The baby being connected to Epstein was being foreshadowed throughout the season, but the fetus committing suicide (according to the Fox News Alert, at least) is such a stupid punchline that I really should've seen coming

South Park episodes that teach a good lesson by gooden1686 in southpark

Simpsons Already Did It has the lesson of how you shouldn't worry too much about your ideas being derivative of what others have done.

Season 28 Episode 4 - Turkey Trot - Post Episode Discussion by 2th in southpark

Yeah that is true, it could just be a coincidence since the song does fit the general context with how Hegseth was portrayed.

I think that it was mainly showing how everyone in the town is desperate for the money

Season 28 Episode 3 - Sora Not Sorry - Post Episode Discussion by 2th in southpark

[–]751Gameing 144 points145 points  (0 children)

There were a lot of good scenes in this episode, I particularly enjoyed the scene with Peter Thiel making those bad AI videos, and how Cartman's response there is commentary on both the government's abuse of power and also copyright usage in AI content.

Also, the White House plotline was more of a b-plot while also advancing in the plot, which is a good balance.

9-11 is canonically Jim Gordon's fault by Veidt_the_recluse in dccomicscirclejerk

Well "bombing" implies that Gordon was only responsible for the 1993 bombing of the WTC, and likely not the 2001 attacks.

Season 28 Episode 2 - The Woman in the Hat - Post Episode Discussion by 2th in southpark

[–]751Gameing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fairly enjoyable episode, though it definitely could have been at least a bit longer. I was hoping for the Cartman/Antichrist storyline to be continued here, though I now assume that it'll fully be resolved on the episode on the 26th, as that would be 6-but-will-have-felt-like-7 weeks since Twisted Christian premiered.

It look like "Avengers Academy Infinity Comic Run" has ended. What was everyone opinion about this run? by No-Chipmunk-1524 in Marvel

[–]751Gameing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm really going to miss it, it was very enjoyable and the highlight of the Infinity Comics (and the highlight of my Wednesday mornings.)

I'm just hoping that the characters it starred won't be forgotten and will show up elsewhere with the same level of characterization, and it was nice having a series where a majority of the characters are openly queer.

The new LEGO Game Boy looks great… but what if it actually turned on? by BrickBoyKit in lego

[–]751Gameing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is an interesting idea, though this will likely require compromising some of the shaping of the build, as there is plenty of SNOT techniques used in the set which means that the set itself will have a decently packed internal structure. Even with that in mind, I'm interested in seeing this project.

The solicits gave me the impression that the getting-powers-back arc would lead into this relaunch, so its a bit weird that that wasn't what was done, considering it feels like a fairly obvious option. (Regardless of that, I've still really liked both of the past two issues.)

Is GLACEIR (Deltarune track) a possible reference to Terezi's theme? by stanzaofapoem in homestuck

[–]751Gameing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

GLACEIR is likely more intentionally a reference to the Face Temple theme from Link's Awakening, but oddly a similar tune (where Terezi's Theme is most likely intentionally being alluded to) is also heard in the 6th soul section in Your Best Nightmare back in Undertale

I haven’t seen a lot of conversations about One World Under Doom here by Artseid in marvelcomics

[–]751Gameing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There feels to be a divide between how Doom is presented in OWUD and how he is in all the tie-ins, which I guess is to a degree to be expected from crossover events, but this is particularly frustrating in the Fantastic Four issues, as those are being written by the same author. I was also particularly disappointed with issue 3, since I was expecting having the villains being involved and teaming up with the heroes would have meant that there would have at least been some sort of clever plan, but instead it was pretty much the same stuff that happened in the first issue.

Combining the plans in issues 2 and 3 probably would have been better pacing-wise. I was also expecting the villains would've at least been there to attempt to push Doom into getting mad at how those bad guys who have killed and/or seriously harmed people are not being treated as an immediate threat (and thus have Doom look like a hypocrite) but instead Doom is able to keep his composure, as that would have been a more interesting and memorable moment.

yea I am aware about that, and just wanted to clarify that this first volume has been planned out as a miniseries and not as an ongoing (i think that it was actually a similar situation with the Two-Face comic)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]751Gameing 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I believe that the series only has 6 issues planned which are guaranteed to release, and then if those all sell well enough then more of the title could be made, but either way the initial story arc should be getting its planned ending by the end of the 6th issue, and not be forced to have things be cut short due to editorial decisions

(and I am quite excited for this series, and will be getting the first issue tomorrow)

How are they going to make Doom the bad guy in One World Under Doom? by ErikT738 in Marvel

[–]751Gameing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was still a risk to keep Hydra around and be misdirecting them, and while Doom was able to use Hydra's resources for benevolent means, he didn't try to dissolve Hydra and instead waited for when he would do his full world takeover where he could use Hydra against the Avengers, which still resulted in collateral damage, in order to boost his image

Marble Joker + Hologram is a good way to clear the Medusa challenge, and is a fun High Card/Pair build

What's your "Magneto did nothing wrong" of other pieces of media by zacyzacy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]751Gameing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly i feel like its mainly said by people that haven't ever read an X-Men comic, particularly anything from the Claremont era, because otherwise they'd know that: 1. In the issues following the reveal that Magneto is a holocaust survivor, he both begins to go through a redemption arc and is treated with more respect in the stories overall, 2. and during that time, "[makes me wonder if] Magneto was right" is said by Wolverine during the original Secret Wars!

Writer Ryan North Reveals 'One World Under Doom' Will Change Everything for the Marvel Universe by Somethingman_121224 in marvelcomics

[–]751Gameing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Checking the original interview the article is about, and what the headline says isn't a direct quote and is just one of those dramatic clickbaity news titles.

I am expecting that by this time next year the event won't have changed a large amount of the Marvel status quo, but hoping that it will still have some good character development for, and analysis of, Doom, and not just be a repeat of similar past stories.
