There is a reason the Free World wept with France a few years back when Charlie Hebdo, known as a local rag iirc, published a comic featuring a likeness of Mohammed and was attacked. That is a collective voice silenced in the face of an oppressor. This can be likened to the picture of Tank Man being banned in China; a defiant man's stand for freedom led to death.

It just doesn't seem like a good idea for a big game dev studio to hand off the responsibility of remaking/remastering one of your greatest, genre-revolutionizing classics to some tiny unproven sub-studio. \n\nIt's also an equally bad idea to pull the originals off the market so that the newer, jankier, weirder-looking rerelease becomes the new official version of those games.", "So are you telling me that if I redownload the games I've purchased on Steam, it'll be this shitty edition?\n\nSurely that can't change a protect you've already purchased.\n\nEdit: product, not protect.", "At some point, people that \"owned\" the original PC versions on Steam got their original versions automatically overwritten by a mobile phone version that was ported back to PC, minus a lot of the iconic music.

Doesn't appear that anyone spent time on individual textures to make sure things came out looking good let alone make sense... just ran all the game files through that program, slap a new label on the game and then packaged it up for sale.\n\nThis is why mods look SOOO much better than the Definitive edition does... the mod makers actually spent time working individual textures. My theory was all but confirmed with the Tuff Nut Donut shop, they took the hexagonal Nut that was the sign and increased the poly count to make it a near perfect circle. You can see that the Nut on the left looks correct... so their auto-increase-poly-count program snagged that right Nut and did it's thing.

All this while you can still play or buy the original versions of the games as well.", "Like, I get it, man, and they botched this but come on. \n\nYou know damn well they are working on GTA VI and when it is finally released, people will say how grateful they are for Rockstar to perfect it and take their time. Same was said about RDR2. People are still finding details in that game that some dev spent hundreds of hours on for most people to not notice. \n\nReddit bashes ubisoft and ea for putting out these not polished pieces of shit but then hate on rockstar for taking their time on GTA VI. \n\nThis is a reskin POS by the mobile game developer that Rockstar just okayed. They are not going to put all their eggs in a basket to remake a PS2 game. \n\nTrust me, I understand that Rockstar milks the ever living shit out of GTA Online and people are upset over this shit bc it’s a “new” product.

GTA was by far my favorite video game series of all time, up there with Legend of Zelda and World of Warcraft (hugely different genres, I know, but this is what I grew up with).\n\nNow it seems like both Blizzard and Rockstar have fallen into the monetization trap and have stopped producing *good* original content like they used to.

Reuse the GTA4 map for it, use the GTA5 engine, mechanics, keep the voices, music, and just update the mission mechanics to make sense. See it for $60, and set it up so Liberty city can be accessed in GTO, then do the same for Vice City, and then SA. Include the old games as a bonus with some patching to work on modern systems.\n\nThe added content in GTO alone would probably raise enough revenue to fund the whole endeavor. Do one a year, and then end it with a GTA6 announcement that introduces a whole new area. I'd suggest maybe something set in a Texas/Mexico border type environment when you can cross between countries with a city on each side and each has different law enforcement rules.", "The 10 years of re-releasing Skyrim and the attempts to monetize the modding community look like the same kinds of stuff.", "Instead of suing modders, hire them.", "And then deleting the original masterpieces out of existence so no one in the future will even know how good they were.", "Yup, same thing happened with the recent Skyrim re-release. When they originally released the Special Edition, it was a separate Steam ID, so you could have both original and SE installed, and still use mods intended for pre-SE. This new \"Anniversary Edition\" isn't a separate Steam ID, it's a forced overwrite for all SE owners, which breaks a ton of modding functionality.", "I mean, this is why they did that. This is why they hate PC and modding so much. Modders are doing a better job than what they can do for free. There's a reason why they won't release their games for months to years on PC. Rather than fight it by being better they fight it by being the only option. I refuse to support companies that act so blatantly like that.", "How else can they say, \"It wasn't us!!!!\" when the soulless money grab ends up looking exactly like what it is. They throw Take-Two under the bus all the time when they start to get into hot water about suing everyone over mods.

GTA online is printing money, so it's not like they have a lack of time/resources/cash to develop GTA VI. \n\nTreating this trilogy like the redheaded step child is weird because Rockstar is a company that is all about profits. They aren't a person where you can rationalize they neglected one project because focus was on another. People tend to treat companies like they're singular individuals and it makes no sense. Rockstar wants to make money, there is no reason they would want the trilogy to be a garbage flop that no one purchases.", "The issue is that it's getting pretty hard or expensive to purchase old systems and games if you don't already have them on hand.

I'm here to have fun, not ogle the visuals.", "You can justify it however you want, but the truth is you got ripped off by Rockstar by spending $60. \n\nAlso, I think the main gripe everyone is having is that these games are extremely fun at their core, so why wouldn't they put in the time and effort to make them good. You're having fun despite the absolute garbage quality, but imagine if they did the remasters justice.", "100%, I can't believe they are charging 60 dollars, despite it being three games. \n\nMaybe it's just me, but whenever I go back to old games that I used to love (whether its just the original game or a remaster), they never live up to the hype in my head. Yeah, they are fun, but it's not the same.", "Cries in Pokemon 😩😭", "We used to own things.

The lack of care and respect is honestly shocking.\n\nRockstar was one of the last big AAA devs I still respected, but this has given their reputation a big hit in my eyes. It's also been nearly 10 years since the last mainline GTA title, and I've lost confidence it will be on the level of excellence we've become accustomed to. There have been a lot of leadership changes over the years and I suspect the Take Two suits responsible for this mess have likewise screwed up the leadership and vision of Rockstar proper.", "Would I enjoy a hot and fresh McDouble from McDonalds if it cost $60.

I mean, really great.", "Just checked my San Andreas and it's the original pc port.", "Mafia was a ground up remake. Nothing wrong with that. \n\nMass Effect? I've not played it so I can't really comment.", "Oh shit you're right about mafia. Remake is not remaster.", "I don't mind remakes. Most pale in comparison to the OG but at least there is some effort. \n\nPolishing up 20 year old graphics is not worth full price in my opinion", "I’m the monkey, and you’re the cheese grater, so no messing around", "I couldn't put my finger on what the art style reminded me off then it hit me - Simpsons Hit & Run", "Why would Rockstar outsource this? It makes absolutely no sense. What are they even doing over there? They release a video game...like what? Every 8 years? You're telling me a multi-billion-dollar game studio can't remaster its own games?", "Saving my money on this one", "Sata cable and $10 optical drive", "pirate", "that was remake", "well yea remake of 1 was great.

I just watched this!", "Just get an external USB DVD or blu-ray drive. Unhook when it's not in use, put up in a closet or cabinet until you need it next.", "I know what's POSSIBLE... no real need in an era of ISO files and downloadable games.\n\nPhysical media is dead to me.\n\nI own GTA 3, VC and SA on disc from back in the day, but I also have them on Steam or can get the ISOs online.", "I do use discs occasionally still (probably less than once a year at this point) but not enough to justify an optical drive in my computer, so the external USB was best bet. When it's not in use, I put it in a drawer. Takes up very little space and nice to have when I need it. Some of the games I play from time to time did eventually get a digital release on GOG but I figure if the disc still works, why not keep using it until it eventually goes caput?", "World of Warcraft is going on 17 years now. Its time is over, it’s amazing Blizzard has kept the life of that game going as long as it has. I enjoyed it for a good decade but you can feel how much it has aged when comparing it to something more modern.", "You could rip those discs to ISOs and save them to an external hard drive... but almost every game has an ISO floating around online, some even have great mods along with them to make installation even more streamlined. \n\nLike Star Trek Bridge Commander on GOG isn't as good as getting the ISO that has the game + pre-modded multiplayer/singleplayer/ and unmodded seperate EXEs ready to go.", "In their partial defense, they also released RDR2 in the middle of that time frame.", "Since this is such a high profile blunder, I can definitely see Sony doing what they did with Cyberpunk and refund people", "and Broodwar. Blizzards 2/3 I guess", "They are using unreal engine. They could simply program real rain with two clicks", "Yeah I don't get it. It's like they just Googled \"rain transparent gif\" and pasted it over the screen.", "Its funny because that’s probably exactly what happened", "The problem with that is that I don't agree and feel no qualms at all about downloading what I have paid for.", "You will own nothing and be happy.", "Also another issue both Warcraft 3 and This trilogy had that most good remasters didn't, are typically some of the old employees who originally coded the games are still around to answer questions about the un-commmented spaghetti code that existed before git repositories were really a thing, or old designers are still there and able to maintain the design ethos while upgrading it to a modern standard.\n\nIn both Blizzard and Rockstars case, those people bounced for greener pastures once the studios became shitty places to work that only care about their stock value.", "Fo4 also doesnt have a fun experience.", "I did not know they made this. I played D2 for the first time maybe a decade or more after its release and loved it. But my pc made it have some weird glitch with the colours which made it very hard to see. When I get home I'll probably get this and get addicted.", "So, I thought I'd for sure find Fallout New Vegas on your profile...\n\nRaid shadow legends though.. that's rough. \n\nI know, imagine judging someone by what they play and what they regard as a fun experience... right?", "Imagine judging someone by their judgement of others." ]

Steve wasn't as\nkeen as Cook on keeping \"ghost products\" aging out\nof the lineup for years at lower cost points after new\nmodels came out.

