Zachack posted:It's much dumber and you can read Wikipedia for the synopsis. Note that no one seemed to update the page with a summary of season 2, because it managed to be dumber and kinda boring, which at least the first season avoided somewhat. Whaaaat? Season 2 of Helix was completely goddamn bonkers. Like a character going on an imaginary fishing trip with his dead adopted son as the Andy Griffith Show theme played bonkers. Or Steven Weber's character being locked in a cage for 30 years, gets out and then pretty much instantly gets his head chopped off. The only thing that really annoyed me about season 2 was that they still didn't go into how they became immortal.

If you''re judging a console on racing games, this whole generation is worthless because nobody's ported over Outrun 2.

You're talking about maybe 5 minutes of total run time with no real addition to the story or plot, meanwhile let's spend far longer on Teen Angst co-starring Lennie. Season 1, for as stupid as it was, at least managed to keep upping the ante by revealing one ridiculous twist after another. You mean, under this secret base with zombies... is another secret base with zombies? And then, under that, is a secret cabin?!? Where I was raised??!?!? By an immortal Japanese guy?!?!?!?! and Nosferatsu is in another castle!?!?!?!?!?!?!? The story was already so overstuffed going into S2 that anything not directly contributing to S1 came across as a distraction. Which is fine if they were interesting, but Weber being Dr. Mengele by way of Jim Jones wasn't nearly as entertaining as it should have been because he played things too benignly for too long. Now let's spend more time with sibling rivalry that wasn't interesting in S1.

I just remembered that I quite enjoyed The Strain season 1 for what it was, but watching Helix directly after meant I never got around to watching season 2.

That is like when people are playing pogs and you take out the two pound solid steel Nickelodeon GUTS slammer and toss that poo poo on top. You can't just do that, Travis343. You can't just do that, I saved up all my allowance on my X-Men the Animated Series limited edition pog where you can see Rogue's boobs.

I watched Hey Arnold! in the early 2000s and that's responsible for my confusion over if I count as a 90s kid or not. Older stuff like Clarissa Explains It All flies right by me.

I feel a good measure of whether you were a '90s kid or not is whether you at least had two digits in your age when it hit 2001. If not, sorry.

I was born in 1990. Nearly half of that decade was over by the time I started even remembering things well enough to get nostalgic over them, and half of the next was spent desperately trying NOT to be a kid of any sort. I am a kid of two decades. There is no clickbait for me.

It was like, kid Ninja Warrior... Anyway, I've always known now that "90s kid" means "kid who lived through the 90s", but I used to be puzzled by it because I was born mid-decade and remember a lot of poo poo from that era, and a lot of the clickbait poo poo is CatDog and Rugrats and all that jazz, which I loved as a kid.

I don't own an XBox 1 and haven't even checked if it has a new Forza, but Forza 4 justified the entirety of the purchase price for my 360. Like, I still wouldn't buy an Xbone if it had a new Forza and it was better in every way to the last one because I don't have the time anymore for that kind of gaming, but I totally understand the mindset

Oh god, I started re-reading Maximum Carnage and forgot how much weird continuity poo poo was going on, most of which I don't really understand. Peter's Parents are back from the dead (I think they're robots eventually) Spider-Doppleganger, both Norman and Harry Osborn are dead at the moment. Mary Jane is smoking because of the stress of being married to Spider-Man. Dagger of Cloak and Dagger dies in the second or third issue, I'm pretty sure she comes back during the event, but that's some hosed up poo poo. Also Carnage has killed at least 54 people in the two or three issues I've read, and he's not halfway done from what i remember. That dude who wrote Seduction of the Innocent might not have been half wrong.

CharlestheHammer posted:Not to spoil you but the comic ends with the Marvel equivalent of the care bare stare so it ends up all right. I read it when I was like twelve, there was a graphic novel, I'd just forgotten poo poo like Peter's robot parents and everyone named Osborn being dead, and Molten Man showing up at Harry Osborn's funeral. The whole thing is a continuity mess, which actually made it mesmerizing to 12 year old me. I'm mostly just looking forward to when Captain America shows up, that was my first "wait, Captain America is actually loving awesome" moment. Question time what the gently caress is up with the weird Spider-Doppelganger, and who the gently caress is Demogoblin, he hasn't shown up yet but I know he does and it feels like a weird pun on hemoglobin.

These both have really awesome answers, are related, and involve crossovers. During Inferno, Hobgoblin sells his soul to N'astirh so that he can beat up Spider-man. Later, he gets the demonic corruption purged from him, which forms an evil duplicate who names himself Demogoblin because he's a demon version of the classic Goblin. Then Infinity War starts up with Magus making evil duplicates of all the heroes, with lots of gnashing brood-level teeth and claws because why not, and for whatever reason the Spider-man duplicate has six arms like the classic story of when Spider-man had six arms. Demogoblin shows up and is like "wow evil duplicate powers activate" and bonds or some poo poo with Doppelganger, preventing him from disappearing with the other evil duplicates when Magus is defeated. Then they buddy up and try to kill Hobgoblin.

Demogoblin is the one you try out at the shop to help you decide whether you want to get the full version. I think the only thing keeping Maximum Carnage from being the most 90s of all 90s Spider-Man stories is the absence of Solo smashing through a window firing a machine gun shouting, "WHILE I LIVE, TERROR DIES!"

My favorite WTF continuity moment in a "classic" story is how in Death of Superman the Supergirl at the time was some weird shapeshifter thing, which isn't mentioned in the story at all. So in her big fight scene with Doomsday she gets punched in the head and it turns into a weird flesh colored goo.
