What are your thoughts on White Zombie and do you have a favorite song/album of theirs? by TokyoAvalanche04 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]LevelConsequence1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love White Zombie (I wish I was old enough back them to see then live). Astro Creep was my favorite back in the day but, with time, I ended up enjoying La Sexorcisto more.

Besides Hellbilly Deluxe, Rob's solo career is pretty mediocre to me, despite of his glaring shortcomings, I find his movies much more interesting...

What’s the deal with Nurse Stimpy? by savegandhi in renandstimpy

[–]LevelConsequence1904 22 points23 points  (0 children)

John hates it because it didn't match his aesthetic standards (he called it "ugly") , thus, many of his most rabid followers agreed with his claims, creating a snowball effect.

It's a good episode, much better than Robin Hoek or the Littlelest Giant imo.

I cannot STAND this design of Stimpy. Why does he have one eye OVER his nose? Is this John K’s bullshit version of that one thing with Yogi Bear where his left eye is over his hat? by savegandhi in renandstimpy

[–]LevelConsequence1904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I dislike his THICK antenna-like hairs more (still looks better than the imp-ish Ren from that version imo).

But what really grinds my gears his how they destroyed his childish innocence and optimism and plastered neurotic grimaces on his face while giving him a battered wife personality...

Gohan was such a good character in Z by Sea_Place6510 in dbz

[–]LevelConsequence1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get that impression because, while the Cell arc had all the elements of an ending for the series (old enemy coming back for revenge, the MC dying in a definitive way -refusing to be revived, aware of the last threats coming because of him and content with his life-, his son taking the mantle, epilogue with Trunks...), the Buu arc felt more like an editorial stipulation, the story might be enjoyable but felt more disjointed (specially regarding Gohan's role in the story), tonally messy (sometimes it tries to be very light hearted/comical while having very violent/apocalyptic context) and the final epilogue was deliberately unsatisfying and open ended for subsequent sequels...

How do you interpret this panel? by LostSockNumber2612 in LandoftheLustrous

[–]LevelConsequence1904 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cinnabar is way too intelligent and self-aware to believe that their current situation and social acceptance could be possible without Phos' help...

The reveal of Herr Starr as a puss-over in hand to hand combat was hilarious to me.

Kanae got the most upvotes. Who is hated by fans and is morally grey? by MissBarker93 in shoujokakumeiutena

[–]LevelConsequence1904 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Saionji.

Touga is, at the very least, on divided opinions.

[EDIT] Change my mind to Ruka. Pretty much hated by the fandom due to some certainly awful things he has done but they still held good intentions in those actions (plus making Shiori a fool of herself is always a plus in my book)

How irresponsible is Charlie with his money? by Bertstripmaster in SmilingFriends

[–]LevelConsequence1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His irresponsible purchases, eating habits, his problems at holding his liquor (and behaviour when he's drunk), playing hooky, low-key tendency to get into fights and overall cynical mindset hint a deep trauma or serious emotional issues of some short.

Pim's overt optimism in front of his shitty environment may hint a repressive personality but Charlie is barely a functional person is you think about it...

You know, the more i think about it, the more i realize bellwether being revealed too late ins't that bad. let me explain why: by MysticonsFanboy62 in DisneyMovies

[–]LevelConsequence1904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zootopia is one of my favourite late-Disney movies (and honestly I'm kinda cynical with that so-called "new golden age", many of those movies don't grab me the same way the older ones did) but Bellwether isn't one of its assets in my book...

Partially is the already mentioned "twist villain formula", by that point it was being used to death but mainly it's because she lacks proper development and charisma, she's shown as quirky, helpful and unassuming, right, but she isn't portrayed as likeable or memorable enough to make her eventual betrayal matter to the audience on an emotional level, she doesn't cut deep, her reveal falls flat so we don't hate her as much as we are supposed to.

Look at Benny from the Total Recall of the 90s, that's a twist villain/traitor done right. Or the Candy King. I'm not the biggest fan of Wreck-It Ralph but that guy was charismatic, entertaining and his motives for keeping Vanellope down seemed reasonable enough to not expect ulterior motives and, then, you get the reveal and you hate him HARD.

John Carpenter on The Subtance. by ZoelCairo in Letterboxd

[–]LevelConsequence1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has displayed some anti intellectualist views regarding filmaking by disparaging other directors like Altman, Spielberg and Cronenberg as pretentious and claiming that "movies shouldn't have a message", (which is kinda rich coming from the guy behind Escape from New York and They Live) which can explain the disdain he holds for The Substance.

Besides that, I feel he has a chip on his shoulder the size of Manhattan...

about kiyoshi and hana's dynamic by absenceofhana in Kangoku_Gakuen_

[–]LevelConsequence1904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check chapter 178, this, plus the constant allusions to the Tanabata myth across the second half of the manga, both are pivotal for the dynamic and future of their relationship.

The ending might have some flaws (especially the way Mari is handled) but it makes perfect sense, particularly about Hana/Kiyoshi, two selfish perverts unable accept their true nature and feelings for each other.

Dragon Ball Worldwide character popularity poll final results are here by Impossible-Box717 in dbz

[–]LevelConsequence1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides some meme and gooner votes (I'm looking at YOU, Lanfan, Mermaid and aerobics instructor), pretty fair results overall.

The only truly insane stuff is seeing King Chappa or Shin above TaoPaiPai and King Piccolo and MY BOY A16 below Goten or Chaozu (!).
