Cleretic posted:Also anime is generally produced faster than the manga it's adapted from, so unless there's a tremendous amount of manga to adapt already then they need to write up some filler while the manga catches up. Which gives rise to both the 'really dragging out a pre-existing fight scene' type of filler, and the 'now Goku has to learn to drive' type of filler. The latter of which, needless to say, is the best type of filler episode. Didn't this happen with the first Full Metal Alchemist anime leading to a movie about how World War 2 fueled their magic powers or something?

I know there's an episode or two about sexual assault and that seems like a bad mix with typical Sorkin.

I'm not sure I want to re-watch it, but for some reason this conversation is reminding me of it. How well did the movie "Hobo with a Shotgun" age? Reading the plot on Wikipedia seems like maybe OK? But reading the plot also reminds me that I really don't remember much of the movie at all.

hallo spacedog posted:I did not know this but it is also the least surprising thing I've ever read. I still am able to enjoy his novels "Normal" and "Gun Machine" (unless i'm mentally blocking out some stuff) but i'm scared to ever try a Transmetropolitan re-read. Your reaction is pretty much the same as everyone who has read a bunch of his superhero comics though. I know he put out an apology but I can't recall how good it was or how it went over. I stopped paying attention to him after this all came out.

I always enjoyed his non-super stuff more than his superhero stuff, and I'd like to believe that Crecy, Fell, Doktor Sleepless, Ignition City etc. still hold up, but I'd rather keep the good memories of them than have them ruined by my constantly noticing creepy poo poo, and if it's there, I WILL notice.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Mark Millar. I've read enough of his stuff that I believe he must be a wizard to keep getting published and also have that same drek turned into multiple movies. Cleretic posted:Oh yeah, I'm not talking generally how these companies are doing, I know they're flying pretty well. (I should know, over the pandemic I got into both Yu-Gi-Oh and gunpla). I was talking about local play spaces, specifically in Melbourne. A bunch of the central locations shut down, which is a real killer for physical games like TCGs. Doesn't matter how rad your deck is if there's nowhere to play it. I know a lot of M:tG players have moved to online play or switched to other online TCGs because recreating their physical M:tG collection online would be spending money twice for the same stuff.

Tall Tale Teller posted:The thing that always gets overlooked about the Harry Potter series is that the books are absolute garbage. I've read a LOT of fantasy going all the way back to "The King of Elfland's Daughter" by Lord Dunsany up to modern stuff etc, and even the 70's pulp like Leiber's Fafhrd and The Grey Mouser stuff is better written than Harry Potter. When people started reading Harry Potter I gave it a chance and came away thinking "at least people are reading" and "maybe they'll move on to better books." This did not happen.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Hey, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser is often extremely well-written. Too bad about the pedophilia. I was going to use Moorcock's Eternal Champion series as an example of good 70's pulp sci-fi/fantasy, which includes Elric and like 6 other multiple book series of other Eternal Champions, but I couldn't not make some sort of Moorcock/more cock joke and it just wasn't coming to me, unlike more cock.
