I think I'm caught up on Tangled for now. It's a bit of a shame for Eugene to really put to rest the whole debonair rogue bit by becoming Captain of the Guard, but I get that there isn't really much of anywhere else that the show would go with him. Lance is just kinda useless. It's weird that for all of these confrontations with Cassandra to talk her down, they never bring the one other character who has an emotional connection with her, her adoptive father, who genuinely cares for her, even though he's not great at expressing it. The owl seems like it could also have a place, although Cass never seemed to have any real emotional connection with it. One thing that seems shallow to me is that whatever Cass actually thinks is her destiny, whatever lines Xintiri is feeding her, she doesn't really seem to have any real goals of her own beyond rejecting Rapunzel. Her whole bit about not believing that she's doing anything wrong would probably fit better if she had something she was striving for beyond the evil machinations of a creepy ghost child. cant cook creole bream posted:I really like these reviews. Also, you still have the best song in front of you. Dunno what you're talking about there. Lost is good, but I still love Line better. Coordinated duets like that are very impressive, but I'm not as good at appreciating them in the moment since it's hard to split my brain between the separate dialogue. I really go more for faster tempos and weirder chord progressions anyways. Varian as a character is fun and makes a good foil to both characters of higher status like Cassandra and of lower status like Lance, but after they wrapped up the deal with his dad (who still hasn't said much of anything all season, I wonder if there's some issue with his VA), he's got nothing personal going on. I vaguely expected a reveal that he was actually Cassandra's brother from the shared streaky hair.

SlothfulCobra posted:Episode 16 of Tangled: Plot sighted off the starboard bow! Also the first proper musical numbers. Yeah, I'm always rooting for someone to bring up democracy. I'm on this episode, and it was a great town musical number. The early episodes featured some villains who all seemed a lot a like, but most of the rest of the season after episode 5 has been great.

I don't know if it's a british/american thing here but I'd never say theme song if there's no singing. Or call anything a song with no singing, honestly. Even wikipedia says it: quote:A song is a musical composition intended to be vocally performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections.

if a band has an instrumental on their album they're not going to say "we have 11 songs on this one, and one that's not a song"

Instrumentals are definitely songs, but I have brain problems so if a piece of music has somebody singing lyrics in it, that's not a song, that's garbage.

Song is lyrics Instrumental is just music I dunno, that's....how anyone would see it and how the definition of it comes up too. Owl House has theme music, She-Ra has a theme song. And I wish that Owl House had a song, because music is boring.

I am mostly just kinda confused, because I never had thought about that distinction. You are technically right. By dictionary terms and by the actual origin of the word, a song is something that's sung. Interestingly, the German word "Lied" seems to work exactly the same. But I can't really see that topic comming up in actual conversations. If you were having a nice chat with a friend about old movies and he told you that he really loves the Jurassic Park theme song, would you just agree and continue on, or woukd you kill the conversation by arguing that such a thing does not exists? Also, I am curious. You define a song as having lyrics, so is this a song? There's certainly singing involved. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Q8h-fDfEI cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Feb 26, 2020 |

Music is music, regardless of lyrics. Songs are music with lyrics. instrumentals are songs that usually have lyrics, but the lyrics are missing for a variety of reasons. The overture at the start of every opera? That's an instrumental, a small medley of the tunes that the characters will later sing to.

I'm going to keep using song to refer to pieces of music both with and without lyrics because in thirty years this is literally the first time I've seen anyone try to make the distinction.

The idea was meant to be conveyed was gotten across even if the specific connotations different people have with the word do not jive with eachother. I think the theme evokes a bit of a harry potter feeling,. If it had a song with lyrics, I don't really know what they'd be about. BioEnchanted posted:I liked that in the latest Tangled episode, it was Cassandra trying to fix things, before Zhan Tiri hosed it up Is that how it's supposed to be spelled? Weird. The dramatic irony is killing me, and I think Cassandra was probably more effective with just her sword.

I like that Rapunzel and Cassandra both admit that, while Cassandra was in the wrong, she did have legitimate points and it wasn't just black and white. It makes Cass's fall even sadder.

I liked that the little girls were going to play those rocks.  Also I love the way Cass fights. It's super dynamic and she keeps flipping around. To be honest, I am not a big fan of Zhan Tiri. She's such a central character on the whole history of that world, but seems to lack any real motivation. Just generic primordial evil. I still don't really see an endgame for her shenanigans. Those minions (except Gothel, I guess) tried so hard to bring her back. But for what exactly? I feel like one final long episode is a bit short to establish that.

With her it's less that her goals are unclear and more that she's purposefully keeping secrets. Secrets leading to trouble is either a theme of the show or it's just the key to all farce. I've been more confused at what exactly Cassandra expects to get out of all of this. She's been really sold on the idea of "having a destiny" that she's given up just about everything for, and even when she knows that she's being manipulated, she's prone to getting carried away by her emotional reactions and her fighting instincts. In theory maybe she could get talked down, but between her aggression and confusion, it's hard to know what might work. Maybe that's also the stone loving with her head. I like that the owl was a better friend to her than she was to it.

Honestly, I think that she doesn't have any real plan. Her goal was to make Rapunzel sad, and Zhan Tiri basically twisted that into helping her do what she did. She was just lashing out wildly, and Zhan Tiri directed it in a way that kept her angry and also under control.
