Ah come on, I’m sure Jared Leto will do fine. At least his Joker didn’t cancel himself.

What’s with making Joker actors Skeletor anyway?

Holy fuck Sonic 3 was amazing.

While I’m not a fan of his antics, I think Leto is a very talented actor. Yeah I didn’t like him in Suicide Squad and he was really over the top in House Of Gucci (But sometimes entertaining IMO), but I think he’s given good/great performances in Requiem For A Dream, Lord Of War, Mr. Nobody, Fight Club, Panic Room, Blade Runner 2049, and Snyder’s Justice League. I haven’t seen his Oscar winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club yet, but I’ve heard very good things about it. And while The Little Things wasn’t great and Morbius was poor, I thought he still gave very good performances in those films.

I also like some of his music. Kings And Queens is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

Yeah, let’s see Paul Allen’s Skeletor.

All the Sonic movies are rated Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. By contrast, all of the Resident Evil movies are rated Rotten.

@SleepySteve
What’s a strange world we live in.
Resident evil feels like something that should translate well to shows and movies , but just doesn’t

@northern haste
Honestly after playing so many of it, I think it only works best as games.

Is there a trope name for one off weak dumb jerks who get utterly destroyed in a few seconds to show off how powerful the real hero or villian is.

Like that grumpy old man that Obi Wan chopped his arm off.

A common response I’m seeing cilps on twitter from the recent simpsons christmas special Is how they need to let the actors retire.
Like it doesn’t work like that, Pamela Hayden did retire, So I doubt that being forced to keep doing it.
End before anyone says it, no The entire show ending is a different compensation

Helluva Boss season 2 finale is out

…so millie is pregnant.

@Angrybrony
Yeh

@northern haste
I know that people have been complaining about that scene with Ned Flanders and Marge because their voices sound different compared to how they used to, but TBH i thnk the rougher/deeper voices ended up making the scene more emotional

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
To be honest item even notice much difference in ned’s voice.
At least when watching it.
^{But then again I was probably connecting more due to more personal reasons. I don’t want to get into here}

Is the “Rebellious Youth” trope/cliche still an entertaining one to most these days?

It seems like it’s either loved or hated with no in between.

Ghostbusters will get a animated movie on netflix
Wait, I thought netflix was getting a tv show.
Oh, no.
It’s already starting.
Curse you moana 2

@SleepySteve
Agreed.

@CaptainXtra
I mean, it also happens in real life.

Imagine if Naming Conventions were like this:

@CaptainXtra
Honestly wouldn’t mind this.

It’d make it a lot easier to know what each animal is called.

Getting tired of getting gerbils and hamsters wrong.

@Dustcan
Finally we don’t have to tell the difference between Coral snakes and Scarlet King Snakes. They’d tell us themselves.

There’s even a diddly meant to help you figure it out but I still get it confused! Is it “Red on yellow and you’re okay fellow” or “…a dead fellow?”
