yeah I eat rear end posted:I agree with this, but the ones "bullying" you shouldn't be your peers. There should be a formal system with rules and regulations where the teachers are allowed to mold you into a functional person. The way it works now you have bullies beating on weak people with no supervision and no recourse if they go too far without subjecting yourself to more intense bullying. Let teachers have absolute authority and I think we'd be a lot better off. Coddling helps nobody. Teachers used to be allowed to, and did, beat the students with wooden rods. Is that the kind of authority you are talking about? Bullying produces people who are timid and depressed, and people who have a chip on their shoulder and are looking for an excuse to gently caress someone up. Neither is good.

Blue Star posted:Feminism should 100% concentrate on the betterment and empowerment of female human beings. Feminists and feminist movements shouldn't have to lift a finger for males, whether they're cisgender males or transgender. Biological sex matters. Reproductive rights matter. The fact that female humans are an oppressed class under patriarchy matters. That's ALL that loving matters. Males, regardless of what they identify as, should not interfere or seek to include themselves. They are irrelevant to feminism and should recognize themselves to be such. Cis women oppressing transwomen is morally worse than cis men oppressing cis women.

Stargate definitely is more appealing to the average "parent" because it has the army, armed with machine guns, fighting evil aliens with glowing eyes. That said it had some high points and the army thing actually works narratively.

veni veni veni posted:I'm not actually calling it bad. I've seen a total of maybe 2 episodes of it. It's not the type of thing I would ever devote time to penetrating, but it may very well be good if you are. I'm just saying it's junky looking and unnapealing on an aestetic level. Babylon 5 has a grand story planned out 5 seasons in advance about politics, ethics, philosophy, time travel, etc. produced cheaply, at times acted poorly, and undercut with constant uncertainty about whether they would get renewed for another season. It's a great show if you can look past the problems, but it's gonna be pretty impossible to get into now unless you are the turboest of nerds. *it's easily the best show of all the ones mentioned in the last few pages doverhog has a new favorite as of 19:35 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Jerry Cotton posted:It's based on a serial by Alan Moore in Warrior in the early 1980s actually Yes, I'm sure the studio buying the option or the guys making the movie read Warrior in 1980. In any case, the comic is different, mainly in that V is not in any way a hero. He's a tragic consequence of fascism and government terrorism, a monster they created, but still unequivocally a monster. The plot is fairly close, but like Watchmen the tone and the message of the piece is more or less completely lost.

So did you actually read Tolstoy, or pick his name from a list of classics to have someone you know is safe to call "good"? Jerry, that's a fine opinion to have, but you didn't answer the question.

steinrokkan, you are categorically saying that the medium of comics is trashy in and of itself? I'm not saying that Alan Moore is the greatest writer, I'm saying that he is good. This is not an unpopular opinion among, for example, professional critics.

yeah I eat rear end posted:If he won't I will. Maybe I would use a different word, but trashy is good enough. Many comics are popular and successful, but only among children/teens (physical or mental). I am sure you are about to point to the ~adult~ comics and "graphic novels", but inserting the word "gently caress" every two words doesn't make it anything any self respecting adult should spend time reading. Read Sandman, From Hell and Promethea and report back to the thread to be graded.

From Hell, for example, is over 500 pages, in black and white, and about the police investigation (and freemasons and other stuff) of the Jack the Ripper murders in late 1800s London. The target audience is not teenagers, and there are no superheroes in it.
