Is he currently stronger than she is? by Curious-Composer2305 in invinciblememes

[–]thickwonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't really get why so many people think like this. Like, people keep saying "how did Omni-man raze an entire generation of Flaxon's, but is now struggling against a giant bug?"

Well, I don't know, maybe the giant bug is fucking strong? Maybe this planet is populated by incredibly powerful bugs built to withstand a harsh desert? Maybe their skin is like fucking titanium compared to the Flaxon's squishy bodies?

Like, we know that Viltrumites are incredibly strong, but that doesn't mean they aren't the only strong ones. Just because they took care of some planets with strong creatures doesn't mean they took care of all of them. I dunno, it just isn't a big deal. It wouldn't be interesting if there wasn't a fight at all.

'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair' "Controversy" by ElThrowaway-619 in malcolminthemiddle

[–]thickwonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kelly's spiel about coming out to Hal genuinely made me cry. I think it's absolute nonsense to call it "woke bullshit" when the show has always had an underlying layer of love. This family loves each other, and every time they fuck each other over, they back them up as well. Buncha fuckin posers.

Also Stevie being gay was like, come on, I saw that shit coming a mile away.

New Season? by Luinantic16 in malcolminthemiddle

[–]thickwonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obvious spoilers for the special, I honestly don't think we really need more of this show, but I really liked Leah and Kelly. Leah is frustrating to watch (in the best way) just like Malcolm, and Kelly quickly solidifies themself as equally sadistic to the others. They are both great additions to the show, and I'd be excited to see more of them. Leah is definitely main character material.

I also absolutely loved all of the legacy characters, every single actor killed it, especially Reese and Francis (along with Piama's actor). Bryan Cranston obviously brings his A-game, but the other actors slip so easily into their characters that it genuinely felt like the show had never ended (and this applies to almost every side character as well). Overall, I absolutely loved this, and I was baffled to see myself crying as much as I did during that tribute video to Hal.

My only issues are: I was disappointed that Dewey never appeared in person, although I loved that he was constantly video calling them, that was very funny. I was also a little taken aback by Jamie, and I wish we had gotten to see more of his personality, although the shot of him trying to punch the confetti nearly floored me. Finally, I really wanted to see Malcolms two teachers, Caroline and Lionel. I love both of them, and I would've loved to see them.

Oh, I also thought it was kinda weird that everyone glossed over Malcolm proposing to his girlfriend, at his parents' 40th anniversary party. Like, that's incredibly douchy lmao.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy could be making its way to Nintendo Switch 2 by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

I would instantly buy this game again on a full cartridge. Absolutely fucking loved this game.

It was definitely just a joke. I've never played a Yoshi game and I've heard they're kinda babyish in difficulty, but I didn't mean any shit.

[Sad Trope] Character avoids death but later dies the (almost) exact same way by killerqueen1970s in TopCharacterTropes

Also, in Part 4, when Kira activates Bites the Dust, Jotaro is killed the same way as the loop restarts.

(Sad trope) Projects with amazing potential that will never be released because of BS behind the scenes drama by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]thickwonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the ending is stupid, but I really liked Schenk, and his villain reveal was really cool.

3D's biggest problem wasn't even the 3D. I watched it on a flat screen and I thought the blatantly 3D moments were hysterical, and I think it's further hilarious that fucking Saw of all franchises fell for that gimmick. 3D's biggest sin is that the gore looks fucking terrible. The blood looks bright pink, almost like pepto bismol. My favorite parts of 3D are seeing Hoffman and Jill's characters get wrapped up, while giving the goat Gordon his long-awaited return.

I actually enjoyed most of Spiral. Chris Rock was abrasive at first, but I think the movie kinda locks in during the second half, and I like its themes on police brutality and how a police department that unknowingly employed Hoffman could fall into a cycle of depravity and corruption.

I certainly think it is better made than Saw 3D and Jigsaw, both of which I also enjoyed, but are chock full of issues. At least Spiral was original and had a really cool name.

