I do think there was probably foul play, but I don't see how it's not more likely that it was from someone currently in power like Trump or even the royals. Hell, there's still a chance Epstein himself was able to buy off a guard or something.

It doesn't seem like Team Sonic Racing sold that well despite being a solid game so maybe Sonic is running out of gas.

You can only make consistently bad games for so long before you eventually hurt even the most prestigious IP. It would happen to Mario over the course of a decade too if he got one okay game for every five dumpster fires.

The problem with banning guns here is that you'll be creating a black market the likes of which was only seen before during the prohibition.

Which is why pretty much no one suggests banning all guns entirely
---

-Shred

This is always one of the weaker arguments against gun legislation. Yeah, of course some maniacs would use knives instead. I'll take my odds against a dude with a knife over a dude with a gun, though.

Same with vans or bombs. How many dudes do you think know how to make a bomb and do so without getting caught? Some, but not nearly as many.

Yeah, Wild Thornberries is a good candidate. Catdog springs to mind.

There were a lot of cartoons growing up that we just knew because they were on Nick or Cartoon Network and that was the end of that.

In terms of "the main character deliberately tries to kill the villain in a fight to the death," all I can think of is

1) Simba throws Scar off a cliff into the fire (kind of only coincidental that he survived to then be eaten by hyenas)
2) Mulan blows up Shan Yu
3) Hercules knocks Hades into the swirling soul pool thing
---

-Shred

Yeah it's a valid point that Mulan definitely actively kills Shan Yu.

iPhone_7 posted...

Has a Disney hero ever directly killed a villain by choking them, shooting them, or stabbing them? I think the closest thing is probably shoving them off a ledge

Eric "stabs" Ursula
Mulan "shoots" Shan Yu

Can't think of any choking incidents outside of Clayton which is definitely not intentional by Tarzan.

Also, that said, I wasn't really counting Eric because he's not the main protagonist. If we do include him, then yeah, Prince Phillip also kills Maleficent.
---

-Shred

I mean, it makes sense. The majority of these movies preach that "might = right" is the wrong philosophy, and most of the villains are undone by hubris or by the power they wanted to control to teach a better lesson than "don't be a jerk or you'll get beat up by a superhero."

dramatic climax that just results in a loss of balance mid-monologue.

I mean, that's more or less what happens between the beast and gaston

Yeah, kinda, but at least they fight first.

There's not really any Disney movies I can think of where the hero just straight-up murders the bad guy. I guess Hercules yeets Hades pretty hard.
---

-Shred

Like classic Disney films, not talking about stuff like The Avengers and all that.

The Lion King has Simba and Scar actually fight, and Beauty and the Beast has a good fight between Beast and Gaston. It seems like most of the others that I can think of more have a dramatic climax that just results in a loss of balance mid-monologue.

It felt too basic to me. I like there to be more layers like White Christmas or USS Callister. Or even Shut Up and Dance.

p.s. Great username/album btw

Thank you!

And anyway, I don't entirely disagree with you on White Bear, but it totally lives and thrives on its twist. I spent most of the episode thinking "this is... kind of a reach, yeah? There's gotta be something deeper here or this is just stupid" and then WHAM. Totally delivered IMO.
---

-Shred

You gotta be the first person I've ever spoken to about Black Mirror that hates White Bear. That episode is great.

I guess it's probably fallen out of Best Episode Ever candidacy for me but still a solid Top 5.

"It's not guns, we have a mental health issue"

Bullshit. Sure, we have a mental health issue in America that also needs to be addressed, but first and foremost we have a "white supremacists with easy access to terrifying weapons" issue.

It's tough.

S1 has maybe the best episode of the show in Entire History of You, a solid entry in Fifteen Million Merits, and an iconic if absolutely fucked-up premiere in National Anthem, so that's a good choice.

S2 has Be Right Back and White Bear, both of which are also heavy contenders for Best Episode Ever, but also has Waldo which remains possibly the show's dumbest episode which makes it hard to weigh.

S3 has two great eps (Shut Up and Dance + San Junipero), a really good ep imo (Playtest), two ok eps (Nosedive and Men Against Fire), and a dumpster fire (Hated in the Nation), so probably not that one despite some very good entries.

S4 has low-key one of my faves with Hang the DJ, and USS Callister was also fantastic. Black Museum was pretty good. Arkangel was just decent, though, and Crocodile/Metalhead push Hated in the Nation and Waldo for the show's worst material. So, again, probably not that one.

S5 is the weirdest to judge because I don't think any of the three were PHENOMENAL, but also it's the first time since S1 where none of the episodes were hot trash either. Like, all three were "pretty good."

So... I guess all told, weighing the highs and lows, I'll go... season 2? The peaks of White Bear and Be Right Back outweighing the shittiness of Waldo? Idk. Tough between that and S1.

S2 > S1 >> S5 > S3 > S4

However, I'm not factoring in White Christmas or Bandersnatch. If you throw White Christmas into S2 then it's definitely the best easily.

It is profoundly weird to me that suddenly learning from the past or appreciating what went right and what went wrong is "taboo" or "in-fighting." It's not like they went up there and called Obama a bitch.

Obama seems like a good dude and got some stuff done but by and large spent eight years getting punked by McConnell and people were so uninspired that the party's handchosen successor got beaten by a wannabe fascist reality TV star. It's okay to realize that maybe we need to present a more compelling vision.

I mean almost everyone was RELATIVELY disappointed with Diablo 3, but I still played the shit out of it and find myself binging for a bit once every year or two. Reaper was a huge game-saver.

Really, my primary disappointment was just what a shitty Saturday Morning Cartoon joke the story and villains became. I hope the rumors of a Diablo 4 that's prioritizing a return to the gothic fantasy vibe are true.

Yes, and so does toxic femininity.

This. Not rocket science.

People tend to get pissy/defensive and assume toxic masculinity implies being masculine is toxic. Not at all the case.

FYI for those who speak music, I figured out what he did was shift the traditional theme from 3/4 to 4/4 which lends itself to that more intense percussive orchestration. Not rocket science but a really neat touch.

It must be cool to be Hans Zimmer and have that chance to actually amend one of your masterwork scores with things you wish youd done.

You people are crazy. The OST of Lion King is fantastic even if you exclude the musical songs. Hearing those tracks in the remake was the closest thing that got me to being emotional.

Gotta agree with this. Haven't seen the original in over a decade (maybe close to a decade and a half), but the soundtrack was memorable enough to have it come flooding back when I saw the remake.

Yeah, I could hum a good chunk of it off the top of my head.

It didn't get canceled! There's a final season coming out and Sam Esmail said it was on his own terms.

I'd just approach it kinda like how Breaking Bad doesn't teach you how to actually make meth.

GREAT show, really excited for the final season. I think it's criminally underrated.

S1 was great, S2 was pretty good, S3 was phenomenal.
