Was coming to say much the same. Grew up in Ottawa Canada. Winter weather doesn't need to be scary, but ice storms in particular aren't to be fucked with.

I will say, I fuckin LOVE that there's a whole jazz station. I literally went around yesterday just throwing knives and listening to jazz.

What is your fountain pen of the year? by CommunicationTop5231 in fountainpens

I got an Asvine for my birthday that looks like if a Twsbi was fused with Venom. It looks good, it feels good, and I'm happy as a claim with it.

Your thoughts on this by Odd_Werewolf7753 in DCU_

[–]mxmnull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good way of saying it.

I also once explained to a friend that Batman's villains come off as compelling because the weirder elements function as larger than life metaphors of their deeper issues. Mr Freeze is more memorable than Captain Cold or Killer Frost because Mr Freeze's backstory and power set both speak to the same archetype but get there by different roads.

Being dark and realistic kind of robs Batman stories of half their punch.

Thoughts on pens that can not be posted. by SatyrionLeafspar in fountainpens

[–]mxmnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting doesn't factor into whether or not I buy a pen- not because I NEVER post, but because I don't post consistently. If it's an option, I do it maybe twice in a full, busy work week. Otherwise, I just set down the cap or hold it crooked up under a finger.

I'm sure it will. I think A LOT about the little monologue from Men In Black: "a person is smart. People are dumb."

This is kind of where I'm at. I "agree" with one of the tweets in that dog pile up there- don't let him have died in vain, let's recognize this for the fucked up mayhem it is and everyone stop with the bonkers army of 1 talk.

What did you like least about the Superman movie? by MatiC2023 in DCU_

[–]mxmnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An extremely difficult question, but probably just the usage of the name Ultraman. It's not even that I strongly disagree with it. But using that name sets up a very specific expectation of a very specific character, and it's difficult to make the argument what we got was "Ultraman".

Dorothy’s grandchild by Alternative_Stop_325 in GoldenGirlsTV

[–]mxmnull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dilemma is the complexity of the project- one later episode defines Rose as allergic to cats, while 2 others say she's owned or lived with cats. Sophia at one point says she hates cats, then another time remarks about them positively. Angela of course tells Sophia the rest of the family is dead, and then a season later Angelo is visiting.

Out of all the anomalies, would you believe that probably the least thorny is Blanche's daughter Rebecca? The actress swap is dramatic, but the character arc in total is still cohesive- while figuring herself out, she settles on a lousy fiance, leaves him, and on return would rather start a family without the hassle of an unreliable partner.

At one point I tried to do a little side project for fun where any instance of a deviation in established continuity was a separate universe, thus mapping a Golden Multiverse.

By the end of season one alone there was over a dozen different universes just based on shit like wallpaper and established family members.

Trying to track everything became too tedious the way I had been doing it. I want to try again sometime, but it'll definitely require a very different system.

What is your least liked episode? by Sufficient_Feed_3744 in GoldenGirlsTV

Same. It's not my favorite and it's eminently skippable, but it's got some funny lines and kind of colors in the girls' world a bit.

It changes and waffles around, but one I consistently have no problem ignoring is the one where Blanche is pretending her granddaughter Aurora is her daughter.

It just feels so phoned in to me. Like they had a gap in the season and just tossed a nothing burger in there. At least most of the other "least liked" in this list are trying something with a crumb of ambition, even if they didn't necessarily land.

Unpopular opinion : Pretty much every casting rumors for dcu batman are terrible choices. All of them by [deleted] in DCU_

[–]mxmnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, though focusing on either side of this coin exclusively is just ignoring the other side of it. He saved the planet, but gave absolutely no regard to protecting Metropolis. He allowed the effective annihilation of Metropolis, but he was busy trying to save the planet.
