It’s one of these things. I know this was ostensibly an incredibly popular comic strip, and I do remember those stuffed Garfields stuck to car windows in my childhood. But I’ve never actually met anyone who said they liked Garfield at all. Actually, that’s not true; I did have a conversation a while back where someone…

Does he not make dog noises?

I hated that cartoon.  Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats all the way.

It’s the best version; still a long way from good.

There hasn’t been a good anything version.

What’s the problem?

I’m in favor of keeping the sublimated chemistry going on but stopping returning to the well of teasing things advancing only to pull back. Long-term work crushes are real, but it could be a hell of a lot less soapy. 

Fair.

Yeah, it’s a real sacred text for people desperate to develop a personality.

I think you mistyped “angst” when you meant “pretentious corniness” or “corny pretentiousness.”

I mean, in the context of how Spider-Man characters get their powers, this is actually pretty reasonable.

“Rage bait” was a bit hyperbolic, but effusive and contrarian praise for an objectively terrible movie is definitely designed to maximize pointless engagement.

How fucking lonely are you that you keep returning to this boring comment section every few weeks for months on end? Is this the last time anyone participated in a conversation with you?

I’m not sure it’s passion so much as deliberate rage bait content for a one-time home of thoughtful media criticism that is now merely a clicks farm.  Nothing gets that precious engagement more than a terrible take presented with conviction.

I’m sorry, honest question: what was memorable about Naboo? I honestly can’t remember anything in particular about it, other than that there was a cliched underwater kingdom, but I don’t think that’s the part you meant.

Oh please.

Well, if shitty angry incels disapprove, it can’t be bad!

Past the border, none of that should be okay without probably cause. 

And it’s funny.

The crazy thing about all of that is that Larry was the edgier of the two, and people still love him. Not because of some bullshit “wokeness” criteria, but because he’s funny. Seinfeld never was.
