Who are some characters in your fandom you wished got together but didn't?

Jimmy and Kara altho they still might end up together i got tired of them basically dancing around each other.

Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 362 seemed perfect together and much better than his actual gf Lizzie

Jaden and Alexis seemd good together and it seemed like she was gonna confess but backed out.

That one scene where all the budget went

Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Chika's dance

In the first season as a surprise outro ending one episode had this Chika dance number. It's super cute and crazy animated, especially her dress. They used it one time and never again.

The roller rink dance sequence from the Family Guy episode Hell Comes To Quahog was the most expensive scene to animate in Season 5.

[Interesting Trope] When a Joke Doesn't Translate Well Across Languages

South Park The Fractured But Whole where the title of the game sounds like "The Fractured Butthole" but its not a joke that translates well in other languages. So many localizations come up with their own clever crude puns to put in the title:

- The Spanish version of the game is titled South Park: Retaguardia en Peligro (literally South Park: Rear in Danger, but also an elaborate idiomatic phrase roughly translated as "(My) Ass is in Danger").

- In China, the name of the game is "南方公园:完整破碎", which is translated as "South Park: Completely Broken", while in Taiwan, the name is translated as "南方四賤客:菊部分裂", i.e "The Four Bad Customers from the South: Anal Fissure", and Hong Kong translated it as "衰仔樂園:浣熊俠聯盟", i.e "Naughty Boys' Paradise: The Raccoon League", being a pun of Justice League

- In Italy the title is South Park: Scontri Di-retti (literally translates as "straight-up fights", but the hyphen in the latter part suggests you can read it as "rectum fights").

In 100 Gfs Naddy's speech in the original Japanese consists of broken Gratuitous English with some Japanese peppered in however in both the scanlations and official English translations this is replaced with a thick Southern accent, which ties well with her cowgirl aesthetic.

The Most Hated Episodes by Fans

Lisa Goes Gaga an episode featuring Lady Gaga

Life of Brian was widely hated as a cheap ratings stunt where Brian is unexpectedly killed off by a car before being brought back just two episodes later. Fans felt manipulated and angry over the temporary shock value.

Stanley's Cup its polarized and heavily disliked for its aggressively bleak, depressing, and abrupt ending with the children being beaten up and the child with cancer dying.

What are some of the most hated episodes by fans of other shows?

How do you feel when people say america isnt diverse?

Ended up making a post recently about how people cant seem to understand how diverse America is and got a lot of hate for it. I cant stand people saying that america isnt diverse but I want to hear what people in this subreddit think.

[Unfortunate Trope] A piece of media with a "happy ending" that is actually incredibly depressing when you think about it for more than five minutes

50 First Dates (2004) Lucy still resets every single morning. Henry has essentially trapped her in a lifelong loop where she wakes up married to a stranger and with a daughter she doesn’t remember. The movie plays the final scene like a heartwarming victory. A lot of people walked out feeling like they’d just watched a very well-lit psychological horror film.

5 Centimeters per Second Director Makoto Shinkai has said the ending is meant to be uplifting — Takaki’s final smile shows he’s finally moved on. The majority of the audience just see a guy who never got the girl and is walking away alone.

The Truman Show is a perfect example. The movie ends on this massive, soaring high note as Truman takes a bow and steps through the door into the real world. But when you actually think about his future, it is terrifying. He is stepping into a world he knows absolutely nothing about, with zero real-life survival skills, where millions of strangers are unhealthily obsessed with him. It is a psychological tragedy disguised as a victory.

I hate this opinion so much

The opinion that non-americans have that america isnt a diverse place. I live in the sf bay area of California and incredibly diverse place in America with tons of different people of different backgrounds and ethnicities. I myself am a Filipino american with immigrant parents and have acquaintances from all kinds of ethnicities and backgrounds. Ive been to other places like Chicago, Florida, Seattle and Hawaii that also have diverse places.

Seeing an opinion like this annoys the hell out of me because its mainly people who just cant stand to see anything positive being said about america. Its also just the fact that people outside think that their views on what constitutes culture is more important than American views.
