IDubbbz’s Wife Is Ruining His Life.. "nothing wrong with that"

this is whole "btw, nothing wrong with that" so you don't piss off a smooth brain in your chat is so fickle & timid, & creators have been doing it for years and years. Makes it so hard to trust people to be real sometimes because they hold back & you can tell. People are not owed cosign, a kink is not a cosmically sacred concept that is exempt from criticism. They're not genetic nor serve an evolutionary advantage, they're nurture, not nature. It's not like coming at someone's tribe or something. If a chic gets off on rolling in mud in her living room with a pig mask on consensual with hubby; I'm not gonna sit here & Vaultboy Thumbs up for optics with a straight face because "I'm a good person". Miss me with that crap. Such a sterile mindset in terms of nuanced takes or lack thereof, cause some creators are so reliably robotic, because anything & everything is okay because some NPC in chat might be into it, who gives a shit if they are, it's still stupid And the one of few times a streamer will criticize anything is when it's easy targets or they're fighting with another creator in some drama and they eventually make it personal. So roasting Ian for having a V-card for so long is fine or saying "he likes to watch" as a joke is okay cause it's drama context but you have to disclaim there's nothing wrong with consent shoving pegs into another human being, regardless of why NPC feels the need to do that to express or feel secure sexually, because "I'm a good person, I'm tolerant, pls don't unsub", pure phony. Pick a lane. People need to stop lowering their head for the sake of means & then going hardmode when it's convenient in these dramas and then expose people & their kinks & everything else, AND ONLY THEN it's okay to roast it. At that point, you're not even criticizing it in the right frame of mind to help, contribute, tough love or enlighten anything, when it's drama related or personal, now your intentions are corrupted. Now you're actively going after someone, weaponizing whatever you can to hurt them. Wrong energy. This is why accountability needs to be second nature, not kept in a vault to re-purpose as information warfare leverage against someone when it suits the plot. People gotta be more consistent,.

"What was the point of THE DESCENT PART II? So they changed the ending and still made a flop out of a hit movie." - I agree

 

*originally typed AUG 2024

Just finished it. It was filibuster to reach the exact same conclusion as the first, just a worse movie you have ta sit through to get to it.

Unnecessary sequel, granted it was nice to see Juno being a beast as usual and her & Sarah getting some kind of closure but thats the only thing that was accomplished.

 a lot of contrivances (like the amnesia angle being the writers forced reason to get Sarah back in the cave somehow) , worse effects, we know what the crawlers shit pit looks like, we still see the crawlers taking turns killing instead hunting as group, we only see ONE female crawler, no kids, no babies, no elderly, no nest, the crawlers look worse than before.

 The direction was worse, the use of light took the threat level away from the crawlers and the fact that they keep getting bodied. And how its shot looks cheap. bad Cgi = points taken.

But again, Juno dead, Sarah dead. Same exact result as the first, which was presumed anyway. Realistically.

Juno vs all those crawlers, dead.

Sarah resigns herself to her fate with the illusion of Jessica in her final moments giving her some peace as death closed in.

The first movie ended perfectly.

No we didnt get the closure, but the lack of closure was part of the point of the "descent" into chaos, division, anarchy, primality.

Juno was cool, I personally liked her the most. While it was full circle she finally apologize, she did not deserve closure, she was a snake.

The sequel wasnt worth that one moment. Rios being denied because Ed psychically knew where she was going to be or he knew there was only w exits but then how did he know WHEN to be there, or why he presumes the crawlers wont kill them all outside Sarah being a fluke.  Bullshit.

Stupid. Stupid contrivance.

I watched it for more Crawler lore, and I learned they do indeed have a toilet, which I figured as much. Waste of time. Im confused why we only get one female type per movie. Where do they keep the children?

The best part about it was Ed hyping up the dread of the caves being a descent to hell, his gramps not surviving the trip. Chills.

The buildup to the caves were the best bit.

Writing was ass, story was ass, Juno & Sarah carried to a moot end, lore was painfully ass compared to the first.

Ed is protecting/preserving the crawlers, we dont know why or how his Granddads death relates to it or if the crawlers even see him as a benefactor.

What he gets out of it, and now more people are missing, including Law Enforcement personnel = more search party-

A loose end that was avoided with the first because nobody knew where the women were.

We gained absolutely nothing.

Hasan Just Responded In The Dumbest Way..

