[vital vigil]

it all makes sense now

but ye minecraft is another movie only aimed at kids

[cedar pier]

kids + entice their parents enough to maybe go watch it with them

the other 3 just didn't know their target audience

[vital vigil]

i mean kids of the age group they target would usually not go to the cinema on their own

[pliant forum]

Ah that's the hook.
Actors mom and dad recognize, so they pay for tickets for themselves as well and pray they don't fall asleep

[vital vigil]

i mean.. i like jack black generally but is he really a big pull

or jason even

cz thats the only 2 actors shown that anyone would recognize

i feel like theyre literally just putting him in every kids movie these days

he was in mario, borderlands and minecraft

[edgy stone]

Just like they put Timothée Chalamet and Pedro Pascal in any non-kids-targeted movie?

[vital vigil]

ye pedro is in every movie as well recently

[latent flame]

i dont think that new fanastic four movie going to be good but we shall see

[vital vigil]

ive not enjoyed a marvel movie since 2012. they did have one or the other good show tho

[latent flame]

have you seen moon knight?

[cedar pier]

I did and it was pretty bad

[latent flame]

let me know how the minecraft movie is since you got that day one ticket

[cedar pier]

what

just because I can say that something has a viable target audience does not mean I am part of it?

[pliant forum]

They call him, puuseppä, the winter devil

(That's a Fleimi reference)

[latent flame]

where can i watch this !!!?! 😂

[kindred adder]

I would unironically watch this

unironically better than what's releasing nowadays

[vital vigil]

linkin park are reforming back together but with another singer..

[halcyon nimbus]

Chester is hard to replace

But we can hope the new one can do him justice

[vital vigil]

imo you can never replace a singer in a successful band. dude could have a twin brother and id still think its a bad idea

[cedar pier]

Can happen

But typically results in a shift in direction

Electric callboy for example

[vital vigil]

listened to their new song. its actually pretty good

"the emptiness machine"

[cedar pier]

idk, not really my kinda music

[halcyon nimbus]

Heh, they now need both singers to do the whole range

Not bad tbh, very Linkin parky

[cedar pier]

to be fair I only liked their old stuff

and they already departed from that long ago

[halcyon nimbus]

True

[cedar pier]

also to be fair, you can see big shifts in live performances with the same artists

[vital vigil]

song does have some vibes from meteora-minutes to midnight imo

[cedar pier]

like you will see similar differences that you get with like rob halford vs tim ripper owens in live performances that you will get in different bowie ones

[cedar pier]

I would not consider minutes to midnight to be part of their "earlier" stuff

I am mainly talking about hybrid theory

meteora still had some elements of that still tho

[vital vigil]

i loved hybrid and meteora and thought minutes still good but not as good apart from like 2 bangers

[cedar pier]

I mean not every song has to appeal to me

that is kinda the point of artistic expression

[pliant phoenix]

imo they should have just retired linkin park after chester's passing but eh I guess I'll check out the new tunes

[cedar pier]

yea I would have prob at least done a rename with it but what do I know

[vital vigil]

gotta abuse the name recognition for money

[edgy stone]

YouTube really wants me to watch funny Australian man it seems

[pliant forum]

But is funi aussie man funi?

[edgy stone]

Yes, yes he is

A significant portion of that dude’s recent channel uploads appear to be clickbait about Cavill.

Cavill has made more than enough money to be able to walk away from projects he does not feel comfortable putting his name on.

“He wanted the media to be lore accurate and might be leaving over that.” is not the negative thing you seem to imply with this sentence.

[vital vigil]

ye imagine having standards for adaptations of game ips and not being cool with them doing BS with it

he left the witcher over it so why would it be different for 40k

I heard 16 ep in total to be released

Dunno about that tho

[wise quarry]

Maybe, regardless im watching it with a friend and he went absolutely insane just from watching the first episode

Fever dream anime

I watches the first few episodes with my friend group on a discord call, literally impossible to predict what happens next unless you watched the show already

[vital vigil]

what in the fuck is this

is this real?

[vital vigil]

man im having issues not giga ranting on this

the gall of remaking the US version 1 to 1, with the same characters but swapping actors, using the same jokes and the actors queues obviously being: "do it like the original actor" is insane to me

how is this greenlit

even down to jim spiking the camera https://i.imgur.com/lZaChPa.png

[halcyon nimbus]

Sounds like the it crowd us version.

[pliant forum]

So... like they did with the US version, which is based off of the UK version?

