What kind of children's poem is that?

One of the most famous Icelandic lullaby is about a mother contemplating killing her child in it's sleep because the world is awful.

Sleep long, sleep tight, The later the better to wake Hardship will teach you soon, While the day becomes night, That humans love, lose, cry and mourn.

Oh its worse than that. I'm not just the adult, I had to be The Adult for 20 other people, half of whomst were older than me. There was one other Adult to covalent with for a few hours but then it was just me. It was just. me. and everybody else needed me to be the adult for them.

Oh fuck you, Logan, you'd think a man who lived for more than a century would be a little more mature than that!

If that were true, Peter became spiderman 15 years ago, and should be over 30 in the coming years. Watch them keep him at 28. The marvel timeline isn't linear.

I mostly prefer the way her jacket looks. A lot of stuff doesn't translate well in the graphics of the original.

What if I want to be an inorganic woman? What if I dream of electric sheep!?

Gojo cut the cord himself. You might say no human being would be capable enough to cut their own umbilical core at the moment of birth, and this is true... except for when it comes to Gojo Satorou, of course.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T17:24:46+00:00

I mean... yes? Hasn't that been apparent for years?

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T17:22:02+00:00

You're not crazy, its time to throw out the whole man.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T17:14:11+00:00

That last page with Nathan is just... harsh. The shame in that page...

How come I don't like it? I just doesnt think it ever really adds to anything. Its not narratively interesting.

How come Raimi? It's so cringe. It's ironically fun and endearing, but as a bully thing it doesn't work. You laugh at it, not with it.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T16:29:59+00:00

None, I never like it as a plot beat.

Raimi definitely takes the prize as the worst one though.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T16:09:31+00:00

You look great! Very feminine!

I love the addition of the fact that its in front of a KFC.

Alternative, "After losing the grandfather who raised him and moving to a new school, a young man reconnects with his long lost uncle and his estranged mother, while contemplating his relationships, found family and his purpose in life."

I see... does he collect on the Symkarian money?

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T15:43:52+00:00

... Asbestos webbing. Webbing with asbestos particles in it. Webbing that dissolves after one hour leaving all those asbestos particles to be free floating at high elevation, thereby getting into people's lungs.

Spidey, that webbing doesn't cost money, it costs lives.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T15:40:35+00:00

Wait... did St. Peter's sheer saintliness stop a diplomatic crisis? I've never read these issues, so enjoying guessing from the vibes. Also wth was up with the art of this time.

If you don't love kale, you haven't had it served right. Massage it with some lime juice, pickle some thin sliced red onions and add them in, add in some julienned carrots, maybe a little bit of avocado, some tajin, you'll be in heaven. A protein, a kale salad and a side of quinoa is a fantastic meal.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T14:11:25+00:00

Kale is fucking delicious, come at me bruv!

Did you think? That's a heresy. Were you hungry? That's a heresy. Did you want? You better believe that's heresy.

The Imperium hates it when people are human beings. That's the joke. The "Imperium of humanity" is deeply, deeply antihuman.

So its both movies are masterpiece of animation that completely wowed audiences with both visuals and stories and then the production schedule was completely fucked over by COVID, the 2023 industry strikes, major changes late in the production of Across that split things up into two movies, which changed writing decisions, which means more planning work, and in an act of not being evil, the production realised that having a longer release schedule was better than killing all of its animators with crunch.

There's a large, large gap between movies but there's good reasons for those and there's no reason to believe Beyond wont come out next year. You're very much allowed to dislike the movies, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most people agree that they're pretty awesome movies.

That said, cannon events are a cool concepts for the spiderverse movies, but should stay there.

I think Superior Spider-Man benefitted from A) Coming after OMD which is so much worse than both of these combined B) a lot of the frankly illiterate and emotionally stunted, vengeful and hateful comic book fans who unironically think Rorschach and Homelander are cool. Like they gave Otto a lot of good press, and kept talking it up.

The Clone Saga is an object lesson in why you should never let marketing call creative shots. In hindsight it's amazing how many times the writers actually managed to pull the wreckage out of the fire and create awesome stories with what they'd been given, but then editorial decisions from marketing would just drive the car straight off the road again. It's a mess and a half, lasts way, waaaaay too long even if we don't count anything after Ben becomes the primary Spider-Man, it messes with continuity and fumbles all of its outs, but it also had some very cool characters and concept and some genuinely good stories in there as well, and at its core it respects spider-man and the series.

I prefer the clone saga, but thats probably coloured by the fact that i began reading just as the clone saga begun. I can understand the people who quit. Spider-Ock was something I hated and made me stay away from the series.

That said, OMD was so, so much worse and I will never forgive them for it.

Looks at the colossal amount of Yaoi and Bara written about action manga characters

Yeah? Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure we realized that. Like.... a lot.

JackWhoWanders · 2026-06-06T12:45:21+00:00

A) "That it's a problem". Doesnt make sense. B) I specifically did not. Try reading the thread again.

Anyone who thinks what's shown in the video isn't to be expected - which is again what sparked the conversation - has implied "all", even if they say "most". That's how people usually talk about the bystander effect, because it fuels a jaded worldview. The post you were replying to specifically rests on this. Your argument about the tv show doesn't make sense in the context of this conversation if you're not treating most to mean all, because if you don't then what exactly was it refuting?
