[pure canyon]

i actually forgot i havent made the cheesecake yet

[flat mural]

I guess but they grew up with a phone in their hand, a lot of these things have so much information easily available to do it yourself.

[vital vigil]

ye and how many actually do tho

[flat mural]

Probably not most, which is sad.

[pure canyon]

i spilled my hot choclate

[rich cipher]

[flat mural]

Rough

I used to spill on my keyboard ALL THE TIME because I used to put my mug or glass in front of me, by the keyboard.

Since I moved my drink to the left of me where there are no hands moving I haven't spilled since!

[rich cipher]

I spilled my morning coffee in my keyboard a few weeks ago, while I was in a meeting with webcams on -_-

Keyboard survived, ego did not

[grizzled drift]

and this is exactly how you end up paying 3-5 times the amounts for a job, people without the required knowledge/skills doing renovations/plumbing then some pipe silently leaks, destroys a lot of stuff and an actual professional has to repair the damages and install everything anew

same for the people that hire polish construction crews instead of paying a german master company to do anything, they initially save like 70% but ultimately have to pay far more due to everything falling apart and requiring extensive fixing

[flat mural]

My mom hired the "more expensive trusted local company" and got fucked hard, paid to have roof replaced and had to pay twice for someone else to fix it because it kept leaking.

[grizzled drift]

like there's a reason that if you got any apprenticeship in a german company you'll find top paid work worldwide, since there's next to no other country with the same standards about teaching a craft

[pure canyon]

I spilled on my deskmat

Evertime i wash it, a day later i spill

I need to clean up my desk some day

[grizzled drift]

not saying there aren't any black sheep among german craftsmen, but going the cheap route is definitely more prone to disaster than anything else

[pure canyon]

But when

Adhd sucks people

[vital vigil]

time to not have your cup of open beverages right infront of you beneath your keyboard

[flat mural]

For sure, I mean there are things I don't feel comfortable doing but if I know I can do something and I'll get the same or better result than paying someone I'll just do it myself.

[grizzled drift]

or not opening any bottle while being on a voice call with a friend that makes you laugh so hard you drop the bottle^^

[grizzled drift]

well sure, but no matter how comfortable you are with doing something, if you got no actual experience in the field and know the ins and outs of it it's always a gamble, best example electrics and plumbing, i can't even count anymore how often i had to redo both (back when i was still able to work that is) when initially only being there to install a kitchen, just because the customers went ahead and did the electrics and plumbing themselves or let some cheap polish crew do it.

[flat mural]

Electrics by law you're not allowed to work on here, there are some things you're allowed to do but at the end you need to hire a certified electrician to come check your work and sign of on it first before you're allowed to turn the power on.

[grizzled drift]

sometimes the mistakes were quite obvious, other times they were sneaky lil things that could have fatal consequences, best example being the power outlet for the stove being made in a way that the grounding was actually delivering 400V, didn't notice it during installation but heard a weird crackling after switching the fuze back online, if i wouldn't have listened to my guts whoever would've touched that stove would've been dead for sure

[flat mural]

Would I do a plumbing overhaul myself? No, will I fix a leaking sink or easier jobs myself? Yes.

[grizzled drift]

not like a lot of people cared

and yea, the rate was roughly every 2nd kitchen i installed had some faults in either the electrics, the plumbing or both

and in most cases the customers actually admitted that they did stuffs themselves, maybe with some dad of theirs that "has experience doing it"

so yea, in a sense overconfidence without actual knowledge is by far the biggest health risk

[flat mural]

I studied to become and electrician, hated it and swapped to carpentry, hated that and ended up finishing with a degree in IT instead focusing on admin and server maintenance stuff.

[pure canyon]

i try but it keeps appearing there

[grizzled drift]

i know the feeling, in my case there keep spawning some monster energies or mixed pickle jars in front of me while gaming and minding other business

[pure canyon]

oof i had to really get off of monster. they werent good for me

[vital vigil]

i also stopped. mainly cz of the caffeine tho

was hard to even stay awake at work for the first 2 weeks, but once your addiction to it stops theres no need for it to "wake up" or stay awake

[fossil burrow]

Malcolm in the middle reboot was good but not great. Definitely feels like a pilot them a mini series

Invincible writers are || such trolls making us think conquest survived again for a second lol ||

But I will say I find it || bullshit how mark survived ||

[fallow wraith]

||why we know his injuries were bad, but not lethal||

[sage thunder]

|| bruh most of his organs left his body, he should be dying from infection alone lmao ||

[fallow wraith]

||only one sickness has ever effected viltrumites||

[sage thunder]

|| for one he's half blood, but still his whole damn guts man ||

[fallow wraith]

||marks injury was less than why he did to conquest on earth||

[rich cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-frodo-alright-then-keep-your-secrets-smiling-gif-26462584

[sage thunder]

|| he still had his bloody organs ||

[sage thunder]

|| yes ||

[fallow wraith]

||by marks age there is no half blood left. the viltrumite dna will overwrite the other dna as they age, make is almost completly pure viltrumite||

[sage thunder]

Idc it's still stupid

[fallow wraith]

||they put marks back in, and the brain is a organ, conquests skull was flat||

||the entire reason for nolans mission was to make hybrids as they will slowly turn into pure viltrumites||

[sage thunder]

Ye i forgot that part

|| Even so.... Conq skull etc was cracked but no brain exposed, even so i get your point ||

[pliant forum]

Did I miss the live viewing of the Epstein movie?

[fallow wraith]

||in the show they dont show, but in the comic his head is flattened in the middle||

[pure hull]

Ah another one
https://youtu.be/iYOjHbpvHbw

[sage thunder]

So much for "gold"

[fallow wraith]

what was it? you get get pretty good gold

but if you what shiny you gotta paint

[sage thunder]

Not necessarily

[fossil burrow]

the saturation on the first pic looks a lil boosted

[sage thunder]

Very good point

Crazy if true (they forgot about legend of Korra regarding toph though)

[pliant forum]

Legend..Korra...nope. Never heard of it.

[flat mural]

It's good though, not as good as the original but still good.

[vital vigil]

did they make toph a lesbian in korra?

[sage thunder]

No which is the point

She had two daughters

[vital vigil]

i dont get it

[flat mural]

Lei or whatever her name is the daughter of Toph

[vital vigil]

so this guy is just an idiot, confirmed?

