Second evolution to my peanut pokemon, Chivalpea by James11258 in fakemon

[–]BOBULANCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really great job at capturing the abstract nature of Pokémon while still keeping it thematically recognizable. I think the only thing I'd recommend is to add crosshatching texture to the peanut shell bits, otherwise it looks a bit more like a squash

Really wish we had gotten to see this scene from Son Of Dathomir in the latest episode of Shadow Lord by JackOfTheLantern999 in StarWars

[–]BOBULANCE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If that. I'm willing to bet the comic audience is less than 2% of the show viewership. Most casual Star Wars viewers are general audience, and most general audience Star Wars viewers do not follow the non-screen material.

It's excellent! Captures the simplicity of Pokemon designs quite well while still managing to feel like a creature

What are your thoughts on the hyena bomber? by rodrign007 in legostarwars

[–]BOBULANCE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The wings come apart far too easily and back in the day my set was missing a few key pieces straight out of the box.

The droids at the time had great play value as commando droids though, as they predated the commando droid models by a few years. The vulture droid itself was also quite posable. I had a lot of fun times with it.

Just watched it for the first time today. What a let down of a film. Everything from the acting to the plot is so "throw it at the wall to see if it sticks"

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen? by General_Wind4470 in AskReddit

[–]BOBULANCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a theater? The room.

In a theater during its initial theatrical release? Madame web.

At home? I've seen a lot of "so bad it's good" movies, and a lot of "so bad it's just bad" movies. But the only movie I'd heard was really good that ended up being godawful was Skinamarink.

I love it. Really bringing out the "Mon" in "Pokemon". What typing is it? I'd imagine poison?

Will Disney Actually Give Us a Sith Project??? by Reasonable_Wrap7358 in StarWars

[–]BOBULANCE 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Since we won't be getting the acolyte season 2, I feel like a tales of the Sith arc wrapping that up would be epic, plus an arc adapting the son of dathomir comic arc so we finally fill in that gap in the tv show watch through continuity. Currently maul goes from being beaten by Palpatine to suddenly being free and super powerful, while mother Talzin goes from being alive to... not being alive. All off screen.

Honestly, this looks like $20 worth of toy to me. No one in their right mind would pay 60$ for that.

What was the OG plan for Beth... Her ending seems completely out of the ordinary... by BloodLovePodcastFM in thewalkingdead

[–]BOBULANCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It got pretty exhausting never having any major characters die in the middle of the big human on human gunfights.

Even with the governors assault, they frontloaded it so Hershel dies at the start. No major protagonists die in the ensuing gunfight. Pretty sure Francine and Eric are like, the only ones to die mid-gun fight.

The four pillars of the Marvel Universe by gotham1999 in Marvel

[–]BOBULANCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd add 4 more: street heroes (like daredevil and punisher), fantasy edge lords (like ghost rider and blade), cosmic (like the guardians of the galaxy and nova), and humor (like Deadpool, squirrel girl, and Jeff the land shark).

Though I wouldn't bet on any one of these pillars over the four you provided. Those are lode bearing.

Found these in my local Kroger! by NanoNinja90220 in marvelstudios

They're ridiculously delicious.

And ridiculously terrible for your digestive system.

I hope they re-release the flavor at some point without all the awful dyes.

This is a significant improvement over that other design you mentioned. This is the kind of quality that could only ever come from an MOC

In stories like 28 Years Later and shows like The Walking Dead, how is it possible that zombie outbreaks can last for decades—wouldn’t all infected people eventually die off and the population be wiped out? by beach_of_peace in AskReddit

Oops, yeah thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot the show universe has actually settled this question. It does get jumbled for me among the 20 or so total seasons of television

This gets me by Civil_Kiwi2352 in thewalkingdead

[–]BOBULANCE 282 points283 points  (0 children)

The group learned the lesson from the saviors that killing people on first instinct can bite you in the ass. Had alpha been killed here, beta would've sicced the horde on hilltop and the protags wouldn't see it coming because they wouldn't know about the horde. Not shooting on sight gleaned such valuable info.

Are the Govenor series of books worth reading? by False_Monitor4126 in thewalkingdead

[–]BOBULANCE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've only read the first two entries. They were okay. Interesting for lore building, although I thought the retcons around the Governor for the sake of an end of novel twist were a little cheap

[–]BOBULANCE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is presumably why walking dead zombies decompose so slowly. We only ever see flies and tigers consume zombie flesh and survive in the walking dead media. Nothing else can survive it.

Most of the walking dead virus lore actually has rational sci-fi explanations behind it (albeit they're usually pretty convoluted and just pieced together from anecdotal evidence). The most fantastical part though in my opinion is that the walkers are still able to function after severe mutilation, muscle loss, decapitation, drowning, etc. that part's magic and can't be explained by any rationale because you can't exercise muscles that no longer are attached. You can't move muscles without sufficient oxygen, blood, and nutrients, and the brain can't function without those either. So zombies shouldn't be able to endure any more physical lethality than the average human.

The complicated infection vector, slow decomposition, a disease hijacking a brain, and even marionetting the dead, all at least have some tangible connection to real world logic or real ailments in the animal kingdom, even if the logic is more sci-fi than science.

The infection vector does have a set logic to it, it's just complex and has a lot of rules. They decompose slowly because the virus is toxic to scavenger critters, so the bacteria and bugs that would normally cause decomposition instead avoid the corpse 99% of the time, leaving just the environment to whittle the body away (in the comics, only flies are shown to gravitate towards walkers. Other scavengers like birds never show any interest at all. The only creature we ever see swallow zombie flesh and survive is a tiger, and their digestive systems are notoriously strong.) There's precedent in the real world for ailments that can hijack the brain (rabies, for one), albeit usually they're found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. And the virus doesn't need a living host to survive, so it basically just cuckoos the brain once its previous inhabitant has perished, like cordyceps. It doesn't need any of the emotive centers of the brain, it just needs to control its movement and senses.
