Lanterns kind of comes close, but overall I think "surf dracula" is an overstated concept. A lot of the examples given on Know Your Meme are origin story movies, rather than a prestige streaming drama (also theres Netflix Avatar, which as far as I know starts in the same place as the 2005 show).

Any story about a man sexually assaulting or rapibg someone is horrible. Saying a bear is more useful or otherwise preferable in a rescue scenario than a man even in response to said story is obscene.

From the Wikipedia page for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the 3DS: "A remake of the original Nintendo 64 game, it features updated graphics, quality of life changes, stereoscopic 3D effects". The source incidentally is the Iwata Asks interview with Miyamoto.

If you are opposing what the BBC director general said about a fully AI episode of Doctor Who he was sent online because "Doctor Who episode budgets should be silly sets and toasters" you have absolutely lost it.

Moffat Sherlock hate in 2026 is bait. Don't rise to it, Josh. Also, I'm not even sure if I've got round to a rewatch lately.

There's probably legit criticisms of the Whittaker and Ncuti years but people who say things introduced in 2005 like a story arc structure or romance is how Doctor Who went wrong sometimes feels like one of those soldiers in a remote location still fighting World War II thirty years later.

"Zelda was better when Nintendo said there was no timeline" So....1986 I guess?

I don't think Takaya Imamura leaving Nintendo in 2021 debunks the puppet thing, it just means it's only AN offered explanation rather than THE explanation of the Zelda remake's art direction.

Josh @burnoodtakedown.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
The Zelda timeline isn't automatically the most interesting part of my favourite video game series and its cohesiveness can be a mixed bag. Nonetheless I always side eye those arrogant "it's not real, it's retellings" takes.

To be honest, the Castle Town NPCs looking simplistic compared to Link or Zelda IS in a way faithful to the original Ocarina of Time

What hyperrealistic AAA games have characters that actually look like Ocarina of Time '26 anyway? It feels closest in vibe to Twilight Princess or Hyrule Warriors, especially for the major characters and bosses.

You can disagree with the decisions made for the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake without peddling the nonsense lie that Nintendo's recent slate is only remake after remake.

Josh @burnoodtakedown.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Yes the new Nintendo releases are primarily geared for children and not aging millennials. I have no reason to assume that wouldn't be the case for the Ocarina of Time and Star Fox remakes.

tapping from a previous thread i wrote
"it looks like ai" is a bad insult in general, because that's going to shift over time. It is especially aggravating when directed towards human made stuff. The implication here is that you're only opposed to ai because it looks bad. You only think that "good" art is worthy of no harassment

I actually do like how it looks for the most part but please learn how to be an actual hater and stop calling it AI. It's very obviously not ai you just don't like anything from nintendo looking more realistic than BotW.

Many Zelda games from Wind Waker mention past heroes. Waker itself refers to the hero of time by name. They're standalone enough, but there's many that are individually prequels or sequels and even (admittedly contradictory) origins of hero's clothes. Which WW and Twilight Princess Link are handed.

What are people even yelling about in the quotes? This type of RPG element, whether or not it fits Tomb Raider, doesn't even feel uniquely AAA or indie, never mind BotW.

Far too many people: "To save Doctor Who, it should have [thing that Russell T Davies actually did do or try to do]". Doctor Who has had one serialised "convoluted" arc. Arguably two, and in any case neither of them in series showran by RTD.

If people (and I've seen it repeatedly) get the easily checkable episode count of Gatwa Doctor Who off by 11%, it makes me question other bigger things you have to say. Someone on a Doctor Who feed I follow even said 15 wasn't in all of his 16 episodes so it's still a thing bsky.app/profile/burn...

Not even Ugly Sonic 2 looks like Ugly Sonic lol, he feels sorta stretched out.
The human proportioned Fortnite version of Sonic with technologically inspired feet and shoulder guards, and a head with the proportions of an old extra life symbol or the Sonic Team logo.The human proportioned Sonic from the original 2020 movie's trailer, with super realistic shoes, tinier eyes and ears, paler fur (including the belly and muzzle), faux glove like hands, and much less noodly rubberhosey arms and legs.

Been said in the comments here and absolutely worth re-iterating that the same goes for being homophobic to shitty gay folks, or transphobic towards shitty trans people You just found someone you feel safe being bigoted towards, you're still doing the Bigotry. Fix your heart.

It is important to keep this in circulation
Insult Deflection or Insult Reflection is a single-panel cartoon illustrating the effects one's insults or other forms of verbal attacks directed at a disliked person can inadvertently have on their mutuals, depicting a stick figure shooting at another, who then deflects it into a third person. Spawned by a viral Tumblr post about bodyshaming, the cartoon has been used as an exploitable meme since June 2022.

You do not get to denounce bodyshaming but then use bodyshaming against bad people. Either you think bodyshaming is wrong because it's a fundamentally flawed way of criticizing other people, or you are *pretending* to feel that way so you can sound more progressive than you really are.

"30 movies and 10 shows are required viewing for the Marvel Cinematic Universe" is a creaky strawman argument. I think it's fair to say Avengers 1-4 and Civil War are semi necessary for anything post Blip, and it's definitely weird that Cap 4 was a stealth sequel to the Hulk, but come on dude.