[vital vigil]

not really because those characters arent 1 to 1 copied

[sage thunder]

Which we can all agree is inferior

(UK)

[sage thunder]

They are

[pliant forum]

They literally started off using identical scripts. And then veered off (which was to their benefit) 😄

[sage thunder]

The entire pilot is a 1to1 copy

[edgy stone]

There's Polish version too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkuO61ta8Js

how many seasons did the uk one have

ive not watched it in full but ive seen some of it and while obviously michael is 1 to 1 to a certain extend i didnt feel like the whole cast and show were copied over

2 seasons

aight ill give you that. but ricky did also work on the US version and while the template was the same it did develop a lot further after

[maiden jacinth]

i mean makes sense to try and just pilot it in american

why come up with new stuff if you dont even know the concept works in the US

[pure canyon]

germany has its own creation called Stromberg.

[vital vigil]

ive never watched stromberg

due to stromberg we also never got fully dubbed the office US until only a couple years ago

[halcyon nimbus]

I've tried watching that.. My German isn't good enough

[pure canyon]

i found stromberg ... bad.

[pliant forum]

Why would you dub anything?

[vital vigil]

i know dutch people dont have that luxury and intern learn english way better cz of it

but in germany EVERYTHING is dubbed in german

[pure canyon]

look...
germans love dubbing everything.

[vital vigil]

dubbing culture in germany is insanely huge

[pliant forum]

Wrong kind of German. I'm sand german, not swamp german.

[pure canyon]

nice side effect is, that if i watch the original versions in cinema, it's fairly empty usually. lol

[vital vigil]

nothing is in english

[pliant forum]

And we don't dub anything with real people. We learn English 😛

[maiden jacinth]

its meh

some jokes work but most dont

[edgy stone]

We have voiceovers
Dubs aren't really popular outside kids movies and shows

[pliant forum]

German humor. It's no laughing matter.

[halcyon nimbus]

Voice over is even worse

[pliant forum]

[vital vigil]

the main actor for germans the office is really fitting. he does that kinda cringe humor well but the show never seemed that good. im pretty sure it was popular back inthe day tho

[pliant forum]

Worst I've ever heard is English backing, followed by a german voice over (semi interested in acting) followed by super monotone polish voice over.

Polish TV at hotels - Never again 😄

[edgy stone]

If you live with it your whole life you really get used to it
Still, I prefer original audio whenever possible

[pliant forum]

Genuinely how anyone can handle having THREE voices thrown at you on a delay from each other is beyond me.

Poles are built different.

Also, when I was a kid, we had Dragon Ball only in German

[vital vigil]

[maiden jacinth]

you out of every anime

[vital vigil]

remember when that lil pig wished for panties from shenlong? in the german version he wishes for a hat with 2 holes for his ears

[edgy stone]

I also remember we had some TV shows in Russian, Oggy and the Cockroaches for example

[pure canyon]

huh?

there was a language in that?

haha

[vital vigil]

wasnt there a narrator? i dont remember well

the characters never talked

[pure canyon]

i dont remember any talking in there

[vital vigil]

iirc the narrator spoke in rhymes

[edgy stone]

There were sometimes, like in Tom and Jerry

[vital vigil]

im misremembering i guess. im skipping through oggy eps and no talking at all

[pure canyon]

i dont remember that... curious

man that sucks. i was looking forward to it but everyones hating on it. im just not sure if its because its a musical or if its just bad lol

[unique rune]

Perhaps the movie itself is meta commentary on audiences being unable to accept a film as standalone that does not truly need a sequel or follow up and due to the money they made on Joker 1 they got some doofus C level to sign off on a shitpost.

[rancid coral]

https://youtu.be/UJpaVOjF94A

[vital vigil]

was noone actually asking for a 2nd movie tho.. this was just another greedy cashgrab after the first "low budget" movie made a billion dollars out of seemingly nowhere

[cedar pier]

whoops

[jagged tiger]

My friend swears it’s good

[umbral kraken]

even if it was bad but not a musical i might have gone to see it because there hasn't been much else to watch recently

i feel the loves dark supervillain movie + loves musical crowd isn't the best niche to cator to though

[wise quarry]

Im just happy to watch vox machina with my friends

[latent flame]

yeah no one asked for a musical either just a weird combo to do for joker movie

[meager kelp]

one third found it good, tastes differ, nothing wrong with having a different taste.

May watch it myself, who knows.

