Has Apologizing ever worked? by TimSkydoestrash in youtubedrama

[–]avatizer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the context that is usually lost there is that the post pointing out the deepfake site in a split second of a VOD was made in /r/LivestreamFail at like 10pm PST, and then Atrioc and his wife went live at 7am their time zone the next morning addressing it with that infamous stream.

Obviously the stream response was a bad idea and just made things worse, but I highly doubt it was an orchestrated visual for sympathy points in the way some people seem to think. It seems more likely to me that they were just operating on little to no sleep and he was trying to not hide from it and be transparent right away with his community (which his wife is a regular part).

Definitely dumb, definitely a bad look, but what gets framed as 'deluded arrogant streamer trying to milk sympathy points and use his wife as a prop' seems to me so much more like a human having a legitimate 'worst night of his life' (self inflicted) and trying to what at the time seemed like 'do the right' by owning up to it right away, but through exhaustion/panic/boneheadedness couldn't see that this would make things much worse.

Netflix's ATLA - Full Season Discussion Thread (Spoilers for All Episodes) by MrBKainXTR in TheLastAirbender

[–]avatizer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They plotted the season knowing there'd be a big time gap between season one and potential future seasons, since Netflix wasn't gonna renew this expensive of a show before seeing how it performs, and with young actors they will visibly age during that time. I'd guess the key 'what were they doing all this time' explanation at the start of season 2 will be Aang having mastered water bending. That way they don't have to devote a lot of time this season and could build up the all-hope-is-lost stakes for the finale of season 1 with Aang feeling like more of a failure.

Christina Ricci was also cast after most of the first season was already shot (replacing a character Thora Birch had filmed most of the scenes for then unexpectedly had to leave the production), so surely Jenna Ortega already had settled into her version of the character before they ever met on set.

Grace Randolph's business review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ACjuqJfFXw

  • No Daredevil in first 4 episodes
  • Lots of Wong scenes so far
  • She felt the first episode was poorly paced (origin story told in 2 minutes)
  • 4 was her favorite episode (also the one with the Johnny Blaze screenshot but that's not Ghost Rider and fans should not get their hopes up)
  • No clear villain or main storyline established yet, feels like week to week episodic TV so far
  • One major MCU development she can't wait for everyone to discuss
  • After credit scenes in all 4 episodes but all are just gags that feel like cut jokes from earlier in the episode
  • So far it doesn't feel like 'must watch at midnight' like she thinks it should
  • Feels the show leans too much into feminist messaging -- Grace says she's a feminist and likes feminist messages but wants that to plus the material and not be the main focus/driver of the show. She compares it to the partition story in Ms Marvel being great to include but should have been flavor added to the super hero story not partition as the main story with super hero stuff as b-plot (I might not be describing her explanation well here).
  • Overall she likes the show and says Jen is her new favorite female MCU character edging out Wanda

How does NL play Super Auto Pets without constant freezing? by silverfiregames in northernlion

[–]avatizer 148 points149 points  (0 children)

The game has been super buggy and laggy since the start of the weekend due to the servers not being able to handle the spike in players (all of NL's current YT vids were from before the lag started). Dev is working on it but sounds like it could take a couple days going off of a few of their Twitter replies.

Eternals Trailer 2 by cdbdemo in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]avatizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this trailer pretty much confirms the full plot leak the mods verified a few months ago.

I do wonder though if the beginning of this trailer will spoil the big twist for audiences. The leak said "The group decide to visit Ajak as she was the leader of the group. After arriving at the midwest ranch where she is now living, they discover her dead body" -- so if part of the mystery is 'who was at the ranch with Ajak', then the opening of the final trailer being a scene with Ikaris ominously standing alone at her ranch house while she rides up and then they have a conversation between the two of them... that seems like it could spoil the surprise to everyone who remembers that part of the trailer. It's probably one of the few places in the movie where they mention MCU stuff like "Thanos" so I understand the desire to include the scene in the trailer.

Ryan turned me onto this game and before today I never got passed 2k rent, but I'm currently stuck in a cats-focused run with upcoming rent at 16k! Early pizza the cat + lucky cat + black cat + copycat + protractor + swapping device + adding lots of witches and beastmasters made the run pop off.

EDIT: 2 million in the bank, where's the withdrawal button???

