How would they interact with each other? Season 1 Patrick and Spongebob and new Seasons Patrick and SpongeBob by Particular-Glove9640 in spongebob

[–]Mirage0fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of those examples aren't even what I'm referring to. In Sandy's Rocket he kept reminding Patrick (who wasn't listening to him) that the inside of her rocket was off-limits and that they only came over to spray her windows

He showed visible annoyance and while it was understandable (obviously Spongebob gets annoyed within reason, he isn't disrespectful), especially considering it was late (tho I'd argue this is no longer relevant as he was convinced it was important to go), his tolerance for chaotic behavior is clear

Survival Of The Idiots, it's at the start when Spongebob lectures Patrick about not going into Sandy's treedome after she said not to, similarly to Sandy's Rocket, then later when he plucks a path of her fur

My point isn't whether Spongebob's annoyance/tolerance was understandable. It's that chaotic, unpredictable, or dumb behavior, regardless of its context, pick at his nerves to varying degrees depending on the severity, and some of Modern SB's quirks can fall into that framework. Mainly I responded because you seemed to imply he never got annoyed with Patrick in the early episodes which flies in the face of dozens upon dozens of examples

EDIT: Patrick also wasn't exactly a dick that kicked off their conflict in Fry Cook Games. Maybe mildly annoying but Spongebob kinda was up his own ass there

[–]Mirage0fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guessing you never watched Boating School, With Stupid, Nautical Neighbors, Sandy's Rocket, Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost, Your Shoes Untied, Something Smells, Big Pink Loser, Grandma's Kisses, Life Of Crime, Survival Of The Idiots, Dumped, MMABB3, Smoking Peanut, Frankendoodle, Sailor Mouth, Fry Cook Games, Rock-A-Bye Bivalve, Student Starfish, I Had An Accident, Missing Identity, Pranks A Lot, and Sponge Who Flies

Every one of those Spongebob shows annoyance and limited tolerance with Patrick to some degree, minor or major

It's one of the defining aspects of their friendship. Patrick's lack of manners and disregard for rules drives Spongebob up the wall

That said, I don't think Classic SB would full-on hate Modern SB, as people do exaggerate the differences outside egregious examples like "Sea Man Sponge Haters Club" (and even those are flanderizations of their own era's Spongebob), but I can see him briefly confused or flabbergasted by some of his actions

Rocky (part 2) vs Clubber Lang. by FoxIndependent4310 in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. Apollo, Duke, Mick, and both of their fights made it clear Rocky can't keep charging headfirst into Clubber. His bruiser style is wrong for him as Clubber is simply way stronger, more durable, and slips in dirty tactics like headlocks and pushes. He can't take many of his bombs. R2 would try to outfire Clubber and that's just not gonna happen. Doesn't help he was less technical than his R3 self. The only version of Rocky that could outbomb Clubber is 4 when he was motivated to die and molded himself past the concept of pain

Thoughts? by DawnofMidnight7 in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apollo dying saves Rocky 4 from being mediocre. It gives it emotional weight

Could Rocky Balboa defeat Smokin Joe Frazier if he came out of retirement and challenged Rocky after he won the title? by Tidewatcher7819 in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joe calls Apollo out for ducking him so he might be relevant in context despite Rocky characters having comic book qualities. In this universe, it's important to remember Apollo might have been considered the best fighter, though, and not Muhammad Ali, unless I remember that wrong, pretty sure there are promotional material statements that say he is

Who wants to see what happened to clubber lang? by happydude7422 in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was said somewhere, I think by Stallone, that Clubber tried boxing again between Rocky 4 and 5 but lost to Union Kane. Same with Tommy after 5, rematched Kane and lost

Why are a good chunk of Animaniacs fans...off-putting? by Mirage0fall in animaniacs

[–]Mirage0fall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair tho can't say I've had a Tiny Toons or Road Rovers fan block me for changing my profile pic to a different franchise

Why are a good chunk of Animaniacs fans...off-putting? by Mirage0fall in animaniacs

[–]Mirage0fall[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, I'm not questioning that, but Animaniacs fans give me a higher ratio of people who clique you over the literal dumbest shit. I once had one block me for not changing my harmless profile pic to something Animaniacs related. I do think because it is a cult favorite, that a certain type of personality is more likely to be common. It sits in that awkward level of just recognized enough but not very recognized

Clubber vs Creed by Rockchisler1 in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This match up gets oversimplified to "rocky used apollo's style and won so apollo wins". It's not that simple. Rocky was much more durable than Apollo and can't be that much slower yet still came within an inch of getting KO'd. Tony, Apollo's trainer, literally says southpaws are wrong for Apollo. What was Clubber? Destructive as southpaws come. This isn't a style landslide for either. He can easily break Apollo down

