    The Big Picture: Plothole Surfers

    I also like Cinema Wins (fell out of love hard with cinema sins though), but disagree with your wording a bit. I like it not because it shows how a movie is good, but instead how someone could end up liking the movie. Cinema wins covers a lot of poorly received films. There are several movies I...

    Poll: DC Comics In The 90s: Actually More Optimistic Than The 2000s And 2010s?

    I voted no, mainly because nearly everything since Rebirth that I've read has been legitimately great and not-at-all grimdark. The examples you listed, TC, were mostly in the 2000's and the setting that Flashpoint started has been largely undone/patched up. I hated the new 52, but Rebirth has...

    So cartoon network schedule this week: The Holy Shit sequel

    Eh. I mean I agree that Teen Titans Go is a pretty garbage show, but I only hated it when it replaced Young Justice, an actually awesome show. Now that Young Justice is coming back, I don't really care what cartoon network does. I don't even have cable anymore.

    A new Star Wars happened, and opinions are released upon us like nibbling hounds demanding biscuits

    IIRC Han says of the shield that it blocks anything slower than light speed, so FTL would bypass it, physical or not. And yeah, this movie was fantastic. Not perfect, but it's probably my new favorite Star Wars movie. Seeing people say it's "bad writing" feels like they're trying to cover...

    Thoughts on Camp Camp

    It's hit or miss for me. I think it's gotten better over time, but so far only one episode REALLY made me laugh out loud uncontrollably (the super fucked-up Quartermaster's sister episode). Catchy theme song, though.

    Does anyone else not have any friends IRL?

    I don't have a lot of friends, but I've made some pretty strong friendships over the course of my life. Well, strong for me. I don't talk to them every day, and some of them I sometimes go months at a time without talking to, but I consider them pretty close friends that I can talk to about...

    Every long-running anime should do a DBZ: Kai

    Man, I grew up on old school Toonami DBZ, and Kai is just an improvement overall. The voice actors have honed their craft, the new ones are mostly an improvement over the previous ones, the music is more varied and energetic than -most- Falconer tracks, and the pacing is just SOOOOO much better...

    Every long-running anime should do a DBZ: Kai

    ... you know they edited the episodes they showed on Nicktoons, right? Try the DVDs.

    Every long-running anime should do a DBZ: Kai

    You either haven't watched Kai, haven't watched the original DBZ in a loooooooong time, or you have a seriously awful case of nostalgia blindness. Kai wasn't meant to add anything, only remove bullshit, which it removed about 90 episodes of (up to the Cell Saga). 90 EPISODES worth of footage...

    Something I've wondered about Dragon Ball

    One nice thing about Dragonball Super is that it has clarified or expanded on a lot of the stuff that was murky before. The gods have a very definitive hierarchy now and explicitly posses their own kind of ki which is almost impossible to sense as a mortal unless you obtain god ki of your own...

    Batman and Harley Quinn

    Why do people think the Joker is an interesting villain when for the last oh, 10-15 years or so he's been little more than a laughing serial killer (or some impossibly forward thinking clown god of bullshit)? People are a lot more shallow than they like to believe. They might point to some...

    What kind of insects and animals do you deal with where you live?

    Got some generic brown bugs in my apartment. Pretty small and easy to handle. I've only seen a few actual cockroaches, but they were quite large. Especially the one that was inside my shower, when I was taking a shower (unaware, at first). I almost jumped out of my fucking skin. One thing I...

    I'm utterly sick of Game of Thrones

    I mean, the show totally went to shit around season 2! I mean 3! No, 4! 5?

    I'm utterly sick of Game of Thrones

    Oh no, somebody hates something popular, and here in the Escapist forums of all places. God forbid.

    Game of Thrones Season 7 discussion thread. (SPOILERS ABOUND)

    Arya and Brienne aren't exactly friends. Last time they met, Arya just ran away from Brienne. I don't know if Arya even has friends at this point.
