Thats the old one right?

That's Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Smallville got way too repetitive for me and their need to not have him actually become Superman, while going on for season after season, became tiresome. Plus the action sucked. All Clark ever did was push people. I do give them credit for casting/writing a great Lois Lane, however.

just why

Will Smith saw a well-done fan trailer that was very popular and decided it sounded like a good concept. And I'd say he was right because the show is pretty good!

My heart stopped for a moment, then I remembered modern Disney doesn't allow female villains. Much less would they turn the smartest, most popular member of the team into a villain.

Hela was the villain of Thor Ragnarock and not redeemed in any way. Magica De Spell is still a villain in Ducktales. I'm sure there are others, as well.

What are some examples of this?

The must have meant millennials right?

people born like 1980-1995 are millennials

No, I meant Generation X. People born during those years didn't exactly grow up during those artists haydays. They didn't see Michael moonwalk for the first time live, as an example.

But for Gen X, this was really one of the first "This one's for you" Halftime Show.

How do Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson not qualify as being for Generation X?

I always found it super weird that the Jedi wear robes in the Prequels.

Everyone wore robes on Tattooine (Sp?) because it was a hot as fuck desert planet. Luke wore robes, Uncle Owen wore Robes.

Luke stopped wearing robes when he left the planet and went elsewhere.

Also Ben is in hiding with a new identity and trying to keep that he is a Jedi secret. So why is he wearing Jedi Robes?

Why are they sitting around in lukewarm (no pun intended) skyscraper buildings on a mild planet in EP1 wearing desert robes?

It's so weird and everyone just accepts it as Star Wars lore.

Jedi are supposed to basically be warrior monks. People expect wise monks to wear robes as part of the aesthetic. The in-story reason is tradition.

Patty_Fleur posted...

But that's the order of the story.

No, it really isn't. Order of release is that way for a reason and affects how the story flows.

If you're watching them for the first time then you shouldn't start with Episode 1.

He gave his examples. People making jokes.

Now if someone, say a coworker, made jokes about you eating tacos because they're Hispanic, then I'd agree that is wrong. But if it's a stand up comedian making jokes, then they're just jokes and not discrimination. Context matter.

His example is a bit too wide, as you show. So I'm wanting more specifics to understand the context TC means.

Stallion_Prime posted...

so its pretty much just white people telling me other wise huh? lol

Im not white. But I'm wondering what examples you have that make you feel like Latino discrimination is "widely" accepted?

It's not.

Also, can I just say, if someone comes to your door and your first thought is to grab a gun and scare them offyoure a fuckin pussy. People come to my door a lot. Delivery drivers, sales people. Sometimes because of the way my housing community is set up I cant see what truck they have through the hole. I never once thought oh shot I need to grab a gun this guy is trouble!

I fuckin hate redneck gun nuts like this.

He didn't even come to their door. They followed after him.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Nowhere is that in the job description for a FedEx employer. By that logic they're negligent fir not supplying bulletproof vests.

pogo_rabid posted...

What is worth discussing is the responsibility on fedex's end for sending a guy out in an unacceptable state.

No, it isn't. No rational person should expect to be shot at for simply delivering packages, including the employers.

It doesn't matter if the car was marked or not. That doesn't mean they can just shoot at a stranger.

Pretty sure work is trying to set me up with another coworker. Theres a small gathering tomorrow and were both invited. If we click I was planning on asking her out (something casual like lunch the following weekend).

provided she says yes, getting anything for her on Valentines would definitely be too fast right? We arent even a thing yet. Someone I know IRL is telling me I should, but i think it would creep her out.

No need to get her anything but saying "Happy Valentine's Day" would be ok, provided you click and talk for a bit to get to know each other.

All of them are written by the same guy, the Biden one is just so good because you can easily look past the cringy nonsense to the fact that it's super metal.

That and the fact that even liberals thought Biden saying that was dumb. So it's ok to make fun of because it's spot on.

Well you have both the Ahsoka and Obi Wan shows coming up, so you're getting what you want.

WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted...

Something I noticed, and there's a chance I'm mixing up the books with the movies...

