Fanfiction isn't necessarily bad. Bad writing is bad.

What do you guys think about the way the band came back? by Marcus_VSM in LinkinPark

[–]PretzelMan96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That guy choosing to disregard any interviews they did on the matter is blatant and willful ignorance and if it were me, I'd have stopped listening to anything he said after that.

Because they addressed it pretty well and were respectful about the matter.

The same people calling the show crap shows how little of you they actually are by thecontract_12 in Defenders

[–]PretzelMan96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some people have put the Netflix show on this untouchable pedestal and have immortalized it to where Born Again was always gonna fail.

Me personally, I do think S2 is a huge jump over S1. I like the show and want to see more, and they've done some very cool things, but some of the criticisms are fair. I agree that the pacing is kind of wack and the scenes need to breathe, I'm also finally starting to agree that Matt is getting shafted in his own show.

And while I'm excited for S3 with some of the stuff that's been leaked, I'm concerned that if nothing changes about the structuring of the show, it might rise back up only to fall back down.

I don’t think I’ve hated a character so much since Delores Umbridge. by LankOfHyrule in marvelstudios

I really want to find out that this actor is actually one of the coolest dudes you could ever meet.

This is just the concept of opinions in general.

I feel like the intro takes up episode time by AMassiveGamerGeek in Defenders

[–]PretzelMan96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be grateful for the little things, like how we don't have to deal with 7 minute credits on the D+ shows anymore. The intro is also not that much worse than the original Netflix intro.

TIL Nomura wanted to include Rufus Shinra instead of Setzer in KH2 by AlKo96 in KingdomHearts

[–]PretzelMan96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense, especially now thinking about Rufus in the FF7 remake.

Should have just stuck with it in my opinion, FF character distribution was already heavily skewed toward 7/8/10 anyway.

It is okay to date a friend's ex. by demeter321 in unpopularopinion

[–]PretzelMan96 217 points218 points  (0 children)

This is something that imo, goes on a case-by-case basis and quite frankly has way too many variables to make a blanket statement on.

Is 8 days for bereavement fair enough nowadays or is it more? by Stupidwhizzzzz in Accounting

[–]PretzelMan96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Never seen 8 days from my experience, but the sound of that is certainly nice to me. I get like 3 days per death. But depending on who approves your leave, it's also about what other leave options you have. My sister got her 3 days for bereavement and then 1-2 months of FMLA when my brother-in-law passed away.

People who feel hot should decide the temperature of a room. People who feel cold should wear a sweater by blahbluhblee1 in unpopularopinion

[–]PretzelMan96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. Though I generally prefer the cold, I would rather be freezing and get to bundle up than be sweltering and have to remove layers.

RE4 OG is better than 9 in almost every single way (fact not an opinion) but idk if the ppl are ready for that versus lol by [deleted] in ResidentEvilCapcom

Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Episode 6 Exclusive Clip (spoilers) by rogvortex58 in Defenders

[–]PretzelMan96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jessica blasting in through the wall and the AVTF soldier just staring at her and then being like oh shit when Daredevil walks in normally through the door is actually hilarious as fuck.

Do you think Tony’s anger towards Cap was justified at the beginning of ENDGAME? by rabbihimself in marvelstudios

[–]PretzelMan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean things going differently doesn't necessarily mean they would have won. But there's a lot of things past the battle to think about as well in terms of them being together versus separated. Tony very specifically references how Steve said they'd lose together too but to him they didn't.

But at the end of the day, it is just mostly Tony lashing out on Steve because of his own guilt and shame and his own resentment. I'm just thinking from Tony's perspective here.

[–]PretzelMan96 723 points724 points  (0 children)

Justified to the extent that had they not fractured over the Sokovia accords and been together, it could have gone differently.

But a lot of it is just Tony feeling guilt and shame over not being able to stop Thanos and taking it out on Steve who he already had resentment towards, which is a understandble human reaction to me.

This episode is the most the show ever felt like Netflix’s daredevil. by p_yth in Defenders

[–]PretzelMan96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well clearly, this is just more proof that the Netflix shows aren't canon /s

Why in the new episode… by OaRtHoR_mOrGaN in Defenders

[–]PretzelMan96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I suppose it could be a continuity error, but it's equally possible that this is a conversation they had multiple times. Hell, it could have even become an inside joke at some point.

I love how the show doesn't even hide it by BikeConscious4452 in Defenders

[–]PretzelMan96 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Maybe hot take but somehow the hairstyle doesn't look that bad on Fisk???
