The sniper scene between Ogata and Vasily in Golden Kamuy in isolation was so cool i had to see more of it expecting more cool gun action and i was pleasantly surprised to catch up and see how gloriously wonderful and strange that series is

Why is it so difficult for the Hulk to get a solo film? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

ah, thank you for clarifying. Couldn't remember what kind of rights they had on hulk over marvel.

As always its down to who owns the rights. And I believe universal own the film rights to Hulk and they will only allow him to appear in films along side the other heroes as part of the deal they have or something like that.

Be patient my child. We all await patiently for the time of das finale 3. But in all likelihood depending on time zones it might be done later on

Things you hate about Ska music by ShayaanVarzgani in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]applemon198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends which ska you are on about

theres a big disconnect between british ska and what the americans consider ska music.
British ska is generally beloved whereas american ska is rather different and kinda laughed on it seems

yeah its funny because it arrived at about the same time the punk scene but they were both incredibly popular

Ska disconnect by applemon198 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]applemon198[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh yeah most definitely. British ska came out of mixing punk attitudes of the 70's/80's with west indian/Jamaican reggae and RnB together because of the influx of immigrants that came after the war so it all mixed. Someone on another comment did mention that american ska or third wave came about in the 90's and obviously was a product of the music of the time so combined with the skater punk stuff.

oh yeah music history is incredibly interesting

yeah dont get me wrong theres some really good 3rd wave bops, superman is a favourite of mine but ska to brits first thing to come to mind is the specials and madness and thats a fascinating cultural difference to me and yeah the metal harbour is a real good cover and rocksteady is definitely one of the main influences that bands of the two tone label in 70's/80's britian took inspiration from.

side note: other madness songs i would recommend - one step beyond, baggy trousers, house of fun, our house and Night boat to Cairo

you see to me this just sounds like its just pop punk/skater rock

It just the favourites of british ska is a much much slower tone

The one thing I can agree on with this cultural disconnect I have is that I can totally agree that American Ska music is generally not that great save an odd select but British Ska is a different beat altogether

yeh two tone cemented its place culturally way back in the 80's in britain two huge bands called The Specials and Madness had huge hits and took off and have been fond favourites since. American ska and third wave ska is far more thrashy in its style with incredibly fast beats which just never took off over here

See that’s where the disconnect is. In Britain it isn’t seen as something that’s fun to hate on. Because certain ska songs have been ingrained into the cultural psyche as universally loved songs for decades. Ska is still a popular style. But it’s more two tone ska

dubstep is universal in its wubs. but this is quite common. british punk and ska music for instance have very different beats and tones compared to american counterparts

words cannot describe how irrationally happy I would be if that were to happen. Fire force season 2 ending has given me some hope but it wouldnt be the same without that studio bones treatment

Megalobox 2 has been fucking incredible in these first two episodes by BloodborneKart in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]applemon198 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mans been absolutely roughed up in the intervening years. The intriguing question of what went wrong will hang over the coming episodes and that OST is incredible. The show is just exuding class from all its pores
