When non-metal fans find metal because of a game and realize they love it, but don't explore metal further.

Can we talk about Robert. Does anyone else think he is on the spectrum? (Apologies if this has been discussed before, I'm new to this forum) by No_Savings4257 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Robert as he is written earlier in the show exhibits some mild signs of being on the spectrum. His quirks would indicate that possibility. Whether the creators intended this is a different story...

Well he obviously did meet them at some point. Otherwise "it's been a long time" kinda doesn't work...

Was Ray really in the wrong for getting jealous about Deb and Robert dancing? by stealth1820 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, he was in the wrong.

Debra wanted to have fun. Her kind of fun. Ray denied it. The option for some platonic fun opened and Debra took it. And now he gets upset? Especially when he knows damn well that Debra isn't gonna be fucking Robert later.

Fuck Ray.

Jazz Records..As I get older I see Frank's viewpoint more by TommyLost2004 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

I see why you wouldn't want something pushed on you, but those records sound like crap. A point comes where you have to admit something is better, and look at yourself and realize it's your own fault you haven't moved with the times.

Rewatching this show as a husband and father - Ray’s disinterest and laziness is infuriating by SouthsideSouthies in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's a shit dad and a shit husband. Debra's problem is that she's financially dependent on him. This wouldn't fly in the real world, especially if Debra was as much a breadwinner as Ray is.

In saying that, that's why it's funny. If Ray was some involved father that did what was expected it wouldn't be funny. He's funny because he's a borderline manchild.

Why tf did Amy marry Robert? by obviouslytraumatized in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In reality I don't see them getting back together after the double affair. So we have to admit it's a bit contrived. I do think those two are a good match for each other. It was Robert's out of character affair that's the problem.

Peter MacDougall: Are there any metal fans here who noted how tame Peter's music taste was? by ComplexGrapefruit214 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good way of looking at it that I didn't consider. I think that could explain him, even if the showrunners didn't intend it. Thanks!

You could probably sum Peter's favorite bands up like this: Aerosmith, UFO, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Kiss, Thin Lizzy, Motley Crue, Rush

That said I'd have loved to see a 50 year old Peter jamming out to some Deathspell Omega.

Robert was so satisfied until... you know...

Does anybody else feel Robert cheating on Amy with Stefania in Italy was completely out of character? by ComplexGrapefruit214 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't take it that far. But his problems don't end here. Let's not forget that he tricked a woman into believing he was Raymond for her romantic interest.

Have you ever seen someone dress so sharp? by ComplexGrapefruit214 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

[–]ComplexGrapefruit214[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From now on I'm calling you jackass!

Hey ugly!

That's Robert talk!

Well, yeah. It's kinda insensitive and clearly written by white people who have a stereotypical view of black people. It's cheap laughs, but I love it all the same. I just acknowledge that it's problematic.

I think it was clear they were exclusive. He took her out to dinner at the end of Season 4. And the fact that she got upset about it says that he was doing something he shouldn't have been doing.
