western-series

[white smelt]

Like it’s shockingly bad

[foggy mirage]

Needed that money for interstellar

Thats why

[spiral quest]

Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne, Will Freidle as Terry McGinnis, and Reno in 2004's The Batman are really the top of my list

Batinson is great too

[foggy mirage]

Honestly Gunn needs to never look at Nolan shit

I hope he acts like that shit doesnt exist

[spiral quest]

I give Nolan credit for The Dark Knight. That is legit one of the best crime thrillers ever. Not a great time for Batman as a character portrayal by Bale tho

[foggy mirage]

Bale was not it

As batman for me

[white smelt]

The worst thing about Nolan bats is how terrible Bruce is

[foggy mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sir-i-dont-like-it-horse-gif-10436793

[spiral quest]

Crazy how Nolan's Batman/Bruce is one of the worse takes on the character

In a trilogy about Batman

[foggy mirage]

Its just so much wrong with it

Like I just dont understand

[white smelt]

Imagine a good Batman beyond. How would they even do the suit

It looks dumb in 3d

[foggy mirage]

Nah it works irl

[white smelt]

It would have to be a spider verse type of thing

Super stylized

[spiral quest]

Idk how you can but if they ever can get it right lemme know because Beyond is my 2nd favorite Batman anything

[white smelt]

I need to rewatch it

[spiral quest]

Terry McGinnis deserves way fucking better

[foggy mirage]

Just don't do the mouth

[white smelt]

Batman beyond ||they wrong for doing a Bruce Barbara romance though ||

[foggy mirage]

Sabble idk if we can get away with the mouth

😭

[spiral quest]

Bruce Timm is an asshole for that

[spiral quest]

Yehhhhhhhhhhh probs not

[foggy mirage]

Absolute ass

[foggy mirage]

Looking at fan stuff you can take the mouth and it still works

[spiral quest]

The second one I like more

[foggy mirage]

Just keep the eyes white

[spiral quest]

I don't view Terry as like buff

[white smelt]

Am I remembering wrong but ||don’t they make terry Bruce’s kid also?|| Batman beyond big spoilies

[spiral quest]

That's in JLU

And it's the stupidest shit

[white smelt]

[foggy mirage]

Classic comic shit ngl

Lmao

[spiral quest]

I still remember being like of all the unnecessary bullshit

I refuse to believe it happened

[foggy mirage]

Pretty sure they said in jlu justice league unlimited || batman beyond is the future.||

[spiral quest]

There are so many good things in btas, beyond, stas, jl, jlu

They really just

Had to throw in some stupid shit

[foggy mirage]

I mean most people love that universe

They did a lot of good proving what you can do with the league

I don't think we'd have all these fans without it

[spiral quest]

The League made me love Hawkgirl, Manhunter, and John Stewart. Even if Kyle Rayner is my personal Lantern

[white smelt]

Batman beyond ||One of my favorite episodes is the sound dude. The fight just being dead silent was so sick as a kid||

[spiral quest]

Batman Beyond ||Shriek was awesome, I loved a few of the villains a lot and wish they could come back. The nerd with the mech could go away||

[white smelt]

Blow it all up

[foggy mirage]

I do enjoy me some Spiderman 2099

[white smelt]

Henry Rollins ass

[foggy mirage]

And beyond ngl

[spiral quest]

I need to crack open my 2099 omni some more

[foggy mirage]

Its a great time

Funny enough you dont really run into toxic Terry or Miguel fans

[white smelt]

I tried 2099 it was a tough read

Got like 7 issues in

[foggy mirage]

You gotta come at it as a different breed

You come at it like he's Peter or this is 616

It'll be a tough read

[white smelt]

A lot of older stuff tend to be super verbose and doesn’t let the art breath

[spiral quest]

I don't disagree

[foggy mirage]

Like I had to walk a friend through ultimate spiderman

[spiral quest]

But I enjoy it either way

[foggy mirage]

By bendis

[white smelt]

Bendis is my worst enemy

[frank rivet]

i like terry mcginnis, but ima be honest. I don't like his villains fr 😭

[spiral quest]

