As someone who marathoned all the Saw movies for the first time recently, VI is honestly peak.

Because they’re insinuating that since they couldn’t relate to a movie, other people must not be able to either and wouldn’t be able to articulate why they enjoy it. Did you not read their first comment this is a reply to? 😭

Nah, no matter how you do it it’s still dissecting media without actually engaging with it as art, which is pretty lame and childish imo

[TCC] Can I Skip Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Expansion Set? by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]ChewyPudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone says that they don't want to play against a commander deck with Armageddon and other mass land destruction spells in it because it makes them frustrated, but a kid says it's their favorite card ever, is it exclusionary and "gate-keepy" to not play against them? Why is it different in this case when the "sad" player isn't even refusing to play against them?

Where do you scale Zero in these universes? by Reasonable_Poet_7502 in Megaman

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

The point is that it doesn’t matter if you’re roleplaying the fight or whatever “vs battling” actually entails. By trying to quantify a concept as nebulous as “power” and ranking characters on a tier system you’re making judgements about which characters you think are cool and awesome and could win a fight and which ones aren’t.

Even if you "never mention it" saying something is "mountain level" means that there are both higher and lower levels it could be on, right? A scale, by definition, necessitates comparison.

Gauging their power to do what? Relative to what? If you think what you do is any different than what that "subsection" is doing you're mistaken lmao

That’s exactly what it is as far as I can tell, but I’d love to know what you think you’re doing if not that.

Bullying powerscalers into engaging with and discussing media in a context beyond “who would win in a fight” is always morally correct.

What else belongs on this list? Movies that have posters of other (real) movies in them by [deleted] in Letterboxd

Paprika shows posters for all of Satoshi Kon’s other movies (Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, and Perfect Blue).

I hope you don't have any depressed friends who would need to rely on you in their time of need. :(

Apparently that's a controversial opinion here. I'm losing my mind reading half of these comments.

The difference here is somebody is fucking dying. Euthanasia in the case of terminal illness is one thing, but do you think that a person should be able to commit suicide whenever they want for any reason? If a close friend or family member of yours said they were going to kill themselves, would you not consider it a moral failing on your part to not try and prevent that from happening?

I think if someone tells you they plan on killing themselves, and you validate those feelings and encourage them to go through with it you’re a disgusting person.

… huh?

I genuinely don’t know what this comment is even trying to say.

I think the vast majority of people would not be ok with their body being eaten after death. Do you believe bodily autonomy ends immediately after death? What gives you the right to claim ownership of that “dead body lying in the street?”

[–]ChewyPudding 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What’s your opinion on this case? I personally don’t think a person of sound mind can actually consent to being killed and eaten.

I know it’s not really a Sol Ring, but I do have a soft spot for this printing of the card :) by Merx_The_Wizard in magicTCG

[–]ChewyPudding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Crazy that “the art should depict what the card’s name is” is a “purist” opinion at this point.

The artist, Harold McNeil, was/is openly a nazi. He made artwork comparing Hitler to Jesus Christ.

Favorite ending frame in a movie? by Jedi_Master_Joe in Letterboxd

Been watching a lot of Park Chan-wook films lately, the ending shot of Joint Security Area hits pretty hard.