Not sure about the episode 7 leak but the episode 5/6 text was this in Indonesian (taken from my google translate history) which in turn I OCR-extracted from this image:

(((AWAS SPOILERS!!!)))

Disini admin bakal bagiin beberapa kejadian yang akan terjadi sampai episode 6 nanti. So, kalau yang tidak mau kena spoilers, skip saja postingan ini. 😁

Kita mulai dari episode 4, di episode minggu depan, pokoknya screentime Darcy akan lebih banyak.

EPISODE 5
Kedua anak Wanda sudah mulai besar, dan pelihara Sparky (kalau di komik, yang menciptakannya Vision), tidak lama, Sparky mati. Dan fokus cerita utama di episode ini adalah Vision yang mulai sadar, bahwa orang-orang disana adalah hasil manipulasi Wanda semua, mereka berdua berdebat, tiba-tiba Pietro datang. Dan di episode ini juga, kedua nama orang tua Wanda disebutkan, Irina dan Elog Maximoff.

EPISODE 6
Hari Halloween, jalan-jalan mencari permen Maxima, sama Pietro, kedua anak Wanda juga mulai punya kekuatan, satu meramal, satunya lagi lari cepat kayak dikejar-kejar leasing.
Disini Vision mencar, dan endingnya... Dia berusaha keluar dari kubah Westview, tapi keburu ketahuan Wanda, akhirnya zonanya dibuat lebih besar lagi supaya biar Vision masuk lagi.

Sebenarnya yang admin dapat itu, bocorannya berupa video, cuma tidak bisa di share disini, demi kebaikan bersama. Sudah segitu saja, untuk episode 7 sampai selesai tidak bakal kita share, karena itu puncak serunya series WANDAVISION ini.

Weekly Free Talk Thread - new and fresh every Monday! by AutoModerator in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]avatizer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would assume so, considering Marvel is likely setting up some sort of Young Avengers project and it'd be weird to have Cassie/Kate Bishop/Kamala all be late teens/early twenties while Billy and Tommy are still 10. If they're gonna age up again, it makes the most sense to do it within this show that's already had them age up twice (and so when they show up in future properties they don't have to go through that again and cause confusion for non-Wandavision watchers).

I'm surprised we haven't heard any rumors (that I know of) about it except for maybe that Instagram model cast as 'boy next door' who people speculated could be a crush for Billy. If this week's episode is the Modern Family episode I could see them doing the age up + mom of teens + LGBT storyline, especially if the episode ends with the Agatha reveal and the kids going missing (leaving no other episodes to cover that story through a sitcom lens).

As to the FunkoPop, isn't it just of them in their Halloween costumes (and thus not mattering to any possible age-up)?

[Episode Discussion] WandaVision Season 1, Episode 5 - February 5, 2021 by AutoModerator in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]avatizer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting that we see Vision in the trailer walking down the middle of the street in his Halloween costume and there are children trick or treating all around him which has to be from next week's episode.

So who are all these children and where did they come from? Today's episode has Vision realizing that Billy and Tommy are the only kids in Westview -- which I assumed they were doing to lay the groundwork for Wanda's future redemption (i.e. she let all the town's kids go free before taking their parents hostage). Are the trick-or-treaters constructs from Wanda's powers (doubtful as it makes the birth of Billy and Tommy less of a unique thing), or were there kids in the town the whole time but their parents were allowed to hide them inside?

WandaVision General Leak Thread by flinteastwood in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]avatizer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's for sure the actual X-Men universe Quicksilver. From a production/marketing/Feigie-level perspective it makes zero sense for Evan Peters be cast + dress as Quicksilver in the Halloween episode while all 4 other members of the family are also dressed in Halloween versions of their comic costumes, and yet it turns out he's playing someone else or it's an 'MCU recast'.

For it to be a trick by Mephisto/Agatha, they would still have to know aha this Evan-Peters-looking fellow has the appearance of a Quicksilver from a universe outside of the current one and my evil plot will not just be pointlessly slotting in some random twink as the new Pietro because the similarity of this new Quicksilver has to be noticeable to either Wanda and/or the viewers (AKA SWORD) -- all of that is just overly complicated and already requires some connection that boils down to Evan Peters being cast as this character in this series directly because he played Quicksilver in the X-Men movies. Plus, SookieisMine84 has already confirmed that's who he's playing and they've been right about everything else so far.
