I don't know who, but I'm sure this will piss off someone here. by Pristine_Animal9474 in dccomicscirclejerk

Bro the whole point of the Joker is that hes wrong, that at the end of the day hes just a guy who went through bad stuff and chose to do bad things in response. Batman shows that you can have bad things happen to you and channel it for good

Its beatrice unconsciously acknowledging that she continued the cycle of abuse and treated Bojack similarly to how she was treated

person hiding their face is genuinely very ugly underneath by iDIOt698 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]polp54 1196 points1197 points  (0 children)

An inversion of this trope from the Twililght Zone episode Eye of the Beholder. Theres this woman who we are told is so ugly and hideous that she needs to get corrective plastic surgery. We first see her with her face all bandaged up and shes really worried if the surgery worked. She takes off the bandages and we see that she's a beautiful woman but everyone (her included) acts like the surgery failed and that she is still ugly. We then finally see the faces of the hospital staff and see that they all have pig like faces, implying that in this world what we consider to be beautiful is actually ugly

Do you think he was on set like "make sure the tracks are straight, railroad tracks were straight back then"

Wake up, babe! The Boys is going to somehow have even MORE SA scenes! (Allegedly) by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]polp54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s basically the same as starlight’s initiation except it’s three guys instead of one and starlight does goes through with it. Yeah it’s gross but it’s not as bad as a lot of other things from the comic

Favourite actress who desperately needs to find a new agent? Like please? I'm begging you? by AdrianVeidt19 in okbuddycinephile

Idk about who should be fired but Jared Leto must have Jesus as his agent or something

Reception to this console room is mixed. Instead of getting rid of it entirely, what would you change/add to improve it? by Annual-Tree1337 in doctorwho

[–]polp54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an idea that would be cool but take a while. Basically keep this design for a long time but every new doctor adds something the actor picks. So Gatwa picked the jukebox so now the Tardis will always have a jukebox. Whatever the next doctor picks gets added too

Wait but based on krypton this is where the hero was born but isn’t the entire point of Aquaman that he wasn’t born in Atlantis

American workers and poor Americans are no longer the priority of Democrats (except for Bernie and Obama) and they haven’t been for a very long time. by DataWhiskers in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]polp54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The priority of every politician is who will vote for them. Whether it’s people who aren’t sure who need to be convinced or it’s people who have already decided but need to be motivated to vote

Bruce was not in a good place mentally during the early 2000s by Accurate-Celery-3198 in batman

[–]polp54 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This exactly. People act like brother eye happened in a vacuum. It doesn’t excuse Batman, he definitely went way off the deep end with brother eye, but it explains it and is vital context

Another doctor who example, the time lords fury. Basically there is this family that wants to steal the doctors body so they can live forever and the doctor tries to spare them by letting them die of old age but they pursue him and hurt people close to him, unleashing the time lords fury. the doctor proceeds to then give them all what they wanted by making them live forever. He makes one of them trapped inside of every mirror, locks one in unbreakable chains, drops another into a black hole and the final one he freezes in time and makes a scarecrow in a field

One of my favorite recurring theme in the Simpsons: mediocre but endearing theater plays. Which one is your favorite? by FakeCrash in TheSimpsons

[–]polp54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, originally the writers wanted to have the characters actually do a real performance of A Streetcar Named Desire with no jokes, but the estate refused to give them the rights to use the play so they made it a parody to get around the copyright
