100 hours on Iron Man and I never knew his unibeam pierces.

I checked the Marvel Rivals website and it doesn't anything about it. Small detail but changes how I play him sometimes. I can stand with or behind my team on the X axis and pierce the entire enemy team if I need to if there's a brawl.

Mating Season is the actual adult cartoon you're looking for.

Netflix came out with another adult cartoon recently. Looking at it, you think it's another Family Guy rip off. It's from the creators of Big Mouth. I dropped Big Mouth on episode 1. I have no interest in watching a show about kids going through puberty. So I thought Mating Season would be the furry version of it.

I tried the first episode of Mating Season and ended watching the whole thing in one sitting. Why? Because it's actually funny. Why? Because it deals with real adult problems about relationships and sexuality. There is nothing here for kids to relate to.

Kids can watch Family Guy and laugh at the dumb jokes. But in Mating Season, there are real themes of relationship issues. You got jealousy issues, gays being catty to each other, parental-abuse issues, infidelity, heartbreak, polygamy, young women dating older men.... these are all issues no kid can possibly relate to. There's even continuity, that's how low my expectations were. Things will be set up in episode 2 and pay off in episode 6. And anytime there's multi-episode set up and pay off, that's a sign of being thoughtfully written.

While there's plenty of animal jokes and puns, you kinda forget you're watching a show about animals because the adult relationship issues are so prominent. It also helps the animal designs are quite bland. No Disney Zootopia designs here. And don't get me wrong. This show is full of raunchy, juvenile sex jokes. But unlike other shows with raunchy, juvenile sex jokes, I never felt like it's all the show had to offer. After finishing Mating Season, I ended up really liking all the characters. I even re-watched it with someone who also had zero interest in this and even they ended up liking it.

You can't have both an episode-of-the-week show and have serious character development.

I know everyone salivates over the serious character development episodes like Rick flashbacks or fighting Rick Prime. Yeah, I love them, too. Everyone does. But not every fucking episode can be like that. Otherwise, the show would burn out and run out of material. You can't have the characters going through the same arcs again and again. And the characters can't just grow infinitely because we would lose what we like about them in the first place. If Jerry became Jerry Prime, we would lose the loser Jerry that's a great foil to the rest of the family and great catalyst for episodes like the Hellraiser episode.

An example is Conan The Detective anime. A thousand episodes. Very, very, very little character development. Almost no seasonal arcs. But it's a Scooby Doo mystery of the week TV show.

I like that Ricky And Morty is a weird scifi adventure-of-the-week show. I want to see new weird alien shit every week. I want to see what crazy concepts they try to make a story out of. Is all of it gonna stick? Hell no, they've had dogwater episodes (like the Numbericon episodes, holy shit I literally never finished it).

I do not give a shit about the acting in movies. Praising acting is so cringe.

I'm watching or reading reviews of Disclosure Day and it's all "Emily Blunt is so good in this". And I just don't give a shit. Why? Because most actors in Hollywood are perfectly suitable. It's a job you can learn to be good at like literally anything else. It's not a divine talent bestowed by God.

Why do I think most actors are fine? Because the only actors you know about are the ones that got lucky enough to be A-listers. For every A-list actor, there's 1,000 other nameless actors just as good that never got a break.

What's even more cringe is when people praise an actor when they clearly have a lead role. Whoa, you're telling me this actor is showing how good they are when they have most of the screen time? No way, dude. I'm sorry but actors can't write themselves more lines to prove their chops.

This fucking guy with one line in the background in The Dark Knight? Probably think he's some schmuck that does commercials? Guess what. He's a great actor in an indie movie.

And before anyone says it, no fucking shit, yes, bad acting does exist. Bad acting can bring down a movie. But for the most part, most actors can do their job just fine. Look at the girl from Obsession. Didn't do much but now she's the face of the best horror movie of the year because she got lucky enough to be the lead of a very well made movie.

46% of people hold negative views against AI. Is there any other technology in history with similar rates?

Is there another technology in history with similar negative sentiment? And actually cite your source and not just say "Luddites" or "Socrates hated writing". Like actual numbers. You can find anti examples of anything. You can find examples of people hating Dungeons And Dragons but it doesn't mean it was the majority sentiment.

While I do like Mario Kart, I'm looking for something less Nintendo. Maybe with real life cars. Something to scratch that Mario Kart itch but with a different aesthetic. I'm not looking for a racing simulator like Gran Tourismo. Thanks.
