Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@ColdhardSilver  
Pretty sure the collective anons on the other boards would lose their shit if it was repealed.

Belle was perfect in the original Beauty and the Beast. She was courageous and clever, charming and smart, and she’s the kind of character that works already as an outstanding role model for the children watching the film. She knows when to stand up for herself, and understands her own value. She loves to read, with an imagination and firm sense of self.
 
There wasn’t that much more you could add and taking away her father being an eccentric inventor, this making him less respected by the town and offering more justification on how Gaston was able to have him put into the loony bin, to give such to her was not the right choice in expanding her character.

“Edgy” is getting overused.

My single biggest complaint about any NC/Doug Walker thing, is his complaining about the ships in Treasure Planet,

@Thanotos Omega  
Weird. Are his skits with his shitty stories really that funny? I cringed at the end of his Cool World review.

@Ponynstuff320 (Toon-n-crossover  
I don’t have a problem with them. They let him express his opinions that he couldn’t otherwise.

@Ponynstuff320 (Toon-n-crossover, @Meanlucario  
Honestly though what could he do? Doug had to get more and more creative in doing his own work in the reviews since he kept having to worry so much about false copyright strikes on his videos. As such, instead of using clips from the show he had it so that he and those who work with him act out the scenes. I can respect him for such.

@EquestrianScholar  
Reviews have been done without clips for years, Doug just thought of a way to spice it up.

Most recent movie remakes still suck. I don’t care if it’s now somehow cool to like them.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Which ones?

@Meanlucario  
Fair enough, but for the point I was making I do find the skits entertaining for the most part.

@EquestrianScholar  
Same, and I wasn’t trying to disagree with you.

@Meanlucario  
Most. Stuff like Ghostbusters, Ben-Hur, Beauty and the Beast, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, any remakes where the question can legitimately be asked, “Why even bother?”

@TheHappySpaceman  
You saw Doug’s latest video as well, I take it?

@Meanlucario  
I did. The odd thing is, I was talking about movie remakes with Skye before I even saw that video be released. So I was basically making the same points with her.

@TheHappySpaceman  
You have to love timing.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Does he mention that remaking bad movies might be a good idea?

@gingerninja666  
He does! He talks about how he would find remakes of movies like Drop Dead Fred interesting because the originals had interesting concepts but bad execution.
 
One of my favorite recent remakes is John Johnson’s Plan 9, which took the concept of Plan 9 from Outer Space, one of the most notoriously bad movies of all time, but expanded on it.
 
@Meanlucario  
LOL, right?

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Didn’t Johnson’s Plan 9 basically turn it into a straight-up horror film? I think there was another remake of it someone made that basically embraced the cheesiness of the original.

@Jarkes  
It kind of did and kind of didn’t. I actually interviewed Johnson about his movie (he filmed a lot of it in Charlottesville) and he cited John Carpenter as a major influence, and it shows. There are intense moments and scares as well as plenty of jokes and other clever moments. Like the original, Johnson’s version had the Bela Lugosi role played by two actors. There were cheesy effects and more convincing ones. I suggest checking it out regardless of what IMDB says–they also gave a 6.4 to The Oogieloves, so what do they know?

Minecraft’s okay and all, but its creator Notch is a complete douchebag.

@Jarkes  
… Huh? Care to explain your reasoning.

@Jarkes  
What did he do?

@EquestrianScholar
 
He frequently calls people who disagree with him “c***s”, and is generally an asshole to everyone around him.
 
Heck, apparently no one at his own company liked him all that much either and were glad when he left.