19:12 if "he didn't pay" comes out her mouth because you didn't treat her to the 12 yr old experience like you're her Father or if you hear or see if she said commented this--- you're babysitting a child.

Cut her loose. Go date a woman instead.

Has Joe Rogan’s Stance On Atheism Started To Shift?

the universe doesn't abide by human standard, but how humans operate help solve the riddle that something didn't come from spontaneous cluster of uber-heated atoms but a design. Microorganisms, ecosystems are design. The universe, The Matrix is code. Code is programmed.

There's a phenomenon in women called "micro-chimerism" where the fetus/baby, particularly male children where during maturation & years after birth or termination/assassination, the mother will regardless retain a level of her son's male DNA on a microscopic level, which helps with immune system boosts even against cancer, regeneration, etc. Tho more beneficial if she has the kid because it’s coursing in her system longer.

Literal Comic book shit, because she got pregnant.

That's not because of cosmic fart particles condensed into an explosion because chance, that's pure, non-debatable design. 

The microorganisms in your body, including the one’s that could be classified as “animals” can tear you apart, eat holes in your organs, anatomical systematic failure. They work in harmony so that you live, including the demodex creatures that live in the pores on your face and roam about as you sleep every day.

None of that is chance, that’s intention, those little guys follow an instinct/ a directive assigned to them, it’s why they act as facial cleaning crews (eating excess oils & dead skin) instead of eating you alive as a baby. 

Balance isn’t accidental, or happenstance, or a gamble of probability. I’ve been game for years to accept that, but logically- it makes no sense that 4 came to be without 2+2. Or 2+2 came to be without 1 or 0 coming before. 

Science itself cannot sustain such a theory.

Think about The Sims 2 or the pocket-dimensions called phones and computers, how humans operate & create their own little worlds where they play god, that is  partly how we emulate the self-important quantum intelligence we labeled "God".

Bro was an early 2000s prototype of an Evil-Superman, before the trope got worn out. He’s essentially “Chronicles” Andrew, Tetsuo, Hal Stewart, Carrie, a Peter Parker gone wrong, all combined.

 Despite being a knockoff, his concept, the fall, why he snapped, and where he ended up. Holds up decent still, started with too much trauma all at once. Saw his home erased in front of his eyes, got his emotions played on, he couldn’t cope. Basically he’s Kara Zor-El except his reaction to the disaster is more interesting/ “realistic”/gritty than anything attempted with her. Even that Red Lantern shit ain’t got nothing on this guy’s casual hissy fits.

Why? Because Superboy-Prime, unlike Kara Snore-El, is in a league of his own in just how he coped or lack thereof of losing everything. When people say his name, it’s an omen. 

He’s not a sidekick, nor relegated to one even during a time when he wanted to be one. “SUPERBOY-Prime” is a class of power & cruelty separate from the Clark we know, he’s divorced from Superman whilst trying to be Superman, so he’s not riding coattails, because he has his own, just not in the way that he preferred. 

Kara never got to have that because no matter what good ideas are introduced- be it Loeb’s Superman/Batman #8’s Daughter of Darkseid concept to My Adventures with Lois-Chan’s very bold genocide angle (which is basically just Iron Giant).

Bro was the class clown of super villains, but a serious problem. The meta is he’s self-conscious about being compared to Superman, being 2nd to Superboy, and everything he does is to make a name for himself, to make his own home by burning the world down, being seen, getting his home back, overlooking the fact that after everything he’s done, even if he got everything he wanted, would his loved ones even want anything to do with him when he returns.

He reminds me of Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as well, that simmering instability.  

His overcompensation, his incompetence as a human being despite being superior to most, all stemming from one bad day that happened to him and a horrific day he caused for everyone else- that is what makes him interesting. He’s not typical, he’s pathetic, and became one of the most infamous names in DC Villain continuity. Not mainstream but infamous, which is exactly how it should be, the last thing that needs to happen here is he becomes overrated in mainstream to where his very story is trivialized, the Kara Snore-El treatment.

This loose cannon of a character could’ve derailed the Infinite Crisis arc, ruin it even, and ended up being a highlight. 

Hell, in following years he became a lingering nuisance to everyone in-world but he was no less a threat despite how annoying he wa, he would show up here in Teen Titans, then over in a Legion arc, maybe he’d be mentioned elsewhere, pop up in two panels in a magic prison or something, but he was so obscure despite being such a huge problem. 

