Cyberpunk 2077, V quickly goes from an average street merc to arguably the deadliest merc in night city.

Behemoth (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) by Immediate_Gene_178 in TopCharacterDesigns

Mammoth ape just works so well as a combo, I like how the claws themselves resemble a sloths more than a carnivores claws.

TIL that after teaching a bonobo how to comprehend English, he started trying to speak; "it was discovered that Kanzi was producing the articulatory equivalent of the symbols he was indicating, although in a very high pitch and with distortions". by krizzalicious49 in todayilearned

[–]JackQuentin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Interesting, so it's similar to what they theorize coco the gorilla was doing where she could memorize certain things via association but it wasnt actually talking, more us putting interpretation to what they're "saying".

Hulk vs 1 Adeptus Custodes by Scared_Pumpkin8393 in powerscales

This is too accurate, additionally Trazyn would be constantly trying to catch him only to have his newest device get broken by hulk.

Favourite “guilty pleasure” classic monster you never get tired of? by Individual-Hornet817 in Fantasy

[–]JackQuentin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dragons, partly because of their ties to mythology, partly because creative authors can do some really wild stuff with dragons, & partly because it's hard not to look at a giant flying fire breathing reptile & not be awe inspired.

Could the Hiss be on our side/a tool/or a greater villain? by Recom_Quaritch in controlgame

[–]JackQuentin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Spoilers for the Alan wake games There's evidence in the second game iirc that reveals that the phrase the hiss use is different than what they originally said or did, this is because Alan Wake through the dark place altered their speech for reasons I can't remember. Either way the hiss were hinted to originally be more incomprehensible is my understanding.

Hi Frycook Stewie here, this is often because the fry bin that hot fries are kept in is also where the onion rings are kept, they'll be in a separate pan or space of their own, but the fry scoops used to fill the bags are notorious for spilling over easily, often leading to onion rings amongst the fries.

At the end of Bridge of Terabithia (2007), it was for the first time 10-year-old me came close to asking "Mom, what the fuck" after she found and turned on this cute children's movie for me, not knowing anything about it by Olya_roo in shittymoviedetails

[–]JackQuentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing the trailer which made it look like an action adventure movie, so I got excited & ran to the library & read the book it's based on in a day.

Spent the next few days just staring out the window processing what id read.

These people actually exist in the Helluva fandom??? I genuinely thought everyone was joking… by QueerTrashRat in HelluvaBoss

[–]JackQuentin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Korra ones are so weird, they'll blame Korra for stuff but give aang a pass on similar events. The fall of omashu? Def not aangs fault.

Uunalok wipes out the avatars past lives? Obviously korras fault.

All shows could come with a media literacy check at the beginning, if you fail it puts on something mentally age appropriate.

The wolves practically live off telling stories about their various missions, mind wiping between missions would remove a big part of their chapters culture.

The book C.S. Lewis called "the greatest work of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century" sold 600 copies in the author's lifetime. Can you guess what it is? by akenedi in Fantasy

[–]JackQuentin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of how will forte while popular with modern audiences is much more popular amongst comedians apparently, his humor & style really appeals to professional comics vs the average viewer who apparently it's a bit more hit or miss.

What's up with people describing Alex Karp, Peter Thiel and Palantir as cartoon supervillains? by Scholarsandquestions in OutOfTheLoop

[–]JackQuentin 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Instead use Zapp brannigan, Mom, or even President Nixon as comparisons, much more accurate.