Sometimes you just get other aces and what you focus on has to change as well. If the team isn't defending their skies then you can bomb away and get ground kills but if there is a plane hunting other planes and you go for ground units it's easy to come in behind you so I recommend switching to a stealthier approach and going high up and looking down for planes or learning to low fly and weave between trees.", "The only reason I would play battlefield 2042 at this point would be to go into portal and play battlefield 1942 2" ]

I give almost a yearly review of the show, ok, every 2 years , and it's more funny every time i watch it ... not English native here, but it's a must to see this show in the original language and not subtitled or worse, dubbed.", "\"Larry would quit...\"", "There's more interview bits in that channel with great insights in how the show worked.\n\n[How the show ended](https://youtu.be/Ed8AAGfQigg)\n\n[How George became Larry David](https://youtu.be/4SgIH4tTtRo)\n\n[The Seinfeld reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm](https://youtu.be/9spg6o-wIWU)", "The marine biologist end scene. Earlier in the show Kramer had been hitting golf balls off a cliff into the sea, while George had lied to a girlfriend about being a marine biologist. They were then on a beach when a whale was beached and someone called out \"is anyone a marine biologist?\"and George was about to become undone, as he always did. Hence... https://youtu.be/0u8KUgUqprw", "Amazing show, great to see behind the scenes", "The best show, hands down.", "Something about this tale has never made sense to me. They would not write the two subplots (golf balls into the sea, marine biologist) like this without already having the final reveal in mind. Kramers story is way too random and not strong enough to stand on its own. \n\nI have no problem believing that the final speech was added during the shoot, but there's no way the original script just ended with him walking into the sea.", "Wow watching Seinfeld with dubbed vocals would be terrible. So much of the humor is im their tone and the way they communicate. Subtitles could do it justice as long as you have a really good translator. Sometimes a literal translation probably wouldn't be ideal you would want someone who is fully fluent in both languages and able to make some judgements about specific word choice", "Larry and Jerry tell the story slightly different (that they wrote it the night before), but they all seem to say basically it was not originally planned. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/uZPSO4yte8k", "Poland and Hungary have a fetish for dubbed shit ... it's the worst for tempo/pitch and for a show like Seinfeld, where Jerry was basically doing stand up and less acting, that's the essence of the whole show ... i mean, one can laugh at Kramer from any perspective and the way George was steaming up on diferent ocations ... or the great Stiller, but once you get to the : \n\n\"She has Man's hands!\" \n\"Man's hands?\" \n\"Yes ... man's hands.\" \n\nor \n\n\"He took it out.\" \n\"What do you mean , he took it out. He took what out?\" \n\"He took ... (ha, ha cleaning glasses) ... IT OUT!\" \n\nno translation or dubbing will cover such essence.", "I love Seinfeld, but why do I see so many posts about it on /r/videos?", "That one woman's hysterical \"whoop\" right before the rest of the laughter is so good it could have been scripted.", "This was really interesting. Did Friends take a different approach to laugh tracks? I swear in that show there's a laugh for every line, funny or not.", "It recently got added to Netflix, many people have been binge watching it and/or looking for behind the scenes stuff.", "I love Larry David, but he would be impossible to work with.", "I love that he would go to bat for his writers and cast. Dollars to donuts, if they actually took those notes Seinfeld would have been a 2 season flop.", "Yeah they are full on laffbox", "I'm just watching Seinfeld for the first time, and while I am liking it so far, the laugh track is imho one of the most annoying ones and the worst thing about the show by far.", "I can still laugh out loud at any given episode, one of the greatest shows for sure!", "Is there more background to all of that? Why would he \"quit\" so frequently?", "> Larry and Jerry tell the story slightly different\n\nDifferent perspectives and memories. Larry and Jerry wrote it the night before, but Jason only saw it on the say of shooting and possibly right before the scene was shot. He may have assumed it was written on the spot since that's when they asked him if he could quickly memorize a page of dialog and perform it without rehearsal.", "They would often do new jokes on the fly if it didn't land with the audience as well. There was an interview with Marta Kauffman years ago where they said they would rewrite jokes that didn't get the reaction they expected. One piece of the anecdote was that Matthew Perry (Chandler) was incredibly good at finding the right line for the cast to get the reaction they wanted. \n\n​\n\nI don't know if that meant they did 'blended' takes as JA suggests in the video, but they did often rewrite based on things that didn't go over well.", "There isn't one though. It's just the actual audience laughing.", "I dislike that just as much, maybe even more, but that's just me.", "George Constanza (at least the early season version) was Larry David - short tempered, anxious, egotistical, and also constantly worried. The episode where George quit on a Friday and came back Monday like nothing happened was based on Larry David actually doing that to Lorne Michaels on SNL. Except Lorne is used to working with temperamental creatives and just let him stay.", "This guy plays \"George\" way more convincingly than he does \"Jason\", no?", "That's odd cause the laughs are a live studio audience.", "unsurprisingly, tv personalities like to give out info in video format.\n\nLots of discussion subreddits tend to forbid posting links to YouTube.\n\nSeinfeld was just put on Netflix, so old fans and interested new viewers want to see more Seinfeld stuff.\n\nAll of these factors lead r/videos being the carriage for the bandwagon.", "I usually watch Seinfeld with friends or family, so it's a little less jarring since we're laughing at the jokes too.\n\nI totally get it though, Seinfeld is pretty much the only show where I don't mind the audience track.\n\n\nI think since Jerry writes crowd-pleasing jokes for standup, a live audience feels about as organic you're gonna get.", "yeah very true.. As an american I watch a bit of foreign-language stuff but never overdubbed! I sympathize for other parts of the world where the % of stuff you see is much more foreign-language and you have to deal with this stuff.", "There's [another one about him and Heidi Swedberg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41GzjFDle8) (who played Susan).\n\nOver the years, I've seen plenty of clickbait stories about how the cast never got along well with Swedberg and always made it sound like it was interpersonal -- always painting her fate as a raw deal for the actor. I'm glad to hear Alexander's perspective on it to put an end to this notion and that the difficulty was that of a professionally chemical level.", "The voiceover dubs that are common in post-soviet states is the worst.\n\nI was watching that new russian pilot disaster-drama and it was the *worst* not being able to hear people actually talk! \n\nI feel like regular 1 to 1 dubs already are crossing the line of ruining the original intent of the actors/directors. But a whole movie being a single guy reading lines like a tenured professor reads off slides is on another level of bad.\n\nMy heart goes out to those poor people behind the iron curtain whose only experience of foreign cinema are voiceovers.", "Dick Ebersol was the chief at SNL when Larry David wrote for them. This was in the early '80s before Lorne came back", "Oops, I just assumed Lorne Michaels eternally existed in SNL.", "Well, George was Larry David's derisive caricature of himself. It's certainly based on his real neuroses, but everything is dialed up to eleven and all of his positive traits are stripped away. Larry David got away with that stunt on SNL because he was a comedic genius; George Constanza didn't, because he was a bumbling idiot.", "The whole show is brilliant. George's character never ceases to amaze me. The lengths he will go to keep up a lie is incredible. The marine biologist is one where his lie actually leads to success or something beneficial.", "What's it about?", "It’s a show about ... NOTHING", "It was on Amazon Prime, not sure if it still is.", "Do the audiences manage to burst out laughing at lines being fed to them? Seems absurd. Like, ok that line didn't work, let's think about a new one.. hm ok, *performs line*, and the audience is in hysterics?", "I like what he says about Jerry's apartment being so small. I love that it looks like an *actual* one-bedroom you would find on the Upper West Side and not like the giant apartment on Friends. It's feasible that a somewhat famous stand up comedian in the 90s could afford that apartment. Now how Kramer makes enough money to live there is still a mystery...", "> But a whole movie being a single guy reading lines like a tenured professor reads off slides is on another level of bad.\n\n😄😄😄 oh man, funniest shit i read in a while now ... i'm from Romania and for us in the borderline period between communism and post Ceausescu period, like the 90's , it was a woman doing that exact thing on newly entered western movies that started pouring in after the regime fell ... it's funny because it's so true , Cheers!", "hysterics is the wrong word - there is definitely laughter. You can absolutely tell when a joke KILLS on a show but they aren't going for that with every line.\n\nWhen you are a studio audience, you usually are a huge fan of the show and they will generally bring in comedians or bands to help 'warm up the crowd'. This will keep the crowd going with energy when they figure out what the new line is. They will run back the scene and try again and the crowd not knowing what the new line is and them trying something new creates fun in the mystery.\n\nLaughing is also contagious. You are more likely to laugh if people around you are laughing than if you are by yourself.\n\nIf a joke bombs in front of a studio audience who are being conditioned to laugh, it is likely going to bomb much harder on TV.", "Like working in a Diner and having that grumpy old fart consistently send the soup back to the kitchen.", "It's been years since I watched that episode but I distinctly remember what you're talking about. I don't really care for laugh tracks, but there's something about that moment that makes it even better.", "?", "They didn't ever use a laugh track. Only took from other takes to keep it natural without jumps. Alexander goes into this integrity in the OP's video. That woman absolutely did hoot like that at that moment. And Jason says it was their longest sustained laugh ever.", "I’ve heard that friends shot every show on two consecutive days with separate audiences so not only did they have multiple takes to edit together but entirely different audience reactions too.", "There’s still a laugh ‘track’ in the edit which is tweaked for duration and volume. It’s not exactly the same as being there live.", "Sorry, I got \"laugh track\" and \"studio audience\" mixed up into one. And yeah that scene is definitely up there as far as the longest laugh goes. Another one that stands out is when Kramer struts around Jerry's apartment in the slim fit jeans.", "If the studios had their say, and ignored Larry David, the show would have most likely sucked.", "I’m just here to comment I’m like 666! NICE 😊", "?", "Sigh, guess I'm watching Marine biologist monologue scene again", "That was Kramer's whole *raison d'être* though. He was based on a dude Jerry and Larry both knew, who was a bit shady and no one actually knew what he did or how he could afford his apartment.", "Man, Jason Alexander is such an amazing actor. He can play such quirky characters but still be an eloquent, consummate, theatrically trained actor. I would love to pick his brain about Seinfeld all day.", "To be fair though, Larry and Kramer both lived in [Manhattan Plaza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Plaza), which has \nsignificantly cheaper rent for actors, comedians, writers, etc. So in real life it was less of a mystery how Kramer afforded his rent-- it was subsidized.", "Jason Alexander is so cool, I wish he was in more stuff. I know he's been regularly working this whole time but mostly doing theater stuff. His talent is a joy to watch and he clearly puts a lot of thought into his work.", "\"Is that a Titleist?\"\n\nThat was one of the greatest moments in TV comedy history", "I would pay money to read the nbc execs notes on the episodes about the nbc execs", "Suits bad, funny man good.", "...I think you may have something!", "You should also watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry show after Seinfeld which has him as an exaggeration version of himself. \n\nThreatening to quit over a small issue is very on brand for Larry,", "Friends is awful. It does not hold up and it's particularly for me, because it's overtly sappy and jerks itself off too much. I cringe so hard rewatching friends the way I would watching full house. They are so soft and blegh. Maybe I've been watching it's always Sunny too much lately but friends is just so horrible.", "Also the fact that an average marine biologist would be no real help in a situation like that.\nI’m a marine biologist and the knowledge I have really wouldn’t be of any additional use in saving a whale/dolphin than the average person.\nIt’s kind of like having a doctor that specialized in foot rehabilitation assist in eye surgery. They would just be useless.", "love him as an actor, but jason alexander always seems pretty up himself in these interviews", "Nah, more like having a diner where the cook is a grumpy old man, and whenever anyone complains or sends their food back asking for a change, the cook quits, again.", "I didn't realize there was a five year period without Lorne.", "Ceases to amaze", "Thank you.", "Subsidized by drugs", "Seas to a maze.", "Can you dumb it down a shade?", "Bad is bad, good is good", "Well, that and the producers were trying to insert rewrites into his & Jerry's scripts, which is why he would \"quit\" in Jason's telling of it here.\n\nAnd based on the final product, Larry was right in doing so.", "I always forget Prime Video exists.", "[https://youtu.be/xC1r-grOu1c](https://youtu.be/xC1r-grOu1c) \nLarry Thomas, the Soup Nazi, talks Seinfeld residuals", "I'm gonna go a little conspiratorial and guess that since it's on Netflix the marketing companies are dialing up internet buzz.", "“Oh God, I don’t have it any more. They’re gonna fire me and call Shalhoub.”", "I like his documents about acting without acting", "ELI1?", "Sees two a maize", "He's amazingly professional which is the complete opposite of all the characters he plays", "the most egregious thing the localization did was anglicize the names, was that a thing for vcr bootlegs in your experience (in your case they'd be... romanized?)?\n\nThey were the most England-Anglo names too ( a london company did the dub), and since you can see all the pilot's nametags its just so bizarre.\n\nYeah sure, \"Алексей Гущин\" spells \"McCoy\"...", "Actually, i don't think it was the case ... because it sounded wierd to translate everything except the names ... so, long story short, the lady who did all those voice over , became our top cinema critic in Romania and, of course she ended up on the Oscars on many ocations to comment for the Romanian TV stations the event ... Margareta Nistor is her name, you can check her history yourself.\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irina_Margareta_Nistor?wprov=sfla1", "Larry would “quit” to force the studio to back off. They wanted to show to be even cleaner and more family friendly than it already is. When NBC would try to prevent episodes like The Contest, Larry would quit unless they let the episode go forward. \n\nPeople making it out like LD is the asshole in this situation when his ability and willingness to walk away from bad ideas is one of the things that made the show great. He’s more like a great boss telling the CEO to back off the micromanagement. Not sure why everyone is posting all the LD hate.", "That's what's funny about that part. It's an absurdly specific request that relates exactly to his lie. It's a ridiculous situation to be in but george has to stick with his lie.", "I love the story of how it took him several takes to sing \"*believe it or not George isn't at home\"* poorly, because Jason Alexander has some serious pipes." ]