Not all of his villains are good

[foggy mirage]

Bendis also has top 3 or 2 best Spiderman run

[spiral quest]

But some are awesome

[foggy mirage]

With ultimate

So I can't shit on him for that one

[frank rivet]

@foggy mirage my hype for Lanterns has grown exponentially since my desire to watch more detective shit recently

[foggy mirage]

Ultimate is so iconic we still seeing its effects

20 years later

[frank rivet]

patiently waiting a trailer

[foggy mirage]

Peak decision

Welcome to the corp

Be warned the life expectancy for a green lantern on average is 4 years and 6 months

No pressure

[frank rivet]

who would of thought Guy Gardner would get me to like Laterns

[white smelt]

It’s so funny that miles is so adored but his ultimates run I think people don’t really vibe with. It’s such tonal whiplash coming from spider verse movies

[foggy mirage]

It did not get good till bendis stopped writing miles

He wrote a fantastic peter

But an OK miles

[spiral quest]

Oh and the Terrific Trio were cool

[white smelt]

Sarah Pichelli is a goat she didn’t deserve bendis

[frank rivet]

i liked Spellbinder, Dee Dees annoy the shit out of me 😭

[foggy mirage]

Lanterns show about to spawn new gl fans

Welcome to the fanbase typeshit

[frank rivet]

how much cgi do you think they will use

we know it will be very grounded

[foggy mirage]

this is how we're gonna have @frank rivet by the end of s1

[spiral quest]

Good Lantern media is needed

[foggy mirage]

When it comes to lanterns

[spiral quest]

I foresee many many more John Stewart fans and you know what hell yeah

Just wish Hal Jordan coulda taken a back seat a bit

[frank rivet]

i grew up on John so it will be interesting

i only knew hal from the movies

[foggy mirage]

They said fantastic shit will happen

Show has John and Hal

And guy of course

Kyle remains to be seen

[frank rivet]

Guy 😎

[foggy mirage]

They had to bring him in man is important

😭

I already know they gonna go deep on geoff John stuff

Zero chance they don't

[frank rivet]

from my understanding its like Hal is retired in this or semi retired

so its basically a origin story

[foggy mirage]

He seems older so my guess is he's been a lantern for years already

[spiral quest]

Idk if you can tell but I am

https://tenor.com/view/im-a-little-biased-dwayne-johnson-seven-bucks-the-rock-i-am-partial-gif-21864070

[foggy mirage]

You in the Kyle train im usually team whoever gets it done

[spiral quest]

I love Rayner and think he gives the Green Lantern title it's best chance for creative constructs

Not just a middle finger or a boxing glove

[white smelt]

What’s the lore for there being so many human lanterns

Like while still alive

[foggy mirage]

This is true, they can do the jl dwarves for digging

Earth is the lynchpin of the universe wanze

And life originated there in some versions

If i remember correctly

Also a bunch of the people on earth tend to have the will power needed to be lanterns

So they get multiple

It's just that important to defend

So much shit happens on earth

That having that many is prudent

You dont have darkseid running straight at dingus 23 in the Andromeda cluster

That mf is on earth

😭

[white smelt]

But like before Hal they had one dude and he was an alien. Then he died and Hal was up next. But then Hal is still alive and we just kept getting more and more earth ones. Plus you got all the non lantern heroes on earth defending shit so like why does the universe keep printing out more rings for earth

[foggy mirage]

Shit wasn't as hot back then

Once people like superman, wonder woman, and batman showed up

Threats shot up

As well as frequency

Before shit happened on earth but it was like hundreds of years if not thousands in between

Every couple months multiverse or universe shattering stuff is going on by the modern story

Like shit happens all across the universe but earth is where it tends to be the busiest and hottest

[white smelt]

They should make more alien lanterns in that sector

|| looks like braniac won't be able to forge the message like a lot of people predict ||

Superman Saga News (@SuperSagaNews)

James Gunn doubles down on the 'Superman' heritage twist and confirms it will not be retconned

"I am a big Superman fan. I don't want to change important, integral things.. his goodness of heart, the fact that he won't kill, the fact that he's in love with Lois Lane, even the curl on the head.. so the question is, 'what can you add to the mythos that's a little bit different, that doesn't really essentially change who the character is..'"