[cedar pier]

you can enjoy something objectively bad

you can subjectively perceive something as being good even though it isn't

nobody tells you not to like something

[stark heart]

Imo rotten tomatoes is a bad site to check for movie ratings, your only rating options are just good and bad

Cant vote for mid or exceptionally good or exceptionally bad

[cedar pier]

it sits at 2.5/5 at letterboxd and 5.3/10 on imdb

[stark heart]

Yep i just went to check

[cedar pier]

imdb is not super trustworthy imo but

[stark heart]

no review site is super trustworthy but I've noticed imdb is usually in the right direction

One trend is that horror movies get voted lower than deserved and series get voted higher than deserved

Like an exceptionally good horror movie could be 7,5 in imdb and a mid series can be 8

[cedar pier]

imdb had cases of amazon twiddling with reviews

[stark heart]

Yeah they tried it with rings of power but the outcome was even worse review bombing

[vital vigil]

steam also only has good/bad and id say it works really well

but i agree that rotten tomatoes is a bad website for movie ratings

[cedar pier]

I'd agree that a more granular rating system would help

otherwise you have to go into one of the two extremes even tough your opinion might be a bit more varied

at least give it a /5 option

[vital vigil]

idk either you recommend it or you dont. as a single rating thats stupid. but when thousands of people give a rating like that. it approximates any kind of 1-10 rating

[stark heart]

Yeah and im not a fan of that either, very often i have to drop a negative review for a game that's decent but has a few annoying things ruining the experience

[vital vigil]

ok and what would that rating be on a 1-10. 6?

[cedar pier]

actually /4 or /6 would prob be better but

even numbers are better since you have to have a positive or negative bias

[stark heart]

Depends on the severity of the issues and the overall quality of the game

But having to choose between good and bad feels really limiting

But I agree with pronin even 1-5 scale would be fine

[vital vigil]

ye but doesnt matter which granular score you give. for one aint nobody reading many reviews to get a picture. they look at the number. and also the number the game has directly emulates "good/bad" for most people

im not watching anything below 7 unless its comedy then ill watch 6 as well

[cedar pier]

I think you actually would get quite a different result than just a yes/no one

on average

[cedar pier]

that is just an issue with how people treat rating systems

[vital vigil]

you could directly check that by comparing metacritic to steam or rotten to imdb if you wanted

[cedar pier]

something that is a 5 or a low 6 is essentially unwatchable, anything below a 5 is unredeemable garbage usually

because people (in the west) are kinda when it comes to ratings

[vital vigil]

hows that a west issue. and whats wrong about that

[cedar pier]

cultural issue, and it means that half your rating scale is useless

review culture in japan is quite different for example

[stark heart]

Our school grading system is 4-10 so I have that 4=failure stuck in the back of my head

[cedar pier]

a 5/5 is basically unheard of over there

[cedar pier]

german school rating system works entirely different and yet the issue persists

[cedar pier]

• they actually make use of a 2 and 3 rating

[stark heart]

But yea usually mid is like 7, bad is 5 and perfection is 9

[vital vigil]

you give each number a value
10 insane
9 REALLY good
8 very good
7 good
6 its ok
.... etc. aint noone wanting to watch almost anything below "good"

[stark heart]

And often when people are not sure they just pick 7

[vital vigil]

well everyone rates differently. my 7 is not necessarily your 7

i rate everything according to how likely i am to recommend it to others based on how much i enjoyed it ofc

[cedar pier]

imdb is especially bad btw

it peaks REALLY hard with it's ratings around 7

and then 1-4 basically go unused

[vital vigil]

well 7 is the, "it was good" rating. not great but also not regretting to have wasted time

[stark heart]

review bombing is more common in metacritic tbf because people tend to like counter review journalists who give absolutely retarded reviews

[cedar pier]

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/whose-reviews-should-you-trust-imdb-rotten-tomatoes-metacritic-or-fandango-7d1010c6cf19/

[stark heart]

Or they have a personal issue with the game and just drop a 1

[cedar pier]

imdb just has ratings that are very favored towards the upper end

metacritic are more bell shaped

tomatometer also more bell shaped but that one is a bit more complicated

since it gets it's own unique way of reviewbombing

[stark heart]

Yeah and when you take that into account it just becomes a 5-10 rating system where 5 is total garbage and 10 is perfection

[cedar pier]

basically

[stark heart]

Though there are a few movies that went below 5 like dragonball evolution

It's like 3/10

[cedar pier]

yea but it doesn't matter where they land between 1 and 5

it's entirely rng/dependant on the amount of troll ratings

[stark heart]

Yeah when it's bad it's bad the score doesn't make a difference anymore

[vital vigil]

why would it if everythings trash at that rating if its 5 or 4. on the very few cases i do give such ratings ill still choose the one i think is appropriate tho

[cedar pier]

reminds me, dragonslayer doppelganger was the #1 movie on imdb until it was manually excluded

[stark heart]

But there definitely are differences in quality when comparing 7 rated movies to 8

