Franchise was the word you’re misusing, dumbass. I don’t even care about the show. It could be literally be a reboot of anything, but it’s not a fucking franchise. Words have meanings.
So you should be allowed to throw whatever buzzwords you feel like at it? Fuck off, if you can express actual critique for it fine, but just “boo-hoo I hate franchises” is a useless addition to any discussion about it.
I much prefer practical effects, always have
Franchise, really? Throwing that word around pretty loosley now aren’t we? It was 1 show that ran for three seasons and still has fans after 29 years.
What made it a franchise? Is every cartoon a “franchise” now because there could be merchandise? No, find something actually criticize or fuck off.
Uh oh, somebody got their feelings hurt

Could I convince you to quit whining about it?
I didn’t mean to imply you were the only one, just that your brief awareness of it was miscategorized.
Well you really missed the entire point of the show and summed up your ignorance of it pretty aptly.
It’s about way more than your surface observation. If you’ve been through addiction then it’s probably a show that will really resonate with you. The aim is not to watch adults pretend to be teens, it’s to watch people you can sympathize with, go through an incredibly difficult age and deal with a collection of problems that you’ve had before. If you’ve been through drug culture and made it out the otherside, you will recognize a lot of the characters as people you’ve known, or been.
It was, but not for the reason you think.
FATWS suffered from heavy edits to remove a plot about vaccines and manufactured disease during covid. I understand why they did it, but it hurt the show and would have been better left in.
She-hulk and secret invasion are actually good shows that a bunch of vocal fan boys won’t stop crying about because marvel didn’t do it the way they would have.
She hulk is probably my favorite production of theirs, and ive literally seen everything theyve done. I’m a big fan of bryne’s runs from the 80s and the show really nails the flavor of those comics. Shulkie’s fourth wall breaking isn’t just aimed at the viewer. She would frequently argue or call out writers, artists and editors from her panels. She would break them and dump them off the page. She would question why they drew her in a skimpy costume on the cover that she was never seen in throughout the issue. The show gets that and executes it well. When she goes back to the disney+ screen and crawls through the BTS doc to go find Kevin was perfection. It’s exactly what I would expect from the Jen Walter’s that I grew up reading. Marvel knew which parts of the fanbase would hate her and made them the villains, of course it pissed then off. It was supposed to. If you saw the forums plotting her demise and saw yourself posting there, you just outed yourself as part of the problem.
Secret invasion suffers from a different problem.
Think back to Age of Ultron. Was that a close adaptation of the titular comic event? No. What about civil war? Not really. Infinity war? No Adam warlock, no Death worshipping Thanos trying to impress his love, so no. They have a consistent habit of naming the movie for the most recognizable, or marketable, event and adapting the characters faithfully while rearranging the story to fit their needs. Which is a good way to do it. I don’t want to watch a direct adaptation of most comicbook storyline. I want to see a fresh take on it, I’ve already read those issues.
So everyone went into Secret Invasion expecting the comicbook storyline, which was stupid. It didn’t track with their naming convention or how that story would make sense in the current state of the MCU. Theres going to be spoilers ahead, but the last episode aired almost a week ago so I doubt anyone who cares will be surprised.
I enjoyed the show very much, but I didn’t expect it to be just like the books. What we got was an adaption of the original Super Skrull story, from way back in the F4s early days. The skrulls couldn’t overpower the F4, so they figured out a way to replicate their abilities too. All of them. That was the goal of the original super skrull story, to pit them against one enemy that can do everything they can. We don’t have the F4 in the MCU though, we only have the avengers right now.
Overall, I thought the show felt like a lot of lead up, there wasn’t a pay off because that’s coming next. It was left with Ritson as a devisive, offensive president, I believe he is a skrull. For all the complaining about “why did skrodey get to shoot his mouth off and ritson didn’t care?”, “why didn’t he listen to nick after he knew about the threat” starts to make sense if Ritson was the next phase of the plan.
Spoilers end her and we enter into my wild speculation.
We know that thunderbolt Ross will be the president, and we know who will be on his thunderbolts team. Who are they? Huh, mostly supersoldiers and spies, and a big change up from their comics lineup. I expect Ritson and the vp will leave seats vacated, through death or betrayal or some other means and Ross will assume command as next in line, however far down they have to go to leave it to him. He puts together that team to hunt down more skrulls.
In short, I think the payoff that everyone wanted will be in Thunderbolts and this was the prequel.
I don’t care what they do, but I’m not going to encourage anyone to go back there. Certainly not over fucking r/place, that shit was always lame
No, fuck place and fuck reddit. Quit going back there and giving them traffic
Tim curry is just the fucking best
It’s not here, but you can watch the pbs newshour on YouTube for free, or you can stream the audio over your phone (I use spotify, but I’m sure it’s on other platforms too).
Browse lemmy for entertainment, watch the news for information
C’mon son, can we not bring that argument over from reddit.
I mean emulation has replicated a ton of them. I don’t think that’s how the article wanted them preserved, but people are doing the work
Stuff them with cheese first!
Ricotta with pesto works great, anything in the boursin family too
I’ve got a goblin and a cat deck that I love. The cats don’t use cat people though, all low mana cost real cats and uses beastmaster ascension to scale them up. Nothing as satisfying as pay 1 mana to drop a sacred cat or two that’s suddenly a 6/6 lifelink with embalm.
I built an all black cult deck that thematically is tons of fun, but needs some work to be more reliable. It’s stacked with some dark rituals, and mostly clerics thar make up the “cultists” then there’s some sacrifice to search your library/return from graveyard/play from hand, and fi ally some massive OP demon cards. You sac the cultists to call out your demons, its fun but it’s not perfect.
The best combo I’ve managed with it was a swamp, dark ritual and 2 priest of gix on my draw, with put down 2 2/1 creatures on turn one and left me with 3 black mana left to spend on three cards left in my hand.
And this is not a collection of shit. It is one show. Judging by your comment history though you’re fucking insufferable. Take a block and go be miserable elsewhere no one cares about your whiny ass opinions.
