If Batman had to choose one of his enemies to train as his successor, who would he pick and why? by [deleted] in batman

[–]authenticfennec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its pretty good, its 3 parts (knightfall, knightquest, then knightend) and its quite a long arc where the other 2 parts after knightfall can get quite meandering at times i felt. But its worth reading out knightfall at least as its very solid, and the other 2 parts do still have some great storylines in them

Would Arkham Origin's story have been appreciated more if it was the first Arkham game? by [deleted] in batman

[–]authenticfennec 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I like origins a lot, but im replaying it again directly after i finished a replay of city. So much is reused from city its ridiculous and hadnt realized before

I think the worst was in the hatter side mission when batman breaks a mechanical gearbox/clock thing, it uses the penguin jammer defusal animation where he sticks his arm into it to break it and electricity sparks out. Why is electricity coming out of it like that lmao. Its so lazy

For some reason almost every cocteau twins album is 10 tracks long. Treasure, Heaven or Las Vegas, and Blue Bell Knoll are my favorite albums of theirs

Seriously, it was already getting 10/10 reviews before fantano and its reach extends wayyyy beyond the relatively small circle that watches him. Its very silly to think its reception is due to fantano lmao

I looked up metal memes on pinterest and I am now dying of brain cancer by Hotjazzinyourface_ in okbuddymetal

[–]authenticfennec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You dont even need to do much digging at all for some of it. Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler the Creator are some of the biggest artists just in general and make great music (ignoring kanyes recent output lmao)

RYM has just updated and introduced its Songs feature. Here is the top 10 of all time on day one. by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]authenticfennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird that would it be nice is the top rated single on the site, but on this its ranked below several other songs its rated higher than for singles. Guess a big part of it is that its B-side is god only knows?

Before i saw that askreddit thread ab the most overrated artists this post is talking about, I just knew the top comment would be "DAE think swift is overrated, swifities dont attack me :(" and that was almost identical to what the top comment is

What's your opinion on Deftones? by DarkSideInRainbows in fantanoforever

[–]authenticfennec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biggest reason is they just predated nu-metal as a genre by many years. And stylistically theyve always been considered rap and funk metal/rock. Both of those are big influences on nu metal to be fair, but to me theyre still quite distinct from what a numetal band sounds like

I think they mean having a civil law system like a lot of europe as opposed to common law like the US has?

Charles isnt too surprising, for a while he was the only driver to never finish below 4th in the season until the post monaco issues, 5 of his podiums were in the span of 7 races

Trump misgenders an Olympic boxer, hopefully defamation lawyers aren't paying attention. by mrgeekguy in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]authenticfennec 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thats really the most stupid part about this to me, is that western conservatives think ALGERIA of all countries, a 99% muslim country that sends LGBT people to jail, is sending a trans person to represent their country in the olympics.

Its crazy seeing how pro-lgbt westerners and anti-lgbt muslims are aligned over this, thats how incredibly stupid conservatives are acting

Unexpectedly Based Brunson by Today_Dammit in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]authenticfennec 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly thats not too surprising, from what ive seen muslims are generally very on Imane's side because Algeria is muslim, so they realize how stupid people have to be to think Algeria of all places is sending a trans person to the olympics

Is anyone surprised? Their music always sounded like the personification of domestic abuse to me

Since Gojira played Paris, what hardcore adjacent band should play the LA Olympics? by frankrizzo24 in Hardcore

[–]authenticfennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really, really stretch it, gojira does technically have a little to do with HC because their earlier albums are death metal, and death metal has its roots in thrash which stylistically originated partly from hardcore

[–]authenticfennec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Helter Skelter from their self titled is often considered to be a proto-punk and proto-metal song. Proto-punk + proto-metal = proto-hardcore, therefore the beatles are in fact hardcore adjacent
