It seems by the looks of it that your feminist agenda entails wearing tiny little hot pants and a tight T-shirt with no bra. I just want to say that I'm down with that!

I don't know. Maybe we caan renegotiate the terms? I'm happy to forgo the braless part as long as we stick with the hot pants?

riotous, I don’t know how you have the patience to go round and round with them in the stadia threads. What’s the general sentiment of them this week? PC gaming is doomed? Console gaming is doomed?

In other news I tried out the steam link app on my home network playing Yakuza 0 on my iPhone with touch controls. I wonder why valve doesn’t just roll out a cloud service too. They could literally snuff out Microsoft, Google, and Sony’s efforts in one stroke.

10 bucks a month to stream your steam library from their servers, 20 to have a pool of “Netflix style sub games too”. That’d be neat.

Quote from: Finale Fireworker
I figured I'd post my personal experience with RLM content here. I've never talked about it before, but I used to love the Harry S. Plinkett reviews. Like, a lot. I guess it's going to read kind of bloggy. Sorry about that. It's probably not that interesting.


I was in my mid-to-late teens when the original Plinkett reviews of the prequel trilogy came out. They were unlike anything else on the internet at the time and I thought they were truly sensational. I came across the Phantom Menace review shortly after its first release and was part of the crowd that clamored for them to "do the other movies" in between each review. I rewatched them pretty regularly. Every time I met someone who liked Star Wars but hadn't seen them we would make an evening out of watching them. I've seen the Plinkett prequel reviews more times each than I have seen any of the actual Star Wars films. Although I am part of the group that have "revisited the prequels" with some positivity my experience with them is still very largely defined by the RLM Plinkett videos.

As the Plinkett series went on and started to have an actual narrative behind the reviews I thought it was amazing experimental film-making and a seminal internet experience. I watched the Baby's Day Out and the Avatar reviews like once a month. I thought they were really funny, but more importantly, I found them extremely validating. Having a multi-hour analysis dedicated to something you largely agree with was a thrilling self-indulgent exercise. I didn't love these videos just because I thought they were funny and unique. I loved them because I thought they were right. I agreed with them. They weren't just funny to me, they were validating.

I never really got in to the actual personalities behind the show. I never watched the "real" reviews like the Half in the Bag. I was only in it for the Plinkett stuff. In a weird way those Plinkett reviews are part of why I loved Star Wars. Even though they were exceedingly negative and comedic, relating to the brand over how much I hated parts of it was really cathartic. That negativity was how I expressed my enthusiasm. While I definitely do not hold those videos in the same reverence that I did as a teenager, they definitely got me started on approaching things critically and trying to explain why I liked (or didn't like) something instead of just treating my opinion like its own absolute. They are juvenile, but so was I, and they were a great place to start at my age.


What changed how I felt about all of it was the Plinkett review of The Force Awakens, which prompted a great deal of self-reflection on my part. I still very vividly remember what got me reflecting on things. It was from an AV Club article linking the review. I was able to find it.

For those not in the know, Harry S. Plinkett is a movie-reviewing character created by RLM’s Mike Stoklasa. The character is often described as ”psychotic” and simultaneously embodies the best and worst qualities of online film reviewers. He’s able to offer thoughtful insights into the inherent flaws of mass-marketed genre pictures, while still maintaining his image as a hateful pizza-roll eating slob— albeit a self-aware one. Plinkett’s reviews of the Star Wars prequels became wildly popular a few years back, so people have eagerly awaited his take on Force Awakens.
When I read this, I thought it was spot-on. Harry S. Plinkett was always a post-modern Comic Book Guy to me. The Comic Book Guy in The Simpsons was an obvious archetype for the super-nerd who felt they were the authority on everything they loved. They spoke about their interests with pretentious exactitude and the audience was never meant to relate to this parody archetype. Comic Book Guy was funny, familiar, and common, but he was not portrayed as right.