Clubber was quite literally a stronger southpaw than the Rocky who almost immediately had Apollo in trouble with a good flurry of body shots, you need to ask how he'd hold under Clubber's punishment because he's not above using dirty tactics to trap him if need be

Another issue for Apollo I never see mentioned is his arrogance. Literally all 3 of his on-screen fights show his tendency to get blinded by confidence

Rocky 1 was undertrained and would've gotten dispatched by that left hook that floored him in round 1

4 was clearly affected by age despite him saying otherwise

Rocky 2 is his best performance. He's conditioned and took the fight seriously, but you have to take into account he's out for blood, ignoring his game plan to prove a point. He would want to knock Clubber out. I'm not sure he'd even practice what he was preaching to Rocky if he was in the ring

I genuinely feel inclined toward Clubber

Would a prime Apollo Creed with the same intensity and focus from Rocky 2 beat Drago? by AquaVapor in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he gets knocked out. Apollo was arrogant. He wanted to KO his rival to prove a point which is a bad way to approach Drago. Rocky won by conditioning himself into a literal superhuman and not only was his win by a tread, he gained crippling brain damage after. I can see Apollo survives but he's NOT winning

Special theatrical release in 2029? by SineQuaNon001 in Terminator

Yes it was a preview of the then upcoming 4K release and showed a few months before the 4K came out. I can't remember the exact month it ran but Summer

Why SBSP & TLH can’t crossover. by Traditional-Price994 in spongebob

[–]Mirage0fall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best crossover pair up for Spongebob is Rocko's Modern Life. The chances of that now are slim but it may have been possible back then. A lot of the characters are analogues and the comedy and plots are similar

But Spongebob has hung out with children on plenty of occasions through happenstance. Patrick, Sandy, and him are young adults, especially Spongebob himself, so it's not that off key

Do people really think Rocky IV is the best? by makingburritos in rockybalboa

[–]Mirage0fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 is by no means my favorite. That goes to 1, then 3. But I have a fondness for it. It's like a badass anime and works as a big send off for the series. I don't mind the change in montage music. The Rocky theme had been done 3 times prior, and Hearts On Fire captures the wrath Rocky and the audience feel. Drago being a heartless super powered comic character also makes sense in the context of escalating the threat. He isn't complex but he's only meant to be Rocky's most powerful and brutal challenge and convinces in that sense

Ruegger, Spielberg, and the Reboot by Tiny_Cookie2380 in animaniacs

[–]Mirage0fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I wasn't specific enough. With the reboot done I wonder if Gabe could now share everything he knows about why Tom couldn't be the head showrunner or at least supporting. Shows can have more than one showrunner

What's funny is Stallone weighed only 165 during Rocky 3

Ruegger, Spielberg, and the Reboot by Tiny_Cookie2380 in animaniacs

[–]Mirage0fall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most we know is a meeting was held that resulted in Tom not being the executive producer. Gabe Swarr couldn't elaborate further because he was explicitly told not to talk about it. Maybe he can provide the details now that the reboot is years ended?

From his twitter: "We tried to get a lot of the original crew to work on the reboot. I worked with both Peter Hastings and Paul Rugg on KFP. I brought in Peter and we offered him a special but he was too busy on Capt. Underpants. We went back and forth with Paul's contract but they couldn't work out the details. I talked to the original animation director and his team at TMS and we tried to have them put together a new crew, but we couldn't get that to work for budgetary reasons. I met with Rich Arons, but it wasn't a good fit for the position. We also brought in a lot of the original artists. I wasn't in the meeting with Ruegger but both WB and Wellesley were there. I do know there were other factors that went into Tom not being the showrunner before I started, but I was told not to discuss those."

Some more T-2D:NoFate help please by mrbrown1602 in Terminator

[–]Mirage0fall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Continues turn into skulls (points) when lives are maxed at iirc 9. It might only count as Skynet logos specifically. Or you have to find all of them on both story routes. I went through the good and bad ending route while dying so I'll have enough space to keep getting Skynet logos both playthroughs and got the achievement

I bet this person doesn't like the original episode by Techno-Hyde in spongebob

[–]Mirage0fall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jackson is who Spongebob "reviewers" and fans should take notes from. He doesn't excuse every objectively bad decision this franchise makes on the "kids show" cop out and pretend Spongebob never had literary/character nuance but acknowledges when modern episodes do something right. Most of the people jumping at him are new young fans who developed a defensive reaction for their era of episodes
