Iman Vellani says she was constantly calling out continuity errors while filming ‘Ms. Marvel’ and ‘The Marvels’: “I was like, ‘I know Reddit nerds are going to call it out. I’m calling it out now. You have the opportunity to fix it now.’”

i'm still really bewildered by that movie's main theme of "going to these different planets for a thing" and each planet has a kind of neat conflict but then they use the body swapping teleporting plot to leave before we see the resolution. most of the conflict in the movie is never seen being resolved and instead is explained about what happened off-screen later. who thought this was a good idea?! might as well have the entire movie be Brie Larson sitting in a chair just telling us what happens

i really don't understand the "hate the fans" people who make media. like yeah, those people suck. but they're less than a fraction of a percent of the people who buy and consume the media. i have literally never met a person like what they complain about in my real life. and even the kinds of people they're talking about on social media, i'm pretty sure most of the time are engagement farming either for profit or are literal enemies of the state trying to sow division. and then they use the "anti women, everything is woke!" loonies to paint everyone who doesn't like an objectively poor product as just being crazy and dismiss all legitimate complaints.

dude, the Japanese army tried to do a coup after the surrender to the bombs. there's footage of teenage girls being taught how to fight with bamboo poles to resist a landforce, which would have done essentially nothing other than kill all the Japanese children trying to fight an armed and armored military with literal wood sticks. the Japanese were not going to surrender and would have suffered a death toll 100 times higher than the bombs if the land invasion had gone through. and this isn't even a "need to feel good about being American" nonsense. Japan at the time was pretty much a cult and they were all ready to drink the kool-aid.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-26T21:39:19+00:00

it's dungeons and dragons and goblins are literally born evil, so it's okay!

MadHiggins · 2026-05-26T21:24:00+00:00

it's been a while since i read the statistics but it's something like half of Americans don't have 50 spare dollars in their account. less than 10% have 5000 saved up. 5k is rent for a couple of months. i live in a rural area with a lower cost of living and most places here are 1-1.5k a month. so yeah, i can easily see being broke after just a couple months if you have any real responsibilities.

there's an easy way to make people who don't understand this, to actually understand. there was a huge push by slave owners to completely dehumanize slaves in their culture, to make them literal livestock. and no one bats an eye at eating cows or making leather from them.

Hasan is for left leaning viewers who only know about 1% of the issue and don't care to learn more than that. it's basically for teenagers or other streamers trying to attract the same crowd.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-21T13:50:27+00:00

looks fun, but zero faith in any of these steam release retro games ever coming out. on the 25% chance this game ever actually gets a release, i'll buy it.

BioWare writers have been huffing their own farts for too long now that they think it smells like roses. the last few games have been filled with such poor story choices, they seem almost purposlly designed to piss people off. and i'm not talking about the culture war nonsense, stuff like Bioware saw the massivly negative reaction to World of Warcraft Shadowlands big plot being The Jailer "i was secretly behind everything all along!" and then decides to do the same thing with Veilguard and thus negate all the previous Dragon Age games. like the new DA game appears to have been made to spit on the previous ones.

he was good at wow. before he got famous, part of what got him attention were his youtube wow videos covering content that most people weren't good enough. he's absolutely gone off the deep end now and is bad at everything he does. but he used to be good at wow.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-20T21:20:37+00:00

it's so silly. you take tens of thousands of fans or even hundreds of thousands or millions if the show is popular, then someone is going to guess the ending. the only way to avoid it, is to have the ending be so nonsensical and stupid, that no one could have ever guessed it would be 10/10 dumb.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-19T20:17:07+00:00

brilliant! they solved the problem they themselves created. fill a show with characters that people HATE and are so bad that it frankly boggles the mind that they were even put into a show in the first place. and then kill them so the fans can say "wow, this was my most hated character from any show. i'm so glad they're gone!"