Harry S. Plinkett was interesting to me because it cranked up the intensity to an almost Troma-level absurdity but he was also often right. What made him so captivating wasn't just the character, it's that you were meant to find what he was saying interesting, insightful, and even correct. You were supposed to relate to his criticism and beliefs even though you laughed at his character. I loved Harry S. Plinkett because I agreed with him. He said what I felt. The satire element wasn't only that he was extreme and perverse - it's that he gave good criticism too.

This meant Harry S. Plinkett wasn't just a satirical construct, he was a reflection of the viewer. Of me, even, which I was perfectly fine with. I thought it was good to portray such intense fan criticism with a self-deprecating tilt. Like, maybe we're all super in to what we love and have a lot to say about it, but what makes us different from that guy? Besides bestiality and murder, of course.

Then I watched the new video.

I haven't rewatched it since, so my memory is fuzzy, but there were several instances I remember as really uncomfortable. I remember him referring to the Star Trek movies and dropping a trans slur. I remember a diversion where he says he is "triggered" by the use of the phrase "mumbo-jumbo" and then goes on a fake tirade about how racist it is. This stuff sucked but I put off my response until the end of the video. And then it ended with a diversity rant... a long diversity rant. And this was really hard for me to parse. Because Plinkett was supposed to be a gross old murderer who said and did suspect things but ultimately said things I agreed with. His criticism was the selling point of the series. But this wasn't Plinkett saying what I was thinking. This was Plinkett making fun of me. This wasn't me relating to the Plinkett character in a tongue-in-cheek way, this was the Plinkett character making me the enemy.

And that was tough.

I thought back to the AV Club description of the Plinkett character from before I watched the video:

The character is often described as ”psychotic” and simultaneously embodies the best and worst qualities of online film reviewers. He’s able to offer thoughtful insights into the inherent flaws of mass-marketed genre pictures, while still maintaining his image as a hateful pizza-roll eating slob— albeit a self-aware one.
After watching the Force Awakens review, I didn't think this was true anymore. Instead of being a subversive construct that peddled legitimate and insightful film criticism under the veneer of a cranked-up Comic Book Guy, he'd become something totally different. The Plinkett character was definitely a hateful slob, but he wasn't self-aware anymore. He was, unironically, the kind of character he was supposed to be parodying. I liked the Plinkett character because it took my grievances with fandom and Star Wars movies and it put them in to words. It made them funny and far-reaching and somewhat smart. But Plinkett wasn't legitimizing my armchair criticism of Star Wars movies anymore. Now he was legitimizing ideas that hurt me. That part wasn't about Star Wars. That part was about me.


I just stopped watching after that and left any interest I had in their stuff behind. I was never really in to the RLM brand itself. I'm not on a first name basis with anybody. I don't know who anybody is or what they actually believe. But I know that I used to be really in to some of their content and felt really let down and targeted by that inclusivity rant. It made me rethink the whole series of reviews, and the entire character, and I felt completely alienated by something I used to really like. There have always been people who hated the Plinkett reviews and thought they were damaging to Star Wars discourse. I never gave any credence to that and still don't. I don't think saying "Phantom Menace doesn't have a main character" is damaging to Star Wars discourse. I don't think the super-flawed "how many things can you say about this character?" sequence hurts anybody. You can disagree with the method or the meaning but it's not damaging, I don't think.

But ranting about inclusivity and downplaying the significance it has, especially on young people, does hurt the discourse. It does hurt people. Because, just like I used to, there are people who watch the Plinkett reviews and laugh their ass off and think "this guy gets it!" I feel like the review for The Force Awakens validates the wrong kind of people and the wrong kind of criticism. That comes at my expense.

People can take what they want from this sort of content and maybe they can more easily separate out what they agree with and what they don't. But I really hate when people respond to these criticisms with claims of satire. Satire is not a shield. It's not a magic word that means you can say whatever you want without scrutiny. The whole point of satire, the very crux of its use, is to impart a political message. Including this section as a bullet point in a long review of Star Wars and the state of the brand isn't satirizing anything. It's airing a grievance. There is no way to delegitimize this part of the critique because the review presents it as legitimate.

