Yeah, fortunately for other fandoms I'll be able to return to my refusal to clip, it's just this is video game footage and so...the rules are sort of different. GAH. WHAT AM I DOING.

That sucks about FCE and its clipping problems though. To be honest, Cinelerra is a little crappy in terms of the formats it can accept, so I often end up re-encoding entire episodes and using up more space than I'd like to in order to not lose too much quality (and gah I wish I hadn't discovered that I can vid using x264 encoded footage because it's so much prettier and generally logoless but slows Cinelerra down to a crawl and it's a little like being in WMM again o.O), but I just can't handle the clipping. I might as well have my completionist project just BE the series! I think the problem with the video game footage is I keep thinking, "hey, now I can rewatch this without having to replay the whole game..." and that's how it starts. And then I end up wanting to clip the hilarious ambient dialogue I couldn't even use to vid because it's freaking DIALOGUE. *facepalm*

...you don't want to know what happened in Wonder Woman. [livejournal.com profile] metatxt CERTAINLY doesn't want to know, lest she explode in righteous, understandable rage. The short version is they wrecked the Amazons in a fairly horrifying way. Apparently every thirty years or so they go daterape a bunch of sailors then murder them in order to keep up their population numbers, and all the boy babies get traded to Hephaestus for weaponry because otherwise they'd be so useless they might as well get drowned. No really. The next issue toyed with my feelings by letting Wonder Woman use her LASSO TO TIE UP HER HAIR which NGL was INCREDIBLY HOT but also didn't fix, or even reference, anything from the shitty last issue. I'm not sure if that's better (because I can pretend it will NEVER BE MENTIONED AGAIN) or worse because it implies it wasn't even fucking important to the plot that they do it. :/

I was just. AZZARELLO. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU. And like I said, if the rest of the story was awful, it would be easier. But it's like this brutal, ugly, inexplicable decision in the middle of this beautiful, fantastic story and I have no idea how to handle that.

OUAT THOUGH! THAT IS HAPPIER! I'm actually behind on it - I'm behind on ALL TV but I really, really need to catch up and we DEFINITELY need to talk more about it! ♥
