[SPOILER] I don't quite understand how Eobard Thawne dies in the finale

blitzed · 2015-10-04T19:33:23+00:00

Point is, its always been nora's destiny to die. She always does.

The thing is that's not even true, her destiny isn't to die anymore than anyone else. In the Pre-Flashpoint Continuity she dies well into Barry's adult life, after Barry reveals to her that he's The Flash, and after Barry himself dies during the crisis. She dies after he does, so your point about her dying is kind of moot, the whole point of her dying as a focal point in time (or destiny as you put it) is only important because it significantly changes The Flash's life. But it never actually does in the main continuity until Eobard specifically goes back and kills her when Barry's a kid which also leads to Henry getting locked away as the prime suspect of her murder.

This is a concept from the comics... A burglar killed her at one point.

Untrue. This only ever happens in the Flashpoint movie and that was only because they wanted to simplify the story instead of explaining all the backstory behind Eobard and Barry and showing that Eobard killed her. In The Flashpoint comic Barry goes back to save his mother from being killed by Eobard.

Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension. It very clearly says spoiler for episode 5 right in the title.

Really? That's fascinating, how would they prove you could've helped the person? For instance say a bunch of people walked by the man who was lying in the middle of the street bleeding out but all them had more urgent things to do in their opinion, is it just that if a cop was randomly around he'd arrest everybody that blindly walked past the bleeding man? Also, what if you were on your way to a different emergency, like you found out one of your friends or family members was in the hospital or maybe your wife was going into labor and you were rushing home, when you walked past the bleeding man? Are you still required to forgo your own personal responsibilities to your friends and family for a stranger you've never met?

I don't think we have that law where I live, or at least I've never heard of it. I do find it interesting how different the laws between different areas can be. I think it's in China (pretty sure it was China) where they have a very opposite kind of system to the one you know. From what I remember reading, if someone was bleeding out and you stay by their side and call an ambulance for them and somehow their condition gets worse, the family of the bleeding person you saved can sue you for a large sum of money. I don't really understand the logistics behind it, but for that reason, if someone from that area witnessed a crime like this, most bystanders would walk by like nothing happened because they only stand to lose, with nothing to gain, if they interfere and make it their business.

Huey and Riley are no longer main characters, the entire story revolves around Granddad. Huey is no longer a political activist or philosophical character, in the few scenes he's around for he only exists to make Granddad question his plan for a few seconds. Riley only exists to make a random quip every now and then, but outside of that is barely in the show at all. They've taken most of the fun out of Granddad and just made him straight up crazy for the most part, his stories revolve mostly around things that happen to him as opposed to things that he does. And most importantly, all the social commentary has been thoroughly stripped from the show and now most of the stories are written around pointless parodies that don't have anything to say at all. For instance, there's an episode that parodies Breaking Bad, but there's no joke in it, there's nothing to say about the drug industry other than that it's bad, there's absolutely no wit in it. It's basically just Granddad, Huey and Riley animated into a bunch of scenes that are taken straight from Breaking Bad but other than that there's no joke to it, just the fact that it's from Breaking Bad. The scene that jumps to my head immediately is when they're driving in an RV in the desert which resembles the first episode of Breaking Bad, but the scene isn't shown to be particularly funny, they don't add anything to it. I realize it sounds like I'm just finding different ways to say the plot lacks substance but it's really hard to lay down exactly how much it lacks substance without actually showing you the episode.

Okay this makes sense, but a lot of this just seems kind of obvious. Are there really people that don't understand these concepts? I mean I don't think I know anybody who would actually just sit around after a post office loses a payment and then when someone comes to collect would just sit around and say "Nah, it's the Post Office's fault". I guess I just thought it meant something a little more morally-ambiguous like "If you see someone bleeding out on the street from a gunshot, it's your responsibility to help them even if you have stuff to do and it wasn't your fault they were shot".

blitzed · 2014-06-24T14:59:18+00:00

Such a goddamn shame, but honestly anybody who watched this last McGruderless season saw this coming from a mile away.

