The first Marvel version of Captain Marvel is actually dead and has been for decades (Ignoring the usual kind of short-term resurrections, time travel, journeys to the afterlife etc).

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trans women competing against cis women in boxing, wrestling, and other contact sports. I dont care when people post the bloody, one-sided aftermaths. I like seeing my sisters emerge victorious, standing tall and proud while their cis opponents lie broken and bloody with eggshell-like skulls crushed by mighty blows. I want to see cis men come at us, outraged at this display of "male violence", giving us excuse to turn on them with ferocity not seen on this earth since the mighty dinosaurs of old. The slaughter will be short and swift. Die cis scum. Blue Star has a new favorite as of 02:35 on Jul 15, 2018 |

All professional sports should use a handicapping system (like horse racing does) to make the games more interesting. If one team is clearly better than the other, what's the point in watching?

Although the most prominent one comes from a universe where Peter Parker died so at least that’s interesting. Wasn't there a clone or something at one point? I don't know, I haven't seriously followed comics for like a decade and a half.

All sports should be co-ed. There shouldn't be any weight classes. Legalize all performance enhancing drugs. Specifically state in the rule book that dogs are allowed to compete, and so are all other animals, and also robots. The team that wins the Super Bowl should be allowed to commit up to three murders per player that year. Olympic gold medal winners should be automatically made generals in the military of their home country. Baseball is boring and should be banned, but you should be able to use a baseball bat as you wish in all other sports.

A fight where it's 3 women against 1 man might be interesting to see, or a trained woman against an untrained man of the same weight class, or 2 135 men against a 265 man. Really bring back that Roman Circus atmosphere to fighting sports.

Let's swing it back to the 1800's when professional athletes had to hold down other jobs because sports were just something they were good at and liked playing, but couldn't support themselves alone.

If one team is clearly better than the other, what's the point in watching? Underdogs winning is one of the most compelling reasons to watch sports in the first place. If everyone's on an equal playing field you might as well flip a coin and send everyone home. I do agree that watching a team getting slaughtered is pretty boring (unless you are a fan of the winning team, but even then once they are up like 70-0 and the third string is in who cares), but you can still hope for more petty types of victory, like injuring their star player or at least having some cool fights.

Babylon 5, while historically significant, doesn't hold up to any real scrutiny and has not aged well at all. Or, more succinctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpb1OXvNNMc

doverhog posted:get out? Hooray! I think it's probably worth watching exactly once, because most of its power as a story comes from being caught up in the "what's gonna happen next" roller-coaster ride. The terrible dialogue, at-best competent acting (with the notable exceptions of Andreas Katsulas and Stephen Furst) and the clunky plotline and themes become much harder to ignore after that. Music was aces, tho.

To be fair it's over 15 years since I watched B5 so you might be right, don't feel confident enough about my memories to get into an argument about it.

Unpopular german history opinion: King Ludwig II (the guy who built the castle Disney based their logo on) was not insane and he didn't commit suicide. People seem far too ready to accept antiquated medical diagnoses and refuse to even consider that maybe it was a story made up to get rid of him for a combination of being homosexual and wasting money on his castles. I think the evidence is clear that he was murdered and they used his eccentricity to make up the story that he was nuts and drowned himself as a cover.

Fedoras are actually pretty good hats. They are in fact quite stylish with the right outfit. The issue is that they're associated with very gross people now. Sorry buddy but the clothes don't make the man; the man makes the clothes.

While I agree that they aren't inherently bad and they only got their reputation once fat dudes started wearing them with jorts, I think you'd still look out of date and get some weird looks even if you could pull off the look.

I hate almost every game like Gone Home where the whole gameplay is walking around looking for the story. You don't just throw out a bunch of tape recorders that play upon interacting with things or walking around a house, like an easter egg hunt, you pace out the information as the game goes along. You build up intrigue, lead up to something, not have dead silence and have the player assume that if they turn this toilet paper the correct way they'll find out why their sister is so annoying. There has to be a purpose, a reason to find out the mysteries such as "why is this house empty, where is everyone?" or "where the gently caress does the player character even fit into this family". You can't tell me that the reason to be intrigued is that you bought it for $20, its the game's purpose, not the player's, to make you interested in it. Even if I did give a poo poo about finding the story, here's what the story is: Sister is gay, afraid of coming out, so she has Gone Home to her girlfriend. Daddy dearest was diddled by his uncle the year JFK got assassinated*, and his failed JFK conspiracy books has been a real strain on his marriage, and it turns out the couple left the house to go to couples therapy. Despite the whole house being empty and looking like it's out of a horror movie, the real twist is that nothing at all has happened, and that the player character might as well be a trespasser as the family never ever mentions him or her even once. Also, the sister has this whole "plotline" about believing in ghosts. nothing comes out of this. The story is weak, the pacing of said story is glacial-to-nonexistent, the few puzzles of the game are so mind-numbingly easy that they might as well not exist, the game is well loved for no good reason at all, and yet it still inspired a genre of games that tried to chase this one's fame. The only game of its kind that I feel had effort put into it was the Stanely Parable, which had a brilliant narrative, excellent pacing, and a reason to play. *I found this out by putting the year he was assassinated into a combo lock that was on a safe in a room surrounded by photos of JFK. The game gave me an achievement for solving a puzzle without finding the piece of paper with the solution to it. I only played through Gone Home because it was free on Playstation Plus for a month and decided to see how it could inspire a genre of mostly pure garbage
