Counter-point, have you seen how into 90s poo poo those guys are? 90s Spiderman is the most 90s! Peter Parker is cool and hot and even broody! There are SPIDER ROBOTS!

Big gently caress-off spider robots that later stack onto each other for more power! Yeah, that's pretty 90s.

Also, I think the guys are more into Marvel poo poo than DC overall, I grew up with both options and I watched a lot more 90s Spidey and X-Men than I did BTAS, even though that one is the best series overall. I just liked those characters better.

Marvel has a stronger variety of characters who each can carry an audience. Batman by himself is so strong he literally carries DC solely on his shoulders. Without him, DC would've died a long time ago.

Also if you weren't watching NBA 2k16 you should probably watch the last episode anyway because what the gently caress.

Moderately related to Best Friends stuff, Mother's Basement put out an OP analysis of Sword Art Online. It's really good and ever since they recommended his JoJo videos on the Friendcast I've been a fan of the professional shitbag known as Geoff Thew

Still waiting on the "Wierdmageddon" variant Gravity Falls "What's in an OP" off of him.

DC stands for Detective Comics, which was what Batman ran under originally

Nah. It comes and goes in waves. Both companies have had long swaths of their history where characters were thrown by the wayside, huge editorial edicts were passed down or characters were just used poorly (For instance the actual comic Civil War was god loving awful) Both stables have great variety of characters available to them it's just whether anyone uses them that's the problem and if they're used right. Lately with Johns around that hasn't been DC's 'thing'.

The thing is while DC still does good things as often as bad they've still been playing catch-up to Marvel creatively and financially since 1962, a concept fully embodied in Batman V Superman's aim at going from zero to 100 on having a cinematic universe in one movie.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it has a flop-sweaty feel of desperation to it.

Just finished Jojo's Part 3, little bummed I was spoiled on Dio's stand ages ago, but was rad to see it in action, and to finally get the actual context of that steamroller thing, and all the "stopped time" jokes the Zaibatsu makes.

Have best friends ever referenced "OH! That's a baseball"? Because that's some fantastic (intentional?) engrish.

In one podcast episode they also confessed wanting to spend obscene amounts of money on an "Oh, That's a Baseball!" game/kickstarter if one ever existed.

EDIT: I think they also referenced it that time they played Ninja Baseball Batmen too

So in Star Fox 0 if you tap a Falco Amiibo you unlock the black arwing which has 1/2 health but deals 2x damage

Ace Pilot I guess.

Oh god no. They get to complain about Man of steel again.

They really don't like that some people died in order to save the entire world. I mean the film wasn't perfect. It was average. But gently caress their complaints are ridiculous.

In any other movie, I'd be inclined to agree, but Man of Steel is the antithesis of what Superman is. The movie totally making GBS threads all over Superman's backstory and core character is a valid complaint.

All the hate for Man of Steel can be explained by it adopting a working-class perspective on the mythos, which nerds find alienating.
