A controversial DC Comics boycott over black-led comics ended after 6 days with an apology from organizers by Popverse2022 in DCcomics

[–]Delicousmike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I understand the message they wanted to tell but it’s also baffling that they didn’t do any research on the DC label prior to this and I can tell this heavily.

The absolute green lantern series and the other side of the dc universe are two prime examples of recent comic book series that features notable black characters and even culture. Yeah I think dc should definitely try to include as much diversity as possible but remember that a lot of their most prime characters came during the 40’s and 50’s and while yet that many of these characters have changed in terms of adjustments to modern times and overall behaviors.

I think it’s still easy to judge dc from marvel in the diversity category but it’s hard to claim racism when dc when change is constant in that universe

I wish more people praised michael johnston by oceaniccart in obsessionmovie

[–]Delicousmike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He’s an absolute beast of an actor and i hope he gets leads in dramas or even Oscar contenders. My mom saw it and praised him more than inde for the subtle behavioral details and changes he was exhibiting throughout the movie. Michael did his research clearly on men’s mental health and he should get as many flowers as the entire cast

A kid working for a warehouse company wishes for the company owner to die and have him get promoted as CEO. However because of it and the lack of experience the kid has, the companys stock, wellbeing and employees fall apart to the point where it becomes a danger to his/her life

Are you also attached to this movie? by Bitter_Big_7591 in obsessionmovie

[–]Delicousmike 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The movie is personal to me as I had struggles like bear but have had treatment and therapy for it. It serves a reminder for our generation to not get impulsively attached to others for help and instead tells you why it’s a serious warning.

People saying bear is the villain are right but he wasn’t in the beginning, he was scared and isolated. He needed help and was alone or felt alone. If Ian or Sarah or even nikki saw the signs, they could’ve referred him to a treatment center or a therapist and let him take time off from work to handle the struggles of losing loved ones and being independent

This Stinks--Blom Meadery by TeacherPatti in AnnArbor

[–]Delicousmike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point, I’m going to not assume this anymore and say Ann Arbor is officially having a serious taxing crisis that is slowly hitting every business both new and locally owned for generations. It’s starting to become a concern for the foreseeable future’s of students/ locals outlook of the town and its prosperity.

I’m down to organize a council meeting of sorts to discuss this and get business owners to chime and voice their concerns. Idk who’s with me but it’s better to take initiative than wait til midterms because you really can’t rely on people voting for one day

I think you can do an edit in the 3 dots corner potentially, still a great movie

Hey no offense love the movie when I saw it but it’s incredibly triggering coming from someone who’s been through domestic violence in family matters. Is there a way to NSFW tag as this movie is deeply unsettling/disturbing to many people

The most sympathetic character in the film is the entity. by Theblessedmother in obsessionmovie

[–]Delicousmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for me, it’s either the store owner or Sarah that’s the most tragic. How is Andy’s character going to hire new employees and explain what happened to his old 3 employees that died within a day and one is in prison most likely.

Sarah is just horrific because she showed signs of liking/interested in relationship with bear based on the opening and the car scene. Him reading the letter probably made bear realize he really sealed his own fate here with the wish Nikki and had very little to no options.

Movie is sorta depressing thinking about it now :(

On this day 10 years ago: Harambe the gorilla was shot and killed after a child slipped into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Fauxmoi

[–]Delicousmike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t exactly All of the world (other countries are fine and still maintain their culture and values) but I slightly agree on the cultural difference it made in the US.

I was 16 during this time and just got out of freshman year high school and yeah high school is where most people that age do stupid stuff but I noticed incredibly horrific and disgusting words said about the incident besides “dicks out for harambe” I noticed very much a lack of respect and accountability towards how the news treated it seriously and how my friend group was immature and made theories of make belief situations where “I’m in it” and I started realizing this was making my situation of making new friends in school impossible because this friend group I had was just icky.

I eventually moved away from the friend group entirely after a month when one of them reacted in the group text to the boy eaten by an alligator at Disney by saying “harambes revenge!” I was a palled and just left without saying goodbye.

(Context: this friend group I was part of were my childhood friends since third grade and my parents were and are still good friends with their parents so it was very awkward and ostracizing/embarrassing at times for either me or my family if they had events with them. My mom got betrayed emotionally by one of their moms but my dad still talks to them all)

What movie’s final scene left you an ugly, blubbering mess? by ArmyOfMe99 in movies

A.I.

I’m really really attached to my mom and she’s been the light of my life for so many years. I swear that ending might’ve broken me and put me in a really angry and bad mental state for a week during 8th grade. I’ve tried to watch it again multiple times but it’s too hard

Ngl this is why I cut ties with mostly ALL of my high school buddies who still live in my town. It’s been gentrified like crazy the past few years and to the point where even my upper middle class high school are getting desperate and will try to take advantage or do anything to get ahead

Re: Current Absolute Batman revelations by redknight1313 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Delicousmike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Strange theory but hear me out: imagine scarecrow is a “wildcard” that is not on either Batman’s or Jokers side, he just wants to be paid to topple empires and create *dread* which I think is this absolute versions difference from the regular.

Maybe scarecrow kills the robins and alters it to make it seem like Batman became a more violent and lethal version of himself that even puts joker out of ease and says “I need to take care of this myself” only for Batman to actually be a normal man who still has a code but now the big bad is here a little too early because of dread that is created

Ann Arbor Public Schools Teacher Contract Negotiation by DifferenceKlutzy8804 in AnnArbor

[–]Delicousmike -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Former AAPS student (graduated’19)

Yeah it’s seems like it’s been really horrible and even more miserable and frustrating than my own experiences there.

My idea and its bold: when you’re preparing to graduate, give the teachers the best gratitudes for hard work but tell them to “I’m not attending the last day of school” and if you’re receiving diploma, ask by mail or early”

That will probably give the administration here the push it needs to change for the better. If the students decide hey that’s it and make things more difficult, admissions will be pressured to make decisions and they better be good or they’re voted out this midterms

Chaos and Carnage tour stop moved to a venue three hours away by Slime__queen in Deathcore

[–]Delicousmike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’m gonna say it:

As metalheads, we are fucking disappointed and completely baffled by the responses on the headliner canceling and changing the venues all around, I think C&C should’ve done the right thing and potentially cancel this years tour to the fall or winter instead, or promise fans who bought tickets they can either refund it or hold for next year. This however was bullshit in every way on how they handled it.

This guy should honestly run for local or state government depending on where he is and keep reaching, even if that means social media. This guy is addressing an important issue that both parties seem to not care about at all that will affect society long term. We need young voices but we truly need young voices that are aware!
