I think clowns that are suppose to be scary tend to be funny, while the ones that are suppose to be friendly are usually frightening.

speaking of which, that new ducktales was pretty good.

It had some great character development for a certain triplet. I didn't expect this, not this early at least. It was really nice, and was an overall great start for the season, too. It's set the bar pretty high, imo.

Admittedly I had more conflicting thoughts on Louie than either of his two brothers, whom I definitely liked. Still liked Louie, just somewhat less than the others, mainly for his usual attitude. The season premiere put yet another side of him that was already hinted at and even sometimes shown in smaller amounts until now. It won me over. I like Louie a lot more now.

Are clowns scary?

Well, everyone's scared of something.

Personally I find fear of clowns overrated, I can see it stemming from Uncanny Valley but they generally don't feel uncanny enough to me unless they're trying really, really hard to meet that mark. Like. . .it's a guy in face paint. Heck I even briefly considered becoming a clown at one point at a kid. . .unfortunately it turns out clowning as an industry is pretty much going extinct. Probably due to all these cowards, now I'll have to twist all these balloons into dogs by myself you jerks.

That said Hisoka IS scary, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with him being a clown and everything to do with him being a sadomasochistic pedophilic serial killer. You can make anything horrific with that set of traits.

I definitely agree its a really great start for the season. I also really like this line:

Scrouge: Your not best friends' your family!"

Which was a really nice call back to the second to last episode of season 1 where he said webby wasn't family. They made amends in the finale, but this was good to have true acknowledgement of that.

I fear friendly clowns the same way I fear mascot characters and furry costumes.

What's scarier is that he has the skill and dedication to back it up. Luckily though as long as you don't have power he won't have reason to hunt you down unless you try to charge at him like a dumb dumb.

[Idon]

Well Gon and Killua have a crapton of power as well.
In fact, that's the only reason Hisoka even cares about them.

Well, the reason why is more so their potential rather than power. Hence why he doesn't care to challenge them to a series match yet like he does Chrollo.

Yeah, even then, mostly just Gon. Due to his massive potential.

How long will that last? 9 chapters, then Togashi will get distracted again for another 3 years?

See that's the thing, you're all waiting for the anime to resume but there's not enough manga material left to adapt because it keeps going on hiatuses. It's been like that for 4 years...

I figured. I mean, it isn't like I don't want more from the manga, obviously I do since that's more source material and such. More so what I mean is that I'm just bad at keeping track on how long manga is generally. LMAO

Put it this way: Naruto was in serialization for 15 years and ended up with 72 volumes. Hunter x Hunter actually predates Naruto by a year and it's only around 36 or so. If it was any other series it would've been cancelled but since it's Yoshihiro Togashi (who had previous success with Yu Yu Hakusho), they let it slide...

 

[Chrono.]

Togashi has been building up to some crazy stuff with the recent chapters, dude is playing 3D speed chess with the manga at this point.

Sadly though, he's still human and his health is pretty bad. The hiatuses are kinda, sadly, necessary.

I don't really blame anyone for becoming disinterested or dropping it because of that.

I guess stuff like that never really bothers me considering that more of my life has been following the movie industry which can be far more chaotic in terms of this kinds of stuff.

Like the 10 year hiatus of Godzilla movies and general drought of anything Godzilla related. Or even worse was the JP hiatus/drought before JW only for JW to come out and birth lots of controversy.


Also, I find the comparison of manga and western comics to be very interesting. Considering that western comics don't rely so much upon one individual author the way series in manga do. Like you don't need one guy to write the story of spiderman for the rest of his life.

Are clowns scary?

I only found clowns disturbing when they were meant to be disturbing. Like Pennywise or other horror clowns. For the ones that aren't meant to be, I never found them scary, disturbing or otherwise. Like, everybody makes a big deal about Ronald McDonald, but I never found him scary. When artwork or other products make him look disturbing, he does look disturbing and that's because the artwork and products intended to. But in the actual commercials with him, I never found him scary or disturbing. Not even in the Japanese commercials.
Basically, I can understand why people would be disturbed by clowns. It's probably similar to how I feel about mascots/character suits(although I only find them somewhat disturbing when I'm actually up close to them, whereas when they are on TV, I don't have any issue with them). But regardless, I feel some people let their imagination do the seeing for them rather than they see what is in front of them.

Pennywise is the funniest clown, and yes, both live action adaptations. LMAO

At least in Tim Curry's case it was intentional...

It's not exactly as black and white as that.

In short, JUMP sorta 'owe' Togashi for screwing over YYH's final arc and ending. When he finished the Chapter Black arc, Togashi was exploring all possible outcomes for the main characters and came to the conclusion that the best direction was to start deconstructing them. His original plans for the Three Kings arc may have involved a large scale war with Yusuke fully embracing his demonic heritage as he felt there was nothing else for him in the human realm. But JUMP nixed that idea because it'd be too drastic of a shift and Togashi didn't have the energy or mentality to continue the story in such a way that would make him feel like his spinning his wheels. So he ended the series with that arc and in a really haphazard manner.

When he came back with HxH, JUMP was much more lax with him as a way to make up for YYH's rushed and anticlimactic ending. Which may explain the constant hiatuses and how they allowed the Chimera Ant arc to be a thing at all.

I haven't seen the new IT yet, so I haven't seen that Pennywise's performance yet. But I do know of Tim Curry's Pennywise and he was great. But what did you expect? It's Tim Curry. The only man who can out-Muppet the Muppets.

There is one legendary scene from the new one that had me belly laugh so hard the first time I saw it in the theater.

