How does your Wheeljack feel about King-Kong?

I G1 one enjoyer I see, I get the references ;)

Ok, but to answer the question, yes, he does in fact like King Kong, along with many other pieces of human cinema, especially the ones with giant monsters or dinosaurs. wheeljack is always looking for inspiration for new projects/inventions, and being on Earth has provided him with tons of new inspiration.

#transformers fan continuity #wheeljack #sparkplug #ratchet #transformers #transformers synergize #tfs #ask answering #text post #the dino robot is just a drone/normal robot so it dose not have a spark #Wheeljack was both excited when he found out dinosaurs were onces real and disappointed to find out they were all gone #Ratchet dose not approve of the tiny dino robot hes worried its either going to explode or bite someone and give him more repairs to do #Wheeljacks likes big cool thing that can do cool stuff #wheeljack and sparkplug bein besties havin a movie night #i don't think kingkong in my continuity would be called kinking sorta going for all media and brand names are either parodies or made up

Reading The Song of Roland and y'know it's nice to read an Ancient, Respected Classic that's just. Trash. A jingoistic action movie. The 11th century equivalent of 300, a historical war depicted in a wildly inaccurate and propagandistic way as an excuse for buff macho warriors to face off against poorly-researched stereotypes of foreign enemies and then kill them in spectacularly violent and improbable ways. You want depth? Nuance? Timeless themes that still speak to the common human experience nearly a thousand years later? Fuck you. You'll take Charlemagne's nephew cutting a Saracen in half with his sword and you'll like it.

#i kind of want a film adaptation that plays it completely straight to the point of parody starship troopers-style #but given how large the unironic fash following would be i'm not sure you could make it in good conscience #i also want to see a sung performance because a lot of these repetitive parts probably work a lot better that way #idle musings #walrus reads old books #walrus consumes media

Me when the narrator is an external entity with its own motivations and agendas and the script it makes you follow is not the one you are confined to but be well aware that all folly has its limits and all relationships might sour

#the stanley parable #slay the princess #theres one more i can think of but i feel like itd look really comical next to these widely acknowledge bangers #like ah yes widely acclaimed game; widely praised beautifully drawn visual novel; and...a parody made by a guy on a whim #nonetheless funnily enough thats actually the one that i always think of in this context #like if you ask me for games where you have beef with the narrator youll get that and only after like 2 minutes will i remember tsp #oh if anyone knows more games like this or any other media like this feel free to drop names because i DIG this every time #nobody does it like this uuuh micro-trope #idk why i love it so much but i do. absolute banger. a hit every time. #what i also count as this is when there isnt a narrator per se but it turns out that the story is run by an actual script #like that there is a script the story is supposed to abide by but its literally just that. a script. its an external thing with no power. #because that implies the existence of some kind of author and a narrative and thats also a banger

got roped into watching hazbin hotel and its so so infuriating that all that money on voice talent, music production, animation was spent on...a really mediocre show? like the concept even has potential its just the writing and execution is embarrassingly bad. despite its attempts to be complex the characters feel so one dimensional and the dialogue is painful to sit through. even the music, which is pretty decent, is hard to bear because often it doesnt match the tone of the episode or the scene. it feels like the show defaults to tropes because no one wanted to do any higher level thinking on how characters should actually think and act. the show is presented as a parody but takes itself serious enough that you cant blame comedy or parody for its shortcomings.

also the designs are so functionally bad like i was shocked when i was told what the previous lives of these characters were supposed to be because its barely communicated at all visually. you pick up almost nothing from their designs because theyre so busy that the purposefully simplified background characters are more appealing than the main characters. thats not to mention how the animators are clearly struggling to stay on model because of the weird proportions. and theres no excuse for it because Villainous pulled off almost the exact same style and did so while communicating information about the characters and looking professional quality.

this isnt even tackling the everything else about the creator and the drama and controversies. i only really care about the show on its own so thats all im going to talk about. i really just needed to rant so i guess the sentiment im trying to convey is i wish this concept had been put in more experienced hands so that all this money and effort wasnt wasted. there were parts i enjoyed but it really doesnt balance out the rest of the show.

#this is just like when i watched the vampire dies in no time its infuriating #also in terms of biblical parody? hazbin makes media like good omens ultrakill supernatural etc look like the fucking iliad

If Scooby Doo was Jewish:

Fred-Feivel

Daphne-Dafna

Velma-Varda

Shaggy-Slapi

Scooby Doo- Dooby Doo

Scooby instead of a dog is a vintage Teddy Bear since Dooby means Teddy Bear in Hebrew. Also the Teddy Bear has Jewish origins. Has a pull string that makes him talk. Old Hasidic Rabbi voice.

Fred/Feivel is the quintessential Nice Jewish Boy and obsessed with superstitions. Has orange kotel tzitzit and kippah instead of ascot.

Dafna is basically a younger and more naive and innocent version of The Nanny. Loves modest fashion and tzedakah since her family is wealthy.

Varda is the self proclaimed Torah law police. Dry wit and a passionate debater.

Slapi could clear a Shabbat spread faster than the Birkat Hamazon could be sung. Was originally studying to be a scribe but was relieved of his training because he kept dropping food on the parchment.

Changed the lyrics to “My Kind of Town” to cope with OFMD being cancelled

Posted to my second channel. Can't sing and video got claimed, but I had fun.

My Kind of Crew (Frank Sinatra - My Kind of Town)

[Intro]

Now this could only happen to a guy like me

And only happen on a ship like this

So may I say to each of you most gratefully

As I throw each one of you a kiss, this is...

