Netflix animation is weirdly inconsistent. They have have really good things like Klaus or F is for Family, the mediocre like Dragon Prince and Scrooge or the worst like Big Mouth.

I find it's more how much control a creator has over a particular series in how it's able to defy the guidelines of having to add in blacks and homos into a series. For Klaus and Green Snake for instance, they were foreign films that were already completed and Netflix just picked up distribution rights. F is for Family did have an ep or two focusing on Rosy but you can tell Bill was fighting for that 5th season to wrap everything up.

Dragon Prince though started out kinda interesting but has honestly lost me in how mediocre it's become. The timeskip in the latest season hasn't helped any.

But yeah, the longer a series goes on, the longer that Netflix has certain demands that have to be included or no funding.

Helsreach. Easily one of the best stories. Not only is it an audiobook but said audiobook was turned into a 2 hour 30 minute movie

It's about the Black Templar Grimaldas and his defence of the hive city of Helsreach on Armageddon during the third war. Helbrecht sent him there because he knew the city would not hold without a spiritual champion to lead it. The end result is the city slowly falling into ruin after months of fighting and the imperials making the orks pay for every district they take.

His sentences:

6 concurrent life sentences for murder.

55 felony charges of reckless endangerment. Total is 760 years with about 320 supervised.

The roman empire could rise and fall twice and he'd still be locked up.

6 vehicular homicide charges, another 150 years total.

He still has a case in Milwaukee about the assault on his ex I think. But yes, he's never getting out from behind bars.

The most interesting thing about this was the judge also ordered him to pay 170k in restitution and legal fees. This is going to be taken from his prison canteen account. And since printing license plates makes you 25 cents an hour, that means no Ramen for him.

Just want it known that these "activists" are 0/4 on actually hurting the paintings. They're glassed and glazed in a way that the paint only soaks into the frame.

Still, they are doing this for attention.

Women describing the steps of the launch as the rocket is launched. Cuts to two more women about how loud the rocket was.

Stopped right there. Nasa really has gone down hill. That being said, that rocket was bright. Even at 2AM Florida time, you could see it clearly as it trailed up.

Ah, good old Snoot Game. Played it, loved it. Yes, it does star dinos but there's something here that Volcano High doesn't have. Heart.

GVH is progressive ideas first. Notice in the article it lists the first thing Fang is is Non-Binary. In Snoot, you first get to know her. Know that the non-binary BS was pushed by her friend to stand out. It's the slow building of characters which was something in another 4chan VN, Katawa Shoujo, did well.

Snoot has a follow up called "I wanna hug that gator" coming out real soon. It should be noted that GVH still isn't out yet and it's been almost a year since Snoot came out.

If anyone wants the artbook of Batman: TAS, can find it here. Yes it is that site but it is genuine. For some reason people upload dark horse artbooks here.

Alot of national industries got nationalized during WW2. LuftHansa, Hugo Boss, Messerschmitt, Krupp, Henschel, Porsche for the Nazis, Mutsubishi and Nakajima Aircraft Company (which became Subaru) for the Japanese. Even Ford was partly nationalised in the US despite being a thing socialist governments do, the very people they were fighting.

Point is that when you have a manufacturing sector like in Germany and you have a party with the strength to force them into the war effort, there's not a whole lot the company can do to not comply.

Modern day Volkswagon pulling ads is just a virtue signal.

It's a string of scenes and ideas with montages and breakneck pace to make it smudge together.

The first 3 episodes all happen in one day, then episode 4 is an entire montage and skips over the interesting shit of David learning the ropes for more montages.

Remember the first part of 2077 where it skips that massive part in-between arriving at the city and the job to get the Arasaka chip? That happens here and you say it's good?

Did you also forget that the diversity panel wanted to kick out Rebecca because "Loli isn't applicable for Cyberpunk." Cyberdong advertisements are but loli enhancements are where we draw the line. And she turned into the most popular character of the show but Trigger had to say she stays in or she'd be out.

And the god damn ending. That stupid song with David going full Gary-Stu? It's never explained why Cyberpsychosis is a thing, it's just something that happens. In Shadowrun, Essence is directly tied to cyber enhancement. How much Essence you lose is directly tied to how many body parts you replace. Here, Cyberpsychosis just happens. No in show reason as to why people just go crazy.

In short, I watched this with a bunch of guys and I was wondering why I wasn't liking it. And it's everything but the animation and character designs that were all Trigger. The story is breakneck pace, the tone is inconsistent, the characters are killed off so quickly and in gory fashion to provoke response like GoT. The music is modern day pop garbage, like the stuff you'd find on stations in 2077.

So yeah, this show is bad. Do yourself a favor and get the Laughing Man OVA of GITS Stand Alone Complex, that's 3 hours as well and does such a better characterization and slower pace compared to Edgerunners.

It's 3 seasons worth of material fit into 10 episodes that couldn't even do that right.

Don't use the Alex Jones trial as a viewpoint. The judge has been incredibly patient with Brooks because he could appeal based on racial discrimination if the Judge threw the book at him.

She didn't and any appeal based on those grounds would likely fail. She also had to spend so much time lecturing Brooks because he kept interrupting and was representing himself. It's not easy to control a nigga and not give him avenues of appeal with a case of national attention like this.

11: 22 a.m.: The jury found Brooks guilty of all 76 charges. His bond was revoked.

He's been buried in a hole so deep the earth will turn over a hundred times before his bones are found.

You can also find previous day summaries on .wisn.com. To say the trial has been hard for the judge is an understatement.

Closed mine and I've had a Paypal since the early 2000s. It was the only choice back then but places like Steam offer a direct card service these days, bypassing the need for Paypal.

If they want to do something like fine me for something they find bad, then I'm not using them as a service, simple as that.

The best example of this is Ozymandious revealing his plan and everyone's excuses to why they should go along with the plan.

Manhattan sees only the logic and doesn't care for millions killed in NY. Apathy.

Lorrie only sees all the bodies and blood and is lost in grief.

Dan compromises, rationalizes by saying it's above his pay-grade.

All the while the scene zooms in on Rorschach's mask before he delivers his line.

The whole of watchmen tries to paint collectivism as a good thing yet ironically because Rorschach exists, there will also be someone somewhere who'll leak files, help someone wanted and generally be subversive even to their own detriment. Because their morals and convictions mean more than going along with the herd.

Written by a former writer on TNG, who took some left over scripts from the show, approached the Henson company to make his sci-fi show and they said okay.

I really do kinda miss it. Some of the pacing in episodes is all over the place but ones that stand out like Different Destinations are better than even TNG could offer.
