heh, there was some commercial I saw that was supposed to be like the scene in National Lampoon’s Vacation… with the husband (Clark Griswold) looking over to see Christie Brinkley in a sports car while the wife was asleep…in the commercial Christie Brinkley is now the old wife character as the guy looks over to this hot young 20-something year old model… but the interesting thing to me is that Brinkley was still the superior woman in the scene, even now as the “Mrs. Griswold” character. She must’ve struck a deal with a powerful demon at some point because she’s STILL so damn delicious…such PRIME white meat there.

*I caught the tail end of the Supergirl show last night… even in those few minutes I watched… not looking good. At least the girl that appears to be her sister looks kind of nice…worth a pounce.

…and why in the blue hell is Jimmy Olsen Mr. Cool Black Guy all of a sudden? What the hell is going on there? When I think of that character, I’ve always only thought of him as “goofy little white guy that is even more of a dork than Clark…”…this shit makes no sense, man. It’s so off… like a movie where you have Wesley Snipes playing Wonder Woman while Taylor Swift is playing the role of MODOK…or Gabby Siddebe being Mr. Sinister in a new Xmen movie…makes absolutely no damn sense.

I heard about this on the radio this morning and ohhhhh yes… I laughed for quite some time. :lol: I must now search the net in hopes that someone took a picture of it…

Sums up a lot of my issues with math problems

It’s always that one tiny error, that screws up a multi-step problem

Television stopped being about good writing and talent a long time ago. They only care about ways to entrap your eyes long enough to get a rating. Speaking of which, that system is hella out-dated. Why aren’t smart TVs being used for this instead of spying on people and trying to entrap more eyes?

Anyhow, the Jimmy Olsen of the past just doesn’t fit anymore, especially in a show like Supergirl.Admittedly, I haven’t seen it yet, but if it’s how I believe it to be, as conjectured from the current fem-centric social environment, where a good portion of the show is pandering to the fact that a woman is on the screen, then I’ll have to concede that Jimmy Olsen as a goody-two shoes, golly-gee, stereotypical nerd would have instantly turned off their target audience. The show is shoe-horned into putting women into the foremost roles, and the writers, some of them women themselves, know that having female leads interacting with the traditional Olsen character would risk seeding disgust in viewers.

One one hand I hate pandering because it feels like you’re being catered to, at at worst pitied. But on the other hand, tailoring a universe like Superman to a new audience does allow for a departure from the stagnant normal. We could have gotten the same old Jimmy that we’ve always known, boring and reliable, but instead we get a fresh take on a character that’s well established in the setting. In the end I guess what matter is whether or not this Jimmy Olsen meets the needs of this Supergirl as written for this audience, which I guess is the entire point of creating entertainment media in the first place.

:tup:

@Manx you wrote all of that, and the simple fact is this:

SUPERGIRL IS A SHIT SHOW.

…Wait, did they turn another redhead into a black guy?

Second season is just as packed with stars. Got the dude from Everybody Loves Raymond, Nick Offerman, the guy who killed the kid from Breaking Bad, Kirsten Dunst, and more.

Holy fuck, I’m dead after reading this. Best thing I’ve read all day, aside from Negan being cast.

The female pandering isnt really bad. They had one feminist quip at the start of the new episode, and nothing more. I’m sure it will be faded out completely by the end of the season.

I would say, there are no more feminist quips in the show than you might read in the comics. But yeah, jimmy as he is now is much more interesting, but her sidekick winn schott (aka the toyman) definitely is the jimmy olsen type, and has a super crush on supergirl. Nigga got c blocked by jimmy so hard this episode. Nigga jimmy just straight up destroyed winns moment with supergirl.

Shows really good so far imo, and the ratings have dropped, but are still a little more than flash numbers. People are definitely tuning in. I think there are too many angsty white dudes out there who dont wanna watch it because theyve spent too much time hating women on the internet to enjoy a show starring one, and if the main female isnt some weirdo hipster chick with an attitude who likes to shoot people in the head for breakfast, theyre not that interested.

I guarantee you, people are not tuning in to Supergirl in an significantly large numbers. Ratings are rigged as fuck.

:tup:

Stage 4 Taste Cancer right there, man. :rofl:

Jimmy just in denial… He even talks to himself in the Supergirl thread.

Starbucks should come out with a new Christmas cup on Dec. 1st and release a passive-aggressive Twitter announcement that explains the red cups were for Thanksgiving. You fucking morons. :mad:

I know right. LMFAO!!!

If I were the Starbucks CEO I’d make the cups incorrectly holiday themed around every holiday just to be an asshole in response to the backlash.

Saint Patty’s day? Halloween cups.
Halloween? Valentines day cups.
Christmas? 4th of July cups.

So on and so forth.

yo @“The Epidemic” keep ur bitches in line