"I think it works. It is not something that is going to be retrofitted in the future. It is the fact of Superman's life"

Superman 2025 ||I actually like the twist on his heritage. It actually makes his heart that much better.||

[frank rivet]

Superman 2025 - || it flows with my favorite origin story of Supes so i dig it ||

[spiral quest]

Superman 2025 ||I also love it because it puts the Kents as his source of comfort at the end. I really think the Kents should be important and there was a while there it felt like Krypton was getting a lot of focus in some media of Superman I saw. As he said in the movie, he's as human as anyone and the Kents as a focus instead of having this "what were my real parents like" in the background is better||

All Dune Movies ||did the big laser vomiting space fetuses that look like Super Metroid bosses have an equivalent in the modern films I don't remember em||

[modern lichen]

Dune films || no ||

[sage remnant]

No. Modern films completely remove some aspects of the source

Dune movies || Even Mentats are present like in 2 scenes ||

[near echo]

I've owned the book for like 14 years and still haven't fucking read it

I'll be real people talk about the Lynch film as a travesty and all around terrible but i don't think this is that bad

Maybe I just have no taste (don't reply to this)

[sage remnant]

Its campy

[mild seal]

reply

[near echo]

Hey.

Why is Patrick Stewart in this it keeps taking me out of the movie

[spiral quest]

It's good but also I'll never read it again

I read Dune and Messiah, got halfway through Children of Dune and checked out. I love the story as whole, love the modern movies, but like lord of the rings, the actual books themselves I can respect and revere for what they did without reading them again

[white smelt]

I read the first book a long long time ago and I found myself laughing cause it’s proto George Martin. Like he just straight up stole Herbert’s prose

Superman 2025 ||I still have mixed feelings on this twist||

[near echo]

Dune 1984 ||Okay lmao at the credits animation what the fuck man
this feels like the start of a porno or an early 90s fmv game||

Terrible adaption of the book but it had everything in the world working against it and I think Lynch navigated through the web of complications to prioritize the right things with the resources he had. Made the best of a bad situation

I ended up liking it but also I get why people who care about Dune more than I do get really flustered regarding this movie

original or deluxe edition for batman year one?

or does it not matter

[burnt lake]

I dont think it should matter

[shrewd sigil]

alr ty

[burnt lake]

Might be some coloring differences but thats it really

[shrewd sigil]

yeah the coloring is very different but I didn't know if there was any differences in the writing itself

[burnt lake]

Yeah no the writing is the same

[modern lichen]

Deluxe

Mazzuchelli’s art is extraordinary to look at with great scans

[shrewd sigil]

yeah that's the one I'm reading

trying to find a good alternative for comick was beating my ass for a bit

[burnt lake]

For comics I just use GetComics and ReadComicOnline

I prefer using getcomics tho

[shrewd sigil]

thats what I'm using

i like read comics online but being able to read off of my normal reading app sounds nicer

[burnt lake]

Its kind of a bitch to do but I like using mihon to read stuff

[foggy mirage]

Great taste

https://tenor.com/view/the-sopranos-gif-22710838

Very nice to see a fellow shining sequel enjoyer

Absolutely loved the book and Mike managed to unite Kubrick version and the book

Directors cut is also a fat W

[tawny parcel]

Insane string of sentences that movie is utter cow manure

[foggy mirage]

Its ok to have a shit take

But I completely disagree

One of the best horror sequels ever made

Anytime Flanagan touches king material he turns into a 5 star chef

Doctor put me to sleep

Dr sleep ||A movie that’s boring when it tries to be it’s own thing but then gets so utterly obsessed with Kubrick in the last third that it’s like wtf are we even here for||

[foggy mirage]

Low attention span activity

Dr sleep ||whole point is to build off the true knot and Abra hunt. The first act is literally getting a frame work for adult Danny. Idk how you are bored with great character building.||

[tawny parcel]

I’ve never been more baffled by a reception to a film then the general consensus on dr sleep

[foggy mirage]

Yeah maybe you're just wrong

Hi I'm bon and I like the play and read 7 Oz books and plan on buying the vinyl

Something of a fan

Wicked Part 2 / Play end (how do I tag Broadway shows) ||For Good and No Good Deed are literally enough to get me to buy a ticket||

||also the lack of additions and liberties regarding what's covered in the MGM movie has me worried Bach is still gonna be terrible, which sucks cuz Tin Mans my favorite character in the books||

[tawny parcel]

You’re that much of a oz fan???

