Just watched Elemental last night. The marketing really was the reason it bombed. The trailers made it look like a forbidden love story, but it was actually about the struggles of immigrant families and 2nd generation immigrants’ pressures of living up to their parents’ dreams.
It lacked the wide age range appeal other Pixar movies manage to pull off. I didn’t like the fundamental elements as a metaphor for race/culture either, it’s sort of racist to imply people of different backgrounds are so fundamentally different like that, although it did serve as a strong visual for the story. It would have been more accurate if the characters were projecting fundamental differences on to the same element, like different phases of water or something. That was the only real thing I thought was actually wrong with it, otherwise it just lacked the magic that other Pixar movies have.
That is 100% why I didn’t care. Hell a friend of mine had a copy and I wasn’t even interested cuz the trailer made it sound like the most 2008 thing to ever exist
Is it worth watching, though?
I’d put it in the ran-out-of-other-things-to-watch category. It’s not bad, but not the best either. It had pacing issues, inconsistencies with how their world works, and some plot holes, but the animation was great and there were some genuinely funny lines.
We don’t really read the reviews for anything. We pirate everything cause fuck corporations. Our kids never saw anything about elemental but the cover. They love it.
What was your impression of “Clod?”
Lmao I saw that meme a while ago but completely forgot about it until the scene came up. Honestly, the character wasn’t on it enough to be annoying. He had like less than a minute of total screen time even with all the dumb pickup lines.
Tim Hortons is low-mid tier at best… Did you feel anything?
Frustrated that you marked it mid-tier. Tim Hortons is utter trash.
Only Chinese-Canadians that turn into red pandas though.
Can we sue pixar for copying from a flash game?
Fire and water aren’t even real elements 🤷
No they’re right fire is just triangles
They’re elements of a good sauna
They are classical elements, but it would have been funny if the movie had bromine and bismuth folk or something like that instead.
Multi card
Multipass, actually.
Damnit
Only if you’re referring to the travel card in the movie movie “the fifth Element” of course. Otherwise it might be 'Multi Card"
Edit: a space.
Maybe if Aziz could hold the lamp steady, they wouldn’t make this kinda mistake
Heart is a real element.
What if dinosaurs had feelings? Or are we collectively ignoring that one’s existence?

Thicc moms also have feelings

They forgot: what if Colombians had feelings
🎵We don’t talk about Columbia, nah, nah, nah! We don’t talk about Columbiaaaa! 🎵
Not pixar
Should probably just keep listing movies back a century, and then books back for centuries before that, since “having feelings” is just how you tell stories that people like
Yoo they did a movie about that flash game
Oh, so that’s why I didn’t understand what was going on… Someone swapped my maple syrup with feelings.

Chop 'em, boil 'em and stick 'em in a stew.

Canadians only have two feelings. Being apologetic and being happy to see ya.
Sometimes blood thirsty lumberjacks in a diabetic rage without the diabetes, but only when ya fuck with the maple.
