  • “why can’t they just make it good”

    well, as it turns out, good, truly good and griping, is hard.

    when you have the stars who can carry just about anything, quality can slip a bit, but when you don’t, and it’s been proven the stars you’re using, aren’t compelling personalities, for whatever reason, and don’t have the draw themselves, good becomes paramount. and because the mcu is built around intertwined narratives which are almost completely dependent on characters, when the characters themselves aren’t working (mackie, larson, et all) and the narrative itself is far past being played out, you’re sorta up a creek.





















  • When you “block” someone on Reddit, they can see and reply to your posts and comments, they can search your comment history, which could lead to identification and doxxing. It’s fucking bullshit. When you block someone they should cease to exist, cease to be able to see, or vote, comment or reply to your content, at all. Mastodon does this perfectly. Lemmy and Mbin do not. It’s abusive and it’s fucked.










  • Fan service used to be a wink and a nod, which was fun, now it’s an entire industry, which is so not fun.

    The snake doesn’t eat it’s own tail, it cuts it off, sells, it and grows the same fucking tail again, then sells it again, ad infinitum.

    Movies that have no utility except to make money from fan bases who can’t say no, and Television so bloated with callback and fluff, stuffed into season shortened to 6 -8 episodes, the object of the story is lost.
