That sir, is a fine idea. I figure that was what they were kinda going for in a season 2. Oh well, easy come easy go huh? 

Aside from a literal clone of Kyo, “Kusanagi,” KOF doesn’t really suffer from characters who play like Kyo unless you count KOF 95 Iori. 

If anything, I get that. I suppose after the series was over, I just wanted a little more about what happened to everyone after Spike was gone. The live-action felt like a way to continue the story, and I liked the direction even though I didn’t like several elements to it.

As someone who’s watched the original several times, and enjoys it, I still don’t quite see why people love it that much. It had charismatic characters, an intriguing setting, and a competent exploration of existentialism and ennui. Still, does that really make it one of the best shows ever? I know everyone is saying…

Other than Ed, Vicious, and Fearless, there was so much to like about the show. 

I enjoyed it, and was looking forward to the second season. It had potential as long as I wasn’t constantly making comparisons to the source material. I wanted to see what a Cowboy Bebop would be like in the direction they took it. 

Maybe it’s because I went through the audiobooks, but I felt Wes Chatham was fairly close to book Amos. I would argue that Tipper as Naomi is the odd one out, but not really by much. 

Man, I know it would totally ruin everything, but I would pay good money to watch Duarte voiced like Mr. Krabs. 

Not all Michelin starred restaurants are like that.  I happily ate at one where I felt ridiculously full after. 

What’s a sex? 

The point of art is to look at something and form your own interpretation. However, it doesn’t stop a lot of people from just going “Ooooooh, pretty,” before moving on.

If you quickly scan down the rest of the comments made by me and the other commentors, it’s clear we all know we should pay attention. The point though, was that a lot of people don’t. Maybe it’s obvious because you’re smart and well informed, but you’d be surprised at how much “simple stuff” goes right over people’s…

Yeah, but with internet, it’s hard to blame anyone. That new garbage info high is far worse than drugs. 

I totally get what you mean, and I’m pretty sure I agree with you 100% down to the I don’t want to look that invested in Teigen. But when I said “who cares about optics,” it was really just criticism levied at the online social media crowd who seems to care way too much about whether their favourite/most abhorred…

I spend enough time on Defector/Gawker to have plenty of stuff go over my head. But I’ve also seen how so much of what I understand goes over the head of others too. There really is this stratification of intelligence that society is going to have to contend/compromise with if we’re ever going to improve and it…

What I really don’t get is this self-cannibalism that we subject ourselves to when it comes to social justice. I mean, I’m all about social justice but I know I’ve done some questionable (not horrible, just insensitive) things in the past. But the point is we learn and try to get past it. It really feels like we’re…

That’s probably true, but I’d probably think more about the demographics of the people who saw both. At this point, I think that may matter more than the actual content of the film - in terms of social effect, not in terms of the importance of the values expressed. 

But does anyone other than the hyper analytical online crowd really care about the optics? I mean, yes, I can see how it’s in bad taste, but I’m fairly certain for most people it’s just another weird theme party a celebrity is throwing.

In fairness, that’s on par for the course in the case of entertainment in general, no? 

I mean, I’m not even close to being Team Teigan here, but I mean what if they just really like the show? Is it really important for them to be thinking of the political undertones of it? Maybe I’m just at the point where I think asking everyone to be smart is too much.
