  1. We HAVE to get back those swollen naggy daddies!

      CUT!

       

      No, Mr. Krabs, it's "stolen Krabby Patties".

  2. Now I'm gonna let go of yer lips, and when I do, I want you to calmly tell me what youse need to tell me, understand?

  3. So I just finished watching Cosmic Fury and while I liked it, I felt it was rushed, and I while I do like the more open-ended "and the adventure continues" type implications (since the Rangers are still connected to the Morphin Grid and the idea that this is a prequel to Once and Always judging by Billy's last line), it doesn't feel like a true potential "ending" if this IS going to be the last entry in the franchise (as we've known it in the last 30 years) in the same way "Countdown to Destruction" was back in 1998. I've talked about what the "true" problem with Power Rangers is as of late on Twitter - and I'll say it again here: the problem is that Hasbro, like Saban before them, are desperately trying to make lightning strike twice the same way MMPR did back in 1993; however they're doing so incorrectly by trying either to reboot it or (in Simon Bennett's case) trying to divorce it from the tokusatsu genre. Now, on the other side of the spectrum, there are Sentai purists who despise PR and see it as either a "blight" on tokusatsu or an ooutdated relic of 1980s/90s style "Americanizations" of Japanese media. And while I can agree that PR is admittedly rooted in a now-out-of-fashion practice, the solution is not to dub Sentai a la modern anime dubs (both for practical and values dissonance-related reasons). The real problem with Power Rangers as a franchise is that it tries too hard to chase that magic and rest on its laurels without realizing what made MMPR good in the first place - it wasn't unique admittedly, and the plots and characters (especially early on) could be goofy at times. But MMPR had good writing and characterizations, and could be something anyone could enjoy.

      The cynic in me isn’t exactly hopeful about the reboot, tbph. It’s been in development hell since the 2017 movie flopped, and I doubt it will get to its projected release date of 2025.

      And I say this as someone who loved the 2017 movie, there’s a reason it flopped: PR just isn’t interesting to the mainstream anymore.

  4. I say this as a very loyal Muse fan - this sucks:

     

  5. Kind of a hot take, but I agree with Alan Moore that "The Killing Joke" is not a very good story (and arguably has done more harm to the character of the Joker than good - namely in cementing his "crazy serial killer" incarnation as the default personality and making him so "iconic" to the point of overuse)

      @Orlando BloomThat's true - it also gave us "The Dark Knight" and "Joker" films.

  6. Little Bobby, and little Susie, have hung their stockings with care. Mom and Dad are out looking for Tickle-Me-Elmo ’til five a.m., and all of a sudden, Bobby looks up and he says, “Hey! Who is this Jesus?” Meanwhile, Kris Kringle is drinking Coke, the reindeer are playing Nintendo, the elves are wearing Nike!-

      That means a lot coming from you, man.

      I've always loved the Silver Age of comics, and honestly, this lit is going to be my tribute to why people still love superheroes: as ideals of imagination and role models, that they show what we could be.

      (tbh, I hate 99% of superhero "deconstructions", and in hindsight, bringing Greyknight onboard for PR: MVF was a bad idea in hindsight because it devolved into...essentially Rob Liefeld's Power Rangers; I kinda want Supreme: The Ivory Icon to be the absolute antithesis to the vast majority of that lit's second season).

  11. Honestly, I'd argue that Supreme: The Ivory Icon is...basically an apology for PR: MVF's second season, in the same way Moore's Supreme run was basically his apology for his '80s work, especially Watchmen.

    1. Rebel the Wolfgirl

      Rebel the Wolfgirl

      Watchmen is honestly the only superhero deconstruction I like for one reason: it's still idealistic in the end, but not an optimistic story. And in the end, it's still very much a superhero story (especially with Rorschach still sticking to his uncompromising views in spite of the fact that up until then, doing so was shown to be a bad thing for him).

      who even rhymes like that

      like, i know nothing about rap, but i'm pretty sure you have to construct it like poetry almost: you need to select rhymes that keep a good flow.

  15. I'm now at the level of boredom where I'm legit considering giving MLP FIM a watch for the first time. Yeah. Why not?

  16. Well I'm not going to prison, Barry! I'm not going to prison! ATTICA! ATTICAAAAAAA!

  17. It I were to ever write my own fanmake for @4EverGreen 's One Shot Stories (or even for my Riting Revue), it'd be one for "Joker", starring Daffy Duck in the title role.

      Also, if you ever do decide to watch "Joker", I'd highly recommend it. I think it's on Amazon.

      I was actually discussing this with my stepdad - our prison and justice systems need major reform.

      Honestly, their best seem to be the self-titled albums, at least in my opinion.

  23. Yo I wanna get a quick show of hands for something. Would anyone be interested in seeing me review Billboard #1 Alternative Songs like these (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billboard_number-one_alternative_singles_of_the_1990s) by year? Idk it just always seemed fun to me and I wanna try and pick up a new hobby and find a way to be more active here again.