[flat mural]

Lin

[vital vigil]

lol

[sage thunder]

Yes but it's the fact he claims to have the whole film

Is why I posted it

[vital vigil]

even if it were to be true. why would anyone want to actually see anything from it and get spoiled

[sage thunder]

But I had to clarify his straight comment was stupid

[sage thunder]

The point is he's threatening to leak the entire movie

And someone at nick sent it by accident

[vital vigil]

i hope he does it and they find him

[sage thunder]

Your overthinking this 😅

The point is it's kinda crazy if true what he claims

Also for some reason I thought it was a new show not movie

[vital vigil]

did toph always call him just "avatar"?

scene looks pretty real. as in not ai

but it also looks like smth i dont wanna watch

[sage thunder]

She did not which is weird

[vital vigil]

well the context might be about him being the avatar straight before this

[sage thunder]

Maybe but she never called him that in Korra either

[vital vigil]

ye.. thats why there might be context as to why she did here

also lol these idiots be emailing movies?

[sage thunder]

Apparently ye haha

It isn't the first time something like this has happened either

[pure hull]

Okay boys spoiler ||https://youtu.be/dh2020xF_EI||

[near prism]

Im considering it.............

[sage thunder]

Why does every country seem to have better disabled spots in the cinema better than UK lol

[sage thunder]

So true XD

[near prism]

Oh that sucks :/

[latent flame]

not where im located

they get the worst seats

in the verry front

like in row A for example

[fossil burrow]

Last episode of scrub reboot next week, hopefully they get a 2nd season

Bruh, might have to re-watch all of the boys on japanese

[sage thunder]

Holy shit I just finished episode 1 of the boys (current season I mean)

|| My anxiety was through the roof, I missed homelander actually being terrifying||

[vital vigil]

Tldw?

[naive rampart]

Corrupt, car brained politician wants to ruin local area and has gotten battered in the courts.

[vital vigil]

Lul

I live in the inner city. Honestly I wish I was somewhere more suburban with more nature

Without having to commute to work longer

City I live in is especially ugly

[naive rampart]

Suburbs are not the answer

Because they’re all car dependent

[edgy stone]

Suburban with more nature
Where suburbia are built on top of nature, not alongside of it

[vital vigil]

Can only take the best that's Available

[vital vigil]

I wouldn't mind that too much as long as I can do my groceries on foot and work isn't too far

But at least in my free time id live somewhere that's not a gray smogged urban jungle

Actually if groceries aren't close I'd just do the shopping on my way home from work

Or in the morning before work

[fallow wraith]

wfm

[naive rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTEkUe1k6gc

[vital vigil]

wfm?

work from.. mhome?

[fallow wraith]

i ment h XD

[vital vigil]

i like to have some days in the office and not completely wfh

feel like my degen site takes over if i can just never leave the house

i had it for 2 years during and it wasnt that great

[fallow wraith]

thats the whole point of living in the middle of no where

[vital vigil]

staying at home?

[fallow wraith]

letting your degen side take over

theres no one to stop you

its great

[near prism]

I thought this was quite humorous

[vital vigil]

its incredible how bad many american but especially "invincible" animations are

[fallow wraith]

is that english?

[vital vigil]

id say so

better?

[sage thunder]

There were lots of png flying scenes in the last episode lol

[vital vigil]

i havent even seen the latest season yet. in s1 i didnt notice as much but with s2 it became so obvious. and then they did that meta scene like noone noticed how shit the voiced comic is

[sage thunder]

S1 had a good budget

[vital vigil]

people were giving opm s3 shit meanwhile invincible looks like that by default

[sage thunder]

What

[vital vigil]

im kinda exaggerating but man i think their animations are bad

its so bad it breaks my immersion

[near prism]

to be fair invincible is trying to hit a yearly release schedule

[vital vigil]

ye.. with like 8 eps

[sage thunder]

Only recently? In the past the gaps were huge no?

[vital vigil]

also its been about 1.5 years between seasons

this last one was almost exactly 1 year tho

and they split up releases which would make be believe they didnt have all of em ready for launch of the first half

[near prism]

They started with season 3 I believe

[sage thunder]

S1 - 2021
S2 - 2023
S3 - 2025
S4 - 2026

Point is the animation got pretty bad after S1 regardless

So it's not a new trend

[vital vigil]

idk if its money, time or skill or maybe all of em. but id expect more especially in the face of animation basically having been monopolized by japan

[sage thunder]

They've also been replacing voice actors

[vital vigil]

in terms of popularity

[sage thunder]

For cheaper talent apparently

[vital vigil]

important characters?

[sage thunder]

Rex was one

[vital vigil]

what..

[sage thunder]

Or well

What's the last season you watched

Also William was one

[vital vigil]

im only missing the last season

[sage thunder]

Zachary Quinto got booted

$$$$

[vital vigil]

that wasnt rexes voice tho

[sage thunder]

Ye so um

Watch the last season

[vital vigil]

once im through the animes from last season ill consider it

idk i feel like it aint getting better

[sage thunder]

Point is, budget probably isn't being increased and it does feel like having top tier cast is probably not helping at this point

[vital vigil]

animation is expensive and im guessing the viewership just isnt there. but amazon is huge af. these cuts are shortsighted stupid decisions.

[sage thunder]

I'd imagine they didn't sign up for multi series long contracts so it wouldn't surprise me if the prices went up for celeb voice actors

[sage thunder]

Isn't it like one of Amazon's most successful shows?

[vital vigil]

i have no idea. im just tryna rationalize why the show looks like it has no budget

[sage thunder]

Then again hazbin hotel beat invincibles viewership

[vital vigil]

only going off of imdb ratings the boys has almost 3x the ratings

[sage thunder]

Yet hazbin has a much lower budget and a pretty huge cast lol

[edgy stone]

Viewership was three times higher at S2 than at S1, S3 was apparently even bigger than S2

[vital vigil]

hows that possible. people just start watching from s3?

[sage thunder]

As in first week viewership?

Because that would make sense

[edgy stone]

I mean viewership during season release window

[sage thunder]

People like me started invincible S1 quite late

[vital vigil]

thatd make sense..

