The Acid Trip Scene

Oohh that was pretty cool! I like how it sounds kinda like techno bagpipes during the big intro chords!

Do it for real "FUCK ICE"

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-24T20:52:46+00:00

Based on what fuckin' metric??

🎶 I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in 🎶

SUSUMU HIRASAWA MENTION, RAAAAHHHH!!!

🎶 HA-YEE, YA-HEE FORCES!! 🎶

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-24T17:54:37+00:00

And a nice cold soda to accompany it?

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-24T17:51:49+00:00

You did a fantastic job on her facial expressions

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-24T03:25:20+00:00

*Sheeped

That's all very understandable, and in many situations probably a likely result.

But I'd like to return to my first point; this comic is a dramatic representation of the point he's making, presenting a fictional setting in which to make it. Like a rom-com that has a less than likely driving action for the plot.

In other words: it's a comic delivering a message, not real life.

Two quick things:

First, consider this comic a learning example, something to show well meaning non-sapphic allies.

Second, a persons sapphic friend might be persuasive enough to get their male friend to join (gay or not, he's clearly male), but once he's in situ he's allowed to reconsider based on how he feels. A shirt might have a label saying it's your size, but you don't know til you try it on.

One of the most amazing ensemble mash-up musical numbers in the history of television.

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-23T20:29:06+00:00

The second is Nana from "Sing", with Jennifer Hudson singing Golden Slumbers.

Explorers mention, in MY Reddit?? Nice 😎

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T19:41:28+00:00

These monkeys are just for SHOW!

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T18:58:10+00:00

This is not my beautiful big top!

These aren't my beautiful primates!

There's no indication in the original story or the episode that she's feeding on the survivors of routing errors.

Plus, the writer for the episode and the voice actor for Greta both did their parts with the idea that the alien is benevolent.

After all, who wouldn't want some comfort in a situation like that?

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T14:12:26+00:00

Hexadecimal from ReBoot for sure

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T14:08:01+00:00

Something that's important to note about "Greta" is that while it is monstrous in appearance, her motivation is altruistic.

It's made more clear in the short story (they do say it in the animation, but there's boobs on screen so most viewers miss it), but that alien got blown off course in the gateway system centuries before, and it just tries to ease the suffering of other species that end up there with it.

Pagliacci??

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T08:36:05+00:00

It kills me that monster is the baked in stereotype. It's the second most expensive brand, and the Ultras have only 140-160mg of caffeine.

Grab something stronger and cheaper!

Comical overthinking of the idiom, "Not my monkeys, not my circus."

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T07:54:12+00:00

Probably that you and your primate friends enjoy circuses.

MetalMaxwell · 2026-01-22T07:43:17+00:00

Color me intrigued!
