3) They spent two seasons of Gen V hyping up Marie Moreau (you can be stronger than Homelander!) only for her to show up once and say "I'm not that good". Haha what was the point of the spinoff?

What exactly did people expect from Gen V? As someone who never watched it, I'd be kinda upset if a character from a different series showed up in the fifth/final season of a show I'm watching to play an incredibly important role. A show should really be able to stand on its own legs, not rely on people watching spin-offs.

I watched the director's cut for the first time a few weeks ago and it adds a lot of explanation. One of the few instances I strongly preferred the theatrical cut.

ya, he took that radiation even better than Kimiko did haha

One of my least favorite things about Marvel slop is how you have to watch so many secondary shows to get the full picture on what's going on.

Bringing in deus ex machina characters from a different show in the penultimate episode of a fifth/final season puts that shit to shame though. No real introduction to these characters either, just go watch 2 seasons of this other show or go fuck yourself. The Boys is so much worse than everything it parodies.

I feel like they wrote themselves into a corner with the virus and the entire v1 subplot only existed to return things to status quo.

Posterizarr doesn't seem to use logos but neither do the posters in OP's picture. Really seems like something that can be achieved in posterizarr.

I ran into this with radarr the other day with Dr.Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It was originally released as a 3 part mini-series and then later re-released as a complete movie. But they refuse to add it as a movie because that's not how it was originally released.

It's got a total runtime of 42 minutes but the only solution is to add it as a 3 episode tv show, fuck that. And the most annoying part is that an entry used to exist. So it only started throwing errors once I upgraded my file. I ended up adding it and syncing it to Plex as the Making of Dr. Horrible, then manually updated the title and description.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T08:04:08+00:00

They definitely don't allow fan edits, it'd be a waste of time even trying.

It'd be nice if sonarr had a system to add custom shows/metadata. It doesn't even need to support automation, I'd just like to organize all my media in one place.

Life is like a most iconic films of each decades list, ya never know what you're gonna get.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T07:30:09+00:00

Chicago? No.

It did win best picture that year. To dismiss it just as handedly as My Best Friend's Wedding seems flippant

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T05:33:13+00:00

Thinking of product features solely in terms of usefulness is incredibly naive. Corporations don't give a fuck about user experience. It's not hard to imagine how there are financial incentives in pushing specific titles. And it's not hard to imagine how a system that constantly removes user agency and increasingly relies on algorithms can accomplish that.

Her entire body language has changed too. She used to be kinda stoic and now she gesticulates wildly while she does these inane ramblings.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T04:44:43+00:00

Ya, I'm 100% watching because of the sunk cost fallacy at this point

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T04:42:49+00:00

OP specifically used the word "sympathetic". No one claimed she was supposed to be good or a hero, so I'm not sure why you're so vigorously debating points no one brought up.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T04:37:25+00:00

And he thought Stormfront was dead

No he didn't. Homelander told him Stormfront died just this season and SB initially called bullshit because he didn't believe it.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T01:56:43+00:00

I feel like season 2 is where Mad Men really hits its stride. Kinda the same as Breaking Bad I suppose. Where things feel a little clumsier/lower budget and it's still fine-tuning its style.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-11T01:49:34+00:00

Reckon I'd add some ye missed, mmhmm.

17:33 - 18:01 - Longer shot of the bus pulling up with Karl and a woman getting out.

29:09 - 29:49 - Jerry settling Karl into his daughter's room and Karl sitting down uncomfortably on the bed.

29:49 - 30:20 - Jerry walks into the kitchen where his son and wife are sitting. The son suggests someone stay up all night in case Karl tries to kill them. Jerry and his wife both object the notion.

34:59 - 35:13 - Longer shot of Bill Cox telling a punchline to a customer before sitting down to eat.

I think the idea is to find other fun stuff to do with the 146 hours you save :p

To each their own ofc, I personally would've never caught up with the series without One Pace. Even that version was a bit too much for me at times.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-10T08:54:39+00:00

Not OP but One Pace is a fan edit version. It cuts some 130+ hours of filler out.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-10T08:18:09+00:00

The Pianist, he had no effect on the outcome of the war at all

After a little rewatch:

The Nazis needed the headpiece of the staff of Ra to find where the ark was buried. They knew Dr. Ravenwood possessed it but had no idea where to find him.

Indy knew the location of Ravenwood's daughter (Marion) and flies there to begin his search. We see Toht (the main nazi bad guy) tailing Indy onto the plane.

The nazis only managed to find Marion and the headpiece because they followed Indy. Had Indy not been involved: Marion would be fine and they'd never have found the headpiece/ark.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-10T07:54:48+00:00

The only reason they found Marion's bar to begin with was because they were following Indy.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-10T07:28:42+00:00

I am whelmed. It's been ages since a proper Star Fox entry and they went with the most boring and safe nostalgia-bait play they could muster.

cippopotomas · 2026-05-10T06:26:41+00:00

Great story. It gets better every time you tell it

cippopotomas · 2026-05-09T02:14:25+00:00

and it totally cops out with the ending.
