Remember when Hollywood understood that audiences liked leaving the theater in a good mood?

@WoodlawnMichael @PincherMartin8 This wasnt a case of he decided to not kill the first girl. He didn't "just rape" her.

He tried to kill her in one of the worst horror-movie-made-real ways possible even without the "perverse incentive". She just managed to luck and skill her way into surviving.

Everytime I hear of this show it's something stupider than the last time.
Just have Sauron kiss Elrond in front of Goku killing the ghost of Ancalagalon or whatever

I'm pretty sure the act of driving a car into a crowd of people is already a sign that your society is divided.

The attack itself was already political, and "Do not politicize this" is also an explicitly political command.

Watching supposedly "center-right" politicians similtaneously brush off an Islamic terrorist attack as "not political" and then declare that the real "political" thing is when people call a spade a spade goes to show us who these people truly regard as friend and foe.

Conservatives are not going to save Europe. They are co-authors of its ongoing suicide.

20 years ago, who'd have thought the console wars would end in the defeat of console owners?

"I'm going to make up arbitrary requirements so i can claim she's right on a point she never made"

The best part is that she claims "only 5 are popular" when the list has some of the most well know anime out there, so she's unconsciously revealing "popular" for her is the very limited list of battle shonens that tourists know lmao

Half of anime is composed of shojo and josei which almost always have female protagonist (something they never complain about) but somehow if the most popular battle shonen ever created doesn't have a female lead with 7 other requirements then it means there's no female characters in anime

A hairdresser with zero archaeological completely changed our understanding of Roman hairstyling tools because she tried reproducing hairstyles on Roman statues.

She couldn’t replicate the styles so she started going through Roman manuscripts using Google Translate to find references to tools. She discovered that Roman’s used bone needles to weave hairstyles like fabric…. Something Latin scholars with zero knowledge of hair styling missed

@pikagiu_ @Deshpacito661 Probably more relevant: Last year a chairmaker figured out what the hashmarks next to animals in most of the ancient cavepaintings in Europe mean. The archaeologists have been trying to figure it out for over a hundred years

It's the animal's gestational period measured in weeks

Blockbuster was famous for driving independent video stores out of business.

What we really miss is a time when movies were owned instead of perpetually rented.

@CCoderDyne @cirsova That's because the original fascists were socialists disaffected by Marxist communism, and fascism was their attempt to fix the giant structural flaw of The International. The Nazis werent lying when they called themselves National Socialists.

@CrashmanTheKook @CCoderDyne @cirsova /3 Evangelion and Gundam X also got axed mid production.They all had odd last act narratives/rushed ends.

People saying it happened to Escaflowne too is entirely in tune with anime production back then. It might not have, but it's not just a strong possibility.

[Ranba_Ral @Ranba_Ral]

@CrashmanTheKook @CCoderDyne @cirsova /2 In Macross's case, they cut the episodes from like 42 to 26, they finegled 27 for the big final battle and a functional narrative end. Then after they completed making that, got extended, so they did the postwar story & basically rehashed the character development of the leads

[Flytrus @Flytrus]

Crusher Joe.... an amazing movie. I would say probably some of the best 80s animation there is.. Yas's work as director is so good.

[Redacted @theKageRyu]

@HMBohemond More to the point, inferring Battletech was "plausible" and anime isn't when without Anime there never would have been Battletech is hilarious. Then again, new Battletech fans refuse to learn the history of the game. (not the in-game history).

[The🌙Magician @ArmoredNorman]

The story of Char Aznable is compelling because he is a sane and rational man pursuing a cold vengeance against the Zabi family and following the career path that gives him the most likely options and opportunity to effectively achieve that goal, however...

Star Trek's critics are right: The Federation is hypocritical.

It preaches peace while maintaining a military

champions self-determination while quashing dissent

celebrates diversity while enforcing conformity.

Where critics go wrong is interpreting what that hypocrisy means.
