Totally Spies is such an entertaining show (and is honestly pretty high quality in terms of characterization, choreography, and animation), but one thing about it really sucks
Spoiler




literal heels on the spysuits

it kinda takes you out of the experience, but that's one of those things I can just suspend my disbelief on so I can enjoy the rest of the show. Especially since the show kinda relishes in the aesthetic of those dumb 70s/80s James Bond / Charlie's Angels esque spy movies.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
literally my favorite show as a kid

lol same, I watched it so much

it's one of those shows like Drake & Josh that are just as good when you're an adult, for me at least

I feel some kids shows would just be dumb if I tried to watch them now, like Fairly Oddparents

Early FOP is still good, like the show before everyone got flanderized

If they had better hinted at the romance in Korra. I didn't mind the ending, just felt it was a bit sudden. Would have liked to see more build up.

The Expanse S2 has a bit where Alex (the pilot of the Rocinante) is waiting in orbit aroubd Jupiter behind one of its moons, while his crew are doing something on Ganymede (third-closest moon to Jupiter).

When shit hits the fan on Ganymede, Alex decides to do this gravity slingshot maneuvere that will allow him to quickly pick up his friends from Ganymede, in a pretty visually impressive FX scene.

Problem; when asked to choose a moon for him.to be at, the writers picked one from a list that sounded good rather than one that made sense. The result is that in reality, the trajectory that Alex was on would take two years to complete, not minutes. The writers wrote this big blog post about it and basically explained about how no one realised until production on the CGI was already in progress and couldn't be changed.

Honestly they should have just had the Roci in LGO as part of the relief convoy after the Earth-Mars Battle, which would have let it land in minutes. The whole gravitational slingshot thing is useful to us plebs who don't even detonate nuclear bombs for propulsion because its a minimum energy/ maximum velocity thing that takes ages; in a world where they can hard burn at 1G acceleration from Earth to Neptune in a couple weeks flat, it's kind of weird.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
There's a ton of small things in Terminator 2 during the canal chase scene that I would love to fix:

- The semi loses its windshield when it goes up the divider and crashes and you can see it get destroyed. A few moments later the camera goes to a close up of the T-1000 and he slaps the windshield off when it was already supposed to be gone.

- When Arnie makes the jump off the ledge with the motorbike, you can see the extremely narrow ledge turn into a ramp in the next scene when he jumps... along with a clearly visible stunt-double on the motorbike during the slow-mo part.

- During the famous minigun scene when Arnie pulls out the grenade launcher, he shoots at one of the cop cars and for a split second you can see the police officers that were running away disappear right before the car explodes.

Nothing too major and don't really affect the quality of the movie at all, but these are easily seen when watching the movie if you catch them. It goes to show you that even the best movies aren't perfect.

Spoiler

cast anyone but billy zane as this character and have him be a villainous character who's tricking everyone instead of this disingenuous "good guy" in name only

I guess not a small change but still. That would've also made Audrey's S2 character massacre acceptable as it intentionally pins it on a villain instead of being the result of a forced romance w/ an awful awful character

I have no idea why Lynch didnt just stick with his show for the entire time, his return didnt come soon enough
