- Comment on If a TV series you loved from the 90s, 00s or even early 10s instead came out today - how different do you imagine it would be? How would the writing be different? Who would be casted instead? 4 hours ago:
Yeah I enjoyed that a lot, personally. I actually rewatched the entire old series first before I started this new one. And apart from needing to get used to one or two of the voices at first, X-Men '97 carried on with the same themes and vibes perfectly.

If Captain Planet or Power Rangers or the X-Men animated series or Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM or Xena Warrior Princess or Justice League Unlimited came out today, you’d have a bunch of rat faced and humanoid thumb looking YouTubers complaining about the woke agenda ruining their with diverse casts, girl power and ecological consciousness.

Some anti-vaxx, conspiracy nut with a dead worm in his head that died eating part of his brain, who likes to do weird shit with roadkill. Aka the USA’s top healthcare guy.
- Comment on After getting Stardew Valley to 'a good place' with update 1.6, Eric Barone is now fully focused on his next game 1 week ago:
Haha I’ll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he’s gonna think “hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley” and start working on SV again.
Just FYI I’m not complaining or anything. I think it’s funny and relatable. But I’m not gonna hold my breath for this game until it’s actually out.

There are 5 in total now last I checked. Haven’t watched episode 4 and 5 yet myself though.
- Comment on As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form? 1 week ago:
I think that “woke” (as it used now by right wing mouth breathers) is a combination of “PC” and “satanic”. Because from what I remember in my childhood, “satanic” was the word of choice for right wingers to use when they didn’t like something. “PC” was used in an insulting way by certain people but it was far more popular at the time to just accuse anything they didn’t like of being devil worship.
“Woke” is the exact same shit as that. Just repackaged so that edgelord teenagers also think it’s cool to call everything “woke”. And instead of the devil, it’s the LGBTQ+ community, which is probably the same thing to them anyway. But it’s all spear headed by the same fucking people or types of people, along with their legion of useful idiots this time.
- Comment on The 10 Best Mini Series You Can Finish in a Weekend 1 week ago:
The Watchmen movie is a flawed masterpiece and a cult classic, despite Alan Moore (the original comic creator) disavowing it
Alan Moore disavowed it? Must be a day that ends in ‘y’. To be fair, it is a polarizing movie but also Alan Moore comes across as the kind of guy that would yell at Labrador puppies and kittens to get off his lawn. I bet he’s not fond of this (great) miniseries either.
I’ve watched some of these. Currently almost done with WandaVision and looking forward to getting to Agatha All Along. Thanks for the future watch list!

What is this woke liberal commie trash. Are you trying to summon a demon? Speak American!
- Comment on Knowing 'what's right and wrong', Virginia Giuffre refused to be silent 1 week ago:
Personally I’m not a fan of comparing misfortunes as a way to feel better or worse about your own but I also think it’s basically a cultural thing that people do without really meaning any harm and something that you can’t expect everyone to have really thought about and corrected.

Back with a couple more that I didn’t think of last time I was here (not a moderator of any of these). Both animation (not anime): !theowlhouse@lemmy.world, !shera@lemmy.blahaj.zone
There’s also !ghostintheshell@lemmy.world but it seems sadly dead. And !thecrow@lemmy.world which hasn’t had a post in 6 months and could include movies, series and comics.
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 2 weeks ago:
All caught up with the latest season of Ghosts (US version). Another 3 episodes to go including one tomorrow. I definitely hate the weekly format more when the episode is only 20 minutes long excluding ad breaks. Spoiler in case anyone plans to watch:
spoiler
I LOVE the new ghost, she’s awesome. But I’m guessing this means that someone is getting sucked off at the end of the season and leaving the show.
Also, wouldn’t mind checking out the UK version of this show, I just don’t know how close the stories are and don’t want spoilers.
- Comment on What is an example of an adaptation of a book where the TV series was better? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, what I was saying is definitely not a universal opinion. It’s just that Ennis’ work seems to be more for some than others. What I’ve seen people say is that they prefer it toned down a little bit, as adaptations tend to do. Wouldn’t mind taking a look at the comic and seeing for myself though.
- Comment on What is an example of an adaptation of a book where the TV series was better? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, the author, Garth Ennis, seems to be pretty polarizing in comic book fandom based on what I read on Reddit over the years. I haven’t actually read any of his work but from what I gather, being edgy the sake of being edgy is his thing.
Another series based on one of his books that people say is better than the source material is Preacher.

