There was also a theory that the people in the matrix are actually the machines. Humans won the war and created the entire matrix world (including the "real" world) to keep the sentient AIs from rebelling again.

Mostly it's because the guy the movie somewhat glorifies and paints as sympathetic was by many first person accounts an rear end in a top hat and possible sociopath who loved killing. But he had a wife and family and was the victim of a random shooting after being discharged which is pretty awful.

Jontron for instance has said he's no gger, and i'm pretty sure 'twitter' isnt a part of them either Jontron is an odd one as he has said some pretty dumb things that could definitely paint him as pro-GG, but he's definitely made efforts to not be sexist.

Celery Face posted:Steal My Sunshine by Len would be a great choice. I'm a little biased because they're from my country but they were an interesting band. Seeing Todd try to decipher the lyrics would be funny too. I really don't think anyone knows. He's mentioned that one before when talking about how the late 90s pop music starting getting really upbeat after grunge faded. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he covers it in the future. I was going to suggest Lit's My Own Worst Enemy but I think they had more than one hit song thanks to being on movie soundtracks.

Miss Wallace posted:But it's true, Brad is about the only one who is actually doing a character. Diamanda Hagan has become far more frightening.  I enjoy her videos but I think she'd be even funnier if she dropped the whole "villain" schtick. Her commentary is great and can stand on its own. From her non-Hagan stuff I get the impression she's a pretty decent person too. For what it's worth, I'm really enjoying Movie Nights and have to agree with the opinions posted here that it's definitely at its best when you have a guest. The format just works a lot better with you having someone to play off of.

Tracula posted:I just hate that DC makes everything so grim dark. Not that the Marvel films are perfect or anything but at least kids can watch them and have those heros still. Kids don't really have a Batman or Superman these days unless they go back to the animated series for them. Batman was always grim outside of the Adam West series, but grim Superman movies just do not work. Superman is an extremely positive character by definition.

I'm glad at least he wanted to do it? Honestly I get the impression that none of them really liked Demo Reel after an episode or two. It was an experiment that just didn't click for the parties involved.

I've actually been with MST3k since the KTMA beginning. I just happened to live near the Minnesota border and got their satellite feed on C-SPAN. The one episode of the show I cannot stand is Hamlet. It's just such a boring, lifeless rendition of that play that it's completely unenjoyable.

[quote="Tae" post=""44329"] You mean the show that arguably ended more grim than Evangelion? [/quote] The movie did. The show itself has a happy ending. The creators tried for years to get a second series that would continue after the movie but it never happened. To the point they consider the plot lines of the super robot wars crossover games as having canon Nadesico endings.

Wheat Loaf posted:Ah, I've not seen the movie. That's the one where Ruri is the main character, isn't it? Yeah it is. It's somewhat enjoyable but ends on a very bittersweet note with most of the fun of the series sucked out of it as a whole. It's also pretty confusing on first watch because there are a ton of events that occur between it and the series that are covered in a Japan-only videogame. It's hard to really recommend.

Benny the Snake posted:Oh hey, I'm curious about armor now. Was I right about my previous assumption how it's meant to be bulky as hell or are there any real-world applications to form-fitting armor? Independent to the Zero Suit of course. A lot of it depends on the material, but completely form-fitting armor seems like a really bad idea from a physics perspective (if its too close to your skin, the force of an impact can do a good amount of harm even if the projectile doesn't break through.) Tight-fitting armor is also actually going to be very difficult to move in if it provides any decent protection. Bulky armor has its own caveats of course, like mobility. If you're armoured up like a walking tank you're going to move like one. The most used armors are stuff like kevlar vests since they're a middle ground between the extremes, offering decent protection while allowing a good range of movement.

IronicDongz posted:Regardless if armor is made to be worn by human beings, generally speaking it is not going to make them unable to move quickly because that would be stupid and probably get them killed. The big exception I was really discussing was stuff like bomb blast suits (and I suppose bear/dog armor as they follow similar principles) that are quite cumbersome and harder to move in because they're designed around taking a heavy impact over fast movement. They're basically an extreme version of full-body hockey goalie pads. Though, looking at the newer models of bear suit, they don't seem that awkward anymore:  (Hell, I could see a fairly realistic Samus "zero suit" design taking cues from that.) EDIT: I can see SOME justification for Samus having some sort of extra protection layer under her bigger (more combersome) power armor in case the latter fails but the zero suit is just silly fanservice especially with those dumb heels they added to it in Smash Brothers.

IronicDongz posted:But that's still heavy armor-and if you're talking about a 'Zero Suit' which is heavy armor, why even have one? Why not just have samus in her powersuit all the time? Works fine for most of her games. Well, I meant more if they want to have sections where you lose the armor powerups you could use something styled closer to that rather than the fanservice suit. It makes far more sense for Samus to be wearing something like that (sans helmet when in the armor) underneath than the zero suit.

It makes Samus go from "badass bounty hunter with the most badass gear around" to "Samus is literally a magical girl" which ruins so much of her character.

Jay O posted:I get what you're saying, but that's still not the level of national celebrity I'm talking about. Many Japanese voice actors release albums, hock product, go on talk shows, model for magazines, etc. Not all of them, but many, and that's the ideal for young folks going into the business. There are schools and college majors specifically for voice acting, like not even "acting," voice acting, and it's insanely competitive. Completely apples and oranges with how it works in America. Well, part of the reason it's that way is the actual pay rates for voice acting in Japan are pretty abysmal (and completely union dictated.) The smart VAs find other ways to make money without taking on a second real job because that's extremely frowned upon culturally. Also, most of what they do is completely marketed at teens more than adults since anime's purely seen as a kid/teen thing to the majority. The whole thing is kind of comparable to Hollywood in that 90% of the people trying to enter it fail, but at the same time it's not AS good for those who get ahead either. We also need to remember that audio/radio dramas are still extremely popular over there as well as theater and those productions will put more emphasis on the actors involved than videogames or cartoons.

American liberal extemists tend to be extreme in things like the environment, health and social issues. Conservative extremists want to deny rights to certain groups, bomb abortion clinics and murder doctors to "save lIves." (These are caricatures and do not represent the majority of either group. Just how they tend to be portrayed.) One comes across as ridiculously hypocritical and overall mostly harmless. The other comes across as scary.
