@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
Heh, I guess we do get a bit cranky about modern stuff these days.

I will admit that I often prefer watching streaming over blu rays to this day for the sake of convenience.

The only problem is when the streaming service gets rid of certain stuff.

Perhaps something can be done like you download a permission file that will give a family access to it for all eternity.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Streaming is convenient but if I own something physically then I own it can’t be delisted or taken away from unless they break into my house so there’s a certain comfort in that knowledge.

@Darth Prime
The real truth is I may just buy a dvd or video not to actually watch it on those, but almost that they function like an external hard drive. Just in case. Backup.

Or the pride of saying you own it, even if it’s in your closet never to be opened until the dark day the streaming service messes up.

@Darth Prime
What if you’re out of space for your home?

Streaming itself isn’t bad. The idea of having a large amount of movies/shows for you to watch whenever you want all in the one place is a good idea.

The problem is things like the prices getting jacked up, and the fact that nowadays you DON’T have everything in the one place becuase of all these different services

Streaming is great.

Immortal Dragon Tatsu

and to some extent

Fushiguro Toji
Bardock (Canon)

their wives fixed them somehow.

That went on for too long. It wasn’t Alec Baldwin’s fault he was given a gun loaded with real bullets. The crew were supposed to make sure it was a safe prop.

The Astro Boy Movie didn’t make sense in many places but this is the biggest issue…

Toby’s body outright gets disintegrated due to a wave of energy exposure from the Red Core with the exception of his hat:

But the President somehow survives after literally getting absorbed and later blown up:

Another gloriously hype moment, this time from Immortal Hulk.

Issue begins with some philosophizing about monsters and their nature, but while it started out vague it started to get oddly specific as it went on. Until finally we find out the narration was building up to the incredible return of Joe Fixit.

@Dustcan
Ngl seeing all tgis build up to a big page thar just says “IT’S JOE” is really funny of you are just a casual fan who has no idea about the other Hulk sonas

And that’s what’s so darn frustrating.

Banner has so many different Hulks in his head that you could legit fill a show with Banner and his various DID alters alone.

But all any shows, games and especially movies adapt is Banner and one Hulk. The boring Hulk at that.

@Dustcan
Because that’s the most easy to understand and famous version of the Hulk. “Meek scientist gets caught in experiment gone wrong, turns into powerful green brute when angry” is a lot more easier to digest then “meek scientists gets caught in experiment gone wrong, turns into a grey brute who acts like a stereotypical 1940s gangster because that’s what he’s abusive dad’s idea of what a real man should be like”

You gotta remember adaptations need to appeal to the casuals too and not just the hardwire needs., its why you should just stick to the more normal, basic stuff with adaptions abd not all the more “out there” stuff.

Yeah I know. But it’s so boring to see the same old when there’s gold material just waiting to be utilized.

And technically Joe Fixit is what a teenage Banner thinks a real man is supposed to be thanks to a diet of old mobster movies. Guilt Hulk is what he thinks an abusive father is supposed to be.

@Dustcan
What if Kong moves in on her?

Does Godzilla have to suplex an ape off the Pyramids again?

So how we feeling the new no titty suit?

@Angrybrony
It’s pretty fire. I wish he could’ve kept the trunks his Ma gave him though.

@Salamenace
they really added so much.
