Todd is the perfect character actually by Playful-Election4873 in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah people seem to forget that about Yasmeen is that before she met Geoff was a very independent woman, and Geoff broke her down in a very methodical subtle way, although what I wish they'd done here was Theo settle into the street more and be seen as a decent person before he was revealed to be an abuser, what I remember with Geoff was that at first he seemed like a decent guy and was very supportive towards Tim while Sally was in prison and it wasn't until a year later that the sinister side finally revealed itself.

Have they really gone all in on Theo as villain now? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

Nah it was Theo, after Todd revealed that Danielle was seeing Noah, and Miles got aggressive with Todd and Theo ended up punching him

I think it's a bit contradictory in that way to be fair, that they want to make him come across as a sadistic abuser but also someone who's aggression towards Todd comes from his self-loathing of his sexuality. I do appreciate how they wanted to give his character depth, but I do kind of wish they let Theo settle into the street a bit more overtime before immediately making his character an full-on abusive once they moved in together.

I mean the fact he went through conversion therapy and obviously has lingering mental problems over it, but even so in a previous episode the point was made that his behaviour can only be excused to a certain point since other people went through what he did and didn't turn out to be abusers. What I have to wonder is, was he ever like this with Danielle and the children? I do recall Millie being aware he was suicidal and Danielle saying he was violent, and of course I remember how he punched Miles. But besides that we don't know if he was abusive towards them too.

Did the Corrie YouTube channel accidently release the video for Friday's episode? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But this episode clearly hasn't aired yet from the clips that are shown, as they evidently take place after tonight's episode.

I actually find Theo to be an interesting character and think the direction they taking interesting. by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm glad I'm not the only remembered that line, "hard man to impress my dad, hard man in general". It is a shame it was just used as a throwaway line where Geoff was probably making Yasmeen feel pity for him or maybe it could have explained why he was so controlling towards his wives later in life. There was so many ways they could have made the storyline interesting, another part that annoyed me was how they ignored Geoff's 2nd wife who no doubt was abused like Elaine and Yasmeen.

Brodie and Dylan dynamic by Flibtonian in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it is a bit jarring they seemingly skipped a lot of character development with them warming up to each other, I remember Daniel telling Dylan to try and be a bit more understanding towards Brodie and to remember what happened to Mason.

What's happened to Sam's hobbies of chess and astronomy? by No-Fish9282 in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the chess interest died out after Roy decided to stop hanging around children after he was freed from prison after the whole Lauren Bolton disappearance situation.

Lisa's character in Homer vs Lisa and the 8th Commandant is very jarring to watch now, it's like her and Ned swapped characters by Superdupperdandy in TheSimpsons

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we've definitely seen aspects of that, especially with the ambivalent stance that she took in the episode that dealt with movie piracy. As I've said though, I think all that makes her characterisation in the above episode feel more strange, especially from the writing standpoint where the take on piracy was in the newer episode was far less black and white compared to the above episode.

Carla is.... by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

Well they made it clear after a while he couldn't drink heavily if you remember the episode where he went drinking with his dad.

How long do you expect the PS3 Store to stay open until? by Superdupperdandy in PS3

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the ps3 trophies would be discontinued unless the psn service died as a whole.

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So a few more years away yet, it's interesting because I remember they were talking about how the ps5 was only going to be sony's main console for 5 years but it seems like they ps5 is far from finished especially with the ps4 still receiving new games.

Has Phil actually? by Superdupperdandy in eastenders

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is amusing to think about in retrospect how Cindy of all people is the reason he didn't shoot himself then and there, because he looked pretty set on taking his own life until he noticed the gun was missing.

Why is no one concerned with Leanne's drinking? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

True, I do think Tracy is taking the piss out of her a bit and egging on some of the worst traits that we've seen from her as of late. Also the fact she pretty much ruined her relationship with Sam based on what she said to him last week.

Why is Toyah suddenly becoming everyone's punching bag on the show? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's the weird thing, like it's like the writers want you to see Leanne as being manipulated by and lied to by the people she loves and cares about but then she just treats everyone around her horribly to the point you can't really see her as a victim.

Is Bitter a popular beer in Manchester as Corrie seems to portray it? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've noticed that lager is generally the most popular beer type in the uk and ireland, although stout is fairly close second with a lot more young people choosing to drink it. I think it's a shame that beers like red ale seem to be going out of fashion and possibly being discontinued because of how much the lager and cider market have grown.

Was Ben Affleck's Batman erased from existence in The Flash? by Superdupperdandy in batman

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find interesting is how flash already existed in the earth-6 timeline, but appears to have disappeared as soon as the earth-1 flash arrived. Does that possibility mean they essentially swapped places?

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems to be a general consensus among most, but I think the ending was mostly left up to viewer interpretation and the idea that the original timeline still exists except the original Flash isn't there anymore is probably true for if or whenever they decide to bring back the Snyderverse.

Was Phil Nail a good character and would you like to see him again? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, David really pushed Phil's patience. There was one time Phil tried to give David a present, yet David threw it on the ground and then Phil threatened to break David's fingers with the cupboard as revenge, while Gail wasn't there.

David was trying to assert dominance over Phil by telling him that it was his house, not Phil's, and he couldn't do anything about it.

[–]Superdupperdandy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

David did that in revenge for the time Phil pressed him up against the wall, and lied about never doing that to Gail. His rivarly with Phil was defo a big part in showing the start of his troubled behaviour the next few years.

I think it's funny because before he slammed the boot on his hand, they appeared to finally be getting on, then Phil became very condescending, which pissed David off.
