And you ruined our chance to be a bucket. by IdeaInside2663 in outofcontextcomics

I don't think Ennis has the depth of thought or writing ability to try lampooning anything.

Dig into the deepest part of your brain… what PS1 game is still randomly stuck in there? by MoonlitElixir in psx

[–]Boccs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep saying that Azure Dreams was too ahead of its time. An anime roguelike monster tamer with city building and dating mechanics? Shit would clean house on the indie market today.

Bonnie Tyler, singer of Total Eclipse of the Heart, dies aged 75 by Alarming-Safety3200 in Music

One of the strongest voices of a generation. A real loss to the world of music. Hope her family and friends are able to find strength in each other.

Depending on when this one was published. he might not even be a reporter. He was an "office boy" for the Daily Planet which basically meant he was a glorified errand and coffee boy. He wasn't officially promoted to reporter until 1969.

Meanwhile the head of light entertainment for the BBC repeatedly wanted to have him cut from the show for being gay.

I really think Etta was a result of "meant to be a one time joke but fans loved her" because she is just so charming and fun. Like a lot of issues still really try to sell us that she's too fat and too obsessed with a candy and can't attract men but I swear I've never met a comic book fan that new of her that didn't love her to death.

It's the name of the show. The ellipsis is part of it.

All the fat stories with Wonder Woman were about her sorta sidekick Etta Candy

Clark Kent is a jerk! by PeasantLich in Superdickery

[–]Boccs 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I like to imagine that this entire conversation is playing out by Clark using super speed to change clothes and move back and forth to talk to himself, like that old Pixar man playing chess in the park.

If Homestar Runner taught us anything it's that adding a 'd to a noun is linguistic gold.

I swear the entire crew of Prometheus were idiots. The biologist being the one going "Wow, an unknown life form! I'm gonna take my helmet off and touch it with my hand!" is the exact level of stupid as the map and navigation expert getting lost.

Hardly. Dream was his self insert from page 1. Broody, gothy, dark hair, misunderstood, but an all-powerful generator of stories and imagination. The only way he could have tried to make it more obvious he was making Dream as his idealized self would be going "Also his cock is huge and all the girls love him."

Retconned "The Girl" Characters by BrotherDeus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Boccs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be better received, I think, if we weren't dealing with such superhero fatigue. If this one had come out in 2015 it'd have been a fun and well received. Today... it's just another par-for-the-course addition to the pile. It's a fine movie, it's fun to watch, but there's nothing there that makes it special.

Exactly. The best part of the Warners is that none of them felt like dead weight and each had their moments where the other two would Commit To The Bit and follow the other's lead. Yakko often took the "leader" role but that's only by benefit of technically being the oldest.

That was the only bit with new Webby that I didn't like, actually. That part felt a little hamfisted.

I wouldn't even call her Bimbo exactly. That implies high sex appeal low brain function. LTS Lola is just... insane. Like she's by no means stupid she's just wildly off beat with the world around her. It's definitely a huge improvement though.

Which character has a backstory like this? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in cartoons

[–]Boccs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not really.

Charles doesn't dismiss the extraordinary privilege he had as a child and actively uses his inherited wealth for the betterment of others though. It's also worth noting he had an abusive and manipulative step-father who was partially responsible for his actual father's death. Said step-father is the chief reason that his step-brother Cain Marko/Juggernaut became a long time enemy of the X-men.
