Hello everyone, I am Venus Brown. Welcome to my RU-vid channel. I have been here for quite some time, but mostly watched videos and sometimes still do. I am adding more tv reactions and reviews. I have a Blast From the Past segment, but haven't added much to it yet. I will always add occasional personal content of things occuring in my life, events going on, household projects and such. I also added game play, but will be moving that to another channel called Venus Plays Badly www.youtube.com/@venusplaysbadly. Still most of this channel I intend to use for entertainment purposes. I have another channel that is now called Diverse Spectrums www.youtube.com/@diversespectrums, which has mostly vlogs, personal content and shorts on it. The website blog is diversespectrums.com/blog
For context, during the 1990s the UK, which aNorthern Ireland is a part of, had Section 28, a law very similar to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" laws. Over the Irish border in the republic of Ireland, homosexuality was only decriminalised in 1993.
Yeah, the "don't ask don't tell" laws were an issue when I was in the military in the 90's. Some of my friends and coworkers had to cover that up just to serve. If someone wanted to be a jerk they could have ratted them out and had them chaptered out of the Army. We even had one guy claim he was gay so he could get out. Now Florida pulling this "don't say gay" mess, it just feels like we're going backwards. All so some people can score political points, legislating people back in the closet.
4:56 When L first see his solid-proof about the Shinigami he fells out his chair in complete shock quote-unquote. But this isn't because he isn't actually scared of the Shinigami because it confirms all his theories were true as well completely solving the Los Angeles BB Murder Case in which a character called Beyond Birthday was born with the shinigami eyes.
2:52 L only show his face to the Kira Task Force after narrowing down the people he at least trust this is due to Light forcing L to reveal himself to gain back the trust of police. Because before that Kira had set up a battle between the police and L where they both investigate together.
3:13 L gives Light a deductive reasoning test in which he tricks him with a card that was fake that Light didn't write but L acted like that Light is the one who made it up. and Light doesn't fall for L's plan for trying to make Light upset by creating fake cards these card being that Light used to trick L before so. Light does see through L's plan here but it doesn't really mean anything nor would it ha e mattered if Light got upset anyway. However this does corner Light into working on the task force so that L can monitor most of his movements without using surveillance like cameras and wiretaps. But this work in Light's favor as well and is able to confirm L's identity through his father.
7:34 L then corners Light and straight up admits he is the Real L to him in public after saying his name was Hideki Ryuga at the exam a famous japanese popstar and actor. But this is for one so that if Light tries to Kill L and uses the name Hideki Ryuga and accidentally thinks of the popstar who he did see on the TV while under surveillance with his sister Sayu Yagami then he would kill the pop star and L would know that Light is responsible for killing the popstar. because only Light would think that L name was Hideki Ryuga it's also good because if this L who might not even be the real one dies then everyone would immediately suspect and know that Light is in fact Kira and then the Real L in the background could just get Light pretty easily.
I wonder if L could try some other similar setup that Light wouldn't suspect, to draw him out. Like to kill some other person that only Light would know about.
5:34 Light kills Lind L.Tailor on the TV without a second thought and then the Real L uses this to deduce that Kira is real and is hiding in the Kanto Region of Japan and eventually ends up cornering Light due to this later. Light admits that he made an emotional mistake here and I don't blame him for not expecting someone like L to exist but is still L's victory as L is also battling something the unknown as well which is the Death Note which L has no knowledge of what is capable of.
5:15 Light tried to kill a news anchor that called him Evil without knowing his background he also tried to kill L. because killing criminals to not be around is okay. But how he went about it and took action into his own hands wasn't good.
Light originally kill people during his off hours from school and immediately gave away the fact that he was the most intelligent student as well as the Shinjuku Killer mistake he made earlier on which he did not know how the Death Note work to begin with.
Thing is, although his dad was relieved, sneaking into Carly’s room in the middle of the night is also massively inappropriate. I can’t imagine she’d have reacted much better if she’d woken up with him touching her blankets like that As for guidance councillors, like Proms, I think schools might have them now. They didn’t back in the early 90s, and this is pretty much the midway point
Oh yes, sneaking into her room would be very inappropriate. I just felt like his dad would be even more concerned if he thought his kid was going after young kids.
My stomach hurts from laughing at the King Tony dream. That's very poignant with Labour about to win the election by a huge margin this side of the pond.