Like he was the Babayaga of DC, like DC itself as an intelligence tried to suppress his very existence, but he just kept coming back.

(Underrated complexity, all I ask is DC leave him be here on & if not, do not ruin what Death Metal did for him.)

Immersion is dead (Synthetic Man) "take a break"

He's right, gotta unwind. Negativity siphons you if you just dwell on it 24/7. Criticizing something to make a point, for awareness or principle, fine; vs tearing something down & wanting it to fail out of spite, nah. Too much effort. #videogames #negativity

 

Hammond explains the Twitcher (Dead Space CHP9)

The reaction speed on these is insane, if you use the plasma cutter, make sure that first shot is to fake them out. They are 100% capable of dodging point blank shots with a sidestep. #deadspace2008 #necromorphs #videogamelore

 

"What are your thoughts on Kallen Kozuki?" - Painfully under-written heroine (2025)

Painfully under-written heroine.

Season 2 was not her downfall, it was the show inflating what it always was: Overrated, hack, rule of cool that thought it was clever.

• R2 only emphasized prevailing issues that already existed in S1
• S2 didn't invent the sidelining, plot armor, contrivances, plot holes & overcompensating fanservice because the show couldn't think of humanizing reasons for anyone watching to give a shit about the women beyond what makes your dicc jolt
• And so, it gave us more of what CG was to begin with, the difference is Season 1 didn't have a reputation yet and so it was more conservative with it's gimmicks, didn't mean it was good, it means R2 was worse.

TL;DR Thoughts are Kallen overall was "fine", not good, but fine for a hollow light novel archetype, which is how she's treated.

A remarkably weakly executed character given how early we saw her in Season 1 and really had very little agency despite how headstrong she is.

Yet she's an excellent set piece for action scenes because of her archetype or being a piece of meat mascot for fanservice because unfortunately she wasn't a male character & due to that fact she isn't exempt from not being treated seriously or with respect, because that's what her worth boils down to according to the writers when she isn't kicking ass or being melodramatic or more noticeable: being Zero's biggest simp, her defining trait, besides her grit.

Episode 9 of Season 1 is still one of few episodes I'll still watch these days of the show without getting a headache because of how uncharacteristically competent the writing is for the most part. The through lines relating to her mother's traumas, her resentment toward her mother and it ends with somber closure between them both, though it should've been explored more as with Kallen's entire motivation namely her brother & daily life.

Kallen's goals, her motivation, her flaws, her abilities. She can carry a show easily, an OVA, really she's just as much main character material as Suzaku & Lelouch.

In Zero's absence, I would've liked to see Kallen directly leading the knights, her way; because how Lelouch leads isn't the only method to lead effectively.

• And the respect she already has due to being one of the front line fighters and being THE most valuable fighter: Her being Chief would've given an interesting challenge for us to see her not thinking like a brute, reliant on orders to aim her talents but instead thinking like a tactician, thinking for herself in this way whilst having that combat prowess, so being a nerfed combination of Suzaku & Lelouch but not being especially exaggerated in either category, a balanced Jack of All Trades. And unlike Xingke, she's not sick or anything, she's just not overpowered in terms of being a tactical genius, she goes off instincts.
• Because her decisions in this way would dictate whether or not her comrades live to fight another day, seeing her deal with the weight of that would be an easy arc for an episode, because they're not just chess pieces to her; all of which happens without Zero there to be her emotional safety net vs him/the mask being her metaphorical emotional shackle.
• Easily could've had R2's first 2-3 episodes or less be on that focus, whilst leading up to Lelouch' emancipation from his illusion, building up to it through Kallen's eyes. Easy w.

Lelouch is the MC of base form Code Geass but he wasn't the only protagonist, same with Avatar the last Airbender, Codename Kids Next Door & The Avengers movies, hell even Lego Monkie Kid. You can't just sparingly sprinkle some scarce development in there in 1 or episodes and then piss off, you have to add more development to eventually cultivate an arc. That's how it works.

When the plot hijacks the character writing, when fanservice regresses the profile of the characters, you get stagnation, which leads to sidelining & narrative deprivation. Season 2 didn't undermine Kallen, Code Geass as it always has been: undermined Kallen.

Unfortunately CG's writers had mismanaged priorities.

