I hope it gets unlocked soon, but I can't blame the mods if they choose to wait a while.

To my recollection it's only happened once or twice before. They'll most likely have it unlocked by tomorrow.

Regarding the Monster Hunter movie, changing stuff is what Hollywood does. They take something that looks cool, and buy the movie rights. Then some executive says "Hey, I think it'd have more mass appeal if we added a cute animal sidekick/American setting/dabbing teenager/whatever." So they add that, and then a boss decides that something is too complicated, so it's dumbed down. Then, in order to give it family appeal, it's decided that the brutal action scenes need to be family friendly brutal action scenes... And so on.

[up][up][up]Ironically, I have a feeling that the cute animal sidekicks that are already part of the franchise are going to get the shaft.

Scratching the mosquito bite marks is a bad idea.

Looking at pictures of Komodo dragons on Google Image Search, I was kind of expecting its teeth to stick out more.

I'd expect its tongue to stick out rather than its teeth ngl.

You know how superhero comics, TV shows and movies sometimes make little jabs at the ridiculousness of the superhero genre? Those are usually funny individually, but as a whole they make me wonder why the people who write them even get involved in superhero writing.

You can poke fun at something and still love it.

I get into constant discussion about the inherent problems and logic bombs of the super hero genre. I also love Justice League Unlimited to death and will watch the Christmas special every year.

I pondered about that myself. It feels like making fun of superhero cliches has become so common and prevalent that eventually it became a cliche itself. Would that be a funny version of He Who Fights Monsters? tongue

Beware the Superman is also tired btw.

Anyway, I like local superheroes, like "street-level" superheroes and supervillains. With powers that can at best demolish a large building but that takes effort and energy, that's about it.

On that note, have you noted how there are almost zero non-ironic superhero webcomics?

[up][up] Yeah, it's like very often a superhero webcomic is made, it's almost always a parody or a Deconstruction.

There is a Webtoon on, well, Webtoonsnote  (I think it's either on hiatus or was moved to Discover, I think the author got sick?) called Supersonic Girl that plays it straight. Some would argue a bit too straight, but it's a pretty good time anyway. It's a bit refreshing to see superheroes played straight as a webcomic.

Also, there was a supervillain contest that was a lot of fun and my design took 4th place, but that's not why I started reading it, I'M NOT BIASED SHADDAP.

[up]Yeah, you're right. I thought Spinnerette pretty good when it first got started, but now it feels like it's running out of steam. ^_^;;

Speaking of fiction, since we're getting more into the season for horror movies, here's a random thought I've been pondering about for a while now.

The CinemaSins guy says he likes the ending of Krampus and even took a sin off for it because, as he put it, "it's not happy!" Well, not to burst his bubble or anything, but most horror movies as a rule don't have happy endings. What makes that one so special?

@Deme:

Watchmen?

My kind of "superhero" would be someone like the The Doom Slayer. He doesn't need superpowers, or have moral qualms killing his enemies. He slays demons, he rips and tears demons.

FPS protagonists are a special bunch. It's fun to be a One-Man Army killing evil badguys, that are less humans and more like monsters, aliens, demons, supernatural, etc.

It has been a week, and I still can't upload any avatars. I tried doing every fix I could think of (including changing my timezone and back), but the "Submit" button simply does nothing from me.