[sage thunder]

Ye that makes sense then

[edgy stone]

It's mostly director's fault, he says that "animation medium is limiting" and that he would prefer to do Invincible live action

[vital vigil]

show is good, word of mouth spreading it to friends and the internet and next season more people watch

[vital vigil]

r..... detected

imagine saying that when animation literally means endless possibilities

[sage thunder]

They also use cheap Korean animation studios right? And accidentally north korea

[vital vigil]

well done anime is larger than life

these hacks are just missing the skills and creativity

[edgy stone]

Or one of the main showrunners, I don't recall correctly the article I read yesterday
Still, he is used to making mostly live action TV shows

[vital vigil]

i wouldnt wanna watch jjk or any other shonen as a live action production

[sage thunder]

Regardless

Amazing show

[vital vigil]

invincible?

[edgy stone]

We saw Dragon Ball, Death Note and Kakegurui live action, they were... well...

[vital vigil]

ok those were also done by idiots

[sage thunder]

Yes

[vital vigil]

the issue wasnt them being live action

[sage thunder]

I love it more than I love to trash talk it

[vital vigil]

id argue one piece is a really good adaptation comparatively

[sage thunder]

It's so good

I haven't watched the anime though

But it's sooooo good

[vital vigil]

they changed a bunch of course which i think is ok

but they also cut a ton of high cost stuff that woulda needed tons of cgi

so thats kinda lame

[sage thunder]

Sometimes less is more

[vital vigil]

ye but sometimes less is just less

[sage thunder]

My biggest complaint though with S2 is it felt like the plot didn't really progress

Like it did in S1

So probably what you're saying TBF

[vital vigil]

i still think is its a good adaption and id recommend it to normies

[sage thunder]

I liked cowboy bebop too tbh

[vital vigil]

its the only anime adaptation i can think of that didnt piss on its original

[sage thunder]

It had so much potential, I watched the anime after the live action

[vital vigil]

its so annoying when they take an ip but then nothing else matches the material lol

the characters have the same names but theyre completely different

[sage thunder]

Death note

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-comedy-ryan-reynolds-gross-sick-gif-3496531

https://tenor.com/view/light-yagami-light-yagami-scream-netflix-gif-1821496753782633009

This scene still has me in stitches is so bad

[vital vigil]

like light in the death note movie..
original: a superb student with a strong sense of justice, which evolved into a god complex. needless to say hes insanely smart and cunning
movie: a lil bitch, is such a big virgin that insantly spills his secret to the first woman who gives him a lil attention and a petty delinquent who takes money for doing homework

like wtf

[sage thunder]

Haha

[vital vigil]

real light would look down on this dude

cant stop myself from ranting. but man its so infuriating that they sell these ips to people who dont appreciate them for more than the name to milk em

[sage thunder]

cough EA

Same shit different medium

[vital vigil]

everything always gotta be milked

thats why im always so happy when shows are only a couple seasons and know when to end

[fallow wraith]

So watched the avatar leak, its not great XD

[sage thunder]

They released the entire film?

[fallow wraith]

it got leaked

[sage thunder]

Yoink

[old patio]

Disnt someone get emailed by accident

[fallow wraith]

yeah thats the story

but its also a 1080 full rip

so maybe the got linked like a dropbox folder or something

[sage thunder]

Why is it not great without spoiling

[fallow wraith]

animation is good, story was super mid

[sage thunder]

Ur mid

[fallow wraith]

did you watch it?

[fallow wraith]

damn youtube is nuke tons of channels over inauthentic content its wild

they got ai trying to detect ai

[vital vigil]

Ye I feared as much just from the leaked scene

[pliant forum]

It seems very unlikely it was unintentionally leaked. Press copies usually have a bunch of watermarks specifically to track down the source.

Maybe someone in the marketing department wanted to get ahead of a potential mid release by hyping up a "leak"

[vital vigil]

Probably either an idiot or someone who didn't give a fuck and leaked it on purpose. Putting the whole movie online is a huge financial blow, since it was supposed to get people to sub to their shitty service

[pliant forum]

I am skeptical. But I have no proof, only gut feeling.

Admittedly could be hilarious if this was a disgruntled employee who's a fan of the original works, who thought this was shit and wanted to get it out before people paid.

[vital vigil]

Based

Not really but hopefully they get the ppl involved

[errant flower]

why would u do that all those people who worked on the movie. Knowing how the USA industry is, the cinema release is fully fucked now and theyre gonna pay the price

[vital vigil]

I thought they decided to not do a cinema release to advertise their shitty streaming service

And how is it ionstorms fault it got leaked

[errant flower]

im pretty sure it was still scheduled for a big release

anyway

leaking stuff like this is always shitty

corpos aside, the people working on it get screwed over

[vital vigil]

It's the same as piracy. Can't stop people

[edgy stone]

Eh, at this point people who worked on it already got paid

[fallow wraith]

its going to be paramount plus nly release

so it was doomed anyway

that was announced that last December

[fallow wraith]

https://www.paramountplus.com/sneak-peak/the-legend-of-aang-the-last-airbender-everything-you-need-to-know/

[errant flower]

its not unheard of for a movie to have day-1 streaming service AND a cinema release but hey

[fallow wraith]

but it wasnt going to

the literally announced they were canceling the cinema and making it a paramount exclusive

[errant flower]

but how does that work with countries that dont have paramount+

that doesnt make sense

anyways

doesnt matter what the release way was

[fallow wraith]

they dont get it thats how

[errant flower]

watching leaked like that is ass

[fallow wraith]

how

[pliant forum]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9T9IMfa75ro
Should watch some proper Avatar instead.

[errant flower]

yeah thats real smart from a marketing perspective

[fallow wraith]

fam have you heard of paramount before?

[errant flower]

yes bro I have

Im just not interested in this discussion so im moving on

[vital vigil]

I don't get how this is any different than normal piracy

[fallow wraith]

they are terrible, they are just a soulest investment caplital company

[vital vigil]

Sometimes when the own service isn't in a country they'll make it available on another service

Maybe mansen is right. Maybe some disgruntled employee did leak it on purpose

Cz they got fucked over into releasing online only

I'd be pretty pissed if I was promised a theatrical release

[fallow wraith]

it was 100% on purpose

its a complete 1080p 264 release with the full into and credits

the full credits arent added to a film until extremely late in the release cycle

[pliant forum]

And without press watermarks.

