Saw that Army of the Doomstar is up on Max. While the plot was nothing really the write home about I did enjoy all the interesting imagery, especially everything around the possession.

Larryb posted:What is the official explanation for the magic weakness anyway (assuming it’s still a thing in modern day)? From what I recall being told: Unlike Earth, Krypton just didn't have any native magic or supernatural poo poo! So he's about as vulnerable to magic as everyone else, maybe ever so slightly more than the average joe on earth, assuming the wizard or whatever isn't trying to brute force through his physical invulnerability.

The Klok Opera really set the bar high, I listen to the score often. My husband and I were just bored with the new one despite the gorgeous animation. Brendan Small made a whole movie for people who are way into the lore while forgetting the band is supposed to be a bunch of dumbasses

While that hasn't come up before, funny thing is it makes sense, kinda. DC Earth has shitloads of magic going around, quasi mystical forces like the Speed Force and plenty of divine and semi divine beings. Krypton had Rao in some things, but that's about it. Superman is probably less magical than the average human. Also realising the possible implication in Man of Steel that Kryptonians aren't physically suited for Earth's atmosphere, but their adjustment period might just be absorbing enough yellow sun radiation that their powers kick in and it doesn't matter anymore.

I also just started watching Royal Crackers s2 and holy poo poo does this show go hard. poo poo gets so nonsensical but it somehow doesn't feel out of place. And the violence. We're talking American Dad levels of violence that has incredible detail. I did not see the spin class deaths coming and that poo poo made me wince. This season does seem to be more focused on characters like someone else said and it's so much stronger for it. Theodore Hornsby is an absolute and unrepentant monster and it helps you to not feel bad for him because of his current circumstances or the lovely way he is treated. He deserves every second of it. Stebe in the interview killed me. Amazing.

There was a tumblr I liked that went diving into piecing together what Kryptonian society was apparently like, and Ithink it's real neat. https://kryptonculture-blog.tumblr.com/ It's a mix of classic sci-fi weirdness, vague ideas of retro utopianism, and just straight-up bizarre old school comic weirdness. Krypton isn't really meant to be an example of a society that earth should aspire to or a cautionary tale, it was just a very weird and different (although high-tech) place that is gone and never coming back.

If you're super into DC lore in general, HubCityQuestion/Alex Jaffe (@alexjaffe.bsky.social) does a lot of really good deep dives into lore in a very "I'm excited about this and I want to share this cool thing I found with you" way rather than a  way.

royal crackers seems pretty good based on the first 3 eps of s1. there are some clunker jokes but it's actually made me laugh.

It really picks up when it decides to just be super weird. Like I wasn't a fan of the first episode where it seems like just a knock off Succession.

It can also have some very out there jokes that you'll only get if you have a very in depth knowledge of whatever they are talking about. I know quite a bit about nu-metal but I'm sure there are a few jokes that go over my head because I'm not an expert on nu-metal. Stebe is good about that too. When they are on the yacht I feel like he rattles off a bunch of jokes that would be hilarious if I understood what they were referencing, or at least understood it better. When you do get the reference though its incredible. My favorite joke from Season 1 is when someone busts into Matt's room and it shows him playing an anime porn game while messing with the model's boob sliders. Not a word is said as Matt stares the person down and they leave looking disturbed. It was perfect.

I know the creator to some degree, and it definitely seems like more of his personal humor is coming through in the second season and is feeling a lot more like what I would have expected it to be from the start

I just started watching this too and I can't believe I slept on it. It's genuinely hilarious. Somehow Adult Swim is still picking winners even given the generally degraded state of cable TV with stuff like this and Smiling Friends.

I love the running gag that whenever someone talks about or does something sexually explicit Matt is around with his mouth open and has a 1000 yard stare. "You almost died there Theo! Luckily Matt was there to find you!" Cuts to Matt:  Even the most recent episode where his parents are talking about how much they want to do each other before Stebe gets out of the car and Deb drives away while Matt is in the backseat
