Booky posted:-i liked the mc of su and thought he was p interesting instead of boring + i generally Really Liked the show (it seemed like one of the hosts really Hated it?) I didn't watch the video but I know at least one of them is part of SU Critical, a community made up of very online cartoon understanders from Tumblr and Reddit, so I'm not surprised they would believe that. Aside from that I agree with you, Steven owns.

Reading the words "SU Critical" just sent a wave of flight or flight washing over me. Good lord what a virulent strain of brainworms that scene is. Was always fun logging in the morning after a new episode dropped to find a melange of gif sets and the most unhinged takes you could imagine about any media ever battling for supremacy on the dash.

It's dark and brooding and batman is sad he can't save his parents and use his vast wealth to solve crime forever but in another panel of another comic he has a villain who turns into an orca and her corpse is found floating in sewer water like Ophelia depicted by Millais Ghostlight fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Good lord what a virulent strain of brainworms that scene is. its been so long i forgot if it was exactly under the "critical" umbrella but once i read a tumblr post of someone who was Just Furious that a relatively early ep of SU had homages to utena, so therefore the creators were all idiot hacks who were dumbasses and morons (because i guess homages are plagiarism??); and it was just one of the most baffling things i think i've ever read

Ibblebibble posted:As someone who's actually finished the Jack Chaosmans game the writing is actually surprisingly good, along with the voice acting. They frontload a lot of the memetastic stuff but it actually gets explained later in a decently satisfying way and there's a good emotional core to the whole storyline. The combat looked fun and the initial writing seemed... choppy more than anything. It's interesting that they managed to wrap it up well though!

Terrible Opinions posted:Though this does hit on another problem that death is no more difficult to escape in comic book fiction than Arkham asylum. Hasn't the Joker himself died like half a dozen or more times in mainline continuity, or at least appeared to die even if it turned out to be a clone/robot/imposter later. i don't remember which thread posted about it but i was just informed that in recent dc comic history, there were 3 jokers based on different periods of jokers, and ultimately the final joker killed the other 2 jokers, but it was all a ruse and the final joker was the real joker the whole time and the other two were people he "jokerized" and were running rampant against his wishes because they wanted to jokerize more people. also there's an edgy joker version of batman called The Bat Man Who Laughs which admittedly has a very Venom movie design that is cool but also extremely dumb. comicbooks rock

Edge & Christian posted:Three Jokers started when Geoff Johns did a big thing where Batman got a magic knowledge chair and asked it the true identity of the Joker. The chair was like "which one, there are three of them!" And Batman was shocked. Then Geoff Johns went off to work on DC films for a few years and Batman forgot about it until Geoff Johns came back.

Ghostlight posted:he plays counter strike Batman Inc. should just be the canon ending to Batman in general. Bruce Wayne puts his billions to actual use and just turns Batman into a PMC and loving retires. Just pay other people to be Batman, you’re the richest man in the world for gently caress sake.

The 7th Guest posted:yea I think it's a cute and entertaining show with very well-executed comedy, solid representation, and manages to have positive messages for its target audience without it being a mandatory episodic lesson for the sake of having one. also some fun drama and character arcs to quote marge, i just think its neat (and same with shows like new she-ra, which are also v fun watches)

Annointed posted:Voltron was fun and then hosed up with last season trashfire and some dead gays. Yeah, Voltron fans basically left the Voltron actors fearing for their physical safety at the worst of the weirdass shitstorm surrounding the show. Voltron was like 75% a really great show, and then 25% an absolutely abysmal show and much like Game of Thrones, the portion of it that's not good casts an eclipse pall on the portion of it that's actually really cool and good and fun and I can never see myself going back and watching either show again because of it. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Apr 4, 2022 |

I enjoyed Voltron but up until I watched the Veredis Joe videos on the show I had no idea that people cared about Lance gaining a sword that he never used. That said I think it was really a missed opportunity for the Altean shape shifting to play a bigger role in things. They use it literally twice and never again.

To me, Voltron's biggest dropped ball was Lotor. They didn't have the balls to properly redeem him and integrate him into the cast as a full member of the team, so they threw out three seasons of meticulous plotting and character growth to turn him into Space Turbo Hitler out of nowhere and then literally melt him into goo and forget about him. And then absolute lunatics on Tumblr started fomenting a theory that there was a secret Lotor Cut of seasons 7 and 8 out there and that Lotor was painstakingly edited out of every frame of the show as part of some vast conspiracy on the part of Dreamworks. Just absolute bonkers poo poo.

Mind you this was also around the time that people were starting to accrete into a drat near full on QAnon, But For Television/Movies/Comics/Cartoons/Video Games conspiratorially minded subculture that is very slowly (hopefully) coming to its senses and washing back out to sea these days with the changing internet and cultural tides. Notice, for example, how nobody these days is crowing about how Kathleen Kennedy is almost totally for real this time about to be definitely maybe fired from LucasFilm for the crime of making Disney several billion dollars more than it bought Star Wars for originally. The clowns who used to make that their whole brand have been swept under the rug because they were publicly wrong one too many times. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Genthil posted:
I'm probably missing a bunch as I was off Tumblr for She-Ra's airing but glimpses of The Discourse seemed to pivot entirely around "Adora and Catra aren't immediately a couple after episode one this is queerbaiting" before morphing into "Adora and Catra's relationship is abusive and Not Real Queer Representation tm". With a side dose of "I'm shocked and appalled on behalf of those poor Enbies over Double Trouble. No I haven't talked to one about how they feel about this character shut up". Not nearly the same virulence or raw sandblasting power as SU Critical, though the "Double Trouble is a nonce" takes were approaching that before being rightfully laughed out the door.

sexpig by night posted:Yea I obviously can't say what her 'deal' is but she certainly does show a genuine hostility to sexuality in media in general that's likely wrapped up in something I mean, it seems like the entirety of her understanding of media and culture can be summed up as "children's cartoons," so I think that speaks for itself. I'd love to see how she'd react to something like Ingmar Bergman's Persona, to be honest. Also point 84 feels like it's having a go at one of my all-time favourite films, Mulholland Drive, where it is very necessary, thank you very much. I don't mean that in a "send me to horny jail please" way, but in a "it's actually genuinely important to the themes and ideas that underpin the film" way. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 09:42 on Apr 4, 2022 |

I genuinely loved this trend. Some people convinced themselves an entire BBC tv series based on a popular novel was a stealth fourth season for Sherlock because the last season of Sherlock was so bad they didn't believe it was real, and the lead actress's name was Emily Watson, which couldn't possibly be a coincidence!
