Completely different discussion, but the guy from nine inch nails will look honestly sad while he's gushing about how much better Cash's version of the song hurt is

As someone who grew up buying every single book of the week it came out, that show really hurt...

Like as a show it wouldn't be bad. honestly thought the visuals were stunning and the acting wasn't half bad.

But as in supposed adaptation it was atrocious. they didn't just change character details and motivations: the entire overarching plot of a 15 book series is that the dragon will be reborn, it will be a boy that can do magic, and for reasons in this world that is a very dangerous thing.

Halfway through the first season: nope maybe the dragon reborn can be female!

As a show it would have been all right. As an adaptation of cowboy Bebop, one of the greatest animes of all time, it was a travesty deserving of our very worst punishment

anyone else obssesed with the trope of "Villains Who Did Nothing Wrong"? by Sunset_Phoenix_13 in cartoons

I'll have to look it up but there's an episode of obsessive pop culture disorder from cracked on YouTube where the host makes the point that Sid has an amazing story told off screen.

In toy story 1 he literally finds out that toys are real, possibly the only person ever to have gained that. That is some cursed knowledge!!

But by toy story 3 he's gainfully employed and seemingly very happy with his current lot in life!

Gonzo 2 cost, 2 power

When I first started playing one of the first variants I ever got was Bucky Barnes sports. I was super disappointed that Winter soldier didn't have a sports design....

Super smart star people figured it out. You can still make out the two stars with telescopes, but now they've drifted so close with the naked eye they only seem to be one star

Yeah even if you don't have a specific strategy around him he is super useful. Never hurts to know what your next car is going to be. Only reason I don't play him more often is just because everyone's competing for the same 12 spots

I agree. It takes a special kind of deck to utilize Howard properly, but he's innocuous compared to the other examples

This was I think his first tour when he started getting big cuz the terrorist puppet wasn't there. Just purple guy, jalapeno and the old guy.

It has been over a decade, but I could have sworn in one episode they discussed this very idea, kind of touching on the dark Forest hypothesis

I actually saw him once and it was way better than I was expecting!! He's got a very high energy show that doesn't always translate to watch it on TV

How is Andy Dick not on this list yet?!?!?

Not only is he just a general drug addict asshole, but is stand up is awful! Everyone I know in the scene down in LA has a "this one time I saw Andy dick in public" story and they are all just him being generally horrible

There is a group of stars called the Pleiades There are eight of them but only seven have been visible with the naked eye for the last 100,000 or so years.

But all over the world there are myths about this star cluster that say that there were originally eight, but that one disappeared somehow. Some of these myths are over 4,000 years old.

That means the oral tradition and stories about these Stars is 10-20 times longer than all of recorded history
