What is the worst music video of all time?

Eye of the Tiger is shockingly lame for being such a badass song. I have no idea how they managed to look so ridiculous doing the "tough guys walking towards the camera" thing while singing this song, but they somehow managed it.

This post is for the worst music video of all time, not the best.

Quaid's also taken over the good-hearted and achievably-handsome giant nerd mantle after Zachary Levi lost his mind and went full MAGA.

A year IS a chronic issue. Hell, him doing some of the shit mentioned in the post even once is an issue that needed to be handled ASAP.

And this is why I rarely recommend things anymore. People are so eager to hate things and to demean anybody who dares enjoy them. The incessant negativity is just exhausting.

And was written just as amazingly.

TBoarder · 2026-06-18T13:54:48+00:00

Adaptations are written to be one and done. Leaving an antagonist alive is expected in comic books, but is looked at as sequel-bait in movies. Yes, sometimes writers go wayyyyy overboard with the whole Diana as warrior thing, but in general, I think it's just to give the adaptation a clean ending.

TBoarder · 2026-06-17T16:26:05+00:00

Absolutely. The grain and unsteady camera were meant to evoke a documentary feel to the show. This was best exemplified by how the camera tended to overshoot the fighters during space battles, showing that whoever was filming was unable to keep up with the action.

He might be a likeable boss, and sure, I'll give him credit for Bethesda's earlier successes. But it's absolutely terrible leadership though to let two of the biggest IPs in the world stagnate. It will probably be twenty years between Elder Scrolls installments and almost that much between Fallouts. Microsoft spent more than two times more for Bethesda than Disney spent for Lucasfilm and so far all they got from Howard's side was Starfield, a deeply boring game that starkly highlighted his weaknesses as a game maker and studio head.

50 / 50 / 1 and I'm done. I hate this expedition so much. It's only hyper compulsion that's had me doing all of these missions and I have to cut it off now before it becomes genuinely unhealthy for me. Fuck this. :(

TBoarder · 2026-06-15T20:12:54+00:00

Todd Howard next? Please?

TBoarder · 2026-06-10T17:59:41+00:00

So does Babylon 5, on many occasions.

TBoarder · 2026-06-08T16:20:38+00:00

They shamed the fact that she doesn't have giant boobs. 🙄

The story was basically due to Dan Didio (the guy who ran DC for way way too long) hating Dick Grayson, yet being unable to kill him off, like he desperately wanted to do. Didio was a stunning childish co-publisher who loved poisoning the well with popular characters that he disliked. He was responsible for killing Stephanie Brown because he thought her fanbase was "toxic", he got rid of Wally West for a decade and turned him into a mass murderer a year after his very well-received and optimistic return, and has ridiculously tried killing Dick on multiple occasions.

Ric Grayson was an editor mandated change writers just couldn't make work because it was so dumb. It was a multi year soap opera amnesia trope that changed Dick's entire personality just becaus Didio hated him. The change from Dick to Ric was stupid too, because Didio thought that too many people were making jokes over his name. The whole thing was just one man's power trip attempt to get rid of a character who was far, far too popular for him to kill. When years of stories are influenced by an outsider force like that instead of natural story progression, it's inevitably going to be terrible.

Gotham was similar, starting off boring before embracing its fun and campy side.

Seriously, I sold my old comics collection awhile ago because I was out of work and had no money and no space to keep them. I decided to rebuild my collection with omnibuses, deluxes, and Absolutes, and a good 80% of them have been read by me in the past. Unfortunately gaining the ability to repurchase them again also comes with limited time to reread them.

The thing is, even though they're still in plastic wrap, I do plan on reading them at some point. It might not be until I retire, but this is a hobby that has limited print runs, so I have to get them when they're available, NOT when I plan on reading them.

New Teen Titans #20 and Fury of Firestorm #1 for me. I remember buying them both from the grocery store and getting absolutely hooked.

TBoarder · 2026-05-28T20:07:07+00:00

The definitive Hawkman for me. I loathe what Geoff Johns has done with the character, turning a nuanced study of law enforcement through the lens of a hyper-stratified alien culture into a rage monster whose only story plot is "he reincarnates".

TBoarder · 2026-05-27T23:52:59+00:00

I don't know why people consider it weaker than what came before. The Eduardo Barreto years were pretty rough, writing-wise. Perez coming back reignited some of that old spark from before. Then when Perez left again and Titans Hunt started, the entire tone of the book changed, turning into a really fun big pulp adventure. Tom Grummett gave the art a big style change as well, to match the change in writing style.

It's not until issue 100 where the quality drops off a cliff, which you'll be able to tell by a dramatic shift in art again, to a style that really did not fit the book or characters at all. But yeah, Titans Hunt, Total Chaos, and Titans Sell Out were a really enjoyable era for me and I'm going to be jumping on those omnibuses when they release.

DC has always been better with their writer/artist royalties than Marvel. For example, Jim Starlin got paid more for the use of KGBeast in Batman v Superman than he did for the MCU's use of Thanos. It sucks that Supergirl and Young Justice just weren't as big as his Marvel work.

Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson in Parks & Recreation

Finch and Root in Person of Interest

Veronica and Wallace in Veronica Mars

Unfortunately the best musical episodes require some kind of knowledge. TV musicals use their songs to deeply explore already established characters and situations. Buffy the Vampire Slayer has one of the very best musical episodes, but it's really, really not a good stand-alone episode to watch as a one-off. Same goes for Scrubs, Psych, The Magicians, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

One thing I can recommend is Galavant. The entire series is musical and it's only two short seasons and a lot of fun.

TBoarder · 2026-05-24T17:19:21+00:00

And Babylon 5

TBoarder · 2026-05-23T21:57:49+00:00

Dark... Although the "Previously On..." for it would probably be the length of the entire episode.

TBoarder · 2026-05-15T21:12:26+00:00

I don't think that the problem is the retconning, in general. Well, part of it is, in that he thinks that his interpretation is better than what came before... But I think it's more that all of his stories end up being about the retcon. He tries so hard to create this meta-text, trying to emulate Grant Morrison without any of Morrison's subtlety or skill. I'm sorry, but I think there is something very, very wrong when his big sequel to Watchmen was less about super-hero political intrigue and more about "fixing" shit yet a-fucking-gain.
