Rewatching the cartoon of my childhood - Justice League.
>In the alternate reality, Lex Luthor is elected as US President, kills Flash, and threatens to start a nuclear war.
>Alternate Superman is pushed over the edge, assasinates Luthor, and together with his comrades violently takes over USA (and implicitly, entire world).
>From what little we saw about this alternate reality, it had turned into Georgeorwell1984 police state, but crime (both ordinary and superhuman) was eradicated and it's implied all wars had stopped.
>"Justice Lords" find a way to travel between realities and lure the Justice League from the "prime" universe into their one and capture them, then move on to taking over the "prime" universe as well
>Justice League escapes the Justice Lords' universe and returns home
>Superman STRIKES A DEAL WITH PRIME UNIVERSE'S LUTHOR by organising his pardon from all his previous crimes in exchange for a weapon that defeats all of Justice Lords at once
>The episode ends with Superman picking up the fallen American flag, symbolising that "democracy" had won
>LITERALLY the next episode immediatedly begins with the scene of a squad of American soldiers chasing an unspecified "warlord" in an unspecified Middle Eastern country

Are you fucking kidding me, writers? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Reality is this point is more ridiculous than this tbh.

It's just a content warning, you infants. Peertube does that too I'm pretty sure.

Considering that all current AI methods even the most advanced ones stay completely depended on human generated data, like for example how machine translation is at the end still dependent on the continuous data generated by human translators for training and verification the part of the machines not being able to shake their dependence on human cognition for their own cognitive processes becomes even more of a visionary motif. A shame they didn't go with that.

Thread for discussing ATLA and LoK or rather analyzing both, appreciating the effort of creating the former and shitting on the lazy liberalism of the latter
594 posts and 281 image replies omitted.

You know, after watching a lot of ATLA I kinda understand why it's a kids' show. There are a lot of juvenile jokes and the characters bluntly stating the moral of the episode. It's something that I notice in shonen series too, which really makes me drift away into seinen since it really makes me roll my eyes.

Also, the way they made Zuko flip-flop and betray his uncle is just a mess. He was clearly changing but it seems Mako's death really screwed with the plot the writers were cooking up so the best solution they made is to roll him back to the beginning and then build his character development back up again. Were they afraid to kill Iroh? Couldn't they just make it so it's Azula who is the one who imprisoned Iroh and it's Zuko who tries to help him break free when nobody sees him instead of, you know, lashing out on his uncle for no fucking reason?

>>4384
>"culturally appropriate"
>just random East-Asian-looking people
These Asians are all the same, amirite guys?

>>45316 (me)
I also feel like the show plays it too safe for my liking, like being afraid of killing off major characters or traumatizing comic relief characters like Ty Lee, and the conflicts resolve too quickly sometimes. This show has many trappings of other kids shows, I don't understand why it's considered the greatest show ever. Like, Sonic Forces is mocked for constantly reminding you about the power of friendship but aren't ATLA's characters just outright stating the moral of the episode just as blunt and unsubtle? I dunno, maybe I'm not understanding something. It's like after I've watched Gurren Lagann. Everyone kept saying it is the greatest show ever but I was just like: "Eh."

>>45316
Tbh a lot of adults badly need the moral of the story to be bluntly stated these days.

Zuko backsliding is fair IMO. He'd been away from his family a long time and with the possibility of getting back in his father's good graces it's somewhat understandable he'd go that direction. The conflict is also foreshadowed earlier in scenes with Iroh (vid related) so the idea that they changed this to deal with Mako's death doesn't seem likely.

>>45336
>I also feel like the show plays it too safe for my liking
That's a studio decision for the most part. Which doesn't change the end product but it's less "playing it safe" and more working within certain limits. Jet's death in particular screams that the studio wouldn't let them be more explicit.
>This show has many trappings of other kids shows, I don't understand why it's considered the greatest show ever.
That's because of other things in the show, like the character arcs and world building, not because it lacks characteristically kid-friendly elements. Good show isn't synonymous with "not for kids."

>>45337
>Tbh a lot of adults badly need the moral of the story to be bluntly stated these days.
Well, maybe these adults need to
grow up.
>with the possibility of getting back in his father's good graces
It would have been nice and dandy if he didn't collaborate in imprisoning his own uncle whom he supposedly loves and then actively berate him while visiting him in prison. It's clear they either needed an excuse for Iroh to be silent as they search for a new actor or for Zuko to return to the fire nation.
>Good show isn't synonymous with "not for kids."
Neither is it synonymous with "for kids." The typical cliches and limitations of kids' shows may negatively affect the plot too. When it comes to adult animation at least it doesn't have imposed limits (even though often the kinds of shows which get greenlit in America are crass comedies). And I'm not even talking about web animation 'cause there the sky's the limit, you can literally draw whatever tf you want. As you watch more and more shonen however you kinda start understanding the complaints of the seinen crowd, even though enjoyable shonen do exist despite all the cliches and pandering inherent to the demographic.



 

So many fabulous and easily maintained buildings have been demolished because of short-sightedness. We shouldn't be vandals of architecture. We should preserve the Penn stations and the Russian cathedrals of the world, and not just demolish our monuments.

We should rebuild some of them as well. People don't just have utilitarian needs and need a "spiritual" or imaginative side which is opposed to efficiency but which startles you.

The thing unspoken about "muh architecture" is that people obsess about what the building looks like on the outside.
What about the INSIDE? How useful is the building for its intended purpose? How do the people who use the building feel about it? If a building looks plain on the outside but has a high efficiency and quality of life on the inside, that's good. We shouldn't get too tied up in impractical aesthetics, that's reactionary.
I can't help but be reminded of liberals who whine about apartment complexes being ugly and then complain about homeless camps in the same breath.

