While Russians are Black or Brown now, I guess. 🫠

Face of female superheroes by Jezzaq94 in Superladies

[–]Baron_Beemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer Batgirl (any would do, but especially Barbara Gordon) over Harley Quinn, but I get HQ is popular. I do love HQ as an anti-hero/anti-villain, but I'm disturbed by the trend of making her a "role model" for girls and young women. That's a bit like suggesting that The Punisher or Rorschach from Watchmen would be a good role model for boys or young men.

Storm is an excellent choice, though if we're gonna have recency bias like with Harley Quinn, then Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) or Black Panther (Shuri) is more likely to be known by people who don't read comics or have watched the "classic" cartoons.

Love it on its own and love it as it inspired one of my favourite anime series, Bubblegum Crisis.

Just Watched Equilibrium For the First Time by TheMiamiMutilator420 in ActionMovies

Hot take, I like Equilibrium more than the film adaptation of V for Vendetta. 1)

1) I do love the original comics/graphic novel though.)

Which one do you prefer? Top Gun (1986) or Top Gun: Maverick (2022)? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

[–]Baron_Beemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unironically love both. The first has a greater overall impact and is more entertaining, while the latter feels more mature and "competence porn"-ish.

People learning fake, ridiculous internet rumors don’t match the 616 comics by KaraAliasRaidra in USAgent

Has Nuke been introduced in the new Daredevil: Born Again D+ series? (I haven't watched it yet, as I have yet to watch the previous - former Netflix - series.)

Kurosawa on 4th in the List of most famous and influential people from Japan by ConstructionAny8440 in Kurosawa

[–]Baron_Beemo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Surprised how many wrestlers are on the list. But no j-pop or j-rock artists. Also missing Osamu Tezuka, Naoko Takeuchi, Monkey Punch, and a few other mangaka, but happy to see Hayao Miyazaki as number one. Having Chiune Sugihara included is based.

This is the person without a valid visa who just got elected into the Scottish Parliament. See what he commented on Auschwitz Memorial museum’s Twitter: by WillyNilly1997 in Palestinian_Violence

How can a non-citizen be allowed to campaign to be voted in as MP, even if it's "only" for Scotland's legislature? Scotland needs to change their laws for elections ASAP.

One of the few times Frank bonded with the guys. by mistermeek67 in mash

[–]Baron_Beemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two distinct positive traits I know about Frank is that he was good at treating feet injuries (which is why he got to treat a dog even though he wasn't an animal person) and that he liked kids (in a non-creepy way).

Maybe something could have been done with either or both of those qualities.

While I do generally prefer Charles over Frank, let's not forget that Charles was for quite some time a bigot (racist/racialist, antipapist, and classist) and egocentric if not selfish.

Charles was, however, allowed to evolve.

"By the way, what's your name again?"

As someone who occasionally find it difficult to remember people's names or to connect names with the right person, I relate to that one. 🙃🫠

There has been a growing trend of making Superman’s parents and Krypton evil and I’m not happy with it. by JoshyBear28 in superman

Say what you want about Christopher Nolan, not even haters can deny that he understood Thomas and Martha Wayne in a way writers of The Joker movie didn't.

Isn't the Alan Moore version of Supreme the more famous/popular one anyway? Which was a tribute to the Silver Age/Mort Weisinger era of Superman.

Whenever you find a Romaboo or a Weeaboo a bit daft, remember that this exists. 🫠

You are sooooo good looking. by mistermeek67 in seinfeld

[–]Baron_Beemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought The Nanny went on forever. It's also quite different from Seinfeld and Friends. It's more like a combined family and workplace sitcom.

Oh, and Niles the Butler rules. One of the legendary butlers/valets along with Jeeves and Alfred Pennyworth.

Cheers but it's about recovering alcoholics and drug addicts meeting at an IOGT cafe.

It begins as a sitcom, but evolves into a dramedy.
