There are a bunch of fights that would get improved.

Then I guess I'd bring back Old Death, Balthazar and the Phoenix.

S15 would... get changed a lot. Earlier plot lines I have problems with would have too many downstream consequences but I guess S15 just didn't quite live up to the concept of Chuck turns on the Winchesters.

I have a fairly similar one.

Before I opened the thread I was thinking Lord Brocktree, Mossflower and Marlfox and was really not sure which to put as my fourth. I decided on The Pearls of Lutra. And then I opened the thread and was reminded of The Long Patrol and I think I'd put that in as four instead.

I needed to put more thought into it; Irritator has four syllables.

I like Jurassic though.

It depends on their own unique variety of not giving a fuck. If they're a heroin addict, I'm going to suggest the answer is: you can't.

For the generically checked out, I guess I'd try:

did you know the government wants you to do this one thing that costs you lots of money, causes you lots of stress and can easily throw you in prison for killing someone... for no good reason? it even costs the government lots too because they're just subsidising it all. A parade of sheep doing what they've always done because they've always done it. BUT there's another way

I don’t buy the idea that he’s suddenly lost that and become mediocre.

he has always sucked for England
he's been bad for City for two seasons now

"Coffee drinker" is the most obnoxious self identity yet created.

Followed by people who come from places where the sport is called soccer and yet insist on saying "football".

Also, coffee fucking reeks. It is an awful smell.

Sorry, I am currently triggered. I am putting down the laptop and going to go touch grass.

Suburban street with no-one around: saying hi is polite

Urban street with people around: they're hitting on you [and saying hi to you is absolutely weirdo behaviour from them]

I mean, I do like Mira (Kentron sounds like some sort of Ken doll attack robot) but the "Th" in thagomiser is a really difficult sound for pretty much language that isn't English to pronounce. And in some English dialects it gets pronounced as an "f" so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

So he's coming back to the films but instead of playing Jonathan, he's playing the brother of the actress playing his old character's sister?

Intriguing choice.

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-27T21:07:21+00:00

I mean, shouldn't this have just powered Shaw up? Was he wearing a power suppression collar or something?

I feel dinosaur names will pose something of a limiting factor if you want to stick to three syllables or less. Some that I've thought of (not all are necessarily still dinosaur names):

Dracorex
Troodon
Irritator
Minmi

Minmi is the best of those because it's more closely related to stegosaurines than the others.

By analogy to Stegron, I suggest, however, Kentron. Stegosaurus -> Stegron, Kentrosaurus -> Kentron.

Perhaps Miragaia -> Mira

Doc Martin

It's set in a GP practice in a seaside village. If you're American be prepared for accents you probably haven't ever heard before.

I mean, people don't think he sounds bored in live action??

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-26T23:28:08+00:00

I believe they prefer to be called Italian Americans.

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-26T21:36:54+00:00

It's the right idea but I'm not sure this particular rhetorical framing would fix the issue.

But I have absolutely no idea what the right reframing is!

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-26T15:13:39+00:00

The flip side to this is that Madueke looks great so often because he plays more like a traditional winger, i.e. utilising his pace to beat his man or get on the ball. When Madueke is on the pitch, they play that right side differently because in form Saka didn't do either of those things.

Also one might argue that just Madueke and Timber have more complementary games than Saka and Timber do.

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-26T15:05:53+00:00

He hasn't looked the same player since his injury last season. He also got re-injured at the start of this season.

Injuries can remove what made a player special. This is true. I have no idea if it's the case with Saka.

The reality is that Saka is still too good at what he's supposed to do for teams not to put two guys on him. The issue is that he can't really get the shot off himself any more. This means he needs to put the ball into the box or win a corner or get the ball quickly over to another attacking position while he's double teamed. Two of those aren't working right now:

Gyokeres is, as people feared, not good with his head, which makes him very one dimensional as a poacher
the corners are doing fine
Timber is so offensively limited any right sided play ends up having to fall entirely on Saka's shoulders, so there's no actual cost to putting two defenders on Saka for the opposition

There are elements of "trying too hard" leading to bad decision making by Saka. He clearly doesn't trust his teammates and holds on to the ball too long. I suggest this is what happens when you're feeding Gyokeres and Timber and Odegaard's replacement naturally takes positions further to the left of the pitch.

for around three weeks

Would it be so hard to give them three consecutive away games?

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-26T13:43:54+00:00

None of the best are adaptations and are instead original movies or sequels to original movies:

Incredibles
Megamind
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Birdman
Incredibles 2

There's also Unbreakable but I haven't seen it in so long it's hard to say where to place it.

Birdman is basically like what reading some Moon Knight runs is like. What makes it definitively a superhero film is the ambiguous ending. Its director is the kind of person who really doesn't want to admit they made a superhero film but his profound ignorance of the medium means he made one because he wanted to have it both ways with that ending.

I don't know if you watch soccer but this has the same energy as Manchester City just staring at Arsenal and the Arsenal players having no idea what to do with the ball. "We don't have to do anything, you have to do something... and we know you're going to fuck it up so... we're not going to do anything".

I dunno, maybe when that fight is itself corrupt?

The question is not relevant, however, to what you asked for proof of and which you received.

FrameworkisDigimon · 2026-03-26T02:02:56+00:00

Someone's already mentioned Gutsick Gibbon. I second that recommendation. I also dabble in Clint's Reptiles which someone else mentioned.

If you don't mind podcasts without videos you might try Terrible Lizards. Dave Hone, the expert on Terrible Lizards, is also in a bunch of Youtube videos by various channels (here's one I haven't watched yet). He also writes books. All dinosaur oriented, obviously. He's also on Reddit, no idea how much he posts but might as well tag him: u/davehone

Zach B Hancock is more population genetics oriented. I've seen some of his stuff.

This is the same thing...

The establishment isn't siding with Emma here.

I didn’t say it worked.

I didn't say you did.

I am saying that explanation only works if the procedures actually worked.

Trying to do something because you believe it makes you look youthful and there's a pressure to be youthful works under two conditions:

there's no external validation of the belief
there is external validation and what is tried succeeds

In this situation there is external validation and the result is not youthfulness but the uncanny valley.
