Actually, when I went to church the other day (which has been the first time since, like, Christmas), we were supposed to bow instead of making the sign of peace. I thought it was hilarious. XD

Oogh. I am sick, not with the flu but just a cold. Not like I'm intensely worried about the Swinub Flu, just a little different so people freak out. It's what would be happening if we didn't have vaccines for the normal flu. And anyways, I had it, it's not that bad.

It's kinda funny though. At my church we are now not supposed to hold hands, according to the National Department of Health (or something), so we link elbows.

Yesterday I woke up at 4:30 AM to work on some school stuff and then met with some friends, drew them some medieval Piplup (whom they are obsessed with), and got really excited about the new Warriors series.

Does anyone else feel elated about the new series?

For that matter, does anyone feel insane about the Lightning Theif movie coming out on President's Day, February 2010? I read that book as soon as it came out and have followed the series ever since, so it's kinda special to me.

This is the ending of my surely extremely long post. I have a timeline to make! (and breakfast to eat…)

Mightyena for the spammy.

Mew

Hey guys!! what's with the long posts?? well, on the topic, I would say that the review is good, but why are you guys interpreting mew and the tree as one being? I read an awsome book called 'The Alchemyst: the secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel' and in it, one of the beings of the species called the Elder Race (the goddess Hekate, whom i think is from norse mythology, to be exact) uses their own life force to fuel a gigantic tree called the Yggdrasil's growth, and it could be the same with mew and the tree of beginning! also, an evil guy freezes the Yggdrasil and Hekate gets frozen, too, and the same happened with mew and the tree of beginning when the tree got sick… it's uncanny how sometimes nintendo makes plots that reflect myths so vividly sometimes.



mweeheeheehee..

Mwaahaahaahaahaa!!!!!!



p.s. I highly recomend the book I mentioned to anyone who's interested, and the book is part of an unfinished six-novel series.

I never saw how Mew and the Tree were one being, much less how the tree was sick. Mew barely is seen in the first part of the movie! But, anywho, what, when, where, and why, I do see what you mean. In the supposed "afterlife", if there is one, then we would have an unbearable burden on our hands! It'd probably feel lie you died twice, or something along those lines. But I do see what you mean; Mew is a total jerk. But, seriously, there's a life lesson in Pokemon, kids. :D

I do like the interpretation that Mew genuinely does not understand concepts like love and friendship, as far as the story of the movie is concerned; it mostly just personally bugs me on an emotional level because Mew is just too cute to be incapable of love. In other words, just me being silly.



And yes, Mew did it for the Tree, but there is no real difference, since Mew and the Tree are essentially one being; Mew being concerned about the Tree is more or less the same thing as Mew being concerned about itself. To heal itself, Mew has to heal the tree, because it is the tree's sickness that is making Mew sick. Primarily, my point here is that my sense of morality says that if I'm sick and another person could lay down their life to save me, I would never actually ask and positively expect them to make that sacrifice for my sake. The fact Mew did just that strikes me as very deeply morally wrong, even if that is what is needed to save all the Pokémon in the tree. It would strike me as less so if Mew were an indifferent party, but since Mew has a very heavy stake in whether Lucario heals the Tree or not, it cannot try to make that call for Lucario without coming off as disturbingly selfish.

Nice to know that there are some fans out there who believe that not all relationships have to end with physical intimacy. It’s ridiculous how widespread this belief is.



My only real disagreement is on your view of Mew. There is much fan debate about whether it is the same Mew from The First Movie. Personally I think that Mew would have recognized Ash if that were the case. But for now let us assume that this Mew is not the same as the Mew who fought Mewtwo.



First, does Mew even understand the concept of friendship? As far as we know he’s only taken toys to his hiding pot, not people or Pokémon. Without that, could he really understand Pikachu’s loss?



Second, I was under the impression that Mew was doing this in order to help the Tree and all the Pokémon who live within it (yes, we all know that Lucario healed Mew for those reasons, but hear me out). Then, the first thing Mew did after he was healed was to heal the Tree. At least, that’s what it looked like from here. It depends on how far you take Mew’s connection to the Tree and why he needed to go to its center in order to heal it. Also, if Mew just wanted to be healed, Ash and Lucario could have done it right when Mew became sick rather than lead then on a merry run throughout the Tree.



Going along with the friendship theme of the movie, it wouldn’t be so farfetched to see Mew as a foil, his ignorance of friendship played against Ash, Lucario, and (especially) Pikachu’s own relationships. If so it was pretty underplayed.



All in all a good review. I agree with you on all the positives. The review oozed with unfettered glee, but that just made it more enjoyable. If I wanted to see it another way I wouldn’t have read your review. The time flowers as plot devices may be convenient, but at least they work.

Well, I have two accounts, but on one I said I was the minimum age just to see what it would do. I stayed on that one, KATmeow5297, for a while but recently made a new one katmeow_luxray.



The link was for non-members, if they clicked it and made an account then it would count as being referred by me and I would get stuff.
