Well I’m back to the blog posting sphere. I’m also back on youtube. I’m getting zero contact from the outside internet with either venture either but I got shit in my brain that I just want out. Just want it out of there. So I’m going to talk about them. I’m going to post them here because again it’s sad that I’ll get one comment from portnoyd going YOUR WRONG WRONG WRONGLY WRONG WRONGAROO WRONG. but it’s also weirdly freeing to be able to say literally anything on the internet without some weirdo coming in and yelling at you for not loving something. Anyway just be blathering on for who knows how long but I just feel like doing it.
1.) Contrarianism is the most fucking annoying thing on this planet: People who hate a popular thing because it’s popular are very very annoying human beings to be around. Saying everything and anything ever popular was terrible is a really shitty personality. It’s also annoying to people who SERIOUSLY don’t end up enjoying something popular. I don’t like the Big Bang Theory but it’s not because it was popular but because it was really annoying television comedy that didn’t work for my sense of humour. It’s one of the main reasons I’ll probably never watch a lot of really popular things because the last thing I want to hear is OH YOU’RE JUST BEING A CONTRARIAN because of that opinion. No, seriously every opinion I have is my honest opinion and you’ll just have to put up with it.
2.) Recently Jerry Seinfeld came out and posted something about wokeness. I don’t want to get into the political part of it but the reaction a lot of people who are way too political have: The second someone says something against their politics that person is now untalented and bad and they never liked their work. This annoys the fucking shit out of me and ot be honest I don’t even think Jerry Seinfeld was the reason his sitcom was a huge hit (that’s Mr. Curb Your Enthusiasm you need to thank for that) I’m going to say something that will be the truest test of how far my reach actually is. I’m going to say that Donald Trump is fucking terrible and it was insane that America gave him the presidency and that some people want him to have a return to that. Literally fucking insane. If I truly have no reach and am stuffed into the smallest hole on the internet no one will comment how im a soy liberal gaywad or something. However there’s an actor called James Woods who clearly still has insane acting talent despite loving Donald Trump. Like I’m not going to trash that man’s acting talent because of that. It’s childish shit and people on both sides of the political isle have to stop doing it.
3.) Jack Kirby’s super fans are literally the most annoying people in the comics fandom that are not in Comicsgate. Yes, I said that and I’ll stick to it. I’m not talking about the people who clearly love the unique, idiosyncratic work he created during his lifetime, because I’m one of those people. Jack Kirby was one of a kind individual that work got screwed over by the comics company. I even believe that Stan Lee really needed to give that man more credit than he ever did. You wouldn’t have Marvel Comics without Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko. Period, however I’m also one of those people who do not believe that Stan Lee did nothing for 40 years and somehow kept his job because he was related to Martin Goodman. I’ve read the original stories and really even if the one thing Stan Lee did was write the dialogue then he deserves a good amount of Marvel’s early success for that and that alone. Jack Kirby’s stories in New Gods and Kamandi and his later work are wild and creative and still so much fun to me. However his dialogue was weird, wonky, clunky and takes an incredible amount of time to really get used too. I mean I will admit that I’ve grown to enjoy it because Kirby wanted to be able to do EVERYTHING for his comic stories and it’s nice to know that he got to put in his entire voice for his stories, even if it is undeniably weird, wonky and clunky. The man literally wrote SERSI WHAT THE FUNKY CORN or something like that in an Eternals issue. I’m sorry but if that was what was in those 1960s Marvel then I do not think it would have been so popular. I will say this though at least Jack Kirby’s dialogue has some weird charm to it all which makes it 10 times better than Steve Ditko dialogue which is drier than a British Man’s sense of humor and ALWAYS telling you about how Ayn Rand was a beautiful human being who we should all worship and love.
4.) I miss blogs, forums and when the internet wasn’t fucking just Twitter and social media: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again but forum posting was saner and more calming and fun than Twitter and social media because you clearly had 1.) less people and 2.) a person coming in to stop fucking arguments. Period.
5.) If you hate Miles Morales for being Spider-Man and think every Spider-Man who isn’t Peter Parker is a lazy rehash yet love Wally West then you probably have a race problem. As in you are probably racist. I mean if you think all legacy heroes that take the mantle of another hero is a lazy concept or something then that’s at least something but being like oh yeah it’s okay for a white guy to replace another white guy hero but freak when a black hero replaces a white hero then you’re a dirthole and I don’t like you.
6.) I hope I really do have weird internet freedom because I do not want to argue with anyone right now.
