I don't feel super qualified to comment on this show anymore since I dropped it along with Arrow last year after Felicity nuked a town and got no recourse other than a dry pat on the shoulder, but IMO the weakness of the Flash as a franchise in its own right is the fact that his power is just waaaaaay better than most…

I just started Nier Automata after 140 hours of P5, is it a good followup or have a fucked myself by not playing Nier first?

Yeah…the first sign that the world was turning into a flaming mudball of anguish and disappointment was that the show got permacanceled in the age of Amazon/Netflix.

LiS is probably the first game that ever made me considered making laughably selfish and irresponsible decisions for the sake of love, from stealing money to outright murder.

Trump also clearly has a speech impediment, and is also probably drunk most of the time, but I don't see anyone giving him the pass on those grounds, lol.

Haven't you guys seen the episodes of Hannibal where he's just chilling in his transparent, easy to clean murder suit?

…You know, Churchill pronounced it in much the same way.

This is the only Lost in the Funhouse I'm actually familiar with. I was like, "this jackass is the guy who did the frame-tale story?"

I'll not try to defend the extemely flimsy drug addiction subplot, which was most definitely the weakest aspect of the season, but I really dug how all of Buffy's arrogant assumptions about life were completely destroyed by her friends. Like, I'm aware that pretty much everyone involved in the filming of that season…

Anyone who remembers Power Rangers Samurai can recall his character going on and on about his Muramasa, the sword that was the character's true love essentially.
Dude takes shit way too method.

Controversy this, tone-deaf assertion of importance by the police department that…but man, no amount of talking can erase just how disgusting gaudy that design looks. Like, Christ alive guys, go put some pot in a graphic designer's pocket and offer to get him out of it in exchange for a redesign, at least…

ITS BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME

See, even if you really do feel that way, just saying it like that to his face is gonna get you like…nowhere…

I had a Japanese Studies professor in College describe the phenomenon to me as the collective Japanese view of "The People." I believe the word he used was Yamato, which was kind of confusing since Yamato is like, several things in modern Japan, but he clarified by stating that anime is rendered like that because it's…

Sigh…
I saw this type of reasoning in the Man in the High Castle reviews as well. If you want to rag on the Civil War book because it's a terrible, rote version of a terrible, rote story that's been one of two crossover topics since 1985 (srsly, it's always either, some asshole wants to blow this planet up, or some…

I can't help but feel like a bit of this is the current political climate creating an atmosphere in which no liberal content writer wants to be accused of complimenting even fictional Nazis for occasional flashes of humanity. I agree that it's incredibly silly; as if acknowledging that ideological opponents are…

Well, yeah, that's probably hyperbole. They were not beaten and degraded in the way that the SS treated their prisoners, nor were they subjected to arbitrary death. Still, the psychological damage done to the population was probably in the same sport, if not the same ballpark.

I mean, you can bring up Dirlewanger and his gang of murderers and rapists into the conversation if you want to, but the problem begins to show itself when you get into why the uprising was staged in the first place, namely misplaced nationalism and the belief that their allies, so called "good guys" would bail them…

Agreed. I think the Second World War can be a bit tricky since people are willing to point to Nazi and Imperial Japanese ideology as being the objective moral floor from a purely "long term well-being of the species" perspective, but finding the ceiling in an era where the "good guys" starved half of India…

That's certainly your prerogative, but "Nazis" can refer to multiple groups of people with differing levels of ideological commitment to Hitler and his cause, from his personal SS bodyguard to random fourteen year old boys pressed into Volkssturm service. By that same token, Resistance fighters can refer to the Maquis…