[cedar pier]

the issue is that the broader spectrum could actually be used

you only say "why would I watch a 4 when those are bad" but that only applies to the state they are in atm

when you stretch the spectrum from 5-10 to actually having 1-10 then a movie that was previously a 6 might end up being a 4

[stark heart]

indie movies are often top rated because there's random crew giving their own movies a 10 and with like 14 votes

[cedar pier]

was a short movie made byt a twitch streamer and people reviewbombed it positively to troll

it has 1.4k votes

[stark heart]

oh that's something already

But no wonder it's excluded if it's an obvious troll

[vital vigil]

ok. but anything that isnt just good/bad, people are not gonna see it like this

if smth has half the max score, its just bad

[stark heart]

That's why i avoid movies that are below 6, they've all been bad

[cedar pier]

and that is the issue

that is why movies land at a 7

even though they are mid

[stark heart]

how's that an issue though

[cedar pier]

the issue is the mindset around it

[stark heart]

7 sounds mid for everyone

[cedar pier]

not to me

[stark heart]

Therefore a 7/10 movie is mid

[cedar pier]

a 5 or a 6 would be mid

but instead a 5 is already godawful

[stark heart]

8 is good, 9 exceptionally good while 6 is bad and 5 is exceptionally bad

If there was a 1-5 system then 4 would become mid because 3 feels low

[stark heart]

But if everyone knows this then its not an issue

Even tho it's not logical

[cedar pier]

does not make it less stupid

also a very western issue

[stark heart]

It is stupid but that's how it is and it works

[vital vigil]

i think 7 is good

i recommend 7 movies to people. not anything below tho

[cedar pier]

[stark heart]

i recommend lower if i personally find them good

[vital vigil]

if you personally find em good why did you rate it below

[cedar pier]

the suicide squad is a 7.2

the snyder cut is a 7.9

[stark heart]

Like this movie called Malignant, imo it was entertaining and interesting but it's like 6 on imdb

I gave it an 8

[vital vigil]

well i do mean my rating

for recommendations

[stark heart]

ah right

[vital vigil]

if smth was a 5 on imdb but i deem it a 7, ill recommend it

at the end of the day its a system based on subjective opinions. evryone rates differently. even the same guy would rate stuff differently depending on where they are in life and what they currently enjoy

also based off what theyve already seen since you always kinda compare against what you know

[meager kelp]

Feel the way rotten tomatoes handles it is alright, high degree of subjectivity, and it does not hurt to read / watch an individual reviewers opinion.

User ratings especially stupid lime a shop / seller review, it generally either goes fine, bad or some rare exceptional good, no way to give a nuanced score in most cases.

[sage thunder]

I always found the first movie annoying

The logic at the beginning is baffling, they casually experiment with a moving egg while keeping the door open.

[odd sparrow]

https://youtu.be/VJ6So9rQ8mA WHY is this getting a live action adaption lmao

The anime was just okay.

[cedar pier]

manga performs well

in japan the anime is basically just fanservice for the manga

[vital vigil]

cz theyre making animes of every life action content and life action of any anime these days

[cedar pier]

also not a new thing

not quite sure why that started to be a thing but I think it is because thermae romae performed stupidly well like 12 years ago

[vital vigil]

well they always did this but i meant the frequency has shot up like crazy

[cedar pier]

makes money, market is growing in general

and sometimes that stuff picks up hard

[vital vigil]

making different kinds of media from every fucking ip, with netflix and others butchering half of it in the process

[cedar pier]

also not a trend they started

[vital vigil]

making shitty new versions?

[cedar pier]

edge of tomorrow was the first of that kinda afaik

[vital vigil]

generally no and im not aware of how it was 15+ years ago but in recent memory most failed expansions into other media were cz of their bs messaging or tryna change the IP so much it doesnt appeal to its fans anymore

lara croft, cowboy bebop, star wars acolyte and mainline movies. the list goes on and on

[halcyon nimbus]

eh, cowboy bebop was enjoyable

[vital vigil]

i meant the new netflix anime that completely failed

(lara croft)

[halcyon nimbus]

havent seen it yet

[vital vigil]

therell be people liking anything. but it got cancelled already with how bad it was received

[edgy stone]

So both movies and shows are shit

[vital vigil]

well theyre able to destroy any franchise regardless of medium

[odd sparrow]

I saw a thing that confirms she cries at least once every episode. Kind of wild.

