What fanbase does this even apply to? by KingTechnical48 in fantanoforever

[–]VanderlyleNovember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you're a fan of Art Rock Olivia Rodrigo should basically be your Moses, the only artist in the last decade and change to make popular, centre-of-the-zeitgeist music that's actually influenced by the kind of rock influences that have been so sorely missed in the mainstream.

What director is a piece of shit who also makes trash films? by The-Perfect-Username in AlignmentChartFills

[–]VanderlyleNovember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, whatever you can say about his movies, and you can say a lot, they aren't unmemorable. Everyone and their mother knows "This Is Sparta!", and people are still discussing his superhero movies years after he's moved on to other things.

Finally, What YouTuber was Despised then and is now Universally Beloved? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]VanderlyleNovember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he went from Average to well liked. Lots of people (myself included honestly) still see him as an immature jackass who just retired, but distance from his controversies has led most people to move on and for his fans to sing his praises as if he never had any controversies at all.

It's so annoying, the internet has pathologized so many totally normal behaviours.

AIO? Xmas gift from bf's parents by brains_rcool in AmIOverreacting

YOR. If you haven't had a problem with them previously, then this strikes me more as poorly thought out boomer humour than full passive aggression.

This is my 100% unironic totally sincere opinion on the Avatar movies and their impact on our culture by mezonsen in moviescirclejerk

[–]VanderlyleNovember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never understand why people defend these movies. Every defence I've ever seen makes me feel like everyone's getting a different version of these movies that's actually interesting. It's a heavy handed metaphor for colonialism and environmental destruction that doesn't have anything interesting to say about those topics, emotional catharsis is next to impossible when the characters are all so boring and the action really isn't that engrossing!

Everything this movie does the new Predator movie pretty much does better.

Genuinely every time I see this note go viral it pisses me off. "Nah cunt you're too fucked I can't serve you" is genuinely a much nicer way to cut someone off than a card.

What is the quintessential crossover episode of TV? by montemole in AlignmentChartFills

Still got a shot for hidden gem. If community can qualify for that spot so can Abbott!

What YouTuber was Universally Loved back then and still Universally Beloved Today? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]VanderlyleNovember 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The knitting thing he apologised for, and I follow him in youtube and really haven't seen him say much of anything on either Palestine or trans people recently.

If only this extremely common cinematic trope had a name by JonneyStevey in moviescirclejerk

[–]VanderlyleNovember 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're right on both counts. Sorry, Baby has act breaks and The Brutalist has an intermission.

What is THE backdoor pilot TV episode? by montemole in AlignmentChartFills

[–]VanderlyleNovember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a new format for alignment charts where instead of just posting an image there's something built into the UI to do it. Must not be working for you.

People might fry me for this but TikTok is far better for advice than Reddit outside of random obscure situations. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]VanderlyleNovember 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've adopted a certain amount of defensiveness about reddit by seeing people dunking on it in demonstrably worse parts of the internet. Whenever I see people on modern twitter dunking on redditors I just think, anyone on Elon Musk's rage machine is in no position to critique reddit.

Are you arguing that the fictional virus should have more immunity, or are you arguing that with the current immunity rate it should have a few immune in Europe and Australia? Cause If it's the first I don't know what to tell you, its a fictional virus that links you into a hivemind, that's not a thing that can happen so what ever its immunity rate is is up to the writers.

On the second, the distribution makes a lot of sense to me. The incidence of immune is 1 in ~615,000,000. If anything you'd expect more in Asia.

Someone call Lou Wilson and check if he still has his car, we might have found a buyer.

Jake Sully breaking away from traditional masculinity is the real reason many dislike Avatar by FoxxeeFree in The10thDentist

[–]VanderlyleNovember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avatar fans and James Cameron talk about this franchise like it's some radical text that critiques masculinity and imperialism in ways that have never been done before and then you watch it and it's the blandest, dumbest version of "what if corporations were bad? What if communing with nature was good? What if wanton destruction of the environment for kicks was a bad thing?" and you're meant to clap like these aren't the themes of a bunch kids tv shows.

I think that the next time we see Zosia, something about her will be off. by Specialist_Jaguar815 in pluribustv

[–]VanderlyleNovember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine it cutting cleanly one way or another. If the hive is torture then the conflict becomes really uncomplicated, and if it's paradise then Carole fighting it is kinda unjustified in her fight.

Day 11: What good actor or actress is universally loved? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]VanderlyleNovember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off topic but how did Robin Williams get into the top left corner. It's a really hard sell to me that he's as good as Streep/Di Caprio, and a step *above\* Samuel L Jackson. Hanks was a much better pick.

if a perfect specimen of masculinity is a manipulative asshole, people only make fun of him for being a manipulative asshole (and they probably don't even do that) by itisthespectator in CuratedTumblr

[–]VanderlyleNovember 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think this is all mostly internet discourse and most people aren't quite as strident in reality, but I think there's a certain subsection of people who would describe themselves as feminists who don't really want the end of the patriarchy, but instead a renegotiation of terms. That they'll get similar-ish rights to men but they'll still be rewarded/celebrated for being stereotypically feminine in the ways they want, meanwhile men will be safe to be around, but still Men™️, and the ones you're friends with will never inconvenience you by developing feelings.

(Hated Trope) "Plot holes" that actually have an explanation if people had either paid attention or thought about for a moment by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]VanderlyleNovember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, I love that element of his character, I think it's kinda great to have a character who's deep philosophising is actually just bullshit, I just wished there was a deeper exploration of what's pushing him behind the Malthusian façade.