It's kinda interesting.", "\"He's not interested in most toys...

Got my mom addicted to watching them.", "Otters are not pets and we shouldn't be upvoting stuff like this..\n\nUnless this happens to be a rescue, then fine, but all these videos do is encourage people to copy and create risk of suffering to wild animals.", "They're like sea pugs", "River otters are solitary hunters and apex predators in a lot of environments. They don't have a pack to share food with and rarely have to compete with other animals. Total guess on my part but I suspect that would be a significant factor in their less frantic eating.", "almost every video ive ever seen of river otters include some kind of pack. maybe ive just been watching videos of the south american river otters that take down alligators as a pack, but im pretty sure there's enough variability in river otters that you can't just outright state that river otters are solitary hunters; there are a plethora of videos proving otherwise.", "actually, this comment is why i came here in the first place. ive seen a bunch of youtube videos with otters as pets in japan. maybe its the same few youtubers but if anyone knows: is it somewhat common for people to have otters as pets in japan?", "If you haven't watched, Aty and Loutre are also adorable otter channels.", "I mean, can I suggest you don't guess based on youtube videos and read something?\n\nBeing social animals doesn't make them not solo hunters. Yes, they do socialise, but they don't hunt or live together in packs like wolves do. They don't bring down prey together and then share. They hunt and eat their own food. And while some live in small social groups (usually no more than two) most live alone.\n\n[While river otters tend to live alone or in pairs, they often socialize in groups and are known for their playful behavior...they hunt singly or in pairs](https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/north-american-river-otter)\n\nThis article is about North American river otters which are notably more social than most.\n\n> you can't just outright state that river otters are solitary hunters\n\nYou know scientists exist right? You don't need to get your information from Tik Tok. You absolutely can outright state that. They've been extensively studied.", "Looks like it's Hana, not Hannah. Pronounced almost the same, but Hana is japanese for \"flower\" or \"nose\".\n\nAmusingly the same word. Implying your nose is a face flower.", "\n>You know scientists exist right?\n\nI do. I also know how to read. I might not be particularly good at it, but here's an article from national geographic that includes information about how giant river otters live in family units. I'm no biologist, but I'm somewhat certain that a family unit qualifies as a pack. I could certainly find more, but literally the first result of my Google search provides a result that's more or less accepted as a veritable source. \n\nhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/giant-otter\n\n> you can't just outright state that river otters are solitary hunters\n\nI'm not sure you understand how absolute statements work. If you say river otters are solitary hunters that don't have a pack to share food you're explicitly stating that *all* river otters can be qualified by this description. But since there is evidence that *some* river otters do not behave in the way you previously asserted, it would seem to be the case that it is true that you can't just outright state that river otters are solitary hunters. Well, technically, you *can* say it, but it's not necessarily true.\n\nI know you qualified your statement by saying \"in a lot of environments\" but your comment as a whole comes across as an absolute.", "They have pretty crazy whiskers.", "We breed dogs to be trained. Dogs that were easily tried with food were breed which resulted in dog that love to eat more than anything.", "\"In a lot of environments\" specifically implies this is not true for some otters.\n\nThis isn't a giant otter...and even giant otters are still generally opportunistic solo hunters. The mainstay of their diet is smaller fish which they will catch and eat for themselves.\n\nSaying an animal is a solo hunter does not mean it will never hunt in a group. The same way that saying wolves are pack hunters doesn't mean solo wolves just immediately starve to death.", "Oh actually I was just skimming over this for typos and I think I see now what the problem is now. When you said \n\n> im pretty sure there's enough variability in river otters that you can't just outright state that river otters are solitary hunters\n\nI thought you were making one of those \"You can't know an animals behaviour, you aren't psychic\" type of arguments. Like because you'd seen a youtube video of different behaviour you could disregard biological studies. Thought I was talking to one of those people and got annoyed, sorry.", "These are just very streamlined dogos.", "That's what they said about wolfs 6000 years ago as well!", "This isn't a program for breeding otters over centuries to domesticate them.\n\nThis is a wild animal being exploited for views.", "You have never seen Ugha Bugha Wolf's Xploits on Twotch? \n\nThere were a lot of caveman complaining just like you today.", "What makes you call me a caveman?\n\nHow can we have a genuine discussion if you're just going to resort to name calling?\n\nEdit: I'm officially old, I honestly don't understand the joke he's trying to convey and I'm getting downvoted without it being explained. Fuck me I guess.", "Otter Boxes", "If you couldn't tell thats a joke theres something wrong with you...", "Oh it's a joke? Please explain.", "Yeah, they seem devastated to be there.", "Apologies, typed it on my phone and didn't notice the auto correct.", "I don't buy into those arguments. The otters here are clearly happy and you admitted to not knowing the full context.\n\nPeople not doing research is *their* fault, not these owners. That's a perverse reversal of responsibility.\n\nYour offensive jumping to conclusions, i.e. judgment, is why you're overthinking things (and with presumptuous cavalier). Just enjoy the video.", "Anything small and odd. In the 90s, it used to be a thing that people would vacuum up prairie dogs and sell them for big bucks to Japan.\n\nhttps://www.deseret.com/1996/5/23/19244216/prairie-dogs-sucked-up-from-home-on-the-range-to-become-pets-in-japan\n\nJapan outlawed them in 2003, for fear of some diseases they can carry (like the plague).", "Omg it’s so cute 🥰", "Think you're anthropomorphising them too much.", "I get it. I breezed over your \"in most environments\" qualifier myself. Thanks for the apology! And they say people can't respectfully disagree on Reddit.

They don't value discussion but rather demand conformity.", "In other words: \"I'm a *free thinker* because I do whatever contradicts the vast majority of expert opinions and data on the matter. I know better than everyone else. The fact that so many so called experts agree simply proves that they are mindless sheep. Also, I am easily offended but will insult everyone else.\"", "I've been up for 33 hours. Can someone help decipher this for me?", "Fast forward to 8:51 for the good stuff.", "There's a ton of homophones in Japanese that don't imply any connection, just as does English. 花 and 鼻 are the kanji, they don't share radicals, they're discrete concepts.

That's a perfect description of a mind out of focus, and probably one content in remaining that way, and appeals to those who don't like to think, a process that entails sustained focus, i.e. concentration, because it requires less effort; the appeal to authority and/or popularity provides a facade of truth, often conflated with credibility.", "You're committing the package-deal fallacy by jumping to conclusions (and you've done that a *lot*), i.e. overgeneralizing. *Nothing* about being a free thinker necessitates going against the grain and/or being \"better than everyone else.\" Ironically, this demonstrates your lack of understanding what free thinking (and appealing to authority) is: You notice that some free thinkers are irrational and thereby generalize that that is what characterizes free thinking, hence your package dealing overgeneralization (and fallaciously sanctioning appealing to authority). \n\nKnowledge is a personal process, not a contest of credentials and/or a matter of memorization.