I watched the musical wicked and I cant lie i can barely remember the 2nd half

[near echo]

I'm a Broadway kid

And also a fan of Narnia and Neverending Story

That whole subgenre of fantasy is kinda my alley

Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies of all time which feels generic to say but maybe not now that it's 2025 and it's almost a hundred years old

[spiral quest]

The fact it is that old and holds up decently well in insane

[near echo]

To this day I regret not going into set design

Feel like that's my passion

But it's a bit late for that

[spiral quest]

I was an actor in high school but I never pursued it like I wanted to in college

I understand it

[near echo]

I had like four professors call me a moron for not pursuing it

[spiral quest]

What kept you from it

[near echo]

Idk
Social anxiety? An obsession with comics? Almost blowing up my school workshop by setting the gas pump incorrectly?

Last ones real btw

[spiral quest]

Well

That would certainly fuckin do it

[near echo]

I'm the most braindead person on this server it's why I'm a wicked fan

||you know the movie is gonna make it 4||

I remember having to take a sculpture class for my majors essential courses

And my professor was Chinese with a bit of a language gap, and also a very abstract minded person

So he asked for a minimalist project and I kept presenting him like 5 different pitches

And he kept telling me I'm not seeing the essence

And I fuckin gave up when I only had a week left to do it

Asked him to draw me the essence cuz I can't figure it out and he can't communicate it

He drew me a pile of wood

Thought he was taking a piss. He was serious.

I threw half the workshops spare wood on the ground the day of. When my presentation came around I straight up said the teacher told me to do it

He said not all art is even recognized my the artist who made it and true genius is a social acknowledgement and then gave me an A on my scrap pile

That's when I never touched a shop class again and gave up the idea of being in a workshop

Sorry, I went off on a tangent and its mostly drug induced, I'll delete that if anyone asks

Not apologizing for seeing Wicked Pt 2 in theaters tho

Slopkino

[young compass]

you were supposed to have an epiphany about the artistic journey

[near echo]

Man gave us a Tim Burton project where we had to make Nightmare Before Christmas puppets with specific reference sheets

He gave everyone that followed the assignments criteria a C

I got paired with the pretentious kid who welded a stick figure together and played a speech from John the Baptist as I waved its arm in real time and we got an A+

I do not take his opinions as an artist seriously.

Genuinely all our assignment sheets were broken English and probably Google translated tho I don't think it's entirely his fault his class sucked

[modern lichen]

[near echo]

Now you guys know why I'm the way I am

[white smelt]

Sad truth is that if you’re teaching art at a college (unless it’s some prestigious art college and they scouted you for big $$$) you didn’t make it and you get bozos like that

[near echo]

Not drunk enough to admit what school I went to and COMPLETELY dox myself but we certainly weren't prestigious

We also had a weird program where we did multimedia 101 classes halfway into our JUNIOR year

Which I actually appreciate now cuz I'm a weird psuedo multimedia artist whenever I actually draw

But I sure as hell didn't at the time

[worthy crypt]

We had stem people taking ceramics in senior year and a lot of people didn't care and the teacher was a nice guy and I could tell it kinda hurt his feelings and it made me sad

[near echo]

I can't necessarily call it a bad school but I don't think it prepped us very well for a career in such a fragile industry

[white smelt]

Stem folk should absolutely take humanities cause then you end up with Silicon Valley ai bros when you cater to them with stem versions of English and art classes

[modern lichen]

I’m a STEM guy who does a ton of humanities stuff

Art is a tonic for the soul

In 10-15 years I want to earn enough money to just go and study literature or something

The tech industry is a nightmare

[worthy crypt]