Otherwise, easily top 5 best pilots in CG, considering how many skilled pilots there actually are in the entire franchise beyond Lelouch' drama, so for her, that says a lot; beside the fact that The Black Knights' Ace pilot, "Q1" is globally infamous, which is also something I liked about what little we got from Kallen's profile in the long term.

But you need more going for you than just a part in action scenes & being boner bait, which is where most people get muddied when it comes to Kozuki or anime female leads in general. We get latched on for superficial reasons vs her actually being "well-written" due to exploration & tests, and it pains me to see (still) how many people will say that term but don't know what it means.

The "lewdness" or fanservice didn't defeat any depth for Kallen, because fanservice, especially in high frequency (in a serious setting like this) is generally what happens in a vacuum of not having depth in the first place. It clashes.

Fanservice can't undermine depth Kallen never got to have, which is why the fanservice was there to begin with; so with depth gone, you have to fill it with something, and lazy writers usually go with Mary Sue-isms (woke, condescending & politicized) or oversexualization (anti-woke, dehumanizing & disrespectful). You'll seldom see that kind of treatment with characters that are actually taken seriously by the writers.

There's a big difference between fanservice cameo, an easter egg, having fun; vs compiled humiliation rituals labeled "fanservice".

It's overcompensation so that the writers give us something to attach onto about the character the easy way, so they don't have to do any real work with their pens to layer the character. That way they can prioritize pushing the plot along while the characters get dragged in tow.

And because situations around the characters develop & escalate, we by proxy think they / the characters are developing as well, when at best they're just reacting to rising events but in reality most of them are actually still the same exact people.

Code Geass was & has always been plot driven over character driven, which is partly why it's a mess, style over substance.

So unfortunately despite her high ranking in The Black Knights, outspoken nature & prominence in fight scenes, the fanservice never undermined her depth because she had none to begin with.

Episode 9 Season 1 was the foundation for depth, & it wasn't fully realized or exploited, despite how early her debut was.

• She isn't an NPC that showed up in Episode 9 or 15, she was there since Episode 1, you'd think she'd get more respect or more to do.

Kallen wasn't useless (her preventing Lelouch from shooting up, rejecting his advance, course-correcting his vision is one of the better scenes in R2 EP7 because of how the drug relates to her personal life- is one of the better moments), she was whiney & clingy at times but not fragile. Written to be way too reliant on "Zero" overall for my taste, with no proactive attempt to use leaving him behind as a sign of growth for her, another wasted opportunity. Otherwise she had a stake & a role (as limited as it was), but not agency nor depth. At best, she was a highly prominent tool, high ranking lackey. What she needed was more independence, more proactivity vs being a reactive henchwoman.

Again, Fanservice definitely regressed her representation but it can't undermine depth Kallen never got to have in the first place, which is why the fanservice was there to begin with.

With depth nonexistent, you have to fill it with something, and lazy writers usually go with Mary Sue-isms (woke, condescending & politicization) or oversexualization (anti-woke, dehumanizing & disrespectful). You'll seldom see that kind of treatment with characters that are actually taken seriously by the writers.

Kallen really could've been the Katara of Code Geass with the theme of vengeance being the parallel, but Anime Japan yet again proved it's not capable or willing to write competent characters of high caliber in mainstream because quotas must be met at the characters expense for reasons that benefit everything & everyone except the characters.

Kallen is cool: strictly as an archetype, that's what she is & treated as, an archetype. As a character (generously): undercooked & painfully under-written because of lazy writers that felt style mattered more than substance. which is Code Geass in a nutshell.

"Rule of Cool:" The Animation, Mechs, superpowers, pretentious pseudo-intellectual political mumbo jumbo, supernatural shit pertaining to the will of man & god, cults, a ninja maid, etc.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Asspulls was doing too much, it's why it got me into anime, it was an ambitious melting-pot experiment but it really didn't know what the hell it was doing & aged as well as a heroin addict.

Kallen is a casualty of that, one of many.

My Hero Academia Notes (Fanservice & Momo Yaoyorozu) *2022

 

You have Wonder Woman, who's basically in a one piece swimsuit for most of her career. 

The differences for Wonder Woman

- Besides 70+ years of different outfits, writers, History: Is also context

• #1 The reason/context behind her looking like that, is not specifically for her to eventually open her top to use her powers
• #2 She's not a minor in a School, so there's no concern as to why a SCHOOL Institution would issue/or allow a Student to wear essentially a swimsuit made of paper
• #3 She's not limited in a given situation to either be support, reduced to a literal cheerleader or B plot player who stays out of the way fighting side bosses  until the boys are doing their thing elsewhere with BIGGER explosions and sakuga
• #4 And her powerset makes her one of the top strongest in her power class and DC period

Momo’s Quirk is essentially small scale sub-dimension manipulation, that kind of power should be realized, expanded upon, developed.

