Superhero movies are pure presentation and fan service rather than original ideas or experimenting with the medium.

I think they use too much, and by that I mean any at all. Mayo is gross.

Waste of time?
I mean, browsing facepunch is a waste of time.
Waste of money?
Yeah, it's a bit much if you're not [I]really[/I] into it.

VR seems really fucking cool to me, but not €600 amount of cool. It's a new technology though so it will probably drop in price after a while and be actually worth it (hopefully)
I wrote out a really long post, but I can minimize it down:
I think people should really consider the realistic over romanticized view of things. There's a lot of people that freak out because their life doesn't fit the perfect fantasy-molded lifestyle that society fantasizes together, and a lot of people that avoid the confrontation of a lot of philosophically challenging areas of our existence including death, which leads people to never mature in certain areas. If I were to be frank, I think that most people are philosophically immature in all kinds of different ways, and my brother and I see it all the time as atheists, with people coming up to us asking, "If there's nothing after death, then what's stopping you from raping someone?" or "If there's no intrinsic value to anything, then why even bother with life?" It's a sign that these people asking me these questions do not think about these things themselves and won't because they keep using various cop-outs, be it religion (which is another debate for another time), or laziness.
And there's quite a few people that hear my philosophy towards life and instantly think that I must be depressed or something, when I feel that taking in the world around me exactly as it is without all the magic and veils makes life more understandable and freeing, especially with my thoughts about the lack of intrinsic values - a lot of people would freak out if they found that their life has no literal meaning and that there is nothing after death, but for me it means that I get to devise the values myself. And it's actually all of these "cynical" and "pessimistic" ways of thinking that brought me out of my depression. Actually viewing the reality of suicide (which indeed mean going against the social norm and actually thinking quite long and hard about suicide) made me happier than when I tried to deny myself the freedom of doing so, and freaking out over the mere thought of such a thing ever entering my brain.
Note that this isn't an extended method of saying that I'm a smart person who is philosophically superior to others - I think that I'm a quite limited person and I'm very uncomfortable with the thought of being "better" than someone else, because that delves into the weirdness of entitlement and other things. But so many people are unwilling to challenge themselves and think long and hard about everything, and I think that so many people feel that doing so will lead to depression, or insanity, or death when it has made me incredibly happy.
Futurama isn't very entertaining.
[QUOTE=xZippy;50123369]Futurama isn't very entertaining.[/QUOTE]
I feel like Futurama is moderately funny, but it's too self-referential of its own humor in a way that can become a bit straining, if that makes any sense. It knows its joking and the jokes are referencing that knowledge in a way that seems "funny because its trying to be funny". It's like if a comedian went on stage and started telling jokes, but did so while also tonally reflecting that he knows hes joking or playing dumb - the second part is better when used sparingly if at all.
Steven Universe, Adventure Time and other shows like that are just random and stupid. Yeah an episode or two is funny to watch now and again but after them episodes, you realise its just actual random humor, like stuff you'd find funny back in year 8 or 9 in school. I just don't understand why people aged 20+ find it entertaining?

I reckon the HoloLens will be much better through its sheer usability, like being able to view images in 3D overlayed on the physical world. Just seems way more practical for other purposes other than gaming.

VR is just a fad, just like how 3D screens were hot 3-4 years ago.

Rick & Morty is Futurama done right imo.
Games like DnD and V:tm are actually pretty cool.
Sure, I wish cooler people played them, but the stories involved can be really, really cool. Either hilarious for DnD or thrilling for more serious games.
But I could see these things that 'cool' people would be into if not the nerd stigma with them.

Agreed. I feel that the most common reason I hear people not even liking Futurama is because they just don't get the jokes. To be fair, you often need to follow the show to get some of the humor.

I used to watch Futurama a lot when i was younger and it was funny. But then i guess i just grew up? I dunno? It just wasn't funny anymore and got a lot more stupid.
Original Futurama was (and still is IMO) amazing, but yeah, when they tried to bring it back it was just fucking [I][B]awful.[/B][/I]

The humor isn't really primarily what that demographic is watching Steven Universe for, the appeal tends to lie more in the character writing and story. I'm going to wager a guess and say you've probably only seen some of the earlier episodes, which were mostly pretty laid-back and not as immediately relevant to the overarching plot. (Also, I disagree, SU jokes can be pretty clever sometimes. How do you define "random" anyway?)
Can't really speak for Adventure Time, since I don't watch it. But as an outsider, it looks to me like it's a somewhat similar situation there, too, although probably not to the same extent.

Idk i tend to see overlap between the two.
I like Techrax, and I think what he's doing is a pretty good idea

Steven Universe changed it's format pretty massively midway through season 1 and started doing more serious, plot based structure. I'd say it's not even that much of a comedy anymore. and the humor certainly isn't randumb.
I liked Batman vs Superman
It wasn't the greatest movie of all time but some of the action sequences were pretty great. My favorite in question was the scene with Batman against the Kidnappers.
I don't care all that much about Super hero movies story-wise. As long as I can get some enjoyment out of them I say it was worth it. Always watched those movies due to the action scenes anyway.

Really enjoyed it but I can see why critics were harsh on it. Scenes didn't really flow together and the Justice League cameos should have been cut.
Fallout 4 is pretty mediocre.

I don't care for breakfast restrictions. Breakfast should be available all day, and non-breakfast should be available at breakfast time.
