I disagree and Komi is a bad manga that has gone on long enough.

Temple of Doom is the best Indiana Jones movie.
Plus, it's the only one that doesn't have the same shitty "uniformed Nazis are searching for relic to control the world"-theme. This alone makes it superior to the other movies in that series.
(also: Return of the Jedi is as good as the other two SW movies that exist.)

Tattoos are the worst societal fad ever. Most of the "art" people are inking on their bodies is ugly as fuck, would not even be worth putting on a tshirt or hanging on a wall. Low income individuals waste far too much money on this shit. When you get older you have to get them touched up. When you gain weight those tattoos look lol. I seriously don't like tattoos.

you should attack the day with a kind of ferocity that puts you below the tribe in isolation with enough power to defend the tribe to the last man if necessary
steelman your enemies, only go for the jugular if they make things grossly interpersonal and then destroy them
don't eat sugar ever, eat tons of meat
work out like you're preparing to fight a polar bear, do it every day
pain is inevitable, suffering and death ~ there's nothing after death probably, don't be a pussy and try to deny it with weak willed and stupid ideas written by retards
don't join too many groups, don't join any if you can help it, that includes cliques and clans (keep some kind of tribe tho, family and friends seems best)
there's more but for w/e reason if i say some of this stuff aloud people get their jimmies rustled

nah, that's what makes it lame. Temple is the entry where Indy is plundering a culture he has no relation to. Raiders/Crusade have this meta "Judeo-Christian religion vs the Third Reich" narrative to them, helped even moreso with Stephen Speilberg at the helm directly referencing the classic film The Ten Commandments. Temple is imperialist-Orientalist Trash that doesn't feel the need to give it's subject the same seriousness, instead wallowing in bad stereotypes. legends of the grail and the ark are all real world, the stones, the heart ripping voodoo shit, the eating live snakes, all that is made up. basically taking the old "those scary people in India have savage beliefs" fear from the early 20th century and running with it.
give it up, Temple is the worst, and nowhere near the level of Raiders. then again it's impossible to top Nazi heads exploding from the power of God.

I get not liking tattoos but to call them a fad is a little... well, people have been marking themselves permanently for a very, very , very long time.
I'm with you on temple, but calling Jedi as good as Hope or Empire is just outrageous. There exists no movie trilogy where all the entries are equal. The closest thing is probably Toy Story.

Societal fad. They have been used by individuals for thousands of years but did not become some mainstream thing to do until 15-20 or so years ago. For example in the 90s Dennis Rodman was lambasted as a delinquent and his tats were always talked about in a negative light. Now kids come out of college with 5x as many tats as Rodman ever had. When I was growing up they were seen as something "low rent" that dirtbags did. Now rich instagram models are covered from head to toe.

They're certainly way more popular now, I just think the term fad is weird when you're talking about something that's seen non-stop growth. Tattoos are only becoming more and more popular. I'm a huge fan personally, what I don't like is the way in which these shitty LA rappers are encouraging teens to get face tattoos. Anyone sensible in the business of getting or giving tattoos will tell you, your face should only be done after you've had plenty elsewhere.

I doubt it is non stop growth and I am under the opinion that it will calm down when the current generation looks like shit with their old faded wrinkly tats. Hence why I am calling it a fad. A long fad but will be one nonetheless. The amount of tattoo places in my area has dwindled recently. Gen Z seems more resistant to the whims of wanting them were millennials were fiending for them.

So, once 20 year olds are 50..? At what point is a fad no longer a fad and just a "thing"?
The industry shows no signs of slowing by the way: https://www.wsj.com/articles/tattoo-industry-wins-over-millennials-1535713200

This is so true. I have seen like a handful of truly inspiring tats, most of them are just so basic and uninteresting or are just poorly done. Flesh isn't the best canvas for artwork really.
And yeah I never understood why people who have the least amount of money seemed to be spending all of theirs on painfully inserting mediocre artwork under their flesh.

is right except for possibly calling it a fad. I don't have high hopes that the general public of the future will have any better taste than the people of today.

