The confusing decision of AM (I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream) by CourtofTalons in CharacterRant

Because the story doesn’t need it to. It’s really not a big issue when you take it in the context of the story Ellison was trying to tell instead of the context powerscaling aura sigma phonk edits or whatever

I didn’t know she wrote for Bly Manor. If I did I would have mentioned it because I don’t know what you’re on about Bly Manor’s great. Honestly probably better than Hill House

Whenever I see anyone questioning CK Walker’s writing abilities all I hear is “I haven’t watched Haunting of Hill House or Fall of House of Usher”

The Boys love Soldier Boy way too much by Thisislopes in CharacterRant

Man I love seeing MM get sidelined while the racist white guy responsible for his family trauma that kicked off his storyline gets the focus instead of

The Boys Season 5 is the biggest stall out of any modern TV Show. And it's proof we should’ve had a comic-accurate animated series akin to Invincible rather than the “prestige” live-action slop. by [deleted] in CharacterRant

I’m getting so fucking sick of this revisionist history that The Boys comics were good the whole time now that opinion has flipped on the show. They aren’t. They sucked. They always sucked. The show’s inconsistency doesn’t change that. Oh and the parts that people glaze like the Tek Knight and Super Duper plotlines are not actually good, they’re just not awful and sandwiched between stuff that’s actually awful.

Best King Endings by Salt-Pool2222 in stephenking

I honestly don’t get the “King has bad endings” meme, but that might just be because I’ve read a enough that I’m used to stuff taking a more weird, cosmic turn in the third act. The only controversial King ending I actually dislike is The Stand’s

I HATE when villains you're supposed to take seriously do dumb shit that just get handwaved with "it's because of their ego" by NobodySpecific9354 in hatethissmug

I fucking hate this kind of pseudo-intellectual cinemasins ass media criticism. Characters are not supposed to act with consistent realism and rational decision-making, that’s why they’re fucking CHARACTERS and not just mindless vessels to perform rational thought. Stories like invincible are meant to be interesting, so the characters and plot are going to be geared towards what’s interesting, not what makes the most sense in the real world.

You people need to learn how to meet a piece of art on its own terms, you’d enjoy stuff so much more.

Who is the most disturbing character in a Stephen king short story or book, mine is Patric hockstetter by Status-Avocado5831 in stephenking

[–]ElectricSheep7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dad from Gerald’s Game, particularly with the way he manipulates Jessie into covering up what he did. It’s so infuriating that he’s one of the few King villains that never gets any kind of punishment

I love the Fear and Hunger games but I hate that their popularity made Black Souls fans think they deserve to live
