I think we need Superman now more than ever.

Not Snyder’s version.

Not any of the evil or deconstructed ones.

imagine telling someone 15 years ago that a Guardians of the Galaxy movie would be an obvious moneymaker, but a Superman movie would be risky.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Though I still wish they had the Spin. That was in SuMo.
They probably didn’t want to put too much effort into the actual Trainer’s taunts since they’re sitting in the background, kind of out of the picture in a high speed match.

not expecting anyone to have interest but if you want more music look at the cool **** i found

A lot of my friends don't like this song, probably because of the last minute of it, but I like it.

Been thinking about this a lot and can't get the thought out of my head until I find some form of answer. Sorry if I'm being annoying.
What is the point of starting a TV Show or game series when the ending is in sight? I'm not saying I don't do it, I'm asking why we do it. If there's something we enjoy, why do we get so attached to it when you know it will be over eventually and it will be like it never mattered? Especially after devoting so much time to it.

So, just to vent this out there a little bit I’m kind of upset about the whole anti-cop movement going around right now after a certain occurrence today. My cousin, his name’s Trey, one of the nicest dudes you’ll ever meet is a police officer. My little town is pretty quiet and the city just a town over he polices is also pretty quiet. He had only done a few parking tickets, a couple speed warnings (not tickets), and a single ticket for running a red light but he was about ready for lunch and... just because he’s a cop, even though he’s probably the nicest cop, the Taco Bell he went to just wouldn’t serve him. This was after he had sat in the line for 10 minutes because it was rather busy and ordered his food patiently. When he got up to the window they wouldn’t accept his payment and wouldn’t serve him his food. The dude really didn’t deserve that. I know a lot of cops are bad guys but humans still gotta eat and my cousin was just trying to grub on his break.

My cousin ended up getting a call just after leaving to investigate a disturbance and just didn’t get to eat today. So, yeah, I know this occurrence is very rare but it really hit me hard. He was just doin his job. It’s how he provides for his wife and kid. Cut him some slack, man.

Rant over, I guess.

The frick? Officers used to get discounts, now they're refusing to serve them just so they can stay relevant and stay on the protestor's side? That isn't okay.

I'm sorry, but that's unacceptable. If I just refused service to people at my job, I'd be fired.

Call corporate.

Also, some cops are bad, yes, some abuse their power, but there have been plenty that have saved lives. Holding them to a stricter code to truly protect and serve is the answer, not endlessly harass them. People are overgeneralizing. But people are people, and one injustice just leads to another because that's how our world just ****ing works I guess.

People need to grow up and learn to play nice.

A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts.

Sometimes a great story with an ending is just good. Like, when a creator and their team gets to tell a story and bring characters to life and then end it the way they want to, on their own terms ends up being a much better experience for the viewer than something that loses itself and its voice by over-staying its welcome.

I would like her more if she didn't feel forced in the P5 story.


That Ryu face is his reaction to Capcom refusing to let street fighter 5 die.
I respectfully disagree with you. I think they worked her in quite naturally outside of her being put in a few scenes as a reminder that she's new. Especially during the new ending, they really expanded on her arc quite well. It has a satisfying payoff and she's just... the perfect match for Joker, in my opinion.

Thing is, her arc is closely tied with the other new confidant, Maruki, so they kind of have to put her on full display to get the most out of it. And as the end of the main game gets closer and closer and you get ready to face the new challenges, her inclusion feels more and more natural.

I mean, you could say the exact same thing about Maruki being "forced" into it.

That I understand. What I mean is: a show cannot possibly last forever, meaning every show ends. So what is the point of watching them as much as we do? Sure, the show can still be good with it's ending, but it will still be over.

Entertainment? I don't understand the question. We watch shows and play games because we enjoy them and want to see where they go.

You're not wrong. But constantly changing your form of entertainment? Finishing one and then moving on?
Sounds boring as heck. Is that really how it is? Because it's never seemed normal to me.

It provides closure and a shows with a satisfying ending will always he superior to shows that refuse to ****ing end. There's only so much you can do in a story, look at the Simpsons, a beloved classic which has become a husk of itself, the writing's lost it's wit and edge but it's still trucking despite being completely soulless

You're right. I'm just over thinking stuff again.

Anyways, it's pretty late here. I'm gonna head to sleep. Direct tmw?

You could’ve stopped here to be honest. You enjoy things while they last. That’s kind of just how everything works. As depressing as it is that’s how relationships work. That’s how family works. You only have so much time with anything. Just enjoy it.

It may be cliche to say, but a good show will stick with you, even long after its over.

What's so boring about finishing one thing and finding something different? Variety is the spice of life.
