Wasn't that the higher-ups telling the writers they had to condense their Amon story into one season? I remember reading that around the time the first season had ended.

TheMaestroso posted:Wasn't that the higher-ups telling the writers they had to condense their Amon story into one season? I remember reading that around the time the first season had ended. the season was written with the assumption they might only get the one, so they didn't want to leave any plot threads hanging. when they got the green light for more seasons, part way through airing, they decided against trying to rewrite the back half of the season at the last second. the second season suffered from, among other things, a different, worse, animation studio doing most of the episodes and nick not knowing where to put it in it's line up, repeatedly killing fan interest/momentum. the third and fourth seasons aren't perfect but they finally got a handle on what they wanted to do with the show and the older-then-average-for-nick audiance

DoctorWhat posted:Thankfully, his (ex)wife and sister (who have the same name, and look, I couldn't date a woman with the same name as my sister) seem happy and successful and haven't been dragged down by his vortex of awful. yeah. i feel bad for her. she has alot of talent and seems like a mostly cool and good person. unlike her brother. Max Wilco posted:The way I remember it being told, Burch pressured his wife into having an open relationship as way for him to try and score with other women, and it ended up backfiring where he struck out, but she ended up dating a few people. Somehow, details of that got out online, though I don't know if it came from him or someone else (I'm not really interested in trying to find out, either). i have heard it as either he pressured her or she pressured him, either way makes him look sad. also he pretended to be Bi so he could have some human contact but when the guy tried to cop a feel or probably hold his hand, he started shrieking on twitter about toxic masculinty. and most of the details came from him. yeah, he is kinda where the over used "CUCK" meme took off. my favorite cringe is where he printed out an anita sarkisian tweet and put it right next to his wedding photos which is super creepy/cringy/trihard. meanwhile he is casting couch people. rear end in a top hat. fallenturtle posted:There seems to be a growing list of people who seemed cool and were featured on the Indoor Kids podcast and later turned out to be creeps. Is Ashley still okay? he was never cool but yeah ash is good and fine, she got the good genes i guess. Monicro posted:I'm breaking my ninja oath to never actually post in this thread but asexual just means you don't experience sexual attraction, it doesn't mean you don't like having romantic partners or even that you don't enjoy sex. Supposedly (from what i remember of reading the poo poo last night) a small part of what catalyzed the whole mess was she freaked out about being attracted to someone for the first time, which I mean fine, because sexuality is a fluid and fickle thing and there are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy way way way better things to criticise holly for than that sorry, didnt mean to be a prick. i guess i meant more meant asexual in the terms of intercourse not aromatic(which is probably the wrong term). i know its giant spectrum but i find it hard to trust anything she writes as of right now, so for all i know, she is using it as an excuse.

Separate the larger context of this guy—who appears to be a cringy and possibly abusive shithead—situations like this aren't as uncommon as you might think. Plenty of bi dudes, even those who've had sex with men, still take flirting and advances from other guys super poorly. If someone groped Burch without consent that's obviously not cool, but I've also seen a guy almost have a panic attack when come on to by someone he was attracted to. The Byzantine labyrinth of acceptable masculine expression fucks people up right the hell up. Like, "I'd love to suck your dick but I'll break your jaw if you try to kiss me" kind of hosed up.

Korra had so many issues, but I still like it a lot. Especially due to the sheer guts they had to advance the world so much and be so drat ambitious with it. Amon was awesome and could have used a long story arc. That said, I enjoyed how the series basically broached all four ideological extremes: totalitarianism, religious extremism, Anarchism and Nationalism. for a kids/teens show, that's a tall order. And even more, by the end they were basically showing that one could not simply disregard those factors but at least try to understand them and incorporare the less toxic, more beneficial aspects of each.

People will think it’s hardcore right wing propaganda, but I don’t view it like that. I just think the story is super fun and crazy and melodramatic about architecture and sex.” He added, “It’s about time we get a different president so we don’t take poo poo so seriously!”

For years, he’s wanted to adapt Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. For a while, it was thought that that would be his next project. Although it’s on hold for now, Snyder still has a script in development, not for a feature length film, but for a television series.

Pants Donkey posted:All this talk about public airing of private matters makes me concerned about a lot of poo poo I see on YouTube. The Trending tab frequently sports videos of couples sharing their marriage plans with viewers, and even discussing how their parents reacted? Or more disturbing lily white nuclear families vlogging practically their whole personal lives. You know, people with young children. Welcome to hellworld where this already happened and is probably still happening in some form or another. There was an incident from a few years ago now where the family was emotionally abusing one of their kids (who just so happened to be from a previous marriage) for Youtube fodder. Max Wilco posted:Well, that just proves Burch is an idiot, because anyone with an iota of common sense would not want Borderlands 2: Adventures in Meme Land anywhere on their resume when applying as a writer. Borderlands 2 being wall to wall memes is an overblown exaggeration that's been regurgitated ad nauseum in lieu of more accurate and salient criticisms.

also who cares if he said Rand was nuts, The Fountainhead was just as political as Atlas, all he's doing is admitting he's genuinely so stupid he read a giant political rant book and only got 'oooh...ARCHITECTURE....' out of it. Which, like, yea I believe it.

Stupid gives him too much credit. That kind of myopic reading of The Fountainhead is something you only get by being so well insulated by wealth and privilege that you can 'enjoy' the story absent its poisonous ideology. It's like when I was thirteen and enjoyed the hell out of Rainbow Six because I'd liked the video games and was too cuddled to grasp why making global ecoterrorists the big bad guy was maybe not kosher.
