Your example is much different. If your dad DVR’s the game, but then goes to ESPN and is mad that they have the score, that’s his fault, and you can complain. If he’s busy and wants to watch the game later without knowing what happens, why can’t you just let him do it?

Or you could just shut the fuck up and not ruin the game experience. i’m basing this off of the 50 word response you wrote, but I’m guessing your Dad is incredibly disappointed in you. constantly.

Yeah it infuriates you the same way it probably infuriates your dad and other people in your life when you flip out about Naruto spoilers or whatever dorky ass shit you’re into. And it’s not about being disconnected it’s about having responsibilities that keep you from watching it live but still wanting to experience…

You're intentionally being a dick.

Total dick move on your part.

There’s a big difference between shutting yourself off from the internet and news sources until you can watch and you knowingly cheering in the presence of someone who’s shutting himself off. Dick move.

Way to be considerate to your dad. You seem like a good son.

... because it’d be horrible beyond imagining to learn that the most evil being known to humanity was your dad, and that’d be an interesting thing for the hero to have to integrate?

What is Sauron’s character “arc”? What is Bill Sikes’s internal struggle? Where does The Joker’s villainy originate in his childhood? What is the source of Judge Holden’s emotional pain? How is Iago redeemed? What’s eating away at Hannibal Lecter’s self esteem? How did the Wicked Witch of the West feel about her…

The idea that Darth Vader has, or needs to have, an “arc” is silly. It’s space opera; the entire appeal of it is the clash between elemental good and evil. He’s the towering, terrifying embodiment of death. He can be either defeated or not defeated. Let the protagonists have arcs.

That is the precise thing that makes it terrible. Giving Darth Vader a core of pure goodness was an unforgivably stupid narrative choice.

That’s a Clowney question, bro.

To be fair, it’d be cruel to make Buffalo fans snort their coke off a mirror.

Dammit, Andrew, when you grind bones to make your bread it’s not supposed to be your own!

You’re 32 and this is how you react to folks on the internet?
