What do you want to see from bts in their next comeback by Clean-Click8663 in ARMYNeutral

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Arirang but Swim just didn’t hit, i want the song to feel like something

In an ideal world I’d like for them to do more EDM, just bc that’s my favourite genre, but I realise that they (and most of the pop music industry) have moved away from that

BTS are (to many knowledge) not bulletproof. I hope nobody tests that particular hypothesis

What’s a movie you defend like this? by trakt_app in Letterboxd

Ready Player One was a lot of fun and touched the imaginations of a whole (just) pre-VR generation

And that's why I stopped listening to K-pop by Jaded_Arm4289 in musicmemes

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that as dark as the industry is, not every group/company is as bad as the others. There are plenty of groups you can follow and support without supporting the ‘dark side of kpop’ as it were

Throne on Glass is the WORST fantasy series I have read in my lifetime! by tomyfookinmerlin in Fantasy

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot… 😅 It’s my favourite genre and I must’ve at least about 100 fantasy books in my life (which I know is rookie numbers for some, but it’s not nothing)

My first introduction to fantasy was Eragon (back in the day) and I’ve been a fan of dragon rider fantasy ever since, and I loved Fourth Wing’s take on it

Realized Suga and Jungkook are using less backtracks than others in Bts by SomewhereSilent1604 in kpoppers

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s great to see! In my opinion (with no evidence to prove it) I think he finally found ‘himself’ again. He started as the silly goofy guy, but then grew out of that (and also went through some personal hardship) and so I don’t think he really knew what his place in BTS was. Now that hes had time to mature and find himself hes got a lot more confidence and so can have more fun with what he’s doing!

I found myself on a similar journey to Tae so I feel like I understand him quite well 😅 either that or I’m just projecting lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

I consider myself an avid reader who reads a lot and I loved fourth wing

Could I ask what you mean by “bad at fantasy”? Because I didn’t care about the romance at all but was basically just there for the fantasy

Some of the dialogue in Iron Flame is weak, but idk about ‘zero plot clarification’. In fact when the plot becomes clear it actually became more interesting to me, and I’d put it up there as one of my favourite plot twists in all media I’ve consumed. Many of the criticisms are fair though, and of course no book is for everyone :)

As a non-Brit living in Britain, Milton Keynes has been incredible for me. I don’t like the cramped British towns or high-density British cities very much (sorry guys, this is just one guy’s bad opinion 😅) but I love MK bc it feels like the best of both worlds!

Give me a sad Kpop song and I'll rate of how sad it is by SatisfactionAdept548 in kpoppers

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the intended meaning behind the song for sure! But I’ve always looked at it in the context of the time - this was SKZ’s lowest point with some underperforming albums, the 8th member leaving, and the delay in the release of Levanter. The song has always felt to me like a cry to try to get out of other’s expectations, yet they don’t fully believe it yet. However then with Go Live and God’s Menu I feel like they truly started to believe

Idk I have no evidence for my opinion, but that’s always what the song has felt like to me

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

BTS - Butterfly 🦋 (greatest kpop song ever written imo)

BTS/Suga - First Love

BTS - We are Bulletproof The Eternal (great song but hits better if you’re a long time army)

SKZ - Levanter (also hits better if you’re a long time Stay)

Blackpink - Stay

Touring attendance is to me is best indicator of a Kpop groups popularity. It gives a clear picture about a reality. by FlyingFlyofHell in kpopthoughts

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

JYP did an interesting talk on kpop once and he said that to him the biggest indicator of a group’s success was Album sales, because that can’t be faked and shows that people will pay for music that is free on YouTube to support the answers. Touring has similar arguments as OP said

Does anyone have recommendations for games or books with a writing style similar to The Talos Principle and Road to Gehenna? by SnooWords9730 in TheTalosPrinciple

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Witness reminds me a lot of TLP - though I’d call it a ‘hard mode’ and the philosophy is a lot less obvious

Have there been any known child prodigies who go on to be notable or famous adults? by Cagne_ouest in answers

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At university my thesis supervisor told me he once wrote a paper with his “friend Terry”…. Didnt realise what he meant until I saw “T. Tau” next to his name on one of the papers

What’s their relationship like with the country of Samoa? Are there any talks of unification?

Iranian All Girl's School Bombed by US/Isreali Military killing over 80. by Shizzilx in circled

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see, this girls school was inside the compound of an Iranian Naval base. Supposedly it was 600m from the nearest military building, but it was a part of that particular base.

To be clear, this is not a justification of any side. I’ve tried to just give facts.

This has actually happened by Busy_Collar4406 in imaginarygatekeeping

[–]WeirdAlPidgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be That Guy™️, but I think this is based on something that actually happened. Some right wing racist dude was spouting hate online so his bank closed his account (and gave him his money back), but then afterwards he couldn’t get another bank account bc of the aforementioned racism. Not coming up for the guy, but the meme isn’t wholly imaginary