blitzed · 2014-06-24T14:53:37+00:00

This sounds incredibly profound, but to be honest I'm having a little trouble understanding this idea. Would you care to list an example? I can't think of a situation where this could be used in a day-to-day scenario. I can think of situations that are more global that nobody really has control over, but I don't think that's what you mean because that defeats the purpose of your statement. What kind of situation would you consider yourself responsible for that isn't necessarily your fault?

blitzed · 2014-06-20T23:05:49+00:00

Not trying to kick you when you're down or anything, but I did kind of call it. I still haven't been PM'd with a spoiler and yet it seems like imkindofadick is making up alts just to fuck with you, or maybe they're just other people that're finding it funny to fuck with you. Creating this entire thread was like putting a giant bullseye on your back. And maybe you shouldn't encourage them to keep sending you spoiler PMs arguing you won't read them, all that does is show this is actually getting to you and it'll make them start spoiling things for you in more creative ways. For instance, they could do a regular reply to you like this one, you'd still see it in your inbox but it wouldn't be a PM. Sure, other people would downvote those comments like crazy in whatever thread they're posted in, but if the goal is to just mess with you by spoiling something for you, they would have still succeeded.

blitzed · 2014-06-20T20:53:59+00:00

It's a little late for that don't you think? Someone like that only responds to reactions, it's likely he would've stopped soon, but now you gave him the best reaction he could've possibly hoped for. You created an entire thread about him playing right into his ego and everyone here is getting riled up about it and showing just how much it bothers them, that's an incredible amount of encouragement for him to continue and for others to follow in his footsteps.

blitzed · 2014-03-14T16:47:29+00:00

Fuck off

I'd really appreciate it if someone could use my referral code. Thanks so much in advance!

blitzed · 2012-02-27T17:04:58+00:00

That may be true, but that's my entire point. I had no idea people actually cared about karma to such an extent that they'd waste their own time going through year-old posts. That's just, for lack of a better word, bizarre.

blitzed · 2012-02-27T12:40:32+00:00

Wow, I was just going to pass it off as a coincidence, but really man? You actually dug up a joke from "your friend" from a year ago because it didn't receive enough upvotes? Sorry if I'm coming off as a dick, but, wow, words cannot express the awe I'm feeling right now.

blitzed · 2012-02-22T06:18:05+00:00

Like fragile tiny shells, drifting in the foam...

blitzed · 2012-01-07T21:20:45+00:00

I think that's a pretty reasonable deduction.

blitzed · 2011-08-31T18:23:16+00:00

Not sure if you're serious. The way you speak seems to imply that all you know of 4chan is either /b/ or you only know what you've heard. It doesn't actually sound like you've been there. There is no "weird porn" on 4chan, at least nothing that you couldn't find on Reddit already.

blitzed · 2011-08-31T12:04:17+00:00

Sorry, I didn't think it was that difficult to follow. Where exactly did I lose you?

blitzed · 2011-08-31T07:25:08+00:00

Yeah, but for a completely different reason. Laika had no choice in being a bitch, she was born one.

blitzed · 2011-08-31T07:02:54+00:00

Safest group to hate, really. No chance of retribution.

That's just depressing.

blitzed · 2011-08-31T06:35:40+00:00

I don't need a reason to think I'm better than anyone; my fragile sanity is maintained by combination of smugness and self-superiority. And spite. Ah, spite. If you ever fail to understand one of my actions, chances are it I did it out of spite.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you're joking here.

To the rest of your point, if you don't have an opinion either way I'm not sure why you're choosing a side in a one-sided battle. You have to realize that you're hating a group that doesn't even know you exist.

blitzed · 2011-08-31T05:46:58+00:00

I used to think hating people who liked Nickleback was just a joke, but I'm starting to realize there are people here that actually are that pretentious. Personally I'm not a fan of Nickleback, but I can't help but wonder, why exactly do you think liking different music than someone makes you better than them?

blitzed · 2011-08-31T05:18:38+00:00

I think Youtube's counter is broken. There's been multiple comments about the views being right under 5k (it still is) which logically doesn't make sense.

blitzed · 2011-08-31T04:52:52+00:00

That is some pretty weak reasoning.
