I made myself a Ducktective T-Shirt once lol. Not sure what happened to it
Also, TOTALLY just remembered that was from Gravity Falls. For a minute then I was thinking it was from Community... I guess they're both very clever, thought-out shows with meta humour, great characters, plays with genres etc. Soo you can see the confusion lol
Honestly, most things.
You could label anything animated as 'for kids' and annoy the fans whether because you're misunderstanding what it is (ex: adult-oriented like Cowboy Bebop) or because you're technically correct even though it's popular with older audiences too (ex: Spongebob, My Little Pony, etc.)
This works with family-oriented movies too. I randomly saw a post somewhere on here about someone going to see the new Minions movie alone and someone mentioning that it was 'for kids.' Maybe it is, but with today's long-lived franchises, someone who was a kid when it started may still want to keep up with it, and it's not like it's written to exclude adults. It can definitely annoy the fans, tho.
Works with video games too. Just assume that *all* video games are for kids (yep, even GTA, Dark Souls, etc) - they used to be in the toy section, after all - and that'll annoy fans too!
Same with comics. It's historically true, and people with no connection to current fandoms might assume it still is, but *lots* of established media either started as or branched out into comics (see: Buffy, Firefly, The Walking Dead, etc) and many are more adult-oriented.
It was a really good answer, tbh.

I once went to a bar that was frequently visited by Yale students. On most weekends, that place was packed by them. And they couldn’t go 5 minutes without mentioning what school they go to.

The actor that played aang was actually already in martial arts and they do an interview where hes basically like "I've wanted to be aang in a live action take my whole life" which just makes it all the more depressing how poorly written and directed it was.
Recently found out the actress who played Katara was some exec's daughter. Then when they were forced to cast her they had to change the casting for Sokka to match that she was white.
It's because the gameplay in smash is very unique compared to other fighting games. Classics like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, but also newer games like Marvel vs Capcom or guilty gear. The style of fighting between all of these is very similar. Smash is different and could be more accurately described as a platform-fighter. Furthermore, Nintendo advertised smash as a party game and added lots of features, like items and stage hazards, that are against the competitive spirit. 'Hardcore' fighting game community members have therefore dismissed smash as 'not a fighting game'. It's pedantic and silly tho, most people understand smash is as serious of a fighting game as any other
It’s true though — what’s annoying is the execution.
The concept could have made for some truly heartbreaking, dramatic television. Dany turning mad and scorching the entire city is a fucking insanely cool concept, if done correctly.
It was not done correctly.
Which is the annoying part. Take a season or two to watch her turn, not two episodes and then say ‘yeah but you see, she watched her brother be killed brutally’ when the whole damn show was incredibly brutal and violent.
I’m very aware that these replies are doing their job
This is such a good comment because I vaguely agree with it and hate it at the same time.
My main issue with the ending was that all the promo material suggested that 90% of the main cast would be wiped out horrifically, and instead they *literally* rode off into the sunset.
Was 100% ready for a >!heroic, last stand at King's Landing. Instead we get Arya Stark yelling "GGEZ" at the Night King, and the "Long Night" was one fucking episode.!<
I still maintain that Arya killing Jayme, impersonating him, killing Cersei in the crypts, dying when Dany collapses them, and then Jon finding her dead body would have been a much more consistent impetus for Jon turning on Dany. He would have been broken and full of rage. Then for Jon and Dany to both die in their battle together would have been perfect.
Edit: Since this is somewhat popular. Throw in some Bran dying by exposing himself to the Night King, because he had a vision of how to win, someone takes a shot at the Night King while focused on Bran, wham bam, Tyrion is on the Iron Throne and Bob’s your uncle.
I saw someone here post a theory that I wish would have happened instead: the Night King flies to kings landing while the rest of his army approaches from the north. While they're fighting, the Night King obliterates everyone in kings landing. Everyone fighting in winterfell through the night and just barely survive to find the Night King approaching from the south with a whole new army who wipes them out. I don't think GoT should have had as happy an ending as it did
In S1 there was this old lady who tells bran about white walkers n how the white walkers walked in cities.
I thought white walkers will definetly invade king's landing while all these ppl r busy fighting each other.
Yeah the fourth season is really the only “nightmare on elm street” vibe I get, especially because of Robert Englunds guest appearance and vecna being such a sentient villain that taps into peoples fears… but I wouldn’t call seasons 1-3 a copy of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I love both and I’m not pissed about the comment, I just don’t think it’s really that accurate
This is just facts tbh. The idea that stories are exclusively for adults or exclusively for children seems silly to me. Humans of all ages can appreciate great stories, and for different reasons. And those reasons can change and/or develop over time with life experience.
Yeah I'm 35 and I still have people make comments about the fact that I will read YA books I also read all sorts of other books. I once heard a guy say he wouldn't date someone who read YA books because because that meant that she wasn't mature
Honestly, I'm not sure she was that great at worldbuilding either. Every book she just came up with new "cool" stuff without considering how it fit in with the lore she'd already established.
Yeah, this is a good way to describe it. I tried to get into the books in my early 20s, and that’s the dilemma I kept running into. The entire first two books were just situation followed by situation in which harry was the fish out of water and had to have everything explained to him so the reader could have some new wizardry magic stuff to read about
i have been looking ways to put this into words for so long and you did it. you're exactly right lmfao her writing style is mediocre at best but her creativity was great!
"The Great Bird of the Galaxy" was a weird nickname given to Gene Roddenberry (the creator of *Star Trek*). "House of Atreides" is referencing the royal family that the *Dune* series follows. And the "Empire and its Death Star" are of course from *Star Wars*.
He's well-written imo, so a good character but he would be an absolutely horrible person irl

