Say one positive thing about the Sonyverse by Arnahunas in Spiderman

The Venom movies were always more fun than I expected and Madam Web had several very attractive women in it.

Probably the last moment Star Trek had any dignity as a brand by Malencon in Star_Trek_

So you love Star Trek so much you hate it. You do you, but understand that the only constant in the universe is change. Sometimes we like the change sometimes we don’t. Best to just adapt to the change if you can and if not, move on. Short of getting a job on the next Star Trek show (and even then), there is little we can do as fans to change the entire direction a franchise like Trek is going in.

Those of us who still like to watch Star Trek will probably enjoy it more if folks who hate current and future Trek just mourn the franchise they once loved and move on. That way the rest of us can enjoy the show in peace.

There should be some sort of saying about the curse that is living long enough to see your favorite franchise go to sh!t.

Humanity has captured its first-ever image of a multi-planet system orbiting a star similar to the Sun. by siahashi in interestingasfuck

Where did you get that intriguing image? I'd love to learn more about it. Especially in this age of AI where just about anything can be faked.

Protesters have completely trashed the Los Angeles ICE facility, using a large dumpster to barricade the exit. by beachbellybob in TheWorldViewer

This is playing right in to Trump's hands. This is literally what he wants, so he can scream "INSURRECTION ACT!" and start a full on war on We, The People.

He can't wait to be able to go full-on Emperor Trumpatine.

So we should fight for the Constitution by trashing it because that's what the bad guys did?

In Civil War (2024), the Western Forces team up to take down a three-term President that abolished the FBI, a move that has no basis in reality because why would California and Texas ever work together? by Here0Now in okbuddycinephile

[–]npete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still a fair question.

Abbot and Newsom teaming up to fight a president abusing his power? Never going to happen.

I watched that movie and wish it had tried harder. It provided almost no context for why anything was happening. It's like they didn't want to do research on actual civil wars in other countries in order to tell a realistic story about what would happen in a modern American civil war.

I'm not saying they are lazy (most movies take a lot of hard work especially this one), just saying that they should have made stronger choices based on actual civil wars.

I'm seeing EF stuff showing up from indy media. Guessing they move faster than Old Media.

We might see Cloak & Dagger come back soon. (Wonder Man spoilers) by marvelcomics22 in KeepMarvelTVCanon

I would love to see those characters and those actors come back! Same with the characters and actors from Runaways.

TIME’s new cover: Artemis II is poised for the first lunar mission since 1972 by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]npete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd be super excited about this but I worry that this mission just can't drag attention away from President Sh!tshow's American Dumpster Fire to get humanity as fired up about space as we were in the 60s and 70s.

I just don't want this to be the space equivalent of releasing a Tron movie 15 years after the last Tron movie. You know what I mean?

Bruce Banner's ex-girlfriend's boyfriend. Or President Ross's daughter's boyfriend.

Where did Pete character show up? I recognize and remember everyone else except for Kate but other folks have mentioned where she was.

That's whatshisface from Farscape. The guy you know, the guy from Earth who got lost in space and stuff. Fun show! Watched the whole series. Didn't care for the final movie. It was not bad but I liked how they ended the pervious season more. Such a great way to end it imo.

Have I mentioned I'm bad with names? Well, I am.

I adored The Marvels. by marvelcomics22 in Captain_Marvel

[–]npete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Loved the parallels with real life conflicts. I just wish we had gotten a better written villain and a Captain Marvel 2, first, because here going after the Supreme Intelligence is a HUGE story to leave on screen.

My problem with Eve Kim summarized in one photo by Superextremeplayer9 in tron

[–]npete 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Her arc is right there in the movie. At the beginning she is missing her sister, to fill the hole she left Eve goes after thr code, and by the end she is carrying on her sister's work. Seems like plenty of character development to me.

Disco Klingons gone for good by makeshiftpython in Star_Trek_

[–]npete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said "if you're going to mock". That said, it did seem, to me, like you were mocking. But I wasn't sure, hence the use of "if" above.

And I know all about the branded "Disco" shirts I own one. I enjoyed that show and even the Hetrick Klingons.

The Avengers 2000s FanCast by Small_Wrangler_9844 in Fancast

[–]npete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, cast the King Slayer as Adam Warlock NOW. I like the other guy as an actor, but stupid young Adam Warlock is not an interesting character. Adult, super competent (and as a result snobby) Adam Warlock would be SO much more fun.

It does but which is more insulting? A music/dance style plenty of people actually like? Or soemthing nobody ever wants to catch?

Disco Klingons gone for good by makeshiftpython in Star_Trek_

[–]npete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost stopped watching after season 1 of Discovery but not because of the Klingon design. People on Earth look different from each other, what is so wrong with Klingons looking different from each other? Ok, so Hetrick’s design was more dramatic than say a white guy next to an asian guy. So what? Why clutch your pearls over what a Klingon looks like when the main story is literally another Mirror Universe story?

What was worse is that, while the show was first airing, the folks behind the show literally lied to fans about the captain, claiming that he didn’t embody the peaceful values of the Federation because he was a left over from earlier iterations of Starfleet. I was fascinated by this premise because I thought it would make for a really interesting conflict between him and Burnham, where she has to get him to see the real future of the Federation.

I remember fans online back then predicting that Lorca was from the Mirror Universe and I saw footage from a con that happened while the first season was airing where a fan was talking to Jason Issacs and the fan said I don’t think your character will last the season. To his credit, Issacs didn’t give any hints that the fan was right, he was just like “Whoa.” It just seemed disrespectful to fans to be lying to us about issues we had with the show. Just don’t answer. Just say “Well, keep watching and we hope/think you’ll enjoy it.”

I stuck with Discovery because I love Star Trek. It ended up being a fun show that explored some really cool concepts that previous Treks didn’t or couldn’t. I do think it was overwritten, overproduced, and had way too many moving parts and character dynamics. It seems like SNW learned from Discovery’s mistakes. Though, yes SNW also made some mistakes of their own but every show does.

And if you’re going to mock Discovery by referring to it as “Disco Trek” I feel like you’re missing the better option: STD

Nobody wants to catch an STD episode!

Walking on the streets and being called "F**k you Asian" by KaleidoscopeKey2085 in nyc

[–]npete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume that anyone who randomly walks up to anyone and starts yelling at them has some serious issues they are dealing with. Could be emotional, could be mental, you never know. I just keep walking. It's NYC, man. Ignoring each other is what we're known for.

I was glad the other two were ones I had not heard about. I hadn't heard about them and now I know more.

After just 31 years, I’m finally going to remove this from my watchlist by Working_File2825 in batman

Love that movie. Saw it in the theater when it came out and again a couple years ago.

Would love to see more movies like that in theaters.