[fallow wraith]

press copy generally wouldnt have them

and yeah zero watermarks or id

i have second had presscopt laser disks and they all have watermarks and ids

[pliant forum]

Mhmm. Every leaked press copy I have ever seen has moving, intrusive watermarks with all manner of information. It's like a closed beta game but worse 😄

[fallow wraith]

but also a press copy with the paramount intro and full animated credits is suspect

you just get a written copy of the credits

[vital vigil]

Idk. Someone leaked it. It's Pandoras box

Can't stop ppl. Ive seen people post the whole movie on twitter lol

[fallow wraith]

Also the animation was obviously done

It's extremely well animated

I didn't see any placeholder or stand in stuff

[vital vigil]

I really wanna hear pleasants opinion on the movie

He a big avatar fan

[near prism]

Um.. what..?

[edgy stone]

Everything but PC port

I know Sony is out of touch, but come on

[flat mural]

There is not even a patch for 60FPS for the PS4 version of the game, nothing, this game will be stuck on PS4 for 20 years like Metal Gear Solid 4 was on the PS3.

[vital vigil]

nah im sure the remake and pc port are coming with the movie to advertise each other

[flat mural]

There will be a Switch 2 release at the same time for sure for sure.

[near prism]

Surely duskbloods wont be a beautiful masterpiece that’ll suffer the same fate as bloodbourne

[edgy stone]

Didn't From said that they don't want anyone else to make a remake, because they will botch it, and From themselves won't make it, because they have no time to work on it?

I think Miyazaki wasn't very happy about Demon's Souls remake

[flat mural]

Duskblood is multiplayer so nobody is going to care.

[fallow wraith]

bb is playable on shad no?

[vital vigil]

ive not played it but it looked really good

[near prism]

Very bold thing to say with like over 5 years of development and being directed by Miyazaki himself unlike nightreign

[edgy stone]

Yeah, but no official release still

[edgy stone]

According to Miyazaki it didn't capture the essence of DS
But most people liked it, so

[flat mural]

I mean it's multiplayer PVP or PVE only, there is no singleplayer mode afaik, I'm not even going to touch it.

Multiplayer DOA.

[near prism]

We don’t even know much about the game, radio silence for a year straight lmao

Also nightreign has offline so I think they’ll do the same here

[vital vigil]

i agree that itll die very quickly. switch 2 is really not the platform for what theyre trying to do imo

[near prism]

I mean they were hired, not like it’s their choice to choose the platform

[vital vigil]

ye, but im just saying. i dont think switch 2 is a big market for the game

[near prism]

Yeah for sure

[flat mural]

I also refuse to pay for online, so could I even play the game at all even if I got it for free? Lel.

[near prism]

Switch 2 has only sold 15mil units, PlayStation is like over 50mil, and pc has lot of people (noone plays on Xbox)

[vital vigil]

and by virtue of not being a singleplayer title also basically noone from the souls lovers would buy a switch 2 just to play it. so whats the strat here

[flat mural]

Switch 2 was released last year though, PS5 was like 2020.

[vital vigil]

switch 2 is huge. i just dont think many of those buy it and then stick to it for ages

iirc they said it was going to be pvpve

[near prism]

Seems like I was mostly wrong I really wanna give it the benefit of the doubt tho

Im still picking up the game day 1

https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2025/April/Creator-s-Voice-The-Duskbloods-2796823.html

[vital vigil]

i mean, im sure itll be more than playable for a couple months

youll for sure get your value out of it

[near prism]

I don’t think it’ll outright die, miyazaki seems very competent in the interview so I assume there will be actual content drops since this is a miyazaki project after all

Nightreign was more of a kitbash of reused assets

[vital vigil]

it was fun but i felt like it had more potential that was not used

starts that almost all of the bosses are boring fat monsters instead more of the good and interesting fights

[near prism]

I waited a bit to see how nightreign was, never bought it. I was skeptical

[vital vigil]

it played really well

[near prism]

No yeah it did I played the network test and played a tiny bit of the actual game through steam family, I just didn’t think it was worth the money. Even with friends

We ended up doing seamless co op for elden ring

Was so much more fun

[vital vigil]

i say it every time. phenomenal fucking game

[edgy stone]

Those Twitter accounts are useless, not even a link to an article...
https://www.forbes.com/sites/robsalkowitz/2026/04/14/disney-layoffs-hit-marvel-studios-hard/

Hol up, they kicked out Iger?

[vital vigil]

after losing however many billions the last couple years disneys gotta save money

[edgy stone]

Hey, is that a franchise that people genuinely like and follow and is profitable like nothing else in the history of the company?
Let's change everything about it to squeeze even more money out of it!

[vital vigil]

feel like since endgame theyve not really been that profitable

on most stuff they produced film/tv wise

but ye.. probably for one theyre starting to work with AI tools which cuts down on jobs and also "hiring on per project basis"

[edgy stone]

2~3 movies per year
People could easily keep up with the story, no problem with finding some free time to go to cinema like twice a year either
And on production side VFX teams had way more time to polish everything
But then Disney noticed that everyone had a streaming service, and they wanted one too

So they added TV series, which are crucial to the plot, so people who only watched movies got completely confused what's happening
And they were made as fast as possible, so story suffered, VFX suffered, pretty much everything

[vital vigil]

what show is crucial to what movies

since endgame a lot of the shit they released was boring, badly done or replaced key characters in ways noone wanted and on top of that they were badly written too

[edgy stone]

To overall plot
Up until Endgame you only needed to watch movies
After Endgame they started referencing in movies things that happened in TV shows

[vital vigil]

ye i meant an example

[pliant forum]

2-3 movies were 2 too many for most.

Marvel fatigue syndrome is a very real thing.

[vital vigil]

i barely watch marvel anymore

i was kinda done with the franchise after the first avengers movie. i still very much enjoyed that one but afterwards idk. everything was samey, all characters became snarky reddit commenters

"comedy" became full conversations of shitty one liners at each other

[pliant forum]

I grew tired of them, when every movie's main job seemed to be to introduce the next hero/plotline for the movie coming out next.

[edgy stone]

I know that for example WandaVision was pretty much essential to watch if you wanted to know what was happening in second Doctor Strange movie
Also The Falcon and the Winter Soldier story was basis for third Ant-Man and Captain America: Brave New World

[edgy stone]

One-liners were okay until they started putting them everywhere
Even if you had a serious moment in the story characters had to be witty and deliver one-liners

[vital vigil]

exactly

now its like every fucking character. everyone has become tony stark

and maybe replacing core heroes with new characters that then proceed to completely shit on their legacy wasnt a good play either

[edgy stone]

Yeah, getting Captain America to be as popular as Spider-Man in mainstream was hard enough to accomplish
And then they decided that "eh, people will remember another 50 superheroes, don't worry"

[pliant forum]

Yeah... Wasn't the first Thor movie* fairly restrained in this manner? And then later it was non stop?

