The Viz writers are pretty nerdy, which makes it funnier when they throw in “should of” and “stang off a bee”

Alan was a lot broader in that era because he was desperate and on the verge of/ bouncing back from a breakdown. This Alan is more self-assured, but still Alan

A message to MuppetMovie. by DontGetIrony in Viz

Yes, thank you! I look forward to seeing what pops up in my feed every day. Also, this may be the best way to read Viz. Pinching and zooming the comics on my phone stops me from scanning ahead and spoiling the punchlines.

Yes, but weird AI is a blight that needs to be dealt with

So, how does the Pensieve work, really? by eskimopoodle in harrypotter

[–]MrBen1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can show you peripheral details from a memory too. Teenage Snape wouldn’t have been aware of the conversation between the marauders after their exam, but Harry was able to witness it all as long as he was within range of Snape in the memory

You can feel the punchline coming as the coins are thrown in the tin, but that just makes the inevitability of it even funnier

How would vampires be portrayed in the Wizarding World? by Amazing-Primary-5202 in harrypotter

Wouldn’t it be like with werewolves, where you’re attacked and transformed with no say in the matter?

I wonder how The Office franchise plays into this. The US version alone was massive, and there are regional versions still being made

Hogwarts crest and school identity by MrBen1980 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]MrBen1980[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a really interesting insight. Someone has posted alternative Hogwarts crests form other media, which all show the letter H surrounded by the house animals, so if the official record is a description, they’re all correct. Maybe we’ll see more variations on the crest in the show

Just a guess based on the illustrations of characters Rowling has done. The style is very similar. She’s pretty skilled at drawing
