    I don't mind the ending to Ash vs Evil Dead.

    I know it wasn't the planned ending but the ending fits since almost everything Evil Dead related ends with evil never fully being beaten. Ash battles just keep on going on.

    Bucky definitely seems to be popular with a lot of female viewers...especially the fanfic/Tumblr crowd (which there's nothing wrong with). That also happens with Loki...but he makes more sense to me because he also has a very charming personality. I've never found Bucky extremely charming. I get liking his muscles and the handsome actor and whatnot...but in a series with tons of handsome buff actors, I've never quite gotten why someone would be drawn to Bucky over someone like Cap or Thor. They just seem more charming. Maybe it's the "bad boy" aspect?

    I also have a friend who goes with his grandma to see superhero movies. That's the cool thing about superheroes...basically any generation can get into them because a lot of these characters are older than most living people.

    She’s the only person who ever really accepted me for who I am. For a long time, I lived with my father who hates my collecting and the mere mention of the word “Transformer” is enough to make him visibly angry. So ordering anything online while living with him was an obvious no no. But, he never stopped me from seeing her. In fact, I was at her house just about every day after school. My Aunt would pick me up and drop me off, and I would wait there until my Dad picked me.

    She let me order whatever I wanted(with my own money of course), and have it delivered to her house. That might not seem like much, but it meant a lot to me. And what was even more amazing was that she would always ask what it was that I got, and wanted to know about it, genuinely. It meant so much to me to have somebody who cared, even if she was just trying to be nice. And thats exactly what she was doing. She knew I didn’t feel accepted in my own home, and she opened hers to create a place where I didn’t have to be afraid to just be myself.


    About four years ago, I moved into an apartment my father owned, on his property, and had to cover all of my own expenses except rent. I lived there for four years, and while I was technically on my own, I was still unable to have my own damn packages delivered to my address. So the tradition kept going, and even though she moved away to be closer to her kids, I still went up to see her every other week. Today, I live in my own place and can order whatever the fuck I like and literally wake up to a wonderful box of plastic crack on my doorstep, it’s amazing. But I still go and see her, and she’s still there for me.


    So to make this on-topic, Grandma’s are awesome. Like, just the best.

    Maybe I did this one already years ago, but I prefer the the whole "crewmembers bring their families with them" aspect of Star Trek: The Next Generation compared to the more war-ready later Federation (despite being a huge Deep Space Nine fan). I just relate a lot more to the fantasy of a starship as a large ship of exploration, science and art than I do of a quasi-war prepared military ship (and yes, I'll admit the latter makes for easier stories with mass appeal). So yes, I'm a fan of the "Hilton Hotel in Space" aspect that gets criticized.

    Weddings in general are boring. Only consolation is the food.

    True, but I avoid weddings (and parties in general - especially work parties) 'cause I detest social interaction, the music played is absolute trash and I hate it when people try to force me to have a good time (when I have waaaaaay better things to do - like Gunpla model building, bike riding and watching cartoons)

    Depends who’s getting married. I can think of a few weddings that would have been fucking rip snorters.

    I'm not a fan of pitting characters from different universes/franchises against each other. I don't need to know if Wolverine could beat Batman in a fight. Or if The Hulk could defeat Superman. Or if Animated Megatron could beat Prime Megatron. I've seen a lot of different "who would win: X or Y" types of threads recently on these boards and find that there can never be a definitive answer since the two will never crossover in fiction. There is no right or wrong answer so to me it's just a pointless debate.

    Your sig quote makes any opinion of yours invalid.


    Even if I do agree, especially when anime characters are involved.
