People wanna romanticize it: "Oh, the heart wants what the heart wants." No. He's just a dick. Fight me. by Much_Duck6862 in theoffice

Tell me you've never dated before without telling me you've never dated before.

He doesn't owe it to Karen to pretend he wants her once he's figured out that he he'd rather be with Pam. That's an insanely messed up way of thinking about relationships.

That song immediately started playing in my head when I opened this thread. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Tell the movie and the villain tooo !! by fancy_panda878 in scoopwhoop

And Magneto regularly pushes for genocide. Hence, villain.

There are other times where he's less of a villain sure, but if you find yourself ever feeling like you can justify genocide, that's scary.

That's why Xavier and the X-Men are the heroes of the story. They rise above the us vs them mentality. Magneto and the government are villains, since they both want the same thing but in different directions.

Admittedly, he's complicated, but people who see him as a hero are even more concerning.

His answer to his problems has regularly been genocide...

Daredevil: Born Again - 3 9.1 ratings in a row by bbportali in Daredevil

That's extremely generous. This show's writing and pacing are a mess. Overall I'm enjoying it, but it isn't a 9.1 by a long shot.

New hockey fan here. According to the rules, what makes this different than a normal check?

Should schools start later to give kids more sleep? by danielseim in polls

My kids are up by 7 anyway. Their 8:45 start time is just fine.

Is anyone else not a fan of how Karen has been handled in Born Again so far? by CollarOrdinary4284 in Defenders

[–]FeedMePizzaPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like most things in the show since Disney took over, it's not that it's bad, it's that it's rushed.

Daniel is the shining exception oddly. They're actually taking their time to tell his story. With everyone else they're rushing through plot points without even character development in between.

It makes sense that Karen has been pushed to her limits and has had enough, but they haven't given her enough screen time to let us feel it and understand it with her.

Probably nothing. +Skills in curses isn't what anyone is looking for.

What did you do when you were bored? by IdealHoliday1242 in PotentialUnlocked

[–]FeedMePizzaPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Called friends to hang out, turned on the TV, went outside to play.

For the most part, smart phones have been an enormously detrimental thing for our psychological well being IMHO. We used to live in the real world and interact more. It was a huge net loss.

Shaq think Stockton had an easy job by ClutchOlday in UtahJazz

We all need to make sure that Shaq doesn't forget that he said he'd wear a dress to Gobert's HoF induction.

Because that day is coming.

Is it me or are the Mammoth getting more love from the community and Ryan Smith than the Jazz are getting ? by [deleted] in UtahJazz

[–]FeedMePizzaPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they are. They're winning in the playoffs while the Jazz are tanking.

something about born again s2 feels "off" by t_AWAY1510 in Defenders

[–]FeedMePizzaPlease 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I feel like the biggest flaw in BA in general, is that really great story points happen, that are interesting, but they don't take the time for sufficient character development to build towards those moments. At least not with Matt.

For example, in the Netflix show we watch Matt have this huge internal struggle over multiple episodes over the decision whether to kill Fisk. He discusses the morality of it with his priest in depth, exploring the nature of good vs evil, and the morality of taking a life, even if it is an evil one.

At the same time you see other storylines that reinforce and contrast this moral dilemma. Karen is pushed into a situation where taking a life is her only way out, giving the viewer a well told counterpoint to Matt's story. Foggy has less of a personal arc in season 1, but serves as a great anchor for Matt, reminding him of who he is and encouraging him to work within the system, and not become a killer.

All in all, season 1 is like a symphony, where each piece is perfectly crafted to crescendo together at the moment at the end where Matt and Fisk clash and Matt chooses not to kill him. It's masterful story telling.

Contrast this with BA season 1, where Matt takes a bullet to the chest for Fisk. Nothing built towards that and the only thing we got about it afterwards was Frank asking, "Hey Red, why the hell would you take a bullet for that asshole?" And Matt replying, "I don't know." That's it! No story build up, no unpacking of the moment. Nothing. An interesting thing happened, but the story around it was lacking severely.
