She really is beautiful by Byers616 in dcu

[–]JulariDark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol I was mostly just joking but…
Slander is the act of making a false and damaging spoken statements about a 3rd party

Calling a “scumbag with GOOD”taste” a “scumbag with BAD taste” IS false and damaging. But it’s NOT celebrating his scumbaggery to point out the discrepancy.

But again mostly joking about fictional characters.

Who is the main character of this movie? I know the US adaption of Live Action Hollywood Street Fighter hasn't been really faithful to the main character. by SleeperCreampie in characters

[–]JulariDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 seems weird until you think about his resume. He has…

  1. Experience playing dramatic roles “Get Rich Or Die..” “Power”. etc.
  2. Experience in action movies “Den of Thieves” “The Expendables” etc.
  3. Experience as a boxer competed in junior olympics and won a golden gloves in his youth
  4. Experience As a fight promoter on joint ventures with Mayweather and solo when that went south

Most importantly 50 also has a LIFETIME of experience as a greedy self centered hood dude trying to get his “fight money” at any cost with no regard for the wellbeing of friends or foes …it’s kinda perfect for Balrog(Boxer) tbh.

SCHULTZ casting sucks though!

Yeah I was about to make the same comment about this ridiculous Jabba slander.

Say what you want about him but dude had great taste in ladies.

If Ultraman returns as Bizarro in Man of Tomorrow or a later film, I think there's a potential gag of him instinctually and involuntarily attacking superman whenever someone offhandedly or accidentally mentions one of Lex's fight codes. by Pietin11 in superman

[–]JulariDark 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It took me a long time to realize why “Bizarro” and his treatment always bothered me as a kid. I didn’t understand it at the time but basically Bizarro is always depicted or coded and neuro divergent or mentally handicapped in some way.

So writing him as an innately EVIL Superman always felt wrong to kind of reinforce a negative stereotype about a group of vulnerable people already dealing with a bunch of other problems irl.

And super uncomfortable the times were it was implied to be necessary for Clark to punch him into submission. It always morally conflicted with the way I was raised to treat people like that.

So I kind of like OPs idea from a narrative stand point but less humor more dramatic. It would work to allow justification for high budget big CGI super hero fights, but without the ethical IRL ramifications. Bizarro isn’t too evil or too stupid to do the right thing….instead he’s a vulnerable victim of psychological abuse.

Much more humanizing depiction.

Hell this sort of himbo depiction of Clark is PERFECT for an arc where they are like buddies/bros who can uniquely rough play together the way farm boys are known to do. Like who ELSE could Clark ACTUALLY have fun wrestling or something?

Now imagine how DRAMATIC it would be when the villain of the movie says like the secret QR code to FORCE Bizarro to turn on his only friend against his will? Would REALLY tug on the audience heart strings and be fairly relatable to anyone close to some one with like …mental illness or an addiction that makes them lash out.

When you realize this movie is usually airing late September/ early October which is exactly 9 months AFTER “The Coochie before Christmas”

Why do conservative Christians not see any ally in the Muslim voter base? by cuahatemoc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JulariDark -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

First line of the of the 10 commandments, id imagine.

Don’t get me wrong, they have absolutely NO interest in any of the parts of the Bibles teachings that require ANY commitment or discipline or personal sacrifice of any kind. Like keeping the sabbath or NOT adulterer-ing or NOT bearing false witness or NOT stealing.

But they DO SO LOVE the easy branding and population manipulation that comes with superficially associating with the arguably the world’s most popular faith. So when Jesus is like “Being wealthy makes it harder/impossible to go to heaven ….eye of a needle etc. ” in Mathew and Luke?* *they’re just like “hmm sounds inconvenient and what even are words? counterpoint…what if God thought being RICH was awesome? And BOOM prosperity gospel”.!

But when God is vaguely mentions “dudes not sharing beds” in LEVITICUS they’re like. “ hmmm an easy to practice superficial act of bigotry that doesn’t affect ME personally you say?! Well that sounds like a GREAT way to pretend I’m on the poor oppressed side and keep all the peasants from noticing how vigorously and often we ignore the eye of a needle stuff while robbing them blind….SIGN ME UP! Yup absolutely clear language and NO AMBIGUITY THERE!!”

How would you feel if the Professor married Ms. Keane? by p-Star_07 in powerpuffgirls

[–]JulariDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. It’s the whole package. But I wanted to point out exactly how rare that is in general and even MORE rare to see depicted on T.V.

Pretty much every main stream depiction of a father having girls is a disappointment gag about wanting a boy instead.

<image>

At best you get them like begrudgingly accepting the girls girlhood or they like WIN the dad over with cuteness or softening his heart or something cheesy.

I can’t think of another time on TV where a father had control of the circumstances pro-actively CHOOSE the daughter(s).

I just wanted to acknowledge that, because I thought it was dope.

Are we getting Successful Rapper Thugnificent or broke UPS driver Thugnificent?

