Quiver he/him Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Guys -by which I mean obnoxious denizens of the interwebs, not the guys of the 17th Shard forum- guys. I have problems with the upcoming Fantastic Four movie too. Derogatory comments the director made about Comics!Sue Storm and their pitch for Doom make me wary that this movie will be terrible. I have issues with it. The Human Torch being black is not one of them. Please stop saying that the fact Johnny Storm is the black sibling to a white character is ruining the movie.

Well, it is a little weird they cast Johnny Storm with a black actor... If they had done the reverse, the Internet would in flame right now. However, I am willing to give it a try: maybe it works. The guy looks good enough on the pics I have seen of him, which befits the character well enough, but I can see why it would make people upset. It is a sensitive subject. I am not surprised people are ranting against it on the Internet.
Briar King Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I know I won't be going to movies to see it... It just all looks off to me and I'm not even an F4 fan and picked up on these things.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I know I won't be going to movies to see it... It just all looks off to me and I'm not even an F4 fan and picked up on these things. What turned me off from seeing the movie is the complete change in tone. F4 is, to be completely blunt, a ridiculous series modeled on a ridiculous premise. The 2005 movie wasn't very good, but at least it embraced the campiness of four barely-astronauts who go into space and get magic powers from a magic radiation cloud. This movie is desperately trying to get us to take it as seriously as it takes itself, but that's not going to happen. F4 is not a serious premise, and no amount of "gritty realism" is going to change that. 1
Allomancy she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Something I find annoying is, I love sleeping in, but if I do Sleep in, my retainer leaves a gross taste in my mouth! Also, I DON'T GET WHY in school they only let you get two fruits. They tell us we need to eat healthier, and then feed us toxic waste! Edited June 15, 2015 by Allomancy 1

Also, I DON'T GET WHY in school they only let you get two fruits. They tell us we need to eat healthier, and then feed us toxic waste! In my school district, they thought "eating healthier" meant "smaller portions of the same crap we always feed them." It would have been so easy--not to mention less expensive--to give students half a chicken breast and a baked potato, but no. It had to be chicken nuggets and fries. And then they'd wonder why kids were always hungry and sickly. Makes me glad I had allergies so I always brought my lunch.
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Man, I am so glad that school is out. I actually went to a counselor for my anxiety, and was given a list of "symptoms" that are a sign of anxiety... apparently it is pretty severe for me. Almost every single thing on the list could be applied to my life. And, guess what? My English teacher was the cause for a good half of them.
Allomancy she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) And their pizza is like card board with plastic "cheese" on it. I'm seriously surprised that when I look at the bottom of it, there isn't a little Fisher price symbol on it. And the hotdogs bounce. And I have a teacher that is trying to prove that dragons are real. Edited June 15, 2015 by Allomancy 1

I honestly think there are some teachers who shouldn't be allowed to teach. If you're causing anxiety in your students, I think that should prompt a serious evaluation by the school board.

And I have a teacher that is trying to prove that dragons are real. The pizza at my old school would melt onto the fries they served with it. Not just the cheese, but the crust would melt. The "teriyaki dippers" were chunks of unidentifiable meat served with a side of sludge-like brown sauce. That's kind of cool, actually. What subject?
Kobold King he/him Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 And I have a teacher that is trying to prove that dragons are real. How is that a bad day? You sound like you have the coolest teacher in the history of teachers.

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I had a spanish teacher who believed her projector was powered by fairies. 4
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I had a spanish teacher who believed her projector was powered by fairies. I'll bet THAT was in interesting year.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 So... Cody taught you spanish? Further proof that the Reckonersverse is real; we're just living in a timeline that diverged from the one described in the books. In our world, Calamity never rose and Cody, rather than become a police officer, taught high school Spanish. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 And is a woman, apparently. Which means this might be a universe where Prof did earn a Master's degree and then a doctorate, making the nickname Prof much more apt. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 And where Obliteration reads Bible stories to kids in Sunday School? ...Teaches teens or adults, maybe. It takes the patience of an especially saintly saint to teach little kids--patience I don't have. 2
