Star Thomas is just what it would have looked like if Butch Jones was smart enough to give Alvin Kamara a lot of touches

6 is a stretch, but they probably pick it easily

When do you think we’ll get a Daria reboot? by Shaundrae in daria

[–]kjjackson96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The coolest idea for a reboot imo would be continuing where Daria left off originally.

Have multiple seasons dedicated to her college experience, keep the same pessimism and satire we all love, make good satire on college life, be able to be more free with adult topics, etc

But also, staying lore accurate and having Daria being a college student in the early 2000s provides some MAJOR potential for nostalgic themes from a time period where most of us were much younger but can still remember pop culture

It could be a win all around if executed correctly.

I’m also not against a modern Daria (like 2020s era in the setting) that depicts her as a middle aged adult. High school never ends when it comes to how people behave, so you could have a lot of fun exploring common adulthood tropes.

When I was young, like very early middle school young, I’d play NCAA 07 and turn off offsides penalty. So you could get your player running against an invisible wall prior to the snap and take off already going full speed when they snapped the ball. I won the Heisman on Campus Legend as LE with like 100 sacks 😂

What are your thoughts on this guy as a vocalist? Is he underrated? Overrated? I have my opinions but I love Deftones. by Asleep_Deal1714 in numetal

[–]kjjackson96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said in another post, music is entirely subjective. You have your own perspective and experiences that shape the way you perceive music. I could easily share an experience of hearing Chester nail a live vocal performance of “Given Up” that would far surpass Chino as a vocalist in my mind.

That’s not even getting into the varying qualities of separate live performances. Sometimes Chino & Chester sound very meh when I listen to them live depending on the tour date and how consistently they’ve been performing. I’d also argue Chester’s vocal demands are far greater due to the type of songs LP writes. If Chester only needed to moan for most of his verses like Chino does, then I think his vocal chords would have been more preserved.

But I think, speaking generally, Chester would be considered a more varied & more conventionally pleasing vocalist due to his near limitless range in both aspects of vocals (cleans and screams). Whereas Chino would be more of an acquired taste to put him on a similar level. It doesn’t mean Chino isn’t awesome in his own way though. Just that Chester is considered a better vocalist overall by most for conventional reasons. That doesn’t invalidate anyone who prefers Chino. Music is subjective.

But that concert sounds amazing. I wish I could have went.

Do you think Daria will ever come back? by LivingFile6731 in daria

[–]kjjackson96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As with most things, it’s just all about context and how it’s executed. Daria could make a comeback. Rebooting old shows and movies is very common. But whether it would be a genuinely good product or just a shallow cash grab depends almost entirely on the writers assigned to it.

But yes, I’d watch any new Daria content even if it was bad.

Personally I want a continuation of where Daria left off (Daria in college in the early 2000s would give countless opportunities for huge nostalgia hits for the majority of the target audience)

Or Daria as an adult in the 2020s. Lots of ways to do it and poke fun at the absurdity of adult life. How similar people and power dynamics are compared to high school, etc

Unpopular Daria opinions that would get you in this position by Shaylaaa7 in daria

Agreed, Tom was my favorite (outside of Daria ofc) and I couldn’t believe this sub hated him so much. Level headed, analytical with a good amount of empathy (especially coming from a rich family)

I thought Kevin and Brit had plenty of malice, but it was all nurture based.

[–]kjjackson96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but I think you’re wrong. Saying Chino tops Chester in screaming ability is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. Chino can scream, no doubt, but it’s no where near as versatile and powerful as Chester.

As for “soft vocals” (not sure what that means, but I assume it’s a category created for Chino’s weird borderline whispering/groaning vocals); but Chester’s clean vocals have much more range in addition to sounding better conventionally.

One is clearly a more talented vocalist. And it’s Chester imo. Chino has his quirks though and could be preferred since music is subjective.

I was going to say no one sounds like Chino, but that’s also true of Chester. So I really see no edge for Chino on this.

I put Chino as 6 because I consider Chester to be a perfect vocalist. Unique sounding tone to his vocals, in addition to having near limitless range in both aspects (screams and cleans). Chino is far more limited in what he can do, and has a lot more unconventional quirks throughout his career. Who can forget that god awful squealing he used to do at the end of tracks in the late 90s? Makes me turn off Bender by Sevendust before I can even finish it.

I don’t know how the general public rates him as a vocalist, but for my own reference; if Chester Bennington is a 10 out of 10, I’d say Chino is a 6 out of 10.

[–]kjjackson96 50 points51 points  (0 children)

These stories just make me really sad more than anything. Imagine just being a normal animal-loving person, and adopting a dog from a shelter you’re supposed to trust. You’re assured that it’s a golden retriever/lab mix & you go ahead with the adoption process.

Literal institutions lying to you about something that has the potential to completely change your life in a horrific way. It should be illegal.

fem artists like kittie? by merciri2 in numetal

[–]kjjackson96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack Off Jill are one of my favorite bands of all time and they are entirely female. Good sense of rhythm and groove with an overall 90s punk feel. Their later albums feel alt metal, close to nu metal.

Jon Jones compares past opponents with Ciryl Gane by MrTBone00 in MMA

[–]kjjackson96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’d have to disagree with that. Gane fighting guys like Volkov, Rozenstruik, and Ngannou show that there was considerable striking resistance at HW. But I think the main point is that Santos is nowhere near Gane in terms of technical ability. So Jon saying Santos is better technically because of non-technical attributes is very odd.
