shame on an IGA posted:each and every episode of Friends that includes Chandler Friends in general dated badly. In one episode for example Ross gets an earring and everybody treats it as it's the most radical thing ever.

Seth Macfarlane has serious issues with trans people. In Family Guy there's an episode where Quagmire's dad changes sex and Brian has sex with her without knowing it. When he realizes it he then spend the rest of the episode throwing up.

RagnarokAngel posted:Seriously thats dumb. The entire point of WotW is that the smallest thing we take for granted brings down a mighty empire. Bioengineering a virus is just "humans rule!" That's not really the message of that comic. It's more: Humans ready to do some really shady poo poo in order to win a war.

Precambrian posted:That's actually much worse. That's ladeling some edgy Jack Bauer poo poo over the actual message about colonization and the colonized, like they just had to "toughen up" and "cross ethical lines" to preserve their cultures against invaders. No. The british government is portrayed as unambiguously bad guys for using bio-weapons and launching them at south London. I mean, the whole comic starts out with the quote "The British Empire has always encountered difficulty in distinguishing between its heroes and its monsters" so I really doubt that Moore is going all ""UK gently caress yeah! Wheat Loaf posted:I believe the use of bio-weapons against the Martians is there so Nemo chooses to quit and break up the team. Not that Nemo is that much better since he's portrayed as considering a massacre of englishmen as "acceptable losses".

muscles like this! posted:He didn't want anything to do with movie adaptations long before Watchmen. IIRC his main issue with adaptations is that people were constantly bugging him about them when he had (and wanted) no involvement. Like he asked for his name to be taken off credits after V for Vendetta when Joel Silver started making claims that he approved of what they were doing with it. His main issues with the adaptions is that 20th Century Fox was sued for plagiarism and instead of saying that of course Alan Moore's story wasn't plagiarizing anyone they settled the case.

In Perfect Blue one of the character has a long monologue about how you install and use internet.

I'm sure I remember Penn saying that he'd wanted the last show of the series to be "The Bullshit of Bullshit!" addressing shows where understanding of the topics covered had changed.

Calaveron posted:I thought it was the best, at a time where they either wrote in a maudlin pregnancy or just hid the actress under bulk and props. Daphne got fat because of a feeling of inadequacy vis a vis her relationship with Niles and the show explored that over several episodes until she was sent to a fat spa/shipped off to maternity leave and there were still repercussions after that

AnoHito posted:Iirc, it wasn't so much that that they wouldn't have done it as it was that people back then didn't understand diseases well enough to do it. The black death is thought to have started because mongol warriors threw corpses into a fortress. In one of the viking sagas it's described how a fortress was won by tossing a corpse down the well of that fortress. People knew that corpses of people that have died of diseases and dung caused people to be sick even if they didn't know why.
