There's an evil twin to "has only ever played Dungeons & Dragons and thinks all tabletop RPGs are as complicated as Dungeons & Dragons" that lives somewhere in the vicinity of "went straight from Dungeons & Dragons to rules-light storygames and thinks Dungeons & Dragons represents the high end of tabletop RPG complexity". Like, buddy, you have no idea.

I dunno that saying that the Big Two weaponized the CCA against horror comics is accurate (especially since both Journey into Mystery and Strange Tales were Atlas/Marvel titles), given the fact that every source I can find including the transcripts say that the biggest nail in the coffin for horror comics was the William Gaines appearance I mentioned, but they definitely exploited it against their competition

“Of course it was the fucking CCA god damn it”

Even aside from the consolidation in the industry, a lot of the supernatural characters in Marvel Comics (Thor and Doctor Strange are both standouts) have their roots in horror-story-of-the-week comics (Journey into Mystery and Strange Tales, in the case of Thor and Doctor Strange) that had to pivot out of the genre after the CCA de facto killed horror in comics after William Gaines’ appearance before the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1954

To non-comics fans I cannot overstate the damage the CCA did to comics as an industry, especially as the Big Two weaponized it to kill horror comics and reduce competition.

Y'all. Brian found the original Star wars a new hope on some random Roku app today. Like the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL, greedo doesn't shoot AT ALL

He doesn't remember the name of it, so when I get home I'll find it and let you guys know more

I think the more popular interpretation is that it just fucked off to chill in a cave and fight all the wild snorlaxes and magnetons and gen1 chanseys and the league just kinda blocked the cave off to prevent people from earning Darwin Awards, but that might just be my corner of the internet

What do you think the Pokemon Anime's version of Mewtwo would do if he found himself in the Digital World of Digimon Adventure

That is a difficult one. I'm much more familiar with Game Mewtwo, who's really just a hyperfocused warrior who'll throw hands with whoever looks the strongest. Anime Mewtwo has a lot of hangups about cloning and artificiality and I'm not sure how that would translate to the Digital World.

Jason Todd: I can get why you don’t kill Cobblepot or Nygma or Dent but why in the good goddamn don’t you kill the clown

Bruce: are. Are you being serious

Jason: of fucking course I’m being serious, Bruce!

Bruce: because if I kill him I lose track of him.

Jason: huh?

Bruce: and if I lose track of him, who knows how much bullshit he’ll get up to before I can find him again.

Jason:

Bruce: you’re mad because I have a va-

Jason: I’m mad because you have a valid reason yeah

The Acolyte almost reminds me of the Eragon movie: it’s not like. a Bad Show, out of context, but it is a bad Star Wars show, and in the context of the franchise as it exists it’s both extremely tonally dissonant and contradictory with what we know about both the world as a whole and the High Republic-era Order as we know it through the books

I honestly can’t bring myself to really care much about the acolyte cancellation like i really just feel bad for the actors and people of color who are being negatively effected by the rampant racism

But on the other hand, I don’t really want more of the bury your gays even if its your best selling point, “lightsabers are phallic” (yknow the religious symbol of a Jedi’s life), Sith are sexy show and its straight up bad writing

Can’t wait until we get space flashpoint and all the Disney Star Wars content gets turned into apocrypha just like Legends

Luke might be a farmboy, but he’s a farmboy from Tatooine who spent his free time doing stunts in a tricked out legally-not-a-military fighter and shooting rats longer than he is tall.

He’s more prepared for his future career (Rebel Jedi pilot) than a lot of people today are.

Rewatching A New Hope and guys. Guys.

We have all fallen for Han's propaganda.

Look, Han might think he's a suave, smooth-talking pilot-slash-smuggler who can outsmart a whole ship of Imperials, and that Luke's a naive little farmboy who's never seen hyperspace before, but honestly?

The whole time on the Death Star, it was Luke calling the shots. Luke bluffed an officer into thinking he was a stormtrooper with a bad comm unit; Han started shooting as soon as the door was open. Luke spent about 2 seconds on the altruistic argument - "but they'll kill her!" - before figuring out Han's angle and swapping to the argument that would win. Luke pulled out a cell block number as soon as the guard asked; Han famously fumbled the first comm call.

We give Luke a bad rap for being an idealistic farm kid, but he's not stupid. He knows when he's being scammed, although he might be a bit loud about calling it out; he's ready for trouble and pretty on the ball with coming up with cover stories. He might expect the best of people - but you know what? It works! People want to live up to those expectations - so they do. Han comes back. His father turns from the Dark Side. People listen.

Han might think he's an idiot, but when you look at everything Han gets up to himself...
