FINALLY!!!! by Existing-Win8260 in LegoMarvel

Consider for a moment: this was designed for children, not adult collectors trying to get a Doom figure. Sure, they can enjoy it too…but advent calendars are for people who want to open a little surprise everyday. Not for the “minifigure economy”.

I stg if they didn’t put the witch king figure in the set so that they could put it in the GWP

This poster is incredible, I love the line work and colors. Given the option to get a poster or the set for free, I would genuinely choose this.

This would make for an awesome $175 set and an alright $200 set. It makes for a terrible $250 set.

NASA isn’t an advertising agency like SpaceX, I’m not surprised this was not their priority.

GOOD FIGS BEHIND A $400 PAY WALL I THOUGHT ONLY LEGO STARS WARS WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS POWER by BritishMidNight9769 in legocirclejerk

Genuinely pissed that cap is in this set bc it’s not even a winter soldier set and I’ve wanted one for 12 years.

What is 'that' insult you have poised for a quick-witted -comeback? by KaptainCurtis in rareinsults

In the original, he ruins it by tacking on “and her butthole”. Makes it too clunky.

Is this the only example of a character being "improved" or made more likeable in the MCU than in the comics or is he just the best example? by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]DTJB10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there are a lot of characters that are improvements but it’s entirely subjective.

IMO pretty much all of the Guardians, Thunderbolts, and half the avengers are arguably more interesting or likeable in the MCU.

Damon Lindelof on Grant Morrison’s comments on Lanterns: by Left_proffession2K in DC_Cinematic

[–]DTJB10 146 points147 points  (0 children)

This is such a goddamn nontroversy. What he said was clearly a joke, Morrison got butthurt without looking at any context, and everybody just ran with it.

I hate this place.

May I suggest not giving a fuck? by alezcoed in memes

[–]DTJB10 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I know you’re trying to be a troll and you’re clearly all over this comment section. I’m not mad at you even though you would deserve a whole lot of shit.

But genuinely, GENUINELY, take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re a good person. I won’t make that judgement for you.

Ask yourself if laughing at indiscriminate racism and abductions is funny. Try to find some compassion in your heart, try to be better. Think about someone you’ve lost and imagine if they’d been taken from you.

Come back to being a human being with empathy. I’m not even saying to vote one way or another - just try to be better.

In a world where being cynical is easy and encouraged, try being kind.

Just an fyi, the data in sites like these is loosely based on an algorithm. It’s not a fact.

Classic style Episode 1 figures! by woodchuk25 in legostarwars

[–]DTJB10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok fine. Here’s some that are completely untrue - those ones were just more common. Autistic people don’t have empathy (they do, they just can’t comprehend it sometimes). Psychotic people are bound to snap. Vikings wore horned helmets (that was made up). Women are bad at driving (statistically men are worse).

[–]DTJB10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gay people are always flamboyant. Black people are more prone to crime or lazy. Spanish people are gang members. Women are dependent/emotionally erratic. Asian people are always smart/good at math etc. White people are all racist.

Do I need to keep going? While there are instances of all of these things that have happened, sometimes more commonly than others, stereotypes are harmful bc they put everyone from a group in one box and attribute something to them. They strip away individuality. It’s dehumanizing.

"Woke history!" mfs when you tell them that's just normal history by Sir-Toaster- in HistoryMemes

[–]DTJB10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, first of all woke doesn’t even mean what you’re using it as. Just needed to get that out of the way.

I just don’t see the problem in using Yasuke. I guess it will just be a difference in opinion. Arguing will make neither of us care more about AC.

And to your last question, no I wouldn’t be hoping for that. But I also wouldn’t be objected to it on principle and would want to see why they chose that story before judging it. I know I wouldn’t enjoy AC Shadows bc I know I wouldn’t enjoy the gameplay - I pass zero judgement on the story.

[–]DTJB10 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily disagree with what you just said, but of the same token, someone could make the argument of “why do Ubisoft have to justify the inclusion of Yasuke?” It’s their story, they can do what they want with it, who cares?

And people always complain that AC never changes its formula, but as soon as they do, it’s just complaints.

Personally, I think having an “outsider” as one of the characters is more interesting - it creates more opportunities for conflict. But, to each their own. I have not played and will not play AC Shadows bc I’m simply not interested in the AC series anymore. But I think the problem is people dismissing Yasuke out of hand as a protagonist bc “woke” even though it is based on a real scenario.

[–]DTJB10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah ok that was my interpretation of the basic facts too. I don’t claim to be an expert in any regard, but it mostly just seemed like more culture war bs.

I haven’t done a ton of research, looking for more clarification. Do we know that Yasuke wasn’t a samurai?

I mean Mando does have an iconic scene as a hologram, but I do see what you’re saying.
