Ava: Today on the train a little kid wanted to give me a cookie.
Ava: But their parent pulled them away and told them: "They're an adult, they don't want a cookie" and then apologized to me.
Ava, tearing up: I wanted the cookie.
Camila, petting Ava: There, there, big girl.
Hobie whispering “the kids an Anarchist” will forever be imbedded in my brain
Miles in ATSV: Wow, canon sucks. Imma fix it
Fanfic writers: He's just like me fr
me everytime i saw gwen come even somewhat close to falling: OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NOOOOOOO
i love how Hobie was trying to be Miles’s hype man but Miles was too excited to actually realize that at the beginning 🤞🏾🤞🏾 he gotta get shit shakin at all costs and that’s why he’s literally amazing he lives and breathes punk
shoutout to that dj who tried to cover for miles and his parents shouting at each other by turning up the party music real loud... the real hero of the movie
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…
the superior Spider-people
I am already losing it over the idea that miles is doing great in physics (relevant to interdimentional travel) but having some trouble with Spanish (aka communicating with his parents)
Adrienette moment. Both video calling. Adrien happy because he likes spending time with Mari.
The apology is coming so soon.
Please their expression is everything to me here 🥹
Katsuki looks so beautiful and worried. Izuku's eyes seeing his light. Please let this be animated perfectly 🧡💚
WDYM HE TRIED TO SAY “KACCHAN” BEFORE HE PASSED OUT??? YOU JUST HEAR A LITTLE “Ka…” AND HE CLOSES HIS EYES 😭😭😭 HELP
Okay! I saw it! Let's talk about it!
AHHHH! It was so good! It was ALMOST everything I wanted. There were a couple moments I felt like Bones was trying to minimize the gravity of this apology. Specifically, the lack of transition of Izuku's eyes.
When Katsuki first confronts Izuku, and starts at the beginning of their story (them being shown as young children) Izuku's eyes are completely void.
As Izuku begins to realize what's happening (when they reach their middle school timeline) we see his eyes coming back.
By their high school timeline he looks stunned and his eyes are lightening and becoming wider.
As he hears his name, his eyes have come back entirely.
By the end, his eyes are clear, present, his pupils are blown wide and light has finally returned them.
In the manga Horikoshi very intentionally shows Izuku's eyes becoming lighter and more present with every line that Katsuki says. Almost as if, Katsuki is slowly bringing Izuku back to life. Bones opted to leave those details out and that super sucks. This scene is so beautiful and powerful because even though it is BAKUGO'S moment, it's HIS apology that he's been agonizing over for months, it's still equally about both of them. It's still their give and take. It's so /them/ meeting each other where they're at, no matter what, and filling a role for each other that no one else could possibly fill. And by removing Izuku's part in that, you miss the full impact.
BUT it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge all the wonderful things Bones DID do in the episode. The rest of the animation was genuinely stunning. And Okamoto did an amazing job of bringing Katsuki's words to life. He made him so soft and I will forever be grateful for his portrayal. At first I was a bit upset he didn't do the pause indicated in the manga before saying Izuku's name but honestly...I like the change. I like that Katsuki says "Izuku" so confidently and without reserve. Because he knows he can. And he knows Izuku will accept it despite the fact that he probably shouldn't. It was a very nice change.
I loved that we got more shojo glow throughout, I also loved how they handled Katsuki's catch scene and Izuku finally feeling safe enough to sleep. That wasn't in the manga people! The catch was, yes, but NOT the panning in on Izuku's face as he relaxes into Katsuki's arms and falling asleep! That was a nice bonus touch that [not completely] helps balance out the loss of the eyes animation.
Overall, the handling of chapter 322 was done with a care I can appreciate. I can't wait to see how they handle our boys next big scene. 💚🧡
