Hey man, you’re already off to good start. You’re putting actual effort into your work, which is more than Bob does.

Just keep at it.

but he works so damn hard!*

I could never muster the interest to watch the Harley Quinn show.

I just don't give a shit about Harley Quinn in general. Especially this pseudo-Deadpool take on her they've been doing the last several years.

And every clip of the show I've seen just comes off like a Robot Chicken sketch.

It's just a thing you do when you've run out of actual things to do with a popular character. Deadpool was pretty much a one-note edgy 90s anti-hero (and design ripoff of Deathstroke) so someone decided to make him an obnoxious 4th-wall breaking comedian. Which itself is a ripoff of She-Hulk.

If they actually wanted to give Harley a satisfying character arc they'd have her trying to adjust to life in normal non-criminal society and actually dealing with escaping an abusive relationship. There's probably a lot of interesting things a writer could say about a felon trying to re-enter normal society but nope, what we get is LOLSORANDOM LESBUNS MENTAL ILLNESS IS COOL , YAAS.

Modern day Harley Quinn is a cash in on both the character's popularity in BTAS and the fact that they've calculated her to appeal to the average Twitter/Tumblr Becky that thinks being "quirky" and "random" is a personality.

I'll never have the eloquence to match George Costanza's insight so I'll let the man say it himself:
View attachment 2261057

The fact that he refers to himself as eye rolling intensifies a "Masshole" only shows that he revels in his nature and believes it to be in some way endearing so he will say that he is trying to eye rolling at maximum rolling DO BETTER he is not trying, will never try, and believes himself to be perfect just the way he is under his protestations.

It's probably due to oversaturation, but there's really nothing superhero related now that I give a shit about.

Even shows that I keep hearing are amazing, like The Boys, and Invincible.

I don't wanna watch them. I do.not.care.

To be honest, I get by watching clips and synopses on YouTube so I don't have to watch the shows in their entirety.

It's probably over saturation, but I think that I'm done simply passively consuming content, which is the reason for Bob's entire existence right now.

Also, Ambush Bug.

Haven't seen the show being discussed. I've got too much video as it is.

I've been dealing with my frustrations at the current media landscape by retreating into older stuff.

I've recently finished watching Star Trek: The Original Series for the first time, and its probably a more rewarding experience than checking out Loki.

Although even Star Trek is currently being exploited because these streaming services need content, damnit!

I've been working through TNG. It's just so refreshing to see characters fairly consistently written from episode to episode, drama and obstacles to be overcome that make sense in the context of the show without becoming unnecessarily grimdark, and a complete absence of snark

im watching miami vice for the first time. there is no chance any capeshit will be cooler than that

Yes, I'm tired of snark and self-referential humor most of all.

I also appreciate how older things that were a part of a franchise still felt like their own unique thing, and not also partially a commercial for the next installment.

Bathos.

• An abrupt, presumably unintended juxtaposition of the exalted and the commonplace, producing a ludicrous effect.
• An anticlimax.

I was watching Terminator 3 the other day, and it's hard to believe it came out almost 20 years ago, because there's so much bad self-referential comic relief in it.

It feels very now.

[Captain Marvelous]

If someone had the technology to rewrite your DNA, rewire your brain, or digitalize your consciousness, wouldn't you be worried about him installing a rootkit / trojan in your mind, so he can rewrite your mind at leisure without you even having the slightest clue? Your self will slowly be stripped away, until you become a mindless drone at the service of the Ideology du jour -- and you have no way of knowing, much less resisting it.