/r/videos/comments/qv421u/i_discussed_the_richard_lowtax_kyanka_situation/
[ "Lowtax... now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.", "One that sadly ended in tragedy. :C\n\nAnd I ended up getting a weird front row seat to it all as a fan turned friend.\n\nLeast he kept the Lowtax name strong in death.", "Dick Masterson invited me onto the show to discuss my involvement with the Richard \"Lowtax\" Kyanka situation. \n\nRichard was accused by Ashli with having an affair with me. This unfortunately never happened!\n\nThe truth of the situation was that I was a long time fan of Lowtax and Something Awful, I reply girl'd him a bunch, and I ended up sending him pornographic imagery. This is because I was doing porn. Cam girling. Hustling my body for internet bucks. Sending my nudes to a hero was an introduction more than it was a rendezvous in France! \n\nWe ended up chatting about games and other digital aged things and he ended up wanting to play some coop games, Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain, and Warhammer: Inquisitor. He gifted me Inquisitor no problem, thanks to Steam, but we ended up having issues with a PSN card he bought for me in order to purchase it due to country restrictions. So he purchased it on amazon and just shipped it instead. This is when Ashley noticed the credit card bill and accused him of having an affair with me. \n\nShe attacked me during this time for posting in defense of Rich, which I've put into an album below full of other images relating to this case/context. At first I thought she was just spiteful Rich had someone calling out lies, but I then realized she was actually very very serious about the affair accusation and it's more of a case of hurt ex-girlfriend bullying new girl into feeling less than her.\n\nWe never had an affair! Beyond me sending some of my work to him, if you will, all we generally talked about were: His painful feet, missing his kids, the internet is hell, social media as a bigger picture sort of topic, society, gaming, and how he felt completely unheard in this case against him and his down fall. Everyone just enjoyed the funny man dancing for money in misery, too proud to cry for help. He's Lowtax! He'll find a way! He'll just be like Maddox or some other internet legend.\n\nRichard built a website which defined internet culture as we know it today. His legacy was stolen from him by these women in particular and his image was smeared by many, many quick judging and self-righteous users. \n\nHe wasn't perfect. I don't want anyone to think I loved this man, that I wanted to be this man, or anything like that. I was a concerned fan turned friend who checked up on him and was there watching him struggle since the Shmorky downfall. I tried to keep him occupied with better games than he was subjecting himself to on Gaming Garbage. I asked him how he was, he'd deflect, and I'd ask again to try to see how well he was swimming. I knew he was suicidal two weeks before he did it, and even asked him not to. As much as a digital friend across an imaginary line can do for him, really. \n\nWe ended up creating a few NFTs together before he died, they're not the focus here so I'm not linking them, but I just wanted to get out that I'm not trying to cash out on my friend's death. I'm already a minimalist who doesn't need more to be happy. Games, Weed, Crow Food. Computer parts would be dope but that's about it. If Tank Girl was computer focused, I'd be her. I get by on social credit. \n\nAll I want is you to rethink the Lowtax situation, and realize that he wasn't the monster he was painted to be. He never felt he was heard in life, so I'm doing what I can to make sure he's not buried in the wife beater with a comic sans \"LOWTAX\" on it that everyone bought online.\n\nSomething Awful will always be his legacy, for better or worst.\n\nIf there's any errors with the video rendering, please leave your morals on piracy in the comments. \n\nAlbum Link: https://imgur.com/a/tApgw8u\n\nI'll happily provide any other context and logs that are requested if deemed relevant to the case. Ask Ashli and Logan if they'll do the same.", "Being a top tier piece of shit and bailing on his obligation to his children. Stay shitty.", "He hadn't seen two of his daughters for two years and was having his other hidden from him for the longest time. Rich talked endlessly about his missing his kids. They were his favorite part of life. His children were weaponized against him. \n\n\nHe was left in pretty terrible pain due to nerve damage from his spinal problems. His feet were purple and moving around became difficult. His money was being held in escrow so he had to resort to borrowing. He wasn't enjoying life anymore.\n\nThere's enough evidence against both Logan Day and Ashli to make them non-credible. There may be more evidence coming forth soon too." ]

And wine is the subject he doesn’t know anything about and doesn’t give a shit about.

I don’t want to hear your views about the gold standard again.”", "The key thing about all of this... is that most things expire. Not paper towels or toilet paper but food does, medicine does, and batteries too. So if you spend that extra amount of money - and it does add up - you could be throwing money into the trash if you wind up not using it. \n\nIf this is a regular part of your life then it might make sense to move to a safer area. Otherwise this is a lot of work that you need to do, spend some money stockpiling, regularly monitor it and - for years and likely decades - never using any of it.\n\nThe time to do this is way before a disaster is going to come. Not this week or next week but a few months away so you can get everything before everyone starts to hoard everything. For instance, if I was living in Texas, I'd start buying stuff now if the power goes out again.\n\nHaving a power charger that charges using pedal or solar power isn't a bad idea since that won't expire. There are some items that are also a radio and a flashlight. [Something like this.](https://www.amazon.com/Ready-America-Emergency-Station-Function/dp/B00475B97W) It'll give you a basic tool and a way to get information and power. Make sure your place has signs that say how many pets there are (not a bad thing for fire emergencies too). Have a place for the family to meet during emergencies. Double-check emergency contacts and program them on the phones. Also check your insurance and if you're near a flood zone, get flood insurance from FEMA (only place that sells official flood insurance). Note: you can still be flooded if you're not in a flood zone.\n\nTake reasonable precautions, don't dig a bunker in your yard, and any of this is plausible then consider moving to a safer area.

Gimme that harmonica tunnnes", "No. You are not right.", "Ikr", "I love Les, he’s awesome and this is great. But does anyone else get Colin Robinson vibes?", "Just don't ask him about psychics. Or bigfoot. Or psychic Bigfoot.", "Hardly. That whole bigfoot thing is blown way out of proportion. Here's how I remember it, having watched it unfold real-time: \n\n* 2012: Les Stroud appears on Joe Rogan's podcast in its early days, on episode #287. Joe (who has since turned his back on \"outlandish\" conspiracy theories to embrace ones about ancient history and present-day politics) was into Bigfoot at the time. This was when Joe still had doubts about the moon landing, believed in aliens, and flogged other such tentpole conspiracy fare. If you think Joe Rogan still believes in that stuff, it pales in comparison to how he used to be--just look up his episodes with Steven Greer, if you can find them. Anyway, Joe asked Les whether he had any Bigfoot stories, and it turned out Les did. But Les' Bigfoot stories were more like \"I've heard some strange things in the woods; I can't say for sure it was Bigfoot, but I do believe we don't know about everything that's out there\". It was very benign. Just a campfire story.\n\n* 2013: Nearly one year later, Joe films a show called \"Joe Rogan Questions Everything\". The first episode is about Bigfoot hunters. Joe, now having had a look at cryptozoologists up close, realizes he can't be associated with these people because they're completely crazy. He turns to mocking them for their stupidity despite believing in (or at least keeping an open mind about) Bigfoot himself. He later does a comedy bit about it, and pretends like he was never onboard. \n\n* 2014/15: Probably as a result of the popularity of that JRE podcast, Les shoots a Survivorman miniseries on Bigfoot. I haven't watched it, but I don't think it was completely serious. Survivorman ended its run that same year and Les moved on to do a show about surviving with indigenous cultures around the world. Thus in what was Survivorman's last season, he seemed to let it jump the shark: he didn't just hunt Bigfoot but went to Transylvania to hunt Dracula, and so on. Discovery was becoming overloaded with reality TV drivel as well as more and more outlandish stuff to compete with the History Channel and its success with Ancient Aliens. I suspect the network pushed Les to embrace his open-mindedness about Bigfoot, even if he didn't believe he'd find one while shooting a TV show in the woods. \n\n* 2015: Les reappears on the JRE podcast, episode #632, to promote the Bigfoot show. He's doing a media tour, of course he's going to try to drum up interest. Joe is an utter fucking dick and mocks Les Stroud with this glibness he developed from his experience on the Joe Rogan Questions everything show. To Joe, Les is now \"one of the crazies\". When I was listening at the time, I felt it was hypocritical in the extreme; I don't believe in Bigfoot, but Joe was practically begging Les for Bigfoot stories 2.5 years prior on Les' first JRE appearance, during which time Joe took those stories as gospel. Joe then does a show on Bigfoot on network television--the same thing Les was doing!--and now is trying to hamstring Les' media tour? Fuck that. \n\n* 2019: Looking at IMDB now, I can see Les did a comedy film with Tom Green called \"Interviewing Monsters and Bigfoot\". Suffice it to say he doesn't take it seriously. I'm not sure he ever has. \n\nTL;DR: Joe Rogan is largely to blame for Les Stroud's association with Bigfoot, which he hypocritically mocked him for. Les Stroud is not the nutter Rogan made him out to be.", "That's exactly the kind of topic you want to talk about while doing drugs", "Love this guy. Way better than that Bear guy.", "Leave the bread unwrapped. It lasts longer that way. Also store your milk next to the heater that smell means it's starting to preserve.", "Maybe he'd wanna talk about da bears instead, yah?", "As long as they don't rust.

No internet either. Vehicles could not drive on the slippery icy roads blocked by fallen trees. Grocery stores could not be supplied with food.\n\n> Canadian winters are no joke when it gets cold. Big cities were in the dark for at least a week. My small suburban town had no electricity for 3 weeks. Some other remote regions did not recover their power grid for up to 1 or 2 months later.\n\n> Yet my childhood memory is surprisingly non eventful. No riots or gun fights.

This is something we've never seen happening in Canada, I guess it's just not in our culture.\n\n> To put it in perspective, the current coronavirus pandemic we are living this years seems more disruptive in my life than when I lived through 3 weeks with no power grid, no food supply, in the dead of freezing winter.", "Just a observation, how much society has changed.