That's the dream I'm chasing. I live super cheap invest all my money hoping I can do something more fulfilling in a few years if I stockpile enough money

[white smelt]

Sooooo… that happened!! - Ryan “Hail Mary” Gosling

Got a little reading to do

[spiral quest]

LFG KYLE RAYNER ZERO HOUR

[sage sleet]

i would REALLY like to see kyle have a big presence in the dcu maybe he could be the lantern that is in other sectors of the galaxy n we see him n the other alien lanterns

tbh i really loved guy gardner in superman that i genuinely would be happy if it were guy and kyle having a big impact on the actual space side of lanterns

keep john for earth

[spiral quest]

I don't see Kyle getting anything and tbh

That fucking blows

Dont get me wrong, John and Hal are really cool. Guy is funny in the movie but tbh Ive never felt much for Guy Gardner

[trim ingot]

Yoo any of yall power scalers?

[spiral quest]

Kyle is just the most interesting Lantern due to his background and I love that he Nightwing and Wally flash are all friends

Nah I don't power scale myself

[trim ingot]

Oh ok

Have u read cas's comic

[spiral quest]

I can't say that's familiar to me off rip, what is it?

[sage sleet]

I remember someone posted like 10 random chars and Kyle was one of em. Then Gunn said like 5 were planned or sumn like that

I have faith but I’m ready to accept a Kyle less dcu

[spiral quest]

I accept Kyle not in the dcu because I love him

And if I love a character

They usually dont get a lot of spotlight

[sage sleet]

I have faith…

Tbf I never in a million years thought we’d see chars like Mr terrific or metamorpho in a Superman movie or quite honestly any movie whatsoever

[foggy mirage]

Sabble

Calmn down he can still show up

😭

[sage sleet]

Wonder if we’ll see red tornado

[spiral quest]

At the very least

He wont be a main lantern

And that saddens me

[fresh umbra]

Me too but it's kinda hard to adapt his origin into a live action universe

But then again they haven't been trying anything with any green lantern until now

I guess there's a chance to for him to show up since in lanterns ||there's a decent chance Hal will be out of the picture by the end of the show. Maybe Kyle will be introduced for John to become some sort of mentor figure once he's the main GL||

[sage sleet]

I wonder how many lanterns will be shown like most likely just be 2-3 but I feel they could have a whole universe going just off lantern stuff

Excited none the less

Peacemaker s2 ep6 ||So the synopsis we got was probably for all 3 of the last episodes because we didn’t see any of Judomaster and Adrian hasn’t come back yet||

||I think the crazy cameos that James was talking about are just gonna be Superman characters to set up MoT, not anyone completely new||

[sage sleet]

Peacemaker s2 episode 6 || I think people are expecting way too much out of episodes 6-8. Taking it for more than what it is like the lex cameo and set up for man of tomorrow was dope ash and we MIGHT get some more cameos but we also may get nothing. People gotta just enjoy for what it is bigger picture or not ||

[modern lichen]

I thought Acolyte was fine so I don’t agree

Looked and sounded worth the money

[valid thunder]

Avatar movies lowkey

Never met a single person who watched avatar 2

[arctic flax]

Avatars weird, they gross a lot but not many ppl talk about the movies

ive never seen them besides the first one in my school

[sage remnant]

???

Tons of people have

[valid thunder]

Who

[sage remnant]

I have

Harsh has. Fed has.

[valid thunder]

Ur the exception

[sage remnant]

Vemqi has

[valid thunder]

Like compare the discourse around infinity war and endgame to avatar 2

[sage remnant]

Plenty of people here had talked about it lol

[arctic flax]

Theres not much to talk about avatar aside from them being a visual spectacle

[sage remnant]

IW and EG are popular for different reasons compared to Avatar

[valid thunder]

I am talking about irl. Ofcourse nerds online have watched the most expensive movie ever made

[sage remnant]

Avatar is popular for its visuals

[arctic flax]

They have fandom hype which is what avatar lacks

[sage remnant]

A lot of my irl friends have lol

It doesn't have staying power or pop culture impact yes

But it has impact of being a phenomenon and being immediately forgotten both times

