That's a shame. I will admit that I got some laughs out of that kind of humor at one point as well. The original Scary Movie comes to mind. That movie was hilarious when I was 14. I'm not sure if it would hold up on a rewatch.

Yeah even I cringe a little when there's lazy humor like that. If it's any consolation for NATM, I usually laugh at stuff like this scene:

Eh, he's just using his normal voice. It really should be deeper, but I recognize that's probably just me being bias from his old dub voice. While I don't like his content on youtube, it's basically "video game industry doom and gloom" the channel and one reason why I unsubbed from Jim Sterlings channel (though my friend did tell me it's gotten better, so I might give it another shot), I do enjoy his voice acting. He fucking killed it as Father Pucci in Stone Ocean, I can't help but feel a deeper less "preacher like" voice of Pucci would've worked for Kiryu better.

Was that made when "Ha, ha, you're gay" was still considered an acceptable joke?

It was, and unfortunately, I used to think they were so funny. Growing up does a lot to change ones sense of humor. It's kind of why I really dislike anime's that always portray someone who is LGBT as a pervert that wants to rape/sexual harass people.

I'll second this. There are some really unfunny dated jokes, but I think it lands more than it misses.

"This trailer looks like shit"

"You just don't like, understand, brah"

Not only did you prove you have media illteracy, but you also have reading illiteracy as well.

Yeah they should do it where anytime there's a new Japanese character in the Tekken series, they're just a bastard child of Heihachi for the lolz.

She looks really cool though. Victor is still my top choice for best new Original Tekken 8 character, with Reina coming in second. Azucena just feels like any waifu character ever made, but her dance is fucking fire:

She was leaked, but there wasn't an announcement trailer until now.

She's basically waifu Heihachi. Glad they didn't make her a "highschool" student at least lol.

They confirmed this is the end of Loki's story arc, but I think they're still open to have him as a cameo in other Movies/Shows.

Amazing how well these things can come out when the end goal is something better than just doing a mirror match finale between a hero and equally powered villian.

100%. So sick of the finale being some CGI fest with almost no stakes of a hero vs a villain. Easily the best finale we got for a MCU show yet. It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.

Except the protagonist's argument isn't "you're not rendering services paid for!" it's "people need wishes for some vague reason except the bad ones"

also kind of hard to care about people forgetting "wishes". Who cares if some kid forgets he wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas? >_>

Jesus, media literacy is really going downhill.

Im going to take your money to perform a service, but Im not going to tell you if I performed the service and Im going to use magic to make you forget you asked.

Sounds very authoritarian and abusive. Hard disagree with the villain here.

This, like I think people are thinking way too hard about this.

Was Kim really Possible?

As a 5'6 person here and was still considered short even in my childhood and teen years, it really does get to you when there's such a double standards against short people. Where you're openly mocked for something you can't control and you're forced to be okay with it but make fun of someone over something controllable, like their weight, and all of a sudden you're the asshole. How I get called a midget when I'm not. I tried everything in the book to make myself taller like drinking milk, having my younger brother pull on my legs, using supplments that will supposedly "help" with growing, etc. My mom is 5'6, my dad is 5'10, my younger brother is 5'11, and finally my younger sister is 5'7. I always found it humiliating how everyone assumes my brother and sisters are older than me, where I don't want to take a picture next to my mom because I hate how we're on even grounds. It gets to you.

I felt like this from childhood through my early college years. How did I grow out of it though? Having a good mentor both my life and fitness coach that emphasized self improvement and noted that while I will have massive disadvantages because of my height. With his words, I instead of bitching and moaning about it I might as well improve on things that I can control like my body/health, aiming to graduate and get a good job, improve my social skills by forcing myself to be put in a uncomfortable social setting, etc. There's always something to improve upon and positive changes in my life didn't automatically start because of it, but eventually it did. I met my wife 3 years ago at a community service event at a local church near my apartment. If i still had the toxic mindset I used to have, I would never be in a position to start a friendship with her that naturally became a relationship to marriage.

Yeah I know this is a TMI, but it's something I am very passionate about when sharing. I'm hoping my life experience can at least attempt to be relatable in someway, even as small as possible. The last thing I want is for people to have a toxic view on life in general, I know I've been there and faced it before...and I fucking hated it. I'm the most happy in my life that I could be at the moment, espcially with my second child coming really soon.

Best Finale for a MCU show by far. The show is still no Andor, but I gotta give it to them that was one hell of an ending. I did not expect them to go this route. He Who Remains just went from a 5/10 from season 1 to a 9/10 in season 2. When he told Loki that no matter what "You lose.", that was fucking fire. Loki still loses, but he experienced soo much character development in this show from season 1 that honestly he probably did win in the end. He made a lot of friends and was willing to make a great sacrifice like this when Loki from Avengers 1 wouldn't have ever thought of such a thing. He basically made the Yggdrasil of the timelines and he finally got a throne.

8.5/10 show just for the finale alone. It meandered a lot in the middle episodes and I'm still kinda of confused how the whole time thing works, but it was the best ride I had so for a MCU show. It's my favorite MCU show yet.

I remember on CE, just a few years ago, on how everyone was praising it like they served good food lol. Maybe something changed, but I always remember as them being an expensive place serving mediocre food.

