General Media 2019: The Year of Good byes for many franchises
SaburoDaimando posted a topic in Media Discussion
And it's not just My Little Pony. This year will mark the end of many other Movies and/or TV Shows. For fans of How to Train your Dragon, this week will see the release of How to Train your Dragon: The Hidden World. The series has started since early this decade with the first movie. In addition to having a second movie, it also got its own Animated Series that aired on Cartoon Network and Netflix, with a total of eight seasons and 118 episodes. In the end, it's tough to say goodbye to a successful franchise(And this coming from someone who saw the first two films) Another show that's ending this year is the Big Bang Theory. The first Season aired in 2007, and they are already in the middle of airing its final season. Though the spin-off series Young Sheldon will continue, the Big Bang Theory will end its 12 year run sometime before September. And the funny thing is that my parents are a fan of the series. Of course, there's another that must be brought up: The Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was in 2008 that Iron Man hit movie theaters and became a surprise hit, kickstarting the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though the MCU will continue on after Avengers: Endgame releases in theaters, one thing is clear. The era that brought us Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye will come to a close with the final battle against Thanos. And of course, Star Wars. Mainly the Skywalker saga, which started with A New Hope. Star Wars: Episode 9, for better or worse, will air this December. Once that has arrived in theaters, that's it. And that's not the only piece of Star Wars Media that will end as well. This year, Star Wars: The Clone Wars will come back for one more season, tying up any loose ends that were left behind when Season 6 aired on Netflix back in 2014. Which of these shows will you miss after this year is over? Did I miss any? -
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/427938-google-to-close-google-plus-accounts-april-2 Google has announced that they are going to shut down Google+ completely in April 2019, two months away, and the process has already started. Basically, their primary reasons are because (1) a detrimental bug has occurred that compromised some sensitive information of many Google+ users and (2) Google+ doesn’t have much usage anyways. More information here. Shutting down Google+ will also affect negatively affect some aspects of YouTube, though nothing major. What are your thoughts on Google+ shutting down? Did you use it at all? Will you miss it? I personally don’t use it at all, though I do have an account on it. Because I don’t use it, there is nothing for me to backup (eg., posts, comments, data), so I’m good to go. I do empathize with those who have used Google+ frequently though, since they have to say goodbye to this social media platform permanently.

Where does everyone fall on the Calvin and Hobbes vs Peanuts debate? Personally, I prefer Peanuts because I like the more melancholic tone of it and because it's much more memorable to me. I can see the argument that Calvin and Hobbes had a concise 10 year run while Peanuts slowly declined in quality for half of its run, but not only do I think the golden age of Peanuts lasted longer than Calvin and Hobbes's run (I think the golden age of Peanuts was around the mid 1950s to the mid 1970s. About 20 years compared to Calvin and Hobbes's 10 years), but I think the best Peanuts strips are as good if not better than the best Calvin and Hobbes strips. What do you all think?

We watch videos from famous YouTube people, with funny and epic videos of any kind, but as time goes on, their qualities eventually diminish to the point where they become forgettable and utterly predictable, not to mention being too unfunny and monotonous. Here are my personal lists of YouTubers I no longer express interest anymore: PewDiePie: Yes, he's a self-proclaimed YouTube legend with a whopping 70 million subscribers, and used to watch him a few years back, though once he stopped doing gaming, he basically started doing nonsense crap just to cater on the demographic viewers that are basically either attention-craving children or PewDiePie elitists who will openly defend him and belittle others for no apparent reason because they clearly don't care for opinions altogether. If any, I've grown fed up with his sheer desperation in trying to be funny altogether. It's just become awfully cringe-y. In general. he's slowly becoming an afterthought. And to top it off, he's become so self-absorbed, that he cares nothing, not even his own fans, except try and maintain his personal crown for his self-serving needs. It's just... no, just no. AngryJoeShow: Used to love his shows when it comes to rants on bad video games, but over the years, he's completely strayed away from gaming reviews and gaming controversies and went to rate movies and nothing else. He rated a few games like Overwatch, but were in a rushed and brief manner as well, no actual angry game review at all. Yes, he's been doing Angry Video Game Reviews this year and last year, but even then, I have long unsubbed his channel since he basically threw a rage fit at his fans because of his petty excuse he made regarding making video game reviews. It just goes to show that once you start belittling your fans because you can't keep up to date, it's basically considered crossing the line and haven't gotten near his channel since then. That's all I have. What are the YouTubers that you used to enjoy but since unsubbed without looking back for several reasons?

Web Am I the only one who never understood what was so great about TheMysteriousMrEnter?
AlicornSpell posted a topic in Media Discussion
I watched some of his reviews before, and I couldn't even finish watching some of them. The guy just take cartoons way too seriously. and he doesn't seem to understand "satire". When I watched some of his reviews, it seem like a kid was the one reviewing the cartoon episodes rather than an adult. -
General Media In the face of Broly, what else out of Toei’s originals may become canon?
Steve Piranha posted a topic in Media Discussion
We all know the issue: only Toriyama’s vision and work on the Dragon Ball manga is considered canon, and every Toei’s original, be it OVAs, filler, and even a spin-off sequel isn’t. Among the latter is the Legendary Super Saiyan himself, who surprised many when the news hit that the first DBS film canonizing him So, is that the start of other non-canon lore to be adapted in the official DB canon? who knows? But this inspired me to open this thread (it has spoilers of the DBS manga) https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/01/16/dragon-ball-super-broly-super-saiyan-4-powers/ -