There are no dorm rooms in UK unis. You have university accommodation ("halls of residence" - private single rooms), and these tend to be used mainly by freshers (first years) and post-grads. Most everybody else rents a private house (single rooms) with 3 or 4 friends. I've no idea why on earth anyone would want to share a room with anybody.
Okay, so I'm not sure all universities are this way here, but I know some freshman get assigned 2 person rooms in a dorm. Not really what they want, just the arrangements for that school. After freshman year you might be able to get arrangements with a sorority, otherwise either rent a house or apartment. Many of the apartments near the college are like I described (at least near where I live) common areas, plus individual rooms for each student.
So Netflix made the science of the book 5 minutes (it’s basically half of the book almost) and moved everything to a western setting from China, reducing the Chinese cultural revolution part as well to a short intro. And from this episode it’s book 2 who knows why the rush. Of course they needed to be political correct : girl boss main character, black character, etc.. They talk about Chinese censorship a lot. This is under western censorship not lightly. The irony is a thing. The Chinese tv adaptation is capturing the book faithfully. It’s on RU-vid. Quite funny. The ship scene is not really an important part of the book, it’s the ending scene of it. Yes, it concludes there but it’s not the scene what’s horrible the decision is. What they turned back is: the book is not about the action it’s about the decisions before the actions. And the implications of the actions. ☝️ Even the solution of 3-Body Problem is shorter here. This video after just shows how much they don’t understand the task they should adapt. That’s why we need authors like Neil Gaiman’s Sandman who knows it. Not them who blow up Game of Thrones ending… They didn’t need any bloodshed to be dark. What we did to us in the past made the book dark. Then what she chose in the Chinese scientific institute too. Then people do choose to follow her. That’s dark. And here is the end of the book 1. Science is stopped. We lost. They won. No spoiler: this is not a positive series. It’s not building on humanity’s strength. Dark Forest is the title of the next book…. It won’t end better. And that’s the name of the next theory, after Three-Body Problem. Netflix: they made a version where you don’t have to worry about using your brain cells… the book was too dense? “Let’s translate it for our viewers who we think are dumb.”
Yeah, I think watching a lot of the inside the episodes they talk about how much they changed from the book and shifted the story, characters, a bunch of stuff a lot. One of them says they hope it will encourage more people to read the books. I will probably try to find the series on Audible first, it's just easier for me to listen to the audio versions, but I'm definitely interested. I was actually worried that it my be too far over my head, when I started the series, but it's definitely made at more a laymen's level.
@@venusbrownreacts I would check on booktubers what they say about the audible. This is translated by Ken Liu for you. (I read a lot in English but a translation? I read it in my native language.) And I didn’t hear anyone yet who used Audible here. Told you: this is science heavy and not character focused at all. And not female character focused totally. A lot said it’s not writing good female characters hence the censorship. Actually it does but they are Chinese characters. The female characters are not big mouth “I’m the boss” types but silent one. Surprise: not the western culture is the center of the world and this is Asian. But it doesn’t matter at all. It’s not about some heroes. The characters should represent their decisions or the state of humanity in the given situation/century etc…. Because now the time will go fast…. As for changing things… of course they had to, different media formats. But then again: good examples are One Piece (the story itself is changed on some bases but in a way that the moral lesson etc are the same) and the mentioned Sandman. It’s considered faithful adaptation no matter Neil Gaiman’s changes, and that includes skin color, gender change too. ☝️If you didn’t watch that? Do it. With Dead Boy Detectives those are one of the best Netflix’s adaptations. And as Audible Neil’s Sandman comic has a very special audiobook adaptation too with multiple readers. He took care of that too. So you change things… but there are smart ones and you fail miserably as you can see at Bladerunner. It’s the adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? And it became one of the best scifi movie yet it has a ton of changes from a well known author. The same author wrote Minority Report and no matter Spielberg and Tom Cruise they couldn’t make a classic movie we remember forever. They failed the adaptation. See?
I was so use to seeing college dorms where they're rooming 2 students in one room. Then I remembered my brother in law was in an apartment where each student had a separate room and everyone shared a kitchen, dining living area.
Okay, and aren't some of those complaints justified? They're both far away, disconnected from each other's "lives" yet the British royals and government have a heavy influence over Welsh and Scottish lives, homeland, regulations etc. Same as your comment about people in Alabama complaining about people in Washington. Very undue influence over their lives, while not really understanding their lives, and their experiences. Those dynamics will result in some justified conflicts.
Thank you. I am glad you're enjoying them. Having a heck of a time trying to get the sound right when we're talking. There's got to be a better way to isolate multiple voices.
