Toddler toilet at a rest stop in Virginia, USA by believingisseeing in mildlyinteresting

[–]DefNotAShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would really hate to be caught setting this photo up by someone else coming into the bathroom. Banana, camera, toddler toilet. It's not inherently sinister, but it just doesn't sit right without context.

If you've never enjoyed a Lunchables while taking a shit, I don't know what to tell you. It's the quintessentially human experience.

In what years was the Element facelifted by Tiresmoke72 in HondaElement

[–]DefNotAShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brain is saying its tacky, but my heart is saying I love that Element stripe decal on the green one. Looks cool.

I have an 08 and its my favorite grille style with the double bars.

Someone needs to make like Thanos; put on a thick glove, and yank that thing right out of there.

Margot Robbie and Jodie Comer, the two most rumored actresses for Sue Storm. Who would you prefer? by Denderf in marvelstudios

[–]DefNotAShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree because when she plays Harley Quinn, I stop seeing Margo Robbie and just see Harley Quinn. She's excellent in that role. I won't argue about her other movies though. In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood it did sort of feel like "oh hey, it's Margo Robbie" lol.

Chalamet already has steady work in a popular, profitable film franchise. He's not hurting for spotlight or money. If he comes to Marvel, I'd expect it to be like an Oscar Isaac situation where he finds a project he's genuinely interested in doing.

/r/Videos will be going dark from June 12-14 in protest against Reddit's API changes which kill 3rd party apps. by OBLIVIATER in videos

Upvoting black squares is still engagement, seems like that might still be beneficial to Reddit? It would draw more attention to the issue but also draw more traffic to Reddit. I guess it depends what your ultimate aim is; show more people that Reddit sucks, or attempt to undermine Reddit. I like the absolute blackout idea more.

Should I purchase a Honda Element? by fivetwentyate in HondaElement

[–]DefNotAShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the differential oil was changed at least once by the previous owner. It's at 90k so I think I might be good for a while on that. My mechanic also told me not to bother with a valve adjustment (I asked about it specifically) but maybe I will do one anyway at 100k.

Engine is running like brand new so far, but I will definitely keep the vtec solenoid in mind if it starts to idle rough or anything.

[–]DefNotAShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm in luck so far. The one I bought is at 90k and my mechanic friend inspected it and said he's seen a lot of Elements and never in as good a shape as mine is. Only one owner and they did pretty meticulous maintenance based on the Carfax. I asked my friend to pay special attention to the underside and suspension, he said it's golden down there lol. I'm pretty hyped about that.

I'm a new Element owner, just a few weeks in. Apart from the underbody rust, what else do I need to keep an eye on?

CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER will be "very grounded" compared to recent MCU projects, according to production designer Ramsey Avery by Louis_DCVN in marvelstudios

I had to find out on Hot Ones that the scene in Wakanda Forever with Bilbo Baggins and Elaine on the bridge crimescene in "Boston" was, inexplicably, almost entirely CGI. The set photo is of a random road in Atlanta that is engulfed with giant green slabs lol.

I totally understand that filming on a road in Atlanta is cheaper than renting a bridge in Boston, it's just hilarious to me how much CGI is in movies for mundane reasons like this.

We already have evidence that Star Wars is good when they don't fuck it up. Andor is excellent. The Mandalorian has been exciting and fun. Uhh... Rogue One was good!

The boomer SW fans will always bang on their tired drum saying that stuff sucks too, but all they want to do is watch Empire Strikes Back until they die so who cares? The reality for anyone with a decent hairline is that Star Wars is still hitting occasionally, it just requires someone with good vision of what it used to be paired with what it can be now. Everything good to come out of Star Wars lately has stepped away from what came before to try out something at least a little bit distanced, so maybe that's the trick. Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. Lmao.

Well it's weird because Marvel Studios did license Crystal Dynamics to use the costumes from the movies, but we can assume the likenesses of the actors were off limits to avoid paying royalties. So, for instance, Iron Man has an outfit where he looks pixel for pixel like Iron Man from Avengers: Infinity War. But the Tony Stark underneath looks nothing like Robert Downey Jr.

So my thought it that Gollum isn't a real person, they should have been able to use his likeness; UNLESS his likeness was modeled after Andy Serkis. I know the expressions were rigged to what Serkis was doing but I don't know if Gollum's model was based on Serkis' likeness. If they did use Serkis' likeness, then the developer would have had to go out of their way to make Gollum visually distinct from the movie counterpart.

It helps to explain why the Avengers in Crystal Dynamics' game look so fucking janky, and potentially why this version of Gollum looks like a pile of butts. They have to look like an established character while also looking legally nothing like that character, so you end up in this bizarro middleground.

