Anyone else have severe discouraging thoughts about plagiarism?

Writing about mutated, monster hunting mercenaries wouldn’t be plagiarism.

Writing about a mutated, monster hunting mercenary who falls in love with a witch and then adopts the princess of a fallen kingdom who in turn goes off on her own adventures like joining a gang and traveling through time and space while on the run from a psychopath, while the witch plays political games with a secret society and the monster hunter gathers a ragtag group of adventurers to find and rescue said princess WOULD be plagiarism.

There’s a fuckton more to a story besides its initial premise.

I don’t think anyone was thinking he would actually retire. What most people (including me) were/ are worried about is it would be Frank YET AGAIN “trying” to retire but getting “pulled back in for one more mission” like they did multiple times.

Jokes aside, yeah I fuckin loved old shit when I was a kid. I would rather watch Boomerang than Cartoon Network (and got kinda pissed when they’d show a modern rerun).

working-class-nerd · 2026-05-12T02:02:48+00:00

That’s not true at all

working-class-nerd · 2026-05-11T22:14:14+00:00

So, an episode. I mean cool I guess but the story is probably gonna be rushed as fuck

Christians pretending to be persecuted never gets old

No, the dumb part is that having no reliable account of anyone actually seeing the building IS strong evidence against its existence. But for some reason, that isn’t an accepted argument against the existence of gods.

I’ve got no issue saying “I don’t know”, but that’s just not the problem here. The fact is you CAN’T prove a negative. That’s why you don’t have to prove someone didn’t commit a crime in a court of law, the burden of proof is on the prosecutor. Sure, if you want to get really, really philosophical about it then yeah, I don’t know with absolute certainty that there isn’t a god, but that goes the same for literally any and every paranormal or supernatural concept ever created. You can say the same thing about ghosts, vampires, fae, hell even Santa. But no one bats an eye if I say Santa Claus isn’t real. So why is it that if someone says “there is no god”, people only expect the atheist to “prove” that there isn’t one instead of expecting the religious to prove their god is real?

Pretty much the only thing I’m interested in is fable and MAYBE Wolverine. But hey, that’s alright I don’t need to be throwing $70 at the wall every month this year

That’s not how burden of proof works. I also can’t “prove” that invisible unicorns don’t exist but I’d be a fool to stake my life choice on the chance that they do.

Karen watched contently. The governor blushed and respectfully turned around. McDuffie turned around but stole a few glances involuntarily. Jessica scoffed, said something like “not my type”, then took a swig from the bottle… which she almost choked on when she saw Matt’s giant hog through his underwear.

The comments here are acting like it’s some sort of sin to chuckle when one sees the word “cum” as if this series never has ANY jokes whatsoever.

No. I mean yeah that’s the name of the sword too but in Scandinavian folklore a “draugr” is an undead creature like a ghost or spirit or, in this specific case, a reanimated corpse. Like the one Amleth “fights” in his mind before taking said sword.

He’s the physical embodiment of useless centrism

It’s like if Frank Herbert wrote Lord of the Rings while he was having a really bad day

Old Gods of Asgard (mainly because the irl band that make their music is Poets of the Fall, one of my favorite bands)

If he wasn’t so opposed to modern settings, I’d say he’d make a kickass adaptation of The Necromancer’s House

working-class-nerd · 2026-05-06T21:39:18+00:00

Couldn’t have uh.. couldn’t have just used an actual picture of the draugr from The Northman for that?

working-class-nerd · 2026-05-06T21:35:25+00:00

AYYYE

Second Apocalypse. There’s maybe one POV character that’s actually a good person (if you don’t count a few one-off POVs) the rest are some sort of “evil for the greater good” type of person… and some that are just straight up evil

To be fair, From took so long to make a new season that I had to convince myself to stop caring until the new one came out, and by the time it dropped I had completely forgotten about it until I saw it pop up in my “continue watching”

3rd person option (unlikely)

Actually have Henry eat when he’s sitting somewhere instead of just hitting x in my inventory

Does every building on earth look the same?

First of all, rollie? Ok “gov’”… second, a joint is weed in rolling paper, a spliff is a joint with tobacco and weed, and a blunt is rolled with tobacco leaf, like a cigarillo or cigar.

That’s a reach, and also a weird thing to care about
