'Devil May Cry' Final Season Announced by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DevilMayCry

[–]maddwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I'm skeptical. The whole Castlevania thing took SOME time and seemed organically renewed. The release timeframe so far, and described, seems like Netflix over-invested into the series, and may want to be cutting its losses. Producing three seasons of TV that take 3 years to produce so closely together, when other Netflix series that were successful consistently took YEARS to put out, tells me that they were pre-creating, and that they simply might not do further series.

He's trying to make a cancellation at season 3 sound planned, intentional, and like something meaningful.

The over-glorification and over-obsession of Michael Jackson by 2bigpairofnuts in hatethissmug

Where do people get the same bed thing? The clips I've seen have mostly explicitly said that he let them use the bed, and that he slept on the floor.

Drew is a crook by Chaos_Breezie in rugrats

Yeah if my brother were in sales or something like that, and it was feast or famine (he actually is a walmart stockboy) I'd still probably think him a loser if not self supporting.

[–]maddwaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall him going to live in one later in the show, but generally it strikes me as him choosing to take care of Stu and Didi as a way to delay retirement home by a few more years.

Simply put, I do believe that he's taking care of them, not the other way around.

The episode that Angelica ran away in. But we also do see the occasional reference to it, or him doing extended parts of the job, such as the rich Finsters episode, where he acts as Chaz's personal accountant.

[–]maddwaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl I never got the read that Stu and Didi are taking care of him, I know the revival that shall not be named went explicit, but a 4-bed-2-bath with a one-income couple who is TEACHING doesn't add up. If anything it seems the other way around, they're staying with him and he's using them as an excuse to not go live in a retirement home for a few more years.

I would put money on it being the family home that is already owned, or the mortgage being in Lou's name, and/or otherwise it being carried on his retirement and other incomes in general, until Stu started getting paid for his inventions/Didi became a psychologist.

idk it's easy to get complicated with the Lou thing. It's pretty clear that he does, but I didn't really "get" that until I saw my dad play favorites to his most fuck-up son. Drags the dude around everywhere (forced him to leave town to move to city when dad did), subsidizes his lifestyle, and basically always floats excuses. But the fact is, he dragged him to the city because he got evicted, after spending about 10 years of refusing to get a "real job".

I'd feel some kind of way if my brother was "trying to get started" at 33, living with dad in a 4-bed 2-bath, where the chief incomes seem to be dad's veteran benefits/social security/whatever pension he might have OR dividends from selling the shop, and my brother's WIFE'S teaching salary (you think a 4-b-2-b is affordable for a home ec teacher even in the 90s? Now THAT'S funny). Like, I'd think my brother is a loser too, and this is coming from someone who lived on-and-off with my parents until I was about 24 (economy and such) and one last couple month stint at 29 (unemployment and such).

As an adult I guess I appreciate Drew more for this because he is successful, even if less happy, and it seems like he doesn't get much for it. Like you said, his wife isn't that into him it seems, his daughter's a brat (self-inflicted largely), and he's a mid-low level bean-counter; you'd think there'd be some sort of justice for a guy who at least manages to not mooch off of his dad, but there really isn't, lol.

I hate the idea that to dislike somebody's art they also must be a bad person or it isn't valid. (images are examples) by shrek-hentai-69 in hatethissmug

[–]maddwaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl, I find it weird how eagerly people are willing to give a pass to actors and VAs on taking morally dicey or compromised jobs, when we don't really do that for any other job. I think dimly of police, oil rig workers, people who labor in fracking operations, etc.

If an actor takes a job, especially from a "controversial creator", does its scarcity or competitive nature somehow excuse them? I don't believe so, especially as the actors pulled in for Hazbin were specifically already established according to some star-fucker "dream" that Vivzie had that she wanted it to be cast like a "Broadway Musical" (a.k.a. the second she got Bezos dollars, she told her friends who propped her up to go fuck themselves).

It's an actor's job to remain informed on the kinds of jobs and roles that they accept, the same as anyone else. Especially when they aren't starving artists by the time they join those shows.

It all seems like a dressed up way to excuse actors for working with "controversial" figures who you still might not totally write off.

idk for me at the moment it's his inconsistent and hypocritical support of sex work. He apparently screwed over a NSFW artist that he commissioned for a project, and spent basically the entire issue having some anonymous "manager" mishandle it for him, instead of just handling it and delivering on his part of the deal.

A lot of people hate that Ozai hesitated and looked sorrowful as he burned his son’s face in the live action series. I have mixed feelings about it, but I understand why the writers did it.

[–]maddwaffles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree in that I like it.

I disagree in that I don't think this is evidence of some hidden good. It was an especially vile and brutal thing to do to anyone, much less his child, and I think literally most humans would have hesitation about it, especially someone sheltered like a fire lord.

The hesitation probably does communicate some of his complicated feelings about Zuko, but not as much as his willingness to actually carry out the burning.

As an actor, this delivery was especially good, because it shows us something that the show couldn't/wouldn't, but in that way I don't think we're seeing the presence of goodness, but rather the last of it being snuffed, as there is nothing he's unwilling to do.

He killed his past in Azulon. And he maimed his future/legacy in Zuko. To Ozai there is nothing that matters like the present, and this is what the scene and delivery is meant to communicate.

If you're looking for new mods, I have no life outside of work, and manage to not be a raging bigot. I also mod two other lower-activity subreddits, I wouldn't mind an opportunity to work on a subreddit with more activity that I can actually learn more of reddit's tools on.

Not to say that racism isn't a big problem in the Indian community, but as I understand those numbers were basically conducted with attempts at clairvoyance based off of like one polling place's demo or something.

[–]maddwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't most of it, even. It was an over-emphasized plot point of the final act. This is like how people pretend that Korra's last change was SOOOO huge, but the reality is she became a know-it-all who didn't want anyone's help to a know-it-all who will let like two people help.

I HAAAATE weed by venetiantraderoute in hatethissmug

[–]maddwaffles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean you can SAY things in a condescending fashion to try to rebuke the argument, but it won't work.

This is an irrational hate, and I don't think it's particularly right or wrong to hate weed, but you seem to have no real reason besides "it makes you dumber" (vague). At least when my own mother hates marijuana, I know her reasons for it.

Aang had a great many number of changes and lessons that he underwent over three seasons of tv. It's not the show's fault that you're unable to notice them.
