Finally got around to finishing Kipo. First season is by far the strongest, but that's because it's best when it is exploring and discovering the world it's set in. And since season 3 is about resolving the series conflict, it's a bit weaker in my opining. The resolution IS good, just to be clear. It's pretty satisfying.

I shall now use the same standards to judge the remaining season as I used for judging the final season of The Clone Wars. By those standards, this episode sucks

@Use the Falchion Nearly all the DC comics you mentioned are the reason I stopped buying DC comics Especially the Metal stuff. And the Three Joker storyline? My friend got them so I read them and...DC needs to move past Alan Moore and Frank Miller. Doomsday Clock was good. A lot of DC comics (particularly 5G) got canned when the editorial staff got sacked earlier this year. Who knows what is going to happen, rumors were that AT&T were going to cancel most if not all the comics. Hydra Captain was great. But what I like about Marvel comics is that they are consistently enjoyable. They usually know what they are and are not trying to ride the 80s grimdark wave in the 2020s. Their great stuff are the Doctor Aphra and Darth Vader comics And R L Stine's run of Man-Thing is a modern masterpiece!

So my post is a "current state" sort of deal. I've been disappointed in a lot of the animated features from DC recently. Throughout time? Well, the 90s DC cartoons were vastly superior to the 90s Marvel ones. Which, unfortunately, lead to Timm making some middling products in recent times...

That may have been true at one time, but I don't think that holds for the past few years. Marvel comics have been getting a little better, DC has been consistently bad since New 52. DC maaaaaaay have better amalgamation comics, overall, but Marvel had the best ones period (Secret Wars and Infinity Gauntlet are still enjoyable today. DC stuff has a shelf life in enjoyability and relevancy to its own universe) The DC cartoons have been mostly garbage recently (*with the exception of Harley Quinn which is just fantastic). Not saying Marvel has gotten better, they haven't, but DC no longer makes good stuff* Marvel will probably outpace DC on the show front soon with the Disney+ series. Honestly, I would say that what DC has more of than Marvel is cultural momentum. Unfortunately, when that's all you have, you tend to have the terrible recent Batman products (except for his crossovers with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, those are fantastic).

Well, I'm certainly not reading girly manga, what'd give you that idea? I only read grimdark novels about nihilism and hopelessness like a real man!

I agree. That's why I only put processed American Cheese Product on my burgers

So long as you choose the right kind, cheese can go on almost anything.

Look guys, I want for Christmas this year... is you MWAHAHA!

I voted Never! But Grinch was also a nickname I had in real life, soooo... I, personally, would be happy to never hear it in public again... such as at stores or restaurants. If radio stations want to play it, fine, I don't have to listen to them. If you want to listen to it at home or in your car? Fine, I don't have to hear it. Or never play Bing Crosby again. Then you can play it starting in November.

@Aspiring Writer I agree, Calamity should have felt like so much more... but somehow, it felt like a dud.

I just think ending the trilogy as essentially an advertisement for a series of parallel universe shenanigans was...unwise... It is particularly problematic when the series it was "advertising" never originated and might never be a thing (certainly not in the original intended form).

I feel I would be remiss if I didn't mention Hellhouse by Richard Matheson. Easily top three haunted house novel!

An "ok" thing! Apparently, according to Wikipedia, it comes from Romagna region of Italy and is way older than I thought. If you're ever at a restaurant and it comes as a side, it's worth a try. I would hate to eat a meal of it, though.

I hope so. Star Wars properties need to quit being coy with new canon!

Today's controversial opinion: pumpkin ravioli is just "ok".

I would say it depends on the context/who said it. Due to Brandon's Mormon-Christain background, "thees and thous" would, to him, have the air of divine authority or ritual. So long as it was something like a Spern extending a connection or ritual, it'll be fine. If Kaladin is trying to save someone from falling off a cliff in the midst of battle? That would be out of place and it's a shame it wasn't caught in revisions.

Some people don't like hats, I suppose...

I feel it'll be like the first season. Each episode will have a little something that will contribute to the over arching plot, but the big events will be in the final episode or two. Why? Because it is the way...

Edited to remove original response, I've wasted enough time on this all ready. Have instead a picture of a cat.

@Aspiring Writer Knock it off.