General Media 1923 Works Enter the Public Domain This Tuesday!
FirePuppy posted a topic in Media Discussion
That's right, starting Tuesday Jan. 1, 2019, every copyrighted media from 1923 will enter the public domain. This also means the oldest copyrighted material from then on will be dated January 1, 1924. And of course, during Trump's years as President, we're gradually going to see all other 1920s works in the public domain, and guess who's going down the ship with these old works: And as long as Trump doesn't sign another copyright law, those copyright holders can kiss their works good-bye. -

General Media What do you find most unfair about YouTube video removals?
FirePuppy posted a topic in Media Discussion
Whenever such a thing happens, they can surely piss you off. It can even make you sad knowing that the video will likely be gone forever. -
General Media Ever been chastised for being a fan of G-rated stuff?
FirePuppy posted a topic in Media Discussion
Usually, parents should always only ground their kids for exhibition of age-restricted media, such as movies like Sausage Party and Blade Runner 2049, and video games like Conker's Bad Fur Day. But, I heard of a 16 or 17 year old guy who was actually chastised for being a fan of MLP. I find this a super unfair thing because his parents just want him to see more harmful stuff rather than anything family-friendly. To be honest, parents should never at all do something like this to their kids no matter what their age. So in other words, it's right to teach kids a lesson about attempting to see R rated media, but never ever for family-friendly stuff like MLP. -
E.g. -- Count Dooku from Star Wars, and Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.

Honestly, I'm surprised than no one has thought to do a crossover movie with Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin meeting Calvin and Hobbes. Two boys with their imaginary friends/ stuffed animals would be so sweet (and another tiger pal for Tigger!). Why do you guys think this hasn't been done?

According to sources, the first two generations of My Little Pony lasted in the US from 1983 to 1998. And guess what? Pokemon was introduced there in 1998! I also want to point out that most Pokemon toys were sold by none other than Hasbro, the creators of My Little Pony. This convinces me, Pokemon might have been the successor of classic (not today's) My Little Pony back then!

Recently I've been feeling pretty... Down. But sometimes playing music helps. I've been listening to these lately: I have to turn it up Real loud otherwise I would still feel bad. So, do you guys listen to music when you're feeling sad?

Which is better? I say heel, as that's the easiest way to get someone over with the crowd. (That, and WWE sucks at creating babyfaces these days.)

List 1 Superstar each. E.g.: Push: Damien Sandow. (He deserves compensation for being screwed out of his Money In The Bank last year -- and, on top of that, currently having to play dress-up and job out every week.) Hire: Jim Ross. (Buck Vince McMahon for firing him over something Ric Flair did.) Fire: Hornswoggle. (Obvious reasons are obvious.)

I've seen petitions all over the internet to bring back old stuff we are big fans of, but usually, they just don't seem to work. Is there really need for "silly" things like these?

General Media What are your absolute favorite fictional characters ever?
GuillermoGage posted a topic in Media Discussion
.. While I normally like listing off my favorite things... this list is actually gonna be kinda small for me personally. This could maybe be attributed to the fact that hardly any one fictional character really connects with me, usually it is the combinations of characters within certain settings. That being said, here goes: Ripred, The Underland Chronicles Rarity, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Luxa, The Underland Chronicles Gregor, The Underland Chronicles Boots, The Underland Chronicles Spike, My LIttle Pony: Friendship is Magic Captain Holly Short, Artemis Fowl series Applejack, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle. ... and then, uh...I'll probably just hafta go with like, Buzz Lightyear and Woody and Toy Story characters. I know a ton of people here will be like, "too many to count". I hardly care about... like, Harry Potter characters, or Hunger Games characters. They just sort of exist and are pawns in a larger story. the characters from both those series I just mentioned. oh yeah... maybe I like the major characters in my actual favorite movie of all-time, the movie called AKIRA. I like Kei, and Yamagata, and Kai, and even the Colonel. I also just realized, I forgot to mention how excellently written most of the characters are in that one manga-about-the-manga-industry called Bakuman. I adored that manga, despite the fact that it is one of the only manga I've ever read and that I generally dislike manga and generally don't read manga. Kaya Miyoshi is one of the best-written female characters I've ever known. I also like the two main characters, Moritaka "Saiko" Mashiro and Akito "Shujin" Takagi. -
Every Christmastime, I like so many people, watch various Christmas specials on TV and or YouTube. Like so many. I'm a fan of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Of course everypony knows that it has had many adaptations through the years. MLP had it's version this season. But what I would like to know is what everypony's favorite adaptation of A Christmas Carol is. Animated, Live action, etc.

General Media Media classified "all ages" in your country but never released there?
FirePuppy posted a topic in Media Discussion
Usually, only media that contains content more offensive than Adults Only in your area ends up banned. However, on other occasions, media that is approved for all ages can also end up unreleased as well at the end. Has this ever happened to your favorite entertainment? Take Song of the South, for example. Despite still being rated G by the MPAA since the 1970s, it wasn't ever released on video in North America. -
Does anyone wonder what kind of horror might result in a Bendy & The Ink Machine crossed over with Venom?
