(Aaaaaww, I was having so much fun! But okay, let’s stop)

I love Tempest so much

@ice1517  
She an cute

@rdibp  

@ice1517  
A lot of people do. I went to a con at the end if October and I had a Tempest bag abd when I was heading to my room someone wanted to take a picture ofvtge bag.
 
I really like Tempest.

Seriously, though, I am SO glad that Capper didn’t end up being a black stereotype, because I was really worried that he would be.

@Jarkes  
Why would you be worried?

@Jarkes  
I was surprised by how much I ended up liking Capper. A friend of mine described him as
 
“The ponies are horses that do horse things, and Capper is a cat that does cat things.”.

So here’s a couple of interesting cinematography details I noticed. We get a couple of high-angle shots from Tempest’s viewpoint. We see these whenever she uses something granted to her by The Storm King, and the shot is of a character she either has captured or is about to capture.
 
So the verse  
“Open up your eyes  
see the world from where I stand  
me among the mighty  
you caged at my command” is reinforced through the cinematography itself.
 
Another interesting detail is that when Tempest confronts the Ursa, we get a low-angle shot from her perspective. Then it switches to a high-angle shot from the Ursa’s perspective, just before Tempest loses everything. Then, when The Storm King betrays her and she again loses everything, we get a similar shot/reverse shot between Tempest and The Storm King, only it’s in the third person.
 
While we’re on the subject of the climax, after The Storm King betrays Tempest, they’re both flung backwards, and Twilight has to choose between getting the staff, and saving Tempest. Her choosing to save Tempest is her atoning for choosing the pearl over her friends.

@ice1517
 
Hasbro doesn’t exactly have the best track record with those kinds of characters.
 
Not to mention him basically living in a ghetto.

@Jarkes
 
Well if you gonna go that route, there’s also the fact that he’s a fast talking petty crook.

@Dustcan
 
Honestly, I’m surprised that there weren’t any hot takes from “journalists” about that.

@Jarkes  
Do journalists even give a shit about us?

FYI the movie is in many midwest theaters this weekend again at discount prices, one showing each morning apparently, as a part of a kids’ movies partnership with an insurance company.
 
Here’s a list of theaters

@cheezedoodle  
So it’s a charity type deal?

@Joshua  
Not really a charity, the insurance company buys the theater out for a showing and gets advertisements placed in front of the movie, most likely.

@cheezedoodle  
At least the movie will get more views. No wonder I’ve seen the RT score go up from 46% to 47%. Not a big leap, but does it matter at this point?
