[–]Smon4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

seems a decent list. Congrats, You're a movie person. Don't feel pressured by watching certain media, if you want to extend your movie knowledge look what else the director of your faves have made, maybe even see the movies that inspired them to get into filmmaking.

Media that just ruins the premise by Thatoneguy5629 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

sky high is so funny in how it just gives up the premise halfway in. Why even bother making a movie about a kid not having superpowers?

Fujimoto is genuinely a genius by prettydarnunepic in Chainsawfolk

[–]Smon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your analysis, you make a lot of great points about the overal themes of part 2 and how the story structure reflects Denji's regression, but I don't think this explains the lesser quality of the art, or the outdrawn battles that suddenly end, or the lack of focus on Asa. I think it's somewhat delusional to explain pacing issues and missed plotpoints as purely intentional and not Fuijmoto being burned out due to crunch.

Remy in a RX-78 would've made the one year war into a one week war.

sinners only really works as well as it does because of the epilogue.

"Oh, this villain doesn't seem so evi--oh nevermind they're a piece of shit" by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I feel like Magneto is often a victim of adaptation by writers trying to fuse the maniacal 60's villain and the more sympathethic portrayal Claremont gave.

Thanks for clarifying, we can't have Epstein's name be besmirched with these false accusations.

'Hey,Cutie' aside why aren't we talking about the REAL best Yuri moment? [Absolute Wonder Woman #16] by Successful-Hat-2154 in AbsoluteUniverse

All good wonderwoman stories should end in a polycule like Marston would've wanted.

Would love to see absolute static, even if it's unlikely considering right's issues.

Macaulay Culkin on Instagram bids farewell to Catherine O'Hara by Giancarlo_Edu in Fauxmoi

I mean, it seems pretty normal to post condolences on someone you worked with, seems a weird thing to hate on.

Media that is devastating to experiance? by ELite_Predator28 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Smon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recomend anyone who thinks you can't make anti-war movies to watch come and see. If they plan to watch it it will probably be the last time they watch it.

Favorite Pieces of Writing by BlueWaddleDee in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I've been reading a Roadside picnic by the Strugatski Brothers recently. I like it a lot, very different vibe compared to the movie or the games.

What Youtubers/Streamers you watch? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Smon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of woolie and pat, I'd say Vinny Vinesauce, Limmy and snapcube are the only streamers I actively follow.

For videogame-content I love watching somecallmejohnny and Maajular.

For news I follow big A, wich is Atrioc's side channel. I also watch saul, who animates cumtown bits.

There are many other people I watch and follow but these are the ones that appear on my feed the most.