>>45291
Most people think about the outsides of buildings because that's the part they see. I'd be willing to bet money that, on average, people only enter 1% of the buildings they look at. And from that perspective, it makes sense to want the outside to look good.

Architecture people will fucking hate me for this, but I really do think Vegas casinos have the right idea; start with a raw functional box that's been designed from the inside out for function, and then add a decorative facade and roofline. Yeah yeah it's "tacky", but people clearly like it, and it does what it needs to in terms of utility,

>>4653
Why shouldn’t proles enjoy architecture that was once reserved to to upper classes only? The aristocracy and bourgeoisie are human with human tastes, what looks beautiful to their eyes and the comfort they enjoyed should be accessible to proles, including their mansions. Tearing architecture to replace ugly things just makes the movement like spiteful contrarians that doesn’t even understand that everything Marx and Engeld wrote about was about a historical process that could be forced earlier to achieve a new means of production earlier instead of waiting and suffering through centuries of capitalist exploitation.
In the samr way the Pyramids shouldn’t be torn so shouldn’t bourgeoisie villas be torn down. It should be conserved so that future generations will be able to learn and understand, for some day full communism will be achieved, and after that another newer means of production will arrive, so alien to us as the industrialization is alien to the slave based economies of the Bronze Age.

Don’t destroy that shit, retard.

All idiots worshipping brutalism outside of monuments are Americans from suburbs that don’t understand that all those concrete blocks were only supposed to be a temporary solution for home shortages after WW2 and they were planned to be torn down and replaced after about three to four decades, but then the Warsaw Pact collapsed.
It wasn’t planned to be ugly to make a fart huffing statement, it was kept totally utilitarian and plain to make it as cheap as possible. Communism isn’t about living in grey concret boxes like bees, and if you think thats an “aesthetic” then you should kys or read the book (because I can tell that you didn’t).

No, video is actual classic brutality.

Those were decent because they were more than just shitty still images with a vhs filter on it while amazing grace plays

Even the best creepypastas were kind of mid tbh, though there was a magic to the newness of their subjects and storytelling methods. It is what it is, though, I guess. Even pulp fiction magazines had stricter quality control than borderline-anarchic internet communities competing for 5 minutes of viral fame.

Did anyone ever tried to analyse the world of Papers Please from a marxist point of view? Is Arstotska really a socialist country? Something akin to a late USSR or modern Belarus? Or some sort of social-fascist state? Does imperialism exist in this world, and if yes, where the imperial core is supposed to be?

"papers, please" is, like "beholder" 1, 2 and 3, "organs please", etc, are all directly inspired, without a doubt, by "1984", the book. Said book has explicit anti-communist propaganda, just like most depictions of "communist authoritarianism" in liberal western media. In my experience, they are all basically the same, if there is an marxist analyses of 1984, you have an analyses on all of these games

Having a quick look at the papers please wiki, most countries are likely based on real world nations."Impor" is probably a imperial japanese microstate, obristan is boring nation where spoilers you can escape to in one of the endings, antegria and republia are microstate dictatorships fighting each other. Aparently republia has its own game by the same game developer. Kolechia looks like arztotzka, but "worse". The united federation is probably based on either the united nations or the united states.
Honestly, not much to analyse, there is not much to work with in those games. I nowadays just find then boring.

I know right? It's hilarious how Arstotzka ends up looking as a better place to live than almost every other country in the setting (sans maybe Orbistan and Impor, but that's only because we know next to nothing about both of these) …GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA!

Tread for sharing bizzare dreams you remember having because I had an absolutely wild dream/nightmare tonight.

I dreamt that I come into my apartmentand and find Joker there. Joker knocks me down an injects me with some drug, then slaps on me Guy Fawkes mask and gives me a gun. I lose control of my mind due to the drug Joker had injected me, run into the city, walk into and mass shoot people in some bar or something, then run away and faint.

When I woke up (in the dream) Joker is above. He laughs and says that I am now his slave because if I refuse to cooperate with me, Joker would report me to cops for mass murder. I agree to serve Joker, and next day he visits me again, injects me again with a drug that makes me go murderous psycho, slaps on me Guy Fawkes mask again, and then me and Joker together go and rob a bank.

Then we return to (Joker's ?!) home and there is Vendetta guy standing there. He says he is very, very angry at Joker for using his likeness like that, and would brutally punish him now. Vendetta and Joker fight, and then Vendetta removes his mask, revealing the burned flesh under it. The sight terrifies Joker so much he immediatedly faints (dies?)

Vendetta tells me not to look at his face, but I still take a glimpse of his face. It looks so horrible I wake up in real life from it.

The wildest thing? I didn't read/watch V for Vendetta since my college years which ended 5 years ago… And didn't watch anything Batman related for even longer, probably.

Burger comic book characters are the closest the burgroid mentality comes to having a pantheon.
Why these American gods, and did you also dream of Bane?

>>45265
The fact that I am not even closely American makes this dream triple bizzare. And no, no Bane, sorry if that dissapoints you.

>>45266
Interesting, how do the two figures you experienced in your dream read to you?

>>45267
To my best guess, this dream is probably a bizzarely warped manifestation of the fear of having my identity stolen and me being misblamed and punished for something that is not only not my fault, but also I am normally fiercely oppose to and condemn, born from an accident in my childhood, and reinforced&reignited by a few unlucky expierences in early adulthood.
