Excuse me for not tip toeing around sensitive stuff but I can't take false accusations with cool head.
Well you're the boss on these forums and all so I understand where you coming from about "everyone respecting everyone" but I have right to respect whoever I deem worthy of it and your opinion on the matter is unimportant.0 -
Respect must be earned not demanded.

The correct pronoun here would be "zie".
First timer so excuse me.

um. I bet you're also one of those people who want to teach women to be prude rather than teach men not to abuse.
Goodbye.
Nope I'm not but you are all knowing 16 year old girl who doesn't even knows what gender "they" is so goodbye to you as well.

I won't say that he liked it. I'll say that 9 out of 10 boys that age would pay for it.

Uh what?
Argent, just out of curiosity, what do you mean by the "default" female body?
And yeah, I'm trying now to define what gender *is* beyond societal constructs, but I'm finding it hard to pin down exactly. There is something to it, though.
idk that just sounded right!
btw how old was that boy?

In the beginning, yes. But now, not exactly. It is still about raising society's views on women, but also letting society know that there is no such thing as "manliness" so to speak.
For example, lowering the body expectations for both men and women. Not all men are toned, pin-up, sportsy guys that the majority women want, and not all women are skinny, small, but busty like the majority of men want. These "perfect people" are only seen in Photoshopped photos of celebrities in makeup.
Also, pointing out the fact that men can be hurt and abused by women, which society seems to think can't happen. When a man is abused, they're laughed at, called weak, fake, etc. If they try to call the help hotlines, they're accused of pranking. Yes, this is a real problem that feminism tries to solve. When a boy got taken advantage of by a 40 year old Cowboys cheerleader, the men commented on the story saying that "he should feel lucky" or "you can't abuse the willing." It was the feminists who stepped in to help.
Sex is what you are born with. Gender is who you are.
Excuses!!

Feminism isn't about gender equality, its about female rights.
Gender is a set of tools you get when born. Not being able to get used to them is a weakness, not a strength.
Stereotypes are for weak-minded slaves of society.I'm for equality in strength, not weakness.
Bring it on!2 -
Favorite Doctor: Eleventh. But I hope Twelfth will surpass him(at least for me) because I see much more potential in Capaldi's Doctor.
Favorite Companions: Jack, Rory, Martha, Amy. In that order.
From stuff I've read on internet people love Amy because she's not in love with Doctor, but that's not my case as I never completely bought that so whole no romantic relationship between her and Doctor has been a bit annoying for me. Don't get me wrong, I prefer no romantic relationship between Doctor and his companion/s, but I never felt as much chemistry between Amy and Rory as between Amy and Eleventh so there's that. Another problem I have with Amy is that she's least companion material personality wise. Not as useful as others and I felt humanity-is-a-master-species vibe a lot more from her than any other companion. So why is she still my favorite? Because she was there when show was at it best(in my opinion).
I liked Martha a lot because she was truthful, brave, open minded and fun. Simple as that.
Rory and Jack don't need any explanation I think. Wish there were more of them or at least more male companions that good. I hope someday we'll get male main companion and have some kind of brotherly or father-son/teacher-apprentice kinda relationship.
Least favorite Companions: Donna Noble and Clara Oswald.
Fourth season was my least favorite season so I don't really care much about Donna. Even if she's a good Companion I didn't enjoy it as much as others that's all.
As for Clara, I loved first two versions of her. One that ended up being Companion though... She's cute, that's all. And cute isn't my thing to say the least.1 -
I would recommend Warbreaker before the Mistborns for one simple reason: Well of Ascension. It's...to be frank, boring. It's ridiculously long given the lack of content within it, the characters tend to repeat themselves for chapters on end, and the tension just builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and...you get the point. That's not to mention the poor quality of various characters and their relationships. In the end it's not a very good showing considering the level of quality of every other work Brandon has released ever. Having someone read that as their third work in the Cosmere doesn't really instill much confidence in an author, in my opinion.
That being said, my opinion of the book could be jaded, slightly, because I did read Warbreaker, then Elantris, and then the Mistborns, so I had some quality writing by Sanderson before reaching WoA. My father, a man who likes just about anything ever, felt the same way about the book. He, too, read Warbreaker and Elantris first, since I was the one giving him access to them.
Well in my opinion WoA is still much better than Elantris. I have a friend who got into Sanderson with me back in the day but skipped Elantris and she still isn't able to get through it. And I just got a friend into Mistborn and WoA is his favorite out of the three. In the end it's about taste in my opinion so no one really can tell which one will be better for someone. That aside there is no reason at all to read Warbreaker before Mistborn when trying to get into Cosmere. TFE is one of the best fantasy books out there, Warbreaker? I love it but it's nowhere close to that imho.

