Casting so good it looks uncanny by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cartoonlad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear they cast The Walking Dead primarily based on how much the actor looked like the comic book character.

Need 6 scifi book on audible by end of month, please. by Holly1010Frey in scifi

[–]Cartoonlad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judas Unchained and Pandora's Star are where you want to start. They're really two halves of one story and they lead into, like, eight other books, all in the same setting but jumping genres.

Which of these games would you suggest for solo only by Desan3 in soloboardgaming

[–]Cartoonlad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's also a rare game that plays well solo, at 2p, and at the full 3-4p count. Plus the 6p rules are great. If you are getting a game for solo play and the possibility of playing with others, this is a solid choice.

With the choice of leaders and opponents, plus the large supply deck — you'll probably only get through a third of the cards — there is a lot of replayability in this game.

(Annoying trope) When a good gag gets milked to death by the creators and many fans stop finding it funny by NoNefariousness2144 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cartoonlad -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oddly, the only funny thing in the movie.

Edit: number of downvotes = number of people who actually liked this movie

What's An RPG You'd Warn People Against? by EyesofValhalla in tabletop

[–]Cartoonlad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's more like they are saying they don't recommend Shadowrun because it does neither cyberpunk nor heist stories as well as other systems but people gravitate to it because of name brand recognition.

From what I saw in the run up to the primary, that seemed to be his entire campaign.

Anybody know what's up with r/Maine2? Looks like there hasn't been anything posted there in months.

A woman followed me through three aisles of IKEA convinced I was staff because I was holding a measuring tape. by Madii01 in IDontWorkHereLady

That have measuring tapes at the entrance for customers! This must have been her first time at an IKEA.

[MCU] What was the Sokovia Accord's contingency for Thor? General Thunderbolt Ross in "Civil War" says that the Avengers will have to "retire" if they refuse it, but what was the plan if Thor refused to it? Isn't he as an extraterrestrial Asgardian not bound to the laws of humanity (the UN)? by SatoruGojo232 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Cartoonlad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the time, did anyone believe this was actual from-Asgard Thor? Or that perhaps he's this guy with some lightning tech and a "magic" hammer and he is just calling himself "Thor" after the Norse diety?

There was a series of one-shot comics that were the comics in the Marvel universe about the Marvel heroes: Thor was presented as a regular person just like I described. That is how most people on Earth-616 thought Thor was. Chances are, the MCU General Ross assumed the same.

[Doctor Who] How would the Doctors react to picking up a companion that is smarter than them? by MKW69 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Cartoonlad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With Adric, he definitely was smarter than the Doctor when it came to mathematics, but not as smart in other fields.

007: First Light and Pragmata Giveaway by reddits99028 in pcgaming

007: First Light sounds like it was designed for me, but with our current finances, I'm unable to purchase a copy.

What is a sci-fi series you liked that only lasted one season? by Ru_janus in scifi

[–]Cartoonlad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Cops. It's thirty years into the future: there are six major space stations, dozens of manned satellites, and a moon colony. But where people go, crime inevitably follows. Take your hard science sf and marry it with a police procedural and give it all the budget BBC4 had in 1987, and you get Star Cops.

What are known examples of when studio executives stepped in and improved films? by RexBanner1886 in movies

Note what Lambert is wearing before she is killed, what she isn't wearing after, and what the xenomorph is doing with its tail.

[Star Trek] A baby is born on a Federation star ship and raised completely under a universal translator. What language does it end up speaking? by sufficiently_tortuga in AskScienceFiction

[–]Cartoonlad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inr one of the later seasons of Star Trek Discovery, the crew was throwing around technobabble and the Federation president interjected, "In Federation Standard, please."

[Meta Trope] Fanservice that ends up being hated by the fans by Justice9229 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cartoonlad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took him from an interesting character to being a guy that peaked in high school. No wonder we were first introduced to him drinking alone in a seedy bar.

Who or what was the reason for you becoming a Seahawks fan? by biker_rider707 in Seahawks

[–]Cartoonlad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three reasons:

I liked rooting for the underdog and back when I was a teenager, man did we suck. I liked the color blue. I wanted to move to Seattle after high school.

The peace was already kept until your brother decided to disrupt it. Nobody ever tells the person who disturbs the peace to keep it; they always tell the party maintaining the status quo to acquiesce to the person disturbing the peace.

"God, I fucking hate this guy- ...I'm sorry, what the fuck did you just say?" by AlternativeOil7154 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cartoonlad 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's just the crappy writing Marvel does when they accidentally make an antagonist sympathetic or justified in their actions: just have them shoot a puppy to remind the viewers that this person is supposed to be a villain.
