Freaking Crumbum posted:harry potter : read another book :: the office : watch another show I've said this before, but I once read the AVClub blog of an Office episode and the comments below. And these people were opining about how things were in or out of character, taking about plot arcs, callbacks, what they hoped would happen or a character deserved: treating it like it was a soap opera or even real life. Isn't this just a little inappropriate for a dumb sitcom? And on those lines, pop culture sites are becoming tiresome. Reading "trauma" into episodes of Steven Universe, quarterbacking movie studios (I'm sure Marvel is glad that you've got their back), angry that someone think their favourite video game is only okay. That word "parasocial" is getting a lot of work these days.

It's a business model now. Wait, there's actual therapy and trauma in Steven Universe? What the hell.

I like the books because they are fun trash about dicks and velvet doublets it's been a long time since I felt any anticipation for the next one but I will read it nonetheless and enjoy it probably if they do get finished I bet there will be a good GoT TV show based on the books in like 20 years also, speaking of 2040 anyone remember the Phantom 2040 cartoon with the Peter Chung/aeon flux art style? it was pretty good the first 5 episodes are like an origin movie and hold up really well the make-your-own burrito vending machine, the resource wars and so on Egg Moron has issued a correction as of 14:24 on Mar 18, 2020 |

Isn't this just a little inappropriate for a dumb sitcom? The Office was Dilbert strips taped to the outside of your cubicle, except being in the cult of “that’s me! Oh that’s totally you!” was no longer gated behind being a stemlord; now you just needed to be any old loser slowly ground to paste by a meaningless job and a boss with boundary issues. Eventually it flanderized into a office themed Disneyland, but for a while there it was something anyone racing their dreams to see who can die on their feet first could relate to. So people who felt seen got weirdly attached to it. Parks & Rec is sort of the same thing except it started out a Disneyland ride about an America that works so well that Pawnee is an example of it failing. Everyone in America can get in on that delusion, now more than ever.

I don't know which is worse and stupider. Anyway, I just finished watching Aniara. I strongly recommend it if you're in the mood for a bleak space madness movie with a queer woman as a protagonist.
