One of these is not like the other.

A lot of Korra hate is misogyny and the show is also not consistently good

The hate definitely predated the ending, so I'd say more the former than the latter (although both are valid). But it also ended in 2014, in the middle of GamerGate, so it definitely got swept up by all those bad actors.

Hot take(?) Korra was the most Obama-era cartoon of its ilk.

The only cinematic story worth telling from this made-for-TV ass show, which was literally just "Star Wars does Gunsmoke", would have been reuniting Grogu and Dyn on the big screen after a few years apart. Putting that into the Boba Fett show (?!??!) was mindbogglingly shortsighted.

So odd, since Supernatural season 5 absolutsly felt like a final season (which was the intention at that time). I actually think Stranger Things' problem was it felt TOO much like a "final" season. It was a finale's worth of story stretched over 10 hours.

Is it possible FromSoftware HAS the code and Sony doesn't? Sony doesn't own FromSoftware, so it stands to reason any kind of update would require them liaise with them.

I read the whole Lee/Romita ASM run in Essential format as a teenager. It was my only means of access at that time. My brother still has 10 odd volumes of it I left him when I moved overseas.

I was looking forward to First Steps and it's literallt been difficult for mr to even remember I watched it this year. Completely unoffensive and unremarkable. I'm literally more excited to see them interact woth the wider MCU than anything else.

I'm up to God Loves, Man Kills in my Claremont Era read. It's somehow incredibly prescient (A hate rally in MSG) & ideologically funded hate sqauds doing lynchings (Purifiers). It's also unfortunately horribly dated (Kitty dropping a full chested N word) & an immediately rapey gang latinos.

The creators of those shows were often astonished by how much they'd managed to put the audience in their characters' corner. Walter White poisons a child, and people were still ride or die.

Old Nerd Joel @blindbeholder.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
Nearly all of prestige TV's antiheroes rely on this cognitive bias. Walter White, Tony Soprano, Don Draper, Vic Mackey, FUCKING DEXTER. Those shows are often intensely focused on that character's biased POV, which creates understanding, which breeds empathy...for some genuinely heinous dudes.
