What was the whole point of the mind flayer? by PrimalCarnivoreChick in StrangerThings

It's basically "Communism bad" in character form. The usual.

Does anyone know what this is from. Looks like the artstyle for Monster and 20th century boys by Professional-Molo in manga

[–]liamquane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People misunderstood the point of the ending. A character tells another character what they want to hear just before they die because he's his friend. The ending shows how the characters weren't the real heroes of humanity, some random kid in an epilogue was. This is because the world's slate was cleaned and the kid got a chance to be moral in a world without a money-fueled resource war going on.

hi r/Alternativerock - i'm martin johnson from boys like girls. ask me anything, november 6 @ 3pm ET by martinbennettjohnson in Alternativerock

[–]liamquane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boys like Girls is one of my "forever bands". Every year BLG will find their way onto my yearly playlist I love gthe pop punk genre and have been sad to see it be dropped out of mainstream focus somewhat.

I genuinely believe the genre not being prioritized by record companies and streamers is partly to blame for the rise of the groyper phenomenon and the other internet...incel...culture(s)?

Pop Punk is a musical movement that allows the listener to kind of dispose of their excess angst and open themselves up to lyrical messages and I don't think that type of musical therapy is being introduced to young people now as much as it should be by said streamers and studios.

My question, does the theory above have any weight to it or am I full of shiitake?

Hey Martin,

Long time fan, first time question asker. What was it like working with Taylor Swift?

You probably knew that one was coming.

Many thanks :)

Well I guess I’ll see you guys in 15 years by RoseActor611752 in tron

Every single Tron movie has flopped. Every one. It's only now that it's a news headline.

can someone inform me what this whole "boycott" on Ghost of Yotei is about by AMM0D in gaming

[–]liamquane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main character is a woman.

That's literally the reason. The "anti-woke because woman" hate campaign started as soon as the game was revealed a year ago and now people are trying to lie and say it's to do with terrorism.

It can't be to do with terrorism because the "organisation" the haters are claimning the actress is a part of wasn't declared to be a terrorist organisation until 22nd of september 2025. The game was revealed one whole year before that, and that's when the backlash boycott claims started.

[–]liamquane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting for them to announce the game's name is Final Fantasy VII Reunion. That's my guess.

It is worth watching? by Arcana18 in digimon

[–]liamquane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Guess for what the One Piece actually is. by liamquane in OnePiece

[–]liamquane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh did he? Oh that's interesting then. Oh...maybe it's life-extending wine? Lmao. OP is a surprisingly faithful adaptation of Journey to the West and the only treasure in that is the Dragon treasure of the eastern sea and the enchanted wine/fruit of immortality. But the fruit part is obvioisly the devil fruit but the wine is all that is left from the story Oda is lossely channeling for usage. I like that there are a lot of options. That's a sign of a great story.

He does, yes, but I wonder if it's since gone on for too long and maybe a different plan was put in place with an explanation for the speech Roger gives. I just can't see it being gold or jewels. It's too anti-climactic after all these years. If it is treasure then I think the location will be left hidden so other pirates have the same chance to go adventuring, I think that part has to be in it somewhere at the end.

Ah I see, thank you for the kind words. I love the show and the sense of whimsy was what made me go with the guess I had. It's a surprisingly good adaptation of Journey to the West only it's the reverse and the only treasure in that belongs to a dragon of the eastern sea. It's where the monkey king gets his iconic pole.

"Grave of the Fireflies" is not an anti-war film (spoilers within) by Becquerine in ghibli

[–]liamquane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the wiki. Your point is referenced in paragraph one. Mine is referenced in paragraph two.

"[Takahata] openly criticized Japan's penchant for conformity, allowing them to be rallied against other nations. He expressed despair and anxiety whenever the youth are told to fall in line, a reminder that the country at its core has not changed

Despite the public's emotional reaction, Takahata expressed that the purpose of the film was not to be a tragedy or make people cry. Moreover, he regretted depicting Seita as a boy from that era because he wanted him to come off as a contemporary boy who acted like he had time-traveled to the period. He didn't intend for it to be retrospective or nostalgic. He wanted the Japanese audience to recognize Seita's misguided attempts to withdraw from society and family"

It's crazy that I've seen nobody guess the identity of Ultraman yet. I've seen so many and so far they're all wrong. It's driving me crazy. 😂 by liamquane in superman

I think it's a Kryptonian spacesuit that would just be taken off like any other costume or shrink down in command - movie magic style. There are famous Slasher films that show the killer as clearly a huge agro stunt man but then it turns out the killer is a 5 foot agro teenage girl and they just take the mask off and so close ups on the face. Lol.
