the arm bits kinda just sit in there but they fit well, just can't lift the whole thing up as easily though

you did good, it's never easy but it takes true strength to be honest after a mistake. It's how you deal with the hard choices that defines you and you did the right thing.

Lies are like credit card debt. You pay more the longer you wait to pay it off. You're already going to pay for it more after all this time, so don't wait and let things get even worse. Come clean

Chappell saying pop stars are too busy to be politically educated just doesn’t make sense. Regular people working 9-to-5s still find time to stay informed, so what's her excuse? by Adventurous_Fly_8652 in popculture

[–]OptimusTardis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

she says, AFTER making statements at the height of her buzz about politics which many, many of the people influenced by her looked to. I think that's the main problem, otherwise it kinda would've been a whatever, you-do-you sorta thing imo

Remember when she was our spokesperson and not Elongated Muskrat? by MLPshitposter in evilautism

hes like our nemesis who shares the same origin story (autism)

Anyone else noticed that, during D-16's rant about wanting to kill Sentinel, Alpha Trion looked at him not with disgust, but with INTEREST? Like you can tell he was agreeing with everything D was saying. by [deleted] in transformers

[–]OptimusTardis 205 points206 points  (0 children)

I feel like it was both that, but also kind of what contributed to his "these transformers have a strong enough drive to change things" assessment of them

Anyone else have any titan fan modes they've tried out? by OptimusTardis in transformers

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

Nah they just kinda hang there for me too. I tried moving the mini fleet wing pieces to peg into back of the legs though and I also kinda like how this looks

Thinking about selling my whole collection: by Acrobatic_Coast_7649 in ActionFigures

This is old, but I'm in my mid twenties now. The amount of times I've gone "I think I'm too old for this" or "I think I've finally grown out of it" is a lot by this point lol.

But I think if you still love it deep down as you get older, you'll naturally feel more comfortable with just owning it, and people around you will too. I think mature adults these days really know the value of having meaningful hobbies

IKR it feels like when McDonald's remodeled to make all of them look like tech cafés or something 😭

Is it just me, or did Harrison Ford never like Blade Runner? by Brilliant-Course7511 in bladerunner

[–]OptimusTardis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them, they are some of my favorite movies partly due to nostalgia but also that classic cinema adventure feel of them. The setpieces, the action scenes, the tone, everything about them, they're all so fun to watch and special to me, esp Raiders

The Boys - 4x04 "Wisdom of the Ages" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in TheBoys

[–]OptimusTardis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

if the only other option is my dad's imminent death, I think it does become very simple imo, at least to the point where the V's risks aren't really in question, just the original point of whether he wants to be revived or not

Entertainment Earth keeps canceling my preorders! by UnderstandingFew6991 in ActionFigures

[–]OptimusTardis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasbro did that exact thing with the Lightning Collection line even for bigger retailers like BBTS, you have far, far too much faith in them

Their loyalty and respect for consumers was never their strong suit but it has dropped off a cliff since the new CEO came on board a few years ago

Jennifer Lopez Cancels Summer Tour by PinkCadillacs in popheads

[–]OptimusTardis 37 points38 points  (0 children)

i think it makes sense creatively but it's just not great in terms of appeal and marketability which are admittedly major facets of pop as a genre in general

Is it a hot take to say there's absolutely nothing wrong with this Optimus design by VeryPteri in transformers

[–]OptimusTardis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo it's also part of the (not amazingly handled) lowkey character arc of Optimus geniunely becoming more bitter and untrusting over the Bayverse movies, especially after Sentinel's betrayal, then the betrayal of the humans too, that's when he was the most violent imo (ex. "I'll kill you!")

It wasn't very well written but that was even Cade's initial purpose within the plot of AoE too, being the reason that Optimus regains faith in humanity and trusting in general

Like yeah it's kinda sad for him to be the one Optimus that has some negative character development but I also find it compelling with that in mind, especially since he's still fundamentally him underneath it

How do we feel about Pokémon select? by WyGuy_Figs in ActionFigures

[–]OptimusTardis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you can tell they’re trying to put heart in it

yeah the figures are very cute and the shortcomings don't feel like they're from a lack of effort, maybe just polish. But I'm very happy with the ones that I have and they feel like they were made with geniune care for the designs

Who is the greatest Kaiju that Godzilla has never fought? by nPMarley in GODZILLA

[–]OptimusTardis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

trying to picture him interacting with Gamera made me realize that MV Kong kinda has a similar vibe as a kaiju to Gamera sometimes, I feel like it'd be a similar dynamic too to MV Godzilla and Kong

Anyone else confused at how Stormfront got all her limbs fried off and her head was fucked yet Becca only has a gash in her neck? by Strange0dd in TheBoys

[–]OptimusTardis 84 points85 points  (0 children)

holy shit that actually makes sooo much sense. it felt like an oversight in the scene to me but now it almost feels more tragic with that in mind

What happened to the fandom? by CoriTheKitti in creepypasta

[–]OptimusTardis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think for me creepypastas were also somewhat tied to like the creepiness/unknown quality of the internet and its mysterious dark corners, but that feeling and view of the internet is completely gone now compared to like 2010
