pokemontrash.com went up in literal flames.

Except that anon gave their reasons for why this was their opinion and then ayrt didn't actually have counterarguments other than "I disagree" and "but why don't you wanna TALK about TLJ" after anon gave them their reasons already so I don't know what you want. It's obvious they both have their own view on this and won't agree on it. Why engage further?

And I really don't see why you, as anon, mock people for being anon. That's... pretty hypocritical.

I will watch it as well (even though I'm still very leery about the genderbending) because I do kinda like the casting and everything I've seen for it looks quite good. But I'm still very wary about it.

It's this 100%.

And then - even after he has died - Tony apparently left a very powerful (and potentially murderous) surveillance system composed of another huge batch of danegrous devices in the hands of a teenager, because basically it was needed for a Spiderman movie plot.

[(Anonymous)]

This reads as sarcastic, but I don't get why it's warranted if so.

AYRT Eh, I didn't bring up Ultron himself because that's a whole other thing, but short version for me was that I was way more bothered by Tony making the Iron Legion in the first place than by the accident that led to Ultron/the plot. The entire concept of fhe Iron Legion was so counter to his development thus far and, as you said, made Civil War and everything else going forward ridiculous. The Tony I actually liked wouldn't have done that shit, and it frustrates me.

Oooh spoken like a true shill!

I love the art you made for this secret and would love to see more secrets like this.

This - I don't talk to people about Star Wars any more because I'm expected to treat the new trilogy as an affront to the entire franchise. Like, I have Problems with it, don't get me wrong, but I'd still watch Rise of Skywalker over Attack of the Clones any day. Apparently that makes me not a real fan?

I guess I should just wait it out. I remember fans acting the exact same way about the prequels back in the day, so I can only assume this trilogy will eventually get the same treatment whenever the next one comes out to receive the fandom's hatred.

What's the novel called?

[(Anonymous)]

You mean, other than having its popular origins in a book that was co-authored by a Swiss con artist and an former editor of a Nazi newspaper?

[(Anonymous)]

Attention, silly CN webnovel title ahead: "The Husky and His White Cat Shizun" - https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-husky-and-his-white-cat-shizun/

It's much better than the title makes it sound (and has nothing to do with animals haha). In fandom, it's usually shortened to 2ha if you want to look up fanart.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, they're right. You're just an asshole.

Wes & Lilah or even Wes & Faith had far, far more interesting dynamics than Wes & Fred or Wes & Ilyria or however the hell it was spelled. Plus, forcing them together also sucked for Gunn's character and relationships too.

And I say this as someone who DEFINITELY shipped Wes & Fred at the beginning of the triangle before she first dated Gunn. A classic example of being careful what you wished for.

[(Anonymous)]

And the thing is Amy Acker was clearly a Joss fave. Yet, they still treated her character like shit, and mostly relevant only in terms of her romantic relationships. So progressive and feminist.

I get more joy from D+ than hulu or netflix combined, but I'm not going to pay 30$ for a movie I don't care about. I'm also not going to pirate a movie I don't care about. I'm probably not ever going to watch a movie I don't care about.

I hope this movie entertains your socks off and I'm sure Disney will survive.

Obviously people care. But in these days where race is brought in to everything, pointing out that gay people suffer at the hands of the law in pretty much every non-white majority country (plus Korea and Japan), is not a popular topic.

[(Anonymous)]

The obvious answer is the people who care most about Finn are the people promoting Trevaro's take.

Personally, looking back, hindsight and all, I think Finn was ruined right out of the gate. He should have been a freedom-fighter, he should have cared about saving the kidnapped children who were forced to become Troopers. He should have looked at their plans to blow up The Death Star 3.0 and been like "Um, what if we just disabled it beyond repair and didn't kill three million hostages?" and then DONE THAT and led a revolution. And then the generational conflict could have been between Finn and the Old Guard about methods and Poe would be won over slowly over three movies. And they'd still have scary and exciting space dog-fights BUT THEN they'd pick up the pilots and Finn would talk to them and win them over and send them back to the FO to spread the gospel of Fuck Fascism and JUST

What I'm saying is I don't think the sequel trilogy ever had a chance and it's kind of a shame we're fighting over whether part 2 or 3 'ruined' it when there was just nothing of substance there to ruin.

I'm not sure this is the kind you mean, but it was crazy that everything went wrong and I still have no idea how I got home.

Back in the early 2000s, I went out of state by myself for the first time, to drive about 1000 miles to meet an internet friend. So keep in mind this was before cell phones were prominent, and there was no Google Maps or on-board GPS navigation. My car didn't even have AC, and this was the middle of summer. This was also the first time I had ever driven further than an hour and a half from home on my own, and my sense of direction is so terrible that even though I've lived in the same county my whole life, I once got hopelessly lost driving home from work because an accident had closed an intersection I needed to go through. But long story short, I wanted to make this trip.

And the trip out went fine! I got slightly lost but only lost about an hour to trying to find my way back to the correct highway going the correct direction in western NY, and arrived before dark, and met my friend and we had a pretty great weekend!

Except we were staying on the beach in NJ, and I'm a ren faire nerd, I've been out all day with minimal sunscreen without a problem, so when we went out to the beach for an hour the last day before I was to go home, I didn't even think about it. Just an hour. By that night I was nauseated and shaking uncontrollably, and large portions of my body were turning red and painful to touch. By the next morning - when I was supposed to set out for home - the back of one of my hands

Re: Crazy real life stories

...Sorry about that, mouse slipped over to the post button. -_- Anyway.

The back of one of my hands was blistering, and I was supposed to drive home. I bandaged up that hand with a ton of ointment and gauze and whatnot and my friend gave me a little extra cash in case I had to stop somewhere on the way back, because at the time I was young and had no credit card, and I had lost my first job recently so while I had a checkbook, the account was pretty dry. And I set out.

Aaaand in the middle of the Appalachians, my car decided it did not like going up mountains in that heat, and kept overheating and stalling approximately once per hour. With me injured, no air conditioning... but I would pull over to one of those pull-over zones and wait until the car cooled down.

Eventually I made it to a rest stop and not knowing what else to do, called my parents on a cell phone. Of course at the time I was still about 700 miles from home, so all they could do was give me advice which wasn't terribly helpful about cooling the engine, and I sat down there and just started crying because I had never been that far from home before that weekend and of course this would happen when I was already freaked out about the drive. Fortunately a good person saw me crying there and helped me out... we looked for empty 2-liter bottles in the trash cans that I could fill with water in the restrooms and take with me in case the car overheated again. Which it did, repeatedly.

Finally I get into Ohio and the temperature is considerably less hot, thank goodness... except that's because a thunderstorm is rolling in, with such severe rain that after the sun went down (since it took me so long to get there), I couldn't see the road. So I was very grateful for my friend's extra cash, I could stop somewhere along the way and stay at a cheap motel for the night.

And the next day dawned bright and sunny but not too hot, and my blistered hand was now leaking, but I was maybe 5-6 hours from home now. I could do this!

And when I stopped to buy gas in Indiana at a truck stop, the car wouldn't start again. No response from the ignition.

So I was wandering around between the trucks trying to find someone who would give me a jump, because the truck stop wanted me to pay them $30 to use their portable unit, and I'd just spent my last $20 buying the gas. Finally found a guy and he came over to my car to have a look first to make sure a jump was what I needed... and the car just randomly started again.

I did not stop again for the rest of the drive home. I didn't dare tempt something ELSE to go wrong. The rest of the day after I did get home was spent in a dissociative haze wandering around my house and wondering if I was really there, and how I actually managed to get there.