And its gonna be third time too

[near echo]

I liked Avatar 2

[sage remnant]

Avatar. 2 || The Underwater scene was amazing ||

[valid thunder]

Its just not the same. Like when avengers movies drop, its a cultural event. Even dune 2 had way more staying power and people talked about it way more,

[sage remnant]

It doesn't have any pop culture impact yes. No one's denying that

[near echo]

There's an enormous gulf between Avatars popularity as a media franchise and Avatars box office sales yeah

It's a series known for its visual effects

[sage remnant]

Exactly

[near echo]

Its never translated to like
Fandoms or games or merch

[sage remnant]

I don't talk about it. I forget most of it in a week after watching it
But I am gonna watch the third one lol.
It's same for most people

[near echo]

And I think the third movie is gonna be the real testing ground to see if each films gonna do this well and it's a silent juggernaut, because people just wanna see something solid and pretty looking?

Or if 2 was mostly watched because people were surprised they made another one

[arctic flax]

Its like demon slayer except the popularity

[sage remnant]

It's 100% gonna be this

[valid thunder]

Demon slayer has like a huge presence on social media tho

[sage remnant]

r/LowStakesConspiracies

Smh

[valid thunder]

U can say demon slayer is popular because of the visuals but the popularity is there

Cant say the same for avatar

[arctic flax]

Yeah thats what i said. Both are mainly watched for the visuals but DS is also has popularity

[near echo]

You know how the Broadway musical Cats is the most popular show in the city because tourists and immigrants and other walks of people who aren't totally familiar with English, or have different tastes than middle class New Yorkers, can still enjoy a show where people dress in cat costumes and sing about cats?

[modern lichen]

You can see the money on the frame in the Avatar movies

[near echo]

Easiest barrier of entry and retains all the spectacle you're paying for

Avatar feels like that to me

[sage remnant]

Bon coming with an analogy that's so alien lmao

[arctic flax]

Simple stuff sell more

[sage remnant]

😭

[modern lichen]

What about the adaptation of highly acclaimed music Cats directed by Oscar winning director Tom Hooper

[near echo]

On the watchlist

I'll check it out on a day i want to vomit

[arctic flax]

They say u end up on fbi watchlist for watching that

[near echo]

I hope Disney's live action version of Aristocats looks like the Cats movie and the Human owners are just green screened to be huge like the giants in OP Season 2

If you're gonna make slop at least make it funny

[near echo]

I forget I'm the only one here that goes to stage plays lol

But yeah I think the things that brutally damage Avatar as a franchise are the things that make it sell so well with each movie

It's shallow, it's all mocap CG, it's mostly a visual rollercoaster. Perfect for the family during the holidays when you don't wanna watch a kids film

[modern lichen]

I’ve seen the popular recorded version of the original musical of Cats

It’s got its charm

[near echo]

Yeah I like cats

Haven't seen it in so long I barely remember it but I know I've seen it lol

[modern lichen]

It’s not a particularly good musical but it’s so out there it’s charming

The movie is an abomination in every respect

[near echo]

What even happened there

[modern lichen]

I would’ve devoured the scrapped Dreamworks animated adaptation of it

The movie? Director ego

Tom Hooper took possibly the worse possible routes for every single creative direction

[near echo]

Makes the fuckin Rent movie look amazing by comparison

[modern lichen]

So many things that are utterly incredulous

[near echo]

That reminds me, I saw a while ago some Disney animator did an animatic of Defying Gravity for Wicked cuz she wanted it to be an animated film

[main lion]

theyre not really doing an aristocats live action are they?

