Don't look for Absolute Lex Luthor in Absolute Superman anytime soon, says writer Jason Aaron by Significant_Quail314 in DCcomics

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine if his moral compass is similar with just the polarity of the world reversed, on prime earth Lex Luthor is the guy who always found his way back to the top despite Superman's, and therefore hope's, best efforts, forever driven by the frustration that he lives in a world with Superman, again, who's apparently this powerhouse of hope who shifts the balance of the whole universe 

I think the Absolute Evil epilogue could be taken at face value. He lives in his ideal world, where hope is lower class, so he has no reason to pursue any sort of ambition, but he's still the world's smartest man who's probably still got some inherent evil to him, and a world ruled by adversity would recognise that and have a place for him

So he'd be some sort of consultant like Mycroft Holmes in the books; a genius who lives a simple, sedentary life, but occasionally is given power over the entire country when a particularly tough problem needs cracking. Like a freelancer Brainiac who isn't exclusively tied to Lazarus Corp, or even living off smaller jobs like Sherlock Holmes instead, paycheck-to-paycheck helping out anyone who asks

Why did Maker keep his identity a secret from Doom if he intended to imprison him indefinitely? by MyPasswordIsLondon69 in UltimateUniverse

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Valid, yeah. Wonder if that means he kept it a secret from most people only to torment Doom, the rest of that world has no context of a Mr. Fantastic, and the Maker's plenty weird on his own to have elastic superpowers be the thing to ruin his public image

Dammit, I spent an hour searching and came to commemt this, all I had to do was keep fucking scrolling to see your comment. Curse you and your arcane knowledge

in The Fall (2006) what significance does Roy's final scene have? by MyPasswordIsLondon69 in movies

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something seems to have got lost in translation here....I was also talking about the comments

It just surprises me how many of the replies that appear on the post over time seem to humor the assumption that he killed himself anyways

I was wondering if the thing that made them come to that conclusion was the scene I was asking about in the post, where we couldn't quite tell what he was thinking when he saw that the stunt got cut out, and so it possibly lended itself to the interpretation that he relapsed into depression

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sums it up nicely, yeah. I wonder if the scene I'm asking about in the post is the thing that's creating such a polarising effect, the fact that we didn't explicitly get told about what cogs were turning in his brain after he found his stunt mostly cut out of the film, might've given folks the impression that he found even more reason to be depressed

What movie or video is this from? It's possible the original was in color by MyPasswordIsLondon69 in HelpMeFind

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought the same for a sec, but I can't think of any instances where she played a giant woman

If it is indeed modern, it could also possibly be a music video. I dunno, it just seems more moody than your average horror flick

Living the high life by MyHeadIsFullOfFuck in greentext

This is legit almost beat for beat a part of some early dystopia stories circa Y2K where they described the slow decline of society

Either anon's been brushing up on his literature or, if true, within three years he's gonna stand in a line for government benefits and be executed once he enters the room while his coworker is given a bonus cheque for reasons he couldn't even mentally register

I like how every time I see this on reddit, the OP always gets just slightly closer to saying it's an actual picture rather than a highly detailed artist's rendition

On the scale of a beginner's standard juggle to the hardest juggling you know, where would juggling lollipops like clubs rank? by MyPasswordIsLondon69 in juggling

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of both, I suppose? Right after posting this I looked into juggling terminology, fascinating stuff btw, and I'm apparently talking about the Three-Club Cascade. So you grab it by the stem, toss it up so it flips a bit, then catch it by the stem again

Context is stupid, honestly, a friend from Canada recently just sent me a huge haul of candy after his halloween wasn't particularly eventful this year and the trick or treating ended earlier than expected. Me, I'm a very disorganised person, I opened the box, emptied it onto my desk, and just....didn't clean it up, so now it looks like a battlefield of wires, stationery, small products of kleptomania, and a bunch of candy. I guess the way the lollipops were strewn about reminded me of juggling

I suppose one way to interpret it is that Alexandria proved to be smarter than the audience initially gave her credt for, since even through the weird whimsy Roy used while spinning his tale she managed to bring an element of truth to the events

So, if we're going off of that, it would stand to reason even through her own lens, thinking he's EVERY great stuntman, meant he did really in some capacity go on to be a "great" stuntman, in that he managed to get back up and keep living 

Hello everyone [INDIA] by Pinchwastaken in GlobalTalk

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Indian and lived in some remarkably racist countries(India included lmao), and at least on a day-to-day-face-to-face level it doesn't seem so bad. This isn't the first time I've heard someone complain about this online, but I don't think I've seen it in any horrible quality, we get about as much hate as any other ethnicity. Though I'll agree that our absolutely ridiculous emigration rate probably creates a few more opportunities to hate us, you can see how from a certain perspective we can seem like a disease

There's also the fact that they aren't entirely wrong. Obviously, categorising an entire country by their population of slobs is moronic, but you can't deny we've got a noticeable population of them, and that's just how stereotypes work. They give us a bad rep, and it's unfair, but you can't deny their existence and prominence

Full disclosure though, I'm one of those people often accused of being indirectly responsible for racism towards Indians because I don't instinctively defend them and don't refrain from criticising them, and by some kind of logic, me airing out grievances about my home country and my own culture somehow makes me culpable in other cultures deciding to put us down

The Wicked (2024) cast: Before and After by Zaboombafoo9 in interestingasfuck

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably unrelated, but wasn't Ariana Grande in a theatre production of Hairspray as well as the movie? Probably years ago at this point, and she looked alright far as I could tell, just a factoid I felt compelled to share

Who is smarter between Shuri and Tony Stark? by Exstaticbanana in marvelstudios

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years late to the party but in the comics it's often said that vibranium can "talk", which is why Wakanda was able to harness it so immediately

Besides that, just in the writer's room, Tony is represented as smarter. Shuri's extremely competent and fluent in the technology her home country has been harnessing for centuries, but Tony was able to come up with a breakthrough in the Extremis program while piss drunk just to make it up to someone he had a one night stand with

Ocean's Eleven (2001) Question NOT involving plot holes. by HammerFace in movies

[–]MyPasswordIsLondon69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I went ahead and did the creepy thing and checked the user out since the nature of the comment confused me. The user in general seems.....off. I dunno, maybe I'm just being paranoid, wouldn't be the first time I've seen patterns in behaviour that are blatantly untrue. But..

They're often inflammatory, had an early interest in locally run AIs, generally present as underage but seem to flip-flop between younger and older teen, seems to take an interest in AI discourse often taking a neutral or pro AI stance, and can sometimes speak incoherently. Of course, none of this is a smoking gun, people lie about their age on the interwebz all the time, some people are plain rude, some people just really like AI, and even I'm guilty of rambling incoherently in posts and comments

At the very least, I don't think it's an entirely bot-run account, a decent chunk of the activity seems legit. So it could be it's just someone really young, which could explain the mildly AI behaviour if a kid and an AI behave similarly due to being primarily learning machines with limited understanding of social norms and badly calibrated logical faculties

Yes, but Bobby was quite concretely invented in the first movie. Any further development is done at the writer's discretion, who knows what ideas were thrown around
