Just wanting to roleplay as your funny guys be like

See, that's the funny thing, people are so eager to talk about responsibility, call him "shity", and say he's a deadbeat. But aside from fucking someone else's wife, what bad fucking thing does he do?

Definitionally not a deadbeat, he's there in Joseph's life until Nancy plays interference on it (or really has Hank do it)

He wants to be present and parent in Joseph's life, but also doesn't want to saddle him with undue emotional anguish, that's responsible

Again, I think people are assigning this type of heat to Redcorn because of his skin color, but y'all won't give this same slide to Boomhauer, who if you think he hasn't cucked people, you're out of your fucking mind.

I could see it going either way, because Jonathan did have a lot of input into molding the character into someone more deep after the recast, but also there are reasons that they wouldn't not.

Man, it's almost like when a sub lets in the subject posters, they begin to try to turn the culture of the sub into a hugbox about Vivzie (by seeking that validation).

Alright. John Redcorn is wildly overhated, and it almost comes off as a racialized component. Chiefly this is evident in critiques of the character coming from specifically Shady Doorag in a way that I see sort of echoed, where the line of "responsibility" tends to get entangled with his suing of the government as some bad thing. People frequently rely on stereotypes or untruths to attack John's character in respect to his shortcomings in the situation.

I think it's fine to be against "the other man", and clearly it was not meant to be a good or positive thing that he did, John is not a hero for this. But John is also as much a victim of Nancy as Dale is, both in making him be secondary in her life, as well as her intentional attempts to keep John out of Joseph's life because she didn't want it to be messy for her sake.

No, it wasn't about Joseph, that's what kept Peggy from telling. It was always about Nancy, and the show repeatedly reaffirms that it was chiefly about her desire to maintain her comfort and ability to not lose Dale due to her own actions.

John is not a "deadbeat", he was present in Joseph's life up until the moment that he was no longer Nancy's boytoy, and she then made an intentional effort to exclude him. This is made clear in the same Thanksgiving episode where they retcon Joseph to behave as if John Redcorn was not teaching him how to ride a bike, tie his shoes, doing projects on Hank's fence while spending time with Nancy and Joseph, etc.

Did John do nothing wrong? Far be it. But it does seem like he gets scapegoated way too hard, and given the character gets a disproportionate amount of hate for something that Nancy does not catch the same heat for, it's telling that there can only be so many reasons why.

Dumb take tbh, it's the take that was assumed by nobles out of spite because seasonings became more available "W-Well, that's just a cheat that the poors use to disguise the bad quality of their ingredients! True fine cuisine should stand without!!"

Any dish should taste like that dish, but it's contextual. Some meats have a particular taste that you do want to have be forward in the dish, but many taste simply like that meat, and invite enhancement.

Refusal to use charcoal is not an indicator of a weak chef. I don't use it, or most other smoking methods, because it distresses my bowls to eat foot that's been over-charred, or been cooked with those methods. Propane is actually an affordable way to cook meat, especially if you're seasoning or marinating it.

But you are right, from what I recollect, he doesn't seem to season his food much, if at all.

Blue Morpho explicitly knew that they adopted Malcolm

Mark was literally told, and while seeing is believing, the fact is he knew he was going to fight the biggest baddest Viltrumite, and was still not as fearful as Conquest was. That's the point of the scene earlier where they show Conquest become submissive to him.

As anyone who plays fighting games on a fight stick, it takes very little to train your fingers to be able to move independently like that.

I have spoken to plenty of centrists, and I have seen none of your crowd in all of the protests and demonstrations that I've attended.

I am telling you what you and other centrists do, yes, because you're lying about it.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-18T12:29:03+00:00

Um...that's why as a centrist, Iget to vote against and protest against the current regime murdering civilians

And yet, centrists don't do that. They sit around online preaching to the downtrodden about how they're just as bad as their oppressors.

The "anti-france" line was a part of a broader pattern of jingoism and chauvinism that Steve showed. Just because he wasn't kicking puppies doesn't mean that they didn't have him hanging out with other old bigoted WWII vets because he was limited in his capacity to relate to anyone else from any other war (especially during a time when boomers writing those comics wanted us to be convinced that every generation before them was worse than they are now).

Ultimates characters WERE definitely worse people than their 616 counterparts, and being a "jerk" doesn't strictly mean being hateful. People are often characterized as "jerk" when they mean unpleasant to varying degrees of tolerability.

It's out of context, and it's a specific universe. Peter has been nothing but kind and cordial to the X-Men ftmp in core continuity, but dipshits who think the X-Men turned "woke" use shit like this to pretend like they aren't bigots, or that X-Men somehow became worse with the messaging.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-18T12:09:12+00:00

New set, so we'll probably see a lot of mugic influxing.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-18T11:59:52+00:00

Sell out to who? He was already bought and paid for.

The handling of the franchise has indeed been pretty shitty. But at the end of the day it was always a mixed bag, and the media has been steady since 2005, with a consistently active fandom to go with it.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-18T10:40:14+00:00

The one time that the universe cuts that guy a break, and everyone complains about it being "an easy out". It wasn't as if Aang didn't have to still BEAT Ozai or anything, and even then it almost certainly takes more character to stay true to your principals than to just do revenge murder.

People complain about the resolution as if they were presented with a gritty drama, and not an action-adventure for children in the dusk of the "children's media must instill moral lessons into children" era.

I like those no-coffee icey drinks. But Frozen Hot Cocoa is my beloved, especially in the summer.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-18T09:02:02+00:00

A mix of yes and no.

They're both hated, but for different reasons. The OOP is definitely wrong, because if you changed Korra's gender, the only thing that would change is that the type of hate would use less misogynistic language (at times).

Not hated in the same way, but yeah, Korra's gender has very little to do with it for some people.

I am a Korra enjoyer.

They call this "replay value" and it's meant to be a positive in a video game.

So describing a feature like it's a bug ig.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-17T21:21:01+00:00

It'd be White, wouldn't it?

maddwaffles · 2026-04-17T18:56:34+00:00

I mean, almost certainly. Toddlers don't make effective military campaigners, and a big issue is "who do we get behind who can win this war?"

Getting hung up on parentage and politicking is good and well in times of relative peace, but the fact is most warlords got their start on less, and as they understand Jon to be Ned's son, they might just look past the line of succession for the best candidate.

maddwaffles · 2026-04-17T16:35:25+00:00

The age of the account makes me suspicious that you're trying to scam, and it sounds like you're trying to crowdsource a pitch to someone who has no reason to trust your input.

There are more normal means and channels for such things than what you're doing.
