So on an related note. For everyone that's seen all three. Which of the MonsterVerse movies did you like the best?

TBH due to bias speaking I can't choose and like all three the same granted Kong: Skull Island I found to be more fun in terms of an giant monster romp as with King of the Monsters.

Though King of the Monsters made me appreciate the 2014 film more as what the Alien was to the 2014 film is what Aliens is to King of the Monsters.

That said though can't wait for Godzilla vs. Kong and best part about that is I have to wait for less then an year! :grin:

Godzilla is masterful, and my vote for the best. It is the least "fun" though, with its constant teasing and build-ups.
Skull Island is awesome. Colorful and has some really creative ideas while also being able to make me laugh a bit too.
King of the Monsters is a Showa-era Godzilla film with a huge American budget, and has all the strengths and weaknesses that entails. As a G-fan I love it to bits. Also adore the painting-esque way they frame the kaiju before the fights start.

All three are made by guys that love the franchise, and it shows. For that I love them all.

>My mood right now:


I just...can't believe they might actually go this far.

I hope for Noipoi's sake DreamWorks never considers making an live-action HTTYD.

Hulk vs Hulkbuster was great, but the whole thing with Scarlet Witch and Vision was just weird, and they can keep Vision dead lol.

I don't care that this was almost 50 minutes ago, I will NOT tolerate ****-talk about Scarlet Witch and Vision. That is straight out of the comics and part of my childhood when I was still reading those.

Guess who's back!

I know I said I was going to be back Tuesday but my work shift is going to be awful tomorrow so I decided I'd cut my little experiment short and make my return post today. For those who didn't hear, I felt like I was wasting a lot of time on social media and that fandom drama was constantly ruining my enjoyment of the things I liked, so I tried cutting myself off from it for a week (well 6 days I guess) to see how it'd effect me.

It pretty hard. A lot of the time I'd type "smashboards" or "reddit" into the address bar without thinking about it, but I'd catch and correct myself. It took a lot of self control to stay away from here though.

I'll be trying to be on Smashboards a little less now. Don't worry though, most of you won't notice the difference. I didn't post a ton before because I was often using my time on here to catch up with the thread, now I'm going to worry about being fully caught up less. I'll be cutting down my time spent on Reddit as well. I'll probably check out subreddits I like maybe once a day for fan art and maybe a killer meme or two but won't just mindlessly scroll through it when I'm bored anymore. Twitter was my least used form of social media of the three but it was the one that felt both the most mindnumbing and toxic, at least from my experience. Definitely cutting it out of my life for the most part.

As for what I did with the time I wasn't spending on social media...

- I went and caught a shiny Charmander (and interrupted my break to tell you guys).

- I bingewatched a show called The Dragon Prince. I probably never would have tried it if I hadn't barred myself from social media and I'm glad I did. I do think the CG animation can be a bit jarring but it serves its purpose during action scenes and most of the characters are really likable. It didn't blow my mind as the best show ever or anything but I'll be keeping an eye out for Season 3.

- I got Wolf into Elite Smash. I had actually been trying to get Ike and Ridley into there for a while to no avail but yesterday it just worked.

- It feels cheesy to say this but I did a little meditating during work breaks or while waiting at bus stops. I'm not spiritual by any meaning of the word but as I've mentioned before I'm kind of an anxious person, so clearing my mind and relaxing can help me feel a little less tense, at least in the short term.


I didn't try as many new things as I intended to but money is a little tight at the moment and even a 20$ indie game is looking pricey to me right now.