It was a pretty scene but not all that impressive... until you realize the guy is surviving alone and had to walk an extra 2-3 miles in survival mode in the snow (both ways) just to set up such a seemingly throwaway b-roll shot.", "How many people would actually use this type of food ad water storage? I mean either I'm in danger abd I'm leaving the house, the house is destroyed, or I'm staying here but why would the city not have food ad water yet my house is still fine?

It was more about how he seemed to talk about seagal with a reverance but then I imagine seagal was likely an action star when Lee was a young man that didn't have the shittiness attached to him yet.", "More likely is he'll play you some epic harmonica.", "I mean he straight up says do not ever attempt what he's doing because you watched the show. \n\nHe makes it abundantly clear that it is not a substitute for actual survival skills and spends weeks beforehand learning himself from experts in that area.", "reading the description, sounds like this isn't the full cut:\n\n>SEE THE FULL LENGTH FEATURE as presented by American Public Television on PBS stations in the United States; check your local listings!", "having watched this, if you want to survive, get a costco membership.

Clearly not the poor who need to make choices between rent, medicine, and food. Clearly not the rich who have other plans and multiple locations already. Middle class?

/r/videos/comments/qval9g/why_do_peacocks_show_off/
[ "To get some bird pussy.", "Most people will answer OP's question with something like, \"to attract mates\" but that answer doesn't really tell you much.\n\n*Why* does this attract a female? *Why* did females evolve to prefer males who do this? The answer, in all things evolutionary psychology is: because the females who just so happen to prefer this left more and healthier offspring. They left male offspring with giant fan tails, and female offspring that were attracted to giant fan tails.\n\nOkay, but how exactly does this trait confer selective advantage? Why should a male with tail to tell out-compete a male with ...here's a crazy thought - camouflage! Seems like that'd be an advantage, right?\n\nYes, camouflage would help an individual male to avoid predators. But what camouflage doesn't do is communicate anything about the male so that the female can distinguish more healthy/more fit from less healthy/fit. See, in all sexual species, the males perform displays that are public and costly. Costly - meaning, the male has to have some skin in the game.\n\nRams butt their heads together. The stronger (more healthy/fit) ones win the fight, and get the ladies. [Bower birds build bowers](https://blog.nature.org/science/2021/01/04/bowerbirds-meet-the-bird-worlds-kleptomaniac-love-architects/), crickets chirp, etc. etc.\n\nPeacocks grow that giant fan tail, which proves that they have the energy to grow it, and that they can survive predators since they don't have camouflage. There's a theory too that parasites degrade their ability to produce bright colors, so they're also advertising parasite resistance.\n\nAnd that's why they show off.\n\nIncidentally, there is variation in every population - there has to be for evolution to work. So there are always females who don't like peacocks with gaudy tails. I'm sure those females end up teaching peahen-studies courses and inventing narratives like, \"toxic peacocking\" and claiming this is all a conspiracy to oppress them.\n\nBut the truth is, the males are the way they are because the females choose them and mate with them, and then leave more and healthier offspring than the females who have other preferences.", "That is a very strange choice of music.", "Because they're cocky" ]

[ "The Sarah Connor Chronicles is underrated.\n\nAt least they had the balls to address it. A time traveller from the 90s would have skipped over 9/11, and it's kinda important to know about that in America; it explains a lot of the changes they'd see.", "Damn dude that’s hilarious", "I died when the cholo crashed his one finger into his two other fingers and made a boom sound effect.", "I couldn’t get through that. Have an upvote.", "Hahaha what a shitty show. Was this supposed to be a comedy?", "\n***[\"Fuckin' planes n' buildings, how do they work!?\"](https://youtube.com/shorts/8bhYMnHb5JY?feature=share)***", "/r/BrandNewSentence", "> it explains a lot of the changes they'd see\n\nI feel like they would also basically conclude that the terrorists won. They got us to change pretty huge parts of how we live and started the process of turning us against ourselves.", "lol, nah. Shit like the war on drugs was already a thing, the terrorists didn't win....the government was just being opportunistic about the situation with stuff like the patriot act.\n\n-and honestly, we really needed the update in airport security. That was a wakeup call. D.B Cooper also triggered airport security reforms and changes to technical aspects of plane construction, such as extra measures to stop doors from being opened mid-flight.", "> the government was just being opportunistic about the situation with stuff like the patriot act.\n \n\nAbsolutely, but wasn't that the goal of the terrorists? To expose the evil empire? Provoke the US Govt into a never ending bleed of a war; the same thing they did with the Russians? But somehow The Pentagon and military contractors made it into a business.", "No, they were attempting to temporarily cripple the economy and government, thus sending us into chaos. That's why they hit the Pentagon and World Trade Center. Once we were in chaos, they would be able to engage in further devastating acts. All of which would distract us and keep us in fear.\n\nThe opposite of their goal happened; the U.S. government cracked down, exerting more power, and our military/public united against terrorism and Islam for a period of time....leading to a ramped up presence in the middle east which scattered their forces and sent them hiding in caves for a decade+.\n\nAl Qaeda (funded by Saudi Royalty) basically just smacked the Hornets nest.\n\nThey didn't care to \"expose\" anything, because they didn't want the people of the west on their side, they hate/hated the people as well. \n\nTheir ultimate goal was to spread their Theocracy, and they needed to get powerful western nations off of their back in order to make headway in that area.\n\nNow, they accomplish this by funneling radical immigrants into nations, as an ancient tactic of replacement. Europe and The U.K. are filling with Muslims; many who are either supportive or passive when it comes to radical Islam. This type of maneuver doesn't work as well when governments act with vigilance and openly recognize the threat.\n\nThe western world (being superior) has a lot of empathy, and has since felt really bad about some of the overreach in the 2000s, which has made us overcorrect in the opposite direction....so, now a lot of liberals and far left individuals find themselves supporting Islam in unhealthy ways. \n\nThe terrorists didn't plan this part; we're just fucking ourselves over as our good efforts for racial/cultural equality are used against us, and the radical beliefs/individuals use that movement as a trojan horse. Again, this wasn't their plan; it's the terrorist being opportunistic this time around.\n\nThroughout history, many groups, nations, civilizations, kingdoms, etc have fallen to their enemies by way of naivete and political/cultural over-correction.\n\n The words \"nice\" and \"niave\" share a root because \"nice\" was an Old World backhanded compliment that meant you were pleasant but gullible. \n\nWe just need to find a way to be compassionate and forward thinking *while* we as western nations keep ahold of our national cultural identities and maintain some healthy level of skepticism towards religious groups of all kinds (including that of conservative Christianity and Judaism, as well as the many cults, both home and abroad). \n\nReligion only wants power, and always leans towards a Theocracy when it gets that power. A stable, free, secular government cannot exist under a Theocracy, and neither can Democracy.\n\nSo. Yeah, that's what's up.", "Yeah, not really.", "No, literally; this is the reality of the situation." ]

It's great to see visuals of things that weren't perfectly articulated in the books, or things I missed shown rather than something I have to reread. I'm also excited to watch Dune for this reason, since I just finished the book and I'm pumped for the movie. \n\nPeople who say \"book is better\" are usually snobby in my opinion.

Not only did [Thomas Jane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jane) do an amazing job with the part, what made the first 2 seasons so great was the angle of it being a sci-fi detective story.

Aliens are extraneous to me in a grounded universe of human expansion into space; while the alien tech is interesting and gives some legs to the narrative, I wouldn't miss it at all if it was absent. \n\nI feel like a dystopian Roddenberry story where humans explore the galaxy with all the baggage from our solar system is interesting, but IMO humanity as it is depicted in The Expanse is utterly incapable of such a unified mission. It's the future equivalent of the age of Viking exploration; enough drive and resources to throw ships into the void but not enough to permanently colonize. \n\nAlso Belters are less of an oppressed people and more of a disorganized people. Earthers as a people are far more disenfranchised, with almost no means to enjoy the wealth of the system without being born into it. Dusters are in a far better position of power, but still are pouring resources into an impossible dream, significantly diminishing their force projection. Belters live in a libertarian hellscape, where the fractured political/tribal system of their people means that they are easily exploited by any larger group. But this lack of power is less of a class issue (though echoes of class themes are throughout the show) and more of a political capital issue. Inaros has demonstrated that Earth and Mars are just as easily exploited when there is a unified front from the Belt (if not more so due to the inherent reliance on the centralization of power on planets). Every group in the show is suffering in their own way and dealing with their own challenges. While at first glance it seems like a simple proles vs. bourgeoisie conflict but it goes much deeper than that, where the baggage of the past blends with the challenges of the future. The Belt seems worse off because the show is mostly set in space, but we see in many cases how the lower class throughout are all disenfranchised in their own way.", "Damn, that's what I was afraid you were going to say.", "So disappointed in this storyline.

We're short sighted and greedy and tribal and that doesn't just stop, even when we learn that there are long dead interstellar aliens who tried to destroy earth 2 billion years ago.", "This is very much the story of the books, especially at this stage.\n\nEven the first stories are fundamentally about politics. They're about the war between Mars and Earth, the repression and dehumanization of Belters, the greed of the inner planets at the expense of the outer planets. Those plot points set the stage for what's happening at this point in the story. \n\nUltimately the books are more about the politics and human aspects than they are about aliens.", "This series takes place in like the 25th Century.

The show is still following the books pretty well it's just that 5-6 aren't really that important in the grand scheme of things. I really don't see how they can have a satisfying ending after season 6 so I'm kind of expecting it to go off the rails. The whole Belter conflict is mostly a setup to explain the political situation for the last three books.", "It would have been a huge divergence from the books not to kill Miller off. I also don't think his story would be well serviced by being extended longer. Making that arch longer just means we see him either get much, much worse, or improve to a point where his death takes on a completely different meaning. \n\nThe arch we do get is great: A burned out joke of a cop becomes obsessed with the subject of his final case, his obsession slowly causes him to lose every little thing he had and he doesn't even find her alive. He sacrifices his life to descend into hell just for the chance to see her, to talk to her and conform her in death, and he gets to go out in a blaze of glory, satisfied, as he saves humanity from extinction.

