Today is a day I never thought I would ever see... And am just as emotional since the first time the series ended... The finale of bleach, a series I've grown up with and loved all my life... It's over... For now and it was incredible

I really can't wait for everyone feeding themselves into Gen AI photo suites to start complaining that their likeness is being used without their consent... Yeah, you agreed to it the second you loaded your image into it ... STOP USING AI ART

So, I just am finishing Wakanda Forever for the second time (a thread) ... My first watch was in the theaters...my original feelings of the movie was quite harsh. I went into the movie with negative feelings, I am not a fan of Letitia Wright and was devastated by the loss of Chadwick Boseman...

I was looking forward to this movie the least, and frankly enjoyed it more than I was expecting. These later MCU films are more than super hero films, they represent more, which is what super films should be and do. And this one did it so well, I just didn't want to accept it back then.

Primarily a political war piece, where innocent's were involved, but the super heros weren't there until the final fight. I now understand the length, and although it still feels long, I no longer feel it is too long. I no longer feel they tried to fit too much.

I felt that way because I wasn't happy with the direction. I now know, that it needed what was in it to show the growth and story of Shuri into the new Queen, and the grief she felt ... We were getting a new origin story for an old hero.

Going into it trying to be open minded, I am not going to say I retract with what I have said in the past, but I will admit I was wrong to some extent. This was a film about loss and grief. A film about vengeance and revenge, and what all those things lead too.

This was a film advertised as a super hero film, and it wasn't one. With it being 2 hours and 45 mins, it is currently 2nd longest with Endgame being first. There wasn't much super heroing. Yes there were action and fight scenes, and an attack on a people, but it was...

At the time I was shutoff from something new, and a character who represents a lot being portrayed by someone who has had some negative views... It was amid the pandemic and she was outspoken anti vax, and has shared some bigoted anti LGBT remarks...

So when she was made the new black panther, I was not a fan of that, and wanted someone else to take the reigns. With that I truly didn't give the movie a chance, and was shut off from any emotion within the story of the movie.

Why would anyone go to a tattoo studio who uses AI to make their fliers and graphics... You're artists, your entire job is making graphics... A sample of your art will get me onto the shop, not some AI slop