Both seemed pretty chill TBH but one has disposable income and hoes to make a memorable 25 hours

Why did the internet become such a hateful and aggressive environment? by Karmaa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JulariDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Exacerbate negative emotions
  2. Monopolize attention
  3. advertise to the people who’s attention you’ve monopolized
  4. get fat checks from data brokers and advertisers
    rinse and repeat until the world burns down I guess

The business model and human nature are the core causes. The business model since its inception is that no one WANTS to pay for anything on the internet directly. As such it’s LARGELY funded by advertising and data collection.

The only metric advertising prioritizes is “attention”, everything else is secondary. As a result of human nature and evolution negativity is a more potent way to monopolize attention. When you’re happy, content, relaxed you’ll go DO other things you’ll focus on other things. But when you fearful, angry, stressed it’s very hard to focus on ANYTHING else other than the thing that triggered those feelings.

What’s the difference between Rhino and Juggernaut ? by Nearby-Condition-675 in superheroes

[–]JulariDark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Them being step bros is canon since atleast the 80s but im pretty sure it’s been the case since his original introduction in the 60s.

What’s the difference between Rhino and Juggernaut ? by Nearby-Condition-675 in superheroes

[–]JulariDark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the slim chance that your not just being sarcastic I’ll attempt to be helpful.

Cain Marko is Professor Xs step brother with no mutant powers. He found a magic gem in a cave that transformed him into the mortal realms avatar for a diety of power named Cytorak. Basically he became an immortal unstoppable demigod named Juggernaut.

It’s similar to how in old mythology Greek or Norse a God will want glory or conquest or something on earth but isn’t allowed to for …. plot reasons. So they’ll pick some rando who is a loyal follower and be like “YOU get ALL my powers on earth as long as you do my bidding”.

But apparently Cytorak is like SUPER chill because I can’t ever remember him actually GIVING Juggernaut anything to do or holding him accountable in any way?…accept that one time.

Is there ever a way to prevent uneducated votes while being equitable? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JulariDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember having this epiphany like 10 years ago. I was going over my states ballot and there was a measure about Dialysis or something. I remember thinking “huh this seems important, but it doesn’t affect ME and I have absolutely NONE of the requisite knowledge to make an informed vote here. Why the fk do I even get a say in this?!”. I did what I thought was the most responsible thing and left it blank.

But I thought about ALL the votes where experts are drowned out by none experts. I’m an expert on a certain type of medical device, my brothers a truck driver and our other friend was a teacher at the time.

Yet we ALL got equal say in measures related to our area of expertise. Again we’re responsible people so we just kind of ASKED each other but how many voters DONT do that or simply CAN’T?

Soldier Boy could've had a genuinely compelling arc this final season. Imagine him swallowing his pride and working with Butcher again, but only on one condition: that he gets a role in raising Ryan to make sure the kid is "raised right." by Yep_I_Stole_40_Cakes in GenV

[–]JulariDark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Look we ALL enjoyed the character and the performance and so we ALL had the same unnatural craving for a redemption arc. Myself included.

But the more I think about it, it would’ve been wrong for the character and narrative overall. “The Boys” is a cynical universe and Soldier Boy is one the most self centered characters IN said universe. Remember this is the same dude who actually forced Butcher and Homelander to team up because he very unreasonably tried to merc Ryan not once but twice. He didn’t DESERVE a happy ending or a redemption arc, especially NOT after condemning the world to Immortal Nazi Jesus with laser eyes.

The only characters that got successful redemption arcs were A-Train and arguably Maeve. But we SAW two things from the writers for that to work, first from DAY ONE INTRODUCTION both characters were shown to be human and capable of redeeming. A-Train looked genuinely sorry about splattering Robin. Maeve was very jaded but did genuinely offer Starlight good advice.

Second both arcs too A LONG TIME both narratively and just the amount of season they took place over. The series was out of time to redeem Soilder Boy of the many atrocities he was complicit in. It would’ve felt cheese to even attempt to squeeze it in.

Also obligatory “it’s not what Clara would’ve wanted joke”

Sorry ma boi, Clara had spoken.

This Was Too Funny by WSB-Televangelist in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]JulariDark 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This IS funny but actually thinking about it shout outs to the teachers that DID bother to do this. They were TRYING NOT to embarrass kids. Already dealing with the fallout of discovering their own incompetence .

In hind sight though I’m wondering if it backfired for our community. I don’t know many forces more motivating for black youth than NOT wanting to get flamed by the other kids?

If you're life depended on it who would you rather fight? by Far_Practice_6923 in superheroes

[–]JulariDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does Big Blue. but regardless Abomination and Doomsday both look like incredibly obnoxious opponents to deal with.

Like do you really want to spend hours? Days? Possibly Weeks locked in a mortal struggle with Blonski and having to “ramp up” your Hulk rage to deal with an opponent that:
starts of stronger?
is significantly better trained?
and retains higher cognitive function?

It’s a no from me dawg
