@stephenchip@JohnEDeaton1 Want John Deaton pro crypto before airing and after his run? Are you doing us to believe he was paid for before ever running?
@llenSmith@FastbreakHoops5 They all carried a franchise at some point. Kyrie started alone in Cleveland. Wade was carrying Miami before shaq. Ai carried Philly his entire career with them
๐ท White supremacists are lying (because that's what they HAVE to do) about the child Shiloh Hendrix attacked wearing an "ankle monitor."
The child she attacked has severe autism and needs the monitor because they were prone to wandering off.
Why aren't they saying that part?

It's cheeks for one player to make more finals than 27 franchises in the NBA is wild take.
That's 27 teams with 1,452 combined years in the league but they couldn't match one man's 23 years? Smh it's only cuz of his longevity right lmao

Saw this today.
Absolute facts on consent.
But if we hit that exact scenario, I am retiring from the field and locking the door. Respect the "no," but Iโm definitely not signing up for Round 2 of that psychological thriller.
This reminds of how many bodies is too many? I don't know about hard number but I definetly know it when I hear it.

Remembering Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers, on his birthday today.
In 1963, he was assassinated in the driveway outside of his home in Jackson, Mississippi, by avowed white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith who was convicted 30 years later.
White Family Mistaken for Black in 1955 Florida.
In the spring of 1955, Ebony magazine featured the Platt family, orange pickers from Lake County, Florida. Although the family identified as white, local officials claimed that six of their seven children had darker complexions and facial features they associated with Black people.
Because of that judgment, the children were removed from white schools. The family was also pressured to leave their white neighborhood and relocate to housing with far fewer basic amenities.
Their story showed just how arbitrary racial classifications could be under Jim Crow. A person's education, where they lived, and the opportunities available to them could depend less on documented ancestry than on how teachers, neighbors, or local officials perceived them.
The article also highlighted a reality that affected many Americans. Some families fought to avoid being classified as Black because segregation carried serious legal and economic consequences. At the same time, some light-skinned Black Americans passed as white to escape discrimination and gain opportunities they would otherwise have been denied.
An interesting detail is that the same issue of Ebony placed the Platt family's story beside an advertisement for Palmer's Skin Success, a product promoted for creating a more even complexion. Whether intentional or not, the contrast reflected the complicated relationship between race, skin color, identity, and opportunity in mid-century America.
โ๏ธ Feat only bias is dumb af
A lot of people ignore narrative context in scaling.
Just because a good character chooses NOT to destroy the universe doesn't mean they lack the power to do it. Goku's clumsy, first-time SSG clashing punches literally risked cracking reality, and he has grown thousands of times stronger since.
Restraint โ lack of feats! ๐๐ฅ

TL;DR: An ambitious epic that only hits 50% of its goals is fundamentally out-written by a simple story that achieves 100%. Solo Leveling nails its internal logic and active hero progression. James Gunnโs Superman stumbles into passive protagonist tropes and massive plot conveniences. Execution matters more than ambition.
โ๏ธWhy "Simple and Perfect" Beats "Ambitious and Messy" Every Single Time in Screenwriting.
People love to bash Solo Leveling for lacking deep character development while praising grand epics like Superman (2025). But if you strip away the biases and evaluate them purely on basic writing mechanics, Solo Leveling is actually the better-written story.
Here is why matching your execution to your narrative ambition matters most. Note: None of these make a story good or bad on their own ๐
๐ฏ 1. Narrative Intent vs. Execution
A functional writing framework dictates that a text is "good" if it perfectly fulfills its intended function.
Solo Leveling sets a clear, honest goal: it is an underdog power fantasy. It asks a simple question "Can he get strong enough?" and answers it flawlessly with airtight pacing and high stakes.
Superman tries to tackle massive, multi-layered thematic questions about global politics, interventionism, and alien identity, only to completely abandon them for a punch-heavy, action-focused finale.
โ๏ธ 2. Active Protagonists vs. Passive Protagonists
A story's quality relies heavily on character agency. Who is actually driving the plot?
Sung Jin-Woo (Active Hero): He has total narrative agency. He makes brutal, strategic choices and pushes through deadly trials to earn every single power upgrade. His actions directly move the story forward.
Clark Kent (Passive Hero): He frequently spends large chunks of the narrative reacting to outside forces or getting physically overwhelmed, relying entirely on side characters like Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, or Lois Lane to solve his problems and bail him out.
๐งฉ 3. Strict Internal Logic vs. Plot Armor
Solo Leveling operates on highly defined, rigid world-building rules. The ranking systems, dungeon keys, and level-up mechanics are strictly followed, so the audience always knows the boundaries.
Superman stumbles over massive narrative conveniences and logic leaps, like villains successfully hacking the Fortress of Solitude's deepest alien databases, yet somehow entirely missing basic, unencrypted childhood files that would instantly expose Clark's secret identity.
โ๏ธ The Bottom Line
You can only make so many concessions for a "complex" story before it just becomes bad writing.
An ambitious epic that only achieves 50% of its narrative goals is fundamentally out-written by a simple story that achieves 100% of its goals. Solo Leveling knows exactly what it wants to be and executes it perfectly. Superman aims for the stars but trips over its own script.
How many plot holes and dropped themes are you willing to forgive just because a story has "high ambitions"? Let's discuss. ๐

Saw this and chose MHA and SAO.
Many are using these 4 areas wrong. Like to complain about a lack of character development when the storyโs structure actively requires it, is a valid criticism.
If a story asks a complex question but gives a shallow, punch-heavy answer, the writing is flawed aka Superman 2025.
If a story asks a simple question ("Can he get strong enough to beat this monster?"), a simple, high-octane answer works perfectly aka Solo Leveling
