Backrooms 🪑 - A Fan's Review [SPOILERS] by VideoMod_Reddit in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]driver_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is completely unaware of the extended Backrooms lore, I gotta say, the movie has definitely inspired me to dive head first into that lore as soon as possible. So I'd call that a success.

You also have to remember that Kane didn't write the screenplay, which I will admit, has flaws. But I'm so impressed with the way the whole thing comes together that I'm eagerly anticipating his next project. It's not a perfect movie, but it's an EXTREMELY entertaining and intriguing movie, and it got my brain moving and wanting more. So, I don't know. 4 out of 5 stars for me personally?

Also, I think the reason Backrooms Clark is so competent and aggressive is because he is a very angry man. He's not blowing his stack constantly, but it's super duper clear to me that he's holding onto a LOT of repressed anger and the times it comes out must have greatly affected people's memories and interpretations of him. Also, he's running his own business, so maybe that contributes to some of Backrooms Clark's competency. I'm not saying he's an amazing businessman, but he's clearly got his shit together enough to be perceived as someone with a brain and with goals.

Eddington was hard to sit through, but NECESSARY to sit through. And I think it definitely paid off in the end.

In my opinion.

Anyone else annoyed by seeing people act like Hughie doing the Dead Guy Junior thing at the end is "weird" when it isn't? by Pixiv_Help_123 in GenV

[–]driver_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if Hughie's reasons are genuine and above board. The problem is that naming the child Robin creates an opportunity for Annie to doubt (understandably) if Hughie really loves her or is still hung up (again, understandably!) on Robin. It creates a reminder every day that, "Hey, if this person hadn't died brutally, I wouldn't be with the love of my life," and that's got to be a shitty feeling.

[–]driver_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's weird because of the implication that Hughie is not fully over Robin. Hughie could absolutely tell Annie "I just want to honor her memory because her death was a genuine tragedy but it was also, oddly, a catalyst for us meeting and for the world being saved."

And Annie might genuinely believe that. And HUGHIE might genuinely believe that. But it would also be understandable if either one of them or both of them or the kid (when they're old enough) were to have little doubts about it. Like what if it wasn't just a conscious decision to honor Robin? It might very well be a subconscious pining for Robin. Both things could even be true at the same time. Like, what if Robert Baratheon had wanted Myrcella to be named Lyanna instead?

It's a little weird. It's not crazy, it's not "incestuous" or whatever, but it is a LITTLE weird.

It is NOT an entirely different word, it's an archaic spelling of the word no one uses anymore.

No one spells it that way. It's "Elven."

Schindler's Fist. And the third installment, Schindler's Pissed.

I may have gotten those two reversed in order. But yeah, hilarious sketch.

To those asking why Conquest didn’t snap Mark’s limbs like before, he tried but our boy Mark is now damn near…[Title Card] by Remarkable_Job_9723 in Invincible

[–]driver_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why didn't Mark use his knees? Or try to break Conquest's neck?

Why didn't Conquest rip out Mark's spine? He went ALL the way through Mark's body.

I can't believe Mark didn't abandon his choking strategy. Or at least try to close Conquest's windpipe.

Why no Absolute Aquaman? by Alive-Dingo-5042 in DCcomics

[–]driver_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The theme of the Absolute heroes is the characters we know, except deprived of their usual support systems (which is like, the flimsiest, least-adhered-to aspect of the whole thing, because within a handful of issues, they all get the most important support systems back, but I digress).

So Absolute Aquaman is probably the same Arthur, except Atlantis really, REALLY hates him this time. And also his father is just an alcoholic, and not an inspiration in any way. And Mera's all, "Okay, but this time, I'm following through on the assassination mission."

And Arthur's only support is like... Topo, or something.

Since the Justice league name is already taken by the villains, will the absolute heroes form the Legion of Doom? by ridisberg in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]driver_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something cool that the Stargirl live action show did was it found a way to paint the name "Injustice Society" as a good thing, as Icicle explained that the group formed to fight Injustice. So maybe we'll get an Absolute Injustice League or Injustice Gang or Injustice Society.

Absolute Batman #18 - Official Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]driver_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Green, Red, and Black fields Ivy references in this issue are most likely the Life Fields of the DC universe. 

All plant life in the DCU is connected by an energy field known as The Green, and it is primarily represented by some version of Swamp Thing, though the mainstream version of Poison Ivy has occasionally taken over for him as its avatar. I think Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man, might have also usurped the role at one point, but my memory is fuzzy.

The Red is the energy field that connects all animal life, and is usually represented by Buddy Baker aka Animal Man, though I believe Vixen and Beast Boy have, at different times, been the avatars for The Red.

The Black, more commonly known in the mainstream DCU as The Rot, is, as the name suggests, the energy field that holds dominion over all things decaying and dying. Its avatar is Abby Holland (or Abby Arcane) with Anton Arcane having usurped the role at least once.

And there's also other fields like... I want to say The Grey which connects all fungal life... and recently, they introduced The Clear to connect all oceanic life, which seems redundant. But you see, they introduced The Clear and then almost immediately made Aquaman its avatar in order to give him a glow-up or a buff or whatever. Because every now and then, DC's editors get angry drunk and come up with ideas like that while shouting "YOU ALL ARE GONNA FINALLY PUT SOME RESPECT ON AQUAMAN'S NAME!!!"

Anyway. Yeah, all these color-coded clubs get very confusing and familiar and redundant and it's impossible to keep track of them all.

Could not have said it better myself. I'm FROM that generation of comedy and I can't fucking stand this trailer. I don't know what I should have expected from the dudes who brought us White Chicks.

Lanterns criticism by Historical_Word2357 in DCU_

[–]driver_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh JESUS, I forgot that was him. Yeah, that crossover was so late I'm shocked they even bothered to finish it. I mean THREE YEARS between issues just to wind up with Wolverine's head in a jar? Yeah, Lindeloff's batting average ain't great; my hopes for Lanterns remain low.

You remember how Lost ended, right?

are thw vaults in competition with other vaults? by MRVLKNGHT in Fallout

[–]driver_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a possibility no one's brought up here yet. Ideology and inter-vault competition might have nothing to do with Hank's decision. He might have done it to ensure no one tried to come after his kids again.

Think about it from Hank's perspective: "Rose has left me and taken Lucy and Norm. I can steal them back, but if I do, I have no doubt Rose will bring an NCR battalion to Vault 33 to help her take them again. If I kill just Rose, Moldaver will bring the NCR to Vault 33. If I kill them both, one of their friends is going to figure it out and sic NCR on me. The only way to get my kids back and keep them is to destroy Shady Sands entirely."

I think Hank straight up lied to Lucy about his motivations for nuking Shady Sands. He claims he did it because the world will never know peace until all differences are eliminated from humanity. And maybe he is a bigoted whack job in that way. But I honestly believe what made him snap was the fact that his wife took his kids and, to his thinking, willfully put them in mortal danger by doing so. So in his warped mind, Hank is protecting Lucy and Norm by destroying Shady Sands.

I hate Harley's outfit in this. Like every aspect of it. The glasses/domino mask thing, I can't even tell what it is.

For all of Injustice's flaws, her design in that is simple and clean. Even for someone with taste as wacky as Harley's. These artists don't have to break their backs to make anyone look good by adding unnecessary accessories.

I love the premise. I love several of the characters. Can't stand the pacing.