[Verse 1]

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of pirates, too

Pirates who smile at you

And each time I roam, the Revenge is

Calling me home, the Revenge is

Yes it’s a queer dream come true

It's my kind of crew

[Verse 2]

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of crew, the Revenge is

My kind of marmalade

And my love never fades

And each time I part, the Revenge is

Tuggin' my heart, the Revenge is

The wholesome queerness, the Revenge is

The living legend, the Revenge is

One crew that won't closet you

It's my kind of crew!

THE SEVEN WEDDING SPECIAL

“The Vought family grows by one as our distinguished captain, The Homelander, ties the knot with reformed supervillain William Butcher! Tune into VNN+ and Vought Entertainment for the most anticipated A-list superhero wedding of the century! Join us as we set the stage for the extravaganza and wish them a hopeful happily ever after.”

TY for 800+ followers on Twitter! I'd think it'd be neat if Homelander and Butcher kiss and have a Superhero Wedding Ceremony Special atop Vought Tower's helipad 🕊

#butchlander #homelander #billy butcher #the boys #we celebrate our babygirls' appearance in Gen V finale #the boys tv #the boys amazon #I HC it’s a Vought media circus/ publicity stunt mixed with a genuine civil wedding that family (Ryan) and friends (The Boys) attend #we’re making a slight parody here of Reed Richards’ & Susan Storm’s Fantastic Four wedding #where it was met by disaster lol #bc this is The Boys ofc I had to add 🩸 splashing on our murder husbands and exploding doves that’d been lasered in the bg #I HC that some guests or media journalists maybe met a grisly end at the venue and their bl00d splashed onto them lol #TY for 800 Twt followers! As per tradition we celebrate the new milestone with a new celebratory illustration #check the reblog for the higher-res still images #flashing #flashing lights #animated #glitch #eyestrain #the glitch effect in this GIF has bright flashing colors #absolutely devastated they can’t kiss in canon so I will happily draw their what-if superhero civil marriage with tears running down my fac #phoenixtakaramono #featured #my art

Justice Warriors

Today (May 22), I’m keynoting Public Knowledge’s Emerging Tech conference in DC.

Tomorrow (May 23), I’ll be in TORONTO for a book launch for Red Team Blues that’s part of WEPFest, a benefit for the West End Phoenix, onstage with Dave Bidini (The Rheostatics), Ron Diebert (Citizen Lab) and the whistleblower Dr Nancy Olivieri.

The internet did not create Matt Bors, but the internet would be a much poorer place without Bors and his acerbic, scorchingly funny webcomics, which he publishes at The Nib (a site he founded), amongst some of the web’s most iconic humor:

https://thenib.com/

Founding The Nib and creating a home for all those great webcomics would be legacy enough for one creator, but Bors monumental accomplishment with The Nib is topped by his savage creation, Mr Gotcha, the single most effective rebuttal to the most annoying Reply Guys on the whole internet:

https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/

Dayenu: if he had only founded The Nib, it would be enough. If he had only created Mr Gotcha, it would be enough. But Bors continues to amaze and delight. In Justice Warriors, a graphic novel he co-produced with Ben Clarkson, we get a distillate of all the weird, crazed things both grotesque and lovable about the net of a thousand lies:

https://membership.thenib.com/products/justice-warriors

Justice Warriors is what you’d get if you put Judge Dredd in a blender with Transmetropolitan and set it to chunky. The setup: the elites of a wasted, tormented world have retreated into Bubble City, beneath a hermetically sealed zone. Within Bubble City, everything is run according to the priorities of the descendants of the most internet-poisoned freaks of the modern internet, click- and clout-chasing mushminds full of corporate-washed platitudes about self-care, diversity and equity, wrapped around come-ons for sugary drinks and dubious dropshipper crapola.

Outside of Bubble City is the Unoccupied Zone, which is very much occupied with a teeming assortment of motley mutants, themselves gripped by endless crazes, fads, and trending subjects. The Uzzers are Bubble City’s hated underclass, viciously policed by the Bubble City cops, who mow them down with impunity, crying about their impending PTSD as they work the trigger.

Justice Warriors is a cop buddy-story dreamed up by Very Online, very angry creators who live in a present-day world where reality is consistently stupider than satire. As Bors told Cy Beltran in Comics Beat, “The current moment is so many things at once, it’s an omni-crisis of politics and attention — that’s what felt important to tap into, that sense of frenzy you can barely keep up with.”

https://www.comicsbeat.com/matt-bors-justice-warriors-interview/

That’s the feeling of Justice Warriors, all right. As Bors puts it, they tackle “social media derangement, celebrity culture, investment schemes, mass movements, and A.I.” in a tale with more sight-gags, densely packed literary references, and savage takedowns per page than anything you’ve ever read.

The art in this book is spectacular, styled a bit like those ultra-busy Al Jaffee full-page MAD Magazine spreads, or the Moss Eisley Cantina, or the wild alien scenes from Ben Hatke’s YA classic Zita the Space Girl kids’ graphic novels:

https://memex.craphound.com/2012/06/25/zita-the-space-girl-delightful-kids-science-fiction-comic-thats-part-vaughn-bode-part-mos-eisley-cantina/

But Justice Warriors is grosser, busier, and more frenetic than any of them. As Bors describes it, they created “a chaotic mutant-infested city that tops the most sensory-overloading cities in all of comics and animation.”

Justice Warriors is a mind-altering experience. If you liked Bubble, Jordan Morris and Sarah Morgan’s apocalyptic comedy podcast/graphic novel, you’ll love Justice Warriors:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/08/21/podcasting-as-a-visual-medium/#huntr

This is a comic book the internet needs. In a century, when our mutant descendants wonder how it all went wrong, they can use Justice Warriors as a Rosetta Stone to make sense of the detritus of our civilization.

Catch me on tour with Red Team Blues in DC, Toronto, Oxford, Hay, Manchester, Nottingham, London, and Berlin!