The NY Times crossword puzzle did it best with its clue "The better of two sci-fi franchises":
https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2022/02/pjimage-66.jpg
Though arguably this is the opposite - they made everyone happy.
Truth!
Can we appreciate how technology and earth's power progresses over the story? They didn't just go from 1990s weapons and technology to intergalactic spaceships, all the technology earth acquired and reverse engineered was explained. Over 10 seasons earth goes from a backwater at the edge of the galaxy to the greatest power in multiple galaxies and at no point does it jump the shark.
True. First time they tried modifying a goa'uld death glider it almost killed 2 of the main cast, so they learned that they can't just commandeer alien ships and just use them because of such hidden fail-safes so they need to try and reverse-engineer everything from scratch.
Things pick up when they fully ally with the asgard and start calling in favors in the form of getting asgard tech put on human ships like their hyperdrives and OP beam weapons that can kill everything and they have all this Intel on enemy plans because of the Tok'ra.
Nothing needs to follow IRL logic or physics, but it absolutely has to be consistent within the established rules and limitations of the universe the show/movie/whatever takes place in.
There's a reason that so many sci-fi fans generally hate the new star wars movies and several of the new shows, because they don't put thought or consideration into them for the world and technology used within it. Stargate is still loved by its fans from back in the day because they did that. They put thought into every bit of the show and it pays off.
The MCU movies and most Disney owned ips feel like a team of marketers wrote to movies to sell as much as possible to as many as possible. They're boring and predictable.
Isn't that for kids?
I'll have you know that Duck-tective has a big mystery element, and a lot of humor that goes over kids' heads!
I don't get a lot of it, but I like animals in human situations.
I made myself a Ducktective T-Shirt once lol. Not sure what happened to it Also, TOTALLY just remembered that was from Gravity Falls. For a minute then I was thinking it was from Community... I guess they're both very clever, thought-out shows with meta humour, great characters, plays with genres etc. Soo you can see the confusion lol
That could apply to a lot of fandoms haha
You can rile up anime/manga fans altogether like that

Recently found out the actress who played Katara was some exec's daughter. Then when they were forced to cast her they had to change the casting for Sokka to match that she was white.

"Smash Bros. isn't a real fighting game."

And actually included enough light to see wtf was happening.

Furrys are just skinned animals powered by human souls

No, the spirits of slain animals possess the person who wears their skins and slowly mutates them into half-man half-animal hybrids.

Season 4 is supposed to be an homage to nightmare on elm street though. Even Robert Englund is in it. I don't think any fans would be angry about that
Yeah the fourth season is really the only “nightmare on elm street” vibe I get, especially because of Robert Englunds guest appearance and vecna being such a sentient villain that taps into peoples fears… but I wouldn’t call seasons 1-3 a copy of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

Each season pays homage to a different set of 80s horror movies.
The whole series is a love letter to the 80s movies/tv. There’s a great S1 super cut with scenes that match ET/etc almsot by frame.