Too much freedom isn't good for society. This "do whatever you want", "be whatever you want", "being happy is the only thing that matters" will hurt society in the long run.

I actually kind of liked the design of the Turtles in the recent Michael Bay films.
Sure they were ugly but mutant Turtles would be ugly and they def had a lot more personality than the normal designs where they all look exactly the same. I also like that they looked like they were roided out of their minds. Beefy.

Superheroes are a plague on the US comicbook industry and need to take a backseat. No other genres are allowed to flourish unless it's a cape book published by DC or Marvel. Japan did the comic book medium right with their manga industry and it's many genres, so it's no wonder why manga trades sell vastly more than regular comics in the US market. Add to the fact that a lot of these comicbook pros are a bunch of whiny spergs online (Dan Slott, Mark Waid, Brian Michael Bendis) who treat fans like shit. It makes one miss Stan Lee's welcoming approach to fandom.

The Walking Dead fucking sucks. So does Game of Thrones.
Christopher Nolan is a hack. Inception was garbage.
Super hero movies are all boring pieces of shit. Gee, I wonder who’s going to win...
Star Trek beats the shit out of Star Wars.

I couldn’t disagree more. Tattoos are a self signal that you don’t think ahead and make poor life choices.
It’s An amazing tool to help me judge at a glance whether a girl is worth my time. Without it I’d have to spend date money and waste hours of my life to find out if someone is short sighted and foolish.
In other news I also love died hair.

I think Star Trek TNG is pants.
I thought it at the time and I still think it now.
I hate the Enterprise design with its oversized saucer, squashed fuselage and stunted warp nacelles. It’s crap. But then it’s in good company because every single Enterprise design after A has looked like dogshit anyway.
I hate the stupid fucking phasers that look like tv remote controls. God forbid anything looks like an actual weapon.
I hate the Enterprise bridge with its horrible wooden trim and shit crew station layout. It looks empty and bland. Again bridge design peaked with the Enterprise A.
I hate the fact that everything on the ship is operated by tapping on iPad screens.....
‘We’re under attack! Raise shields!’
*Tap*
‘Navigator, plot us an escape vector and get us the hell out of here!’
*Tap tap*
‘Chief? If we don’t go to warp in ten seconds we’re all dead!’
‘Swipe............. tap*
I hate that there’s a room called a ‘ready room’. Because apparently ships captains in the 24th century need a room to discuss every single decision they make.
‘All those in favour of pumping out the bilges raise their hands.’
I hate that there’s a fucking shrink on the bridge.
I hate that they stuck an Alice band on the engineers face that looks like someone stuck an Alice band on the engineers face.
I hate the uniforms, God I hate the uniforms. They just stuck every fucker in a catsuit and called it a day. Well done wardrobe, you sure earned your pay-checks that month.
I hate the starfleet badge com-links that make everyone look like they’re pledging allegiance to Caesar anytime they make a phone call.
I hate that they use the holodeck in lots of episodes so they don’t have to spend any budget on the early, fake looking cgi that I hate.
I hate that they rejig the deflector array to direct a tachyon surge any time the script writers need to write themselves out of a corner.
‘Weapons?’
‘Sir?’
‘Load a mark IV Deus ex machina and prepare to fire.’
I love Patrick Stewart as actor.
I hate Picard. He’s wooden, humourless and fucking boring. Lame. I never thought Stewart fit the role and I never liked the way Picard was written.
Seriously, by the time Kirk had shagged, shot, charmed, punched and conned his way through an episode, Picard would still be choosing the appropriate tone of voice.
‘Engage.’
‘Oh just fuck off already’

Star Wars is boring and so is Star Trek.
Condiments are the devil.
Dolphins are assholes.
Whistling should be against the law.
Turkey is overrated, pig is superior and so is calamari.
It is ALWAYS about who you know in life.
People that don't have a single tat have no right to judge others. No ragrets.