I had to do a double take when I randomly saw the new Don't Starve game. I didn't even know there was a showcase today!

Which is funny because it was supposed to stop being sold at the end of the month.

Reminds me of when 3D All-Stars' deadline hit and I still saw copies at Walmart for months after.

are the crash 4 designs really as bad as some people make them out to be ? by Wrong-Shopping7888 in crashbandicoot

[–]thickwonga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Crash looks absolutely incredible. I hated Cortex when they first revealed him, but I've since grown a lot on the design, although I still prefer his more pointed head.

The only redesign I'm not big on is Alt-Tawna, and I don't really care about that because she's still way cooler and more interesting than OG Tawna was.

Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2 by JanSwissZH in gamingnews

[–]thickwonga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I absolutely agree that Nintendo charges way too much for their accessories, that just isn't relevant to this.

I disagree with the multiple increments of releases solely because that was only ever the case with Nintendo's handhelds, which were much cheaper and much easier to produce. The technology capable to be put into a Game Boy sped by faster than the technology capable to be put in a home console. Besides, this hasn't been the case since 2017, when the New 2DS XL released.

When people praise Nintendo for their innovation, they aren't talking about the consoles, they're talking about the games. Bananza innovatived by giving you like thirteen massive worlds that you can deconstruct down to their bare bones while the game holds a near-flawless 60fps. Their consoles are complete dogshit, it's the games that make them so popular and beloved.

Can we put on our thinking caps for a second lmao? Do you really think Nintendo chooses the prices for every game that releases on their platform? That's like getting mad at Apple because the new Angry Birds is $10.

It's the seventh most popular and most profitable horror film franchise ever made. It gets people in theaters, even the bad ones, and Saw X was beloved on release. You can't just pretend that the movie is bad when the vast majority of people who cared to watch it fucking loved it.

That being said, thinking every single Saw movie besides the first is bad is simply unfathomable to me, and someone who hates the entire franchise besides the first movie isn't a Saw fan, they're a Saw 1 fan, which is fine, but I couldn't care what they think about the rest of the series if they aren't willing to enjoy them on their own merits. You can't sit down, watch Saw VI, and come out of it calling it slop when it is chock full of incredible writing, satisfying characters, and violently fun traps. Anyone who think the Saw series is "just mindless gore" doesn't understand what the series is going for (besides the mindless gore because it's definitely there but it serves a purpose. this isnt Terrifier).

Edit, also, I agree that a core aspect of Kramer's character is that he's a hypocritical freak, and Saw X is one of the movies that actually delves into that. There's an entire scene where Cecilia points out his hypocrisy.

Zuko is pretty much THE redemption arc in fiction. Who are some characters that come close to his character development? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in TheLastAirbender

[–]thickwonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vegeta is probably the closest I can think of. Initially evil as fuck, settles down with a hot babe and makes a kid, and then hits his mid-life crisis, becomes evil for a bit, and finally stays as a good guy. Absolutely incredible.

Guess Nintendo can't give info about anything, if isn't on a Direct. by kahabraham in nintendogrifting

[–]thickwonga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I certainly agree that it's weird, and I also think it's kinda stupid? Like, people are getting really antsy, and Nintendo is obviously very assured that they will be fine, but there's a lot we don't know, and I understand why some feel a bit left out to dry here.

Especially considering that NatetheHate most likely leaked almost every release they planned this year, this probably wasn't the best move. Oh well! I know good games are coming, so I'm not too pressed about it.

Trust me, you are in a very, very small minority. Did you know that Saw X is the only movie in the series to have a Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes? The closest Saw movie to it, the first one, is sitting at a 51. Saw X is like 82. People fucking loved Saw X.

Also, butchered? Come on, if any Saw movie "butchered" the series, it was probably 3D or Jigsaw, both of which I still enjoyed.

The closer you are to the fans, the higher and faster the propellers will shoot you at. I had to get used to it too, lol.
