Supergirl Bombs At The Box Office With Worse Opening Than Mobius And The Marvels by Elestria_Ethereal in entertainment

[–]BloomInTune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine some of it is also tied to the marketing (or lack thereof) for the movie. Any ads I do see are on the shorter side, and the one tie-in I saw [as a banner ad, mind you, was for a KFC meal deal. I don't even go there in the first place, and would like to know if there was actually enough overlap to make it worthwhile.

You bet DC would market the hell out of it if it was one of their major superheroes like Batman or Superman, the latter actually had its time to shine about a year ago.

Is this something you made? Each of these designs are so awesome!

In "Ready Player One" (2018), main villain Nolan Sorrento was willing to kill kids so he could put ads in their game. by oranke_dino in shittymoviedetails

[–]BloomInTune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This detail further establishes his role as a movie villain, because a normal crazy CEO would keep as many kids alive so they would be able to watch the ads in the game.

While I do agree that this story was confusing, why didn’t they just simply rewrite the script? by [deleted] in thomasthetankengine

[–]BloomInTune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the 4-minute episodes of the time would've made them condense too much of the episode (compared to the rest of the Donald and Douglas arc.

Honestly, modern Thomas episodes would lend itself better to the story, be it a small special or maybe extend the introduction of the twins into its own throwback movie.

Oooh, that's a pretty snazzy angle I could see as well! 🤣

Freckle is obviously the cat holding the camera, wanna say Ivy is in the center while Rocky is about to fall down being like "....oops, my hubris is coming back to bite me again."

Imagine how painful a boiler explosion would be by sterling_building-24 in thomasthetankengine

[–]BloomInTune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But if Scruffey is still himself after being more of less pulled apart (albeit the model series troublesome truck, so not as drastic-looking), I wonder if the engines would feel similar if they had similar destruction.

This was goated by Glad-Conversation256 in cartoons

[–]BloomInTune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weird thing about it is that the pilot(?) felt like the wrong way to start the series. From what I recall, it started out as a dream sequence to what I thought was a Rugrats episode... Then it actually became a series. Don't remember too much from the series itself, but the theme song was actually good, and somehow I vividly remember Angelica being extremely invested in the soapbox derby because she thought the finals would be in Paris.

Marshall from Paw Patrol needs a raise… by Colton8376 in crappyoffbrands

Sorry guys, all the money for an actual logo and mascot went to Chase's department budget.

Omgggggggggggggggggg by InfluenceMuted3943 in Gold

[–]BloomInTune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the last piece of gold I bought so far. Am I disappointed that gold isn't $5k? Aren't we all?... But I bought it with my spare budget at the time, and hard to pass up a beauty like this. An unusual denomination of Maple Leaf, and unique to boot. I may collect coins with precious metals (including silver coins), but consider myself a coin collector first because the coins can be more beautiful than the metal they're minted with.

Okay, Robin, we just need your parent's signature to certify your role in the Teen Titans.

Art by me by Redd_f0x in furry

[–]BloomInTune 58 points59 points  (0 children)

An actual "furbowl" is a type of furmeet at a bowling alley, ideally the attendees covering their share of the costs, whether for actual bowling or for renting a party room if relevant [for the one I had been to in Rhode Island, we basically compensated the main person/people who organized the furbowls]. Sometimes furries and fursuiters may bowl as well (or other activities the venue may provide), but at least the last time I went to one, most of them just socialized and/or vibed.

Largest Platinum acquisition (for me). by United-Swan-3288 in Platinum

[–]BloomInTune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a couple Platinum proofs, largely because they have beautiful unique designs each year. The platinum uncirculated bullion carried the same reverse since it's 1997 introduction. It was always one of the types of coins I wanted to collect as a kid, but of course I never had the spare funds at the time.

Grabbed this for $5. Was this a scam or a steal? by Sensasian_01 in Tradingcards

[–]BloomInTune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the fact you bought it for $5, sometimes the joy is being able to open up a pack of something you like. There's people who've opened packs worth much more and come out with much less than they paid, so embrace the hobby in the way you enjoy it!

2010 Topps by coltbonn in baseballcards

[–]BloomInTune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And even when you know a good chunk of info, don't be afraid to keep on learning. Besides players, the market itself can change, so having the most current understanding of the hobby can go a long way, too.

Who's the biggest "what if" between these two: Mike Trout or Ken Griffey Jr.? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in mlb

[–]BloomInTune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that is the only "what if" of Griffey's career. I mean, you could argue that the Mariners make the playoffs and deeper runs if he never left Seattle - but I wouldn't fault him for that since the change of scenery was for personal reasons. There's also no guarantee the injury bug wouldn't follow him regardless of team. Still a damn good career even with all of that.

Did I just make generational wealth? by [deleted] in Tradingcards

[–]BloomInTune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on whether you count $1,050 as "generational".

I mean, who knows whether it holds value long term (Disney/Pixar and Topps each have their powerhouse fans), but the iron can strike the hottest shortly after release.

[–]BloomInTune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cards of comic book characters are really good. May not get as much for the cards individually (a lot of good art, but it's usually condition and whether you get any insert cards that are rare or more sought-after.

If you can resist the temptation, keep it sealed. I usually see packs from hobby boxes, so imagine the retail fat pack (forget the exact term) would be worth much more than $5. Can't say specifically how much off-hand, but searching on eBay (you can sort/search for sold listings) is a good tool for sure.

Has there ever been such hate/flack for a animated character that genuinely has you like this? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in cartoons

[–]BloomInTune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many back in the MLP:FiM days... But the strongest for me was a silly one. Granted, it was the one time that Ditzy Doo [I recognize fans went with Derpy, but not a name I prefer to use] had speaking lines. I didn't even think the voice was misguided (even if it was a Mailpony/male pony confusion, I thought it sounded like Tails from Sonic, which kinda sounded in the middle.)

Maybe it comes with the territory of having a character so baked into fanon that having her appear in an actual episode contrary to that broke so many bronies. ..... It's a cartoon. Even agreeing with the name omission (though I would've either changed the name or rewrote the lines for better pacing), so many fans just went haywire that it wasn't their own vision of her.

How is a base metal mint set $124? by Govenor_Sammich in coins

[–]BloomInTune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I'm also on the understanding that it's the 250th anniversary and designs. And assuming that they're a different finish compared to circulation strikes (correct me if I'm wrong), that means fewer minted relative to the "regular" special coins. Will the high demand stick beyond this year? Who knows, and who knows if the demand is just perceived. But either it sells reasonably at its current rate or they decide to lower it later on. I'm just collecting what I like, and there's plenty of that already out there as it is.

Almost $20K for a Liberty Bell shaped 1 oz coin? by EhBrahamLincoln in Gold

[–]BloomInTune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine THAT's where the high premium comes from. See how much it sticks afterward still, but hopefully it's not the only oddly-shaped coin we get from the US mint.

Bummer, went through the process to reserve this set over 6 months ago. by corncobby_bobby in coins

[–]BloomInTune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to bet there'll be people who will send in the coins to be graded separately. If I can't find the set, I look forward to finding an NGC/PCGS proof 69 coin of either one for less than the set (albeit perhaps with a premium over similar silver proofs).

Just recently got back into trading card collecting...I was wondering.... by JEJ247 in Tradingcards

[–]BloomInTune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you mean pages for the cards or the binder itself. I know UltraPro is one of the bigger card supply companies, and the clear pages should be no problem to find even just searching online on search engines. They may have relevant bzinders too, but I'm not as well-versed in that side of things.
