Even tho with him And his many meats He was hungry for still yet more He scoured the land for all the meat He could roll up and engorge And then The poor townspeople saw him And his might Took him in as their own god Oh! Blood will be paid! Sacrifices made! To the only! Meatball man!

My theory is that the real Adrien is dead. Yes, dead. And I have proof. Gabriel said, “I lost your mother, and I don’t want to lose you.” This I not great proof. But I have more. Adrien doesn’t remember what he wants to become. Sense he is 15. Maybe his parents have been controlling him for a decade. They created a sentimoster to “alive” him again. Gabriel also keeps Adrien in his house all the time. And overprotective over him to keep him safe/alive.
HTTYD 3 is definitely not the same theme throughout the movies. It didn't even start with "This is Berk..." where we get the introduction of what happened in the past few years, what is going on now etc. They forgot everything that didn't fit into their story. Why did we not see new species of dragons in the Hidden World? The Hidden World is exactly that, a hidden habitat where there should be species that haven't been discovered yet. I was very disappointed that the Hidden World introduction didn't leave me in awe like Valka's nest did. We saw a lot of new species in Valka's nest flying around. Also Toothless just leaving Hiccup for the Light Fury goes against everything we know of Toothless. Also killing the Deathgrippers was wrong. I wanted to see Hiccup free them (remove the muzzles)
So fake. So what's next? Gabriel gets ahold of all of the miraculous except for the ladybug and black cat, and turns them into rings? And use it to transfer extra powers to his akumatized victim? 🙄🙄
a little late but I love the fact that you actually list an actual country. Every other reviewer just says Africa. do you know how different west, east south and north Africa is? thank you for actually name dropping Kenya.
I’m not on the spectrum, or at least I think I’m not. But either way I can really relate to not having the motivation to partake in activities that aren’t about my special interests, my heart goes out to all autistic people
What's gonna happen when Steven dies tho? Are they just gonna go back, cause I wouldn't be surprised, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Blue Diamond had mostly changed by then, she has be proven to have empathy and clearly had changed quite a lot since Pink "died". Would still like to see others view on this idea.
Maybe just MAYBE white diamond is the image of “perfect” and wants the other people to be like her and Rebeca even said that white is like a “super ego” and blue and yellow are “egos” while pink is a (I forgot what it’s named)which means pink is like a toddler, or a bit like a boomer, she dose not want to change her idea of saving the earth while yellow and blue the egos try to satisfy the want (pink) as much as she can. Super egos if you don’t know is like an adult, feeling guilt for something the want did or in this case what pink did, the egos are like teens trying to satisfy the want as I said b. Pink is basically the opposite of white.
"take the easy way out" lmao in what way is starting and _leading_ a war easier than sitting behind a control panel while earth is slowly drained of its resources?
The fungus that takes over insects brains and turns them to zombies pretty much is the Cordeceps(not sure how to spell it) mushroom. Its spores infect the insects brain after inhaled, taking control of their mind and thoughts and making them attack other insects to spread the spores and infection. Its also a bit of a hive mind when fungus strands connect across a wide enough area
Another reason the better part of Russia is missing might be answered by two simple yet terrifying words from the Gundam franchise: "Colony Drop". One of those punched a good-sized hole in Australia in not only the main timeline, but several other timelines as well. Give it a look, it's absolutely horrendous.
How do I get one? I want my own. I will feed it to help it recharge and I will be her best friend.

Taking notes. As someone who is trying to accurately write an autistic character, seeing someone go in-depth about autism in media and the accuracy depicting it really helps. Thank you for this video
The Frybo episode scared my brother so much the first time we watched Steven Universe. I have to straight up skip the episode all together whenever we rewatch the series because it gave him nightmares.
I realize I'm super late, but... I feel like the one thing more terrifying than the idea that the gems overthrew or rebelled against their creator species is that maybe they just... outlasted them. Something happened-- a war, a pandemic, a disaster-- something that made it impossible for the creator species to recover. And eventually, the very last one died, and only the Gems were left. And then they just kept right on going, doing what they were made to do, long after the people they were meant to do it for, were gone. Somehow that is far more eerie to me. Sentient automation continuing their jobs, even if nobody knows why anymore.
Its really sad how other people think of thomas. They always remember the more childish era of the show. But if you do a little research, you will see how amazing this show is. The first seasons, the rws books, this is what make us fans. I know that you are one of those people outside the fandom that dont know about this.
*For white diamond mind controlling theory.* In the show *Steven Universe the future* pink diamond's original pearl said _10,000 years bloop gone._ So the ones controlled by white diamond don't remember what's happening around them. I hope this helps.
Y’know, I did learn a couple of things from this video, and I am autistic myself, and I enjoyed watching this video about this spectrum I’m in. But interestingly, I kind of grew up watching The Good Doctor for awhile, and I’m gonna be honest, it kind of fascinates me on how wrong the show portrays autism because it also helped me learn more about what autism is not.
I had a theory back in the swing of SU that the very first Gems made by Sneople were not Diamonds but instead Pearls. Pearls in real life are made by oysters, an organic life form. Pearls in SU are easy to reprogram and are servile. I'd theorize that somewhere along the line, Pearls made White Diamond with hopes to better help their organic creators, but eventually White Diamond's "help" somehow made their organic creators go extinct, perhaps violently but some AI stories go in a way that the AI is so good that humans just stop reproducing, causing their own extinction. Eventually the Gem species would flourish from there.
The Amalgams/forced fusions (especially the Cluster) reminds of the "Huddle Monster" from Playdead's _Inside._ In the later parts of the game, you get to see more and more malformed "Albinos" before the Huddle reveal, and some of them look like they're amalgamations of two or more.
I really don't think Pink was selfish at all. Sure, she lied to run away from her responsibility of being a diamond, a full on war raged and countless gems were shattered, but she did all that for humans, for earth. she valued life - life that can grow and change, unbound to anyone else's will. Since she saw what gem production was doing to that life on earth, she just couldn't bare to keep watching it. Earth was Pink's last straw, her tipping point, to give the earth back to humans. That's not selfish.
In my opinion I feel like the best answer is she's morally gray and she was intended to be morally gray and make the viewer think which they clearly accomplished since even years later people still debate over whether or not Rose / pink diamond is a bad person. A lot of people seem to forget or purposely leave out how pink diamond / Rose was an abuse victim and face abuse and neglect from her other fellow diamonds and felt inadequate and useless and how that can play into her immaturity and decisions and also her being a diamond and just a lack of understanding of lots of things in general like emotion and relationships and etc. And I personally believe she wasn't intentionally malicious or evil in her actions and just really didn't understand the situation she was in and the decision she made and how that would affect other people and the situation around her. Also I really like how Steven universe makes it very clear a lot of the characters are victims but they are never the "perfect victim" stereotype and how a lot of them are victims of trauma in one way or the other but aren't completely innocent perfect people either and have also hurt and affected other people. And I feel like it's something really important for people to see and understand since not every victim is a completely innocent flawless person and like you see in future with Steven their trauma can make them act out and hurt the people they love and don't realize it. If all of that makes sense. And back to the point I feel like morally gray fits pink diamond/Rose perfectly since she's had many actions that are good and bad and selfless and selfish and honestly out of all the four diamonds pink and blue are probably my favorites and blue probably being the only one who could have a successful redemption arc and pink if her actual character was still around.
