I still think the black panther strailer makes Black Panther look overpowered as fuck for the type of villains he seems to be fighting.

You think any time the hero beats the villain they’re overpowered or cheated.

It feels like every time I see him post something non-pony related, it’s to complain about overpowered superheroes or underpowered villains.

Wow! You were born during the height of disco’s popularity! XD
I know this isn’t the right place to ask this, but how was it like growing up in the late 80’s and early 90’s? Experiencing the pop culture phenomenons that are remembered today?

Somehow I still feel like you would complain about them.

For me it’s simple. If your conflict is built around a villain trying to do a bad thing, I should buy that he’s capable of succeeding, unless your story is built around some other aspect and the villain doesn’t matter.
You won’t see me saying Inside Out is anything other than one of my favourite movies ever, because it doesn’t bother having a worthless villain in it.

Ehh, no, not quite. I was born right at the end of disco’s popularity, in 1979. That was the Disco Duck era. Disco was tired and kind of a joke by that point. The ‘80s I honestly only remember snippets of from the last few years. I remember Twisted Sister and Van Halen on MTV, Aerosmith, Guns n’ Roses, Prince, NEW Michael Jackson videos(!). I used to watch a lot of my parents’ old VHS tapes where they had taped older music videos from the early ‘80s. I remember loving “Say, Say, Say” from MJ and Paul McCartney, Bonnie Tyler, Eurythmics and “Out of Touch” by Hall and Oates.
On TV, it was fun watching Nickelodeon in its heyday when JD Roth was hosting game shows and “You Can’t Do That on Television” was dumping green slime on kids. I remember running home from the park on the day Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered and being amazed by it. I remember getting a NES, my first game console, back in ’88 after getting jealous because my friend had one. My dad would laugh at the dog in Duck Hunt. I would die constantly to Bowser in SMB. I became a “bad enough dude” to rescue the president in Bad Dudes. I rented video games from Music Forum, a now long-defunct music and media store in my hometown.
In the ‘90s, I was living in California to witness the rise of grunge and MC Hammer. I actually saw the premiere of “You Can’t Touch This” on a mall TV when I was doing the mallrat thing with a few friends in ‘91. Super Nintendo blew my mind. In ‘93 I solidified myself as a Sonic fan when I saw SatAM for the first time. I started drawing about that time, too. And I subscribed to GamePro, pretty much my only source for video game info before the rise of the internet.
Overall the world felt more innocent back then, though I’m quite sure it wasn’t. Things like the LA riots and first Gulf War stick out of me as times when I learned the world was more violent than I thought it could ever be. So I hope that helps some.

I tend to complain about villains if I think they suck, and often, villains suck in MArvel movies. I’ll give them credit if they do them well, but so often they’re only vaguely threatening losers who exist to be humiliated and torn apart at the end and I don’t feel like the movie really cares about them, so why are they there? If the only thing that matters is the hero being badass then what kind of story is that?

They just so rarely feel bothered to give them enough time. And again, the heroes always have to look good against htem, so I rarely find them threatening either.

Wow, that was a great read!
Warning nitpick time: Disco Duck was actually in 1976. The year you were born in IS disco’s twilight years and its peak in popularity. It was also the same year where it died more or less. It wasn’t until the following year (1980) when it was viewed as a joke. As a music historian, that first part bugged me so sorry about the nitpick.
Why of course, everyone back then grew up watching MTV, even me. (when it was on its last legs on actually showing music) Say Say Say is one of my favorite songs of the 80’s and I love the vid. I’ve never heard of Music Forum and I’ll check out what it is eventually. Oh yeah, MC Hammer aka, the epitome of early 90’s pop culture. I bet everyone must’ve been excited watching that premiere huh?
I agree on that last part. I personally hate it when people say that “the world was simpler back then unlike today” when as a historian I say “no, no it wasn’t.” The LA riots WAS indeed one of the ugliest things to happen here in America, and your analogy on the world being an ugly place is not false considering that there are people (especially 90’s kids) who only remember the good stuff, cherish it, and deny all the bad things that happened. I enjoyed reading this, you’re a cool guy.

I hate Christmas music and when radio stations force the same songs over and over, it gets tiresome. There’s more to Nat King Cole than “Merry Christmas To You” and more to Brenda Lee than “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

Animated emojis are an absolutely awful idea and should be purged from existence.

The whole concept of emojis is stupid and I bet you that it’s going to be outdated in about ten years and will remain a piece of 2010’s culture, just like with MySpace in the 2000’s and Tamagotchi in the 90’s.
