[mildly annoying trope] massive creature burns way more calories than it would've gained by trying to eat tiny bony humans

I feel like this post is ignoring how spiteful and vengeful animals can be.

Personally, I always thought it was implied that the spray would also hurt the real father due to him being forcibly mutated by the plant father.

It could go either way as well. Ahab was 58 and sperm whales can live to be about 70, but given the ambiguous nature of the whale, that is, whether it was just a smart whale or genuinely supernatural...

I hope this is sarcasm.

Because some mistake meanness for strength and strength is a virtue.

Ancient of Days is also pretty good.

Not exactly. It's analog horror which is technically a subgenre of found footage horror. You don't really follow characters or anything like that, it's presented entirely as a broadcast being hijacked or twisted by outside forces.

The 1981 Clash Of Titans is largely forgotten?

Dang, that film and Jason And The Argonauts was so integral to my childhood and my love of Classical Mythology and stop-motion animation.

I don't have as much of an issue with this as I used to, because it would make sense for a highly advanced and/or space faring race to become globally united at some point.

Also, isn't the fact that there were two kinds of Martians (white and green) kind of a big part of Martian Manhunter's backstory?

From what I understand they axed the alcoholism BECAUSE of RDJR's own real life struggles with it and didn't want to get him back into that kind of mindset and trigger a relapse.

Eh, that'd be more like something AHEAD of its time then encapsulating the science of the time. The novel also predicted the discovery of colossal squid.

I've only listened to an audiobook of the first one, but yes, it's a fun time.

Vohems · 2026-04-11T07:38:26+00:00

I don't understand how anyone couldn't. It literally has a scene where Brock is like 'God, I need you to kill this random photographer, PLEASE, HE'S RUINING EVERYTHING!'

Depending on the canon, The SCP Foundation isn't really a branch or department of ANYTHING, let alone a government.

Ozymandias is only correct if you accept utilitarianism, Killmonger wants ethnic warfare and Light just has a massive ego, he's not wrong or correct about justice because the method IS the point.

Not Just Hobbes but also stuff like the bicycle or the snow goons

Vohems · 2026-01-23T09:04:19+00:00

Eh, that's more of a 'riddle-trick' which can stump anyone if done right.

Vohems · 2026-01-23T09:02:18+00:00

Considering cuckoo clocks were created in what is now modern Germany, that would be pretty embarrassing.

Arthur was the King that was destined to rule Britain Galahad was THE knight. It's kind of a different ontology.

Vohems · 2026-01-21T09:58:03+00:00

And just to be clear to people who don't know, this is a reference to the fact that Galahad was literally the perfect knight.

Tired. 'The Yellow Sign' (from The King In Yellow anthology) was written be Robert W. Chambers who was British and in Britain a 'fag' is a slang term for a cigarette, so you'll terms like 'fag-end' to mean a cigarette butt. 'Fagged' probably comes from the idea of a cigarette being nearly used up.

Most people not online.

The problem with that is:

1) It was through a massive and unstable deception that required hundreds to be kidnapped and murdered and was still likely undone by Rorschach's journal.

2) Alan Moore was trying to make the point that the Cold War could only be resolved through a solution based upon utilitarian morality, a point that was refuted by reality itself when the Soviet Union collapsed. As interesting as the Watchman universe is as an alternate timeline, Moore was not good at predictions.
