2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences
Top Gun replied to NewBluntsworth's topic in Current Events
I try to mentally reconcile Trump's unwavering base as the product of generations of inbreeding, and that's only partially tongue-in-cheek. Because while it may not be true biologically, it sure as fuck is intellectually. It's a fundamental inability to look beyond your own failures, to recognize what led yourself and your community to this point and what can get you out of it. No, it's far easier to hang on every word of a drooling idiot who promises the world but doesn't give a flying fuck about you. I have exactly zero sympathy for that level of willful ignorance. Let them rot. -
Honestly I thought that was a really solid last episode. They finally let things breathe a bit and moved at a reasonable pace. The visuals weren't quite up to episode 1, but they looked pretty good overall. Putting the production issues aside, if they either had twice as much runtime or didn't try to cram in what I'd assume was every single bit of the original manga, I think it would have been much better off. Still managed to freak me the fuck out on numerous occasions, so overall it was a good time.

Well that was...certainly a finale. Out of all the shows I've watched, this was surely one of them.

I'd assume they're rerunning Blue Exorcist there with the expectation they'll air some of the new seasons next year. Unexpected pick-ups, but I've heard good stuff about Mashle.

The only time I used a drop box was in 2020. Every time since I've just stuck it in the mailbox. Gets there in a couple of days. -

...where are you finding that list of "animation directors"? It doesn't even make sense, there are several company names on there. -

Hey they...kind of explained something? -

I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent person. I've watched plenty of good mindfuck shows and had a blast trying to piece together what's going on and what will happen next. But it's hard to think of another series I've seen that's as perpexingly, willfully incoherent as this one. I said it elsewhere here, but on a moment-to-moment basis I've often found it impossible to figure out how each scene connects with each other. Which version of Rick is that? Are we in an alternate universe? A flashback? A flash-forward? Is this just going on in that VR helmet Morty was wearing? When was his waifu an alien, and when did she look human? Who knows! I keep thinking at some point that it'll try to tie some of this disparate nonsense together, and a couple of episodes ago it almost seemed like it was trying to, but nope it went straight back to the plot puree again. I figured going in that I'd be at a bit of a disadvantage due to never having watched the original series before, but not only does it seem like it's relying on some super-deep cuts from that (which is an odd choice if you're trying to chase a new audience), but that even if you are super-familiar with the original it still makes no sense. So...who is this for exactly? -

I'll admit I didn't recognize the name, but he had some really influential roles.

If a streaming service shuts down, and no one knew it existed in the first place, does it make a sound? -
Looks like Iran is doing its thing.

The dub is scheduled to air on Thursdays at 12:30, I guess following in Rick and Morty's footsteps. -

That was TITS. Absolutely incredible. Everything I hoped it would be. I was sitting there jaw agape for half of it and kept yelling out "oh what the fuck." If they needed all of those delays to produce something that looked that fantastic, then it was worth every minute. Can't wait for the rest. -
