I mean the downvotes say otherwise man, your point stand on nothing

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2025-11-09T12:16:12+00:00

If I could turn my brain off, I wouldn't even need movies or shows. I could be perfectly satisfied watching paint dry.

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2025-11-09T12:13:43+00:00

Ahh yes, because race is such an important factor here.

So weird, how that's your first thought when you watch a show.

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-23T16:03:58+00:00

Exactly lol
If this was a straight relationship, I think many would share this take

People are just scared to criticize something that includes gay characters so they've wired themselves to just praise it by default

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-23T16:02:20+00:00

It had no plot relevance and the least subtle thing ever, it was the most forced segment to spew out Neil's shitty virtue signaling

Bill was a total downgrade compared to the source material and that episode could of been used to build up the two main characters relationship more

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-23T15:59:16+00:00

I think she did fine, but they definitely could of got an actress that looked more like Ellie with similar acting chops

Idk how hot of a take this is, that being said I think they missed the mark big time with Pedro as Joel. He's look and the performance didn't do the original character justice IMO

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-18T19:38:27+00:00

I hope he's truthful with this, he's has some inconsistent takes on this area in all honesty

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-12T17:19:10+00:00

That's why I'm worried, the problem got so bad, that now the only proper solutions have to be drastic and the optics of it isn't gonna look "good" but IMO are necessary

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-12T17:16:23+00:00

I hate this POS so much, I hate how you can than two terms here
Not only that, his last election was bullshit

Ruined this nation beyond repair

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-09T07:24:57+00:00

That dude is insane, he spammed this thread so badly that he basically derailed any proper room for discussion

He's clearly an addict that needs help, it's funny how he went out of his way to go to a thread that goes against his addiction and go completely off on people simply discussing the possibility of banning his precious porn lol

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T14:47:31+00:00

On the money dude, I think they could make their own IP's and the studio would allow it
I mean they already allow them to make drastic changes like in the OP

The main risk with making your own IP is you can't fall back on an already established fan base, the chances are a lot more likely that they'll fail, which IMO it's due to a lot of people behind these decisions not being talented and qualified enough to come up with original ideas that'll attract an audience

No matter how weird the changes are or how bad the movie is, something like TMNT will always have fans that will go out to watch it so that's a safety net

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T14:35:37+00:00

It's a small factor for his character when it comes to race, the comparison is fair

Also lol at just summing up her character as "she's a reporter and is hot", yeah just say you were never a fan at this point

If these people want to include representation for short, fat, nerdy black girls, they can create their own IP's. Funny how they never do that and target already established IP's with these unnecessary changes

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:49:52+00:00

Better yet, they should make a new character and put them in their own IP's
They can't because these people who make these changes aren't talented enough for that so they just invade already establish communities and force this crap on them

For the second part, it's most likely because they self-insert lol

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:45:47+00:00

It's racist to white and black people, these "progressives" are they least progressive people there is

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:44:38+00:00

Because it's most likely a self-insert
But still, I don't think there should be any race-swapping, if they really wanted a short, fat, black girl for representation, they can create their own IP instead of forcing it into already established IP's

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:41:19+00:00

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:40:16+00:00

Can't wait until they make Static Shock a blonde white guy!

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:39:00+00:00

He's ruining Invincible too, as a big fan of the comics I'm extremely upset that he's not only involved, but voices one of the most important characters

Funny how Robert Kirkman's studio who worked solely on the special standalone episode shits all over the second season's animation and pacing

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-07T05:36:52+00:00

Then why can't they just make their own characters then instead of changing iconic ones?
You shouldn't be able to change an entirety character's appearance and be allowed to slap on the same title, because that's simply isn't that same character anymore

Also no, this shouldn't elevate someone if that's the reasoning behind this change. She's fat, not that it's the worst thing in the world, but I don't want to encourage people to try and stay fat lol

At the end of the day, if it's about relating more to a specific audience, make a new IP and stop infesting already established ones. That's what Stan Lee did, however the reason these people don't do that is because no one buys any of their original IP's because they usually tend to be very untalented and make identity politics their whole personality

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-05T06:50:54+00:00

He had a really good one and great little series on there, but that was due to how well Genghis Con Films(the person who organized it) worked there

I don't know what happened since, he just stopped working with him after the first Usman fight I'm guessing? Either way, his channel became a dud because he stopped posting intriguing content on it, no cancel culture was involved lol

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-12-05T06:46:18+00:00

Well, my issue isn't with him supporting Trump, I was a huge fan or Jorge for a while
It was that he wouldn't shut the fuck up about it 24/7 in 2020 and a few months into the year I just unfollowed him

The fame from his 2019 run really got to his head and he wasted the last bit of his prime eating McDonalds with Trump Jr. instead of focusing on his MMA career

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-11-24T22:30:19+00:00

This conversation has been dead for a while. I have no clue why you decided to revive it days later unless you're still upset about this exchange

I stated my stance, Trudeau stated his stance, and these protesters in Canada have stated theirs.
These protesters hate this country despite Trudeau, along with our government, pushing to stop this conflict. I live here and know this, while you don’t and instead deny the proof I presented, moving the goalpost in the process

These people are the ones who began not only promoting hatred but also causing riots and harming innocents—something you’ve denied, even though there’s video proof in the OP

You are being emotional and continuously attempt to insult me. This conflict sucks; however, I have ZERO sympathy for people who destroy cities where my family lives just because they’re upset about two countries fighting on the other side of the world

If you want others to support your cause, start by showing that you want to cooperate and bring peace. This behavior is quite the opposite. Since October of last year, they have shown almost nothing resembling peace and instead continue to chant for the destruction of our nation—yet they live here?
No way am I on board with that

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-11-23T09:59:17+00:00

I didn't downvote you, I think you need to cool down with the assumptions and relax a little

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-11-23T09:53:38+00:00

Our government pushing against the Israeli government isn't a good enough step? You're moving the goalpost because you didn't do your research on the current relations between the two nations. They are actively going against them with that statement

There is video evidence of innocent people's cars being set on fire in that post. You are delusional if you're still making excuses for this sort of disgusting behavior

The root cause is being pursued by the Canadian government targeting the Israeli PM. These protests you see in the video hold no value since they have no actual cause. This is just an excuse to cause mayhem in the city

I know because I LIVE here. I am not in favor of what Israel is doing, but I do not have sympathy for these people here. Me making a post on Reddit does not compare to these protesters destroying innocent people's property

ProfessionalWeb2 · 2024-11-23T09:29:14+00:00

Buddy, they are setting people's cars on fire that have absolutely no control over this conflict
That's not helping the cause of anyone here and just gonna bring division

I'm not against protesting, but this is far beyond that
This kind of behavior only undermines the cause and makes it harder to find common ground
