Sarcopenia posted:Meh. All the main characters have all broken up with each other so instead of having every episode split in like 3 stories (because the couples would usually do stuff together), every episode now has like 6 different plots. Usually there would always be this one eerie main plot (cult, drug fueled D'n'd murders, serial killers, boarding school sociopaths, snuff movies, gangs, incest) lingering behind it all tying everything together, but that seems to be missing. And somehow both the serial killer and mothman/alien plots are so boringly done and far removed from everything else that they take a backseat to art forgery, starting a football/cheer team and a character making their own currency with her high school students. The show has always been a bit exhausting, but this season had my eyes glaze over more than usual. Aw, shoot. Guess I stand corrected. I think the other part of the problem I had with the show was Hiram becoming Aizen-levels of omnipotent and comically evil. Even the fact that his ire was focused towards the Dumbest Boy on Earth didn't really help after awhile.

Kinda finding it hard to believe the Vinny thing, and even if they are real, it’s “had consensual sex with a fan” which ranks hilariously and depressingly low on the list of Things Internet People Have Done. I think the worst part of it is how it muddies the poo poo out of the waters and now no one will believe anything. Which I think was the point - IMO the real goal here was to discredit Twitter-style infodumps and make it easier for the really heinous poo poo to pass. That’s what really makes me worry.

Here is one of them, apparently there's a second one but I can't find it in the #MeToo in Gaming thread: https://twitter.com/actuallylichpit/status/1378180072767680518 I thought you already knew about that because of the "muddle the waters" thing. Like, I couldn't care less about Vinny but the whole thing is actually, for real, very iffy.

This is supposed to be brought to a court of law if it’s a genuine crime, but clearly both society and the law have failed us if anyone feels like they need to rely on loving Twitter and Google Docs to get anything done. Just hosed up both now and later.

Dr Christmas posted:I have a weird feeling that when I discovered her channel, she had more videos. She says she had trouble getting the YouTube bots to accept her most recent video, so did she have more troubles, or am I misremembering what I first saw? Anyway, I like her. She has fun energy. I've lost count on how often I've rewatched her videos on Gotham and Riverdale.

Mr.Radar posted:Defunctland looks at a show that was a staple of pretty much every 90s kid's TV watching: Thanks for this, it was cool. I'm impressed with myself for remembering pretty much everything they mentioned here. Though obviously as a kid I didn't know anything about Rockapella being a pretty hip choice, or how they tried not to be overly anglocentric. Any time the "Where In Time" theme comes up, I have the initial reaction of "boo, this isn't the real deal" followed by "this is still a banger actually" It's nice to know that there apparently wasn't any sordid drama involved in the switch to "Where In Time", but more just the original show running its course. Though I could also easily imagine it running indefinitely. I'm also baffled by the brief mention of a "Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego". Was the answer to every question just "North Dakota"? Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Apr 7, 2021 |

Chieves posted:Aw, shoot. Guess I stand corrected. But we all know that the true reason Riverdale started getting even worse all around was because they switched the actor for my beautiful himbo Reggie, for simple being accused of being involved in a murder for hire plot to kill Francis Bean Cobain's ex husband to get her father's infamous Unplugged guitar back on the behest of Courtney Love and Britney Spears' former manager.

Youth Decay posted:One of my favorite recent youtube discoveries, munecat, released Part 2 of her Tony Robbins video. It is fantastic, well-researched and holy poo poo this guy is a terrifying cult leader it is unbelievable how popular he is. Like Dr. Phil mixed with Alex Jones mixed with Jim Jones. Munecat videos are generally good but the music is a bit cringe. The series she did on the buy to rent guy (forget his name) was excellent.

The Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego theme is an all time great tune. Also the first game I ever played on a PC and I still remember the DOS command to run it. Came with an almanac and everything. EdBlackadder posted:Munecat videos are generally good but the music is a bit cringe. The series she did on the buy to rent guy (forget his name) was excellent. So many youtube channels that are otherwise great have such bad music (or ill-fitting music like the Irish guy who does true crime posted earlier). Just use those same six copyright-free songs everyone uses.

Kibayasu posted:From the name it sounds like education product for North Dakota itself. It is exactly that The Video Game History Foundation published a great article about the story behind the game's creation last year, fittingly titled "Why in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego?" It's based on interviews with the North Dakotan teachers who worked on the game https://gamehistory.org/where-in-north-dakota-is-carmen-sandiego/

The actor who used to play the character Reggie and the adult version of the Asian kid in the Shazam! movie, Ross Butler, was accused of being involved in a kidnapping and murder for hire plot involving sexual assault on the ex-husband of Francis Bean Cobain. The ex-husband was the one who made the accusation against Butler in a lawsuit. I couldn't find an update, but non of the people accused are in prison and he still gets work so it appears that the accusations were false? I also looked it up and he claims that he left the show to be on 13 Reasons Why instead where he had a bigger role. The irony being that his role on Riverdale got a lot bigger the season after he left. Also, 13 Reasons Why is an even worse show with no redeemable qualities what so ever, but I can't blame the man for wanting something a little bit more meaty.

I feel like committing yourself to the long-term future of a show that announces the limitations of its premise in the title is a mistake, like buying pumpkin futures in October.

It's telling that he hasn't even released one of those weird statements about going to rehab to work on himself like Kramer did after calling people the n-word, which I imagine is like a standard hollywood all-purpose "make things go away" strategy.

Sarcopenia posted:I imagine that it's because once his team started working on a statement a new allegation or corroboration has popped up from an ever increasing amount of people. That poo poo has been trickling in for the last 2 months. The worst one for me was Michelle Trachtenberg revealing that Whedon wasn't allowed to be alone with her. It's weird to think this guy was basically in charge of the MCU for a while; talk about a fall from grace. It's kinda interesting to compare him to Zack Snyder now, it's like their careers have become mirror opposites of each other in both tone and trajectory.

Did any of you ever watch The Sensitive Male episode of Johnny Bravo from back in the day? Joss Whedon always kind of gave me the same vibe as that guy in the episode. Someone who preaches sensitivity, tolerance, feminism, etc., but only because he thinks it will get him laid. Honestly, it sounds like his kind of "feminism" has been an open secret since the 90's.