In JP 1 Grant said the T-Rex vision is based on movement.
In either JP2 or 3 someone, I forget who, said that people used to think the TRex vision was based on movement but they were wrong and then the T-Rex eats someone who was standing still.

The trailer for this one they seem to stop moving when they see the T-Rex and two characters say "stay still."

The part I'm confused about is the JP2/3 part. I may be mixing it up with the second book and it could be that somewhere in the second book that conversation happens but I don't remember.

The trailer could easily be a misdirect. as in we're supposed to think standing still works but they use the explanation from the other two films and it attacks.

ExtremeLuchador posted...

The leopard doing it wasn't realistic.

Which sticks out because everything else in the movie was very realistic.

It's more because people were expecting him to be packing. So the clowning is more from disappointment and it's kinda funny lol

The world at large sees some dumb racehorses as more valuable than humans

This isn't true at all. A random person isn't going to care about saving the life of a race horse over that of another person. That's a pretty ridiculous thing to believe.

The only people who might pick the horse over another person are those that directly benefit from the horse. That's a very small group.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

I mean... they've been using social media influencers to push product for years, now. If it wasn't generating a profit, I doubt they'd still be doing it so feverishly.

Exactly my thinking. That's why TC had to use such a ridiculous percentage in their example to make the "point."

pinky0926 posted...

It's not a stretch of the imagination to think that the main demographic for an instagrammer who's main brand offering is nudity is not gonna be people looking for fashion inspiration

Except those aren't the "influencers" they having promote their brands. They aren't going to OF pages with lewds and the like. They are finding attractive young women who wear make-up, give styling tips or do dances. And their fans are very much in the same demographic that will shop at places like Fashion Nova or Express.

pinky0926 posted...

Yes - without having any real data on the demographic you have to some assumptions on the intent of the audience.

So then your point is kinda worthless because it could also be far less than that.

pinky0926 posted...

Of those 20k people, let's say 95% are really just thirsty dudes here to fap to your pics.

Why would it be 95%? Are you just using arbitrary numbers?

MICHALECOLE posted...

Twitter is the worst things to happen to politicians ever. Its like.. just dont have a fuckin Twitter so you dont say some stupid shit and ruin your career forever.

You're under the incorrect assumption they think they would/could ever say something dumb. They think that what they're posting is actually intelligent/good.

Yes, it's pretty great and good political commentary on current times. So in that way, it's just like the original graphic novel (which it's a sequel to as opposed to the movie.)

We could call it the Big Car Steals.

yeah, so basically, they got their feelings hurt

"oh no you said a racial slur. i cant punch you so you're hiding behind a screen"

yeah, people on the internet use racial slurs, cry about it

Its not about feelings being hurt at all. But this looks to be a troll topic, so enjoy!

blackpanther59 posted...

so lets focus on "talking shit", what does that entail exactly? and doesnt that mean people just got their feelings hurt? "oh no you didnt act with curteosy, you're hiding behind a screen"

yeah so what? get over it

No. It's more that the other person is saying directly insulting/offensive things. Specifically things that, if said in person, would likely result in a fight/altercation.

The swoop bikers and at least one Gamoran are probably cannon fodder.

TroutPaste posted...

It's the absolutism of not reading white men
Instead, just don't read them and keep it to yourself, platform on the positive new people emerging

Why should they "keep it to themselves" when writing articles like this is their job? Lol

Hell, even if it wasn't their job, why not explain the rationale behind the decision?

TroutPaste posted...

Could have been positive without the negative. Should still read "cis-het" white men among the rest, proportionately. It's unnecessary to isolate what you're not going to do instead of what you're going to do

How could they not write about the negative aspects when that's what the article is about? Simply saying they want to read more diverse takes wouldn't explain "why" they do.

It's only annoying when they don't normally talk like that and switch up for black people. That goes for any of the other words mentioned, too.

Cad Bane is an amalgam of every badass Western "lone gunman" type.

There was outrage before the showed even aired.

Bc they blamed Bruno for something they know he didn't have any part in. It was a pointless conflict in the movie.

That's not "bad writing." You do know how projection works, right? That's one of the ways generational trauma happens. It's the exact opposite of pointless, actually.

Bad writing too.
