Important questions.
- Comment on I may be the opposite of most otakus, but screw it 1 day ago:
I love to hate on SAO
But that’s true of nearly all anime’s. They’re filled with plot holes, shitty power scaling, and nonsensical magic/science lore.
Turns out, having a culture of single authors writing weekly released manga and then rapidly turning them into anime to ride hype trains leads to some honestly terrible stories.
But its fun! We know they’re stories being told by really small teams if a team at all and they’re trying their best to entertain us.
Also, it’s a good way to see what you do and don’t like in any story. I’ve found hating on anime’s has taught me what I appreciate it something and then I stick to stories that do that well.
SAO taught me I love fantasy aesthetic anime’s but also that lone wolf angst gets old to me.
- Comment on Star Trek Movie Rereleases Beaming Into Theaters – With Souvenir Popcorn Bucket 2 weeks ago:
If the movie isn’t popping off, the bucket can become a meme.
I think we could bully Sony into rereleasing Morbius a third time if they made a sexy bucket

I didn’t realize the video was so short so he may not cover anything more in depth than the Wikipedia did, but he has pictures

This feels like a bit

It begs the serious question,
“Would Nolan’s film actually been better if they looked like this?”
I just saw the movie and I think they made a pretty good costume design choice.
You should be more mad about the offensive use of sub bass in theaters.

Pyrrhus was killed by Zopyrus and his mom
Idk, sounds fake. I need a Greek nerd to tell me the “zopyrus” is like “Better Pyyrhus/” or something

- Comment on No longer the richest person in history, but forever in our hearts 2 months ago:
I will never forget walking through the portrait gallery at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and how absolutely disgusted I felt at every single person depicted.
If it wasn’t a biblical picture it was some sycophantic ruler surrounded in relative excess. A class of people as old as time and just as deserving of their status now as they’ve always been.
Diogenes was right and I won’t act like any wealth hoarder no matter the time period is deserving of admiration.
I know its a meme, but man I loathe the wealthy.

According to Plato we can just keep making them up. So I’m down!
My addition is Uupta goddess of warm fires and comforting foods. Put her wherever but I feel she’s close to the sun somehow.

- Comment on Yeah, turns out a lot of people belived that slavery was bad 500 years ago too 2 months ago:
Columbus was a weird Christian. I don’t know what he identified as specifically, but he was part of a large group of wealthy folks who thought the world would end soon and that would entail another, final, crusade to retake the holy land. And that’s what this exposition was! It was Columbus trying to find a profitable trade route to India so he could raise money to Crusade Palestine again!
Even worse, he was anti-science. By 1492 it was pretty uncontroversial amongst educated and ruling people that the earth was round, but Chris thought “Big Math” was LYING TO US ABOUT THE SIZE. And as far as I can remember, his source is he made it the fuck up.
So in short, Columbus was a 1492 equivalent of an Evangelical Zionist. Incredibly devout christian. So it would be so fucking funny if he went to hell.
Columbus being eternally tortured “WHY GOD!? I DID IT ALL FOR YOU!!!”
God “Yeah dude, did you miss the whole Jesus guy? He kinda ended the need for blood sacrifices. Why would I want war in my name?”
- Comment on Those Sumerians sure had some knee slappers 2 months ago:
Its funny to me when a joke is literally translated so we miss the pun.
And when the pun is explained and then the joke is retold in the native language, I often still don’t thinknits funny.
Terrible that comedy is often hard to translate.
