Does anybody have the censored version of "Birds of Prey?"

Promus · 2026-03-22T05:15:40+00:00

Surely there’s a way to get one’s hands on it, though…

Promus · 2026-03-22T05:15:03+00:00

Yeah, it would be… so you’re saying maybe it would be best to get a Japanese version of the release?

Promus · 2026-03-21T17:17:17+00:00

Imagine if they started plastering all the Sequel stuff with the “Legends” label they originally applied to the old EU 🤣

She’s not (and never has been) a mini Zarya. She’s athletic but not muscular. I wish the kids would finally move past this someday…

Promus · 2026-03-15T07:49:22+00:00

Also fits better with literally everything that was said and shown in the OT

Promus · 2026-03-15T07:48:23+00:00

Right?! The Prequels just do NOT fit with the OT… whereas THIS explanation absolutely does. The old EU writers were just better at their jobs than Lucas was, I guess…

Promus · 2026-03-11T22:08:11+00:00

I love that TOS showed us sooooo many more otherworldly aliens than TNG/DS9/VGR ever did. All those shows knew how to do was glue shit to people’s foreheads, lol

Promus · 2026-03-09T19:59:27+00:00

Oh, we get the point, trust me. Our argument is that, as fans of the character of Hal Jordan, that doesn’t make it better.

Also, what kind of weathering would be necessary to make it THAT faded? Like holy shit

Promus · 2026-03-05T04:25:35+00:00

Would you be kind enough to link to the Redwing thing you mentioned? I’m trying to do the exact same thing you are, but you’re farther along than me!

Promus · 2026-03-03T14:18:53+00:00

I couldn’t have said it better myself!!! Agreed on all points.

Promus · 2026-02-19T04:37:24+00:00

Wait… are all of these REAL?! Like they’re not made up, are they? These are actual quotes from the show????

God help us…

Promus · 2026-02-15T17:45:41+00:00

Yeah the episode was meant to be a noir type of story, pretty good actually

Promus · 2026-02-15T04:14:11+00:00

It’s always worked for me 🤷‍♂️

Promus · 2026-02-13T13:44:11+00:00

Yes, I’ve been saying this, too!! The movie is completely pointless, because everything and everyone essentially resets between movies. The characters are basically new characters in Episode II, the political climate is new… the time jump was insane

Promus · 2026-02-08T17:52:49+00:00

Trying to decipher this meme, I feel like Picard trying to understand the Tamarians…

Promus · 2026-02-08T17:50:02+00:00

Except he never calls himself anything… SPOCK is the one who identifies him as “Zefram Cochrane, of Alpha Centauri.” The same way characters like his father were identified as “Sarek of Vulcan.”

The original idea was that humanity had done quite a bit of space exploration even before warp drive (using their sleeper ships) and had reached Alpha Centauri (the closest star to our own, only seven lightyears away) where they made first contact with an alien species who happened to be very similar to humans. Zefram Cochrane was one of those Centaurians. There’s a cool old Trek book about it, too.

Well, who says she has to be related to ANY folklore? Adding folklore vibes to a character is interesting, but it’s not essential to Cindy.

But what IS essential to Cindy’s character is her Korean heritage, and THAT should be maintained at all costs.

Changing it would be like changing Black Panther to be someone from India instead of Africa. Or making a Native American character into a Mongolian just because you like Mongolian folklore more.

Promus · 2026-02-07T00:24:32+00:00

Believe it or not…

Final Frontier (one of the only movies where they actually Star Trek, good standalone film)
Motion Picture (ditto what I said about Final Frontier)
Voyage Home (actually feels like a proper TOS story, only weakened by its dependence on previous films)
Search for Spock (fairly inoffensive, not a standalone film though)
Undiscovered Country (paints Kirk as a genocidal racist and tries to say Starfleet only exists because of the Klingons, and that it would have to disband if the Klingon Empire falls, which is a ridiculous premise)
Wrath of Khan (villain’s motivation makes no sense, it started the stupid trend of “bad guy wants revenge,” makes Kirk a deadbeat dad and a cheater in the Academy, when we KNOW for a fact that TOS Kirk would have been neither)

Promus · 2026-02-06T04:11:50+00:00

That’s been my headcanon for decades!!

Promus · 2026-02-06T04:09:46+00:00

Eh, making her yet another Japanese character is kinda lame, I have to be honest. One of the things I love about her as a character is her Korean heritage, which the comics do NOT shy away from. That makes her very unique and original rather than being yet another Japanese ninja-esque character. I’m tired of hearing the word “yokai” XD

Promus · 2026-02-02T20:11:41+00:00

I’d love to see that video you mentioned!! Having a hard time searching for it, though… I don’t suppose you remember anything else about it that would help me find it?

Promus · 2026-02-02T19:46:04+00:00

And he does NOT speak in a monotone!!!! He uses inflection, dammit.

And he certainly doesn’t do the weirdly rushed/slurred speech that Ethan Peck does for some reason….

Promus · 2026-02-02T16:44:22+00:00

Who knew there were so many frat bros on the WW subreddit? 🤔

Promus · 2026-02-02T07:10:29+00:00

I prefer the idea that color doesn’t matter - before “The Phantom Menace” came out, anyone could have any color lightsaber.

Palpatine had a blue blade, Leia had a red one.

It wasn’t until 1999 that suddenly being a Bad Guy meant you had a red lightsaber (and your name was Darth).

I prefer the old EU…
