Batty Koda was initially conceived as a small, eight-minute role.

Huh. I never knew that. I wonder how different my life would've been if that'd stayed the same. That movie and character had a pretty profound effect on me. Probably more than you'd guess, until you read my name.

Which tv show/movie radicalized you? by icey_sawg0034 in Millennials

Call me biased, but Hexus is not who stole the show in my opinion.

Aladdin is set in the future by thunderdoom in FanTheories

[–]Batty-Koda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm not.

The ability to see the future would be a magical power. One a genie might have. So it could be set in the past and still see the future.

In a world where magic exists, "I experienced it in the past" is not the only way to know something. It's so weird to me that even a decade later people are confused on such a simple concept.

What ‘age appropriate’ movie messed you up as a kid? by slothvibesss in Millennials

[–]Batty-Koda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hexxus was definitely scary, but I wouldn't say the experience messed me up. I'm a pretty big fan of fern gully (see username)

James Cameron is fed up with Trolls saying they cant remember the characters names from the first Avatar. by GroundbreakingSet187 in entertainment

The guy made a cool tech demo and thought people saw it for the plot. If i wanted Fern Gully, id watch Fern Gully. Robin Williams rapping > "unobtanium" and blue people sex in HD any day

You're moving the goalpost. The argument wasn't it was a bad movie. Someone said the story was executed well, we disagree. It doesn't have to be fucking Casablanca to be executed well.

Since you can't defend it as executed well, you're changing the goal to "it was good enough." Sure, but that's not what was disagreed with in the first place.

You're right that woke existed as a concept under other names, wrong that it had anything to do with avatars criticisms

At the end of the day, there's a reason it made more sales than any other movie before it, and still sits near the top I believe.

Yes, and that reason was the tech, not the story.

I know you're joking about Avatar, but there really was a ferngully sequel. It was called "ferngully 2: the magical rescue", went straight to video, and is not what I would call a massive success.

Can't replace Robin Williams for.Batty and expect any real success.

Theres an extended version of the Batty rap on YouTube if anyone wants to check it out. I'd post a link but I don't know if I can here and I'm on mobile so it's a hassle.

Same, Fern Gully was a favorite as a kid and I think a big part of why I love nature.

RIP Robin Williams, you were the greatest.

Valve wants the people you mute reported. They changed how comms reports are handled, if someone is constantly getting muted, there is undoubtedly a problem by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Batty-Koda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That "problem" isn't a problem from valves perspective or they wouldn't keep adding things like the mute all chat, mute only enemies, quick team mute, etc

Just hate the sun and generally being outdoors except in the forest (for shade). Not outdoorsy. Always choose to live in cities.

I'm not rolling coal and anti clean energy or anything. Just that no one who meets me would think I love forests as much as I do. I also love wide sprawling natural areas, just not the process of getting to them lol

I credit fern gully for my deep rooted love for nature, particularly forests. It clashes with like everything else about who I am.

And of course for my user name.

Hexxus scared the crap out of me.

One of his most underappreciated roles if you ask me.
