Is cool at least Katara trained 2 different Avatars in water bending

Despite being able to do stuff like have President Karl Marx Victoria is probably the most sober Paradox games. There aren’t really wacky out there paths like in EUIV or especially HOI

And yes, the military stuff sucks and so does diplomacy after all these years they’re still not fixed.

But boring? Every game if you play it like what it is, an economic and Political sim, than there’s basically never a dull moment. You’re always fighting through political reforms, keeping militancy low while also not going bankrupt trying to industrialize, especially important if you aren’t a westernized nation.

It’s not for everyone and isn’t perfect, but genuinely if after 3+ years you’re still complaining it’s boring, maybe you should just move on and stop complaining that the Waffle House won’t serve you lobster.

Yes I know it’s cynical and it’s not good they’re rehashing shows from our childhood and they should be making new things for new generations.

But also if they’re making it for me I can’t help myself from being excited. I always loved the simple slice of life episodes of Adventure Time, and turning the clock back to before things got serious I think gives them opportunities for stories they didn’t have before, or at least seeing more of them.

Like I wanna see them eat Meat Man, and Finn to swallow a tiny computer, and see Donny and Mannish Man the Minotaur and a bunch of other one of characters we never saw again. Maybe even more time of Marcy and PB being bitter exes which was also fun in hindsight.

Yeah this kind of nostalgia isn’t really healthy, but if we’re getting it regardless I wanna at least give it a chance.

Allende regime had issues that didn’t involve the fact they didn’t kill all their Allie’s

There is no more soul crushing leftist experience than getting really into the works of an early 20th century leftist writer and thinker and seeing their writings end in 1937-1938

The problem with stuffing 20 episodes into 8 while still having roughly comparable time, I don’t mind that the Fortune Teller, or The Deserter, or stuff had to be cut or squeezed into one episode. is a lot had to be truncated to fit, and I think Into The Dark suffers the most from this.

It’s basically only having to adapt 2 episodes, the King of Omashu, while Sokka and Katara do the Cave of Two Lovers, but because of everything they still needed to cover they rob these events of why they existed.

Bumi locks Aang up, he has the rock candy, he fights Aang, all of these were in the original but the reason they were important is lost. The point of Bumi’s trials was to teach Aang to think like a mad genius. To solve problems in unconventional ways. Which kinda is really important for Aangs arc. But it’s lost and feels more like just fan service, like with the Flopsie statues, “hey remember that thing from the cartoon, yeah we do too.” That they have them but they don’t understand why they mattered

The actor is great and he had some great line delivery with the classic “lettuce leaf” but they still change his character to be a gruff veteran which makes sense in context, but loses his importance to the story. That characters aren’t people, they’re there to further the story or convey a message. This Bumi is telling Aang to toughen up and take his job more seriously? Something multiple characters have already told him from the Kyoshi Island leader to Kyoshi herself. Bumi exists to show Aang to think differently if he wants to be an Earthbender, that being an Earthbender means being firm like a rock, but also sometimes doing nothing like a rock, until the day it starts barreling down a mountain.

I had the same thought when Hummer guy from Hell Comes to Quahog became a massive meme. People are ignoring all the other great bits.

Like the news report on the Super Devil, the Griffins beings saved by Gilbert Godfried who’s just a horse for some reason and no one questions it. And this is my favorite part where Meg and Chris are going through George Bushes house and you can FEEL the unadulterated hatred they had for him, in 2007 in particular but really the show always went hard on him.

Why I always feel crazy when people say the show became liberal or woke after Trump. Like this whole segment his him being a coke fiend who’s wife’s “been scraped more times than a fisherman’s knuckles.”

The dude repeats ALOT of tankie talking points, like Hamas actually not being that bad you guys, Ukraine attacking Russians. Standard stupid stuff like that.

But A. Anyone who spends all day every day talking about politics will inevitably say stupid shit because they’re not really researching they’re reacting. And B. He’s a fucking podcaster, so what some politicians have been on his show, he’s not on the same level Kirk had because Hasan genuinely doesn’t have institute support.

And of course all this while we’re in an illegal war with Iran, oil prices are spiking, the voting rights act has been severely weakened, and the fascists who control the country still try to hide the fact they’re also pedophiles.

Hasan freaking Piker should not be on anyone’s radar during times like these.

It had a better MCU Spider-man story than all the pre NWH ones.

Scott Lang considers his hero days done despite still being fairly young he runs his brand like he’s a retired actor who goes on tour and gives speeches and book tours. But Cassie (the best) is trying to show him that you can’t just stop being a hero because people will always need help. And putting your head in the sand because you just don’t want to deal with it is kinda selfish.

Yeah, maybe it’s unfair and it’s hard to constantly have to save people who you don’t know and want nothing to do with, but with great power comes great responsibility. It’s paralleled in Janet’s story where she basically did the exact same thing Scott did, she moved on, she knew people still needed her help but wanted to just live her comfortable peaceful life, when a lot of the people in the microverse didn’t have that same luxury.

And the fact Scott with his entire family, an army of hyper intelligent ants, and thousands of freedom fighters, was only just barely able to stop this Kang I don’t think made him look weak, I think people just underestimate Ant-man in general. And Marvel really didn’t need to write Kang off off screen because they didn’t want to work with Jonathon Majors anymore. I really blame the messiness of the impact of the movie on the studio and not on anyone involved in this movie.

You can not like the writing or the CGI (though I was always in favor of MODOK looking goofy like he’s supposed to.) It’s a movie not everyone will like the same thing. but the way I see people act like it single handedly killed the MCU when it’s still doing fine I always thought was weird. Like it has no redeeming qualities at all.

You can disagree with her, but her politics are 100% about winning and getting achievable goals that will help people right now. Not hypothetical perfect conditions that would never come about in the systems we (people in the English speaking world) live in.

When she’s not doing philosophy or media analysis the political activism she participates in is always with the goal of being at the winners table at Versailles. You can be revolted having to share a table with Woodrow Wilson and David Lloyd George, as you should, but boycotting the peace and not recognizing it as legitimate will mean they’ll just do it without you and there won’t be anyone promoting your causes.
