akinoameRunning commentary, again, plus a link to my Ryuki reviews. I can't take much more of this.
Canta Akino: God, Ben, you live in filth
Canta Akino: And he's having a night terror that causes him to spill his smoothie
Canta Akino: ...A metroid is trying to tentacle rape him in his sleep?
Canta Akino: Okay, so it's the Death's Head Metroid
Canta Akino: Because now that it's suffocated him (how many deaths is that now?), it's formed a skull on its body
Canta Akino: New writer, Don McGregor
Canta Akino: ...Ben doesn't own a mirror
Canta Akino: He has to look at his reflection in the TV
Canta Akino: This is SAD
Shaun Garin: a new writer this late in the game?
Canta Akino: No kidding
Canta Akino: Must be a freelancer
Canta Akino: And Ben is TOTALLY dreaming, because weird horror movie shit is going on
Canta Akino: And his parents are missing
Canta Akino: Now a DNAlien
Canta Akino: Yep
Canta Akino: Dreaming
Canta Akino: And watch, the DNAlien is one of his parents
Canta Akino: Even in his dreams, Ben is the Prince of Collateral Damage
Canta Akino: At least this time, he worries about the fact that he wrecked somebody's house
Canta Akino: So. His greatest fear is being alone
Shaun Garin: I can actually see that tbh
Canta Akino: Yeah
Canta Akino: And he's dreaming about Vilgax ripping apart his car and then crushing him with the halves
Shaun Garin: OW
Canta Akino: Nobody else in Ben's dream is talking
Canta Akino: I kind of like Vilgax not saying a damn thing
Canta Akino: He'd be much more effective if he were mute
Canta Akino: And another hint it's a dream: Ben instantly goes from Goop to Ult. Spidermonkey
Canta Akino: Pfft, Ben calls him "Vilgie"
Canta Akino: "Come on, Vilgie, talk to me!" In a PLEADING VOICE
Shaun Garin: PFFFH
Canta Akino: ...He actually tried to warn Vilgax not to stand in the way of an oncoming truck
Canta Akino: Before realizing that was a stupid plan
Canta Akino: Ben is totally in love with Vilgax
Canta Akino: NOW he worries about Julie
Canta Akino: ...It's sad that he cares more about Vilgax than Julie
Canta Akino: And it's Greg!
Canta Akino: Greg in his dream!
Canta Akino: He was in the Null Void after Kevin kicked his ass
Canta Akino: Lodestar is fighting without his head
Canta Akino: That's actually pretty funny
Shaun Garin: hehehe
Canta Akino: Julie's in his dream
Canta Akino: Here's where something horrible happens
Canta Akino: ...Okay. So
Canta Akino: Julie/Ship henshin
Canta Akino: Picks up Ben
Canta Akino: Squeezes him
Canta Akino: Shocks him
Canta Akino: This is one of Ben's fears
Canta Akino: NO WONDER they broke up
Canta Akino: She's shooting him with missiles
Canta Akino: This is a really unhealthy relationship
Canta Akino: But I'm getting a lot out of it as a psych major
Canta Akino: And he blasted her into orbit
Canta Akino: Caped dude hitchhiking on the side of the road
Canta Akino: Ben's not taking the bait
Canta Akino: And then it happens again
Canta Akino: Not falling for it again
Canta Akino: JESUS
Canta Akino: It was Hex, and when Ben checked the rearview mirror, there he was
Shaun Garin: AHAHAHAHAHA
Shaun Garin: This episode sounds like a RIOT
Canta Akino: This is actually a pretty good one
Canta Akino: Kevin just spoke
Canta Akino: He and Gwen appeared
Canta Akino: And they can speak
Canta Akino: And now they're tearing into him
Canta Akino: For "defeating Hex" easily and without a plan
Canta Akino: Gwen's going on about how she has to study and plan, and Kevin's going on about how he has to always hold back (cough, World of Cardboard)
Canta Akino: So that's another good reveal into his psyche
Shaun Garin: yep
Canta Akino: And he's afraid of Gwen or Kevin taking the Ultimatrix from him, all the while being self-conscious about having it
Canta Akino: Now they're hunting him
Canta Akino: And another fear
Canta Akino: Kevin absorbing the Ultimatrix and becoming Ultimate Kevin 11 again
Canta Akino: And Gwen giving into her Anodyte side
Canta Akino: WHY DIDN'T ANY OF THIS SHIT SHOW UP EARLIER ADIONFAODNFSODINFODINFC
Canta Akino: And he's self-conscious about Kevin saying he's stupid
Canta Akino: WAIT, WHAT
Canta Akino: YOU FINALLY
Canta Akino: BUT I JUST REVIEWED RYUKI AND THEY DID IT SO MUCH BETTER AND
Canta Akino: GAH
Canta Akino: *pause*
Canta Akino: *sigh*
Canta Akino: brb
Canta Akino: Back
Canta Akino: And now wearing the belt with the Knight deck
Canta Akino: Now
Canta Akino: Ben just killed Dream Kevin
Shaun Garin: hehehe
Canta Akino: And we're FINALLY getting what I've been complaining about for months
Canta Akino: SOUL SEARCHING
Canta Akino: AFTER I already reviewed 8 episodes of Ryuki DEALING WITH JUST THAT
Canta Akino: WAIT
Canta Akino: THAT'S IT
Canta Akino: "You killed him!" "No, I didn't! I wouldn't!" "You don't deserve the Ultimatrix! Give it to me!" "You're right--wait."
Canta Akino: THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL SOUL-SEARCHING?
Canta Akino: Holy crap, dream or not, Ben just KILLED his best friend!
Canta Akino: The guy he thinks of as his brother!
Canta Akino: How do you just GLOSS OVER this?
Canta Akino: Ren ALMOST killed somebody he can't even stand!
Canta Akino: And you know what? He was horrified at his inability to kill
Canta Akino: Shinji thought he killed somebody he barely knew!
Canta Akino: And he went into a suicidal depression!
[Note: Comparable events occured in episodes 13-14 for Shinji and 17-20 for Ren, all recently reviewed at the time of this viewing. See all analysis there for why this pissed me off here.]
Shaun Garin: FFFFFFFFFF
Shaun Garin: brb my aims fucking up.
Shaun Garin (Shaun Garin) has left the room.
Shaun Garin (Shaun Garin) has entered the room.
Shaun Garin: there
Canta Akino: *sigh*
Canta Akino: It was an Albedo ploy
Shaun Garin: AUGH
Canta Akino: And Ben thinks it's that Albedo is scared of him
Canta Akino: Here comes some unmorphed fighting
Canta Akino: But because it's a dream, we don't get to see what Ben's really capable of
Canta Akino: We're just seeing him taking advantage of the dream to reenact Divided We Fall
Shaun Garin: aaah
Canta Akino: Albedo's using Dream Eaters now?
Canta Akino: I thought they were limited to KH CD
Canta Akino: 3D
Canta Akino: ...Are you fucking serious
Canta Akino: Don't tell me this was all Albedo's dream in the first place
Canta Akino: Ben doesn't recognize the Dream Eater when we see him awake
Canta Akino: It turns out that Albedo slipped on a spilled smoothie and dropped the Dream Eater on himself
Canta Akino: Everything that's happened, everything that Ben went through psychologically
Canta Akino: Was all in Albedo's head
Shaun Garin: I dunno either to laugh or cry. but it does bring up a good point on how much Ben has influenced Albedo
Canta Akino: *DEEP BREATH*
Canta Akino: FUCK
Canta Akino: THIS
Canta Akino: SHOW
Canta Akino: [Final Vent]