Have you been posting in Splatoon 2 a lot or is that just a common sentiment LOL

Clowns can be scary if done right in a Horror setting, but they're far from being one of my worst fears.

I definitely agree its a really great start for the season. I also really like this line:

Scrouge: Your not best friends' your family!"

Which was a really nice call back to the second to last episode of season 1 where he said webby wasn't family. They made amends in the finale, but this was good to have true acknowledgement of that.

Spoiler

Agreed. I'm glad they did more to finally address that. Given Beakley's considerable knowledge of Scrooge as a person, the sheer lengths he went to try and rescue Della, and her own efforts to bring the McDuck/Duck family back together, I just assumed that she eventually understood that Scrooge was under so much stress and emotional turmoil from the triplets' accusations that he wasn't thinking rationally and only sasid what he did out of anger, and once some time passed, she was willing to let it slide because of that. Webby probably realized that too, given how eager she was to reunite the triplets with Scrooge in the finale despite clearly being hurt herself in the previous episode. Still, I think it needed more attention than it was given in the season one finale, so it's nonetheless pretty great that they finally gave this an author's saving throw. And the moment itself was really sweet, I should add. Dewey and Webby's friendship is just adorable, even more so now that they're truly considered family.

 

[Frizz]

I've been busy.... using FaceApp and slapping the smile filter on various images and memes.

I'd say it's a pretty good use of my time.

 

[Knight Dude]

I forget how much 60's Comic Spider-Man can be a thug. Like that time he beat the **** out of an entire circus act. Or when he was overpowering Kraven the Hunter with just one arm.

Is Hunter x Hunter still in hiatus? It seems like that manga crawls at a snail's pace...

The new joke is that it went from Hiatus X Hiatus to Half Year X Half Year. They've been making enough chapters for a volume, then go on break for 6 months or so before the next batch of chapters to make a volume.

The Walking Dead has been really improving so far this season.

Spoiler

Which makes it a shame that they ruined it further by not only continuing the constant reminders that Rick is gonna leave this season, but by revealing in the previews tonight that he only has two episodes left. So he's not even gonna be in the mid-season finale from the sounds of it.

I think the decisions to confirm the rumors of Andrew Lincoln's departure then constantly hammer in the fact to the show's audience were terrible. This only makes the show worse off. I read an article on Forbes suggesting that they should've denied the rumors or simply refuse to comment on them, and while I don't always agree with their reviews of the show's episodes, I very much agreed with the writer of that article and the points they made. Keep the audience out of the loop on something that's this big of a deal. The storytelling of Rick's now inevitable death (or....disappearance. Maybe he decides to just leave and be on his own for some reason? Maybe that'll happen for Maggie, but with Rick, I seriously doubt it) could come off better and actually be surprising to the audience that way, and it also would've saved the show a lot of damage to it's current ratings and viewership. I'm sure Season 8's zig-zagged writing quality (including Carl's untimely death) affected this season's ratings, but I think the biggest factor in it's decrease is the fact that the audience knows damn well that the main character that they know and love will die no matter what by this season, and AMC won't let them hear the end of it. A lot of people (myself included) are doubting that this show will have a future without Rick Grimes or Andrew Lincoln to portray him, so surely the widespread knowledge of the departure has killed a lot of people's interests in following the show at this point. Many of them probably won't even realize the writing quality has improved considerably any time soon, either, because of that, which is only gonna make it even more difficult for the show to actually regain stronger ratings.

All in all, I'm just upset that Rick is going to go and that Andrew's leaving. What really makes this suck so much is that the show truly has gotten back on track this season so far, especially compared to the last season and much of season 7. Just about everything to do with the show's writing has been so much better than it was previously for quite a while. Despite all it's improvements on that front, which I still expect to see more of as the season goes on, the show is regardless going to have a very hard time surviving without Andrew Lincoln's Rick.

Tonight’s episode wasn’t to bad. The Jadice reveal was good. I’m guessing she is working for the commonwealth, but it also sounds the whispers will be connected to the commonwealth.

No way does a and b not mean alpha and beta.

I’m shocked rick is leaving before the mid season finale. I figured he would die in the finale to setup the show for the next season. I don’t think the show will last. The only way I see it work is if negan reforms like the comics and leads everyone in a way rick would. That would make a really interesting dynamic down the line and can work to better conflict or resolve some.

Ocean side being the saviors killers was kind of dumb. It left no real impact. No one cares for their people loss because it wasn’t shown on screen and oceanside only showed up when convienant so their characters just go nowhere. Maybe they will get more spotlight but we shall see.

I understand why they did it but Maggie and Daryl letting it happen is dumb. Is it kind of justified when the chick they went to kill had no remorse in the past? Yes. But she also changed a bit in the present.

Regardless now all the saviors have no answer to who killed their fellow saviors and the hatred and conflict will escalate way more then it should. And I’m not going to be surprised if it leads to someone’s death.

Hell maybe rick does that way and Maggie and Daryl feel like the assholes they have become. Daryl doesn’t even have much reason to. He is literally the reason glen died and why negan escaped to begin with. The way they write him makes me just hate him as a character. he’s done more harm then good. Maggie has reason at least to feel cold.

But according to Jeffery dean Morgan there’s a really good heart to heart talk he has with Maggie likely next week. So maybe that will change her character.

Lastly for ricks departure I like the theory that maybe he doesn’t die but he’s captured by jadice and sent to the commonwealth.

After all when rick was held up in the junkyard last season his container had an a on It. Now she needs to find an a. So maybe rick gets sent away so that he could come back if Andrew Lincoln wants. It would be smart too as if they get the show back on track it be easy to work rick in again.