But that's not the case, we're a bunch of monkeys in spaceships throwing rocks at each other.", "Unfortunately, the show fell off a massive cliff due to introducing the rings, superior life forms, and a potential creation story only to then focus on turmoil between belters and Earth. Such a shame. First couple seasons were great!", "The war is only going on because the rings opened up. The rings meant that Mars was dead because terraforming a dead planet is pointless when 1300 earth like planets exist, which meant that their massive navy was sold off. The rings meant that eventually the belters who couldn't settle on planets due to their physiology would eventually lose their economic niche and die out, because it's not worth mining resources in a vacuum when there are 1300 worlds rich with everything you can find in the belt. \n\nThe point of the Rings is that even when our universe gets 1000 times larger and expands across the stars we still have the eternal issue of being human. That no matter how much things change, they always stay the same. That even though our fundamental understanding of the universe has shifted we're still only human, with all the biases, greedy and tribalism that comes with that.", "> I thought it'd only get better with Amazon\n\nThey definitely got a big juiced up budget, so that was cool, but I suspect that Amazon was a bit \"unlucky\" in that the books being adapted for s4/s5 (mostly books 4 and 5, I assume?) are a bit different in style to what was used for s1-3 on SyFy. i.e. s4 is very planet-based and claustrophobic, a bit beige and dull compared to what came before, and s5 is deliberately the opposite of the usual lead hero story (the cast are all split up and get their own stories, rather than Holden being the centre).\n\nI liked aspects of both the new Amazon seasons, but I've been missing the sci-fi craziness a bit.

Then another major change once the gates open. We first get introduced to the far future and its status quo. The protomolecule is a chaos agent that reshuffles the chessboard (for one thing, the dream of Mars dies, greatly diminishing its power). Of course there are going to be new players seizing an opportunity for power. The story is about people navigating the course of that chaos and seeing where it leads. To me, that's the compelling part of the story.", "No real source other than bits and pieces on /r/TheExpanse, so don't quote me on this :)", "That’s not weird at all.

It felt like they had a limited budget (probably accurate) and didn’t really know what to do. \n\nI really liked season 5, mainly because I think Amos Burton is a fantastic character, and the season really built him up.

The show is a great compliment to the books. The books are better tho.", "I get that, which is why the context of reading the books ahead of time would have probably helped. I'm just saying that, from the perspective of someone who started watching it because it was a cool sci-if TV show with a prominent alien presence in the first couple seasons, that led to the discover of the ring... the shift from that go almost pure human story was a bit disappointing.", "There is a chunk at the end that deals with the protomolecule.", "All while she makes billy goat noises with her gravelly voice.", "I haven't watched the show but in the books the belter faction takes control of the station in the slow zone and installs rail guns and what not so they're essentially a choke point and blow up any ship that comes in without their permission. It is mostly locked down to one solar system because they basically control all of the others by default because none of the colonies are powerful enough to fight them.", "The one at the end of the video asking \"Who's there?\" Yeah I assumed that was his daughter, >!When she was sneaking into the cave and found Amos.!<", "That's great and all and I appreciate that narrative but I'm just coming at if from the perspective of someone who wanted to watch a cool sci fi show with aliens. The show went from heavily featuring the protomolecule, culminating in the opening of the ring gates and exploration of an alien world... to human struggle, forget about the aliens entirely. \n\nI think reading the books would provide a much more rich experience and allow me to care about the human story. However, not knowing where the show was headed, I expected a lot more alien elements after they landed on Ilus. Instead they basically delivered an entire season devoid of that aspect of the story. Still enjoy the show and I'm excited for season 6... but it was a big of a letdown personally.", "You mean the alien?", "And expensive.\n\nAging an entire cast for an entire season would cost a lot of time and money.", "I'd love to see a reboot where they don't turn it into a soap opera.", "~~Audible has a complete package you can get for like 1 credit or 30$, it includes all the books and short stories, releases in March 2022 tho...~~\n\nNever mind didn't read the description properly it's only the shorts/novella.", "Exactly. It’s one thing to age up a few characters here and there. But the show is a fairly big ensemble. That’s hours upon hours each day in a makeup chair. A lot of artists would need to make that happen … and make it happen consistently day after day.", "Yes. It's a machine created by the protomolecule creators.", "Oh that could be. I was assuming it was the little girl from the strange dogs novella since that's one of the \"strange dogs\".", "Do they go deeper into the alien threat in the books? I'm really interested in what killed the ring builders and the builders themselves.", "Oh you're probably right, I've never read the novellas. Doubly right since, >!Doesn't them meeting happen after the time skip!<?", "I agree to some extent, you can't show all that and not expand on it.", "They do in books 7 and 8, but they're still a secondary plot point. I'm guessing book 9 will has a significant portion of its plot devoted to that though.", "Honestly, I watched all the seasons (rewatched S1-S4 in february) and would like to read the books, but don't want to read the ones that S1-S3 covered (I know the books are different and I'd miss a lot). \n\nI'm really interested in the colonization aspect and the ring builders and what killed them and I'd like to read the books that cover that......soooo finally my questions lol which books cover that?", "I believe the compendium is just a collection of all the short stories in one.", "Completely agree. And it looks like this new season is just going to be more turmoil from the previous season.", "Yeah it’s nonsense drivel in comparison to the rings and protomolecule.

