It didn't happen from the jump, but Batman villains have developed these larger, almost operatic tragic stories around themselves that can hold up without Batman. Spider-Man villains are a lot of fun, but still mostly cackling mad scientists in it for the love of the game.
I will say this: Batman villains do lend themselves better to stand-alone Batman-free stories than Spider-Man villains do.
Us skittering across this uncertain world
Down the Rabbit Hole is now on Nebula, which means there's now fucking Chris Chan drama videos on Nebula. el oh fucking el.
we all know I have no life, so:
Just when you think you finally have a grasp on all the weird ass movies out there, you learn there's a Rob Lowe/Jodie Foster incest movie from the 80s and you're back to square one.
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
Alrighty, that's enough for now. Thanks folks!
Haven't gotten to it yet.

The next two huge years would be 1996 (Herb Scannell becomes president, Blue's Clues, Hey Arnold) and 1999 (20th anniversary, SpongeBob, GaS, Noggin).

Well, if there ever is, I hope they let me know. I encourage that kind of thing, I claim no ownership on the "show-by-show retrospective" concept.

Number of movies I've seen has to be in the tens of thousands at this point. Most niche? I dunno what counts there, but I did watch a movie the other day about the final battle of the Russian Civil War with an all trans man cast. Maggots and Men. It was pretty good!

That is probably something you can write a college thesis on, and something I woefully unqualified to answer off the cuff. I would guess it comes down to the conservative Christian policy makers deciding public morality.

The most scared I've been with a movie was when I watched Alien on VHS at the age of six or seven, when my parents weren't around.

Pretty much anything Nick shunted over to Nicktoons before it was done. The disrespect of it :/

The Danger Mouse reboot from 2015. Both because of the history, and also because Nickelodeon could do with importing more shows.

Not sure how to quantify that. How early is early? What makes a gem unexpected? I dunno, I guess Matt & Jenny was a decent watch.

Alright, taking a break from work, a short AMA to keep me company?
working from home
I'm probably suffering in the metrics for not having flashy titles like "Curious George's Dark Past!" or "You'll Never Believe Inspector Gadget's Secret Origins!", but I really, really, REALLY don't want to be that kind of channel.
Alas, with my income, I can only afford to live in Bottle Cap.
User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?
Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.