#NotMyLaura

[vital vigil]

constantly crying, somehow not really that strong of a woman anymore and for some reason a focus on her relationship with her ex gf

[edgy stone]

For current media corporations strong woman = woman mixed with traits of "toxic masculinity"
In short - an insufferable asshole crybabies

[vital vigil]

ye strong women recently often are just worst parts of men and then they also dont have a real goal or dont want to do what theyre supposed to do in the story

like korra from avatar and rey from sw. theyre the same character. insufferable mary sues, that didnt even want to do "the job"

[edgy stone]

Funny you say that, very funny - you know why?
Because take Katara from Avatar and Leia from SW

[cedar pier]

ngl it is kinda funny how they specifically write their characters in ways to make them insufferable

[vital vigil]

katara learned waterbending from 0 and she was always down to follow the higher call and support the avatar

[rich cipher]

Katara learning blood bending was peak Avatar

[maiden jacinth]

she does it twice

lol

idk if id call it peak tbh

[edgy stone]

Point being even in the same franchises they used to write characters which are... good... feel human...

[vital vigil]

ye. i dont remember if it was the same main 2 writers on both shows

i think they werent but i dont recall

[vital vigil]

ah ok. i thought you were saying that katara and leia were the same as i described

avatar had tons of strong female characters for sure

[halcyon nimbus]

@sage thunder and talk

[vital vigil]

crunchyroll and funimation suck

[unique rune]

If it’s been going on for years, it’s not exactly new.

[sage thunder]

Why

I liked it

[latent flame]

where to even start. Plot was bad, the writing was bad. They wasted all the characters

im not going to type names since its spoilers

movie plot was rushed as well

the other venom movies werent amazing but they werent as bad as this one

[sage thunder]

I thought it was pretty good considering they had to close off the venom series.

[latent flame]

thats another issue in itself

because is venom not gonna appear in tom holland spiderman

so many plot holes in the mcu and disney and sony are just putting out garbage

but i mean at the end of the day Hollywood are putting out garbage movies too nowadays but thats a whole different convo

[sage thunder]

I mean its more a Sony issue in this regard

but yes the mcu is pretty damn weak

[latent flame]

yeah i mean if you enjoyed the movie you enjoyed it. Im not going to hate on you for liking it

i just wish they did a better job with story writing and with the plot

[latent flame]

i know but the third one was just so bad

[vital vigil]

ive never seen a venom movie

only the toby spiderman movie

https://tenor.com/view/je-gif-20416097

[sage thunder]

I preferred it over the second tbh

[errant flower]

I will probs give it a watch and not expect anything crazy and have a good time

[sage thunder]

That's a good thing aye

[errant flower]

I havent seen it but I know the memes ;p same with madam web.

Ive seen the venom movies so might as well watch the third one

[rain cliff]

what's unwatchable bad

[latent flame]

she-hulk

[rain cliff]

what's unwatchable good

[errant flower]

there's a thing about watching movies knowing that they will be bad

just be there for the ride

like that winnie the pooh horror movie

[sage thunder]

Wasn't as bad as people said

Wasn't great though

[vital vigil]

if youre expecting a good borderlands movie and roland is played by kevin hart

you know its gonna be bad

[halcyon nimbus]

It's not like borderlands was great

[vital vigil]

ok youre wrong but how does that matter

this was the borderlands movie

[cedar pier]

omega copium

the borderlands franchise already only had a slim chance at a good movie

and then randy pitchford played a major role in creating it

[cedar pier]

german dbz dub is glorious

[vital vigil]

LOL

is this real lol?

[rain cliff]

what is that preview

[cedar pier]

Yes

[latent flame]

borderland games were awesome and then they go make that shit movie

[latent flame]

its an easter egg to sparking zero since that game is a back shot simulator

[latent flame]

such a promising game that died so quickly

[near prism]

Im almost done with Dragon ball classic

Gonna start DBZ kai once Im done

[odd sparrow]

No, watch OG Dragonball Z. Kai butchers the shit out of it. Just use a filler guide to skip the filler.

Kai removes all blood, gore and swearing

Kai also doesn't really cover the entire series properly, they kinda gave up with the Buu saga

[odd sparrow]

Yeah, there's a website that tells you which episodes are canon and which aren't

But Kai's issue is the opposite of the OG, things happen TOO fast

Like it's a little crazy

[cedar pier]

even the non filler episodes often have a ton of filler in them

[vital vigil]

ye but that doesnt tell you in which episodes 80% of the time theyre powering up to stretch the fuck out of it

ive not seen kai but i would never watch the normal dbz again. unless im ready to have my finger on the arrowkey to skip through almost full episodes

which is how i watch(ed) one piece lol

[odd sparrow]

Kai is awful, I gave it a shot.

[near prism]

You sure it’s not just nostalgia glasses?