[vital vigil]

mostly started with tony stark doing those and then it spread to all heroes and all characters later

[vital vigil]

also the typical move of leaving your main demographic to make it appealing to "everyone" was a huge failure

[edgy stone]

I think it was because of second Thor movie, The Dark World
It was very quite darker than more serious than first one, and it wasn't as popular, so they decided to make Thor a goof, and there we go, Ragnarok was a massive success

[edgy stone]

I think here it was the other way around
They took original story and made it more appealing to general audience at first, hell, after Iron-Man release mainstream audience wasn't thinking about is as a superhero movie, but more like an action movie about genius who made himself a power suit
Later on they added some references to this comic story, here this, here that, some winks toward comic fans
But now you kinda have to know what was happening in comic story to understand some plot threads
They bit more than they can chew at once, instead of making content a bit more slowly but being way more profitable in long run

They have logo for Thor too?

[errant flower]

[edgy stone]

Hewwo

[vital vigil]

thats also part of it but im mainly talking about making full feature movies with badly written female heroes noone gives a shit about and replacing male heroes established for 50 years with counterparts that then on top literally shit on them in dialogue..

marvel was already gigantic and everyone was already watching it and then they disgruntled their biggest demographic. men who think the heroes are cool and self insert wanting to be like them

[errant flower]

[vital vigil]

finished life of the immortal king s5. its a chinese anime. nothing special but pretty good entertainment imo
kind of comedy and somewhat parody of the OP mc trope
https://myanimelist.net/anime/41094/Xian_Wang_de_Richang_Shenghuo

[flat mural]

It's good, have you watched any of the other popular shows?

Link Click and Founder of Diabolism is really good.

Chinese shows I watch weekly atm is Perfect World, Soul Land II, Throne of Seal and Battle Through the Heavens.

[vital vigil]

ive seen link click and i think im up to date. unless something new released within the last 1-2 years

[flat mural]

The Founder of Diabolism has a live action version as well called The Untamed, I've watched both but I prefer the animated show.

[vital vigil]

id watch the show. i think ive had it on the list but no dub

[flat mural]

It has a japanese dub on Crunchyroll afaik

Probably not whole show though

[vital vigil]

i dont speak either

[flat mural]

That's what subs is for

I doubt any of these willk ever get an english dub

[vital vigil]

im illiterate only watch dub

apparently im not up to date on link click

i havent seen "Link Click: Bridon Arc"

is that canon sequel?

https://myanimelist.net/anime/56752/Shiguang_Dailiren__Yingdu_Pian this

[flat mural]

Side story so I haven't watched that

[vital vigil]

are you sure thats a side story? the synopsis sounds like the continuation of the mainstory

huge fucking spoiler for anyone who hasnt watched the previous seasons, so dont read it on the page

[flat mural]

I think so? It's put under side story at least, I haven't looked super much into it so I dunno. I have it on my plan to watch but never got around to it.

[vital vigil]

this season is also marked as a sequel https://i.imgur.com/5HXgQs5.png

it seems like the actual continuation

and in october the sequel season to that is coming out

[near prism]

Invincible and The Boys dropped their new episode like 7 hours ago if you guys haven’t seen it yet

[edgy stone]

Still waiting for the end of seasons

[flat mural]

The Boys is only like half the season right and we getting next half next month or something?

[vital vigil]

really? i thought they dropped a couple first week and now go weekly

[near prism]

Its weekly

Why can’t anybody here understand how awesome weekly’s are ;(

[flat mural]

I watch anime weekly and it sucks so hard.

Why do you want me to be depressed every week?

Can't I just be depressed once per season instead?

[vital vigil]

i get what you mean how its like more exciting and you can exchange with people about it "live", but man im not boutta start 7 shows in parallel just to be on edge for their cliff hanger simulator for 3-6 months depending on if its 12 or 24 eps

[near prism]

Gives you something to look forward to every week, episodes linger in your mind so you have more time to process it, community engagement with other people who watch the show, YADA YADA YADA IVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS SO MANY TIMES BUT YOU GUYS DONT SEEM TO GET IT

Not a peep larry. i already know what your thoughts on this matter are.

[vital vigil]

[flat mural]

I get what you mean BUT if those are my options I'd chose to watch an old show that I haven't watched that I can binge instead 😄

[vital vigil]

also binging means you forget most of it faster so you can rewatch quicker

[near prism]

We surely are thinking with our brains here

[vital vigil]

i dont do it cz of that but i do appreciate the bonus

i binged jjk s2 after it came out and when i rewatched it 2 months ago i barely remembered anything

[flat mural]

I remember so much more if I binge, if I watch 1 episode per week I'll forget about it, I'll barly get into the episode before it's over.

What happens when I watch weekly is every week I rewatch the last 10 episodes so by the end I've seen the show 10 times.

[near prism]

I also don’t remember much from season 2 of jjk because I also binged it like 4 years ago

[vital vigil]

really? when i used to watch eps as they came out i remembered parts of every ep. but if i binge i only remember important parts of the whole thing. which menas its a lot less that stays in my mind

[near prism]

I have adhd and autism so that might contribute to it….

[vital vigil]

either way. not being able to watch smth i wanna watch annoys me

[flat mural]

I also don't remember JJK season 2 but that's because that show is so mid I just can't.

[vital vigil]

jjk is one of the peak shonens how can you even unironically say smth like this

[near prism]

Mid is not the right word
Overhyped, definitely

[vital vigil]

blasphemy

this is heresy. mods get him!

[flat mural]

No, it's mid, I don't find it enjoyable, there are 6/10 shows I'd rather watch.

[vital vigil]

rage baiting

[near prism]

Name 10 books

[flat mural]

WAAAAAAAAH I can name book series does that count?

[near prism]

Im just saying bullshit Im not being serious

[vital vigil]

not enjoying something is one thing but you cant objectively say its a mid show when the animations, direction and choreography are so good

i can barely name a couple shows that can match it

[near prism]

I mean sure if jjk isn’t interesting to you alright I can kinda get it

[flat mural]

Delicious in Dungeon is a show I should love as well but I can't get past episode 4.

