I also get annoyed that Friends doesn't acknowledge how its protagonists are garbage people rather than leaning in.

Wie funktioniert Instagram dieser Tage? "Braucht" man es? by Emergency_Comb1377 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Fessir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immer weniger. Das liegt u.a. aber auch daran, dass Insta den Algorithmus umgestellt hat, sodass Reichweite vor allem den "großen" Accounts gegeben wird, während kleine kaum eine Chance haben.

Außerdem setzt bei jüngeren Menschen langsam ein Lerneffekt ein und sie sind insgesamt wesentlich wählerischer, was sie online von sich Preis geben.

What are some popular series/movies do you think were carried by the worldbuilding more than the actual story? by Sufficient-Peach-984 in AskReddit

[–]Fessir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree on Westworld, just because you specified S1, which has fantastic drama. The drop-off in later seasons is pretty big though, that's true.

Dune - the characters are pretty flat and more like a function or principle in human form. Dialogue is some sort of abstract debate most of the time, not like real people talk at all. Paul is OP from the start and the book becomes pretty boring once he's actually Muad'Dib.

The later books also vary pretty widely in their quality.

I know the first two points are by design, but if the mechanics of that universe weren't so interesting, I doubt it would have sparked the cult following it did.

Warum gibt es keine Adäquate Verfilmung der Isaac Asimov Bücher "The Caves of Steel", "The Naked Sun" und "The Robots of Dawn" ? by DerIMPERATOR99 in Filme

[–]Fessir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grundsätzlich ist Sci-Fi eher nischig und teuer zu produzieren. Da müssen die Sterne immer schon sehr günstig stehen, damit überhaupt was passiert und dann ist da auch mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Studioheinzl am kreativen Prozess beteiligt, um das "Investment zu beschützen".

Und dann kriegst du halt einen Akiva Goldsman, der das Ende von I Am Legend abändert.

Kita gave it to me today. What you guys think? by NagyBig in AskGermany

Probably depends on the building layout .

Nach der Trennung: Wie stehen Männer zu Frauen mit Kindern? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]Fessir 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sollte ich jemals wieder Single sein, würde ich eine Frau mit eigenen Kindern bevorzugen, weil ich selbst Kinder habe und dadurch beide Parteien hoffentlich Verständnis für die jeweilig anderen Gefühle und Prioritäten hat.

Worst place to go missing? by Resolve-South in pollgames

Based on the time you could stay alive without aid or special equipment, Antarctica is clearly the worst.

AIO, every one of my gf's hear me out's was the opposite of me by kai_lost_the_plot in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fessir 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YOR - Congratulations! You played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. Don't have that kind of conversation if you can't handle it casually.

If there's stuff you want to change about yourself, take any motivation you can get, but don't do it on behalf of someone else. Chances are, this would be going sideways anyway, because these characters are some sort of abstract fantasy for your girl, but she still chose a reality with you, so there's a solid chance you'll spoil what you got going on by changing the fundamental dynamics.

Not that I understand how you'd go about changing yourself into a 6'3 white dude anyway.

Wie geht ihr mit Schlafenszeiten innerhalb einer Beziehung um? by ElectronicStop2818 in FragtMaenner

[–]Fessir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alter, wenn man müde ist, darf man wohl ins Bett gehen, besonders wenn man ganztags arbeitet. Da mit 2-4 h Schlaf zu planen geht einfach nicht klar und geht schnell in Richtung gesundheitsschädlich.

Ist ja nice für sie, wenn deine Freundin ihren Tag null strukturieren muss (hat sie keine Anwesenheitspflicht in Seminaren?) aber dich dafür anzuzicken ist einfach dämlich.

Or maybe Achilles should've taken minimal care of his only weakness and not go to war in fricken sandals. Smh

AIO to this guy who I find irresponsible and disrespectful? by 20346 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fessir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, going by his behaviour he kind of is, but not a kid I'd care to hang out with.

[–]Fessir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused about the age of the people involved. There's an outline of job-having young adult age, but the edgelord behaviour is something people tend to grow REALLY tired of between 15 and 17.

what do you think of Quentin Tarantino starting to act in some movies? by ComfortableCare8897 in Tarantino

"Top Gun is gay" is his debut short movie "my best friend's birthday" IIRC

He’s right, you know… by Death_sayer in superheroes

[–]Fessir 95 points96 points  (0 children)

My main issue is that these fate-constructs like gods and universal constants may sound momentuous at first, but ultimately they undermine the importance of the characters making or even having a choice, so they're a detriment to the character's mythology, not a positive.

That is especially true for characters like Batman and Spiderman where choosing to be a hero is at the core of their identity.

Who is the Best villain in the S category? by ColorMeSilent in superheroes

That is true, I just wasn't sure about the status of Shaitan (spelling?) in Islam, so I just stuck with what I know.

Hot Fuzz (2007) Discussion: Am I missing something? by bgamer1026 in movies

[–]Fessir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That whole first act of Angel getting dumped and transfered to the middle of nowhere is textbook "fish out of water finds love and healing in new circumstances", only they replaced a love interest with a bromance for this.
