My gut tells me one of the dudes next to her was General Wade Eiling. But that might just be my JLU bias..

Why does young-Clark wear glasses before even discovering he has powers? Why does he wear glasses at all prior to being resigned to having an alter identity? My Krypton knowledge might be pretty sparse, but, kinda thought they were largely "normal" (mostly due to having red sun), yet Jor-El is depicted as a flying older Superman? I'll let the high tech spaceship thing slide, at least. It's a stretch, but.. doesn't completely ruin anything yet. If you're going to throw in an anime costume transformation scene, you really gotta crank up the gratuitous fanservice, c'mon. Anyway. It's an origin story, which I'm never stoked on. But, I did catch in the credits, kinda nice to see Chris Parnell getting a role that isn't a total sad sack. Evidently, Mr. Black Ops was Slade. Ok, we can roll with that. And the cameo of Waller at the end, I can get down with. Ultimately, not knowing the Super-history super well, kinda wondering/hoping this is at least pulling from.. some actual source material? And not going crazy overboard with retcons. Otherwise, you kinda start alienating some of the comic book audience you're trying to target by deviating from established lore. Does sorta need to tone down the moe moe flirty omg they're totally crushing each other stuff, tho. Cute stuff is cute.. sure fine, sprinkle it in here and there for whatever. But, again, feels like a disservice to the core Superman audience you're trying to catch?

This is the geopolitical equivalent of "What was she wearing?" Really? Your answer to "Why did Russia initiate an attack?" is the tired old excuse of "they made me do it?" We've all been on these boards long enough to know the response to that is "No, you're the one responsible for your own actions."

How is your stance both this: And this: Kinda makes it seem like you're the one dodging discussion.

What the FF7 Remake should've been. I'll take an entire new game in Neo-Midgar any day over what we got...

"Refusing to pay" is the nice way of saying "we're broke."

For the record, they've also made it so you can't even view the site without having an account. Bastion of free speech and self-proclaimed town square indeed. Also, what's with all the "we" shit from Musk? Didn't he already pass it on to another CEO?

Finally noticed Hulu has the dub up. Time to give it a go. Animation certainly.. takes some getting used to. Not bad.. but certainly a big departure from the original. Music seems like the bigger miss, tho. Show has a whole different vibe without that steel guitar. Guess they wanted a departure from space western.... Likewise maybe dropped the ball on just dumping so much exposition in episode 1. So much info that worked so much better as a slow reveal.. similarly not keen on letting Vash show off his shooting (even if it is just one bullet) in the first episode. It spoke so much about his character in the original that he didn't fire a single bullet until episode 5. I guess, exposition-wise, it at least does sorta help set up important elements like the Plants, and the planet's predicament, even if the Knives reveal was maybe far too early.. And, maybe just me, or maybe just the passage of time, but it did take a minute to really start to hear that old Vash. Maybe the character's just got a different tone from the original even. Idk.. Just sorta lacking that subtle sense of Vash being/acting like an absolute lunatic goofball.. maybe for the best as episodes go on, will see. Maybe too I just need to take this more in a FMA:Brotherhood-type approach, where they know the original already set the stage, and this is just diving straight into the meat of it.

You, uhh.... already spilled the beans a while ago....

Haahh. A blink-and-you-miss-it, they left in some of the frame/animation info or something during the transition after the power up, before "We've broken inside." "Property of Cartoon Network Studios" is almost cut off at the bottom. Whatever it's from is listed as 11070 10_354.mov

Music is giving some Infinity Train vibes.

Ok, but here's my eternal question: Do werewolves grow extra nipples when they transform? Or do they just always have extra nipples even when they're human?

So, if I'm seeing right, fully half the block starting this week is dedicated to reruns? Eesh. I'm probably incredibly biased, cuz I've fully tuned it out and can't actually speak for the quality.. but I wouldn't be shocked if Naruto is also in some ways at the root of this, being in one last burst of filler hell. Looks like thankfully that will be coming to an end in a couple months or so at least; maybe getting back to canon can bring back some energy.. In general tho, as nice as it's been to have some big names on the block, maybe it'd be worth looking to cultivate more of a "cult classic" feel. Clearly they're not able to pick up new stuff very well or very often. So why not look back to find some sleeper hits. Sure that runs the risk of hitting a "that's old, people have already seen it" etc. But, idk. They could maybe pull off finding a few things that have those dedicated audiences, things that didn't catch the right attention and maybe just need a wider reach to catch on. Orrr, they're old and the reason they're not popular is because they're just not very good..

I mostly use dating apps as people watching. No real desire to socialize, and I'm finding I prefer my own isolation and solitude over wrecking my routines to include someone else..

Aw, dang. I meant to share earlier, but looks like they've been purged, there were some choice Amazon reviews for a short while as well.

The good news is, knowing taxpayers will have funded these "rescue" efforts, we can safely say we've financed this entire expedition start to finish.

Y'know what would be a great movie to watch this weekend?

Mobile? I've maybe only used it once or twice. On Roku stick tho, occasionally. All the shows (but not necessarily all the episodes). Is handy to put on the simulcast if I can't be out on my main tv.

Nobody becomes a billionaire without some level of exploitation. Their deaths are a net gain for the planet.

My money's on, best case scenario, the "banging" is just the motors still running and bouncing the crumpled can along the bottom. Assuming it's related at all.

Bends could happen, yes. Kinda also not fully paying attention. If it is an issue, they can always throw them into a decompression chamber for a few days or weeks. All things considered, wouldn't expect it to be an issue. Chances seem slim that thing stayed intact.

Nah nah nah. More creative. Hope they find the sub, they can hear someone's still alive in there. Pull it up and start opening and then Surprise, mothafuckas

Sometimes I find it mildly bothersome how you post snipped screenshots instead of actual links. https://xkcd.com/1040/

Counterpoint: Wireless controls means one less point of entry/failure by not needing to wire from controls to motors. Probably saved a few bucks by not having to figure out how to wire it up correctly. Saving money is clearly more important than safety measures..
