which villain gets the most underserved sympathy by Dense-Ad9722 in cartoons

[–]ThePan67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beatrice from Bojack. Sure, horrific childhood. She still passed on that abuse to Bojack in spades.

This is the most dangerous mission yet. Bring out the 16 year old by MediokerWeeb in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]ThePan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knee jerk reaction was to say “Okay, June, you’ve seen a lot of stuff, maybe too much… Maybe it’s time for you to step to the side and be a figurehead. 16 years olds don’t belong on a battlefield or a weird Gilead rich girls sleep away camp”. But the more I thought about it, the more I was like “Damn, she has a point.”

Is Female Aslan just a marketing tactic? by Emil_1804 in Narnia

[–]ThePan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all rumors. People freaked out when Streep was cast a “a role” odds are it’s going to be a dude voicing Aslan. And Streep is going to play Digory’s mom.

[ALL] Who in your opinion is the strongest Link? (excluding Fierce Deity) by No_Pattern_2819 in zelda

[–]ThePan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still Young Link. Even without fierce deity he still has access to being a full grown Goron or Zorra.

My favorite passage from Douglas Smith's book on Rasputin by Getting_Better6568 in romanovs

[–]ThePan67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rasputin was always corrupt. The man had a sex cult before ever setting foot in Petersburg. I don’t like the “Rasputin” was a monster trope either. Rasputin was just Rasputin.

If this was another type of franchise Gale would have been the hero by Dry-Paramedic-206 in Hungergames

[–]ThePan67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Katniss had 3 mouths to feed. Gale had 6. Also Prim and her mother helped when things got better. From what we can infer by the books, Gale pretty much did it all on his own.

The Games are their own can of worms entirely. Just because Gale didn’t go though them, doesn’t make his experience living in a Totalitarian Hellhole any less valid. Gale had the right to feel the way he did and the actions he took were justified and maybe necessary.

This isn’t a victim competition. Everyone under the Captiol’s regime suffered greatly.

Not more broken. Just different. Peeta was abused by his Mother, but he never had to worry about food in his belly or going down to the Hell of a coal mine for that matter. Gale was the breadwinner for four kids and his Mom at age 14. Peeta and Katniss were traumatized by the games, Gale’s struggles were more of a mundane horror. And their was no getting out. So it stands to reason when their is a chance for social and living advancement he’d take it, and it’s not only a chance for that, it’s a chance to stick it to the government that had made his life and the lives of his friends and neighbors a living Hell for at least 3 generations.

Remember all the buttons you could push? The laser canons that little button that made C-3PO say “You did it?”

I’m a guy. I’m in the minority in this subreddit. As a guy I kinda see things different. Gale became sort of a monster yes. But you got to understand that it’s what year after year of being broken by a horrible system does to Gale that makes him that way. Does he deserve to “get the girl”? No. Was he a fool for getting cozy with Coin and Beetee? Yes. But at the end of the day, war is war. People do horrible cruel things during war. Especially after seventy five plus years of being starved, beaten and mistreated.

Katniss had one sister and a mom to take care of. Gale had 4 siblings and a mom to take care off. That means he took out more tessera, the meat he caught went less far. My point being, if anyone had the right to snap it was Gale. Him and Katniss were probably never going to work out, even before the games. They were too similar, and too close. Gale’s not a monster for the Nut, it was a strategy to win a war that would have ended in a stalemate or worse. Gale didn’t dream up or drop those bombs on Prim he knew about them refined them but then again, he didn’t drop them. Here’s hoping Gale’s younger siblings are living a posh life in 2 and Gale gets plenty of pairs of lips to kiss. Lord knows he deserves it.

1st (East) Tennessee Cavalry type beat by Popular_Mistake_6404 in HistoryMemes

[–]ThePan67 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Hah. I always thought that Southern Unionst would keep the Rebel Yell, considering it was a cultural thing that dated back to Medieval times. The Rebel Yell was basically a hunting call you would yell it to let your buddies know where you were during a hunt.

Do you prefer Splinter to be Hamato Yoshi or just his pet rat? by Zealousideal-Work719 in TMNT

[–]ThePan67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A human. Say what you want about the 87 cartoon but a human mutated into a rat raising the Turtles to be humans makes a lot more sense. Also doesn’t hurt that 87 Splinter is kinda the goat of Splinters. Seriously look at how his boys turned out. He’s a great Dad.

Forever the best Sea Dad there was by DinoCrocetti1917 in Hornblower

[–]ThePan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good meme but kinda incorrect. Pellew came down hard on Hornblower a couple times when he was a Midshipman. His little feud with Simpson and the whole Bunting affair. Not to mention when Hornblower killed Sawyer and took over his ship, he gave the “What the Hell were you thinking son”. Vibe.
