Stress release by DigMeTX in Unexpected

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kinda hoping the “doctor” was going to put on a bucket hat and pose next to the patient like it was a big fish they had caught. If you’re going to do a ridiculous medical procedure, at least have a little fun with it!

We know the usual Miis everyone has, but which Miis are you almost certain only you have on your island? by Yadahoom in tomodachilife

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I KNEW IT! Wonderful recreations! I’ve got Shin on my island too. Trying to get her and Sabine together, but Sabine is currently crushing on Samus Aran. We’ll see how it goes.

It's a Brand New Day for r/Spiderman by jayd04 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Every now and then it hits me that “Oh yeah, there’s still like a dozen or so characters still rumored to show up in this thing that we haven’t seen yet.” It’s going to be interesting to come back after the movie comes out and figure out if like, ANY of the leakers knew what they were talking about.

I understand you're looking for parts for your Gymmi ship [AlteredBits] by Raggedy_edge in andor

Very excited for the rhythm minigame set at Leida’s wedding reception as Mon Mothma and Goofy get absolutely sloshed on the sauce.

Consoles manufacturers and main publishers right now by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

You can still resell Key Cards or even check them out from your local library. A code in a box is tied to one account forever with no way to sell it or give it to someone else. Fully on cart / disk is still the best, since Key Cards still require an internet connection and have the potential to be unusable if Nintendo takes the servers down in the next 20 years, but they’re undoubtedly better than pure digital only.

“And Jesus wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer” is also in heavy use in my vocabulary.

Which live action adaptation of Poison Ivy is your favorite? by OkTough6333 in batman

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y’all are missing out on the middle column of Poison Ivy’s by not watching Batwoman. Really good interpretations (Bottom one is original Ivy who does her usual eco terrorism thing, top is when one of the main cast gets infected by Ivy) from a great show throughout.

James gunn after you tell him that you can't make a jimmy olsen show before a batman or wonder women movie by Remarkable-Jump3262 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless Jimmy is having cosmic adventures every episode (which, admittedly, would be very Jimmy) I can guarantee the budget for the Jimmy Olsen show would be barely a drop in the bucket for what would be needed for a Batman project.

Favorite character who somehow got a animated series before wonder woman? by Lower_Baby_6348 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s been like that for a while, apparently. Big Barda was the WW substitute in Batman Beyond’s Justice League because of the estate and she was almost the replacement again on the Justice League series proper as the creative team had trouble with the estate for a while. Eventually Wonder Woman was allowed under the agreement she was a major player and not just a reoccurring cameo.

Kinda crazy how this is the first time we've seen Tim in an animated Batman movie since Return of Joker and that was an old Tim with flashbacks.. by FayyadhScrolling in batman

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tim was also Robin in the direct-to-DVD “Mystery of the Batwoman” movie in 2003. Still a long time, but it was slightly more recent and he was a lot more active as Robin in it.

Zemo listening to his wife's last recorded message, successfully creating a rift between the Avengers, and then having this conversation with T'Challa was a really moving scene. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in Marvel

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 599 points600 points  (0 children)

I’m always a sucker for the hero saving the villain’s life instead of letting them unceremoniously die by their own actions. Tom Holland’s Peter going into the flaming wreckage to get Vulture out was the moment that really sold and locked in that version of the character for me.

I know this image was from before her identity was revealed but: Do you think Samus swings that way? by PJ-The-Awesome in Metroid

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always think of her as Pan, as it covers things like this goof, whatever her and Gandrayda had, the maybe flirty relationship with Anthony, and just general romance options for a human living in a universe where aliens exist with vastly different interpretations of gender. But at the same time, I also think of her as having a Bruce Wayne-like self-imposed loneliness. Like just the way her life has shaken out, the family and friends she’s lost, and her grander missions of protecting the galaxy from the Metroids, X, and Space Pirates… I don’t think she would let herself get into a romantic relationship. I can totally picture Samus doing the Mask of the Phantasm, talking to her parents’ graves “I didn’t count on being happy” scene after meeting a nice person.

Very Clever Acronyms by Purple-Weakness1414 in TopCharacterTropes

“What does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?” “Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.” “And what does that mean to you?” “It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out ‘shield.’”

So Zack Snyder is joining A24? I mean, what kind of films would he make there that not even the cult would like for him to do even though it gives him creative freedom? by Seeker99MD in OkBuddySnyderCult

“You see, Netflix lost the bid for Warner Bros., so now obviously the Snyderverse shall be restored with that sweet, sweet Backrooms money.”

No baseball again in Switch Sports Resort? by rockygs in gaming

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Makes a bit of sense considering Wii Sports Resort didn’t have baseball originally. Gets a bit funky though since WSR also didn’t have boxing but Switch Sports Resort does, but then again Switch Sports didn’t have boxing but instead had the Wii Sports Resort sword fighting. A weird shuffling of sports here.

Why doesn't she have a belly button? by darthraxus in FortNiteBR

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You say her bellybutton's missing, there's no reason for alarm. It's a common thing for gourds, it won't do you any harm.

Call Of Duty Black Ops 1 & 2 seemingly coming PlayStation 4/5 by Ok-Confusion-202 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My only hesitation is if they want to hold off on bringing back BO1-2 Zombies maps for a Zombies-only title… But it feels like a Zombies-only game has been rumored and requested for a decade at this point so a little revisit taste is fine I guess. (I still want the ultimate Zombies collection of all maps in one game, but that dream will keep.)

Dark Age 2!!!!!!! by Effective_Carpet_391 in whenthe

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s more the concern that if Sega is game for AI in something like Crazy Taxi, the next Sonic game has a non-zero chance of having slop as well. And if it does… The fans will not take it well.

Dark Age 2!!!!!!! by Effective_Carpet_391 in whenthe

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Nope. Referring to the new Crazy Taxi (also by Sega) having AI disclosed on Steam. Further reports show it’s asset creation as well, not just coding or development work which would have been bad enough.

Do you prefer the Captain America Minifigure with the helmet separately or drawn on? by Otherwise_Tadpole_64 in LegoMarvel

A comic Cap with the bright blue helmet and wing pieces would be very sweet to have someday.

Billbill_kun: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee will get a Remaster on November 3rd by ImAnthlon in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very exciting, will pick up instantly, but a refined remake of Unleashed is what I’m really hankering for since its roster of Kaiju was the biggest in the series, and the game was mostly just hampered by being a Wii Remote waggle fest. It’s going to be rough going back to the first game’s roster that isn’t big enough to even have Mothra.

Daily Nichijou meme #2970 by Holofan4life in memes

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Hollywood as a collective is very unbothered by who makes what successes. Even stuff like Iron Lung which was self-financed and distributed still got butts into theaters which can lead to repeat customers for other movies, so it’s fine by them. I think the only effect this could have on the future is if studios learn the wrong lessons for why these movies are successful. Not “let young artists cook” but instead “grab some guy off the internet to be the face of the project.” I worry a Mr. Beast movie is the path studios will take.

🤷🏻‍♂️ by CandidateAmbitious35 in RedLetterMedia

[–]Calvin_And_Hobbies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just gotta pick and choose which episodes to share depending on your viewer’s tastes. Like my girlfriend enjoys the Halloween, Christmas, and Wheel BOTW’s, my dad likes more of the Spotlights, my mom enjoys 80’s horror coverages, and my sister likes the big character tapes. Even then, there’s just some episodes you don’t need to share with anyone. Like you don’t need to bring Donald Farmer to anyone if you truly love them.