(Aside: I am reading Rowan Williams's Being Disciples: Essentials of the Christian Life. Williams gives an absolutely brilliant, modern and topical analysis on the Christian concepts of Faith, Hope and Love. He thinks Hope is rooted in our memories and our intact sense of self. Much has been made about the fragmentation of selves in the modern era: people feel a mismatch between their memories and their present selves, and -- here's Williams's brilliant insight -- if the past feels somehow irrelevant and alien, how can one hold out hope for the future? It is only through the belief that God carries our histories in His hand, that He sees us as coherent selves even when we can't see ourselves thus, can we restore our hope. There are pathological conditions, such as stroke, that erode our memories and sense of selves, and devastating despair is indeed common. I predict Transhumanists' fucking around with the human consciousness will engender a pandemic of despair. A Superior Future that stripes people of hope -- hope for the future itself -- cannot remain superior for long. Transhumanism is doomed to be self-defeating in more than one sense: it defeats the human sense of self, and it defeats its own self.)

I'm pretty sure that was what a storyline in one season of Power Rangers was like, someone being turned into a cyborg and slowly losing his humanity and risking becoming a mindless drone for the villains. Interestingly, that season was about a Skynet-esque computer virus wiping out all of humanity except for one city, so Bob would probably hate that like he hates The Terminator.

I could never muster the interest to watch the Harley Quinn show.

It's pretty boring. It goes for all of the obvious jokes like the Joker being anti-feminist (actually saying "women aren't funny" in the pilot), making the Penguin Jewish, turning Clayface and King Shark into dorks to make Harley look better by comparison, and being extremely violent for the sake of shock value.

I'm surprised Bob even likes it given the titular character is voiced by Kaley Cuoco. Bob does hate The Big Bang Theory, right?

If they actually wanted to give Harley a satisfying character arc they'd have her trying to adjust to life in normal non-criminal society and actually dealing with escaping an abusive relationship.

Wasn't there an episode of the 90's animated series where Harley tried to adjust to society after getting out of prison bit ultimately snapped back to her old ways?

But how interesting would it be to see Harley escape her abusive relationship and become a hero who makes people laugh in an inversion of the Joker causing chaos to make himself laugh?

The only thing I liked about that movie was the deleted scene with Sargent Candy.

 

[The Valeyard]

No Bob, you fucking moron. The executives don't want to show Batman having sex because the last time it happened there was a backlash to it.

It had more to do with it being messed up that Batman would fuck his friend's teenage daughter than a belief that he should be chaste, but it wouldn't be the first time that someone from Warner Bros. took away the wrong lesson from one of their screw ups.

 

[ChampFantana]

Bob chipman talking about sex Is fucking disgusting

I disagree, I think it's unintentionally funnier than anything to come out of Hollywood in 15 years.

You can tell he's never gotten laid just by how he writes about sex. All of his anecdotes have that "My Canadian Girlfriend" vibe to them.

We all remember his "Judy Blume Scored Me a Threesome in High School" bullshit, but one look at his HS era photos proves he is utterly full of shit.

Bobert the Stupid of House Imbecile is a virgin and always will be.

Been rewatching SG-1 recently. I miss shows like that, with a grasp of their own continuity but without needing to try and serialze one giant sprawling story. Does anyone outside Black Mirror even do self-contained episodes anymore?

At least T3 had the balls to go "rocks nukes fall, everyone dies. No takebacks, no get out of jail free cards, no bullshit." You'd never get something as final as that today.

 

[Grumpy Pickle Rick]

So yeah, Bob wants to gas the normies. Fucking called it.

What is Bob’s problem with normies? In fact, why do sjws, nerds and other losers hate normal people in general?

 

[EnemyStand]

What is Bob’s problem with normies? In fact, why do sjws, nerds and other losers hate normal people in general?

Well, when it comes to nerds specifically (real ones, not fake ones like Blob the Stupid of House Fat) it's envy. Sure, nerds may be smarter than the normies, but what do normies do? Have parties, date, stay in shape...all just by doing basic normie things and having normie hobbies. It seems so effortless, so of course the nerdy doughboy who has sedentary hobbies bashes them for being dumb sheeple who doesn't like the things they like,

Or that's how it used to be and now all the nerd shit is going mainstream and is being taken over by tards who have no respect for the hobbies.
