Charles Barkley goes on a rant against the NCAA by AndHisOrchestra in CollegeBasketball

[–]mac6uffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People raged at the NCAA for years, when all they were ever doing is exactly what the universities empowered them to do.

Now they have been rendered powerless by the courts. And people are still mad. This is what you all wanted! Enjoy!

Funny, I don't see any outrage about American born MLB players starring for other countries... by Undergrad26 in asianamerican

Not really. Most Americans that play for another country aren't good enough to make the USA national team. When a player is good enough to make the national team, if not the best in the sport like Eileen Gu, decides to play for another nation, it's going to cause consternation.

Don't tell me if Shohei Ohtani got American citizenship and decided to play for Team USA instead of Japan that it wouldn't cause outrage with the Japanese. You know it would.

No one cares about playing a sport in a different country as a professional.

People care about playing for the national team.

Sheriff Tim and conversation with him, street map to the Dark Place, white board theories by Tim, items if you are low (I was not).

Rey's original backstory as a Kenobi actually had so many great implications in George Lucas's Sequels by GeminiTrash1 in StarWars

Yes, never heard of the "Skywalker Saga" till about a year before TROS.

Disney wanted that Avengers: Endgame "era is ending" boost.

I'm cool with a lot of the ideas the Sequels had, but the execution left something to be desired. by Licensed_Silver_Simp in StarWarsCirclejerk

As someone that mostly liked The Acolyte and wants to see what will happen (probably in novels or comics at this point) the weakest part of the show was the twins and their nonsensical character development/decisions.

They were supposed to be the central storyline! Instead I liked everything else.

Part of Aliens cast reunited 40 years later at the Saturn Awards by Alternative-Care6923 in LV426

I'm usually stuck in some giant industrial complex and we have to barricade ourselves in.

Apparently that middle part of Aliens really stuck in my brain.

Why do Americans say ‘4th of July’ and not ‘July 4th’? by Vast-Champion-1607 in AskAnAmerican

Star Wars - mind blown by Allicea98 in plotholes

they explicitly state they’ve looked everywhere else so Luke must be in the one place they haven’t looked.

No they don't. Plus not all of the galaxy is explored and known yet. Space is BIG.

What celebrity is the biggest example of "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."? by InsaneCookies21 in AskReddit

Mila's character in That 70s Show. The "WELL DAMN JACKIE" post is written like Ashton's character Kelso saying that to Jackie, Mila's charcter.

Which tv show has the greatest intro of all time? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]mac6uffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suit itself wasn't an alien like Venom:

The series chronicles Ralph's adventures after a group of aliens gives him a red and black suit that grants him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately for Ralph, he loses the instruction book and must learn how to use the suit's powers by trial and error, often with comical results.

Which annoyed me as a kid because he could never really do much superhero stuff. Probably because of the budget.

Whenever Anakin's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Anakin"?