I think continuing the Plinkett character in 2016 was a mistake. Star Wars discourse was extremely different after The Force Awakens and a character like Plinkett ceases to be subversive in an era where racists and misogynists reign social media with transparent fervor. Plinkett does not embody "the best and worst" qualities of anything anymore. It's just the worst.

And that makes me think back on how much I used to enjoy the content and how many people I initiated in to the character. I still can't think of pizza rolls without thinking of Plinkett. I still sometimes say "if you want to tell jokes, go to the circus." I still sometimes say "you might not have noticed, but your brain did." Stuff from Plinkett content that has been hard-coded in to my brain from all the times I watched the videos and shared them with others.

I wonder: did I change or did the content change? Did the Plinkett character become different or simply more of what it always was?

Anyway, I've never watched anything else from the site and am not very familiar with any of their modern or non-character content. I don't have any personal grievance with the site or the content beyond condemning the above and being disappointed by something I used to really like. From what one of my friends told me, their contemporary content is still very largely based on validating the existing feelings of their audience. So it probably isn't for me.


That's my sad story about how I used to like some funny internet videos and now I don't. Much ado about nothing, I suppose. But nice to talk about at least once.

Edit: Fixed some early-morning typos.

Thor is a name, not a title; even if they pass the hammer, why would they adopt the name? I'm confused.

It kind of works differently in the comics, but is kind of confusing. When the character started he had a human host of sorts, but I remember that latter they retconned on being some sort of artificial construct or Thor in human form in anycase or something.

 I didnt pay attention to FemThor stuff so was news to me that she was Jane Foster.

I feel the MCU can totally pull off a FemThor story arc, specially since it seems that they aren't kicking out Chris Hammsworth, but Natalie Portman didnt seem specially thrilled to comeback to the MCU.  :lol

wait, they're rebooting thor?
I thought he was going to be a drunkard in space now

He still should be.  All we know if that Jane Foster is going to be female The Mighty Thor in the next movie.
???
Thor is a name, not a title; even if they pass the hammer, why would they adopt the name? I'm confused.
Unless it works differently in the MCU.

It is kind of dumb and I hope the movie just avoids the name thing.

Other characters semi-regularly get the powers of the Thor in the comics such as Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike, and eventually Jane Foster.

Brief version.  Warning: nerd shit:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Thor is deemed "unworthy" to hold the hammer after The Watcher (old white guy Nick Fury- don't ask) tells Thor about something he did in the past which causes him to lose the hammer.  His hammer just sits there until someone picks up and this is revealed to be a new female Thor.  This is explained by the inscription on the hammer stating that "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." 

Then we find out that Jane Foster is Thor (Thor himself stayed around using the name "Odinson" and doing his own things in other comics.)  They gave the character a finite life span in this role because she was dying from cancer and every time she changed into Thor, it undid whatever treatment she got.

That's gonna be pretty heavy if this is what the movie storyline adapts.  The character then died after
 one final transformation, Thor was back to Thor, and they brought her back again recently as a Valkyrie.

It's confusing since I don't follow comics as religiously as other people so I don't get why there would be two people named Thor.

They've done this before- Beta Ray Bill was "worthy" and transformed into Thor after picking up his hammer for the first time.


Comics
 :expert

Oh yeah, forgot about this-

After Jane Foster Thor, there was also WAR THOR, who apparently was Volstagg wielding the Ultimate Thor's hammer.
:dizzy

[close]

The TL;DR version is that if they follow the comics, Natalie Portman as Thor doesn't mean that Chris Helmsworth is going anywhere.  He already has the axe to use instead of the hammer.  Fanboys losing their shit over movies they claim to hate all the time, yet spend truckloads of money running to the theaters to go watch multiple times.  The usual.

I was thinking actually... You know how we look back at some of the pastimes of our ancestors and think, that was weird? Did they really do that? Like for instance when Victorians would take pictures of their dead children or family members propped up on a chair as if they're still alive and put them in photo books.



People will look back at this generation in a similar way.

5 minutes away from my family's house in PR is a funeral home (that we've used) that offers these types of services:

The girl standing up is dead. You can tell by her hands.



Edit: Actually not true. The girl is alive. It's a myth.
