anyone with an IQ over 60 shouldn't watch sports

Or lets plays. They're both cancer.

99% of the time i'd agree

but there are some great personalities out there that can make a let's play pretty entertaining

sports aren't even interesting from a gameplay standpoint

People like the commentators in sports too.
There's a reason there'shours of pre and post game coverage.

How does it feel knowing that I'm a superior being compared to you because I purposefully deny myself indulgence and adhere to a code of my own invention in the deluded belief that my maligned neurons are gospel?

it's not that your "maligned neurons" are gospel

they don't need to be for asceticism to be the only good lifestyle

>he genuinely believes this

omebody please notice that I spelled wiener

begins is boring as fuck and hard to sit through

am I just a crazy person

I liked BB way better than TDK or TDKR

it had way better themes, atmosphere, and characters imo

I feel like it suffer from an inability to decide who the main villain is.

This could be a boon, sort of a 'just how deep the rabbit hole goes' effect, which I sense is what they were going for, but Batman Begins could have been spread across the movies with more fleshed out story and conflict between him and the villains, and at the end of each, he learns there's someone higher still to pursue.

Failing to capture Falcone at the docks, Batman pursues him for months before finally defeating him and handing him over to the cops. Film 1 ends with the scene where Crane poisons him with fear gas.

Batman learns of Falcone's maddening, and learns of Crane's true identity and his use of Falcone as a pawn. After he's put the Scarecrow away he revels in the idea that he has foiled the plot at last, when Ra's al Ghul shows up at his birthday party and set fire to the manor. Film 2 ends with Bruce Wayne clinging to life after being rescued by Alfred.

Batman destroys the microwave transmitter early on, but fails to capture Ra's. With no leads and nowhere to start looking, he can think of only one course of action. Batman arrives at the rebuilt League of Shadows to challenge Ra's, and he defeats him. Batman refuses to kill Ra's, and a figure steps out from the shadows and kills the demon himself. Bane declares that Batman would have robbed him an honorable death and they fight. Batman is worn out from his duel with Ra's, and Bane breaks his back, throws him in the hole, and returns to Gotham to finish what Ra's started with a newly stolen and more powerful microwave transmitter. Film 3 ends.

Batman recovers and returns to Gotham to stop Bane. Bane reveals that this time they aren't using fear toxin, but a deadly nerve gas, Batman vows to stop him, but before they trade blows, Bane seizes up and falls face first on the floor. Batman looks down and pulls a single razor sharp playing card from his neck. His spinal cord was severed at the medula oblongata. Batman looks up and scans the shadows but finds nothing. A cackle echoes across the sewers. The rest of the film plays out pretty much like The Dark Knight, except Joker's plot revolves around releasing Joker toxin on the city, he goes to Arkham at the end instead of dying, and the shit with Two-Face never happens because it was kind of pointless anyway. The series comes to a close in a post credit scene, where The Killing Joke would begin. Batman comes to see the Joker in Arkham, to confront him about what he said. "I think you and I are destined to do this forever." Batman, fearing he may be right attempts to talk it over, only to discover that this Joker is an impostor (portrayed by Jared Leto). The scene ends. No further sequels are made. You're just left to wonder.

documentary

Shoah

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahshahshshahshahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahahhaahhahahahaahhahahaahhahahahahahahahahahaha

fucking right

The same way learning anything works.

You consider yourself a scholar, no?
When I want to know about anything I look it up and I read about it, and then I read about the interesting things related to it, continuing ad infinitum.

I got started doing research on fiction and characters I wanted to know more about on various wikis, and the transition into facts just seemed natural.

As for documentaries, I recommend The Men Who Built America.

It's a satisfying blend of drama and documentary, that goes just a little beyond what traditional documentaries including dramatizations do, painting a rich picture of late 1800s America and the astonishing individuals who brought it (sometimes kicking and screaming) into the 20th century. It's about six hours.

And of course, there's always Drunk History which covers a broad range of subjects, comically regaled to us by intoxicated historians. It's a light way to learn the gist of a historical story in twenty minutes without bogging yourself down in tedious detail.

Seriously though, canadians feel woozy and heavy and they go ti the ER, where I've been in the hospital three days already and can't get anyone to treat my cold, so I discharge, have a psychotic break, spend a week living in a starbucks surviving on nothing but tapwater, then just go home and never visit either issue again.

Lex Luthor is a genius.

YouTube

He also became president to piss off Supes.

He's actually helpful when good.

Lex Luthor is always the good guy.

He's one of those, like Doctor Doom.

They're not villains, but they're also not afraid to get theor hands dirty for the greater good.

Or at least, what they honestly believe the greater good is.

Just realized that the dude Rachel got all huffy about Crane sending to Arkham instead of prison, the moment where you start expect Crane is in Falcone's pocket, is Victor fucking Zsasz.

Fuck that dumb prison-profiteering DA cunt, Zsasz belongs in Arkham.
Dude is nearly as sadistic as the Joker himself.

Scarecrow did nothing wrong.

You know things have gotten bad when half the threads on the flood are Solonoid/SecondClass shitposts and Jive brag threads. This coupled with Verb/SecondClass/Challenger arguing in every possible topic imaginable has made the forum kind of stale.

You guys need some new content.

or maybe you need to BRING some new content 🤔

I just did.

Have some more.
