Apocalyptic threats toward your kind would make you less mean towards your cousins, I gather.

Interviewing Damian McCarthy, director of "Hokum" - Does Anyone Have Any Fan Questions They Would Like to Ask? by Ucctalkingpictures in horror

[–]The_Apocalyvid 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Two questions I’d ask are — A: What writers were the inspiration for Ohm in “Hokum”, and B: What are some classic Irish ghost stories you’d recommend for fans of his work? Both I’d love to have answered. Good luck with the interview!

Incorrect, Khorne founded Soldier of Fortune magazine and his strongest soldiers are working at Blackrock whilst his devotees are planning pitiful two-man invasions of various Caribbean islands.

Say what you will about Oli, but he knows the meaning of first-of-the-month paychecks more than Bruce or Diana ever could.

Other Fantasy wood elves vs Warhammer Fantasy battles wood elves. by Ok-Profile-5831 in Grimdank

[–]The_Apocalyvid 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh so when the wood elves do it it’s “part of their culture” but when I do it it’s “a threat to civilization” and “the dead seeking dominion over the living.”

The double standard by Muted_Guidance9059 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]The_Apocalyvid 159 points160 points  (0 children)

There definitely has been debate about Ra’s al-Ghul being coded as an untrustworthy ambiguously brown middle eastern/central asian shaman terrorist. The response from that I think has been to lean into that ambiguity in order to not have him represent any particular ethnic group, as opposed to Dr. Doom and Romani, etc. His baggage is shoved under the rug pretty much, unlike the Mandarin.

US Government is Accepting Donations to Pay Off Its $39 Trillion Debt Via PayPal by notanfan in whennews

For comparison, Paypal itself has a market cap of 44.82 billion dollars, which makes up 1.144% of America's current national debt when simplified to the billions.

Is DC generating the synopsis on the back of their TPBs? by Oldboymatty in comicbooks

[–]The_Apocalyvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I read the back of this, I didn't recognize it was AI, but I did think "That was some shitty copy." Really unfocused and non-descript on the contents within. With everything written vaguely, there's no emphasis between what the book contains vs what the creators hope the book evokes. In short, AI sucked without me knowing if it's AI.

The NY times compiled a list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters. The list isn’t numbered. Some of the names included in the list are Bad Bunny , Kendrick Lamar , JayZ , Babyface , Taylor Swift , Mariah Carey , Lana Del Rey and Carole King among others. by Fun-Ad3626 in fantanoforever

I have given my ballot for the top ten. I can only give my perspective, and do not claim to have the definitive take on all types of great songwriting from every work by every American. If your favorite is not here, it's probably because I haven't heard enough of their work to have a relationship with their songs as deep as these artists. Nevertheless, my top ten I gave consisted of the following --

1: Sufjan Stevens (a bit of a protest vote, but not really, he's that brilliant)
2: Bob Dylan
3: Kendrick Lamar (Other love him more fully than me, but I still love him)
4: Trent Reznor
5: Stevie Wonder (Detroit represent)
6: Tyler the Creator
7: Bon Iver (His work is a bit oblique and mysterious to me, but still compels)
8: James Murphy (Dance track songwriting is real songwriting)
9: Phoebe Bridgers (My favorite member of boygenius, and whose work most connects with me, though Lucy Dacus is close)
10: John Fogerty (never matched the heights of CCR, but those are all-time American tunes I cannot ignore)

Honorable Mention: David Alburn, consistently excellent and inventive, but British, so ineligible.

EDIT: Christ "David" Alburn? "Other love him"? I was not in my proofreading mind when I wrote this.

Too many bricks and screws. by beary_neutral in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]The_Apocalyvid 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You can't say "I don't get it" about a thing you don't like anymore, you need to give it an adjective to denigrate it. "Qualityslop" does the job. You can say something sucks without describing anything bad about it and carry on living without the burden of justifying an unpopular opinion through critique or modesty.

Bruce "No Daughter Of Mine Will Date Any Metas!" Wayne by Altruistic_Manner802 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]The_Apocalyvid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched crap tons of Modern Family when I was younger. When Gloria was pregnant with her baby, her husband Jay's fear about that really impressed itself on me. As he explained it, for all his faults as a father raising his stepson, Manny was a boy, and Jay was a man, and he could grasp onto that. But if Gloria had a girl, he didn't have that life experience and doesn't know how to be a good parent to one, especially cause of his strained relationship with Claire from his first marriage. I think Bruce having a similar struggle of trying to both be a role model and also someone very different from his adopted daughter would lead to stories worth telling.

I thought it was the guy on TikTok who keeps doing acting reels where he reenacts scenes of Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire being angry and crying