[near echo]

And on one hand I'm like ---they are

"this totally would blow the live action adaptions out of the water"

[main lion]

I love that movie. Time to kms ig

[near echo]

On the other I'm like
"I take a small pleasure in knowing Disney's copyright law abuse has permanently locked them out of Oz even though they clearly want it so I don't want them to adapt Wicked"

Lesser of two evils

[near echo]

I bet it'll be Disney+ like that Lady & The Tramp one

I don't think it has the weight for a theatrical run?
Might be wrong

Like Lion King was a critical failure that made stupid money cuz it's the fuckin Lion King I'm not sure Aristocats has that safety net

[main lion]

people will see the theatrical version if they leave in the racism

[near echo]

I was gonna reply with a joke but American politics aren't allowed on this server 😔

[main lion]

can at least say "itll draw in the 'relax, its called dark humor' crowd "

[near echo]

I was gonna ask what Disney's worst live action reboot is and then I remembered that fuckin Chip n Dale movie

[main lion]

I havent seen 90% of them after the jungle book or w/e

[near echo]

I've actually never seen one

I need to know where to start.

[main lion]

just save yourself the time but make sure to pirate them if you watch...

[near echo]

I've been thinking of watching movies with a friend of mine and his media opinions are so universally terrible I want my choices to make him suffer

[sage remnant]

I have only seen Maleficient

Idk I had enjoyed it

But I was also like a teen/preteen

Watched Waking sleeping beauty

I'm shocked at how fucking brutally honest they were about their executive drama and financial stumbles. Just an abridged version of Disney Wars with behind the scenes footage to contextualize it

Even the mistreatment of the employees

I guess they were allowed to be open cuz they could treat Don Bluth as the mustache twirling villain of the story

I hate Jeffrey Katzenberg lol

Got a lot of respect for Roy though

https://tenor.com/view/cat-carrying-kitten-lets-go-home-time-for-your-nap-gif-15014957

[rich meadow]

not really lol. I said jjk because the format of this meme originally came from the jjk fanbase I believe. And I keep seeing it being used for the weirdest stories. Memes like that only work for stories that don't take themselves seriously enough

Like the other day I saw one for the lord of the rings and Aragorn

[timber gale]

It did

[rich meadow]

and I was like, "ok yall are trying too hard now lol"

[timber gale]

Yall have to realize that 95% of the stuff I post is jokes

I know Blood Meridian is a great book

[near echo]

Not sure this works

Homestuck Pilot ||Genuinely a pretty great adaption but early Homestuck is just so intimately tied to the CYOA format and fourth wall videogame interface that trying to reframe any of it in a cartoon kinda makes it lose most of the charm. Keeping the sylladex bits at all feels like missing the point.||

Homestuck ||and late stage Homestuck actually would fit better but by that point the series is a cancer devouring itself so I ain't gonna watch that either||

[main lion]

yeah I thought it was whatever. I dont have any homestuck exposure though

[near echo]

Homestuck ||this is what the comic looks like for the scenes this covered

Jokes like "equipping your arms" or "picking up an inventory card but accidentally adding it as an item in your inventory" come from the framework of being a Point & Click adventure game parody||

[main lion]

oh, yeah Im fully aware of what it is and I have gone through like the first 10 "pages" of the original "comic/game" thing

but I mean like, idk about the story or how well itd work overall

[near echo]

Gotcha

[main lion]

its a fun thing to exist that is very mid 2000s but I can see what you mean by it not translating

[near echo]

Homestucks genuinely doomed to obscurity cuz the web page can only exist so long

I totally get the desire to get it into another medium, especially from Hussie

The books kinda sucked

But I think that's the problem with tying it so hard to Flash lol

It got big cuz it was cutting edge and now it's the king of a dead medium

[main lion]

I do hope it succeeds cause I have friends that love homestuck

thats about it

[near echo]

I kinda hope it does too

Homestuck was formative for me and now it's something I'm deeply embarrassed by and disappointed by

If they can make this work and just put out like
A simpler, tighter version of this stupid thing

Might be into it

the hong kong dub is actually a diffrent english dub

that's even more clunky

im standing by my point that these series are anime but are sequels to cartoons

im actually really impressed some fans went and dubbed all this

either way though, there are going to be exceptions to all rules and in this case itd just go where it started

It just felt a needed plot induced blockage/restriction w/e

[shrewd sigil]

i do agree a bit on that part

well era 2 next or a different book now

[peak pilot]

Goro almost redeemed himself

[sage remnant]

I am going on a trip in a few days so can't start it now

Would have to read some stand alone

[shrewd sigil]

you've got only sixth of the dusk, Yumi, and elantris left from the standalone full novels right?

