r/MauLer

Just catching up on Mauler's stream from last night and I have questions...

1. How did this get made? (I hope it cost nothing to make otherwise it was a waste).
2. What type of "game" was this supposed to be? I use the word game very loosely.
3. How was Mauler's stream over 7 hours long? It seemed like there was nothing to do in this thing.

One thing is for sure, Mauler and chat manages to make even the worst games entertaining!

Season 5, episode 16 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer explores one of the scariest enemies of the show and it’s one that is entirely unrelated to the paranormal. The rapid, unexpected, brutal, and unstoppable breakdown of our natural bodies especially in relation to those closest to us.

To offer such a visceral display of grief and for it to be featured in the episode which contains (barely) any actual action is perfect. Sound design is excellent and the skewed and more artistic cinematography represented in this episode is a serious gift.

I love how the Scooby gang all have different reactions to the death. They all represent different aspects of grief: Who to blame, how to try and understand, how to console, how to operate, and how will anything ever be the same.

As a first time Buffy/Angel viewer, I am extremely impressed and surprised at how cogent and blunt Whedon and the writing team managed to be. The Body was able to elicit past feelings I thought that I’d buried as well as (unfortunately) create new fears about a very, very sad moment in my potential future. This is a one-of-a-kind piece of art and one of the greatest hours of tv I’ve ever seen.

They covered the 2nd season, but not the 3rd or 4th. The 5th is exceptionally incompetent in every aspect of storytelling; it should be studied in detail.

Like, I cannot put into words how it fails every aspect of storytelling. Like, it is not only thematically messy but also can't get anything literally right. It is one thing to make all your characters horrible, but the show doesn't treatment eqaully. Like the show thinks Startlight is awesome, even though she is hypocritical, manipulative, and self-righteous. Meanwhile, the show keeps torturing the Deep because the writers really hate him.

Another thing is the structure of the show; they spend 6/8 episodes of the season searching for a MacGuffin, only for it not to matter and find another solution in the remaining two episodes.

The level of zigzagging is also fucking insane. Like SoldierBoy betrays Homelander like 3 times within this season, and Homelander forgives him in the same episode. Their relationship doesn't change despite the show treating it as the emotional core of the season.

Much like the 8th season of GoT it also feels like it is just missing scenes. Like one episode ends with Starlight having a panic attack over Hughie almost dying, and abandoning the Boys during the middle of the mission, and spending the next episode with her father. She is then shown returning next episode, but the panic attack and her abandoning her team are not addressed.

I could be wrong but I could’ve sworn there was going to be a Buffy stream, instead MauLer is streaming mixtape. I know why they aren’t doing a Buffy stream, because there is no way MauLer is going to do another stream after doing Mixtape and not being tierd and he also has Open bar tomorrow and work on other projects. I am just posting this to when MauLer said that he would’ it do a Buffy stream or there is something I’m missing

Talking about the new Star Wars movie. Holy fucking shit was it so bad. Mainly cuz it literally felt like a video game movie. Mando literally going to a person, that person sends him somewhere, he gets in a fight and then that person says wait and gives him the next quest.

literally multiple scenes with the same fucking dialogue, jabba jr in a nutshell is “I lived in my futha shadow and now I’m my own man”

Mando meeting sigourny weaver and her saying “welp mando ya made a mess but got the job done here’s your money”. And yeh I guees hutt is also part of the republic now lmao. Where the fuck was he in the sequel trilogy?

Now of course we get to that little green shit named Grogu. Like always the lil fucker doesn’t actually fucking speak and just makes baby noise, acts like a baby and is a literal stupid fucking baby. I don’t NEED a damn baby as a deuprotaganist. People literally call it a baby in the movie. And the worst thing is you get mainly grogu screen time for like 20-30 min Jesus fucking Christ.

Like it literally felt like this movie was about nothing except idk Mando doing some quest shit. I guees it’s about sometimes the young protecting the old? Idk tbh.

So yeh don’t watch it a waste of time and of course I had to watch Mario to on top of it after. Not as bad as Mando movie but still.

Anyways this is all I got, I could write more but I might as well make a video at that point.

You have the supe virus they've not only been setting up in season , but also in season 1 of gen v that never winds up being a factor in the end. Then you got soldier boy flip flopping back and forth on whether or not he hates homelander. Oh, and you also have two supes sniffing each other's butts in the second to last episode for loke you minutes, among many other things. 7 years of setup for what feels like a rushed last episode

Someone just pointed it out on facebook and this isn't to dismiss anything that Homelander does or attempts to do during the run time of the series and especially the final season.

By the single punch to the pipeline:

• Intentionally or not causes the genocide of an ecosystem
• He accidentallygets Deep killed because of above
• Causes a lot of public unrest due to both the effects on oil prices and environment damage.
• Puts a PR disaster on both Vought & The Goverment's lap as both signed off that won't just go away once he died.

And aside from that due to his connection with Sage during season 4: It's very possible him choosing to side with Homelander caused her to wish to leave in the final season, allowing her to do everything she ends up doing to help the boys. That last part comes from the fact she didn't want to lobotomy herself around him, suggesting if he showed openness to being aligned with her they'd potentially been a third prong in the Homelander V Boys Conflict. .

But regardless, it's humorous to think in the end it was the guy who was pissed his opportunity to complete a life goal was ruined, that he ended up causing more damage then the whiny baby with a god complex. Mainly because, I don't think that was intentional and that makes it funnier.

Right so to fill in the 200 word requirement I’ll list some notable Iseaki.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: what you get recommend if you’re a real bookworm

The Greatest Estate Developer: absolute water

Konosuba: the definitive parody of the genre

Mushoku Tensei: the discourse around Rudeus as a character should be enough to perpetually provide Tokyo with energy

My Instant Death Ability Is So Owerpowered: Main character Yogiri gets clowned on by powerscalers

Overlord: good early start which devolved into a fine mess

Re:Zero: committed to the fact that dying when you respawn would be incredibly painful

SAO: yes it is a digital world but it still counts

Spirited Away: yes an incredibly old one that is closer to Alice in Wonderland than the modern breed of “portal fantasy”. However it still shows how a main character can go from the normal world to the fantastical.

Synopsis/recap: The Godfather is a story about a son taking over his father’s business. The end.

“Pretend you wanted it”: can’t you now enjoy all of the onscreen action?

Surrounding topics: Did you know that they recasted the lead of Back to the Future in the middle of filming? Oh and the creators have decided that there won’t be any other movies after the third. Though there is actually a telltale game where…

[Insert emotion]: I have never been laughed louder than when I watched Looney Tunes the Day the Earth Blew Up. Truly this is a modern classic that everybody should watch

Refuse to elaborate: 2001 A Space Odyssey could not be made today for obvious reasons. It is truly the best sci-Fi movie of all time

I saw the trailer for this and thought it might be worth checking out. Probably more worth my time than that other farm animal movie. Has anyone seen it; any recommendations to go sit down and watch it?
