TheQuartering is probably gonna have a tantrum over this.

Fairly odd parents?

His actor, in an awful movie.

He plays what I’m pretty sure is going to be my sleep paralysis demon for the next few nights.

Name of the movie?

Star Games.

It’s like The Room, but worse.

Ok, I’ve seen some pretty stupid alien weaknesses.

Water, sunlight, high pitched noises…insulin is a new one. I can honestly say that I definitely did not see that coming.

@Zincy
I’ll say this about Star Games it still has a better depiction of diabetes than Con Air.

Thanks.

I forgot about that and now instantly regret being reminded.

@Zincy
At least it’s hard to acquire.

wut.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
You’re gonna have to trot out whatever stupid thing you’re peeved about this time before i attempt to explain anything.

@WyrmSpawN
Can you not?

I don’t understand why it’s okay to genderswap when it’s with the fandom but not when it’s with official stuff, especially made by Hollywood.

For example, a fan changes the gender of an established character, people call it cool and it’s okay. But when the entertainment industry (let alone Hollywood) plan for a genderswap for an existing character (regardless of recycling what’s already done instead of making a new character or just have a different take in terms of characterization) it’s suddenly woke trash and makes a project automatically bad. It makes no sense.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
Because when a fan does it, it tends to just be a few pieces of media explicitly done for a laugh to genuine art, Hollywood does it in a whole production to make a buck off people who think it needs to happen for some nebulous societal “benefit”, often much worse than its original because its main motivation is feeding a fleeting modern day conceit. And it certainly doesn’t help that the swaps tend to be in one direction.

And no, I will continue so long as you do.

So, Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro, has unfortunately passed away.

@Background Pony #1EE7
I already said that on the vent thread and this sucks.

My condolences goes to the staff at Hasbro, Wizards and eOne as well as Ms. Barbara Goldner and Brooke Goldner.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
Yeah.

I remember Goldner taking a medical leave beforehand. Rich Stoddart was made interim CEO. I now wonder if he’ll end up being a permanent CEO?

@Background Pony #1EE7
I’m calling it.

@Hollowfox Jaeger
Well, Stoddart has 7 years experience, so i agree.

I also wonder if the G5 special and series, as well as the Generations comic mini-series will have a dedication for Goldner?

Another thought: How will the new CEO treat MLP?

@Background Pony #A667
Maybe not now

I will never understand people who think that Grunts are totally harmless and innocent:

Remember that a Grunt could 1v1 a normal person:

if i had a nickel for ever bunny furry in star wars i’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

so like we all can agree that there’s no reason for this bunny girl to be a bunny other then furry thirst?

@Angrybrony
I heard her race is going to appear in upcoming arc on Doctor Aphra

@Angrybrony
‘symbolic’
‘non-human being’

Quite literally no good reason.

Could have made any kind of interesting alien, but nope. Furry rabbit. Doesn’t even slightly extra-terrestrial.

Even some defensive spines lining her ears would have elevated her design.
