    Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.

    I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.

    IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn’t dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn’t just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.

    There were a couple years in my teens when I generally wore all black clothes. I was not a goth, even if I was passingly friendly with a few goths.

    Many assumed I was a goth, and it never bothered me to correct them. It was a completely understandable assumption to make.

    You may not be a goth, but you certainly look like one at a glance.


  • Uh huh. If aliens were able to reach our solar system, do you think they would give one shit about being seen by a primitive civilization with zero space defenses?

    If we’re talking about signs of alien life from deep space scans, do you really think that the scientists that found this evidence, who have spent their life pursuing the better understanding of the galaxy, would keep quiet about it at the behest of whatever government?

    Life isn’t that interesting. There’s no massive multi-government conspiracy. We couldn’t even get governments to shut down borders or enforce mandates on wearing mask when a global pandemic of unknown severity was ongoing.

    You’ve watched too much fictional media if you think any conspiracy of that level is remotely plausible.


  • I’ve had this argument with my wife, who wants to swim with Orcas, so many times.

    Me: Orcas are the sadistic murder cats of the ocean. Do not swim with them. They may decide to kill you for the fun of it.

    Her: There has never been a reported fatal orca attack! You worry too much!

    Me: How many people do you think are trying to swim with wild orcas every year? Sample size is to small. It’s like saying it’s safe to slap a grizzly bear with a pool noodle and then throw a Meringue pie in it’s face, because AFAIK, no one has ever died doing so.
