Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Dex Stewart
Yikes…

That doesn’t sound very pleasant…

@Penguin Dragneel
And it being a musical sounds like there is tone whiplash.

I mean…

Musicals with dark/depressing themes are a thing lol

Like Sweeny Todd and Les Misérables

@ichiban iceychan 1517
I mean the topic and Dex’s description sounds like it crashes rather than gels.

@Meanlucario
It works in a bizarre way. It’s just an uber depressing flick.

@Dex Stewart
The fact that I see Bjork there already tells me what kind of movie it’s gonna be.

@Myoozik
I was expecting dreamlike and surreal. Which it kinda was.

@ichiban iceychan 1517
Legit my favorite movie of all time is a horror musical with a sad ending.

It helps that it’s intentionally campy in its presentation, but still.

@TheHappySpaceman
Sweeney Todd?

@Ring Team
Phantom of the Paradise, actually. Directed by an early Brian De Palma, pre-Carrie.

@TheHappySpaceman
In any other case, I’d expect that tagline on a anti-rock video.

@Meanlucario
Funny thing: You’re actually closer than you might assume. The main character, Winslow, gets disfigured and is presumed dead as part of a plot by record executive Swan to steal his music. When he returns as the Phantom, he signs a contract with Swan, bound in blood, to produce his music–and Swan himself is working with Satan.

Sustained optimism and pessimism should be seen as soft forms of insanity.

This was the best Dunkin’ Donuts logo.

@TheHappySpaceman
I remember that from Jontron’s Simplified Logo video. :( Oh well, who cares about creativity, am I right?

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Logos that are also visual puns are the best. Like I’ve always had a fondness for this old one for Staples:

The one they replaced it with is just so bland by comparison.

@TheHappySpaceman
Ironically that one is the opposite of simplifying logos.

@TheHappySpaceman
Okay that’s pretty creative

@TheHappySpaceman
If you ask me, I say corporate brand designers are getting lazy.

@TheHappySpaceman
Griffith

@Don’t
Oh God, I see it too.

@Don’t
Decades before Griffith.

Recons are inevitable, and aren’t inherently bad.

@Meanlucario
Sometimes they can even make something that was just okay into something much greater.

It depends on when and how it’s done.

@Background Pony #967B
Like Marvel with their Captain Marvel marring her rapist/son disaster, where latter on she returns and calls them out for not stopping her since she was under a magical enchantment?