I don't understand why you people hate Warbreaker so much...definitely read it before Mistborn.
What Titan Arum said. Also it's kind of reverse Mistborn and imo it's more fun to read it after MB then before...

My door locks and other anti-burglary mechanisms are just fine thank you very much. Plus no one can beat cookies that are hand made by the eater. Also, you probably added drugs to your cookies that would take me to cloud coocooland where I would dine on rainbows and dance to the worst pop songs.
That would've been crazy! Cookies here just turn people into ponies!
I would go into Mistborn after Elantris, then Emperor's Soul(set on same planet as Elantris). Mistborn and Emperor's soul have most information about cosmere stuff so far so they're good place to start if you're interested in a bigger picture. Then Warbreaker before Stormlight Archive for extra cross-over fun. Elantris is the weakest but they're all awesome. Newer stuff tends to be better if one were to set aside taste and emotional attachments.
Welcome!

About to finish season 7 and I'm totally mind blown by it. Haven't seen older series. And I'm afraid because I just read somewhere that time lords only have 12 regenerations and that makes Capaldi's doctor last. Is this true? We won't be getting any more Doctors after him? :| Please tell me River Song giving her time lord powers to him resets his regeneration counter. Or maybe they will just ignore that rule because we want more Doctor. Or just make him cheat death somehow. Is there any official information about it one way or another?

Failure. Getting things wrong. Not being good enough.
So many of us ;((
And spiders, every single one of them. Except super-heroes.
And knifes, needles, everything small with pointy end.
And not being understood correctly.

Why would anyone add classes to ESO (facepalm)
Freedom and tons of possibilities is pretty much only reason Skyrim is one of if not the best rpg game out there :| And that's obvious future of MMORPG. Every other game worth mentioning in the same genre is trying to get rid of classes... or at least minimize it's impact on game.
Still playing Dota 2. Not sure if I want to get into Path of Exile again. Wanna play CS:GO. Can't... ;((
Bloodbourne literally made me hate PS4. Making such a legendary game an exclusive. I know I'm not going to pay for PS4 just to play Bloodbourne and that's literally only game I would be playing there...0 -
For comics: I prefer Marvel over DC... currently anyway, Marvel is more fun while DC gives me the impression of taking itself too seriously.
For cartoons: DC by a long shot has created better cartoon shows than Marvel. Batman: The Animated Season, Justice League, Young Justice, *cough*Teen Titans Go!*cough*, all these are fantastic shows. The best Marvel came up with were the 90s X-Men and Spider-man, and those were pretty inconsistent and ridiculous.
For Live-action TV shows: DC has been in the business longer and has learned from its mistakes. Marvel has Agents of Shield (kinda a commercial for the movies) and the old Incredible Hulk. This goes to DC as well.
Movies: The recent Marvel movies have blown DC out of the water, but that's mostly because I find them funner. WB seems more concerned with making the next "Dark Knight" and not just make a good comic-book movie.
This.
Give it a year or two at most and Marvel will have TV as well. It's just sad, DC is stuck in the past.

