He’s an idiot sure, but he’s FAR from being an asshole. I’m referring to the cases when they’re put together like (modern) Peter Griffin or Lao Beifong

To be fair Lao was basically an antagonist of his show. I don't think you're supposed to like him.

Not like Peter Griffin who is one of the main characters of his.

It's a cartoon! They can do whatever the hell they like! If you do that in real life you go to jail!

They can do whatever they want, but that doesn't mean they aren't exempt from criticism.

Popular media not only reflects our culture, but it can have an effect on our values as well. I'm not going to make more extreme claims like blaming violence on video games or anything, but if we accepts that media has the power to teach people good lessons then we have to acknowledge that it has the power to teach them bad ones as well.

The terrible idiot dad and to a lesser extent The Sony Sad Dad ™ are both tired. (At least sad dads when done well have good and interesting characters arcs and stories.)

Embrace supportive, kind and other good dads.

Are there any good guides on Brawl/PM mod creation?

I don't know about any guides, but I did try to offer help a week or so ago, which got ignored. So I thought you had moved on.

What's your point here? We're all aware it's fictional, does that mean people aren't allowed to criticize it?

I would.

If I ever had one.

 

[cashregister9]

I would.

If I ever had one.

Oh **** I should have clarified that I meant in fiction. I'm very sorry if I stepped on some toes here, that was not my intention.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

We’re finishing up with the original seven, after which things will start to get way more interesting! Next up is Aquaman.

primarily based off of Jason Mamoa’s take on the character. Totally because I wanted to be more diverse and not because Jason Mamoa’s Aquaman is my husbando or anything.What do you mean I drew him so it looks like he has a huge ****?

I also gave him that water hand he was rocking for a while in the comics. Feels really useful and works with my characterization of him as a bodacious swashbuckling well-travleled adventurer.

Relax lol, s'all good.

 

[Pokelego999]

The British have such passion when they speak! Americans used to, but now... yeah... you get the point. There's a difference between British and American writing.

I find British shows to be far more enjoyable for similar reasons. I'm a sucker for the stuff.

 

[Wademan94]

I know it’s a joke, but I legit hate the whole “It’s a cartoon” excuse for any reason

Criticize it all you want! I'm mega-aware that the trope in question has gone down in recent years.

Question for someone who actually knows DC: how is Cyborg both a member of the Teen Titans and the Justice League? was there a retcon?

I believe he left the Teen Titans before joining the Justice League.
Then again I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to DC Comics.

 

[PeridotGX]

I don't know about any guides, but I did try to offer help a week or so ago, which got ignored. So I thought you had moved on.

I'm sorry about that. I have really sporadic interests, my interest in brawl modding will probably go away again in the next week or two.

 

[dezeray112]

I find British shows to be far more enjoyable for similar reasons. I'm a sucker for the stuff.

If it is somewhere back in the 90's, British shows were far more better than what we got today in my opinion.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

sees a bunch of spring breakers being total crazy *****es causing violence, not wearing masks, and most horrifyingly (trigger warning) sexually assaulting and killing a woman

... haha I hate my state

 

[Lamperouge]

Having a bad day like me anyone? Here's the main theme to Laid Back Camp:

Now take a breather for two minutes while this relaxes you.

I'm gonna go make some good food. Ramen and sliced chicken of course.

Never stopped to listen to this track on its own before but I must say that it's actually quite nice and calm inducing.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

England caused America, but nowadays, England is better than America socially.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In Minecraft I'm making a cave spider mob system and I couldn't figure out how to get them up properly. They got stuck.

So, for influence I went all the way back to 2011 and made the mobivator from "Etho". It works

Maybe there is better systems by now but it's fine and I'm old school.

Hahahahahaha!

Clearly this guy has not met someone from the UK IRL.

Jury's out on that one kid. I'd pay attention to what's going on with that side of the Atlantic where I'm based.

Oh definitely British shows were a lot better back in those days. And some I really need to watch again.

Do feel a lot more samey. Nowadays it just feels like the same as the American shows but 10% less bombast and different accents and for that, I blame the X Factor and those shows.

 

[Megadoomer]

Question for someone who actually knows DC: how is Cyborg both a member of the Teen Titans and the Justice League? was there a retcon?

Cyborg started out as a member of the Teen Titans. There was a universe-wide reboot in 2011, after the Flash travelled through time (called the New 52), and as a result of that, Cyborg became a founding member of the Justice League in that rebooted universe.

Though it would be entirely possible for him to be on multiple teams at the same time - that can happen, like with Wolverine from Marvel comics (to the point where they've mocked the idea).

Yeah, it's a retcon.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Cyborg is also a member of the Super Friends.

I’mma just gonna leave this here with no context and peace for a bit. Cya

To answer number one: You're right on that one.
Number two: There's a mass shooting almost every day in America. More people serving life sentences there too.

 

[TheMightyP]

Florida?

England caused America, but nowadays, England is better than America socially.

No it's not.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Florida?

Yup, it’s that...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

To answer number one: You're right on that one.
Number two: There's a mass shooting almost every day in America. More people serving life sentences there too.

They banned guns in the UK and now they have stabbings every day. And you can get arrested for having a butter knife.

Not only that, they have cameras EVERYWHERE. Their security costs them their freedom of privacy.

Huh, didn't actually know that. I guess everything in Britain is less-well documented than 'Murica.

 

[TheMightyP]

Yup, it’s that...

Yeah, sadly people are dumbasses, which Florida happens to be dumbass central for some reason.

Like, I'm seeing posts and stories of people from Illinois (my home state) going to Miami Beach, like are you ****ing stupid? You're gonna die.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Which country is "better" or "worse" isn't a competition guys...

They banned guns in the UK and now they have stabbings every day.

So people are using much less lethal weapons? Huh, sounds like gun control worked.

 

[PeridotGX]

Britain seems a bit better. I'm not gonna say it's perfect, but they have free healthcare over there so that's a big thing in their favor.

the grass is always greener on the other side, though.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

My youngest cousin asked me like an hour ago while playing Smash "Is that Ryu from Fortnite?" And i just blankly stared at him because this question actually put a halt to my current train of thought at the time

Rise of English Nationalism, increase of crimes, two of the four countries pushing for independence/reunification cause of how London ****ed half the country over to leave the EU, ongoing crisis about vaccines so that Boris can act like a big man to the EU.

Oh and where I am specifically, paramilitaries are withdrawing support for a 25 year old peace agreement for now I think.

The UK has just as much problems than the US.

Again jury is out on that one. You are right about the guns though but the cameras are only in the city centre.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'd rather be shot than stabbed to death. Horribly painful and slow. IMO

and the killings didn't stop.

 

[TheMightyP]

I never understood the mentality if the "At least we're not the US!" when the same countries claiming that statement have the exact same problems or worse.

Only difference is that America's are more severe. The crime rate is higher, people are waaaaaaay more stupid the further south you go, and American patrotism is more radical than British patriotism.

 

[Shroob]

Well

Could be worse


At least we're not Atlantis.

You think the US is the only country with a "South"? The UK is not JUST London

 

[TheMightyP]

Well

Could be worse


At least we're not Atlantis.

Look, I'm not saying Atlantis is real, but nobody is really able to chart the bottom of the ocean, so how would we knkw that it doesn't exist?
