My last test of this semester is Calculus on the 15th, and I have a rough week ahead with two other tests coming up and an assignment for a subject I'm not great in. So having that to binge after all that will be a nice way to relax, and get my mind off the fact I've probably failed at least one subject ![]()

I would never Skip Intro this show, too cute. I respect that it's there overall. I do think it's funny it *always* pops up, regardless of show. For example, by the time I move my mouse to hypothetically hit "Skip Intro" on Better Call Saul it would already be over!

I’m trying to remember the show I was watching that had the [Skip Intro] thing for a really short one, and it worked out longer to press it and have the show load up from after the jump than to just let it play. It wasn’t BCS. I also skipped the Voltron intro because I always felt the theme music wasn’t particularly good (unlike the in episode score, which was amazing.)

For every show except for BCS, I watch the theme song again at the start of a half-season or when a new batch of episodes comes out, then skip it for the rest of the episodes in the batch, unless I'm doing something like adjusting the volume and turning closed captioning on while it plays

If some one gave me a time machine that could only be used to change trivial pop culture stuff I would use it to make Hugo Martin the show runner of the new He-Man series instead of Kevin Smith. Personally, I am not very excited for this project but the voice acting cast is ridiculously stacked, they got big name just to play Skeletor's henchmen. Just look at it: Chris Wood - Prince Adam / He-Man Mark Hamill - Skeletor Sarah Michelle Gellar - Teela Liam Cunningham - Man-At-Arms Lena Headey - Evil-Lyn Diedrich Bader - King Randor and Trap Jaw Alicia Silverstone - Queen Marlena Stephen Root - Cringer Griffin Newman - Orko Susan Eisenberg - Sorceress Kevin Michael Richardson - Beast Man Kevin Conroy - Mer-Man Henry Rollins - Tri-Klops Jason Mewes - Stinkor Alan Oppenheimer - Moss Man Justin Long - Roboto Tony Todd - Scare Glow Phil LaMarr - He-Ro Cree Summer - Priestess Harley Quinn Smith - Ileena Tiffany Smith - Andra side_burned fucked around with this message at 19:54 on May 11, 2020 |

Man, there isn't even the pretense of civility. He's just twisting the knife. ...I kind of love it. You don't get that many villains that you just love to hate nowadays.

Is it? It's just a name, and they have to come from some where. There's plenty of people named for characters in popular television shows, movies, games, books etc. Why is naming one after a comic book character remarkable? It's not even a new phenomenon, given that people have been naming kids for mythical figures for millenia, and that's basically the same idea.

I think it's less 'comic book character' and more 'villain'. That said, Harley is a perfectly normal name and I presume Quinn is just her middle name. She probably doesn't go by Harley Quinn in day to day conversation.

I vaguely recall news stories a few years ago about people who'd named their children after a Game of Thrones character, and were becoming horrified at it because of what the character had become. I want to say it was Cersei, but she was pretty vile from the beginning really, so maybe it was Daenerys? Either way, at least Harley Quinn was evil from the off, so he obviously knew what he was getting in to. He's talked about it before on his podcasts, and said that when he started dating his wife, he got her to read a few comics and Harley Quinn was a character she actually liked and said she liked the name of, so it was a mutual decision on their part to name their kid Harley Quinn apparently. Which has obviously worked out a bit for her later in life, because it landed her a gig working for DC for a short while doing a show on their DC streaming app if nothing else.

The more I think about the last season of Game of Thrones the more things I find that make confuse me or make me angry. The only other media that has done are the Star Wars prequels.

The_Doctor posted:True. Said series has now been cancelled due to almost universal backlash. Why? It sounds like it might have been an interesting setting to explore some topical themes, given that binary choice (North or South) was such a pivotal event in American history. I haven't even seen Game of Thrones, but from what I gather of them as creators it doesn't sound like they'd make the best use of it, but it seems like a good setup at least and I wouldn't think they garnered so much hate for the last season that it'd essentially tank their public cache. Was it just that people assumed it'd glorify the idea of the South winning too much? That it'd get the history, causes etc wrong? That no-one trusted them to write that story? Or just that the idea of a show at least partially discussing racism is just that toxic that no-one wants to see it because the likelihood is it wouldn't do the theme justice? tsob fucked around with this message at 14:16 on May 12, 2020 |