Long post about how I feel about Arrow and AoS. Feel free to skip
I agree with most of the stuff you said about Agents of SHIELD but I feel so differently about Arrow. I find it not only not dark or gritty at all but unbelievably unrealistic.
I literally have fun at it's stupid writing. And I'm not getting at something big there, just small illogical things all over the place. Just pay attention to details. For an example episode named Suicidal Tendencies in last season. Deadshot was literally sniping people from top of the roof of same building(exactly above the room) he was sniping people in. He either curved not only bullets, but also scope of the rifle or he didn't die there at all. But Digle and his wife totally bought it and those people are supposed to be professionals. And there are tons of stuff like that in this show. Almost every episode in last season has some of it. You know how lazy writers are when 3 or 4 consequent and final episodes of season repeat same plot twist for every single character on the show. Every single character "died", some of them several times and it all happened in space of 3-4 episodes. That after Oliver's "revival" and I won't even get into why he survived that.
Other seasons? Waller wanted to wipe whole city out to save the world from some goons. Diggle has been broken moral compass thorough the show. One episode, you have him talking about how killing is bad and Oli should not do it. Next episode he finds a way to justify it and is trying to convince Oli that sometimes he should kill. Characters with automatic rifles charging at each other to get into melee fight? Main character who's supposedly good at planning and strategy throws his advantage away and runs up to opponents he can easily take care of from range? Guy from Teen Wolf doing some somersaults that are nothing but counterproductive(literally there's a scene where he jumps over an edge of a car with somersault of some kind and all he had to do was take a single step to get to exact same place), totally out of place and bad looking.
Most important reason I put AoS above Arrow is characters. No one except handpicked few make any sense in Arrow. They act on out of nowhere drama that writers have to put in, in order to fill the lack of actual story and character identity. Diggle is exactly same guy he was 2.5 seasons ago. Same is true for Felicity outside of Olicity. Only character development Oliver got was on island and when he decided not to kill. He has been taught that lying to Theia is bad for 3 seasons, it had zero impact on him. Theia learned how to fight, and stopped doing drugs but "well, it's cw let's not talk about that kind of stuff" attitude was strong about it. Guy from Teen Wolf was kinda better then he was in Teen Wolf and his character wasn't as bad as others. Black Canary looked so very good beside her sister. Laurel... I'm not going there. Acting of main cast is all around bad except Stephen Amell who seems to be only one trying(even though he's playing total opposite of character from source material).
But all those character's don't matter in this show. No matter what happens they always are put into shadows in order for Oli to shine brighter. 9/10 times they are useless and annoying. I seriously can't say I "love" any of characters in the show. Except Malcolm and Slade. They're awesome. And I kinda like Stephen Amell more then I like the character he's playing :D And that's exactly where AoS wins this fight for me. I love Fitz, I love Bobbi, I love Hunter, I love those SHIELD brothers and I love Coulson(My very favoritest hero in MCU). And I've liked pretty much everyone else except Skye and Ward. And this show gave those two some huge character reveal/developments and I'm not hating on them anymore for being generic.
Idk, I pretty much marathoned both shows(1-2 seasons of arrow first) and I had genuine fun with SHIELD while Arrow annoyed, disappointed and made a bad joke of itself.1 -
Nope. I also like Gotham better. And to be honest, I haven't even watched Flash. Can't force myself to. I really liked the Arrow universe at the beginning for its realism, but then they added super powered people, and well... it bugs me.
But to start with, I want to say that I am not a big comic reader. For me comic universes are WAY too crowded in terms of over-powered characters. In Marvel there are probably more superpowered people (mutants, superheroes, various weird people, etc.) than generic Homo sapiens representatives. This is crazy. I don't know how it looks in DC, as I've never actually felt the urge to check, but by the sheer numbers of the Justice League members I can guess it's not so different. And, yes, I could read the comics just about one character, for example, but right now some superhero team-ups happen every second issue, so it's not so easy to avoid these crowds of superheroes.
Therefore in comics’ category the winner is... Marvel. For having Guardians of the Galaxy and Star-Lord alone. That's the only criterion I use. When Marvel first announced GotG movie, I decided to check it out, and then Wikipedia said there is a freaking talking racoon, and since racoons are my favourite animals by far I decided to read the comic a little. I've been a huge fangirl ever since. That's basically the only comic I actually read.
But I do agree that DC villains are way more multidimensional than the Marvel ones. So DC also gets points here.
Movies: Marvel, for consistent universe, with limited number of characters (I was actually strongly against adding Spiderman and I am strongly against any ideas of adding X-men or Fantastic4 to the MCU). However The Dark Knight is a way better movie than all the MCU movies together, so I would claim DC as the winner here, if they didn't try to make a REALLY rushed Justice League movie right now and cast Ben Affleck as Batman on top of that. As a huge TDK trilogy lover, I feel that they're trying to push it too much, and that it's not working well, and that it's going to be crap, and I really don't like crap movies involving Batman, because he's an awesome character. Simply because the TDK trilogy is still fairly new, I feel that it is simply too early to make another Batman version. And, well. Man of Steel was meh. And all the DC movies before Batman Begins are not even worth mentioning.
TV = Draw. Agents of SHIELD are just bad, but Netflix's Daredevil is amazing, and I haven't watched Agent Carter, but I heard that it was fine. Arrow was good, but now it gets worse, Flash I haven't watch, and I'm not planning to, Gotham is entertaining, but nowhere near as good as Daredevil. Also DC gets some points for amazing Batman TV cartoons that I watched as a kid.
I agree on everything except TDK being better then all Marvel movies put together but that's taste thing. + TDK isn't as much DC as it's Nolan seriously
And Agents of SHIELD. I hated it too, but got into it like month ago. Skipped first 5 episodes as I had seen first two episodes when it started but didn't remember at time where I had stopped. fastforwarded a lot until I got up to 8th or 9th episode. At some point it got above all other comic based shows for me(after getting over the hype I settled that it's between DD and Gotham). First half of season 1 was bad. Second half of season 1 was decent(better than arrow(s3/s4) or flash at least). Season two is where it gets really good. You should give it a shot as you can't really know whether you like it or not if you don't invest a bit in it imho.
btw, have you guys noticed influence of John Wick on AoS and Gotham?
Those gun-fu action sequences in last episodes :D 0 -
Well...okay. Lately, Arrow hasn't been great; in fact, I will complain a lot about season three. However, season two was fantastic, and season one -while flawed- still had a lot of strong points in its favour.
(I'll explain exactly what I liked about the series when I have more time- sorry! I can PM it if you prefer?)
That said... Flash. Flash was GREAT this year. Yes, it had some stumbles, but overall, I really liked it.
Exactly!
Not consistently good 
First and second seasons were much better. Last season though, that's worst I've seen in TV. Sure, however you like.Am I only one who likes Gotham more than Arrow and Flash?

