| Zeus 09/13/17 3:23:55 PM #7 | While I'm not sure if you're trolling --- because you troll non-fucking-stop --- I've been burned out on them for a few years now, mostly because of the overall direction and writing. Joss Whedon's Avengers was the final straw which killed my interest for a while. Oh, plus all the fucking reboots. Granted, I did wind up watching two of the more recent X-Men movies -- DoFP and Apoc -- which were surprisingly good. After the first three films and seeing the terrible trailers for the quasi-reboot, I had kinda written off the franchise. Doctor Foxx posted... I feel weird saying that because my teen self could not have enough of them and the quality now is much higher. Which is the difference between starving and being stuffed, tbh. We've gone from a scarcity environment with maybe a film a year to a mega-surplus one where it seems like 5 or 6 come out some years. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

| Zeus 09/13/17 3:18:02 PM #64 | The Wave Master posted... Vince McMahon is 72 years old. 72. He isn't 50 or even sixty. And by God can this man take a bump! Not only that, but he's better on the Mic and cutting a promo than 3/4 of the wrestling talent he has on his roster. He's also hit the gym every day for several hours for the past 40-50 years. If you maintain conditioning, you can maintain your body. As for his ability to take bumps, remember that he once blew out both of his quads getting into the ring =p (Wasn't watching wrestling when it happened but happened to catch that Royal Rumble and was confused about him sitting down when cutting a promo on how to decide the winner.) (Also, that was a pretty spectacular year in wrestling given that two of the standard-bearers were built at the same time... although they backed the wrong guy when they had Batista go over Cena. Oh well, still it's always nice to see people go over Cena.) Should also mention that I listened to a 30-35 minute Dave Meltzer (with Bryan Alvarez?) clip from a podcast discussing the last (or next to last) Raw despite having not watched a Raw in ages. Granted, the fact that they're building up Braun really makes me want to get back into watching Raw... but it's fucking 3 hours long and Hulu has too many commercials. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

Dealing with iTunes is simply not worth the hassle. I don't even give a shit about the lack of convenient features like an SD card slot, removable battery, 3.5mm port, micro-usb charging port, etc. ITunes itself is such a bloated piece of shit that I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I just use the iPhone I got for free as a MP3 player. I don't particularly like iTunes that much, but I've redeemed digital copies of films through the service and I've uploaded CDs I've bought into it. It's not a great system, but it's somewhat serviceable... only issue is I can't figure out how to clear out my old iPod shuffle and mass-delete songs from the iPhone.

Side note: I actually saw an NES Classic out in the wild last year. It was at a Macy's. I didn't buy it because I don't care for NES games, and I didn't flip it because I'm not an asshole.

| Zeus 09/12/17 5:01:37 PM #7 | Dreaming_King posted... Why would I respect someone just for having been sucking in air longer than I have? Because they've been accumulating knowledge longer than you have. Dreaming_King posted... There are people half my age who know more than I do in certain subjects, I half expect most people half your age know more than you do when it comes to a good number of subjects =p Otherwise, that's specific knowledge vs overall knowledge. The longer somebody has been alive, generally the greater their overall knowledge is because they've seen far more. As such, a person knows more at 60 than they knew at 50 than they knew at 40 than they knew at 30 than they knew at 20 than they knew at 10. That doesn't mean that they're an expert on every subject, but their overall understanding has generally improved with age and therefore a person of equal circumstance will have a greater overall knowledge at later ages. MICHALECOLE posted... Think about how much smarter and more experienced you are than you were at this time last year This, plus it's also a matter of paying it forward.

Who would they bring in to replace him? DC hasn't managed to build up even ONE good Batman villain since... maybe 1993 when they introduced Bane (and the year before that, the cartoon stumbled on the idea of Harley Quinn almost by accident). There are a lot of junk villains that they've tried to establish as new major Batman rogues but none of them are great -- Hush, Professor Pyg, Great White Shark, Talon, etc -- so it'd be a straight up loss, ESPECIALLY because they'd try to replace the Joker with a similar rogue where most of the time we'd just be comparing him to the Joker. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

I find casual racism a stronger indicator than somebody going for the strongest thing they can think of in the heat of the moment or joking about it precisely because it is so controversial. Granted, I'm not sure that I've ever used the word at all, even when telling a joke and certainly not when in an argument but I don't really consider myself typical of the general population.

| Topic | Plot Armor through popularity vs giving a popular character a meaningful death? |
| Zeus 09/12/17 1:41:33 PM #6 | tbh, most character deaths are going to be meaningless since there's little to no point in just killing characters off, except maybe when covering both sides of a war. And the fact that characters generally don't die doesn't make what they do less meaningful nor does having characters die really heighten the suspense since at least *some* characters need to stay alive and readers/viewers can usually figure out which ones they are. And even most "meaningful deaths" are generally rendered meaningless by the writing afterward. Case-in-point is ALWAYS comics. Ultimate Spidey died solely so he could be replaced by a minority character, thus undoing any impact of his death because the brand continues under a new character. When a team characters dies, they're quickly replaced and soon forgotten. Nor does it benefit either the company or fans to kill off truly headline characters because both groups want to see the franchise continued. InfestedAdam posted... Granted I'd admit surviving a barrage of arrows in an open field without some sort of shield where anyone can get hit is one I find a bit questionable. If they're wearing full-plate, they wouldn't need a shield. That'd more be an issue if they were wearing mail or the hilariously historically inaccurate leather armor everybody seems to favor in fiction nowadays whereas, in terms of actual defense, leather was most often just used for cosmetic value over some other form of armor like a gambeson. Of course, the really annoying thing is the near-absence of helmets in historical fiction & fantasy, although there's a practical reason outside of the universe itself since it allows viewers to see the actor's face. The lack of shields where clearly one is needed -- which annoyed me when I caught some clips from Vikings -- is certainly another nuisance. Characters in mail, gambesons, leather, etc, shouldn't be going into battle without a shield (well, melee anyway). --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |
