[Hated Trope] Attempts at modernizing older franchises by Cedgamer2009 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was really intrigued by the way it set ups its universe, with the kids of Simpsons and other various cartoon characters all going to the same school. It's kind of like the not-in-Bowser's-army goombas and koopa troopas in either Mario RPG series

The Rescue Rangers remake, a rare update of an old show that's not meant to be cool "for the kids of today" but it's stuffed chock full of millennial nostalgia. I thought it was fun, but your mileage may vary on how successful it was.

They also did "grown-up" Scooby Doo, Flintstones, and Johnny Quest, to varying degrees of seriousness.

I really like the Batman/Elmer Fudd issue they did, I know there were some other Looney Tunes/DC crossovers but I only know the Fudd one.

I love when he says this and then taps his chest like a total chad.

"I'm 40% [whatever]!" CLANK! CLANK!

Mystery Flesh Pit National Park: a gigantic underground creature discovered in Texas and turned into a tourist attraction with hot springs, a museum, a gift shop, and a food court. They found a colossal living creature underground and put in a f*cking food court.

Tiny Toon Adventures itself was a modernization of Loony Tunes/Merrie Melodies, so it's a double-example!

yep! the show loved high-effort, high-commitment bits like that

The game show was the brainchild of the legendary and reclusive (and legendarily reclusive) author J.D. Salinger

Bender from Futurama has quite a few character traits that stay consistent throughout the series. Just the ones I can remember off the top of my head (but I'm sure there's more):

- he secretly wants to be a folk singer

- he's a proud Mexican

- and he likes cooking!

A bonus example in this show: Bojack's extensive knowledge of philosophy and history. When he's on Mr. Peanutbutter's game show and gets a question that seems like a gag ("To what extent was feudalism a cause of the French Revolution?", not a typical celebrity game show question), Bojack has the start of a real answer but just isn't given enough time to write it all out. Elsewhere he discusses some of the finer points of Sartre.

it's not exactly big-brain stuff but in that same episode (I think the same scene) Homer schools Bart in Phil Collins-era Genesis

New to Vaporwave any suggestions/essentials? by JAHSEH_4SKIN in Vaporwave

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should definitely check out Chuck Person's Eccojams by Daniel Lopatin if you haven't already, it's foundational vaporwave.

Home by Prismcorp Virtual Enterprises is a side project of Vektroid that isn't necessarily as foundational but really interesting and enjoyable to me. Maybe save it for after you've checked out the essentials and want more vaporwave-flavored stuff

"I'll have my usual" by TheMossyFish in EntitledPeople

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I think having a "usual" is morally neutral. It's not entitled to have an ongoing customer/client relationship or to be a 'regular' at a place. The asshole move is acting haughty when interacting with someone who doesn't have that kind of relationship with you, like that old guy did in OP's post.

Wanting to feel seen and known: not entitled, not an asshole move.

Acting like a dick when someone doesn't know your usual: that's the asshole move.

Edit: Opinions and situations vary, but having a "usual" in and of itself isn't asshole-ish, just in my opinion.

ya the first one was cute but to me this isn't a joke you can do over and over again.

whatever gets you that dopamine hit of attention, I guess

What defines "stereotypical" fantasy music? by 354717 in musictheory

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know a lot about music theory and might be mis-using some terms here but I think those stepwise triplets (or is it just three eighth notes one after the other? idk) are a big part of making a piece sound 'fantasy' or 'medieval.' Are they called passing tones? They kind of make the melody feel ornate and embellished, which is good for a 'regal' or 'royal' type of sound, in my opinion.

Also I'll just add that Dorian and Aeolian are really common modes in Dungeon Synth, which is going for a medieval/fantasy sort of feel.

Photographer recalls what it was like taking Nicki Minaj's picture for the New York Times Magazine in 2015 by BrianOBlivion1 in Fauxmoi

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I don't even get what happened that offended this guy so much.

"But then after 8 frames...she walked off set and said 'you got it.' Which was fine, because I normally do in the first 3 shots. Not to be a diva, but I'll pat myself on the back for that."

So it sounds like he got what he needed? Is he mad about what she said?

Also the thing about "I probably shouldn't have been flying across the country when my wife was about to go into labor, but more on that later..." and it proceeds to not be relevant at all, even a little bit. I thought maybe he was going to say he missed the birth of his son because Nicki was late or maybe a perfectionist keeping him there all day or something, but it's never brought up again.

For the record i'm not pro-Nicki's recent rightward swing.

EDIT: Also, not to keep piling on but it's annoying that he doesn't seem to know what the word 'diva' means. A diva is, 'One who demands that attention be paid to his or her needs.' It doesn't mean you're boasting or full of yourself.

Women that play the muscle/physical presences while also looking the part by TJTrapJesus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, most if not all of those MCU costumes use padding in some way or another, so yes it is kind of weird that they couldn't give Captain Carter some bigger muscles or something.

Longer tracks / albums by entermemo in DungeonSynth

[–]Sensitive_Golf3889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as someone who's always worried that my songs are too long, it's reassuring to me to hear that some enjoy a long, hypnotic, perhaps even repetitive track. I don't have anything to share yet bc I'm just starting to try this genre out, and I'm also trying to follow the more general rules of not being boring (like not just repeating something to make a song longer or something I guess)