[vital vigil]

i stopped dungeon as well

[near prism]

Just pretend that you watched the entire show and talk about how great it is like all the other internet fakecels

[flat mural]

I've tried to watch it like 4 times and I just stop watching it around episode 4 and put on some cooking shit on YouTube instead.

Maybe I'm just hungry.

[near prism]

Lmaoo

Yeah

[fallow wraith]

watch while eating

[near prism]

Problem solved

[vital vigil]

i watched a couple of eps and while it had some funny bits it just didnt seem that interesting

like it was gonna be a show about how to cook disgusting shit that is then delicious

[near prism]

I havent seriously seen it but I watched a couple episodes through my friends stream

Seems like a fun show

[fallow wraith]

thats half of the show

the other half is dnd

[vital vigil]

im almost done with the around 7 shows i was waiting for to finish from last season. probably gonna watch one piece soon

the anime

im at wano

[flat mural]

This season is so stacked

And

The show I want to watch the most is Wistoria season 2

Lulz

Ascendance of a Bookworm, Re:Zero and Slime all this season and I've waited years for those.

[fallow wraith]

slime has been like barely more than a year

[flat mural]

Slime was like 2023 or something

2024 maybe

[fallow wraith]

yeah slime ended sept 2024

[near prism]

I stopped like mid katekuri fight at wholecake

[fallow wraith]

and rezero was last winter

[near prism]

I wanna continue though

[fallow wraith]

only bookworm has been years XD

[flat mural]

SO TIME IS MOVING FASTER IN MY HEAD, SUE ME

[fallow wraith]

slime also had a movie

[flat mural]

Movie doesn't count

[fallow wraith]

XD

[flat mural]

Not canon

[fallow wraith]

it hasnt been released in na

[flat mural]

Also where is my Made in Abyss season 3?

[fallow wraith]

also bookworm animation is like 9/10

[flat mural]

Made in Abyss best OST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFzDQ2OjFko

[flat mural]

I was going to start reading the manga for Bookworm but it's like 3 different ones publishing at the same time or something so I just stopped trying.

[fallow wraith]

the anime story is complete and even published in enginlish

[flat mural]

I don't think so? It was kinda cliffhanger ending last time I watched it. Would be shit if that's the ending.

[fallow wraith]

no

[flat mural]

You mean the manga?

[fallow wraith]

the LN

[flat mural]

LN I wont touch.

[fallow wraith]

the LN is the original

the mange is an odd one they are working one one part chapter of each of the 5 parts

so 1 and 2 are done

[flat mural]

Yeah, no point reading it.

[fallow wraith]

but 3 4 and 5 are only partial english

but the ln is best

[flat mural]

If you have no imagination the LN is the worst.

[fallow wraith]

do you read at a 3rd grade level or something

[flat mural]

Nah, but I prefer visual stimulation.

[fallow wraith]

it has galleries XD

[flat mural]

It's nowhere close to the manga.

[vital vigil]

wholecake was such a terrible arc. im not far into wano but the whole artstyle and animations changed for the better

[fallow wraith]

well yeah

[flat mural]

Music and sound also adds a lot to the immersion for me so that's also why I prefer anime over manga.

[vital vigil]

@latent flame bro what the fuck. golden kamuy this piece of shit show doesnt actually end with the "final season"????

im so fucking annoyed rn

[vital vigil]

is the malcom in the middle reboot only 4 eps?

im seeing 4 eps released at once and no more listed on imdb

[fossil burrow]

yeah it's a mini series/pilot sort of thing

[vital vigil]

will that be it?

[fossil burrow]

hopefully not

but if a new series does happen it'll probably be focus on malcom's daughter

[vital vigil]

ive not finished the main show yet. looked up the reboot and its only 4 eps with a rating a bunch worse than the original

[fossil burrow]

and less of the old cast

I enjoyed it, but yeah the 4 epsiode was limiting

[vital vigil]

if i end up finishign the main show ill watch it for sure

[vital vigil]

https://i.imgur.com/bXQl1VY.png

oh damn. why are people not liking it?

[fallow wraith]

its not good

[latent flame]

yeah i was annoyed too

[latent flame]

it was a decent watch

i mean i didnt think the first super mario movie was amazing either but a lot of people really liked it

[vital vigil]

why?

i looked at the rating of the first and it was only a 7 too, which surprised me

[fallow wraith]

thats how ratings work

[vital vigil]

what

[vital vigil]

thought it was a decent watch and it was better than i expected

[latent flame]

yeah each movie has their pros and cons

now its avatar time

[vital vigil]

The leaked movie?

[jagged tiger]

The perfect movie doesn’t ex…..

Fixed it for you

[halcyon nimbus]

Playstation ones were interesting

[sage thunder]

Tbh the black ops storyline was pretty cool

[vital vigil]

idk about story but there were a handful of good mp experiences in that franchise

i stopped playing campaign after mw2. played all the ones before it

[grizzled drift]

i'd say the first MW from 2007, everything after was just trash

mw 2019 reboot was surprisingly really good

I agree

One of my favourite missions was

https://tenor.com/view/bravo-six-going-dark-cod-sergeant-mw-modern-warfare-gif-14985183

The house one

[grizzled drift]

i don't really count reboots/remaster/re-whatever the heck as actual games, i more or less take them as a sign that their other catalog sucks and they want to revive something that was actually successful in the past in the hopes of making some decent cash again 😅

but then again, i only ever really played the first cod, MW1 and MW3 (only for the survival mode)

[vital vigil]

what ever the reason they did it. it was still an actually good entry

[vital vigil]

watched the first 2 eps of scrubs reboot. actually really good

[rich cipher]

I enjoyed it

[fossil burrow]

Man I only have the boys and invincible left to watch after scrubs ended

Need to see what's coming up, think rick and morty s9 is next month

[pure hull]

the boys: season 5 episode 4

[buoyant fox]

hmm she looks arguably more normal than on season 4 good for her id say

[pure hull]

Happy to see her normal for once

[buoyant fox]

hollywood docs should be banned from touching young folks ngl

[pure hull]

Well some of them make that decision(young folks)

Now if a trend gets set of more natural appearances

Also besides that she has graves disease

[buoyant fox]

thats fair but still i think she had something done , you dont look like handsome squidward over night

[pure hull]

Well women to be way to self conscious

Supposedly I heard they do it for other women

[pure hull]

So figures

[buoyant fox]

hollywood does that to people , men and women alike

[pure hull]

Maybe it is part of culture 🤷‍♂️

Also a tendency to blend in

[buoyant fox]

yeah still i think there was no reason to do something in her case, season 4 was rough then again lore wise with the impostor made lowkey sense

[pure hull]

Ah yeah I remember that

[buoyant fox]

im still waiting to binge it just to feel bad for a moment , season 4 was kinda hard to watch imo compared to the other seasons.