and isles of the emberdark

wait no not sixth of the dusk

Sunlit Man

[sage remnant]

Yea

Probably not gonna do cosmere

[naive socket]

Eh I haven’t seen daredevil since the lockdown, maybe I should rewatch it

[dim hedge]

Peacemaker is so good, Can't wait for next episode

[foggy mirage]

2 goats can coexist chill

[white smelt]

I’m hearing great things about PTA

[foggy mirage]

As usual

The marketing was dogshit

Saw this number in the wild

But its his best box office opening regardless

Just shit marketing

Could have landed 40-50 i feel

Sinners and weapons make up for this general audience L

[near echo]

I have literally no idea what that film was about from the trailers

[foggy mirage]

Badly advertised

Whoever they got is a bum

[worthy crypt]

i wonder how advertising works these days

i go out of my way to pay for ad-free on everything

so how would you ever sell me a movie

This is the first im hearing of One Battle Another so I guess its either really hard or impossible

[foggy mirage]

Last time I was this pissed

At an ad company was transformers one

They absolutely misconstrued the fuck out of that movie

To a severe detriment

Ended up crying in the theater watching it

[worthy crypt]

is the core idea just that you really like these movies and want them to do better and figure the failed advertising campaigns are partially to blame for them not doing as well as youd like?

i guess its like anything else, can be done well or poorly in terms of roi on advertising dollar spent

[foggy mirage]

I just think both had very poor advertising

To an extreme degree

That makes you think the quality is inconsistent or worse.

The new pta movie dint sell anything let alone a vibe

And tf1 just treated the movie like it was gonna be childish and have no depth

Usually trailers are ok or passable for me

But some can just be downright deceptive

[valid thunder]

WOM and social media

[worthy crypt]

yeah i guess word of mouth is the big one. im not really on social media except discord

ive picked up a few books from recs in here

[valid thunder]

also i use letterboxd which helps keep up with good movies

[worthy crypt]

i intended to get on letterboxd but never followed through

im on goodreads and like having that to look back at

[valid thunder]

letterboxd is really good as a tracker tbh. probably my fav one.

goodreads kinda sucks for knowing whats good nowadays. like whenever i look up any fantasy book, the recommendations are usually the same

[worthy crypt]

i dont really engage with any of the social stuff its mostly jsut for me to write short reviews of what i read and then later look back at my own reviews

[valid thunder]

yea ig it works for that, i have been recommended storygraph by friends. apparently its alot better than goodreads

but shifting to a whole new site is too much work 💔

[worthy crypt]

yeah i mean ultimately a text file or onenote or something would work jsut as well as what im using it for. But I can understand others want more out of this kind of platform

[valid thunder]

yea

[dull kindle]

i watched the homestuck pilot today

i have never read homestuck

[mild seal]

I'm sorry

[dull kindle]

it was certainly something i wasn't really sure what to expect

after hearing so much about it lol

i thought it was fun though i liked the animation

[white smelt]

You could tell it was a vivziepop product cause every other word was swearing

[main lion]

yeah its very forced lol

I cant stand that element of the video

[cunning tulip]

i dont know who needs to be told this

but Dexter is mid and he would be a unsub of the week in Criminal minds not even worth a 2 parter

[near echo]

Homestuck Pilot ||she'd make jokes about how cool he is, ironically since he's a cringey ass white nerd, but the wording in the pilots banter definitely makes it sound a hell of a lot more genuine and romantic than the comic did

Doesn't help they like, completely changed Dave's character for it||

[main lion]

I started watching Gen V s2 episode 2 and was blindsided by japanese voice acting thinking that was part of the joke

my City the Animation subtitle settings translated over

went like a full minute like "Im not getting the joke..."

[frank rivet]

i heard we getting a fist look at Xmen97 S2 Soon

Holy fucking shit

Never actually read it lol

At the time I was in my big DC comics phase I was super tired of that comic by association of everyone trying to BE Dark Knight Returns and threw it deep into the backlog

Oh damn I though you were talking about the movie

Have fun with that one

It's great