Don’t worry, actual girlfriend relationships are eventually enjoyed by the boys, however briefly. In: ‘The Inbetweeners Movie’ which was released in 2011. The boys enjoy, or at least endure, an eventful vacation together in Greece.
Ask the people of Hong Kong how living under the Chinese Communist Party is going? Have you seen world news from the last few years? The protest for democracy in Hong Kong was a big thibg. Thats really what "decolonialism" ends up being. Replacing a progressive & benevolent empire with a 10 times more brutal and monstrous dictatorship.
I get that permitting an oppressive regime is a huge problem in many countries. Colonialism has its own problems that are oppressive in other ways. That colonizing empire believes they are being benevolent by encroaching on other countries. Sometimes that encroachment may be genuinely beneficial to other countries, but often it is much more complex than that, bringing other oppression, striping away independence (as do other oppressive governments), striping away language, tradition, and culture, and enforcing the colonizer's language, traditions and culture. Top that off the colonizing empire is often ignorant to many of the realities for those indigenous to the country they are colonizing. Maybe some better middle ground that ensures this benevolence while permitting more independence of that country, ensures governing within the country that is representative of those who are indigenous to the country, and does not enforce policies and practices that strip language, culture, and tradition.
A reaction that contains the entire video violates copyright laws and fair use. So you're idea is wrong and illegal. Go take it up with the authorities.
Short ties like that were seen as a sign of non-comformity, adhering to the rules of wearing the tie but rebelling just enough to be perceieved as ''individual''. Long ties were always seen as ''nerdy'' and uncool.
Yeah, I think ties here were just uncool in school generally, but that was in public schools without uniforms. I put my kids in a charter school with uniforms, but no required ties. It was kaki pants or shorts, and a green or blue shirt with the school logo. My kids still didn't like it, even though the requirements were a lot more lenient than some school uniforms.
Thank you. I will be putting up 2 more episodes, then taking a break to react to 3 Body Problem. I will come right back to Death note after that. I think it's an 8 week gap.
@@venusbrownreacts i Hope WE will See IT all ... Death note is Just next level Anime i can Tell u after that maybe some movies or Others Animes which are very good to react
Sorry about that. At the time I was trying to play it through without pausing, recording the show and reaction on one video, cause lining up the video, reaction and audio was difficult for me. Plus, I had several times I had paused things, muted things, and forgot to turn them back on once I started up again, so I was trying to avoid that also.
if your husband likes ridiculous shows , he would love " The League of Gentlemen " aired from 1999 - 2017 . its so messed up . i cannot even give examples without spoilering
That sounds fabulous to me. I know when we try to add requirements like that in American schools they tend to be not that great, not what anyone really intended. They added requirements for a financial or economic class in high school here, and from what I've been able to tell it doesn't come close to covering the kinds of financial information most people really need to know for everyday life.
Thank you for telling me that. I didn't realize that. Even watching shows that show the transition to 6th form without uniforms, I don't think it occurred to me. Probably doesn't help that some of the shows I've watched are about fictional magic, heros and always in uniform.
Going purely on the strength of the legendary "chip" scene, the English dub absolutely stands up to the original Japanese dub and PEOPLE DO LOVE THE ENGLISH DUB SINCE THE ENGLISH VOICE ACTORS DID A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE! SOME OF THE ANIME PURISTS OUT THERE THAT DEMAND DEATH NOTE BE ONLY IN ENGLISH SUB ARE JUST RIDICULOUS SINCE THIS DUB IS NOTHING LIKE ORIGINAL JAPANESE DUB OF OTHER CLASSICS LIKE DRAGON BALL Z, Sean the voice actor for DRAGON BALL Z did a brilliant role and the English voice actor for L put a brilliant shift in! W English dub for Death Note! THE END!
