Megaman's Jockstrap posted:In the context of the 80s? I think you could make a case for it. Then it must have gone downhill over the course of less than a decade, because I've got three issues from back in '95 and it's pretty much just tits and stoner philosophy.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Yes, it did. Although it was always a mag for late teens/early twenties nerdmen. I mean, was the magazine leagues classier than the 1981 film?

Why cookie Rocket posted:I agree with all that. The "emo superman" complaints ring very hollow for me. But I was still incredibly bored throughout, and I'm not smart enough figure out why I was bored. Personally, and this is my entirely subjective opinion, I thought that Man of Steel didn't really establish its characters as people. To me, at least. When I think back on that movie, the images of Superman I remember are him looking pained with some obvious symbolism going on in the background. Lois, Perry, Martha...they barely register at all. I feel like Man of Steel trades in on a lot of imagery and symbolism, but ends up telling a story that feels oddly empty and clinical. Obviously what you're looking for in a movie will have an enormous impact on what you take away from it.

I only took one film class in college but I majored in English lit, so I can analyze it from a story/character perspective and I don't have any real complaints, but I was just so bored. And I love Kubrick, Kurosawa (my favorite film of all time is Seven Samurai), and Welles (even his "bad ones"), but I just wanted to go do the dishes most of the time I was watching MoS.

CelticPredator posted:Whoever said it earlier, they were right. I don't know why I bothered to come into this thread again. I just flat out don't watch movies or think the same way you guys do. So I kill discussions. Hey, fair enough. Pretty sure I gave you the same advice in the Star Wars thread, but the second reading or posting in a thread starts detracting from your net personal happiness, just stop. Opinions on the Internet aren't worth getting even a little bit upset over.

Darko posted:"Season 4," when they switched animation styles, also had some of the hands down best episodes of the series, as they spread out the storytelling style along with the art. The older episodes are what don't age as well (like 2 standouts in every season), and while hand painted animation is appreciated, only a few episodes like P2 of Clayface 1 and On Leather Wings actually have impressive animation - while half of S4 holds up, and around half of JLU. I remember watching season 4 of Batman: The Animated Series and finding it oddly...bleak, subtextually. Like, yeah, he's got cool new teen sidekicks...but he drove Dick away. Was it because Dick got old enough to question him, so Batman replaced him with a couple of impressionable kids who would worship him unquestioningly? And, of course, Batman Beyond tells us that Batman's having a highly inappropriate relationship with Barbara at the time, having stolen her from Dick, was what caused the rift. And I know Kevin Conroy not using the Bruce Wayne voice was a studio choice, but it also gave the impression that Batman had sunk so far into his delusion that maintaining the Bruce Wayne facade barely mattered to him, anymore. And I remember quite a few stories that involved Batman's villains being pathetic, broken, and washed up by that point. Like, Joker's flat broke and Killer Croc's having a dysfunctional relationship with a former child star in a sewer.

Jonah Galtberg posted:What If Rembrandt Painted In Colour? The irony is that he did. He just didn't know how to properly mix his paints, so they're all slowly degrading. They originally were probably much brighter and vivid.

MacheteZombie posted:Do you have an article about this? My quick googling is failing me and it's an interesting topic I'd like to know more about. I don't have any articles, although apparently there's a book named Rembrand's Eyes that goes into quite paintstaking detail about his process. It's just one of those things you're taught in art history classes. All paintings degrade, particularly red and yellow pigment, and back in the day all artists would have mixed their own paints (or had their assistants do it). The common idea held is that Rembrandt used different pigments than most of his contemporaries, and they faded and darkened much more.