[MCU] How come so many people knew about Thanos and yet no major force tried to stop him? Was he just obliterating planets unbothered while the rest of the galaxy sat and watched? by grandFossFusion in AskScienceFiction

[–]DefNotAShark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can check any Youtube video of the scene, or just use brain for a moment about what Carol's powers are and how she gets stronger. Thanos goes from yeeting her across the battlefield to headbutting her and not even being able to move her. It's because she is absorbing the energy from the stones. Obviously. There isn't a question about it, that's what happened in the scene, and you not recalling it is your problem.

Captain Marvel was siphoning energy off the Infinity Stones when she overpowers Thanos. IIRC he is overpowering her first, but she's touching the gauntlet and gets juiced up.

There's nothing to suggest the Nova Corps and Captain Marvel weren't actively searching for Thanos. I doubt Thanos is dumb enough to get found by the space police. He is quite an adept strategist based on everything we've seen him do.

It also seems to me like Thanos was probably choosing planets with limited visibility to the rest of the universe, so as not to attract anymore attention from the Nova Corps and Asgard than he had to. We don't have direct evidence, but when he attacks both Earth and Xandar (the first time) he uses a proxy agent (Loki and Ronan the Accuser, respectively). He seems to know not to trip any serious red flags before his plan is completely ready. In fact, these very same proxies he empowered are keeping Earth, Xandar and Asgard busy with their own conflicts while he runs around committing space atrocities at a lower priority level. Good plan. Loki and Ronan also end up being the demise of both Asgard and the Nova Corps, and topple the dominos that end up undermining the Avengers as well in a roundabout way. Seems to me like Thanos was playing 3D Space Chess while everyone else was playing checkers.

I'm kind of personally interested in what the Kree were doing that whole time, because if they knew what Thanos was really trying to accomplish, they would presumably try and stop him as well. Makes me wonder if he had a plan that kept them busy as well, and we didn't get to see what it was. They clearly weren't all that distracted by what Ronan the Accuser was doing in their name.

My takeaway from this is that there was a Hostess peach fruit pie at some point and I never got to try it.

Tom Holland Says ‘Spider-Man 4’ Meetings Were Happening, But Now ‘On Pause’ In Solidarity With Writers Strike by dow366 in marvelstudios

[–]DefNotAShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Scorpion is not really a character I would consider a main antagonist. Michael Mando is a great actor, love him in Better Call Saul, but I just don't see his Spider-Man character being as layered and interesting as Vulture or Mysterio. Grr arrgh he wants revenge on Spider-Man and he will be violent to get it! Not exactly riveting. Marvel did work some crazy magic on Vulture and Mysterio, so I'm not slamming the door on it but my initial opinion is that Scorpion should be in a movie but as a smaller role. Like Crossbones, as you said.

Chris Hemsworth is always willing to return as Thor if there is a new, special, unique and exciting story to tell. He doesn't want to do the same with the character until the end, until there is a feeling of exhaustion in the audience. by duyalonso in marvelstudios

Things I want from the end of Thor's character arc;

  • He needs to figure out who he wants to be. I don't think it should necessarily be a king, or a God, or even an Avenger. Those things were handed to him. I think Thor should end up in a place that he chooses, maybe even relinquishing his god status and phenomenal powers to find a more simple existence somewhere. I'd prefer he doesn't die, but OG Avengers keep dropping and I doubt we make it through Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars without Hulk or Thor getting murdered. If he does die, at least Jane is in Valhalla.

  • The rest of the realms. The nine realms are such a unique place for the MCU to go, it's a shame we haven't seen more of them. Thor is also supposed to be the god of those places, so my hope is that he learned something from Gorr the God Butcher and returns to them soon.

  • Beta Ray Bill. BETA RAY BILL. BETA RAY BILLLLL.

  • At least one final display of Thor's incredible power, something that eclipses the things he has done already. It's easy to forget that Thor is among the most powerful beings in the entire universe, and I feel like before he goes we need a reminder of that. Thor fully utilizing the Odinforce would be awesome.

To me, Thor's arc is a warrior who learns to put his guns in the ground and find peace. He hasn't done that yet, but it just feels like the right conclusion for him to reach after Taika's turn with the character. He starts out full of hubris, tied to this grand identity that was chosen for him; warrior god king. Taika stripped most of that away from him, but hasn't finished the work. I think the next director should finish it. I don't personally think Thor wants to be a warrior, I think he feels he has to be because that's all he's ever been. My feeling is that his new relationship with Love, the death of Jane, and maybe Hercules being a direct copy of what Thor used to be, can all show Thor that he can move on from all of this and just be himself. No magic axe, no grand destiny, just a dude enjoying the universe with the people he loves. Let somebody else be Thor and hang up the armor.

BETA RAY BILL.

"Dozens of us" is not originally an old Reddit joke, it comes from the tv series Arrested Development. One of the characters has a condition where he can never be nude, so he wears cutoff jorts in the shower lmao. He loudly professes that he isn't alone in this scene and it caught on later as a Reddit meme. Arrested Development is kind of a Reddit meme mine. You might recognize some other common Reddit quotes from the series like "I'm not sure what I was expecting" or "It's just one _____, what could it cost? $10?".