Movies and TV = Marvel.
I'm not sure about comics because of my limited experience with them but I think it's DC.
Main problem with DCCU is that they're too inconsistent to be considered as a proper "shared universe". Arrow, Flash, etc. don't really exist and most likely won't exist in their cinematic universe. And as it looks like, most of these upcoming movies will adapt already established stuff to make their individual stories work better. Of course it will let them make better stand alone movies, but as far as shared universes go that's simply boring and makes a lot of stuff feel like non-canon and fillerish.
Another problem is that they're taking themselves too seriously(when it comes to movies) since Dark Knight trilogy happened. Everything and everyone is dark and brooding. I like dark stuff, but they're getting overboard with it.
On the other hand DC movies without brooding have been simply bad so far.Eh...
Movies: Marvel
TV: Eh... DC. I like Agents of SHIELD, but it can be sort of uneven, whereas Arrow and Flash are consistently good.
Comics: DC.How is Arrow consistently good? I have fun with it but I would never describe it as "good", even though Green Arrow(comics) is my favorite DC character. I understand from your name and avatar that you must love that show and I'm not trying to offend. I just don't see what makes it so good for you.

Read Kvothe because I need that day three book
Army goes to Percy and inevitable death.
Sabetha will have to lead. Won't be a good leader most likely but she'll be good at what leaders actually do these days + she's a redhead so there's that
Joker from Batman-dc-w/e, Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly and Lopen from Stormlight Lopen.(best team-up ever!!)1 -
I wasn't a huge fan of Noragami. It had moments definitely, but it didn't suck me in and as it moved on the less interest I gave it. Glad you liked it though. Blue Exorcist was basically the other way around for me though, so I think our tastes just diverge there.
Same here. Blue Exorcist was good enough to make me read it's manga(was ongoing then). Noragami was nice, but I never finished it. Tastes.
Finished Psycho-Pass a month or two ago
It was a nice surprise, didn't expect it to be any good Still a lot of stuff I didn't like. Main what's his name dude cop. He had some good moments but he was a very boring character Don't remember most of season 2 for some reason... I don't like not remembering it so that's another thing I don't like about it :D Otherwise it was very good.I'm about to start watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Hope it exceeds my expectations, that are high as they are
Actually I'm in need of recommendations. Can't find anything new worthy of watching. Looking for last two seasons new animes that are good. They can have anything in them(ecchi, gore, w/e) but I don't like it when show focuses too much on pantyshots, cuteness and satisfying overly high tastes that I don't have. good action, comedy, tragedy, drama, adventure, stuff-that-can-only-be-made-in-japan kind of stuff is what I'm looking for. Anything?