Cause ive been doing research and kai sounds right for me since Im gonna watch it in dub

Heard the og dbz dub has weirdly altered dialogue

Lemme know the deets asap cause Im gonna finish DB classic today

2 episodes left

[near prism]

160 ep does not sound too fast lmao

And Im 780 ep into one piece

[odd sparrow]

It's not the amount of episodes, it's the way episodes are structured with the changes. Remember there isn't new footage.

It's just old episodes edited down to be shorter

Some become really weird because of that

[near prism]

Yeah I’m aware it’s just DBZ in a slightly higher resolution

With pacing made faster

And 0 filler

[odd sparrow]

Not even that, I'd recommend the Dragonbox version

[near prism]

Whats that

Tbh I started dragon ball because I wanted to buy sparking zero lmfao

Im loving the series tho I just need some guidance

Def skipping GT, I just wanna see everything thats canon

[latent flame]

a man of culture i see

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitten-handshake-deal-agree-gif-7134721403924803840

[latent flame]

no the intro for kai is garbage compared to the og intros in dbz

you can look up the openings unless you dont watch openings to shows

[near prism]

I still dont understand whats wrong with dbz kai other than the pacing is way faster than og dbz

[latent flame]

everyone here gave you multiple reasons why kai sucks but if you wanna watch it then watch it

theres nothing more to it

[near prism]

I went back up to see the reasons from the other guys, I’m just gonna watch dbz then and push through the 300 ep

The website Im using already marks filler episodes

[latent flame]

the music is also better in og dbz but just have patience with it but you already watched dragonball so just enjoy dbz

[near prism]

Yeah alright, I was just hoping I wouldn’t have to go basically half of one piece worth of episodes to watch the entirety of canonical dragon ball

Its fine though, like I said I already enjoyed the entirety of DB classic. DBZ should be a fun watch aswell

[near prism]

One last thing, is dragon ball super heros canon? Either way is it a worth while watch?

[latent flame]

no it promotes a dbz game

its like what if stuff

but i watch it then and there

watch dbz super after dbz

you can watch GT after you watch super and the super movies if you want, a lot of people hate on it but i didnt mind it

[near prism]

Yo @latent flame does the diologue get better in DBZ? Watched the first few episodes and the diologue in dub is low key really corny compared to the original dragon ball series funimation dub (im over exaggerating but its still kinda corny lol) might take me some time to adjust to this goku because some of the things he says just doesn’t necessarily feel like things goku would say if that makes sense?? Might just be how adult goku is orMight just be the actors or whatver (or maybe it’s too early to ask these kinda of questions/make a judgment just yet). Im still gonna push through DBZ . Sorry for yapping up a storm.

edit: forget to mention it but I’m 5 ep into the series as of writing this to give some insight

[near prism]

I cant get over the art style, a lot of the backgrounds are wallpaper worthy

[latent flame]

dbz came out in 1989

so its gonna be corny then and there but i wanna say namek arc it gets more serious from there

[near prism]

Og Dragon Ball wasnt as corny but alri

Thanks for the info

Theres like 700 ep in total including all the series

[latent flame]

what? all dragon ball is corny

[near prism]

Dragon Ball classic didnt feel that way for me

Might just be the fact Goku is a child in that series

[latent flame]

i already told you if you have your heart set on dbz kai then to watch kai. Theres no point forcing yourself to watch og dbz if youre gonna hate on it

but to compare the two series og dbz is like steak and dbz kai is tofu

[near prism]

Im not hating on it I just think Goku seems a bit off

I think its just me though

The last episode of Dragon Ball classic was really serious

So the transition isnt as smooth

[latent flame]

hes not like that the whole series. At the point youre watching hes a young father whos still goofy af

he disappeared with chichi and made him soft

came back with a kid

[near prism]

You’re right that does make logical sense

[latent flame]

im telling you namek arc

stuff starts changing

iconic arc too

[near prism]

ok but fr I need to get this off my chest (spoilers for dragon ball classic finale) ||That fight with piccolo in the last episode was fucking crazy I didnt expect goku to get injured that badly then to just give piccolo a senzu bean and let him get away because he wanted him to get stronger||

[latent flame]

if you think thats intense you have no idea for whats coming up

[near prism]

I cant get over this frame 😭😭
😭

Its so fuckin funny to me

Piccolo looks like he’s getting the best sleep of his life

Nothing like a dirt blanket after getting your ass kicked by goku

[latent flame]

once you catch up on all the dbz/dbz super lore you should watch dragonball abridged by team four star

just pure memes

[near prism]

I think I heard of it, is it that one non serious dub?

Thats really goofy?

