how much of it is universally stupid, and how much of it is a product of its time
The growth of psychology shapes the form of his book (in rhetorical format if not in actual, y'know, science)
But it's pretty much exactly the same, "Questionable non-white entertainment is stealing away our children's souls" moral panicking that had been around since the jazz age and continued along up to Tipper Gore.
In this case, he was less concerned with it being non-white (Wertham, to his credit, was less of a racist than his peers) but he was particularly scared of the gay. Sexual impurity was his bogeyman, whether it was lesbian undertones in Wonder Woman or gay undertones in Batman or implied necrophilia in horror comics or breasts a little bit too pronounced in a femme fatale's blouse in a detective comic.
Fer shure, but he's not the one that created the movement, just the movement's leading tool. Comics restrictions were already starting without him.
Oh, yeah, totally true
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Watching the Avengers trailer. I can't stop watching it. I need this movie.
Pinocchio's song is incredibly creepy in this, and is probably the best example of one of the biggest payouts for fans from Disney purchasing Marvel.

Guuuuuuuuuys my mum got that rescue kitty whose name is Meatloaf
She texted me this and then followed up with
"your sister wants to rename him "ObiWon?" (don't know spelling) - - not sure, what is that"
I'm torn because on one hand, Meatloaf is like easily top 5 cat name
But Obi-Wan...
(guys, how in the fuck did my mum not watch Star Wars. I have failed my familyyyyyy :bigfrown:)
Fidel Catstro
Chairman Meow
Adolf Kittler
Herman Purring
etc
Aww my friend just recently had to put her kitty down and his name was Chairman Meow.

You know, Marvel is pulling a Pixar here. There's gonna be a Cars 2 at some point, but....
The fact that every film they're putting out ties into a singular storyline (Maybe Civil War, maybe The Infinity War) is something I've never seen before and good god but are they pulling it off or what.
When this is all said and done, how many billions of dollars of revenue is this one franchise, because really, it's all one, going to generate?
For my money the best of the CG Clone Wars is way better than Tartakovsky

Oh boy so apparently that was a group text I just replied to at 2am with:
"Obi-Wan! (there is a really fantastic Star Wars quote that belongs here: "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!" - - you won't understand but Sierra will so you should tell her I said that.) I think Meatloaf is an awesome cat name! "

Hm. I watched the first ep of Clone Wars and it really seems like it's not for me.
that's a really reasonable conclusion to draw from a lot of the early episodes
It improves a LOT later on

Like I just imagine the guy who made that long post in the anime thread seeing the thread title, clicking the post reply window and, hands trembling, going into the clipboard and excitedly clicking CTRL + V and hitting post before he knew what was going on.
Like I won't say Clone Wars is perfect, because it's got plenty of crummy sorta cutesy episodes for the kids and fanboys still.
But it has an entire arc that's just The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, with Obi-Wan Kenobi in the role of the good. And another episode is ZULU on Hoth
And like a 3 or 4 episode arc which is straight up Apocalypse Now and basically leaves you feeling like maybe the Jedi got what they deserved
Plus does a ton to make the clone troopers go from an annoying ass-pull to a really interesting sci-fi culture
And just in general the series actually make Anakin's anger towards the jedi feel way more fleshed out, and slowly builds
And the primary visual inspiration for seasons 4 & 5 are Alfred Hitchcock

This was my reaction at first so I kinda wrote it off
The Star Wars thread convinced me to give it a more serious try and I'm seriously glad I did it improves sooooo much
I am trying to care more about the expanded stuff, after many years of essentially sort of ignoring all things Star Wars out of some... Well, prequels related frustration
I also tend to find the military stuff and the mercenary stuff more interesting than the jedi stuff
Like, gimme a series that's Cheers, but the Mos Eisley Cantina, I would watch the shit out of that

No makeup, but still pretty weird-looking
Oh and also season 4 has an entire episode where a bunch of bounty hunters including Simon Pegg fist fight ninjas on a train and it is delightful

This is a lot to ask of a lady who routinely falls asleep in the middle of a hockey game
(I guess this is why she hasn't watched it, tbh, I'm sure my sister has watched it enough times that she ought to have seen the whole thing by now)

Yeah. I think it's a mouse focus issue. You can click below the progress bar and it might do the retract after a couple seconds. But not always.
