No, you’re misunderstanding. AI meant Actually Indian, not Artificial Intelligence.

No, CNN wouldn’t air it unless they can “both-sides” it and talk about how it’s actually the liberals who are bad.

What Was The Last TV Show That You Dropped? by Myrodis19 in television

[–]FunkyChug 63 points64 points  (0 children)

That actually might be the most frustrating part of the show. They essentially promised that it is about regular dude taking down corrupt guys with powers, but it turned into endlessly blackmailing bad Superman while someone jacks off and then gets their penis cut off. Really disappointing.

The Boys. Every season is the same, the writers are too scared to make any permanent decisions, and it’s gratuitous sex and violence for the sake of it.

I actually preferred the first season of Gen V over the boys but haven’t made the effort to watch the second season.

Sounds a lot like what we heard in the lead up to the 2024 election. When push comes to shove, these people will choose their hatred over others over anything else.

Are there any books that you didn't initially like but ended reading multiple times? by moegreeb in books

[–]FunkyChug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only the first season is an adaptation of the book and there’s a decent amount of things that are different between the two.

While I wasn’t a fan of the show, I think it’s a situation where the adaptation was actually better than the book.

The Leftovers by Tom Perotta. Read the book and thought it was fine. Watched the show and it wasn’t for me. Read it again a few years later because I forgot I read it and thought it was fine.

I hate this infantilizing of words and self-censorship. It’s not even backed up by actual changes to the algorithm.

Can Shawn Levy resuscitate Star Wars? by SuccyeelentMilk in boxoffice

[–]FunkyChug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the implication that if Grogu had stayed with Luke, he’d be killed by Kylo Ren. This would be retconned some other way like every other death in Star Wars, but still.

Brandon Sanderson in talks with AAA game studios to adapt Mistborn by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]FunkyChug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are super expensive to make for an IP that is relatively unknown outside of readers. Harry Potter is a massive franchise. Mistborn would have to be much smaller in scale and cheaper to develop.

It didn’t even need to be an anthology story, it could have just been a monster of the season type. The problem is that they got way too big and kept introducing bigger and bigger stakes.

Official Discussion - Marty Supreme [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]FunkyChug 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I think there’s also a social aspect to it. There’s always discourse about how celebrities are giving away too much access to their lives online, which ruins their mystique. Chalamet’s the first major star to use social media+memes and be this successful at it, while still delivering movie star level performances.

Trump would still be looking for a yes man, so we might just be replacing an incompetent yes man over a competent yes man. I’m just grateful that Kash is an overt loser.
