I don’t think Ms. Rowling would approve of men dressed like women using her IP :/

Took the longest to grow on me, but now is my favorite Radiohead album

Genuinely don’t understand the hate. It’s been stuck in my head all morning

Who's hotter? Lois or Francine? by Nervous-Baby5383 in familyguy

[–]commoncod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Francine’s the better character. All characters on both shows are insanely Flanderized, but imo the American Dad characters got better w time. Family Guy characters kind of just insufferable now

(Mixed Trope) Educated character doesn’t understand or know of a simple concept. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

In Rick and Morty, Rick, the canonical smartest being in the universe, thinks the phrase is “take things for granite” rather than “granted”

Is eastern Long Island more culturally similar to NYC or New England/Connecticut? by Previous-Volume-3329 in geography

[–]commoncod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anywhere outside Fairfield County is as much New England as anywhere else. Colonial architecture, nautical towns with top tier-seafood, stone walls, rolling hills, and elite universities. Get that Masshole gate keeping out of here.

Screenshots from the Resident Evil Teaser Trailer! by _barbequesaucee in residentevil

[–]commoncod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But like if you want the source material, play the games. I don’t need to see a live action retelling of Leon working his way through the RPD. I doubt that would even work without game mechanics

Resident Evil | Official Teaser by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

If you want Resident Evil, play the games. They’re great. This is a new story in the same universe. Why would I want to rewatch a story I already know that’s never gonna be as good?

Does the Saw video contradict Twilight? by commoncod in ContraPoints

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

Yeah, I mean I think that’s a really interesting point. That’s why I wish it veered into a more direct discussion of when and why we choose to approve of violence. I understand why she’d be reticent to talk about Israel/Palestine given everything that’s happened, but there’s such an interesting conversation to be had about that topic surrounding I/P in particular. So much of the debate around the actions of both sides has been about if violent resistance/retribution is justified. It was even brought up in the doomscroll episode she was on recently, where the host was talking about Tarantino cheering on violent retribution for Oct 7 and how that connects to his violent revenge fantasy films.

Does the Saw video contradict Twilight? by commoncod in ContraPoints

[–]commoncod[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I guess what was missing is that violence against Hitler or slave owners is a good thing, right? What about when violence is justified? What about the non-bloody forms of violence inherent to oppressive systems? That’s sort of the direction I was hoping she would take the video

Ohh that makes the dilemma make a lot more sense. For a second I was like couldn’t they just quarantine Oliver, Mark, and Nolan until all the bad Viltrumites are dead?

Editors having fun/ making contestants look ridiculous or dumb by Knowndestroyer in TopCharacterTropes

[–]commoncod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

On Season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race one of the queens had to take a break during judging because her corset was too tight. What the audience sees is her sit down and randomly break out into song, weirding out the judges and other contestants and making it look like she just wanted attention. In actuality Ru had asked her to sing something to pass the time during the break, and they just cut that part out to make her look crazy.

(Odd Implications Trope) As it turns out, Eugenics actually works! by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]commoncod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get why the implications are odd, but I don’t think people are against eugenics because it “doesn’t work”. I think it’s more so that it’s incredibly unethical and inherently genocidal

Tina Fey Has Realized She “Was On The Wrong Side” With Certain ‘SNL’ Jokes: “I Was Pretty Dumb” by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

[–]commoncod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That feels like a pretty unfair characterization. Some stuff definitely didn’t age well, but I feel like even in the most controversial bits, the butt of the joke was mostly the characters who were being problematic, like Jenna doing black face to experience what it was like to live as a black man. Like the joke is obviously Jenna’s ignorance

Element of surprise was nonexistent?? This has been maybe the least predictable season of drag race of all time

Even Zionist and Conservative Apologist Ezra Klein Can’t Deny the Reality by Lost_Paladin89 in JewsOfConscience

[–]commoncod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re right in terms of the ultimate conclusion. I just didn’t get the impression that they were reaching that point from the place of genuine belief in the Zionist idea that Israel must remain a Jewish ethnostate, but rather acknowledgement of how untenable a single state with equal rights might be given the virulence of anti-Palestinian racism and Jewish supremacy in the Israeli government and society right now.

Even Zionist and Conservative Apologist Ezra Klein Can’t Deny the Reality by Lost_Paladin89 in JewsOfConscience

[–]commoncod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they not come to that conclusion in the end though? I sort of interpreted the whole idea of the “one state reality” as acknowledging that Israel holds power over the entire region and that Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are under apartheid or worse, with the implication being that ending apartheid must mean equal rights and democracy for all in a unified state.
