its been debated as to whether or not korn invented nu-metal, or if that crown belongs to deftones y'know...imma just step out the box and go with orgy on this one
I think in retrospect, the 1st Korn album in 1994 is considered the 1st nu-metal album. But if you look a bit farther back, the seeds for the genre were planted by bands like Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, the early Red Hot Chili Peppers.

But yeah, from a 1994 perspective, there were a number of California bands that were on a similar wavelength.

Schulz offers a good lesson. Don't trust comedic people that made their bones in Hollywood. Trust the guy that works the clubs and built his way to a bigger career organically, and has their ear to the street. These guys know which way the wind blows. When these comedians were saying that Trump would win in 2016, their woke pals were stringing them up and bashing them. It does not mean they like him and want him to win. It means that they perceive the climate more accurately than people who are stuck in the NYC/LA world.

That is ridiculous. The super cool Darth Vader in RO should not supersede the original trilogy. Especially because RO is such a non-factor movie. It tricked a lot of people including me.

We're probably on the borderline of those movies (prime Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, 90's comedy) being relevant. I just saw the 1st Ace Ventura the other day. As a kid, I only remembered the rhino scene from the 2nd movie. I enjoyed it, but if you show that generation's comedy movies to a Gen Z kid, I have no idea what they'd think. The jist of every cult 90's comedy is basically "the main guy is a moron".

My ex was far younger and hadn't seen Dumb & Dumber. My advice would be NOT to push it on her. She ended up hating it. They'll never feel the way you did when you watched it as a kid. Leave the hype at the door as much as you can.

I'm 35 and have never seen a single Star Wars movie, new or old.
If you ever do get around to it, just watch the original 3 and pretend nothing else exists. The rest of the franchise might as well be table scraps or outright garbage. The circle jerk over the far inferior movies has clouded how damn good the first 2 movies are (Return of the Jedi is good, but a step down).

In the 60's, DC went insane and Marvel kicked ass.
In the 80's, Marvel went insane and DC kicked ass.
In the 90's, both of them went insane.
In the 00's, both of them kicked ass.
Now they switch between the two on a dime, but only one at a time can be good.
To be fair in the 80's, Marvel probably had the best extended runs in their main universe books (Frank Miller Daredevil, Chris Claremont X-Men and all the spinoffs, etc). But DC gets a big edge for creating the adult market in 85-86 and then rebooting their main universe and unifying it.

For all the bashing I gave DC for basically giving up the lead, they redeemed themselves in the 80's: Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, The Sandman, Swamp Thing by Alan Moore, V for Vendetta, The Killing Joke, Green Arrow by Mike Grell, etc. They pretty much nailed down the graphic novel format in a way that Marvel hasn't quite done.

Spider-Man didn't exist until the 60s. I think you're overselling how long Marvel has been doing what they're doing. Stan Lee spoke about this at length earlier. The biggest appeal of Spider-Man was the full body covering because you couldn't identity his race/ethnicity while he was wearing it so it was a big hit with minority communities while DC was still peddling white power.
I know that Spider-Man is from 1962. It's a somewhat hard era to read on both sides, but the Marvel stuff of that decade outclasses DC most of the time. That to me just says how forward-thinking Stan Lee and his artists were right out of the gate. DC felt like a post-war fantasy land whereas Marvel reflected the real world far more. The NYC setting also helps a lot.

This perception is kind of DC's fault. They were still writing these cardboard thin comic book characters while Stan Lee over at Marvel wrote actual flawed people. Spider-Man is struggling to pay the rent and over at DC, Batman is pretty much exactly like the Adam West TV show. The whole Justice League gets along. The Avengers are rotating members every couple issues and there are personality conflicts. Marvel felt like it was hip with the counterculture movement. DC just trodded along like it was the post-WW2 era.

DC didn't make "relevant" stories until the early 70's. Batman had returned to being the "dark detective". Green Lantern and Green Arrow fought against societal ills. Superman got his powers lowered and the extra fluff got cut out. But they did it pretty much a decade too late. Marvel got a hold of the sales lead somewhere in the 70's and hasn't not really let it go. One of the main Batman series (Detective Comics) was on the brink of cancellation in the late 70's. The saving grace for DC is that they had lead in the movie business for decades until the 2000's. And even with that huge lead, they had like... 5 good movies from 1978 to 2005. And calling the Tim Burton movies 'good' is almost a stretch.

tommybel89

I chose Korn, but if Deftones count (for their early material), they would win by leaps and bounds. They started out more in the nu metal world but progressed beyond it, whereas Korn has a really good 1st album and then a few "meh" prime albums (though I think the 4th and 5th ones are solid) but some banging singles. Their 2019 album was pretty damn solid too.

I also like Slipknot too. Their last album was really good stuff. The 1st album bangs. Only really know the big tracks. I like SOAD but haven't dove deep into their albums. I have a soft spot for Linkin Park's first 2 albums but they're pretty basic and don't go as hard as the 1st few Korn and Deftones.

The rest of the list is mostly horse****.
