You know, the Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure ride at Disneyland’s California Adventure’s Avengers Campus area predicted all of this.

The LEGO turtle from It infamously uses 2x2 lime green tile bricks, not introduced until the 2000s. What fewer people bring up is that it ALSO uses Mixel eyes, introduced for the Mixels line in 2014.

Saturday Night Live don’t hire the actual scum of the Earth challenge (difficulty: impossible— Shane McGillis, Dave Chapelle, and the guy who was formerly fired for being racist, before he got to do SNL again for some reason and he made a bunch of anti-autism jokes)

Goddammit, this could’ve been peak, we've gone nine years without a Star Wars shooter other than that weird mobile hero shooter nobody asked for. AI just has to ruin EVERYTHING…

I can’t watch KOG for a lot of reasons, the last one is subjective but the first two should be agreeable. 1. Glitch sucks, Glitch hires racists 🤮🤢 2. KOG fans are often transphobic because of the hate Dana got for confirming Franky is cis. 3. “Disney bad” is petty and overdone. Nothing tops Shrek.

Just found out the subscription comics app being put out by Webtoon is exclusively for Marvel, and I won’t be able to pay for premium Boyfriends comics where I can stare at their buns in 4K

It seems like there’s always a new Carrie remake, and it’s never quite as good as the original. I’ve never seen any of the adaptations or read the book, personally.

Does Inktober have to be drawing? I suck at drawing. Like, ”you shouldn’t even want to see it“-level suck. But I can do photoshops and toy photography pretty well. Is that acceptable for this trend? I could even do stop-motion clips.

Such an iconic cult classic, to join the ranks of underrated gems like The Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, Undertale, and Deltarune.

The Ring, but it’s an allegory for how unpopular Muppets is in Japan. A lot of Muppets stuff isn’t dubbed there. To most Japanese people, Muppets are an unfamiliar thing to suddenly see, not as bad as a ghost crawling out of your TV, but still. Muppets crawling out instead would be scary anywhere.

It’s so hard to pick just one. I could cite so many, but I’ll just stick with the opening of Deadpool and Wolverine.

Brendan Payne @brendanpayne.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

There's a new Harry Potter fandom trend of gender-swapping Malfoy and calling him a (honestly, the worst) misogynistic slur. Let this be your reminder (or epiphany) that HP, as a franchise, is funding misogyny, especially towards trans people. This trend isn't an outlier; it's reaping what JK sows.

Brendan Payne @brendanpayne.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Eminem fans SWEAR that he’s not racist, misogynistic, or homophobic and that he’s actually a trans ally somehow. Okay, so what the fuck is this? The “Eminem is not racist, he had Black friends” argument was bullshit then, and it’s even more obvious bullshit now. I was never wrong about Eminem.

Without spoiling exactly who, all of these LEGO sets include at least one character who dies in Avengers: Doomsday. Good luck figuring out who's who!

I never predicted Geller was a rapist- hell no; only the victims and the people who heard from them knew that, but he was sus. IIRC, he shat on Battlefield 5 for being "too diverse" once. BF5 shouldn't have had a multiplayer where you play as Nazis, but "the Nazis were too diverse" wasn't the issue.

We were shocked when ”progressive” Joss Whedon was a sex pest. We were shocked when “progressive” JKR turned out to be a genocidal Nazi sex pest. We were shocked when “progressive” Neil Gaiman was a rapist. Some are even shocked when VTubers turn out to be Nazis. When do we stop trusting the famous?

This Sentinel looks badass, and I love the battle-damaged head and arm options. So I MIGHT get this set, but it's still $100, and apparently the long Reed legs are super brittle. BUT I finally have a debit card, and fate knows I'm not gonna be wise with my spending.

I'm Brenda(n?). I write horror screenplays; I'll probably make them into independent movies or web series. I have aphantasia, so I hate reading. I'd prefer not to publish my work as books. My favorite music is copyright-free; it can be any genre. I want to think ahead and time my scripts to songs.

Class consciousness won’t let me enjoy anything. I got one episode into Black Butler before looking up the lore and going “wait, Ciel is the fucking 1% and an enforcer of Queen Victoria?” and now it‘s weird. A rich guy kills people for the British Empire? At least One Piece would never 🫡

This isn't even a stretch, he already did Skeleton Crew which was a Star Wars show. And he's best known for the Spider-Man Home trilogy, which was also done under Disney.

These could've all easily been LEGO games, so I tried to limit this to one per franchise. There were a lot of very hard choices here! I stuck with the ones that are endlessly replayable and fundamentally affected who I am today, how I tell stories, and how I create. #my9games

If Encore is such a big deal, where's the LEGO set for it? We haven't gotten a single Endgame set since last year; surely SOMETHING should've been released to coincide with it. There are so many more scenes than the portal one, but LEGO refuses to see that. What about The Ronin vs. the Yakuza?

Brendan Payne @brendanpayne.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I will never understand why millennials finds Bane having an accent in The Dark Knight Rises so funny (yes, he was whitewashed and that’s terrible, but this has nothing to do with that). Above all else, I’ll never understand why Bane parodies make him sound like Frylock instead of TDKR Bane.

I've seen: Half of Breaking Bad (on my phone for a lot of it, can't help my autism) Andor Stranger Things Squid Game It's fucking disgusting that transphobic ass Dave Chapelle and RuPaul are even on here at all, no less above Stranger Things.

No offensive content or anything weird that causes pro vs. anti-ship/fiction debates. There's no way I'm ever getting enough of a platform to get fan art, though, so I don't have to worry about that. I barely even share my OCs at all because there's nothing stopping corporations from stealing them.

That would be cool, but I don’t know if Disney would take a risk with an R-rated Daredevil movie. Deadpool was a proven hit at the box office before Deadpool and Wolverine, so that wasn’t as much of a risk.

I like Disney+ ads, tbh. They give me time to use the restroom or check stuff out on my phone. I never watch movies or shows alone, so I can’t just pause them. And there’s no reason to get a higher tier now (which I haven’t been on for the past three years) so money well spent on the lower tier!

I swear I'm not a Snyder Bro. The only Snyder movies I actually like are Zack Snyder's Justice League and Watchmen, but LEGO is cheaping out by not remaking the JL Batmobile. We only ever got one in a $130 set, which costs $300 on the aftermarket, and it's not the accurate gray color.

It doesn't help that China is a "social market economy" (capitalist) and Russia today is ruled by a kleptocratic Nazi government. The latter is the fault of NATO, not Stalin at all, but it's certainly interesting how few "leftists" accept the reality that that's what the Russian government is today.
