Not even the K-12 movie is that bad. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some grungy blair witch thing would have served so good. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People to co-write video treatments and proofread things. she needs to retire the concept album theme and just work on really well written alt pop songs imo, i'd be so here for a conceptless but cohesive alt pop album without the gimmicks 5 Quote https://www.last.fm/user/cool3dworld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ButterflyBones 2,238 Posted November 14, 2023 That Trilogy teaser, man.. I'm not enjoying this era at all anymore, and cannot believe we're nearly a year into it now and it still has almost zero substance. I'd rather see a 3 minute video of her talking, without the mask, and get nothing else for months than be fed crappy CGI teasers and bad music videos with a dash of boring, faceless live shows. I was listening to DEATH yesterday too, and all I could think of was how wasted its potential was! She could've made her most powerful, heartfelt and beautiful MV yet(same with VOID) but instead it felt overdone and underdone all at once. I'm confused at what she's trying to achieve here, and I definitely don't want to know what a Portals movie would look like if the MVs can't even land. Just disappointed with this era all around. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pop The Balloons 2,642 Posted November 15, 2023 We used to have this thread somewhat active but it's been so boring and dead as of late, Melanie girl you gotta step it up do something. I was talking to a friend about portals and this era and they commented on his boring this era is and how it doesn't feel as if Melanie put her all into it like she did with cry baby, and they suggested her label is to blame saying they're being to controlling so maybe Melanie couldn't do what she wanted (I think it's not so much that but idk) 3 Quote Jealousy's a disease bitch get well soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