There really isn't a single book or set of books that concentrate on them. The entire season is centered around James Holden and his crew. That being said, in the show they had the whole season on that outer planet... In the book there is a ton more detail that specifically focuses on the Protomolecule civilization that the show didn't go into as deep of a dive on.\n\nAlso, the first three books definitely go into a lot more detail on how it works and what it is, especially in regards to the alien station in the center of the Slow Zone.\n\nI definitely would not reccomend skipping books and reading from there, especially since you've seen the show, it really wouldn't make any sense since the characters are different and their roles are different. Considering one actors was fired from the show for sexual misconduct and his character was killed off as a result. He is definitely more prominent in the books. That changes things.", "Best hard sci-fi book I read this year was Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, I cannot recommend it enough. Also check out We Are Legion by Dennis Taylor.", "> a spin-off with Amos called, ~~‘Amos’.~~\n\n'Timothy'", "It's the last season pertaining to events before that moment. It's not the last season in terms of a complete adaptation. We'll be missing several books of content.\n\nLeviathan falls is published in a couple weeks which will be the conclusion of the series, so perhaps in a year or two someone will come along with a proposal to adapt the last 3 books in a spinoff/sequel series. But I think currently the contracts are expiring for this season, so its no guarantee that it'll ever get adapted.\n\nThat said, this season will end at a point that is a fairly solid conclusion, but here's hoping they eventually get adapted.", "Same I'm pissed, and wtf happened to the protomolecule? Total bait and switch. The fate of the galaxy was at hand ffs", ">Are we just ignoring all of the alien shit now? \n\nYes", "They want to write something unique and novel and they very much achieved that.", "I actually felt seasons 3-5 were better than 1 and 2. 1 was a total slog and I didn't really start liking the show or any of the characters until all the shit started going down on Eros. S3 was fantastic, 4 was a bit slower, but I really liked 5, other than the fact that the main characters were separated for most of it.", "I guess I'm in the minority of people that prefers the human stories to the proto molecule stuff. The conflict between Earth, Mars, and the Belt is far more interesting to me.", "Amazon decided to fuck around for two seasons with space terrorists instead of giving us the protomolecule stuff... pathetic honestly\n\nDidnt have much faith in them to begin with, but what I had is gone now", "It’s weird.. for a space drama, the scope of the conflict overall has always seemed kinda small to me, except the the Ring was involved.", "No hes a real shit boy in the books.", "Seveneves is an amazing hard scifi by Neal Stephenson.", "I thought the first part was 10/10 but the second section it kind of got...meh", "I enjoyed the whole thing the second act definitely has a different feel but without giving anything away. The emotions I felt towards certain characters was intended and pretty good I think.", "Nah it's fine. Giant space goo/astroid ship almost destroyed earth, then exploded out of Venus and built a portal to hundreds of different alien worlds, selected a single man as the chosen conduit for communication, all while revealing a mysterious battle between two ancient giga powerful species that make humans look like ants...\n\nSo yeah that's just about wrapped up, nothing else to explore here.", "The thumbnail looks like a screenshot of an Outer World's character", "At no point was the protomolecule or alien shit ever the focus of the story.\n\nIt's a story about humans. Just like how in real life we're all too busy arguing with each other over dumb shit to deal with threats like global warming or disease, people 300 years from now haven't changed much. \n\nIt's fine if you're not interested in the story, but that's all the show has ever been about and it's kinda your fault for not paying attention.", "Tbh from the footage alone... this could have just been the previous season. Like for a second I thought this was all one big flash back or something. Then I realized it was footage from the new season.", "The last book is coming out in a couple weeks, ask people after that if the authors stuck the landing or not www.goodreads.com", "One quick note, it's def not repubs vs democrats, it's at least fully pragmatic main characters vs megalomaniacal but still really pragmatic and effective villians. seriosuly, I can't think of a single character in this series who's as boring as our real life villains.\n\nIt's kind of the mark of this kind of fiction: intelligent, pragmatic characters conflicting with each other.", "> your fault for not paying attention.\n\nlmao stfu, they implied that some super powerful ancient alien species is going to come wipe out all of humanity. and that was supposed to be on the back burner? you are way the fuck out of touch LMAO", "I'm not saying it's a back burner problem, it's a back burner story.\n\nThat's why I compared it to real life. Every person on this planet should care about climate change, especially the people in power.\n\nBut most people don't care because they don't see or feel it affecting them. \n\nIn The Expanse, people don't care about the four dimensional imaginary aliens because they don't see them or feel any effect from them. When Belters effectively nuked a quarter of the planet, it's easy to hate them and want to go to war with them.\n\nWhen you hear some random ex-belter named Holden with a controversial past is having schizophrenic visions about aliens, you probably just don't care. There's a good chance that story doesn't even make it to the average person.\n\nBeyond that, in-story, people don't know what the deal is with the aliens or what they want. From what we've seen in the show, we have no clue what their motivation is. They made a space station that connects a bunch of different systems. Holden has random visions of death. That's what we've got in the show. We have no idea if the aliens are real and that they want to kill anyone.", "yeh and all that was great. \n\nbut THEN they introduced an ancient alien species that wiped out all life int he galaxy and now knows humans exist, which means the ONLY relevant topic to any of those humans alive SHOULD BE: WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO FUCKING DIE\n\npolitics at that point is a fuckin joke. the writers FUCKED UP. period. they FAILED to keep the focus on the human conflict, and instead now it looks like a bunch of morons arguing among themselves about petty shit WHILE THE END OF HUMANITY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER\n\nwhatever they were trying to do with the story completely fucking failed", "> In The Expanse, people don't care about the four dimensional imaginary aliens because they don't see them or feel any effect from them.\n\nYO. they ALL KNOW WITH ABOSLUTELY NO DOUBT, THAT ALL ALIEN LIFE INT HE GALAXY WAS WIPED OUT BY SOME HORRIFICALLY POWERFUL FORCE, AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE JUST KNOCKED ON THE DOOR. \n\nther eis NO other relevant story anymore. period. \n\nIf there was a fuckin alien species threatinging the existence of Earth, right now, in real life, you think Republicans vs Democrats would still be a legitimate topic of interest? GTFO ! \n\nyou are trying too desperately to hold on to your simp train.\n\nExpanse fuckin failed. the writers made terrible decision to introduce a plot that COMPLETELY overshadowed the human politics aspect. thats just a fact.\n\n\"But most people don't care because they don't see or feel it affecting them.\"\n\nEXACTLY WHY IT LOOKS SO FUCKING PETTY! LMAO. THAT is EXACTLY why the humans look like a bunch of morons now and i just cant stand even one fucking second of their petty ignorant inner conflicts now! THEY ARE STUPID!", "You should rewatch the show, man. Maybe take a creative writing class or two. \n\nYes, if aliens were threatening the planet we'd be carving up the earth in feeble attempts to cover our own asses. Why bother saving the whole world when you can save yourself far easier? Of course politics would affect the situation, it affects everything. Nothing, not even real life, devolves to \"Republicans vs Democrats,\" but yes, everything in life comes down to conflicting motives and desires. You can see dozens of real life examples. You're currently living in the middle of one! A global pandemic that has killed millions had an incredibly simple and straightforward path for being dealt with yet it has been eclipsed by petty political squabbles. Climate change will end us in a couple of centuries and no one is taking direct, dramatic action. \n\nI'm not simping for the show, I agree it's not the best show ever, but your grievances towards the show are because you have a smooth brain and not because of any legitimate complaints. Yeah, it might be cool for the show to turn into Star Wars and have some crazy epic alien battles or whatever but that's just not what the show is about. It's about the Rocinante and its' crew. In real life, a single patrol ship full of a dozen people doesn't have that grand of an effect on the universe. They certainly couldn't hold off a threat as big as the aliens. \n\nALSO, you're trying to shit on the show's writing but you haven't even seen the season yet haha. Have you considered that, maybe, the trailer is downplaying the whole alien thing because they want it to hit harder? Or maybe the show is making the point you're making: while everyone was fucking around with the crazy terrorists, the aliens are coming to kill us and the show is a grim warning that humans need to stop being idiots. \n\nThe humans in the show are just like us. Most people don't care about existential threats. It's just reality. Go touch some grass.", "> The humans in the show are just like us. Most people don't care about existential threats.\n\nyeh EXACTLY! Most people are incredibly narcissistic and STUPID! and i absolutely hate the \"drama\" of modern human life because its insanely PETTY and outrageously bigotted and altogether a fuckin Tragedy, and thats why i like SciFi because it offers a way to ESCAPE from the shit show that is real life human conflict. \n\nI know a lot of people still get hard by reading the news, but all it does for me is make me hate humans and hate this planet. When they introduced the deep alien aspect, it made me FAR MORE excited about the story, and the idea that they are gonna throw it in the trash is super disappointing TO ME. and honestly i dont give a fuck how anyone else feels about it, MY feelings arent going to change on the subject lol. I am absolutely allowed to have my opinion, no one can tell me im \"WRONG\", you can only tell me you disagree, and thats perfectly fine. im glad you find something to enjoy in the content, its not going to change my perception of it though lol\n\nas far as im concerned they screwed up.", "Your opinion can absolutely be wrong. I know you live in a bubble, it's not hard to tell by your other comments, but brace yourself for the real world, kid. \n\nIf your opinion is founded on something stupid, or untrue, it can be wrong. Sure you're *entitled to maintain it*, but that doesn't make it less wrong. \n\nIf I said \"I'm not a fan of chocolate, it tastes too salty.\" Sure, I'm entitled to continue hating chocolate. But that opinion that it's too salty is wrong, chocolate doesn't have salt in it. \n\nEnd of the day, you're making assumptions based on the trailer. That's like deciding a 400 page book is bad because you read the two paragraphs on the back.", ">Your opinion can absolutely be wrong.\n\ntell that to a transgender person. you are out of fucking touch.\n\nand also ive watched the entire fucking thing so you are stupid. and im also bored of this. bye bye", ">chocolate doesn't have salt in it\n\n​\n\nand this is also wrong. christ you really live in a bubble yourself dude\n\nliterally 7 mg of sodium per oz on google. do you even fucking TRY?\n\n[https://www.google.com/search?q=choclate+salt](https://www.google.com/search?q=choclate+salt)", "I agree, but they're definitely setting something exciting up with that final scene! (Strange Dogs) Could be a follow-up film.", "If you've read the books, that is an even more interesting prospect!", "No, I don't even want them to try to wrap that part up in just 6 episodes. Too much happens! :(", "Yes! Fuck Cas Anvar, obviously for what he did most of all, but also for depriving TV viewers from ever getting that scene.", "Can't afford it, too busy playing fake cowboy astronaut.", "I was just thinking about that— Amazon seeking the grandest way to make their brand, they would totally make it a “blockbuster” movie….. I’d be okay with that if its well made. The only other thing I could see happening is they just butcher the plot and change the rolls of the antagonists… and that’d be an upsetting ending.", "Same =[", "Didn't know about Memory's Legion, just pre-ordered it. Thanks!", "No problem and this set is the first time any of the novellas have been in print (except Drive, the first novella, which was printed as a standalone The Expanse teaser).", "last season was so bad who cares anymore", "Season 5 was one per week, so I'd presume it'll follow the same release schedule.", "Thanks, I'll keep waiting then.

Some of it was also linked to homophobia, as AIDS was originally called GRID, gay-related immune deficiency, because it had spread through the gay population, but the name was changed in 1982. A lot of people worried it could be spread through casual contact and this misconception was dealt with in this episode. \n\nThere was one situation where the [Ray family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_brothers) had three hemophiliac sons who contracted HIV from blood transfusions. They had to go to federal court to allow the boys to attend public school. A week after the decision was made to allow them into school, arsonists burned down their house. They had to move to a different town where they continued to face opposition to their attendance at school. Currently one of the three sons is still alive.

As in \"don't have sex or you'll get AIDS and die and go to hell for being a sinner, look at these gross pictures. It's the wages of sin the gays and fornicators deserve.\"", "I was 11 at the time when I saw this, and I don't think people who didn't live through the late 80s/90s understand what stigma AIDS had. I still have a huge fear of stepping on a needle and contracting AIDS despite knowing it is irrational.\n\nAlso we had a person with AIDS give a presentation at our school as a 'Just Say No' campaign to drugs and sex. I don't remember what he said other than 'don't share needles' and don't have sex. In hindsight I think it was probably a condition of his parole that he give this sort of speech. I wonder now if that would be a form of coercion.", "[Ryan White](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_White) had it a little better.

Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, \"Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?\" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, \"Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.\" And we … kill those people. \"Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.\" It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”", "Alex Jones you to be so much more slim.", "Or if you rather, [Tool](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vc9Mz2tfHM) eulogized him in song.", "Yes! \n\nThank you for sharing!" ]

Scenes that don't show up, characters in places they never went in the final cut. If you saw Eternals, the trailers practically lied about what the conflict of the film would be. \n\nThere is no guarantee that the spell Strange appears to cast will be the actual cause of the main conflict. I do hope that the truth makes more sense than the trailers make it seem.", "Yeah, both those movies suck and I think Garfield was written as a terrible Parker and a terribly irresponsible Spider-Man. But Andrew Garfield deserves to be in a good Spider-Man movie, and his suit in the second movie was great, his theme is great. Plus, even if we don’t like those movies, those are someone’s Spider-Man because they were nine when they came out and they were the greatest thing they ever saw.

When he’s already redeemed.", "On what are you basing that assumption? You could just as easily say that the people who have seen the earlier movies more *recently* (tweens and younger) are more likely to be interested in seeing the villains' return, because the hype is fresher.\n\nOnce again I'll use my 12 year old son as an example: he's very hyped to see the return of Doc Ock — his favorite villain from the older movies.", "Strange is cocky as hell. He'd absolutely try to do something potentially catastrophic as long as he thought he could do it", "Well I guess you’re in luck. No more trailers are going to be released.", "It's definitely Mephisto.

They can make a Spider-Man movie with several returning villains work.", "I don't think Skrulls get the complete memories of the people that they copy. Not in the MCU anyway.", "And now it's the Home trilogy. Even if they make another Spiderman movie with Tom Holland, it'll be a new saga (not reboot) and it'll drop the \"Home\" names", "there's nothing wrong with having too much crammed in if you don't know how to handle it. Disney-Marvel has consistently shown they can handle team ups really well and make it work.\n\nLook at JL vs JL: Snyder Cut. The first one was absolute ass while the Snyder Cut made it work.", "They definitely get some of the memories, but they're not perfect.", "But they could literally post a different video for the ad than the official trailer video.", "because Otto Octavius is actually funny...", "could be the multi-verse travel fucked up his memory or something", "Just like what we saw in What If?, Doctor Strange is VERY arrogant and will do risky stuff, no matter how many warnings he gets.", "Ehh, I wouldn’t say he took a gamble. As long as he followed every step that the winning timeline required, they would be destined to win. Besides, he probably saw that NOT giving Thanos the time stone would cause them to lose.", "I sooooo wish that studios would go away from giving SO MUCH up in trailers.