It's interesting to note Harry apparently said in his book Spare that Catherine and William encouraged him to wear the costume, while others who knew all of them are quoted as saying they didn't. I think the show struck a nice balance in that regard. Going with a middle ground where W&K laughed when Harry picked it up but not outright confirming one way or another. The show can only speculate when everyone's saying something completely different to each other. 😂 I like the way they struck a balance between the two brothers. I think it was done nicely. I agree with you on Olivia and Claire's roles in this episode, you would think any doubts being spoken about continuing on as The Crown would be the other way around. It's interesting they went with this direction. 🤔 If anything, maybe they could've got the youngest Elizabeth from the Ritz to voice those doubts instead? Regardless, I would've liked to see all of them in a scene together. But maybe that would've been too jarring. 😂😅 As for the Queen's funeral prep, I wouldn't be surprised if in reality they did so over the course of many years. Changing and revising certain aspects. But maybe for the sake of the show they decided to portray it as all happening later on in her life over a short period instead just to get it all condensed in one episode. 🤔 Either way, I thought the show was rounded off nicely. I loved the Queen's final interaction with Philip, his line about how, "it won't matter, because we'll be down here" --very bittersweet moment. Then the final scene, sort of showing the Queen's funeral but not quite, while also having all Elizabeth's together at the end. Just wonderful. I know for sure tears were shed here also. I really missed this show once it was all said and done. 🥲 I know for sure if they do end up making any sort of spin off or continue on with other Royals, I'll be interested in checking it out. 😃 In the meantime, it was great to watch and hear your thoughts on this final season. It would be nice if someday they release a DVD box set of all the seasons together. Instant buy from me for sure. ☺️
As far as I know, Dodi and Diana didn't know each other long enough for Diana to have been pregnant with his child. From my perspective, it seemed like Mohamed Al-Fayed was grasping at all these different ideas because of the way he lost his son. I'm sure it was hard to ever try and cope with so perhaps all of what he tried to do and advocate for after the fact was the result of that. I could be completely wrong though! Getting to see William spend time with Catherine and her family to then go support his own at the end was a great way to round off the episode in my opinion. 😊 But the Matt Smith cameos alongside Claire Foy were easily my favorite parts. I remember freaking out seeing that even though we already got hints of them in the trailers. Great stuff! 🤩
I imagine it would be really hard not to grasp at straws in his situation. I think, as parents we are all always learning as we go, and it's so easy to slip in the parenting department over and over. It's enough that we either blame ourselves for many terrible things (during and after), or try to justify ourselves with any actions of others that might have somehow influenced what occurred. Lot's of guilting ourselves and others for every little thing. I keep talking to my family about "mommy wars," just so they understand the kind of guilting and judgement that occurs from other mom's, parent's, and even non-parents. Yet, that doesn't even touch on the self deprecation that occurs in ourselves.
Even watching this episode again through your reaction, it's still so sad and uncomfortable to watch. 😢 Poor Margaret. No one should have to go through any of that. 💔 I know _many_ tears were shed watching this episode the first time. I especially remember starting to sob at the end when they switched young Margaret with her older counterpart. Such a well done episode. I can see why this is a lot of people's favorite of the season. On a lighter note, I don't know if you found this out, but they brought back young child Margaret from season 1 to play her here as she had reached the perfect age to play this role. I think it worked out wonderfully, she looks so similar to Venessa Kirby that I can totally buy that was what Kirby's Margaret looked like when she was younger. Same with Viola Prettejohn looking like an even younger Claire Foy. Just brilliant casting all around. 😁👏🏻 I also remember reading Venessa Kirby sang the ending credits song for this episode, which if that's correct, is a very beautiful way to end the episode and rounding off Margaret's character from the show. 🥲
I got teared up just remembering the episode from your comment! It really was done so well and I appreciate the wonderful work Venessa Kirby did at creating a young Margaret.
Finally catching up on these reactions! 😃👍🏻 Poor William getting dog piled in this episode. 😂 I completely see where Kate and his girlfriend (at the time) were coming from though. Unwanted attention from creeps is the worst. 😓 As an aside, I really loved the Christmas vibes in this episode. ☃️ It did confuse me when it showed Diana sorta "meeting" Catherine...when that seemingly didn't happen in real life? I remember in their engagement interview, Kate talked about how she would've loved to have met Diana, as she was such a big inspiration for her.
Yep, sometimes I need to remind myself that these show producers sometimes take a little more dramatic licence with their stories than reality contains. ;)
Not yet, I decided to watch these first. There are several tv shows that I have watched the UK version, but didn't watch the US version. Not sure why, just preference and whatever my family watches mostly. I think I will try to get a season done and then look over the US shows and movies, and try not to get ahead of whatever I've watched on this series.
That's one of my concerns, though I haven't given it a chance. Did the same with the Sherlock Holmes series. Maybe someday I'll watch it, but not today.
@@dannystruggles2158 It's genuine garbage. God knows what they were thinking remaking the inbetweeners. It was made in Britain for a reason, because that's how British kids actually are at high school. The US one is so unrealistic. They only made one season. Lol.
