Smoker feels like something that's clutter 350 days of the year.
And if it's not, you become one of those people.

Somebody who loves the delicious, delicious taste of smoked meats and that pleasant aroma around their home?

Granted, I imagine it gets super-unhealthy super-fast.

Don't hit women. I shouldn't even have to say that to anyone, ever, but people need to be told the obvious from time to time.

Shit casting, shit person. And, honestly, the MCU's plans in general were complete shit. Between re-rolling the Avengers, building the next arc around a villain whose variants are encountered (AND DEFEATED!) across movies/shows prior to the big arc movies, a terrible casting choice for said villain that failed spectacularly, etc, it's amazing how Disney/Marvel managed to completely fuck everything up in amazingly short order.

That said, GotG3 might've been shit, but Warlock was fun and the cartoonishly evil take on the High Evolutionary made me giggle.

I admit that I'm an old man, but I do not care for SpongeBob Square Pants.

I do not care for his antics.

Who else is brave enough to admit this truth?

The show came out at the wrong time in my life. It actually looks funny, but -- like a lot of recent stuff -- I've been checked out of western animation aimed at younger audiences. Granted, entertainment in general hasn't been doing it for me in recent years.

Again, a lot of the clips I've been shown for it and several others shows seem like something I'd enjoy. Despite that, my interest level is pretty low. But a lot of that is the result of entertainment overload years ago where I just burned out on everything and it just takes a ton of effort to want to watch anything.

I did, however, finally watch Moon Knight recently. It was... like four or five hours. >_>

But yeah, my enjoyment varied where the first episode mostly sucked, then for a lot of the rest I was like "this is pretty good," but the next day I was like, "Was it, really?"

To compare Moon Knight to the NF Marvel shows, it was pretty Iron Fist but not as fun. The show seemed to hit many of the same story beats, etc. And then the resolution for the final fight was deeply unsatisfying since it more or less existed to set up a continuation. Oh, not to mention the MASSIVE plot hole where the third personality is clearly working for Khonshu, yet it killed the people who were going to tell where Ammit might've been located

Even at the time I found Ren & Stimpy to be mostly shit.

I'm not sure it was ever not shit. The show was mostly poorly-done toilet humor. Plus, didn't the creator groom a thirteen year-old girl or other absurdly young minor?

It's sort of like The Simpsons in that respect. Almost everything I remember enjoying from the Simpsons comes from episodes from the first 8 seasons or so. And even at the time I started feeling like the show was getting worse somewhere in the 7th season (and looking back with hindsight, I'd say the slow rot kind of started even earlier). Who Shot Mr. Burns? might actually have been the shark-jumping moment, though there were still good episodes after that (even if they started to become more and more rare).

I think season 11 was the last good season, until maybe season 25? idk, the Simpsons dips and then it recovers. However, the dips weren't as bad in the past. At this point, I'm maybe a year or two behind.

iirc, I *thought* the last time I did an episode list, seasons 7-9 were the best. Season 1 was pretty terrible, and I think season 2 was before it was consistently good.
