The Nerd Thread (comics, movies, anime, cartoons, video games, lore, fun stuff, ect.)

@northern haste
Visually impressive. I wish more adaptations of cartoons had a look like this. Everything looks like the cartoon brought to life, but it’s all grounded in reality as well.

Heffalumps and Woozles.

How did these two species as a whole get such a bad rap to where every other creature dislikes/fears them greatly in The 100 Acre Wood?

I know that Lumpy eventually came along to dispel that negative energy…

…but that still doesn’t really answer why and how they’re seen as menaces in the first place.

@CaptainXtra
Elephants and weasels. I understand weasels being mistrusted, but elephants?

@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
Elephant are strong and their sound and size can be terrifying.

Would you believe me if I told you one of the artists who worked on the Mega Man Archie comic also did this?

@Penguin Dragneel
of mice and mega man

Guys.

Guys?

One Cut of the Dead (2017) is SPECIAL.

History nerd rant.

People are mad that the Netflix docudrama about Alexander the Great “made him gay”.

Yes, it “made him gay” the guy who would spend hours alone in his tent with his “best friend”. A “best friend” that when he died Alexander had the doctor crucified, burned down a temple to the God of healing, and raised the largest funeral pyre in human history for him.

Alexander was so Bi we should put him on our pride flag.

@Zincy
Wasn’t ancient Greece basically just a giant gay orgy?
One thing I do know as it was before christ homosexuality wasn’t seen as a sin back then.

@Zincy
Alexander the Great was bi? That is awesome!

The best part is people flipping out over Twitter community notes pointing out that yeah, historians agree that Alexander the Great loved hot dogs as much as tacos.

The many giant naked statues with perfectly sculpted dicks was a tip off that yeah, Ancient Europe was gay AF.

Moana 2
November

The tv show became a movie

Percy Jackson has been renewed for season 2

@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
I guess one might see Heffalumps as mindless brutes?

But what caused them to get that rep in the first place is a mystery…

@Zincy
There is a reason the “historians think they were very good friends” memes exists,

@Dustcan
I don’t think hot dogs and tacos were invented when he was alive.

@CaptainXtra
I mean, I expect an elephant could be pretty destructive just by accident. It is a very big animal.

@phoenixacezero
penis and vagina.
cocks and cunts.

@Angrybrony
I figured that out after going up and looking for the topic. Thought it be interesting to post what I thought first. Thanks for telling me though.

@Thanotos Omega
“Historians think gay people are straight with close friends” is a bullshit myth

@Zincy
It’s actually not confirmed whether Alexander and Hephaestion were lovers, but there are a lot “that’s kinda extreme even for close friends” moments in the history books

Like them circling the tombs of Achilles and Patroclus(while the two aren’t explicitly homosexual in the Iliad, many Greek writers before Alexander very much thought they were) and Alexander grieving hardcore over his death(the fact that he tried to deify him as a god like future emperor Hadrian did when his twink boyfriend died isn’t lost on me)

It’s worth noting that if they did have a homosexual relationship, they would have an interest in concealing it because either one of them being a “bottom” in a gay relationship would be deeply embarrassing(because you know, Ancient Greece), so that could be an explanation why it isn’t explicit in ancient sources

With that being said he had explicitly homosexual relations with a Persian eunuch called Bagoas so he was definitely bi at least

@Commune
See, now that’s kind of reasoning I respect.

I’m on both sides of the window.

You know what’s kinda funny?

Half of us here might be completely irrelevant by next year, the other half start losing relevance.

By 2025, GenZ are officially, old.

It’s Gen Alpha’s turn now. Hope you’re ready.
