BENGHAZI 2 posted:Also what if Spiderman was magic is legit one of the best ideas thats been brought to that table in decades and it was a ton of fun and I hate them for ignoring it considering that it gave us the comic book event that gave us the best superhero movie since blade you're gonna have to explain what you're talking about here since I have no idea what graphic novel/run this is and what the "best CB movie since blade" is (it's deadpool but he's marvel and you're talking about dc so you're thinking of something else)

the magic spider-totem stuff led to the spider-verse arc and thus provided the background for Into The Spider-Verse although there was some influence from the Spider-Men event and even the original Grant Morrison idea for that story (Spider-man meeting a loser Spider-man from another universe - hence Peter B. Parker)

I'm so glad I never watched a single episode of Lost. Even when my friends were into it, before the final season was over, I just had a feeling it'd be a waste of time.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:the only part of that show i ever saw was alex baldwin demanding they pretape coverage for disasters and they're brainstorming things that could happen and someone says "a tornado hits a handgun factory" its lib as hell but its also my favorite sitcom of all time Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning (the episode you saw) is actually a pretty good example of the topicality and why I'm concerned about how it'll age - the disaster only affecting Mel Gibson's private island will probably be funny for a long time because that's who he is in cultural consciousness, but the extra joke about Jon Gosselin being his houseguest is increasingly more likely to prompt a "who?" as time goes on than actually land MizPiz posted:My comment was more of a "libs would cancel the show every week if it was produced today" take. It's just a great contrast to the hypersensitivity to negativity that characterizes the overtly liberal shows airing today, especially since there are a few jokes that were eh even speaking in generalities, its a network sitcom that was actually funny, it rarely takes when people try to #cancel those for spurious reasons, plus its not like 30 Rock didn't have people trying at the time (or its own share of legit controversies, which did, for example, result in the pretty bad "Idiots Are People Too/Two" two-parter) the different style can be partially attributed to legit differences in the comedic/cultural zeitgeist, but also (imo) to a greater degree of confidence on the part of the creators - it's hard to think of too many shows that talked as much poo poo about the network airing them as 30 Rock did Pener Kropoopkin posted:I'm so glad I never watched a single episode of Lost. Even when my friends were into it, before the final season was over, I just had a feeling it'd be a waste of time. similar - I did watch the first season (partway through its airing) on the recommendation of some people and then just noped out completely during the first episode of season 2 LGD has issued a correction as of 05:04 on Dec 17, 2019 |

I have, both are excellent of course, and I'm not trying to claim it isn't arbitrary/subjective I'm essentially basing "favorite" on which sitcom I've been most consistently inclined to put on in the background when I'm cooking or working over the last decade

Doomsday Clock, the year long sequel to watchmen that took like three years to come out, ends Wednesday and I'm going to binge the whole thing in a fit of madness and masochism and I'm bringing you all with me Also the most recent* Dredd story is about Dredd going to Guatemala because the robots did a coup and are running the country and threatening to nuke the world while living under embargo and Dredd has to work with the Humanistas to overthrow the new government *For me, I'm like two months behind because of the delay in getting the prog here

as someone that watched every episode of lost it has the same message as the leftovers in the end, that being your friends and family are all that truly matter. it works better after 3 seasons of leftovers though since the show always had that at its forefront and didn't spend nearly as much time building up a mythos just to disappoint you in the end

I just got done watching It Comes at Night and didn't really like it because, without spoiling too much, the ending ultimately justifies the "family first, trust nobody" ethos. Like I get they were probably going for some kind of cosmic justice thing, but within the context of the setting it just validates the dad.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:Peters middle name is also Benjamin, loser Spidey is our Spidey Peter B Parker was basically Ditko era Spidey; luckless, aloof and selfish. I watched a video that pointed out Spider-verse is basically the first time Miles Morales has gotten a significant personality and spotlight, since his original comics debut was kind of a mess and the MCU basically ripped everything original about his life for their version of Peter Parker, so Spider-verse had to play up different elements of the character to have him stand out from the various Peters. Having him be more creative and social than geeky Parker makes for a new perspective, as well as his family already being involved on both sides of the law and giving him an existing connection to the superhero/villain world.

His comics debut was the furthest thing from a mess, anybody who says that has never opened a comic, all those things they touted as bold and original (minus his creative side) was pulled directly from his debut, the biggest difference is he didn't accidentally kill his uncle with a taser punch in the movie And mcu Peter is nothing like him wtf BENGHAZI 2 has issued a correction as of 06:34 on Dec 17, 2019 |

Mcu Spidey is a mash up of like, ultimate Peter Parker plus Spiderman circa civil war, there's zero miles influence besides that Ganke is in there sorta j guess why do you watch YouTube videos about comics things literally everyone who does them is the stupidest human alive and if I had any idea how I would make my own out of spite

No j want to see wild British poo poo get adapted so my actual choice is Cradlegrave, a lovecraftian horror story set in a council estate that is as much about the horrors of the inescapable nature of poverty and the crime that it breeds as it is the weird Cthulhu poo poo

wait wait let me see if i can guess what it was through half remembered pop culture headlines i saw several years ago did the whole thing just devolve into a bizarre rapture allegory where the cylons thought they were taking orders from god and maybe they were maybe they werent but the closer the show got to the end the less it actually seemed to matter

The apparitions of Baltar and Number 6 turned out to not be delusions but were literal angels sent by God to make sure humans & cylons would kiss & make up.

speaking of half remembered pop culture headlines i got to the part of breaking bad where gus sets walt and jesse against each other and i find it hilarious how his evil plan was just to give jesse a second cooler job in the hopes it would improve his self esteem issues and make him less of a miserable gently caress up the evil plan reading appears to rely entirely on assuming that walts analysis of the situation is correct even though hes just being a narcissistic shithead the great irony being that if walt wasnt a narcissistic shithead the evil plan wouldnt work at all
