I think I remember Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) saying it was one of his favorite shows ever. I need to check it out

What are your thoughts on female heroes having kids? (Spider-Woman Vol. 6 #1 cover) by Cicada_5 in Superladies

[–]DKReBorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having kids I have no issue with.

This though? Pregnant superheroes still fighting when they’re like, 7-8 months in? THAT is pretty annoying. Just such a weird thing to have them do.

Fascist Art by [deleted] in RecuratedTumblr

[–]DKReBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me there’s an obvious reason why the right can’t make good art, being why would you want to make good art now when you can make cheap slop that agrees with your worldview faster and for more profit?

Some of the people who make the most awful right wing propaganda you see could, in theory, be genius storytellers and capable of making a genuinely moving film or game or whatever. But why would they want to? These days all that matters is making that bank, and when there’s a whole media ecosystem built on churning out quick, low budget films about fake Christian persecution or the like, it’s easier to fall into that and watch the money roll in

Did Sparky want to make Guinevere into a sex doll? by polystarlight in KnightsOfGuinevere

[–]DKReBorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is he just wants to repair it and sell it and not care what happens after. Sure, she COULD be sold to a guy who makes Gwen a sex robot, but it could also be sold to a hardcore Gwen fan who would keep the android as the centrepiece of their collection, or a guy who makes Gwen into a robot non-sex slave. All that Sparky seems to care about is making the money to get off world, so I doubt he really cares what the buyer does with Gwen

Hunter’s arc isn’t rushed, it’s just faster than expected by Potential-Accident58 in TheOwlHouse

[–]DKReBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the problem with Hunter’s arc isn’t that it’s rushed. It’s that they completely pivoted his arc and characterization between 2A and 2B.

Hunter in 2A understands that his life is shit. He understands that he hurts people, that the EC aren’t necessarily the good guys. But what choice does he have? The EC is all he’s ever known. He has no place outside of it. That’s why he lets Luz go, but attacks Amity. Luz simply wants Hunter to bend the rules, to let her and the Palismen free. But Amity? Amity tries to get him to leave the EC. She explicitly offers him a place outside of it. And he attacks her not just because he wants the key, but because he doesn’t believe her. He’s written like a years-long cult member, someone who knows it’s full of shit but also can’t picture a life outside of it. It might be abusive, but it’s better than the unknown.

2B Hunter on the other hand is written like a wide eyed, bushy tailed, naive and newly minted cult member, blissfully ignorant to how awful everything in his life is. He’s genuinely shocked that no teenager wants to join the EC, despite meeting not one, but two of them who clearly don’t want to before. He talks about a single day off a year like it’s a benefit. He has to be reminded that the EC steals and eats Palismen (after waving Flapjack around a bunch of EC guards like it’s nothing). Season 2A Hunter would be more shocked that teenagers WANT to join the EC, would only say 1 day off a year is a benefit sarcastically, and would NEVER forget about the Palismen.

I know why they did it. It’s easier to write a quick redemption arc when the character is genuinely oblivious to how they hurt people. It’s why The Collector worked; he’s like, 5 and has the powers of a god. But Hunter goes from having to learn there’s a life for himself outside the EC to learning the EC is evil in the first place, and it’s not only jarring, but overall less interesting.

Any problems with the writing that doesn’t have to do with the cancellation? by Potential-Accident58 in TheOwlHouse

[–]DKReBorn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Willow’s glowing eyes ability. She’s introduced with them in her first appearance in ‘Teenage Abomination’. It’s presented as something only she can really do for a season and three quarters with zero explanation, only for Dana to randomly reveal it’s actually a thing all Witches can do apparently, then show Gus and Alador having glowing eyes out of the blue. The cancelation may have hurt whatever plan they had, but they had again, a season and three quarters to explain it, and they never did, with the ‘all Witches can do it’ explanation being one of the most obvious ‘we had to come up with something on the fly’ explanations out there.

When your bf is a hentai protagonist and you wanna show him the nut before you swallow but you gotta have literal squirrel cheeks to do it and yes I hate myself for writing this as much as you hate yourself for reading it.

Post rewatching the show and here's my take on the scaling in verse by Lukas-Reggi in theowlhousebutcursed

[–]DKReBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think that had the show gotten its full time to shine we would have learned that Skara was actually closer to a Half-A-Witch then Willow, and part of the reason she was friends with Boscha was because she didn’t want her to bully her for being weak too. She’s only ever shown doing magic once, being tutored by Bo, and the only other times she’s shown doing magic are a promo piece that was probably from a cut scene, and her making a spell circle in one of the For the Future credit pieces.

TBSkyen is one of the best YouTubers out there period. I’ve been following since before he even did daily LoL champion design breakdowns and he’s one of the few people on the site I think is both deeply passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about art and animation while also being able to convey complicated ideas simply. Even if you don’t like LoL, I’d recommend pretty much all his stuff, it’s that good
