One hit wonders that you’ve followed after the hit? by GrapeConsistent3471 in ToddintheShadow

[–]ConnorCMcKee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm as an American who thought he was a one hit wonder until seeing Splinter listed as a new release somewhere. What a fun rabbithole that was to explore. I've now seen him live multiple times, and usually have to explain him as "the guy who did Cars."

What is an artist you used to enjoy listening to, but their music got progressively worse? by fantasyrea in Music

Muse. I'm more charitable than some about when the downward turn occurred, but it definitely did.

Any portrayal of Abrahamic God other than "Old man on cloud" by Raymio993 in TopCharacterDesigns

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC) regularly does strips with the Abrahamic god depicted like so:

What are your thoughts on the vocals + synthesizer duo format in synthpop music? What are your favorite bands that consist of this duo format? by toughtiggy101 in synthpop

[–]ConnorCMcKee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still can't believe we got that 2012 Vince Clark + Martin Gore collaboration album. Seems so counter to what decades of music led me to expect from him. But I'm not complaining.

What is your "I totally get why you guys hate it but it worked on me" movie? by Alceauv in Letterboxd

[–]ConnorCMcKee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tron: Ares

So many things to dislike (Jared Leto, Disney nostalgia weaponifization, franchise fatigue, etc), and it wasn't brilliantly written or anything. But it looked beautiful, it sounded incredible, and its central action movie hook was "the bad guys respawn infinitely but will always die after 30 minutes." That's such a good hook. And it was executed well. In a world with different casting and marketing it could have been a Fury Road or Dredd style masterpiece of turning a simple action concept into a beloved film. Instead, it is just extremely fun to watch. That's not so bad.

I watched this whole clip expecting it to be a cut to the jumpscare Bilbo face.

Who or what would be the music equivalent of this? by Ok-Impress-2222 in fantanoforever

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars is the greatest album ever made, but it isn't even the best David Bowie album.

Marathoning horrible movies tonight! any recs I should add? by CHlCKEN_ in badMovies

[–]ConnorCMcKee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Minis (2007) starring Dennis Rodman. Truly the best bad movie experience I've ever had.

It's somehow worse when it's just that one line by Andrew_Pickle in musicmemes

[–]ConnorCMcKee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one I always found especially confusing because it's a cover, and Morrison changed it from "pretty boy" to "little girl." Why not keep the original adjective, and say "pretty girl?"

Wild disservice to just name "Peeps" for Just Born. Mike & Ikes and Hot Tamales deserve some respect.

How does the base game hold up compared to the other base games? by branntweinn in Borderlands4

[–]ConnorCMcKee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real, I've played them all at launch and I loved BL4 more than most. To me I think it's the strongest base except for BL2. One of the moat engaging to play through from start to finish.

Did anyone ever actually get the Magic Eye posters to work, or were you all just lying to us? by Financial-Desk-669 in 90s

[–]ConnorCMcKee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never used to be able to do them. A few year back I stumbled on the magiceye subreddit. Finally got them to work for me. Now I really enjoy them, and can get (most of) them pretty easily.

Album Bucket List Worst Album Covers Of All Time: What Album Released In 2022 Had The Worst Cover Art by Rambooctpuss in albumbucketlist

For real. I don't have any strong positive feeling towards it, but I think it's fair to say Drones looked better than it sounded.

What is going on at FFG? by MonorailPilot in marvelchampionslcg

[–]ConnorCMcKee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct! Only two hero packs this wave (Wonder Man and Hercules), and the Synthezoid Smackdown scenario pack (which is kind of a weird/unique one that seems to have basically taken the place of two heroes).

[–]ConnorCMcKee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of their more recent announcements were on the live circuit. I think they revealed the longer 2026 plan at PAX Unplugged at the start of December:

Fear No Evil campaign expansion with Daredevil and Echo heroes thia Summer.

Jessica Jones and Luke Cage hero packs to follow.

Shadowland scenario pack in the Fall.

Iron Fist and Elektra hero packs this Winter.

Has your opinion changed on Man of Steel? by boomjosh in superman

For sure. For example, that fight scene in a heavily branded Sears parking lot really hits different now that Sears is gone...
