me
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
occasionally i also notice the fakest of dogs
spiteologist
for me it's when people shoot bows and they're super obviously cgi
spiteologist
the hunger games killed me on the reg
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like when the grip didn't even make sense sometimes ??
spiteologist
yes
spiteologist
also when hey look i shot an arrow and it didn't? go the way the bow was pointed?
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like idek how that arrow isn't like turning off at a weird angle because nothing you are doing is supporting it katniss
spiteologist
(I also have a pet hate for costuming where they never give longbowmen tabs or gloves, like hey, you know that's 40+lb of pressure on a thin string on their fingers, right?)
spiteologist
mind you the hunger games movies were just Not Good at making things look real
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
this is very true
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
they were one culprit of the uncanny valley animals
spiteologist
which if i was being generous i would say was an artistic choice because ~everything is artificial in the capitol~ except i'm not and it wasn't
spiteologist
(also still not over that one shot of katniss starving in a flashback where they had done her makeup to... look like a pretty girl's makeup... which combined with her round face just made it impossible to read the scene)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
oh where she was starving attractively?
spiteologist
(because she was just like, flopping in a doorway looking sad and you were somehow meant to surmise that Honger)
spiteologist
seriously just contour her cheekbones you don't even have to make her Not Pretty
spiteologist
...huh, apparently i have untapped mines of hunger games movie salt
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it's weird because plenty of other times they were willing to go for like the gross look
spiteologist
yeah, a lot of. Choices were made
spiteologist
(also the choice to use shakycam for all the action scenes in like, the one action series with a diegetic reason for it to be shot clearly)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
OH YES
spiteologist
i legit left the cinema like "if i had not read the books i would have 0 idea who killed who at any given point"
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
that was literally me because i hadn't read it when i saw the first one and i was very confused
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
but interested enough to actually try and read them to become less confused
spiteologist
"except that the weird uncanny valley cgi dogs ate cato"
spiteologist
i think i'm just still disappointed because thg would have made such a good film series if they'd just. done it better.
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
yeah it suffered i think for a lot of the details they left out
spiteologist
I actually don't know how the Mockingjay film was, though, to be fair, I never saw it
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
lol there were 2
spiteologist
and i am the weirdo whose favourite book in the series is Mockingjay
spiteologist
(i am here for the musings on war and child soldiers and trauma please give me more of that, dystopian ya fiction)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i actually can't clearly remember the mockingjay movies
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like i can't remember if my favourite parts of the book actually made it in or not
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
my favourite parts being some of the fucked up traps they used in the capitol lol
spiteologist
i do know they lost the part where katniss was deaf and i was like >:|
spiteologist
let characters be permanently hurt/disabled in war media pls thnks kay
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
oh yeah they removed that and i think peeta got to keep both legs in the movie
spiteologist
heaven forbid disabled people have representation in action films
spiteologist
i am a pillar of salt
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
lol watch me subject myself to them soon just to like liveplurk about all the things that were bad that i forgot about
spiteologist
please
spiteologist
i'll be out here like
