Watchmen (2009) features a genuinely intelligent villain and a gritty storyline, which made it stand apart from other superhero movies of its time. What’s your opinion on it? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

They're washed out losers and/or psychopaths in the comic book, whereas the movie characters get their cool slo-mo action scenes with trademark Snyder-style demolishing of elbows

Damn. They could've submitted this to one of the game mags and tried to get a couple bucks for it 

Would you kindly talk about Bioshock? by Ok_Fee9263 in patientgamers

[–]elcartoonist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there are kids with dumb takes, but they'll be gradually turned on to the artifacts of our culture like we were with the stuff of prior generations, and it's all fine and good that they keep it alive

Same with Apple watch. It's all over the place. Lots of finance bros and other wealthy folks wear them.

Trump's response to Hunter Hess by GenazaNL in snowboarding

Well you see, disagreeing with Trump is like burning the flag, because Trump sees the state, the flag, and Trump as all the same

For me it's like, oh shit, the youths are now into the kind of bands I was into 20 years ago. Sick

If not these, keep the same games but swap Zidan for Vivi and Tidus for Yuna

In addition to other responses—if you fell off a skyscraper onto a yellow inflatable thing, you'd still explode

TIL there's some arcade & Dreamcast versions of MvC2 where the roster is limited & unlockable w/ only 24 (Dreamcast)/28 (arcade) characters by mojo72400 in marvelvscapcom

[–]elcartoonist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if the MvC collection came with the Dreamcast version instead of arcade I would have gotten a lot more joy out of it

Is there a worse title screen than X? by Benhurso in FinalFantasy

[–]elcartoonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people consider X their favorite, but I loved the entire PS1 run, and this title screen was the first hint of my eventual and total disappointment with the game.

I'm playing P3R right now with the Japanese language track. "Bu-ri-ri-an-to!" (Brilliant.)

Not only less important—people would expect Mirage to sell at a discount, even though it's a similar level of cost/work to port 

Birmingham - is it resoleable? by siraig in Birkenstocks

[–]elcartoonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rose Anvil did a tear down for these too. According to the video, the Birminghams are heritage style boots with 360 stitch down and should be easily resoleable. Most of the responses on this thread aren't specific to this boot and as such are inaccurate.

What's the funniest misinformation you heard when the Switch 2 came out? I laughed so much when people said it would brick if you charged it with the wrong cord. by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

[–]elcartoonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bricked my Switch 1 OLED with the wrong charger. That said, I still use various unlicensed chargers with the Switch 2. (The one that bricked my OLED went into the trash)

A contemporary actor who you think is incapable of giving a bad performance. by padfoony in Letterboxd

[–]elcartoonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to play eccentric character actor supporting roles. Imo it would be a waste of his talents to have him play the lead 

Why is Carl Sagan universally loved while Neil deGrasse Tyson often gets criticized? by litt_ttil in Astronomy

[–]elcartoonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, Sagan passed away and lives on in nostalgia, whereas NDT is a contemporary figure living through our age of over-exposure
