RWBY died with Pyrrha.

But yeah, after how S4 turned out (especially in comparison to S3), I could've told you then and there that the series would faff about for years longer than it should have and never come to a satisfying conclusion (if any).

I'm of the opinion that Season 3 (iirc the first season after he passed) was the only really good one. But then again I never got into machinima culture and only watched the show on recommendation from a friend.

When I started typing this topic the title was Whiplash has a bad message, on the premise that the movie ultimately vindicates and practically celebrates Andrews abuse and his abuser. I still kind of feel that way but Im also confronted by the feeling that Fletcher is constructed so nefariously yet also in a way that really reflects real life. People like Fletcher are everywhere, people you cannot convince they are wrong about something because they have shaped their understanding of the world in a way that comforts and validates themselves no matter what outcome of their actions. As long as you want to defeat such a person and define defeating as changing their mind, you will never win.

Pretty astute observation. That's why it's always healthier to focus on seeing yourself win than seeing someone else lose.

I saw the ending and a little bit of the middle of this movie while someone else had it playing in the background. What little I saw was excellent - resonated a bit with my own small experience in high school / college band. There's definitely people like JK Simmons' character out there in every level of that scene.

You're trying to attribute comedy where there is none. We have it straight from the creator what Saitama's deal is and it's not "a joke" and the series is not a joke either. There's no need to make up things about the series when we are told explicitly what it is.

Guess that helps explain why I completely lost interest in the anime about midway through S2.

Greg Gutfeld. In the early 2000's Stuff magazine with Greg as Editor-in-Chief was a cornerstone of my comedic tastes right alongside Mel Brooks and Monty Python - it was obvious even then that the mag had a right-wing slant, but at the time I was very much a prototypical enlightened centrist so it didn't bother me.

Even factoring out the political angle of his stuff nowadays (assuming that's even possible), what I've seen is the epitome of predictable low-hanging fruit.

What did they say?

IIRC it wasn't the dialogue that stuck in my craw so much as Aerith was over-gesticulating her every animation like a J-Pop idol on ecstasy - cringey behavior in any context, but especially when you're trying to rescue a little girl in the few precious minutes remaining before a literal city falls on your heads. Which might explain why I can't remember whether it was in English or Japanese. I guess it's a moot point anyway, since it's a single half-remembered prerelease clip versus all the other clips I've seen since which were much more tolerable.

Did you at least save and quit once you got it then restart, to avoid walking back thru the spikes?
I've seen a pretty sad number of people play it the first time and actually go back thru it again...

I mean, you can just use the Staff itself to exit the cave without damage, right? I guess I couldn't say for 100% certainty since it's been so long since I got it without the Magic Cape, but it'd be a pretty weird proviso if the Staff of Byrna protected you from all damage except spikes.

Honestly my biggest reason for not wanting to play either of the FFVII remakes is that I don't know if I have it in me anymore to deal with extensive anime dialogue.

I'm...kinda in the same boat. I remember several years ago watching the scene of Aerith rescuing Marlene from 7th Heaven before the plate collapse; it must've been the Japanese version because it was unbearable, as in "holy shit, this can't be how the creators envisioned these characters in the original game, can it?!"

I think the American version must've gotten some good localization though, because other scenes I've seen since then are much better.

I don't want to throw up a ton of spoiler tags so I'll say that I was still into the series right up until the conclusion of the the battle of Thunderclap; that was the point the series finally started going off the rails for me and never fully recovered.

Ironically, the only part after that that I genuinely liked was the ending ending, aka the ending that's supposed to be so bad that King breaks character to tell you not to read it. If for no other reason than it gives Roland, his ka-tet, and myself hope that one day they'll all get a conclusion to the saga that isn't shit.

One of the best digs at the adaptation I've seen thus far was "The Netflix characters are like the Ember Island Players versions of the OG characters." Admittedly I only saw them in that one brief scene (stopped watching after ep.4), but that's exactly what I thought after seeing Mai and Ty Lee.

On the subject of Suki, if they were determined to mix things up and do their own take on things, they should've had the stones to go ahead and have Suki leave and join the Gaang right then and there. Would've fit right in with the new take on the character - repressed girl living dutifully in her mother's shadow gets the chance to leave and see the world and finds the courage to take it.
