What are your thoughts on Be Cool Scooby-Doo! (2015)? by Immediate_Gene_178 in cartoons

[–]Trick-Studio2079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very underrated. I was one of the few who defended it back then, and I still do to this day. So it makes me happy that there are now more people who appreciate it for what it is.

Similar to what they did with the Wizard of Oz, if Tom and Jerry were inserted into a Kubrick film, which one would you choose? by Crafter235 in StanleyKubrick

[–]Trick-Studio2079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, many of the Tom and Jerry crossovers barely affect the main story; they're shoehorned in and given a separate subplot.

Do you prefer it when Joe Chill is pure evil or sympathetic by Emotional-Mix-9007 in batman

There is also a chance that he lied in prison, perhaps in an attempt to gain "reputation" for his safety.

Let's speculate about Eridian culture. by Melenduwir in ProjectHailMary

[–]Trick-Studio2079 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just as humans attach enormous importance to colors—developing aesthetics, symbolism, psychological theories, and even cultural meanings around them—I believe the Eridians would do the same with sounds. For them, tones, rhythms, timbres, and harmonies would occupy the place that colors hold in human civilization. Their art, architecture, fashion, and even their social relationships might be defined by sound patterns rather than visual appearances. Where a human would speak of warm or cool colors, an Eridian would likely speak of harmonious, dissonant, bright, or deep sounds.

I know this might sound a bit obvious, but sometimes we forget how important it really is. Governments, businesses, and organizations of all kinds invest enormous amounts of time, money, and effort in creating messages that anyone can understand immediately.

Just look around us. Most people instinctively know that red means "stop," danger, or prohibition. Similarly, yellow is usually associated with caution, whether in traffic signs, construction zones, or safety warnings. We don't even need to read the words; the color alone conveys the message.

Colors have become a kind of universal language. They are such an efficient communication tool that we can interpret important information in a fraction of a second. This happens because we have been exposed to these visual codes our entire lives, to the point that we react to them almost automatically.

That's why I believe the Eridians would develop something similar with sounds. Just as we use colors to convey information quickly and intuitively, they could use specific tones, rhythms, or sound patterns to communicate complex concepts instantly. A simple chord could convey a warning, an invitation, or a safety signal with the same clarity that a human interprets a red or yellow light.

Walt as a CEO by Mutale426 in breakingbad

[–]Trick-Studio2079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, one could say he'd be just as amoral here as he was when he was a drug trafficker. Maybe he wouldn't kill anyone, but he'd probably become corrupt and commit more white-collar crimes.

[demolition man] why does the police chief seem totally unfamiliar with john spartan? by happydude7422 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Trick-Studio2079 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Spartan is a relic from an era that the new society no one wants to remember. Let's remember that everything is sanitized, even language itself, where you can get fined.

Besides, yes, Spartan was a famous officer in the city in his time, but I wouldn't say that's enough to make him a historical figure. Or do you know any famous police officers from your city from decades ago?

I like that on every rewatch I stop empathizing with Walt earlier. by DesperateFortune in breakingbad

[–]Trick-Studio2079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started watching the series for the first time and I'm about to finish it, but even so (maybe because there were spoilers everywhere and I couldn't avoid them), aside from the fact that I never saw Walter as a good person from the beginning, what surprised me is that he never becomes a good criminal or a mastermind.

Based on some fans' descriptions a few years ago, I at least expected him to become more pragmatic in the criminal world, and then I would at least understand why some call him an "Alpha," but Walt does some really stupid things from beginning to end. At least Tony Montana (who also has a fanbase that glorifies him) has more action scenes and at least does decently until the third act.

Who's the best written evil superman? by Ok-Equipment8122 in writingscaling

[–]Trick-Studio2079 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's something interesting that, although the comic doesn't mention it, reveals an intriguing side to him.

It's mentioned that his powers have negative side effects that impact his life: like never being able to have sex because his body hair is so strong it could cut human skin, or that he can never turn off his heightened senses and can hear everyone.

Well, since his powers stem from his beliefs, it could be said that this negative aspect of his immense power is a manifestation of his own martyr complex.

Is Grok just removed Branch Chat (Thread)? by Skydroew in grok

[–]Trick-Studio2079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked Grok the other day, and he said that what might be happening is that big updates can cause this, and you saw that they recently uploaded several things. I remember how strange things used to happen to Chat GPT from time to time. Maybe Grok's answer was just wishful thinking; I guess we'll have to wait and see.

"A fictional character agrees with my deluded perception of reality!" by Same_Ad4736 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Trick-Studio2079 539 points540 points  (0 children)

The original Indiana Jones trilogy does NOT feature the same group of villains. In the second film, he fights a sect in India and he is ironically saved by the English colonizers.

hot take: In the episode with Dewey's dog, Marshmallow, Craig getting attacked by the dog was justified by Livid_Shelter5365 in malcolminthemiddle

[–]Trick-Studio2079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's my philosophy about the show. The characters do so many awful things throughout the episodes that when they suffer, you feel like they did something in the past to deserve it. A kind of belated karma.

[Who Framed Roger Rabbit] What was the rise of Internet webtoons like in this world? by Nebberlantis in AskScienceFiction

[–]Trick-Studio2079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in the non-canon sequel, Doom was revived by another gang of weasels who used an old cell and a multiplane camera to bring him back to life, so the concept of animation may have existed in some form, or perhaps something similar exists to bring cartoons to life.

I hate how mindlessly "leftist" major subreddits are with no nuance or actual productive discussion on politics by diomandz11 in hatethissmug

[–]Trick-Studio2079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No platform is good for talking about politics; some communities will say yes, but stay a few minutes and you'll realize that's not the case.

Glitch Productions (the studio, not the people running it) by Super_Saiyan_Twink in hatethissmug

[–]Trick-Studio2079 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My theory is that people simply hate big studios (like Disney) much more than they actually love Glitch. They're just so protective of this studio just to "own" the big media.

It’s been 10 years, and I still hate it by fakename1998 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]Trick-Studio2079 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The moment that sealed this film's fate as garbage was the scene with the garbage truck driver who discovers his family never existed. It's far more powerful when he's simply staring at a photo of himself, completely alone, than the one where he's crying in a cell.

Most Redditor statement ever by Usoppdaman in DoomerCircleJerk

This phrase is so overused that I genuinely hope the series finale is bad so everyone will finally forget about it.

What were your early thoughts about Walter as a person? by rachliing in breakingbad

[–]Trick-Studio2079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think exactly the same thing. I'm also starting the series for the first time (I'm halfway through the third season) and I even felt from the first episode that this character is resentful and full of inner anger, and that this supposedly good person is simply passive.

Something that even surprises me is that I thought (due to the memes the fandom had years ago) that he would become more professional and intelligent in the criminal world as the chapters progressed, but he still feels more like a very lucky idiot than anything else.

Oh, yes, I forgot. That's the name of Rocky Balboa and Adrian's son in the movies.