Someone should take the Ambien away from her.

yeah but you must have a bachelors accounting degree? Many have master's iirc. pretty sure you don't need that for like h and r block

Ugh yeah, you can't get a CPA license without a degree lol. I never got a masters, but maybe Calc 2 is required for it?

Movie is out yet?

My friends are going to be watching it tonight, but I'll be checking it out tomorrow. I'm going in with really low expectations.

GranTurismo posted...

maybe not, but dont' you need like calc 2 for an accounting degree?

Funny enough, no. I have my CPA license. The only thing they care about is having over 150 units and taking the core accounting classes. Business Calc was the last math course I had to take in CC to transfer over to a university. And all Business Calc was is just Calculus with word problems.

Business Calc. As long as you know how to do basic math and use a calculator, that's all you really need to be an accountant.

Yeah, I really wish the production of these was better. Part of the issue is that the director is a perfectionist and keeps making the animators redo shots.

Yeah I get that, but it sucks knowing some of the things you enjoy was made from the backs of someone suffering. I really do hope they do something to address it.

It really is a "both sides" situation. If you want to pick a team, I would always side with the innocents that are suffering from this conflict for the crime of simply being born in the wrong place. It's a really shitty situation with a very complicated history with almost no room for a peaceful resolution.

I'll admit, I had a lot of fun when I used it during my college years. I met one of my best friends on there as well. But yeah I totally understand why the creator would want to take it down. It only takes a few bad apples to make it not worth it.

Because both films are really really good. Not a fan of the crunch and harsh work environments the animators were put through though.

I'll admit it was a fun ride, even though I'm still confused with how the whole time thing works and everything. Let's just hope it doesn't fuck up the ending this time around.

I'm in love with this direction of going for more stylized than realistic look when it comes to animated movies.

Yeah "death" of super hero movies is a hyperbole. They would've died years ago if that was the case. I think what people are specifically talking about is the MCU formula and if they keep making mediocre movie after mediocre movies, they'll end up like the deceased DCEU Synderverse. Granted, the MCU is still in a better position than DC movies.

Looking forward to it. I enjoyed Season 1 for what it is. The story was alright, but the animation was next level. Proving that the evolution for animated shows/movies are 2-D and 3-D hybrids.

I like Umbrella Academy, but I don't like vague release dates.

just 2024 isn't enough, for me.

The vague dates was probably because of the writer and actor strike going on.

I hope they fucking tone down the nostalgia easter eggs from the last movie. It would've been a decent film if it didn't fucking shove "hey remember this villain from the first movie? How about this device? Remember this scene?", a lot of "member berrie" memes in it without being self aware of it.

This shows use how multiverses are done correctly, they arent just an excuse to resurrect an exact clone of a character with no personality differences.

Evil Mark is brutal

There has been at least 2 topics about it. Only 1 episode was released so far, so it will be discussed when the new episode pops out.

Not a fan of his work, but good on him for quitting out of protest.

-ZIO- posted...

There's been, like, two topics about this and nothing really substantial is being discussed in either. Just users attacking users.

Is it confirmed what was leaked by Steven "I beat my wife and show my junk to co-workers" Crowder was legit, or faked? Is that all there is to say, then?

The most we have right now is the court ordering 7 Nashville police officers on "administrative assignment" regarding the leaks and who was responsible for it. The fact they're trying to find out who did it probably leads to believe that it might be real, but it's safer to be skeptical until proven otherwise.

As a Mario fanboy, it's a 8.5/10 for the amount of fanservice stuffed into the movie. But on its own merits? The critics got it right, it's a 5/10 mediocre movie. Without the constant fanservice, it doesn't give anything for non-Mario fans to enjoy, except for the kids. The only reason I can consider it a family movie is because a lot of Millenials now are adults so it has enough nostalgia to entertain us and has enough colorful things happening on screen for the kids to enjoy, but otherwise I consider it a kids movie.

This is giving me Finding Dory vibes. Where I'm sure this is going to be a good movie, it will just feel so unnecessary. So I'm hoping Pixar will prove me wrong. The only recent Pixar film I really loved was Soul. Onward, Luca, Turning Red, Lightyear, and Elemental all were disappointments in my opinion.

Why did Chan hated filming RH?

@Prestoff

It's a mix of English not being his native language to having more talking than doing actual action scenes. Brett Ratner had a huge dislike in having action scenes last more than 2 minutes, for some reason. He said he had fun working with Chris Tucker, but that the whole situation in making the movies was just unfun for him and he dislike the direction the movies took. The only reason he agrees to make them is so he can use the Revenue generated from the movie to make his own movies.

Have you not seen Afro Samurai back in the day? >_>

Wasn't it American? I know it was animated by a Japanese studio, but it was first in English before it eventually got dubbed in Japanese.

Damn, I'm surprised that this anime is going out of its way to deconstruct the "gay person is a pervert" trope that is so popular with anime/mangas. Color me impressed.

It was crazy learning how they reused older animations to save on budget:
https://youtu.be/Uf9PMbpH_j8

Hilariously enough, an interview with one of the animators said it ended up being more expensive to do this because it took a lot of time to reuse animations and when it was "appropriate" to do so without it being obvious...which failed considering people found out almost instantly even back then lol.

To be expected, sadly. I'll still give it a watch, but I expect to be disappointed...or not since I'm going in with really low expectations.

Nostalgia, that's the answer. Same for Dragonball Z
