    News and Politics 2017 (General Political Discussion thread)

    I can't believe the incredible gift that Hillary is giving the country on her let's-rehash-the-election-again book tour! So many conceited and delusional interviews from her, desperately looking for a scapegoat for her own mistakes. You didn't see this from previous candidates who quietly went...

    News and Politics 2017 (General Political Discussion thread)

    Putting everyone you don't like in one neat little basket of deplorables I see. No, Obama just low key implied that the dead cops in Dallas were part of the racism problem as he lectured about justifiable anger at their ******* memorial service. That the police and the protesters from the...

    "Star Trek: Discovery" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    You know that does sound useful for a First Officer...on a show where they explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations. But it looks like we are getting a season of Klingons and exploiting our alien expert's negative experiences with them in her childhood for drama.

    News and Politics 2017 (General Political Discussion thread)

    While I think you go too far here, people have the right to demonstrate about whatever they want with the proper permits, it needs to be recognized that for the last year police have been refusing to do their jobs and keep the peace at nation-wide protests. They instead stand back and let the...

    "Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming" News & Discussion Thread Part 2 (Spoilers)

    Am I the only one who actually likes credits, not just because I expect a stinger but for the sake of the credits themselves? It is a few minutes that I can listen to music, relax and decompress after the movie is over before going into the bright lights of the world again. If it didn't upset...

    "Marvel Cinematic Universe" News & Discussion, Part 3 (Spoilers)

    I really don't see Spider-Man movie rights being worth Star Wars billions at this time, especially considering what has happened the last half a decade. I would say that Sony has damaged their version of the franchise enough in e-mail scandal and lack of vision that Marvel's current work in...

    Spider-Man 3: The Editor's Cut - Discussion

    He is talking about a fan edit. 1. Almost all of the deleted scenes that you could reconstruct a better movie out of are still MIA. So we don't have as much to work with as you would think. I would like to see a cut of 3.1 that restores the Aunt May scene that is missing from this version for...

    Samurai Jack: Father/Daughter Relationship vs Jashi

    Migration patterns for a large chunk of human history would be completely changed by Aku not ruling the world. That means different people end up together and therefore zero guarantee that the same, unbroken generational lines would exist that led to the people Jack knew still existing. They...

    C&C - Samurai Jack - "CI" [5/20] (SERIES FINALE)

    Felt like a two parter they had to condense into one episode, so the logic of how the armies get there goes out the window. With more time the explanation would probably be: Scotsman learns Jack has been captured and assembles all of Jack's allies together for one final battle. He did want to...

    C&C - Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 - "Laplace's Box" [5/20]

    I don't really buy this line of argument that people make about this show. It feels like excuse-making for its quality, or lack thereof. You can jump in the middle of all kinds of slow burn dramas and be completely entertained by them even after missing the first few seasons. You don't even...

    C&C - Samurai Jack - "CI" [5/20] (SERIES FINALE)

    The bittersweetness felt like a cop out to me honestly. Like the show wanted to have its cake and eat it too at the end. If they wanted to show that defeating Aku had terrible consequences, that everything Jack did and many people he met might never exist now, then end the show on Jack going...

    Samurai Jack Season 5 (Censored Version)

    I actually am wondering can you show people getting stabbed if you remove the blood or would CN have to creatively edit around showing it. Like in shadow or we see a face close up reaction. Adventure Time has monsters getting cut up and occasionally candy people which is a step up from Y-7...

    C&C - Samurai Jack - "XCVII" [4/22]

    The way I view the ghostly samurai apparition was that Jack unknowingly summoned him because of how tortured he is about failing in his mission for half a century. The apparition calls forth any such warrior living in shame to follow him and end their life. They linger on as shadows in this...

    "Meme humor" in animation

    I would argue that meme humor is a subcategory of reference humor, which Family Guy is of course infamous for overdoing without any wit or funny punchlines. So the key lesson there is all things in moderation, and that even if you are making a reference to something you should still be clever...

    C&C - Samurai Jack - "XCVII" [4/22]

    Sounds like something Sammy Davis Bot Jr. might say to me. I don't view the "language" as pointless at all (tasteless is very subjective). Here we have a talking robot head judging someone else as being a freak after getting their help, and establishing that he is quick to mouth off with...