Tremendous list of examples", "ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.\n\nZero interest in 2 hour cgi fight scenes with zero story.", "I'm holding out hope that the after credit scene will be an appearance by Fire Lord.", "Yeah I watched like initial teaser and I am not watching anything else till the movie", "Dr. Octavious, doc ock, Dr octopus, he has 8 limbs", "I still don’t get it.", "Did you watch the trailer?", "I’ve watched this like 5 times. I’m absolutely turgid.", "Showing him in a trailer would be like showing cap withering mjolnir.", "Lmao everyone said they’d save Tobey and Andrew conformation for this trailer \n\nNow the panic begins", "There’s a difference between having characters in a movie and introducing characters in a movie. Everyone in this trailer we’ve seen before.", "Look at the hilarious pretzel logic you guys keep bending around to sustain hope your theories and dreams aren’t just the work of the internet getting carried away lmao when the teasers came it was “they’re saving that for the trailer duh just like civil war with Spider-Man” now it’s “they’re saving it for the movie, going against all business logic and mcu tradition”\n\nImagine how nervous Feige was when online rumors suddenly had Tobey and Andrew in this when they clearly were never meant to be from the start", "Schrodinger's Spider-Man", "you got that link? if im wrong, i wanna see it", "I want Emma Stone as Spider Gwen", "Because 90% of the marvel universe is created for tweens and younger. Why do i feel like im taking crazy pills here. \n\nThe watchmen, deadpool, outlaw comic, garth ennis books, and titles like that are targeting adults. Spiderman is clearly targeted to the under dating age. Toys, Halloween costumes, cartoons, comics ect are directed towards kids.\n\nAgain, not that adults can't enjoy these products, im an adult and enjoy these products. But i doubt kids scrutinize the teaser trailers as intensely as adults.", "Just rewatched both Toby's and Andrew's series.\n\nAndrew's Spider-Man is the best, imo. And I actually really like his Peter, though I do concede it's a different Peter. He's more a cool loner, as opposed to Andrew's complete nerd. Tom Holland's Peter is kind of a cool, but not popular kid too though, to be fair. But even if it's less comic accurate, as someone who works with high school students daily, Andrew feels way more like a real human than Toby's. I appreciated that realism.\n\nPlus, showing Toby's Peter being smart, was him just saying the word \"quantum\" and being a keener in class. Seeing Andrew's Peter solve equations, and actually engineer and craft his technology was nice. I want to see he's smart, not just be told he's supposedly smart.\n\nAlso, the villain writing in Amazing Spider-Man was... subpar (and villain designs, too, but that's a whole other issue, and in part because they are based on Ultimate counterparts, imo, but, again, another issue) but the Peter's personal life plots are actually written surprisingly well. They carry a lot of depth and don't pull punches.\n\nAndrew's writing didn't hold up as well as I hoped. \nThey are very cheesey and corny and campy, but also the pacing and plot is kind of, \"and now the villain attacks\". There's less depth, imo, and the motives are pretty superficial or lacking. In fact, rewatching, them, I think I actually enjoyed Spider-Man 3 the best, because despite that atrocious club scene where Peter is dancing on the piano... the villains are much more intricately laid out and, and the stories interweave better than I remembered. Added more layers and motivations.", "Ok so the majority of people swept up by the Rami films, read the Stan Lee, Ditko books when they first came out?", "Emo Toby - oof. I don't even mind the finger guns in the street. The whole idea is Peter thinks he's cool, but he has no idea what cool is and it's cringey. But that song and dance number in the bar... what the heck...\n\nTopher Grace Venom - he's a black symbiote, sure, but the movie and that character are so much better if you tell yourself it's not actually Venom, just simply a black symbiote.\n\nJames Franco Goblin - it was alright... His snowboarder dude/Matrix-style getup was a style of the times. Doesn't age amazing, but I can at least *accept* it\n\nDane DeHaan Goblin - if they *only* introduced Harry in the first movie, he wouldn't have felt so forced and rushed. We had no connection to him, and he just felt like a whiny, entitled brat who doesn't know how to interact with people (which I mean, he is, but there should be some redeeming qualities that make him Peter's bestfriend). His fall from grace and turning on Peter meant nothing because we didn't even know Peter knew who he was until 20minutes before. Majorly dropped the ball on that one, and I think was largely studio interference trying to set up Sinister Six for the future, and needing a springboard. But seriously, have Harry come home in the first movie because Norman was dying, just like it is in the second movie, but instead let Harry and Peter be friends, *then* have the faceturn in the second. Would be so much more effective.\n\nBlue Electro - Sony - trying to distance themselves from Maguire's films - went with Ultimate designs... bleh. What a shame. Blue electro, and the over the top caricature of Max Dillon were a major swing a miss. But same reason they went with the mechsuit Rhino, and the biological-deformation goblin.\n\nRhino - It was meant to just be a tease at the time. He was supposed to be in the next movie/the Sinister Six movie. Those clearly got canned, leaving his tease, at best, just that.", "I just want Emma Stone.", "We knew they were coming lol At least they're hiding the other Spider-men.", "> They are saving the Spideys reveal for a HUGE moment\n\n\"on your left\"", "We're talking about who this trailer makes the film look like it was designed for.\n\nA lot of the people who want to see Doctor Octopus, specifically played by Alfred Molina, or Green Goblin played be Dafoe... probably never read any of the comics at all. \n\nI think the inclusion of villains (and possibly heroes) from the older films was aimed squarely at fans of those films. I believe the biggest concentration of such fans, is among those who saw the films around the time they came out.\n\nThe first film did $820 million at the box office. DVD and VHS sales reached $428 million by 2004. By 2006 the grand total for box office and home video sales was 1.5 billion.\n\nYou show me anything reaching those numbers after 2006 and I'll eat my words.\n\nWe can do a similar break down for every film if you'd like. But I promise its all the same. More people saw these films when they first came out. Which makes it very likely that there are more fans among them than there are kids who dusted off their parent's copy and fell in love with it.\n\nI mean I could be wrong. Maybe 95% of the people who saw those movies when they came out hated them and every single 12 year old who watched them last year for the first time, thought they were the best movies ever.\n\nI doubt it though, and I doubt they went this direction with the plot in order to include them... to appeal to tweens and younger. Many of which have never seen those films. \n\n\nAnyway, it was really just a casual observation and opinion. If you want to spend your time deconstructing it, have fun.", "Also, I think because of the rumors about multiple spider men maybe No way home is referencing how multiple universes can't be located on map.", "We could do a similar comparison to the star wars franchise. Adults who fell in love with episode 4 when i came out were crazy excited for episode 1's release. And the franchise were banking on nostalgia of the older fans to boost box office numbers.\n\nBut Lucas freely admits episode1 was targeting tweens and younger. It was a movie made for children. \n\nSo many films found a fan base after theatrical releases. Princes bride comes to mind. \n\nYou seem hell bent on sticking to your guns here. The new spider-man movies are targeted to the 20 years and up crowd, which blows my mind anyone could reach that conclusion.\n\n I freely admit that i dont have numbers or sources to site otherwise other than its a character that plays off children's imagination. More kids have spider-man underwear, bedsheets and back packs then collage age folks.\n\nKids today know the Rami films and love them just as much as the kids who were around to see them in theaters.", "Really?

Your online persona seems so negative, maybe take a break from the internet for a bit.", "> As long as he followed every step that the winning timeline required, the movie and its sequel would instantly cease to have any tension because we know it's all according to the plan.\n\nfixed that for ya", "Pretty naive to think he is not in it. There are several shots where it is clear there multiple Spider-Men in the shot but were removed for the trailer.", "Deus Ex Machina does not mean what you think it means. It is established at the begging of the story that characters are travelling between dimensions so if good guys also happen to show up it is now deus ex machina at all. Also there is 0 chance they don't show until the climax, that would be terrible writing.", "I bet they write it off sloppily with some little scene about how it's part of the 14,000,605 outcomes of Infinity War, and use it to shoehorn a little mentor/protege relationship with Dr. Strange replacing Tony Stark as a surrogate-surrogate-father to Peter for future films.", "Cool.", "The way the suit is designed looks like Tobey maguire spider man, figured it had to be a symbiote since he never used any other suit in the films", "I mean I'm trying to forget, I was hoping Doc Ock was going to be a full bad guy in this one, I didn't want the spoiler from this trailer", "Oh yeah I see what you mean.

Sweden for example has the MOST charitable welfare system in the world. They have free education, free healthcare, free everything and now look at them. It's only certain races who can't live like actual proper civilised humans. If you want to talk about race then talk about that. Only certain races of people need to be \"integrated\". Only certain races of people refuse to \"integrate\" aka act like proper humans. These races are responsible for the vast vast majority of violent crime and sex crime and honor crime and organised crime and terrorism and fraud and muggings, etc etc regardless of having all the fucking available wealth. \n \nTalk about that then. \n \n> ou just need to scroll down a couple tweets \n \nDon't give a flying fuck about your tweets, murican.", "And how many genes do we share with fruit flies?

He literally converted grand wizards and dozens if not hundreds of hatful minds to see the error of their ways. The lesson here really isn't even about specifically about racism, rather using compassion, tolerance and treating your fellow human beings with good intentions rather than starting off one based on judgement, hate, anger, contempt, etc.\n\nYou're confusing that the idea here is to to eradicate racism completely just as it would be silly to say we're all going to end jealously. The only incompetence here is the inability to see past the illusions and judgements we all easily cling to in ur heads that make it much easier to label, condemn, judge, persecute and categorize people in our own moral indignation." ]