[latent flame]

yeah

fucking hilarious

[near prism]

I gotta check it out for sure once Im caught up

Sounds like a fun watch

I'M MORBIN OUT

[odd sparrow]

Lol what the hell

[maiden jacinth]

i know like 2 of those...

and 1 mainly from the memes

[odd sparrow]

A movie that should absolutely have Spider Man, may not have Spider Man

Typical

[cedar pier]

vulture was in the first of the current spider man movies

madame web had a weird spinoff movie where they cut out spiderman post-shoot

venom should be clear?

[maiden jacinth]

i know venom and morbius

[cedar pier]

idk who kraven is prob some series character idk

[maiden jacinth]

thats it

[cedar pier]

ah

[sick gazelle]

wait where's the ock?

[cedar pier]

kraven is a movie character of an upcoming movie

[cedar pier]

wrong universe

but idk, post endgame was mostly miserable imo

deadpool 3 was the only decent one imo

but very different movie

[maiden jacinth]

yeah but deadpool is carried by ryan himself it seems

hes just really passionate about the deadpool character in general

[cedar pier]

it doesn't take itself too serious

[sick gazelle]

yea

[cedar pier]

and the jokes it makes actually work

the last thor movie was prob a similar amount of jokes per minute

but those just were the safest shit

[maiden jacinth]

img lad it was a deadpool fan bringing deadpool to the theater and not some random producer

[cedar pier]

yea otherwise we would not have gotten 3 of them

[maiden jacinth]

and 1 would have prob sucked

[cedar pier]

• he also got a lot of freedom since what he made actually worked out lol

[maiden jacinth]

yes its almost like a fan knows what a good movie should look like

[marble mirage]

I wish it was the same for the witcher series

henry was perfect for the role and was super passionate about it

[odd sparrow]

He's a major nerd, yeah

[sage thunder]

Oh God

[sage thunder]

Holy crap the set design and effects are insane.

Feels like it would have been better as a film

[wicked aspen]

Hard part is no one really wants to go out of their way to see Star Wars films anymore

I have no doubt as a film it would break even, however it’s offers more convenience as a show to the average consumer.

More viewers

[sage thunder]

It can be a Disney Plus film though

[wicked aspen]

That’s true

I just remember the mandalorian model making a lot of money so I think they might stick with that

[latent flame]

thats so true, starwars been going downhill

they had some gems like andor and etc

[round sparrow]

Anything good to watch

Im

Excited

For

Squid

Game

2

[fringe willow]

XD

[sage thunder]

I swear to God, spamming and this is where it's got you, a timeout. 👏

[sage thunder]

https://youtu.be/lQBmZBJCYcY

[rancid coral]

still no squids in the teaser

absolutely false advertising

[old patio]

They ate the squids

[errant flower]

so many shows coming soon with a new season. Squid Game, Arcade, Alice in Borderland

[odd sparrow]

Alioce in Borderland?

[errant flower]

yep show based of a manga. Its on netflix

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10795658/

[odd sparrow]

IO know but it finished pretty much

Must be a side story

[errant flower]

i havent looked too much into it. I just wanna be surprised

[vital vigil]

i thought arcade and alice in borderland were meme titles for arcane and alice in wonderland..

[latent flame]

hopefully its fire like the first season was

[errant flower]

i meant arcane yes, it was monday hahah

[vital vigil]

personally i dont really see a point in a second season and didnt like they already teased that it wasnt gonna be over end of s1. feel like s2 wont be as good or popular

[slate verge]

arcane mhmm

that supposed to be on the 8th

[vital vigil]

arcane i am very excited for

[halcyon nimbus]

that bottom part is disappointing

[odd sparrow]

Anything over 5% is

[latent flame]

porbably wont be but we shall see

[rancid coral]

damn Camilla had a stalker that went to her house with a sledge

what the fuck is wrong with people

she was given a gift with a tracker on it at a convention

https://youtu.be/-YvTQAYZJN8

[odd sparrow]

That's creative

But yeah, pretty fucked up

[rancid coral]

new level of parasocialism achieved

[odd sparrow]

I mean, these vtubers foster this kind of thing as it makes them money, they're playing a dangerous game

Vtubers more so than fleshtubers market themselves to the really desperate and weird

[edgy stone]

I mean... there's a reason why some vtuber networks don't want their talent to be associated with person
You won't see vtuber meetings on Hololive conventions for example, they are streaming from other location, and if they are on location they're completely incognito

[odd sparrow]

https://youtu.be/ENoixNlT394

[errant flower]

huh?

