WAIT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS STORY WTF IS GOING ON

So I decided to get a Rotom a few months ago because I thought I could handle one, and long story short I found her this morning inside my laptop buying crap I don't need online. Still love her though

It's one of the worst ideas they've ever had. His movies are basically what has damaged the brand's reputation, probably forever, because they were the most influential thing the brand has done since Beast Wars

I seriously don't get the sentiment of "if you're not playing on the hardest setting you're not a true gamer", when I really don't find things fun when they're overly hard

I play them on lower difficulties too. Trust me, try fighting the bosses on high difficulty in a lot of fighting games and you'll WISH you were playing on the easiest setting

My biggest question is why they felt the need to do that

randomweeb.bsky.social @randomweeb.bsky.social · 28d

I first heard about it from a Blameitonjorge video because I never saw the show as a kid

I actually really liked Legacy so I was sad Daft Punk wasn't returning, especially since they split 4 years ago, but just from the trailers I think NIN is a good substitute

Jesus fucking christ... things have gotten so bad for Warner Bros, and now the possibility of being merged with another studio when they were one of the biggest? How the mighty have fallen...

randomweeb.bsky.social @randomweeb.bsky.social · 28d

I'm sure the same show also has that banned episode where Baxter Stockman makes a clone body that starts rotting almost immediately which 4Kids gave the greenlight... but Sonic X was so sanitised in the English dub they even had to change the sound effect for the fucking spindash (no I'm not joking)

Also when the movie was released in the US they were going to release it at the same time as Bruce Lee's first major movie, The Big Boss, but somehow got their names swapped, so The Big Boss was known as "Fists of Fury", while they called the real Fist of Fury "The Chinese Connection"

I never said that for that scene. My point was that Superman doesn't seem to give a shit about saving anyone

Wait what was that last part?

randomweeb.bsky.social @randomweeb.bsky.social · Sep 13

I thought of a better example. How about the over 5,000 people that died in Metropolis?

In the same movie Superman literally LEAVES a burning building with people inside so he can go off and sulk

Rorschach is a good example because most adaptations try to make you like him because he looks cool, when in the comic he's an irredeemable shitbag of a human meant to show what a vigilante would look like to a regular bystander

I found this video a while ago about how pointless the constant sequels to Watchmen are and how a lot of the important things about the characters are always just tossed in the trash

And I've said it before, but Snyder didn't understand it either since by his own admission, he was only interested because it had sex and violence in it and not the actual themes of the comic

randomweeb.bsky.social @randomweeb.bsky.social · Sep 12

I have kind of a hot take here: I think Watchmen needs to stop being adapted because of how thoroughly the original themes get butchered constantly, and more Watchmen stuff is literally only made because of a contract loophole so Alan Moore won't get the character rights back

Especially since it's supposed to be an important moment where the shock of seeing Lex being so coldblooded causes Metamorpho to help Superman, while MoS and BvS just feel like they're saying "people suck and you shouldn't save ANYONE
