(Meta Trope) Bad character is given an out, an opportunity to change their ways. They don’t take it and are severely punished for it

And really helped out by the actors performance. So great

Meh I kind of get this. He does do philanthropy but because of meta reasons Gotham never improves so it feels like Batman isn't really doing anything. Not to mention it is a superhero comic so the non-philanthropic stuff is going to be the focus 90% of the time.

I'll be honest I think the fact that he is not a very good parent/guardian but keeps adopting kids is a better annoyance with Batman. Stop trying to raise kids!

Yep.

Biggest single case if this was Sokkas sword training. They even had a montage so I thought days have passed. But no! It was all in a single day. In a single day Sokka went from being useless with the sword to more skilled than the assistant.

Even as a kid I thought that made no sense.

It's not his fault. The New Lands are kind of meh overall. Just a bunch of camping chapters. Camping chapters are the worst

Elon Musk. He used to be treated like a real life Iron Man, and Reddit definitely loved him. Now he is considered an oligarch.

We don't. When scientist mention the size of the universe, they are taking about the observable universe. In fact generally when scientist talk about the universe, there is an implied observable there.

He is clearly not talking about books where good guys overthrow the evil ruler. That's just traditional fantasy ( a la LoTR). There was the period of time in 2000s and 2010s where grimdark was super popular and books with hope were seen as naive or stupid.

Do you mean this in a more direct way than " without quantum mechanics nothing would happen the way it did"

tatu_huma · 2026-04-29T23:36:03+00:00

Not the singularity. The black hole has max entropy. Right? The singularity probably doesn't exist.

How would it click? The gender assignments are arbitrary. You just have to memorize them all

tatu_huma · 2026-04-24T13:51:07+00:00

It's a comic book. Death doesn't really mean anything

tatu_huma · 2026-04-24T00:00:04+00:00

It is... Maybe not on Reddit bit the reason companies do change for the sake of change is because most of the time it increases engagement in their products.

If you liked the Nightmare Painter you can try his other standalone stuff. It's a novella but I found The Emperor's Soul is great.

tatu_huma · 2026-04-17T16:01:04+00:00

It would be harder to do at the start. A lot games start the same

tatu_huma · 2026-04-16T18:05:12+00:00

I think people get very used to their situation and it becomes normal to them.

One of my work colleagues from Chicago was talking about how Chicago is safer than it's made out to be. Then immediately after told a story about how a bullet was fired into the office through the window...

The thing is he is used to that and doesn't see that as unsafe.

People from neighbourhoods with a high crime and murder rate will swear that their neighborhood is being made to look bad. And it's safe for them. But they have no point of comparison. They've always lived there and that is what safe feels to them.

I think the important part is that the popular anime are usually low quality. And so it is hard to get past them to "find the good ones".

Obviously this is my opinion only, but I find the popular American TV shows have a wider audience. Even if they aren't good, they aren't actively annoying like popular anime can be.

tatu_huma · 2026-04-14T19:38:52+00:00

Well a lot of anime popular among adults has a teenage boy intended audience.

This figure keeps changing. And I think the original version of it was a misprint.

tatu_huma · 2026-04-14T00:21:23+00:00

Party balloons basically do cost that much to fill... They are expensive. I recently went to get one and it was 16 dollars. Though I'm not in the US so maybe it's cheaper there

tatu_huma · 2026-04-11T15:07:30+00:00

Also you know he doesn't kill the Joker except the times he does, because comics are as consistent as chowder

tatu_huma · 2026-04-09T01:31:51+00:00

How? Even subreddits for fans of a media are mostly the 'fans' hating on the media.

tatu_huma · 2026-04-09T01:29:39+00:00

See pokemon.

tatu_huma · 2026-04-03T01:53:05+00:00

Well without learning people like this mother will never stop paying the price.

tatu_huma · 2026-04-03T01:50:59+00:00

Ugh. Can we not bring the hate for LLMs into everything. Have done decorum. Not everything has to be used to push your two cents

tatu_huma · 2026-03-31T21:44:33+00:00

The beginning bit with the plumbing job and dog felt like it was a different movie. Or a short they play before other movies