- Comment on 'Minecraft Movie' Envy Puts Gen Z Video Game Adaptations Front and Center 2 weeks ago:
Hollywood five years from now when they’ve milked this to death and have to try come up with original and creative ideas again: “Please save us! We’re in ruins!” And just like with the MCU, all of the people that were happy to cash out when these video game movies were at peak popularity will be blaming video game movies for being the death of cinema and art the moment one movie performs poorly.
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 2 weeks ago:
Haha that looks great, going to have to check it out. It’s a little disappointing to see that there’s no cyborgs in it though. On that note, I was also going to mention the movie Cyborg because there’s a director’s cut called Slinger that makes it clear that JVCD did miracle work salvaging it for the theatrical cut of Cyborg lol.
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 2 weeks ago:
Haha same here. I’m around 5’6 or 5’7 and I find depending on make, I’m either size 11 or 12 shoes. Also have pretty big hands (or long fingers at least). I’ve always thought of my hands and feet as big puppy paws that I never grew into lmao.
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 2 weeks ago:
Dunno if it counts but I’m a sucker for Jean Claude van Damme movies. And the only others I can think of off the top of my head are a couple of Albert Pyuun movies called Omega Doom and Knights, really bad sci-fi flicks. I actually need to save this thread for future watching material.
- Comment on The Sandman, season 2 (2025, showrunners Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer) 2 weeks ago:
Not sure that I’m even going to be able to watch this to be honest. I’m also pretty bummed about Dead Boy Detectives, which was cancelled pretty quickly after the news about Gaiman broke. But I battle to separate the art from the artist and even if Dead Boy Detectives had another season too, probably would’ve felt the same way I feel about watching this.
- Comment on What is Superman's "kryptonite"? 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like I’m going to have to get hold of this book. Both Superman and Lois are two of my all time favourites and this sounds great. I’m throw in another random fact. Pretty sure he only got his ability to fly during the running of the Fleischer cartoons. Originally he could “leap tall buildings in a single bound”. Then somewhere along the line in the cartoons, they just found it more convenient if he could actually fly to take on some threats.
- Comment on i can’t tell if this is edginess or mental illness? i hope she’s doing okay 2 weeks ago:
For what it’s worth, I was also blocked at a time in my saga. And might have even been the blocker once. I don’t think it’s the healthiest kind of relationship to have with someone lol. Especially with strong feelings involved. All that I can say worked in my situation was time apart and maybe a change in mindset since then too.
But I mean, sometimes people just suck too and are just bullies or bigots. And it’s admirable that you’re worried about her mental state here when you could probably still do with some healing yourself too. If it’s eating you up, I used to find that the best escape from this sort of spiralling out is to lose myself in a complicated RPG.

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that :( And I’m guessing my story here nudged you to reach out, I’m sorry. And that’s really shitty. How long ago was it that you last spoke?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Ah yeah, didn’t even think of that and I even saw a post come through my feed this morning from there. I tend to associate this kind of stuff more with hippies lol but maybe that’s a good place to ask too.

Ah, I was talking about the satanism connection here lol.

I don’t think I’ve really seen any communities around here dealing with anything metaphysical or whatever. Or this kind of spirituality.
You might possibly get a better reception in !witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca but that’s really the only community around here where I think people who have information or advice could possibly be lurking.

First time I’ve ever read of this interpretation and that’s super fucking cool.
- Comment on i can’t tell if this is edginess or mental illness? i hope she’s doing okay 3 weeks ago:
This reminds me of an online thing that I had going with someone that started in my late teens. Even the line about not having empathy was something that I remember, which I never bought. And talking about self harm, suicide, trouble distinguishing dreams from actual events etc. That was a wild ride. I eventually found out, when everything was crashing and burning, that a lot of stories and details of stories were made up too.
Funnily enough, after years of not talking, she’s probably one of my ‘best’ and longest running friends now lol. Someone that I can talk to about anything with (literally the only person I’ve ever discussed gender identity related shit with). I wasn’t born perfect either, and put her through just as much hell, so we’ve both seen and dealt with each other at our worst and lowest, which makes a good kind of shoulder to cry on if you can make it through the other side of that.
And in her case, it was part edginess and part mental health lol. Bipolar and being a teenager that wanted to fit in with the alternative scene and be dark and morbid and shit. Which I actually get to some extent too. When I was young I used to say that I’d be part of club 27 because I thought that a cool thing to say and imagine for myself. Until someone actually pointed out how fucked up it is to go around talking like that.
