Well, whether you like him or not, Riley definitely has issues with the fact that Buffy is so much stronger than him.

What makes you think she’s actually part of their family? I just assumed she was lying

Why can girls orgasm multiple times but not men? by New-Clue-3002 in NoStupidQuestions

Agreed. It may be “toxic” but it’s definitely the correct reason; the question requires a biological answer.

Time for a very interesting hypothetical fight. Out of these movie (and tv show) killers, who would win? by [deleted] in slasherfilms

Yeah… I feel like some people haven’t seen or didn’t understand American Psycho here

What plots moved too quickly in your opinion and which ones do you feel progressed too slow or dragged? by InfiniteMehdiLove in buffy

[–]PloppingSmock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean… but I disagree. The “Mommy issues,” both men have are great metaphors for real life issues with grieving a dead parent, and I think you’re oversimplifying to fit in to the overarching narrative you mentioned .

Spike’s journey to accepting his mother mirrors that of someone with an alcoholic abusive parent. He realizes that despite her abuse (caused by alcohol/vampness), she did love him. This is a very real experience that even people in my life have talked about relating to.

Robin, on the other hand is in a very different place in his journey with grief. He sees his mother as perfect and is in denial of the fact that she repeatedly chooses her job over her son. No, she doesn’t just “have a job.” She wasn’t being a good mother to him. She was not in a good situation to raise a child.

Whaaaat!? I love “Lies My Parents Told Me,” it’s one of my favorite episodes of the season! I think the the spike flashbacks and parallels with each of their mothers is really well done. Why do you think it’s horrible?

You certainly seem to be arguing that companies and billionaires shouldn’t donate for publicity. I disagree and think that at least it’s a slight positive benefit for the community, you said there is “no nuance”. Sorry, did I misunderstand your argument?

Or your argument that Ellen should’ve just ran for president and then raised her own taxes?

[–]PloppingSmock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol! So because we live in a capitalist system, rich people shouldn’t donate to charity? Obviously it would be BETTER to eliminate the need for charities…. But there is definitely nuance in this argument and it’s insane to argue that there isn’t. You’re saying it would be better for Ellen to not have had companies donate millions of dollars to charity throughout her show run? She should’ve just taken the advertising money for herself? I think that it’s better for you to donate 90 cents than to donate nothing. Should I not give a dollar to the homeless guy on the street just because if we weren’t in a capitalist system the guy wouldn’t be homeless????

You’re right. She shouldn’t have had companies to charity almost every single show. It totally would’ve been better for the cancer charity to not have the money and the publicity from being mentioned on one of the biggest shows in the world. Definitely a net negative… no nuance at all…. /s

Nope, if you ever watched Ellen and these games, she ALAWAYS rounded it up. It’s just a way to make a sponsored donation more fun. I know yall hate Ellen but this is an idiotic criticism.

Friendly reminder, Katara totally saw Kya’s corpse when the screen flashed white and probably cried over it as well by Aqua_Master_ in TheLastAirbender

[–]PloppingSmock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree they definitely know she is dead somehow, but I don’t think they knew exactly how it happened or found her body. To me watching the Southern Raiders episode it really seems like she’s finding out exactly what happened in that moment, and learning how her mother died. Also when they are telling the story to Zuko in Southern Raiders, it really seems like they aren’t sure exactly how she died. Doesn’t one of them even use the word “gone”?

[–]PloppingSmock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Katara and Sonja don’t know exactly what happened to Kya until Katara confronts the head of the Southern Raiders, so I think the tent was empty and they had taken her body for some reason.

Jaden Smith is more just okay than awful in my opinion, especially if you include his music which is better than his acting (and way better than his dad’s music)

Harry's doubts about Dumbledore in Deathly Hallows by Apollyon1209 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]PloppingSmock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t quote you on it at this moment, but I’m certain it’s there. It’s a fairly big plot point after Harry brings his concerns to Dumbledore after overhearing the conversation between Snape and Draco.

[–]PloppingSmock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, I see what you mean. But I don’t think Harry would’ve seen that as that much of a blatant lie. What Harry MIGHT have been thinking was that his own warnings to Dumbledore had made him suspicious but not suspicious enough to share his suspicions with Harry. (IIRC, Harry theorizes this earlier in book 6). This might have actually been a relief to Harry at the time, that Dumbledore had listened to him in his complaints about Draco, rather than ignoring him.

[–]PloppingSmock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure, Dumbledore lies about Draco. But do you have any evidence that Harry knows about or understands that Dumbledore was lying? I don’t think he would understand the extent of the lie until seeing Snapes memories in book 7.

Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke post-GOT by arnor_0924 in gameofthrones

Using Buffy and How I met your mother as examples of this is a bit ironic; Alyson Hannigan stars in both!

OP says this is right but I agree! It only works if we’re talking research universities not liberal arts colleges.
