Sorry, I’ve just seen this one often enough and seen the comments that I may have assumed too much. I’ll take my downvotes.

wjrii@lemmy.worldto Television@piefed.social•What TV series suffered by introducing an unnecessary romance between characters? And in the reverse, are there any TV series that suffered by NOT introducing a romance between two characters?English8·20 hours agoI almost take that to mean a final season would have had them work through it and realize it was a terrible idea, probably within a few episodes.
I liked Mythic Quest, and I feel bad that it’s remembered for a couple of experimental episodes that worked so well they made the main plot pale in comparison (and for toxic gamers thinking their preferred field of interest was going to get more accurate TV treatment than doctors, lawyers, etc.), but it was definitely on the downslope and I can’t imagine we lost a ton with the cancellation.
Yeah, yeah, stupid fat maga, whatever. Looks like they’ve both got a pretty big batch of laundry, and looking at the totality of the picture these are not likely to be wealthy people, and it being rural/suburban America, lord knows how far the laundromat is. This strikes me as unironically clever, and they’re both keeping that mower deck out of the landfill and travelling using electric power.
Looks like Teenjus to me.
wjrii@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•(Spoilers) Project Hail Mary - Official TrailerEnglish5·2 days agoFrom a Doylist/marketing perspective, though, I honestly think most people gave the novel a chance because Andy Weir made a name for himself with The Martian. In Sci-Fi publishing, he’s the brand, so the publishers can indulge a surprise plot point. For a mainstream movie, “from the author of that one Mars movie that didn’t suck and did quite well ten years ago…” doesn’t really move the needle, but "Ryan Gosling is a…

funny reluctant astronaut who meets a fuckin’ alien"…
Well, that just might.

wjrii@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How do animals in the Peppa Pig universe work?English3·4 days agoOh, Peppa is a total asshat, but she’d generally have to eat shit in a way certain other kids’ animation asshats didn’t (coughcalilloucough). There was enough of old-school cartoon and comic strip tropes from Warner Brothers shorts and Peanuts that it wasn’t the worst show to endure.

wjrii@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How do animals in the Peppa Pig universe work?English15·4 days agoSome of the jokes in this show seem targeted to adults, which makes no sense, as absolutely nothing in this show is watchable to anyone above the age of 4.
Clearly you never saw the one where Peppa is a stone-cold bitch when she realizes everybody but her can whistle or learn within seconds.
wjrii@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•US to withdraw from NATO under Republican billEnglish231·5 days agoUtahns generally don’t like to draw attention to themselves as firebrands (e.g. Mitt Romney, Orrin Hatch), so methinks the Senator is planning to get into the 2028 presidential primary.
I’m also one of those people who doesn’t own a record, but I agree. He hit an absolute sweet spot for being the quintessential American artist. Definitely rock, but story songs for the folkies and country-heads, and unapologetically of a specific place that happens to be urbanized and diverse. Left-leaning politics, but not a scold or a bore so people of a more conservative bent can pretend he’s not talking about them, or (and this is generally better) find that a little bit of empathy is sneaking in under their radar.
