Hbomberguy posted:Death Note has some really fun and cool moments and characters, but at best they briefly cover up how the core story and ideas they're trying to explore just aren't very interesting. I don't think anything but the first parts with Light and L are worth exploring further. The majority of the show is the cat & mouse game between the show and is the best part easily, it's why it was so engaging. If you move it off that concept and move it into side stories about random murders, it's just not fun anymore. I'd also argue those short stories you mention were actually pretty bad and are examples of why whenever the series tried anything else than the cat & mouse game, it was received so badly.

Going back to Naomi in DN, when Light wrote her name in the Death Note, I theorized at the time I was reading that because of the way he wrote her death she wouldn't be able to kill herself in that way, thus breaking the power of the Death Note. I fully expected her to return, because surely they wouldn't kill off such a good character in such a lovely way. Right? Right?! It took me two volumes until the end to give up on this theory

KingKalamari posted:Okay, I'm just over 26 minutes into the video and all I can say is that in addition to all the problems Mother's Basement has already brought up with it, Platinum End has way too many weird, anime bullshit concepts for its own good. I wonder if supehero stuff in there was just riding the overall superhero hype train and the popularity of My Hero Academy. This is the first time i've heard of Platinum End and wow what a piece of poo poo. Good to know the writer still hates women.

Platinum End is weird because it just constantly introduces new stuff but then ditches it to get to the next plot point. Like with the superhero suit stuff, the female lead gets her suit and it is loaded with gadgets that also make her into a catgirl. Then after using it once all the catgirl stuff breaks off and it is just body armor. It basically feels like an exquisite corpse with how much stuff gets introduced and then dropped.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I watched this, and I'm not sure I buy the argument about conservatives and kids - one important thing to remember about conservatives is that they very often, though unfortunately they aren't completely exclusive in this, believe that they own their kids and can do with them whatever they want. I will say they have a multipronged approach, like they do fund an "institute for freedom" in Portugal that has this two handed way of being mostly the propaganda arm for our libertarian party (but also has to go push every other single right wing party on some sense) and what you get is this incredibly media savvy and eye catching party that for anyone who follows US politics, they are Vicent D'Onofrio's character in MIB. A propaganda arm so good they barely got a dink over anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown measures while the fascist party, which was fine with either, was pinged over it over their tone. One that skirted around our electoral propaganda laws and happily had ads during election day.

I haven't watched the big joel vid yet but I would like to remind everyone that during the antivax truck protests in ontario they brought their kids along as human shields, and once the cops finally actually instituted a blockade had their kids run gas back and forth since they didn't think the cops would arrest a bunch of 10 year olds with jerry cans

Mix. posted:this one's kind of a weird sell for people not into magic the gathering but the channel rhystic studies released a video today that's mostly a kind of meditation on how even though a lot of magic cards are worth a lot of money, they don't necessarily have a value to them since in a vacuum it's just a card with no history or connection to it (as far as when you're looking to buy it for its use), and in almost an important contrast to that concept, the story behind and assembly of a deck composed almost entirely of cards with no monetary value (mostly due to being incredibly bad condition, and the owner explicitly refuses to use sleeves either) but incredible value in terms of the story behind each card, the people it came from, and what led it to its place in the deck. it does kind of talk about the cards and the deck itself, but its more about the connection players have to the cards in their collection and how personal value can be infinitely more important rather than monetary value. Would you say that it is about the heart of the cards?

'goblins are inherently antisemitic' is literally one of my favorite tweets because it sounds like she's making a value judgement on goblins' views on Jews. Whenever I involve goblins in a D&D game at least one person in the group by now tends to say something like 'yea, get those antisemites outta here' or something.

Okay, so I'm gathering that she struggles with cartoons and a single episode of Looney Tunes with them walking on the air or dragging a hole in the floor around would melt her mind like Xenomorph acid. Is she at least good at nonfiction???