Like someone else with an extra-dimensional power that can summon shit..

Elizabeth’s basically a god. (I love Elizabeth)

The difference is Wonder Woman is allowed to be realized, she’s not in the picture to be solely eroticized eye candy or the butt of a gag meant to objectify her in a context where’s she’s a spectacle.  

Doesn’t mean Wonder Woman has never in Human history has been subject to fanservice or sexualization, it means that the context of fanservice wasn’t her primary function nor the thought process behind how she goes to work in her entirety.

Was it subtle? Enough that i didn’t cringe, i actually laugh because in this show where the writing is overall satisfactory- I DID NOT see this coming. That’s why it works, it’s not predictable.

The action isn’t halting completely so Atom make a “hur dur” face, he’s not even reveling in the situation, he’s trying not to die lol.

• Also why it works, other characters aren’t feeding into the fanservice in-universe- thus not exaggerating it.
• Exaggerated fanservice misses the mark by being obnoxious, MHA suffers this IMMENSELY.

Midnight is hilarious unironically because 90% of time she looks like an idiot, strutting in a classroom full of teenagers, chest perked out lmfao.

She has no pockets, she carried him by hand, she’s getting overwhelmed, and HAS to put him there so she can catch more bodies, otherwise, she’d crush him like a grape if she clenched her fist on accident. 

Again, the crucial part is he’s not going “gaga”, and the plot isn’t putting a sparkle filter over the footage to make it whimsical. 

Simple enough.

I’m an 80s anime viewer, retro. I’ve seen, laughed at, and enjoy fanservice. Other times it was brutal, but in the context, it works, it wasn’t glorified, wasn’t laughing, it was tragic.

• It’s all about execution. The best fanservice is one you don’t see coming. 
• Fanservice that doesn’t STOP everything just to pan on some crotch. That’s why JLU’s fanservice, in this context works

In My Hero Academia, unfortunately I expect it, and it’s always exaggerated. Always creepy.

Trinity 2008 #3-6, Superman gets one shot by a heavy hitter, and guess who steps up to the plate until he's done with his nap? WONDER WOMAN

What didn't happen was she wasn't exploited for fanservice, she was put to use. (She had cake, but she was kicking ass)

• If it were an Anime/Manga, the villain would've smacked her into the ground, Supes would wake up and See Diana's bum sticking up in the air and he gets the iconic anime nosebleed. *Insert laughing here*

The difference is execution, women are attractive, putting a female character in anything will elicit a reaction, visually. 

Women looking like women isn’t the issue. It’s execution. 

IE. What are you trying to tell us? Dear Writer

The issue is when you go out of your way to contrive a situation to emphasize what's already doing it's job in a more subtle way.

(That’s the issue. That and this series entails a lot of underage kids. Culture gap be damned, you either take your characters seriously or you don’t. MISS ME with that age of consent “culture” shit, that’s not an argument, I will obliterate that excuse like a nuclear warhead) 

edit 2025: apparently so did Japan 2023 raising the age of consent lmfao, so we can’t even use that excuse anymore, even their own country is FINALLY waking the hell up.

• Doesn't mean Horikoshi has to make every girl in 1A Diana Prince or wrap em up in a Nun’s habit, it means respect your characters. Realize them.

But when you don't, nor take them seriously, you tend to do what Horikoshi does, occasionally. 

To be fair to him, has way too many characters #1 (His fault btw)

2nd, he’s not exploiting them 24/7 (some shit in the anime is BONEs going out of their way to be scumbags), but when it happens on authors part, it’s very awkward: The question is “why” most of the time.

Some people say they watch this with their kids and I’m like:

S5xE1 (One of the various things in the Episode that didn’t annoy me, Momo taking command)

Momo’s tactical mind is something i would like to be more explored ()would’ve liked, her and Izuku brainstorming a plan together to win a big battle would be awesome to see.

This harkens back to that shitty video I made back when, one minute you act like you care & want to give her some identity, the next minute her ass is in the frame.

My Hero is too bipolar, make up your mind.