[slate verge]

oml

I didn't read that earlier

[sage thunder]

I'm surprised how well vtubers keep their identity secret tbh

[rancid coral]

some agencies have people that specialise in digital secrecy

for the Indies like camilla they have no such luck unfortunately

I'm really glad that Camilla wasn't hurt or anything from the encounter, she's really sweet

[sage thunder]

I'm surprised filian hasn't

[odd sparrow]

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzd62g1r3o

[vital vigil]

nice. should prolly be till 18 tbh

tho smth like this is the start of having to link your ID to social media accounts..

[slate verge]

honestly not against that

[errant flower]

kinda agree

[slate verge]

the real issue is people will always find away around it

[errant flower]

also it should be a two way thing, a llot of apps already provide some sort of parent/kids function etc. and its also the job of the parent to inforce something if they are against it.

[slate verge]

The better solution is for social media platforms to protect minors to a greater degree by flagging content and flagging messages to a higher degree

but they prioritize algo for profit

[errant flower]

whats next? banning the internet to kids cause of the harmful sites that are there? Its not the solution

Teach your kids about how things work, what to do and what not to do

just banning/scaring them is not gonna help in the future

[slate verge]

Well yeah

[maiden jacinth]

media competence should become a school subject

thats the solution

[slate verge]

it doesn't help that there's a generational cut off

like my parents don't know anything

about games or apps

it probably is easier for a newer parent to understand

[errant flower]

today's parents grew up with the internet in away, so they should deff know

to some extend

[maiden jacinth]

i wouldnt

i dont understand genz stuff

[errant flower]

not gen z stuff, but the do's and don't of the internet

[slate verge]

I mean it's not always enough either

could download a virus

get accounts stolen

blackmailing children all happened in Turkey

data breaches

[twilit phoenix]

Should, is the right word, but a lot dont

[maiden jacinth]

so media competence in schools

ok

got it

[vital vigil]

since that changes all the time, its not like that really works. in the past decade all of a sudden there were established a ton of "donts"

[twilit phoenix]

Also way more people than you think only know basic stuff or just dont have a pc/laptop

[errant flower]

But yeah I feel its a an easy way to push and blame the platforms for everything, when I feel like its also often the persons/parents responsibility.

[slate verge]

At the end of the day regardless of parents being media competent there's no way they have never heard risks involved and shouldn't be looking into proactively protecting their children

[slate verge]

Some of it is the platforms though

like if you go look into the history of Roblox

[vital vigil]

social media has been mostly a cancer upon society and its especially bad for easily impressionable kids

[slate verge]

or Kik

[errant flower]

I dont count those as social media tho thats a whole different story

but yeah, things are bad/could be better, just straight up banning stuff is not gonna help

[slate verge]

I wouldn't even allow my kid to have access to social media before the age of like 12

not because of like worrying about predators or something

[vital vigil]

well 13 is already the legal age for all social media

[slate verge]

the shit they show on Instagram and YouTube

is so bad

[vital vigil]

its just brainrot

[slate verge]

Yeah even ignoring that

Instagram put like nsfw content on tons of people's pages one day on accident

I know I'm the us there's moves to teaching media literacy in the classrooms

but id also be worried of teachers having a bias towards certain political opinions

instead of truly teaching a child how to do their own due diligence

when I grew up the classrooms always had some biased political shit on

like CNN

[odd sparrow]

Yeah my 8 year old nephew is ruined, it's YouTube and TikkTok and his brain is gone. There's a void.

He isn't capable of thinking or saying original thoughts.

Terrible to see.

[halcyon nimbus]

is there a less biassed tv news channel?

[vital vigil]

i dont see how you need to learn social media interaction literacy or w/e.. you learn how to deal with people IRL which translates to online. meanwhile genz and gen a more an more have issues irl communicating and dealing with other people because theyre increasingly stop interacting with people irl

[slate verge]

Not to my knowledge lots are owned by billionaires and have some form of bias

[vital vigil]

theres no unbiased tv news lol

[halcyon nimbus]

less

[slate verge]

the least bias option is doing your own research

😮‍💨

[halcyon nimbus]

thats how you get chemtrail flatworlders :p

[vital vigil]

depends on the country. if you look who owns the news channels in the US youll find the millions of channels (including locals) all belong to the same parent companies a couple steps removed

[halcyon nimbus]

5g covid deniers

[slate verge]

hey I'm not that insane

[halcyon nimbus]

"do you own research" isnt feasible for most ppl.
critical thinking should be though

[vital vigil]

"do you own research" has become a meme

all you can do is try to factcheck or at least question everything you see

[slate verge]

Yeah just not taking things at face value

all the time

[halcyon nimbus]

and not accepting the distraction wild statements thrown out there.. like a lot of populist politicians do

[vital vigil]

also "do your own research" is a cop out of usually inarticulate people who cant show proof or tell where they got their info from
