How are they the biggest defenders of capitalism?

by reproducing the ruling ideology (liberalism) I guess

They are not lol

Been checking a few of the recent Internet indie animation darlings. Some unsolicited thoughts

>Helluva Boss
Tried multiple times with this but just couldn't get over how mid the humor is and how it often feels like a sensitive Tumblr kid trying and failing to be edgy because they don't believe in it. I'm not necessarily against what it's trying to do, I have a bit of a theater kid side in me and I surprisingly vibe with the character designs and songs, it's just that the writing is really mediocre and not enjoyable. This feels to me like one of those franchises that's sustained more by fandom (i.e. churning out new characters for merch, providing a lot of fanfic fuel, lots of songs for fan creators to cover, that kind of thing) than quality, but maybe that's a bit unfair.
>Murder Drones
Really fun. Loved the visual direction, the density of the writing, the over-the-top robo violence, how it uses anime influences without going fully into pastiche. Although the
humor and the horror elements felt a little trite sometimes. I do prefer the version of the show that the pilot was hinting at, with the protagonists being less moral, the designs a little more fanservicey, and N showing his dangerous side more often. "Let's exterminate humanity" felt like a more intriguing premise. Even then, the whole show felt like something I'd never quite seen before, so for it to have this level of production quality makes me glad for where indie animation is at.
>Punch Punch Forever
One of the most entertaining things I've watched in a while. Just a really good time. Really funny, really creative, the fast pacing is exciting and the action scenes are surprisingly fun in their own way.

Accepting recommendations. Still a little on the fence about whether to watch all of Digital Circus

thats just anyone whos a proper citizen of bourgeois society, artists arent some special kind of petit bourgeois, and whatever they do in their private lives is irrelevant to art itself. even marx loved shakespeare, etc

Fucking kek they really did it.

What did they mean by this?

>>46278
Ravenclaws being somewhat intellectuals supporting technocratic socialism and Slytherins being unironic bourgeois eugenicists

I like how you did the nose and expression on the steelman

Here are some doodles I never bothered finishing

WB has been acting retarded for years, like they had some insider intentionally ruining things to lower the price to buy them. Consolidation is inevitable under capitalism though.

probably bad but everything sucks and we're all gonna die so really it's fine

from a communist pov its obviously irrelevant. from a personal pov it fucking sucks especially when this is happening right as paramount is starting to produce "anti-woke" films lol

It's legal if you're rich enough. Open the Epstein files and Ctrl + F "jerky"

i bought a moka pot and some mid quality coffee. does the job. it's 30 for the pot and 6-7 every month and a half for 250g of coffee. works good. i started making vietnamese egg coffee every morning to get my stats up

That looks nice <3

Be me try
>Try to build upper body for years
>Do push ups and bench and light cardio and have no results
>Do start lifting and focusing on pull muscle groups more
>Noticeable result in days
>Leaner tighter chest and slowly shrinking gut too
What gives? Are pull exercises and lifting just superior? Is something wrong with me or are push ups/benching a meme?

>>46999
Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes, there's a reason people lift.

How do I go from skinny-fat to fit-but-thin? I don't wanna get swole

>>46852
>you should spread put your meals over the course of day to maximalise musle growth?
That's a thing for pro body builders. Past a certain point of swoleness your muscles will start to break down if you go for a few hours without food. This isn't even really an issue if you are still mega swole but not extremely low body fat. For anybody but pro BB this isn't really that useful for retaining/building mass though *technically* I think spreading meals out more is generally good for you (but so is intermittent fasting). For the average person trying to maximize gains you probably get better results by eating (more) around the time you train.

>>46999
Lifting is better for muscle growth than calisthenics because you can train with higher weight, but calisthenics are fine if your goal is to do cardio/endurance strength. As for pulling vs pushing and losing weight you probably notice a tighter chest because of less body fat. Pulling won't make your pecs bigger, but you will have more of your chest shaped by pecs if you lose body fat there.

>>47000
>Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes
None is superior to the others in general, they all do different things and ideally people would combine them all. Lifting weight maximizes your ability to gain muscle and raw strength. Calisthenics is good for mobility, stability, and some light cardio and supporting strength. Cardio is cardio - it's good for your cardiovascular system and is often neglected because the results aren't visible.

>>47302
Nobody ever accidentally put on "too much" muscle mass. Just do some kind of training regularly, whatever you find appealing enough to do consistently. The only things you need to avoid are caloric surplus and progressive overload. Weight loss is more a diet thing than a training one.

i am not watching that new sappy chloe zhao or the new mental health pixar slop. let alone all the glorified student films in the live action short film category. i don't understand why dedicated cinephiles feel compelled to do a more thorough investigation of the nominees than the actual members of the academy

The new 28 Years Later rocks, it improves the first movie

what did y'all think of Eddington?

>>47213
It was too long but alright.

Speaking of which I just watched 'Bugonia', it was mid and the ending 'twist' is bad

>Gezhi Town
poor acting and weird chinese humor but some destruction scenes were good
I liked the ending scene where a chinese rambo was firing a machine gun with huge recoil and spitting blood

how come there no sci-fi general in here

>>43375
Make one, anon. There's nothing stopping you.

That's cool as fuck, I love when fantasy goes a step beyond. Makes the world feel so much more real.

Funniest part is that most of the men are still muscular.

Also inb4 "Muh mutants and Rogue were meant to represent the gay struggle"
Stan Lee literally created the idea of Mutants because he was tired of creating hundreds of backstories for the superpowers his characters had, so it was just "the X-Gene" and it let him create characters more freely… that's it, that was the entire motivation behind the X-Men. And the idea of alienation and wanting to be accepted by society is a universal concept among all people. The flamboyant designs are also just because it was cool, and literally applies to most superheroes in DC and Marvel that have no relation to the X-Men. If gay people identified with it, then good for them, but it wasn't intended to be specific to any one person or group, and people trying to say that are projecting their own political views onto illustrated power-fantasies for children and teens.

IMO Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is probably the best version of the Avengers. Venxous has a good video series on the individual characters and generally its pretty well made for a capeshit cartoon series.

Also the intro theme slaps.
