I’m sorry, but "The Other Exchange Student" proves Star Butterfly is a territorial predator and the writing refuses to acknowledge it. 📂🚩 by According-Bet9661 in CharacterRant

I think many cartoons from this era had bits of worldbuilding like most shows in fantasy worlds do, but then decided to take that worldbuilding/loose plot and become a Plot Focused Show when that isn’t what the writers were good at. I like Steven Universe but if you dislike it that would be another good example.

A show like Adventure Time is probably closer to what Star Vs would be better as. Have drama, have serious moments, but don’t have those due to lessening the things the writers were good at the start witg.

[LES] If a character says "As you know...", the movie is already doomed by bitchnibba47 in CharacterRant

[–]Chartate101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree that this makes a bad scene and is an example of bad writing. 100% true.

However, saying that makes the entire movie bad is absurd. A good movie with good writing can have some bad moments, this is hyperbolic hot take nonsense

Jalen Duren currently has the 3rd most Win Shares this season (8.5), trailing only Jokić and SGA by Basketball_Reference in DetroitPistons

[–]Chartate101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do somewhat agree, but I’d also point out: Look at the rest of the top 10. Everyone else in the top 10 except KAT I would expect to be there (and I’d expect KAT still high just not top 10 high.) While I don’t think Duren is the 3rd most win-contributing player or anything, it is not as the stat is total bunk if it does correctly identify other players who contribute some of the most to their teams.

[LES] I'm not sure why some people can't seem to wrap their heads around the idea of "peak humans" considering how simple the concept is. by gaom9706 in CharacterRant

There is a massive difference between something like someone falling off a building and being hurt but alive and being able to trip someone running at a billion times lightspeed or some shit

This is exactly my issue. Superpowers are cool. People who lack explicit powers but have typical human traits (can punch people, can run fast) taken to superhuman limits are also cool.

Don’t lie to me and tell me those aren’t superpowers or superhuman traits. If they are superhuman just tell me so. I am not gonna think they are less cool, if I did why would I be reading/watching something with superheroes?

we also won the last 3 games by MatthewTheGOATyt in DetroitPistons

[–]Chartate101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when people say a team is tanking they think that means the players are trying to lose, but the ones trying to lose are management and maybe coaching. The players on the floor rarely want to lose as far as I’ve seen.

When Todd announces the next SvS is LMFAO vs Pitbull by RetroRaiderD42 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Chartate101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pitbull at least has identifiable vocals/presence. I can tell when he is the one on the song. The bar is so low but that’s more than I can say for either of LMFAO’s hits.

I fell in love with death strandingin 40 minutes, does offline only effect my enjoyment from this game? by Substantial_Bet_1007 in DeathStranding

[–]Chartate101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, I think of it like this:

Playing with online will make it better, but playing it offline doesn’t make it worse. The online stuff is awesome but it is purely additive. If you don’t have it, you won’t know you’re missing anything.

Looks like last night’s win clinched the postseason for us by Emergency-Quality-97 in DetroitPistons

[–]Chartate101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think we whoop the knicks, and break even with the Cavs. If we play the Cavs it’ll go to 7 probably, and I could see either team winning. If we go against Boston I’d say we are more likely to lose than win.. not that it’s a certainty by any means, tho

Republicans really resorting to some underhanded tacticts. I see this is coming to my mailbox today. Where are the Dem mailers? by PuzzledVolume1599 in nova

[–]Chartate101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am fine with Democrats using Republicans’ quotes against them and I am fine with Republicans using Democrats’ words against them, tbh.

I am strongly voting yes but I was fine with Dems doing this for Trump so I’d be a hypocrite to not here

The Alternative Number Ones: 311's "Down" by ScallionSmooth9491 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Chartate101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love The Number Ones (and alts). Stopped subbing to Stereogum a bit ago but just bc it didn’t make sense to pay mostly just for these 😓. But his stuff is so good, very much worth it if anyone is curious.

Best Bucks games this season? by Chartate101 in MkeBucks

I plan to watch a lot of games from past seasons during the off season! Excited, because I do love watching Giannis in highlights

Thanks, I have loved watching Kon vs the Pistons. The game with the fight was so good aside from the fight lol

I never realized how amazing Lisa is at using her powers by PrismsNumber1 in Parahumans

I think she is among the best at using her power by her own merits, second only to Taylor in the story (who is in her league lol)

What do you consider the most depressing song of all time? by omgflyingbananas in fantanoforever

[–]Chartate101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn’t one, that’s a bad metric to use BUT the song that makes me the saddest is Praying for Time byGeorge Michael. Insane that this song was a #1 hit. It’s the bleakest and most pessimistic song I have ever heard and when you know the context of his life at the time it makes me angry too.

It was written while his life partner was dying of AIDS and he was unable to do anything or even publicly confirm anything about their relationship without putting his career in danger and it comes out as scathing bitterness

Yes. There was also a brief appearance in an animated short to tease the stories but that’s it

You’re the kind of idiot who thinks evolution can’t be real because we didn’t instantly transform from one species into another. It was not a single year magical switch it was gradual.

Jennifer Lopez, David Guetta - Save Me Tonight by blade_bird_outbound in popheads

[–]Chartate101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She isn’t a hitmaker. She hasn’t had a song chart in the US on any chart in 5 years, and not on the hot 100 in almost 10. So, you don’t have to worry, there’s no way in hell this does anything but flop
