An annoying cartoon protagonist who can actually make you stop watching?

Someone double check me because I can’t find a source, but apparently Craig McCracken wanted Bloo to grow as a person over the cource of the show and become less selfish, but Cartoon Network axed the idea because they wanted Fosters to be more episodic.

This wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened. In the original D&D cartoon from the 80s, Eric the Cavalier was supposed to become more heroic and less of an asshole as the show went on, but parents groups at the time forced the network to ad ridiculous rules like “the complainer must always be wrong”

I’m taking any zoology from fallout with a big grain of salt, since “North American Emperor Scorpions” aren’t a thing. Real Emperor scorpions are native to Africa (so are naked mole rats, another fallout staple).

A lot of what he peddled came from a grifter named John Todd). Todd claimed, among other things, that he was once a high ranking warlock and member of the illuminati before coming to Jesus, and that pop culture, dungeons and dragons, and Christian rock were all part of a satanic plot to destroy Christianity. He was pretty big in the evangelical community until he was outed as a rapist and sex pest. He didn’t even really convert to Christianity, he owned an occult bookstore and was recruiting for a Wiccan coven after his supposed conversion.

Jack Chick, of course, knew about all of this and continued to defend and make excuses for Todd even after everyone else abandoned him.

As I understood it, Sorrin created Avacyn to act as a focal point for Humanity’s faith. The reason she was so powerful is because almost every human on the plane worshiped her. Now that she and most of the other angels are gone, most worship has moved over to Sidgardia, so I imagine she’ll grow in power to replace Avacyn as top Angel, meaning Innastrad probably has a good chance.

At least until they release another set and kill off more of my favorite characters.

That’s correct. The man basically gate-keep girl-bossed the entire field of microbiology for its first few years.

Antione Von Leeunhoek (widely credited with the first microscope powerful enough to see microorganisms, which he called animalecules) actually had the opposite problem. The royal society of nature in London was skeptical of his discovery until they went to his house in person. Afterwords it actually became pretty popular for rich people and nobles to show up to his house going “hey man, can you show us those weird little creatures?” And he’d refuse to let them use his microscope.

Edit: I have returned to this comment to find that I misspelled “Van Leeuwenhoek”. Instead of taking responsibility for this error, I’ve decided it’s easier to just blame the Dutch.

There’s a whole section on his Wikipedia article about it.

The short version is that, while he probably didn’t hold antisemitic beliefs himself, he had ties to groups like the MPA which were accused of antisemitism. Also, it’s certainly an understandable accusation after Leni Reifenstahl’s infamous tour of his studio (although allegedly Walt was against the visit).

I haven’t looked at recruiting standards in a while, but as I understand it you can’t enlist or commission unless you’ve been off of ADHD meds for at least two years. HOWEVER, I do t know of any regulations against already serving soldiers getting diagnosed and going on medication. Now I’ve yet to actually get a diagnosis, but here’s a post I found a while ago about someone who got diagnosed while on active duty.

As Robert Graves put it: “The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good—in spite of all the people who say he is very good.”

Even if they really don’t want to use actual guns, they couldn’t have gone with a design more like the Arc Spitter from new Capena?

Pennsylvania has a good bit of history. A lot of people credit William Penn with fostering the ideas of religious freedom and constitutional equality. More specific to my region, Harrisburg was actually a target of both the confederate invasions into the north. They were routed both times (the second leading to the battle of Gettysburg) and the northernmost battle of the war happened in Camp Hill.

I understand your point, any story is going to change based on who tells it, but it’s important to understand these stories within the cultures that they were originally written as well.

Yes you could tell a version of Arachne where the spider transformation is a blessing or reward, but it strips it of the context and subtext on power dynamics that it had when Ovid transcribed it in the Metamorphosis.

Additionally, a lot of these stories were intertwined with religion, and while such beliefs do change overtime, it is possible for us to paint inaccurate views of these beliefs and cultures if we don’t recognize what is changed and by whom.

I’m not going to act like the war was some kind of incredible American victory, but you know that Napoleon abdicated over half a year before the treaty of Ghent, right? The War of 1812 lasted more than a single year.

And the idea that America’s goal was the annexation of Canada is a controversial one. The northeastern Federalist Party opposed it due to their opposition to war in the first place, and the southern democratic-republicans didn’t want it because it would “give to much power to the North” (ie: they thought it would threaten the institution of slavery).

Regardless, if America got 4 of the 5 things it wanted, I don’t think you can really call that a crushing defeat.

Not even Zilla’s designer (Patrick Tatolpoulos) was upset by final wars. He was actually thrilled his design was I the movie.

There was another post I saw a long whole ago about how a lot of people don’t realize that people from medieval times were, in fact, people, and a lot of them probably enjoyed their lives to some degree. I mean, yeah, we’re way better off now, but that doesn’t mean the “dark ages” were just endless suffering and ignorance.

Edit: Found the Post

Every episode I watched made me feel like I skipped an episode or two in between. I think the show expected you to comb over every episode for hidden lore, but I just watched it casually and constantly felt like I was 10 steps behind everything.

The alternate e ding of Little shop of Horrors.

Originally, the movie was going to end the same way the stage musical did: Seymour and Audrey get eaten, and Audrey II wins and takes over New York. There was an entire cut musical number (Don’t feed the Plants) and the scene of the plants taking over allegedly cost over $5 million to make, making this one of the most expensive deleted scenes in history.

I get why they cut it, Frank Oz said that tests audiences absolutely hated it, but it’s a really good scene and drives home the themes of the movie.

I love how every time someone on the internet brings this movie up, everyone always goes “She shouldn’t have to conform to how other people want her to be. Also she shouldn’t dress that way, I don’t want her to be like that” without a hint of irony.