[pure hull]

i kinda find it hard to watch some episodes with how much luster some episodes have

[buoyant fox]

yeah its certainly not the easiest to binge , season 1 and 2 were fine

[pure hull]

she still is pretty innocent in that season

[pure hull]

the episodes are also like an entire hour long

[buoyant fox]

i think the tone shift is valid but makes the boys hard to binge

[pure hull]

fair, invincible falls better to that in my opinion

[buoyant fox]

i still have to start that tbh , i have seen clips its good right?

[pure hull]

Of course

Do not look too closely at the animation to fully enjoy it though would be my recommendation

They got some A role actors

[buoyant fox]

at least its not one frame man?

[pure hull]

Who ask for a ton of funds

[pure hull]

Oh of course not

Just some people pointed in recent time there are some lazy animations

[pure hull]

https://youtube.com/shorts/vvhLuqg1X_I

[buoyant fox]

fair enough i mean i stomached some old anime

[pure hull]

You can watch that

Not really a spoiler

[buoyant fox]

not too bad

[pure hull]

Like?

[buoyant fox]

initial d stage one has pretty meh animation but in a loveable way

[pure hull]

Ah

Any others?

[buoyant fox]

shakotan boogie from 1991 aswell

[pure hull]

Never heard of it well alright

[pure hull]

Smaller studio and budget?

[buoyant fox]

certainly niche it started as a manga and then got adapted to an anime

There is a French comic

They went to like indegogo to get funding

Got season 1

It was pretty good though sometimes disturbing like the boys

Season 2 got delayed inveitably due to funding

[buoyant fox]

hmm yeah i mean the 13 episode animes are the same , season 1 gets greenlit the rest not as much

[buoyant fox]

this is essentially japanese counter culture which is interesting , kaido racer culture etc is built around escaping the chains of japanese society

[pure hull]

Interesting may look into it

[buoyant fox]

you can watch it on youtube i did, wangan midnight is also pretty interesting to watch imo, but its well animated since it was produced after initial d

[buoyant fox]

looks interesting tbh

[buoyant fox]

ayo

[pure hull]

French lore

Based on birds

Anyways well done

Even the English voice casting

Small studio

[buoyant fox]

hmm i like passion projects

[pure hull]

I may honestly watch it again

Definitely a good one like Toradora or Assassination Classroom

[buoyant fox]

hmm i need to watch less niche animes at times

[buoyant fox]

i just checked wangan midnight is also on youtube, funnily enough the anime is not even as crazy as the real footage of the time, also mechanically all sound if thats a concern.

[pure hull]

Could you synonymize mechanically all sound?

[buoyant fox]

i mean its not made up stuff where they suddenly ignore physics hell the devil z is basically undriveable because the chassis is flexxing and cant handle the engine power which was a real concern on the actual car its modeled after

[pure hull]

Ah no dominic torreto family motivation I see

Good to know

[buoyant fox]

i mean if we ignore that the main cast believes the car to be posssed by the devil then yeah , its all based on actual cars that existed at the time running at yatabe and other high speed circuits in japan including the c1 loop in tokyo

if you want to watch initial d they condensed the first 3 stages in 3 movies they are a decent watch

[edgy stone]

Third Stage was always a movie, there's no episodic one

[fossil burrow]

Soul eater remake would be cool

[pliant forum]

Goblins? Goblins.

[fossil burrow]

Bruh what they do to nami's arms

[vital vigil]

what dis?

[fossil burrow]

Oh wait

These were remake from newer episodes

Not the remake

[vital vigil]

newer episodes? at least 3 of em are from like the first 50 eps or smth

[fossil burrow]

I meant remake scenes for flashbacks in newer episodes

[vital vigil]

ah ok, they like reanimated these old scenes for flashbacks in more current eps?

[fossil burrow]

Maybe not current eps but definitely newer ones since the at style looks like Wano

[jagged tiger]

New basketball manga

[fossil burrow]

Man I can see the amount of yaoi fan art this is going to get

https://youtu.be/FkqIXFztj6Q?si=S_FlalrzLIumInIi

[sage thunder]

Hype

[flat mural]

I need to watch season 3, I forgot about this show.

[sage thunder]

With the gaps between seasons it isn't surprising

[flat mural]

Yeah, I love waiting years.

[sage thunder]

Sucks but tbf the quality is too notch with vox.... Especially compared to invincible

[flat mural]

Never watched Invincible, it's one of those shows on my list that I'll get to eventually before I die, maybe.

[fossil burrow]

Not too bad now that we also get mighty nien

[cedar pier]

yooo, is that the fireforce sequel

[latent flame]

A lot of the streaming pirate sites are getting shut down. I wonder if that has anything to due with the avatar movie leaks

[pliant forum]

Doubt it.

They are expensive to run compared to just sharing torrent files and whatnot. And are more difficult to keep anonymous.

[old patio]

They'll be back, they usually get shut down by a company then come back, and like Mansen said they're hard to run, the others are usually just a site that allow people to upload stuff and share it

[vital vigil]

Haven't seen soul eater yet?

[cedar pier]

Of course i have on that note, you should read the manga, the anime was still made back when they would just make up an ending since they outpaced the source material

[vital vigil]

What.. is the manga ending different?

[cedar pier]

Yes

It's also a decent bit longer

[vital vigil]

O.o

Eh I don't really enjoy reading manga or stories In general

[cedar pier]

"Reading"

[vital vigil]

Well ye it's not about the reading only. I just don't enjoy consuming fiction or stories like that

[vital vigil]

The advantage is that I don't know the source material and don't get pissed if the anime deviates

Worst case the anime just sucks and I give it a bad rating

[jagged tiger]

Some dude kept sharing it on Twitter lol

[vital vigil]

Finishing up scrubs reboot this weekend. I'm amazed by how good it actually is seeing as most reboots have been garbage

They were actually able to recapture the shows essence

Oh noes

[vital vigil]

why do they look like children

[sage thunder]

Because they are children

Originally

And teens later on

[vital vigil]

these are children?

holy fuck they were about 16

look like adults to me

[pure hull]

Damn no Mindy Kaling

[sage thunder]

Ye lol

[buoyant fox]

that show was certainly something

[pliant forum]

I bet they'll find some way to avoid dealing with the whole weed dude personality of Shaggy.

