muscles like this! posted:In a similar vein I get annoyed when characters have permanent stubble. They never have a beard, they're never clean shaven, they just have a set level of stubble. The Simpsons had a joke about this where Homer shaves and then literally seconds later his signature stubble grows back to exactly the point it left off.

I like to joke about having a five o'clock shadow by the time I'm done shaving. That Simpsons gag was a chuckle then, now I just get sad.

Looking over Disney Plus and drat, they really had some years of poo poo movies in the early 2000's. Dinosaur, Atlantis, etc. Atlantis is sad because it could have been so fun, hell a live action one could be done well, but the animation is just so off, the story is all over the place, and there's too many side characters. And of course it has Almighty Whitey show up and fix a dying civilization because of course. It feels like Disney saw Shrek and how insane it took off, and decided to try some vague stand-alone dark humor/antii-usual Disney poo poo, but failed on all the levels.

Atlantis is a great movie and Mike Mignolas art is why!

Atlantis is good. Not great, but visually it is. Dinosaur was very visually impressive at the time and still has a great ride in Animal Kingdom

An ancient society where some of the people are thousands of years old and were literally there when Atlantis sank. Yet no one can operate any of the machines because they forgot how. And not a single person ever thought, "Hey we all wear these glowing crystals around our necks which are the exact same size as this little hole in the middle of the control panel of the machines. I wonder what would happen if I put the crystal in there? Nah, probably nothing, let's all just go back to slowly going extinct."

I find it strange Ross and Rachel would name their child Emma considering it’s very similar to Emily and we all know what happened there

I always figured Rachel was petty enough to be jealous of the son taking attention from Emma so she convinced/hired Phoebe to murder the boy

A yearly offering is made of a special sandwich [with moistmaker], thus satiating the dread spectre of the Red Ross. One year a foolish museum man ate some of this sandwich. Some could be spared, but not enough. You may note the actor for Ben changes shortly after.

Man, after finishing Stranger Things season 3, I want a movie like that of russians fighting horror monsters. Basically Predator again.

In Return of the King when the Gondor soldiers are retreating from the failed attack on Osgiliath, Gandalf rides out to rescue them from the Nazgul. Why does he take Pippen along? It's just 50 or 60 extra pounds. The only reason I can think of is to use him as bait incase one of the dragons is chasing him, he can just dump Pippen off the horse and hope it goes after him instead.

Gandalf has a thing for putting Hobbits in danger.

Peter Jackson woefully misinterpreted what Tolkien meant by Gandalf "taking Radagast to the White Council," thinking that meant wizards were conferring over what to do about Sauron, in reality he was saying he needed to take a monster dump.

My partner recently started watching all of the CW's Flash, as something to just have on in the background, and as someone who watched the first and most of the second seasons, I had forgotten how how absolute poo poo the Flash is at being the 'world's fastest man'. Literally every speedster is faster than him. Different versions of himself are faster. Alternate universe speedsters are faster. The person he brings onto the team, a new speedster who barely knows poo poo and hasn't trained at all, is faster.

Sometimes he can run to another continent in a second. Sometimes he struggles to catch up to a plane. Other times he is barely faster than the goon he is fighting, who might not even have speed powers.

I adore the Flash show. I remember in one episode he was complaining that other speedsters were faster and Caitlin told him they have better technique and he just needs to pick up his drat feet which was pretty funny.

The Flash's one weakness is forgetting that he's the Flash. My favourite one of these was the time he gets chased by a swarm of killer bees, despite the previous episode being about how he learns to move fast enough to phase through solid matter.

It's amazing that the DC TV shows for the most part had the amazing revelation that escapes the movies, which is 'suppose we didn't actively despise everyone on screen at all times, but instead liked them'.

HopperUK posted:'suppose we didn't actively despise everyone on screen at all times, but instead liked them'. I fell off the CW shows around Flash S2, but its amazing how far this goes. Even if the writing is I also like how they never really felt the need to drag out mysteries and secrets longer than neccessary. Like when Roy gets experimented on and then two episodes later he tells his girlfriend "i need to show you something" and just punches through a breezeblock.

My personal excuse for CW being a big doofus sometimes is look, Barry was in a coma for like nine weeks that isn't good for your brain.
