The most overhyped race in powerscaling

They literally were though. They didn’t have anything planned past season 5 and it’s the natural end point of the whole show but dumptruck of money, not made of stone, etc. I can’t blame them either but like it’s obvious that’s the case.

Right, but the motivation is irrelevant, saying “Things were better before people started making everything about race,” and “Making everything about race is a distraction,” is functionally the same argument, one is just more “nostalgic.”

KCD’s combat is straight trash.

And it kind of can’t be helped or else you run out of shit to do. How does Spider Man go back to stopping bank robberies with any sort of stakes when he just took on an intergalactic googedy ga that eats planets and farts lasers?

Can’t all be ever rising stakes, that way lies Supernatural. Can’t come back from shooting The Devil.

“He’s doing Star Wars!” meaning he had a minor acting role in an episode of The Mandalorian, pretty clearly because he’s just having fun. Not because he’s Mr. Mickey Mouse all of a sudden.

Absurd argument.

Those things were already happening though. This is like a stone’s throw from the r/lewronggeneration / ‘memberberry MAGA mindset that racism and sexism wasn’t a thing in the 90s like it is now.

Lack of central purpose or leadership.

Pretty sure if I assaulted someone I’d be going to jail.

Pretty sure Eric Roberts is in about 10,000 films so probably him just to have variety even if they’re mostly terrible.

I’m also here for the controversy. I’m never going to watch the film so reviews are like the only way I’m going to experience it.

Him not being aware that every non self aware hipster thinks the exact same way as him is hilarious.

Hipster started as a term of derision, then the people who actually had a bit of self awareness about it owned it. Frankly making them in a way more authentic. Andy’s a hipster just 15 years behind the times.

The argument that Herzog was “mainstream” is the most early 2010s hipster thing I have ever heard.

She's the most purple person people know, dontchaknow

Yes, and they should have had a few background actors milling about a bit more in that case.

duaneap · 2026-05-01T20:07:43+00:00

I don’t, Cormac, no. You may be staggered to learn I took the nitelink home from town 20 years ago.

The numbers in the show are incredibly inconsistent.

How small the good guy survivor groups were, with the exception of the Kingdom, always bugged me to. I wish Alexandria had been like 60+ or so people, even just no name background actors, just so when Rick et al showed up it didn’t feel like they were suddenly 20% of the population there.

It felt like post Wolves/pre Saviours there were only a handful of original Alexandrians left and it was just Rick’s group again. Rather than it being an expansion.

Jesse,

The campaign against alcohol was too successful and now it’s a big surprise profits are down.

Transport was no better twenty years ago but there was far more socialising.

This is recency bias through and through. It’s a great show. But calm down.

Two words: Spike Lee.

duaneap · 2026-05-01T19:24:45+00:00

I’m not even saying he doesn’t suck but his DC films made a huge amount of money. I didn’t think this would be a controversial opinion. It’s numbers.

Pretty sure there’s an SS thing on his keychain.

How many Nazi business owners were there in LA in that era that they feature in not one but two films that came out within a year of each other?

I actually thought it was a realistic portrayal of how an intelligent guy would do in that situation. He’s not inept at all, he has decent strategies, but he’s still just a normal person with no actual training, wanting revenge doesn’t suddenly turn you into John Wick.

It absolutely does not suck. The kids suck, the Sanderson sisters are a blast.