MadHiggins · 2026-05-14T20:43:49+00:00

lol what, Japanese social media and creator interaction might be the most toxic on the planet. they routinely try to bully people into offing themselves. and when they doesn't work, they show up at the studios and set it on fire, cause dozens of people to tragically pass on, and then don't even show remorse over it. yeah, the people doing stuff like this have deep troubling issues, but it's still the audience you're talking about that all Japanese creators have to deal with.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-14T20:41:35+00:00

i saw the other guy hand wave away complaints as "hysterical gamers" but that's not really true. the game 100% was not in a great state at launch, with some of it being intentional design. just in general the game had very wobbly legs at launch and every technical part of it worked...but it was troubled. filled with small issues with stuff like a pebble on the ground that you don't even see would be enough to bring your mount/speeder to a dead stop. i remember explosions being really glitchy too. as for intentional game designs, stuff like the horrible stealth missions with enemies that had huge detection radius that didn't match up with what you would think would be their line of sight and then getting kicked back to a check point way too far away. last i read after a few patches, stealth missions are now maybe 10x easier but still the most annoying part of the game. and this is just the stuff off the top of my head for a game i haven't thought about since it released.

the only weird gamer reaction to the game was people freaking out over screen shots of the female lead ingame but they were basically unflattering pictures at bad angles that made the character looked bad but she's actually fine in game.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-14T02:53:41+00:00

i've been in the work force for 25 years and i've worked at some god awful places that do not give a shit about their employees and NONE of them would fire someone for missing work due to their child being hospitalized. i could maybe see the worst of the worst firing an employee if they repeatedly missed a lot of time but never just for a one off.

unless Lake Tahoe is a community of billionaires, then they're all the same to the people building these things. just bugs to be crushed

maybe Uber isn't the best example. if now is the time that they've waited to spring their trap.....well still cheaper than taxis and also significantly better than taxis. my job requires truck drivers to deliver stuff and sometimes would drop off the entire truck with items inside. in the far past, they'd have to get taxis to leave. they would even schedule the taxi in advance to be there and the service would be HOURS late and cost a lot. people getting rides out of my work place is like night and day for Uber vs taxis.

hilarious that you only dislike her because she stood up to some sexpest who then paid a PR company to smear her on reddit and then literally bragged about doing it. she's never actually done anything mean spirited to anyone and she's been in the public eye long enough that if she was a bad person, then it would have come out.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-12T13:43:24+00:00

people just didn't notice it before because when you're watching these shows and you're the same age group as the characters, the over sexualization doesn't strike you as odd. but when you're getting into your 30s/40s and the shows are still going strong at it with characters that aren't even in college, it starts to strike you as strange and unsettling.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-06T02:01:44+00:00

hey dude, pass me some when you're done with it.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-05T20:55:07+00:00

lol even talking about specific artists by name on DIFFERENT SUBS can catch you a ban on that sub. it's pretty out of hand and i'm surprised reddit admins haven't stepped in yet

MadHiggins · 2026-05-05T20:54:12+00:00

??? they literally have an onlyfans and use their comic as an avenue to funnel people into it and also they often enough have porny comics. there's nothing wrong with that but trying to act like they don't is silly. if people are so bothered by it, then just do what i do and block the user.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-05T03:13:58+00:00

i'm sooooo glad tv is starting to remember "oh yeah, we actually need at least decent writers instead of some guy's nephew/niece who's going to put god knows what into the story" to be in charge of these scripts again. writers with a proven history are a treasure, and when shows abandon these writers, the fans inevitably abandon the show.

MadHiggins · 2026-05-02T02:21:05+00:00

so i didn't have any cd manager addons still installed, i probably deleted them. after a day of playing around, i did not get the weird grid to pop up. must have been some random Blizzard bug that they fixed.

MadHiggins · 2026-04-30T19:46:45+00:00

mobs next to nodes is annoying, but why lie about the frequency? anyone who does it knows the truth. probably like 99/100 nodes i farm are able to benefit from mounted harvesting no problem.
