In hindsight Scarecrow being Cillian Murphy was kinda weird.

Fil5000 posted:I liked a lot of JMS's run, totem, Morlun and all, but secret twins (and DeafNote's update above does not make that plot line better), the 9/11 issue and Mephisto deleting his marriage all needed to gently caress off. I know that the last of those was mandated by editorial but gently caress me, JMS should have just refused and left the book rather than write any of that. Yeah, and the confrontation Peter had with the Kingpin towards the run-up to OMD is legit one of my favorite comic moments ever. If OMD hadn't been such a loving disaster, people would have been talking about that moment for years

I think the last time I enjoyed a batman comic was Damiens introduction and Bruce's death because they're did a great job writing the bat family as a family. How everyone scrambled and broke after that was interesting. Dick trying to step up and hood everyone together, Tim being mad about being replaced by the new baby and finally making his own place in the world, Jason not dealing with it at all, Damien trying to find room to be in the family, Catwoman and Alfred trying to keep everyone from killing each other. It was great. Cassandra not being sure how to help anyone (and then doing nothing because the execs at DC hate her for some reason). And then they brought Bruce back, and all of it was meaningless, lol

I don't remember her ever looking like a kid, but it was cool to have a dwarf important character that was just a person with dwarfism.      Superior Spider-Man was cool though.

DeafNote posted:Good news. I'm glad Spider-Gwen is supplanting whatever remnants of a public image and role Gwen Stacy plays in Spidey media because it saves her from having to be reused in these same garbage plotlines over and over. Same with Harley finally establishing an identity as an independent bisexual disaster separate from having to keep running back into an abusive relationship with the Joker every time someone can't figure out something else to do with her. Oh and as far as youtube videos, I've been watching a few videos from naomi cannibal lately. She does a lot of commentary and analysis on pop culture and pop music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L14J-IUaueE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq7lLqWOz-k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrs1kIysW2Q

I get that the fate of ongoing comics is to forever bounce between "Author who reverts it back to his favored old setting and have readers mad that it's stale" and "Author shaking the status quo up with his personal fetish and have people mad it'd not the same", but holy poo poo!

okay let's try this again now that it's out proper: Thew's latest video is a review of all the Unicron toys. Including the Haslab one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3BFwkWEXiw&hd=1 It's worth a watch, the haslab unicron straight up gave him an existential crisis, making him question why he does this and what he even wants from the hobby. Probably the realest he's ever gotten in his videos. Also, I love the reveal about why he shaved most of his beautiful beard. he was trimming it and accidentally shaved a big chunk out of one of the sides so he had to shave it all off except the part around his mouth

nine-gear crow posted:One of the more fascinating things I learned about The Critical Drinker is that he's also a failed military thriller author, just like Ben Shapiro is. He's got more books to his name than Benny Shaps does, but they're all that same kind of "perfect Mary Sue always right (male, always male) rogue solider solves a terrorism through judicious violence and racial profiling" slop you can find for cheap at an airport book store. If only there was someone in history who was indicative of psycho-reactionary tendencies coming about from being a failed artist and being salty about it. Oh well.

Yeah, she's got pretty prominent hips in most of those that visually code her as "Adult woman". The only one of those images where I feel like she could be mistaken for a child is the one of her swiping the cell phone, and even there I think that's more because her figure's being covered up by the position of her arms and the file folder.

I don't even think Ben Shapiro would produce one of that doofus's screenplays, especially if they're anything like his novels. It's extremely informative to know that his main operating thesis of "All modern movies suck" has a "because they're not written by ME" on the end of it written in invisible ink. Also this, that was the face I made when I read the bold part.

so i recently did a [high number of hours] drive and one of the things i do is download videos to my phone and listen (and sometimes briefly look at the screen when weird poo poo happens) to a bunch of videos, think some of these were covered by other people here by ok this is what i watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtckN-VaZ-g I don't know who Chad Chad is except they came on my rec feed, but they covered that viral video of a guy on a hoverboard yelling expletives at a bunch of executive dudes crawling on their backs on train tracks. it goes a bit deeper into the guy organizing the bootcamps and it's very funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpwIpugc-4c Same thing, dunno who Anda is but she came up on the rec, and it's a video of her reading some terrible indie books. I didn't know Baby in A Blender was a book and they also said yeah please do not look out for it. But her overall assessment is a lot of these "extreme horror" books are just edgelord nonsense and she didn't really care for most of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPHq_7d_dXQ Oh yeah this Babbdi game seems weird as hell. Probably only got this because Jacob Geller highlighted in in his real spaces in vidya video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh-r_HGrCQA I don't know why this is a "local legends" video when I have not been to any of the places they feature but it is cool knowing there's so much history and legacy in these street food that I eat on a regular basis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YuNvIfM-YA this video was the one knee-deep in the xqc react drama (apparently xqc played it, left the room and then returned 15 minutes later to laugh at something he doesn't understand), I recommend this, it's pretty well done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEZswo6aQaU "as a kid I love collecting glitzy iphone customization screens, they were soooo 2013" 2013 was a decade ago!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C9cF7z1WNk i don't think anyone needs to know but the flash is such a massive failure lol and this actually goes into some detail on how bad it is, i wish there were a video on all the background shenanigans though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXYshpRZS0k James loving rules, his music is absolutely not my thing but he rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xs421EjkeA UK must be in some hellscape where I somehow do not even know until now that a doom mod featuring Margaret Thatcher as a demon you need to kill became a huge controversy involving Corbyn. Includes a Tim Rogers special appearance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArmDp-zijuc They keep using the term "heightened reality" in CD but this video is that at its purest form. wtf is even going on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x04ssLoNs2g ok yeah wow i knew most of these but i didn't know that the pyramid head lady was bullying the poo poo out of CWHM knowing she was pregnant and stressed and then threatened to do various streams and video "exposes" on her, and also going on twitter to say "oh we live in the same state really close to each other, just letting my viewers know hee hee" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qK2Nzsvik0 i liked the part joel pointed out the seemingly throwaway scene of other kids discovering the protags' camp is an allegory of the audience watching the protags suffer then leaving their theatre seats and going home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvDGqAtNzUc i don't know who he is but his editing rules, but not as good as joe is hungry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA49WgGOKp4 Before I watch the video: "hmm i only know that is the series where people get thrown off a cliff a lot" After: "so there is canon lore that the kangaroo character was replaced by his wife and child in future games and his wife cucked him with a velociraptor, and he couldn't do anything about it, because he spent one of the games playing video games and eating pizza pretending to have been kidnapped by the same evil scientist who made a guy a murderous cyborg for fun." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fIRv1mG3DY this is so goddamn dumb lmfao

I guess a "jaywalking law" in this context would be just a country's traffic regulations or something, I dunno
