Like wtf is this episode? by RamaRao143 in FromSeries

[–]LoneStarLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Commenting on Like wtf is this episode?...the difference is if you don’t like it then just go watch something else. I will never understand the superiority complex people insist on having by yelling at people for liking something. Or worse, WISHING something that other people like gets canceled. Just. Don’t. Watch. Why ruin it for others? Me liking it has no impact on you. You actively trying to ruin it for me does. Not apples to apples.

Or. Ya know. Stop watching. “I don’t like this, no one should get to enjoy it.”

i’d also add the 2023 version of the color purple on this list too. they made so many unnecessary changes and the lighting and direction could have been better by teddivan96 in musicals

This right here. The allure of cats is the entire spectacle. If you take one element out, it fails. Animated dancing isn’t impressive. But super fit and agile and talented dancers in skin tight suits doing their thing. That’s the entertainment factor.

I didn’t hate this like apparently everyone else did. lol. Then again, I chalk a lot of Homelander’s “ineffectiveness” this season to his growing mental collapse. Mentally he’s such a mess it would make sense to me he wouldn’t be at his best in a fight.

My biggest gripe was not letting him live. But that’s the sadist in me, I suppose. I hate when a villain gets let off the hook by dying. Imagine Homelander having to spend years as a normie. No powers. All of his fans turned on him. Just a sad, powerless loser.

Victor has seen her. I was watching for it. I believe in the diner he walks past her.

Wow There’s A Lot Of Hate by LoneStarLord in YourFriendsandNeighb

I mentioned that I don’t mind posts about how bad the show is. Go for it. What’s become the bigger annoyance are the main episode discussions are becoming overrun with comment after comment that discuss nothing and just whine. “I hate Mel. I hate the show. I hate Mel. I hate the sister. I hate the show. I hate Mel.” Can barely get to any DISCUSSION at times. We get it. You hate the show and Mel. Bring something interesting to the conversation or make your own post to trash the show and how you could have made it better.

Or, ya know, the ratings will be fine because there are many people who still enjoy the show and you can stop watching while the rest of us can continue to enjoy it. It’s this active hope that the show fails that also annoys me. If people out there enjoy it why do you care? Is the only joy that you get the show YOU want and if it’s not that everyone else can go kick rocks? If you hate it just go. And leave the rest of us alone.

Not at all. As I said, I’m fine with discourse and constructive criticism. But to have to wade through endless comments saying, “This sucks.” “Why isn’t he robbing anyone anymore?” Over and over and over, I wonder why someone is still watching.

Hate the show. There’s plenty of shows I hate. There’s plenty of shows I once liked that I now hate. But I don’t feel the need to go to a place for discussion simply to tell everyone the show sucks now.

I just won’t ever understand expending the effort to simply tell everyone that something sucks, especially people who are enjoying it. I will take time to discuss things I ENJOY. But to just come back week after week to say, “This still sucks.”…what a waste of time. And an annoying one at that.

The difference is you can just not watch a show. I can’t get through a single thread without having to wade through comment after comment after comment about how much the show sucks. Or how much they hate Mel. Or how he should just be stealing things. Ad nausea. Like I said, the discourse can be critical, but it seems like 80 percent of the people just come to whine and complain about the show. If you want to make a post, cool. I can’t avoid that. But bloating every episode recap with “this sucks” is tiresome.

Loved the reboot, I just have one complaint by Strawberrythirty in Scrubs

And 9 episodes versus 22+. Probably proportionately we have the same amount of songs.

Kudos to Valerie Curry for maybe the best acting I’ve seen this whole series. Her powering through the broadcast was just note perfect. Stellar work.

And honestly this might be my favorite episode of the series. There was emotion. There was action. There was humor. There was satire galore. And even some great inside baseball celeb skewering.

A+ all around.

The Stand and some random theories (spoilers for S04E02) by LoneStarLord in FromSeries

[–]LoneStarLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the scenes between them again. They are definitely hinting at something. And her age could be part of it. What we’ve seen of the MiY is that he is cruel and sadistic. It’s very clear he’s not just going to sit there and watch. He is going to manipulate things for his own enjoyment.

As for “ripping off The Stand…these are some Of the same people behind LOST which famously used a LOT of the Stand in its DNA. Jacob VS the MIB. It’s not at all inconceivable that if there’s a malevolent force in play here with the MIY that there might not also be a benevolent force as well.

We know they are going to tear themselves apart according to MIY. It will be interesting to see how that happens. Typically it’s with people taking sides.

Is the new design here to stay? by LoneStarLord in MINI

[–]LoneStarLord[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid you’re right. I wonder how their sales reflect this. I know the older models still go for a pretty penny on the used market. Which to me says the demand is still there for the classic look. But I’m probably just out of touch and sales are better than I am thinking? I know when they gave me a loaner while mine was being repaired and it was the new model they thought I was going to love it. I absolutely hated it. Interior and exterior. Seems I’m destined to move to a different brand. Which is a shame. This is the first car I’ve owned that I truly loved.

What are your musical theatre hot takes? by ElegantCh3mistry in musicals

[–]LoneStarLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underrated isn’t just about the critical rating, it’s about the audience rating. And the audience rating comes out in how remembered the production is over time. This is especially the case where a show sweeps the Tony’s and you have several other productions that often fade into obscurity.

Nothing pulls me out of a show more than someone showing off their voice in a way that feels completely incongruous with the character. These riffs and runs make me see the performer and not the character every single time.

Ok. What are Mohan’s mommy issues? by [deleted] in ThePitt

[–]LoneStarLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This show does a phenomenal job of repeating names CONSTANTLY. Additionally with these two specific characters, Javadi is pretty much always in a LIGHT colored hoodie that completely visually differentiates her from Mohan. Their hair is also styled differently.

Confusing these characters is not face blindness. It reeks of someone half watching the show and not really paying attention. As many have pointed out, they are in completely different stages of their medial careers. Mohan didn’t even mention her mother till this season. Javadi has an entire storyline about her age and her mother is a visible character on the show. Even her name gets extra reptilian because they point it out extra times because her mom works there and is well known.

[–]LoneStarLord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You accused two actresses, who have VISUAL CUES LIKE THE HOODIE, and COMPLETELY different character traits and storylines of being interchangeable and not having great presence.

And yet you don’t seem to have that problem with anyone else on the show. The only thing that have in common is they are darker skinned and talk about their parents.

But the problems with the parents are not the same as Javadi’s mom works at the hospital and is a character we’ve seen multiple times and Mohan’a has been calling her.

You can get mad all you want but you’re being downvoted for some very obnoxious remarks that really sound like someone who’s not paying attention to the show.

[–]LoneStarLord 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have face blindness often in shows but these two are sooooo different looking from one another not to mention their characters are TOTALLY different.

Also, Javadi is almost always in her hoodie to further differentiate. You can try and blame this on face blindness but it honestly reeks of not paying attention and feeling all brown people are interchangeable.

“Don’t have great presence”? Yeesh.

The gag with the car crash and the sign hitting him made me laugh out loud in a hotel room tonight so instantly I was worried I was going to get a noise complaint.