[pure hull]

That explains why shaggy has a large appetite

Never thought otherwise until now

[sage thunder]

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1987680/

Good film

Didn't even realise it was Kevin hart lol

[vital vigil]

its the american fake of the french film

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1675434/

[wicked aspen]

did the french film atleast hire a disabled actor?

[vital vigil]

no idea but why would that matter

they also dont hire actual super heroes for their marvel films. theyre just regular actors

[sage thunder]

I have been told

[wicked aspen]

It does matter to a good amount of disabled people. There’s tons of research on the topic but it kinda boils down to by not having someone who’s disabled play a disabled role is kind of like erasing the significance of the disability.

[sage thunder]

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5592146/

It works in the favour of the show or film when they use disabled actors

[buoyant fox]

its a damn good movie cant say much about the knockoff but the original is good

[jagged tiger]

Bro!!!! Big ass W

[grim coyote]

any severance fans around here? i have been obsessed ever since the first episode dropped in 2022 and i have exactly 0 people in real life who have ever seen it so i am desperately seeking fellow fans so we can obsess together and talk about why milchick is the best character in the show

[vital vigil]

that movie did a fuckton for disabled people awareness in france.
it changed the landscape. it didnt matter if the actor was disabled or not.

[sage thunder]

I do agree with the doesn't matter part

[granite wind]

Milchick is THE best guy ever

The "dance" scene haunts me daily ahahaha

[grim coyote]

Gooood gooood

Which one though? Surely both

[granite wind]

Both!!

That gif was my profile picture for SO LONG

It's so intense it gives me shivers

[vital vigil]

can we like not spoil season finales

[sage thunder]

It was so cool

[sage thunder]

Agreed

Great scene though

[vital vigil]

i stopped s2 midway

[sage thunder]

I honestly didn't like s2 as much as 1

[vital vigil]

thats also part of why i stopped. it wasnt bad by any means but i struggle watching shows with eps that are 40-60 min

i need to finish it tho

[grim coyote]

My apologies, didn’t mean to

Not nice of me

[vital vigil]

finished frieren s2. was very good of course. i love the positive messages and the push to enjoy life in the moment instead of just putting all of ones happiness in the results

these days it feels like most either live in the past because of regret or in the future because of anxiety

[vital vigil]

Can they stop

[vital vigil]

Isn't this a kids show?

[sage thunder]

Yes and no

[latent flame]

https://youtube.com/shorts/bsAOmSi5acU?si=c4cEh4VdWGX-t6Zh

[vital vigil]

Barely over half

Aight I'm dropping it until it's completely done

[latent flame]

probably gonna be like 4+ seasons

[vital vigil]

ye i wasnt really enjoying the show too much anyway. so ill just leave it here and maybe at the end ill watch it

[fallow wraith]

the comic is much better imo

[near prism]

More like a teenager show tbh

[latent flame]

fair

been having the same feelings about the show

some parts were good and other times it was meh

[near prism]

Yeah thats why we’re getting yearly seasons

I think they’re planning on having atleast 10 season I believe

They’re treating the comic as essentially a “rough draft” and refining it through the show with mostly subtle changes for the better

pretty good show

didnt reach the scrubs peak for me but decent watch

[latent flame]

i thought the show finished wth

https://tenor.com/view/dance-excited-yay-happy-dance-gif-11723642296722997951

[vital vigil]

bill lawrence also made another show whos name i forgot

shrinking?

with marshall from himym and harrison ford

[jagged tiger]

New SAO movie?

[maiden jacinth]

that the dude who flew to a military base for some beer with friends right?

oh no im thinking of the greatest beer run ever

[near prism]

Im watching The Boys, I genuinely love frenchie as a character but the fact the actor for him was an evil ass idf soldier pisses me off so much 😭😭😭

[sage thunder]

I legit just found that out myself 😭

[near prism]

It really takes me out of it yk ☹️

[near prism]

Anyways I just finished the latest episode

My favorite so far this season!

[vital vigil]

you know they get forced to right?

[near prism]

Didn’t he assault an underaged child? I don’t think he was forced to do that. Unless I’m misinformed

I also hear he expressed that he enjoyed his time being a soldier

[vital vigil]

ok i dont know anything about him. i learned about the idf thing here and only meant, youre forced to be in it

[near prism]

Oh yeah definitely I don’t deny that he was forced into it

Its just

What he did

Very yikes

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-my-mom-is-kinda-homeless-please-speed-i-need-this-tired-blow-gif-15401023925154467112

[buoyant fox]

i mean maybe he had fun doing the exercises etc, im not really convinced because both ways folks just make stuff up to fit their narrative these days

[vital vigil]

ok seems like its only some shit thats a big deal to a couple of people on socials

[near prism]

Information usually spreads like wildfire online so I’m not fully sure on the details

[latent flame]

idf soldier in a movie or irl?

[near prism]

Like I don’t want to believe he did those bad things but like idk it seems real to me

[near prism]

Irl actor

[vital vigil]

theres like literally no outlet or news agency saying anything about it and all you find is just social media shit

[latent flame]

im talking about the actor being an idf in real life or it being a movie role

[vital vigil]

irl

[latent flame]

ok ty

[near prism]

Tbh.. I dont think the media would like to paint Israel in a bad light

[buoyant fox]

real life he did serve mandatory service in the idf when he was younger

[near prism]

Some girl in Miami got arrested for making a netenyahu joke on whatsapp and when the media covered it they were being very vague and emphasizing on what the public thought almost like they were at a choke hold by some higher entity

Hmm…

Wonder who may that be

👀

(The US government shaped object in question)

“In the middle of the night, you enter a family’s house… the family doesn’t let you get their 18-year-old daughter out easily, and a fight starts,” he said. “Pushing, cursing, and we tear her apart and drive off.”
“We arrive, we take her out of the car, she’s handcuffed… Her eyes are of course covered with flannel… I see eight other girls inside who look more or less the same.”

“You stand at the Huwara checkpoint, not letting a father pass with his daughter who is sick… because they announced not to let anyone pass,” he said.
“Children threw stones at us… my friend fired a bullet. Pressure, chaos,” he added.

this is what some people on socials are getting mad about from the interview
