Yes I know - it's a very common use of the tiktok/reel shortform video. Nothing against Sam by any means, just that he's hardly a pioneer of the format.

Redeem123

He doesn’t just bring some of it on himself. Being loud and abrasive is literally his whole brand. He welcomes the controversy because it’s why he exists at all.

> He created them to loop perfectly

That’s like 90% of my Instagram reel algorithm. It’s not a particularly unique thing.

Redeem123

Most people don’t actually care about that show (or they would realize she didn’t write it). That discourse was completely isolated to social media.

If Muslim immigrants have to carry the blame for every crime an immigrant commits, surely that means Cleese must also bear the blame for everything a white British guy does, right?

Redeem123

It's meant to be a good entry point for new players featuring iconic characters. This seems to fit that bill pretty well.

Redeem123

Man you people just really love to complain about things don't you? Imagine being annoyed that the main character of three movies gets a third leader unit in three years.

Redeem123

I wouldn't even say it's masterful, but that's not the point. It's absurd to form an opinion on something you didn't even really watch.

It’d be more surprising if it wasn’t. It’s his first new single in five years - of course it’s going to be listened to more than most of his other music this week.

Redeem123

Sure, I get that. But it would also be nice to see some aliens get punched by a big green fist once or twice throughout the season.

Redeem123

What an embarrassing way to engage with a story. Why not actually pay attention?

Redeem123

I like that idea in theory. It’s great that you can have Peacemaker be silly and edgy and Superman be optimistic and colorful and Clayface can be body horror. No need for everything to be the same.

However Green Lantern is like THE fantastical comic property. He’s a space cop who makes green stuff with his mind and his weakness is a color.

I’m all for new takes on a character, but it just felt like a waste.

Redeem123

Honestly I just feel sad for him.

Redeem123

Yeah “distracting as autotune on t-pain” is hilarious, cuz I’m over here like… “you mean it’s fucking dope?”

Redeem123

Gonna need to see an actual gameplay rather than just an ai screenshot.

Redeem123

I’m not actually. But the fact that executions were public 2000 years ago isn’t particularly relevant to my faith. Why do you think it would be?

Redeem123

You know they know that, right?

Like you’re on a subreddit of a show that ended 15 years ago. What exactly do you want people to post about?

Redeem123

I agree - TS5 was refreshing because the message surprisingly WASN’T “technology bad.” There needs to be nuance and understanding that technology can be a good thing, it just needs to be used intentionally.

The movie showed the very real way it can be bad (bullying and exclusion) as well as how it can work properly (connection between distant people). We’re wayyyyy far past the point of getting rid of tech, so it’s important to teach kids that it can be a tool, even if it’s not the solution to everything.

10% of them the world’s water? My guy please be serious.

AI fucking sucks for so many reasons. But you don’t have to invent ecological disasters to prove that point.

Redeem123

It’s not as good imo but it’s still neat.

Redeem123

Yeah I can feel that. My main issue is that so many of the names thrown out seem like really poor casting for Packer.

Redeem123

This 100%. A $2000 fine means nothing for these people. Dude is making $50 mil, you think .004% of that matters to him if it gives a competitive advantage? He could do that 50 times and it’s still not an entire day’s salary.

Redeem123

Hart is also a big dude though. Him being 235 isn’t as relevant when the dude running into him is 250.

Redeem123

Jeremy Piven is the best guess I’ve seen so far. Not because I know anything about him, but he would have been a fantastic fit for Packer. Hes not really a heartthrob or anything but he was a big deal on Entourage at the time.

Redeem123

From what I understand the actor’s identity is under NDA so he’s probably being very careful to not slip up.

But yeah, brutal listen.
