Aunt May hated the poo poo out of Spider-man and had a heart condition, that was a pretty good reason not to tell her he's risking his life constantly doing something she hates in the comics. There was so much good drama with Peter worrying about her health and the bills and supervillains threatening him and trying not to worry her through it all. Those comics are a master class in dramatic storytelling with all these plates spinning in the air, and you're genuinely convinced they might all come crashing down any second even though you know for a fact they won't. Man, gently caress those Tom Holland movies.

bull3964 posted:I also tire of the secret identity conflict that DC has hung on to. I found it refreshing that the MCU largely dispensed of this. In the era where everything is recorded and people pour over every detail of media, there's no way someone hasn't ID'd batman or superman in like 3 days. https://twitter.com/highonpotenuse1/status/1170328913119236101?s=20  One time a good friend dyed his hair (and eyebrows) blonde and I didn't recognize him at all. We all suffer from GoonFaceBlindness, is it really that farfetched?

I think that stat about only 15-20% finish any video game applies to a lot of media. People dip in pause and never come back to lots of things.

This coincided with a fresh haircut and none of my customers recognized me. A few years later I lost 65 pounds and started wearing my contacts again and it was the same experience all over again.

Holy wow yeah she does look extremely different there, though I don't think it's just the lack of glasses and hair. Like maybe the lighting and angle are also making her look extra different

Checkmate.

Hughmoris posted:Oooo that could be a Lifetime movie: I mean that's such a mundanely common thing though. Selfies in your profile aren't discouraged for purely philosophical reasons. A picture taken that close can make your jawline and profile subtly different and unnerving. Basically I wouldn't want a full movie for this. We can cover it in a single Seinfeld episode.

There's no need to make it more complicated than it is: Clark Kent tells people he works for print media in the 21st century and they literally block out his entire existence as irrelevant. The end.

Each season was like 20 episodes too. The original show runner got fired last year for a toxic work environment. And now it’s canceled.

Yeah it was a whole 80s revival thing along with the Hawaii 5-0 reboot. I only know about Hawaii 5-0 because when the asian cast members wanted equal pay they were fired or ignored.

The only reason I'm not right there with you is how unreasonably mad I was that they tried to remake MacGyver in the first place. Might as well try to remake Seinfeld with some random jackoff instead of Jerry Seinfeld. MacGyver is Richard Dean Anderson.

I've seen a few TikToks of people replicating his inventions so I was pretty sure it was on for a bit and relatively popular. Would have guessed 3 years, not 5 though.

My parents watched the MacGuyver remake a lot so I caught a few episodes here and there. I didn't think it was bad, kind of reminded me of Bones a little bit.

Incidentally, the original MacGyver series has been remastered in 1080p. I couldn't even find a version better than 360p a few years ago, so I'm really glad for that. I watched a few episodes of it on TVLand in the sixth grade, and I don't remember much of it. I remember there was one episode where he was tied to a chair at a dinner table with a brass cupid centerpiece, holding back a cyanide-tipped arrow to be released when a candle finished burning through a rope

Chad's pretty funny, but it's definitely a cringe comedy. I won't lie, part of the joy of the show is watching reddit idiots have meltdowns over the idea of the thing even existing, but I think I'd enjoy it all the same. Check it oouuut.
