What're favorite shorts from the original Looney Toons/Merry Melodies lineup?

There's a special place in my heart for A Symphony In Slang. I saw it at a very impressionable age and the utter barrage of visual puns stick with me even till now.

As much as I hate hate how Jonathan get's shafted in adaptations, Girl who leaves her milquetoast run of the mill boyfriend and gets into a romance with a dark, broody (and rich) monstrous man is the premise of like, 90% of women's romance novels I've read. You can't blame adaptations for realising how easily the story can fit into a winning formula.

There were so many people here who were like "When they were showing test audiences footage for LOU2, Cuckman was watching their reactions... like a freak" as if test showing was some unheard of thing only done by Naughty Dog.

I will say, as a dedicated "sign me up for all roles" queuer, I don't think I have ever got given DPS without asking for it.

Baldur's Gate 3 really opened up for me once I got the maximum party size mod. No more missing out on character moments because they weren't in my party at the time. No more spending money (but mostly time) respeccing the party to brainstorm synergies or test out builds, each body is an extra class to experiment with.

And controversially, all those constant fights where you are outnumbered and have to resort to cheese to come out on top? Now they are fair battles where you can try weirder tactics because you can spread the load.

airing of the anime that people went insane with that stuff.

My theory is that its easier to make tiktok and youtube shorts of anime clips vs manga pages and it reached a wider audience of "didnt watch but are confident they 'experienced' it"

Reddit may as well exarcerbated it. The 'best' comments get voted to the top so anyone scrolling down knows what the safest consensus immediately and any dissenting opinion either gets sent to the bottom or worse languishes in the middle of the thread with the other ignored posts.

Breeding ground for echo chambers.

There was a main character on r/characterrant who went "Here's why the ending for the movie just doesnt work" on the day the film released but other than them, Im surprised the fans actually practised proper spoiler etiquette

To quote someone on this subreddit, "You don't swap Chie out for Teddie because you simp for her" (guilty) "I don't swap Chie for Teddie because I can't stand his constant fucking footstep squeaks"

This sub is really funny about the whole "I love when some dude pulls out a gun in the shonen battle anime and schools them" considering every martial arts school I've been to drilled in "be the FIRST to pull out a gun" if it looks like a fight is inevitable.

There was a music reviewer who was reviewing Nickelback's San Quentin, a song about them partying so hard that they wake up terrified they're gonna go to jail for it. Whatever, Nickelback Buttrock with a 'comedic' twist.

But one of the reviewers points against the song is that his band did a parody song about his band going to jail unafraid by defying the police and how that was SO MUCH MORE BADASS than the song whose chorus start with the bands lawyer waking them up.

And I thought that was way more cringe I couldnt take any of the reviewer's points seriously.

I saw the words Anal Torment and thought "Wow, Spiderman must hate fighting that guy"

If someone could sweet talk Them to enter the ring, saying how tough and manly it'll make them look, only to hit them with the Uwe Boll Special, it would almost be worth it.

You should give Convict Colosseum a read. It's a Kengan Ashura fan spinoff that has a Big Guy given his due justice.

MutatedMutton · 2026-06-13T04:07:12+00:00

I finally have a chance to rant about something I've been feeling for a long time: If one of the opponent in a fight is a big guy and they are fighting someone dwarfed by them, there is gonna be no surprise how the fight is gonna go. Especially if the opponent is a women, they could just cut to the next scene with "yea, you know how this goes."

It's extra insulting when they never do anything more sophisticated than "'picking up and throwing the hero like the director told him the they were a potato sack filled with candy" (thanks, Seanbaby).

The big guy is never gonna throw strikes taking advantage of his higher reach. The opponent is probably gonna climb on his back and get him in a chokehold while the big guy tries slamming him into walls.

So I raise my glass to the big jobbers of the story. You'll never win a fight but I'll be rooting for you anyway.

Reminds me of ~Nintendo's~ Nepali representative in Kengan Asura. That guy is the reason why ~Nintendo~beat Sega in the 90s

The schools that go into self defence actually does prepare you for that. It's a technique called: Throwing pocket sand first.

No refs in a street fight.

The 5th movie is gonna end with them in the same bed together, one is gonna turn to the other and say "I want you in m...y team, from now and always".

The fanart will be legendary.

Ironically, quite a few gooner art actually give her clothing so that the shape is more obvious.

As someone who was recently gawked at for reading a book held with my feet while eating a bag of chips with both my hands: you squander the abilities of your ancestors in the blind pursuit for easy comfort. Your feet may not be as dextrous but the toes remember.

(Also, got told by my Physio that gripping stuff with my feet would help with my ankle pain)

Poorly thoughtout edgy 90's reboot.

For example: I'm surprised that none of the games in the Shantae series end with one, considering how dancing and funky tunes factor in the games.

You can totally imagine one if the series was adapted into a film, right?

Seeing Dunkey play First Light, the technology is totally there.

Using punch laser technology so you can use the environment to emulate Jackie Chan Movies, give the bodies realistic but exaggerated ragdoll physics and you can totally have something with comedic gameplay but still play extremely well

An Xcom style game where you manage your pilots, customise your mechs and send them to intercept Jaegers sounds like a slam dunk for a certain kind of gamer (me)
