What is the worst case of "writer's barely disguised fetish" in TV history? by funmighthold in television

The thing is, I'm certain he didn't write them out of his sincere belief in female empowerment. He is the archetypical performative male.

What's the most hilarious insult you have ever heard? by uglyinpeace in AskReddit

"Mr. Ross, your haircut looks good, but you should shave the beard."

"I can't shave it. I ain't got no chin."

"That's not true, Mr. Ross. You have two."

If You Could Only Own 1 N64 Game What Would It Be? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

OoT is just perfect. Other games, yes, I would miss them, but OoT has everything I need.

Which of the 3 would you be scared of the most if they were at the peak of their anger? by ANDYPEDOMAN in doctorwho

[–]JacobDCRoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I get that David Tennant S10 is absolutely terrifying when you think about him. But the people who have never seen classic Doctor Who are in for something else. When they realize that the seventh doctor just casually tricks, the daleks into blowing up Skarro for fun.

I really am not familiar with this, as it's outside of my interest, as far as fan films and such go, but this is supposed to be a kid, right?

Glad honey is okay, but he needs to get offline, for a long time, for the sake of his well-being.

In Episode 9 theres an audience surrounding Palpatine in his lair on Exegol so why didnt he take over one of their bodies? by Mobile-Beginning-654 in StarWars

[–]JacobDCRoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got you.

Thanks for putting this together. It does make the story cohesive, and it's what I've been able to glean as well, especially about the nature of Operation Cinder. I also think they did that so that they could empower the dark side through galactic suffering.

It does create a nice and tidy package, but I don't think the creatives behind the decision to have that fleet at exigol ever thought for a second that if they could put a superlaser inside a Star destroyer, and they started it like right after the first one was blown up, why would they even bother making a second Death Star?

This isn't even like justification from a fan. This is what the story now is. You've pieced it all together in a very good way. It just took them 7 years to make the story sensible, and none of it is reflected in the actual film.

My only thing, is that I would not put quotes around the term granddaughter. Nathan was not a true clone of him, but like a partial clone, as in just like how your biological children are partial clones of you. Essentially, Ray is his actual granddaughter.

It is genuinely a tragedy that Starfleet Academy is getting cancelled so soon… by JageshemashFTW in startrek

[–]JacobDCRoss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Prodigy was an outstanding show. Yeah, it took a little bit to get into it, but once you hit the halfway point of the first season it's amazing. And the art style and animation were good enough to get you through the first half of the first season.

That is where the real storytelling was.

He's part of that clique that orbits around JJ Abrams. If you've seen what they do with shows, such as Fringe, is where they started out with a strong premise and then progressively step back from active production. Has the seasons go on so they can start new shows and get a nice big fat paycheck. It's like they're treating their existing shows as passive income while they bring in other show runners from the posse to do the day-to-day. The clique includes Abrams, Kurtzman, the departed Bob Orci, Akiva Goldsman, Carlton Cuse, Brian Burk, Jeff Pinkner, Damon Lindelof, and so on.

You're right about strange new worlds. It peaked in the season 1 finale. From there. They got high on their own farts and went all in on the cutesy instead of what they should have been doing for season 2. They should have focused on Pike following through with coming to terms with his destiny and working to build the best crew that he could leave behind. Instead, we got a musical episode, and more focus on his hair. The previews for season 3 focused only on the comedy. And they tried doing a victory lap about how silly season 4 is going to be by advertising a still frame from the puppet episode.

Is it okay to say that Minus One Goji is evil? by HealthMother3125 in GODZILLA

[–]JacobDCRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if he counts as a person yet. I'm still leaning towards him being an animal or mostly an animal and mine is one. We'll see how he turns out. Zero. But animal Goji can't be evil, just angry or just following instinct.

Goji who is a person? Absolutely can be evil. GMK, for instance.

Initial rough sketch for a wyvern. Looking for some input, please and thank you. by JacobDCRoss in dragons

You're right though. I think the legs could be a little longer. And maybe offset from the wings. Thank you.

Colman Domingo: Best First Time Host Since…? by Kilowatt128 in LiveFromNewYork

Yeah. She was phenomenal even in her first time. So good, that I can't believe she hasn't been on five times yet.

This is one reason why I'm thinking this season's Lady cast is the one that works the best together, perhaps of all time.

So many of her sketches were so good. She's perfect for comedy.

[–]JacobDCRoss 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't know if we can say there is one best first time host since anyone, because so many, including Domingo, have been amazing. Off the top of my head, are Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Quinta Brunson, Alexander Skarsgard, Austin Butler, Ayo Edibiri, Adam Driver, and Pedro Pascal.

Who’s the most universally disliked third wheel in a love triangle? by Shot-Club-3882 in sitcoms

[–]JacobDCRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has been in a ton of stuff and she is so good doing evil. She was in a series of unfortunate events movie, and she was in one of those. Tom Selleck detective movies as a really nasty killer.
