I feel this is a bit of a continuation of a previous journal I made in December: as I feel that the whole "adults being to old for toys" is a symptom of a larger problem for a lot of conservatives: the inability to recognize the value of pop culture. See a lot of conservatives think that, in order to be an adult, one has to put away all childish things, as stated in 1 Corinthians 13-11. but as usual, most conservatives take it to be a literal meaning and view anything they deem as "childish", i.e. anime/animation of almost any kind; video games; toy/model/collectibles collecting, as beneath them, and look down their nose at ANYONE who participates in it. Again, in my previous journal entry, you can see and hear them say as much. But here's the rub: the current and previous generations GREW UP with pop culture, even the modern conservatives who denounce it! As such, it has a considerable influence on the overall culture. It's something even the Japanese understand on a fundamental

'South Africa’s power grid is collapsing, with electricity shut off to residents for 8-13 hours a day. The problems that most South Africans face these days has nothing to do with carbon “pollution;” it is the fact that they are forced to use candles to light their homes and watch their food rot for lack of refrigeration. That the coal lobby has any political power at all is a miracle in South Africa. The country is falling apart before our eyes, becoming a failed state after decades of being one of the only functioning countries on the continent. The power company? Apparently not as well functioning as the coal lobby, perhaps because it is run by the government which is a socialist mess.' And THIS is yet another reason we need either DeSantis or Trump (or both) in the WH. Yes, I know the claims from our side regarding DeSantis. At this point, all I can say about that is: What he's been doing, doesn't seem to fit what the RINOs keep supporting.

It's happening. It's finally fucking happening! They turned Ultraman, a beloved international icon, into a fucking Marvel-esque caricature of himself! So the trailer reveals that Ultraman, that is Ken Sato(which DOES sound like an Americanized-Asian insert npc), is basically a bitchified Peter Parker, what with the quips he keeps dropping during combat, not to mention that Ultraman IS ALWAYS TALKING! During the fight scenes, name one Ultraman that was as much of a Chatty-Kathy as this knock-off! Not to mention the synopsis is ripped from episodes from several series of same, some of which are from Ultraman 80: and of course, no doubt, works to subvert our expectations by having the Earth Defense Force, whose job it is is to PROTECT THE PEOPLE FROM ALIEN INVASIONS AND MONSTER ATTACKS might not be the good guys, because of course! If I wanted to watch a decent deconstruction of the Ultra franchise, I'd just rewatch Ultraman Nexus! At least there I won't have my intelligence

So a friend of mine Dairugger made a post on a video covering on how Saban's Executive Producer wanted to move Power Rangers away from its tokusatsu roots in order to be more...mainstream, which you can see here: https://www.deviantart.com/dairugger/status-update/In-case-Executive-Producer-Simon-982572763 And upon seeing this abject retardation, I have some strong feelings about this, speaking as a lifelong fan of Tokusatsu. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Power Rangers, or Super Sentai, but I do recognize and appreciate its importance to the ever-growing fandom of Tokusatsu, and it does have a special place in my black, whithered heart. And I would be interested to see an original Power Rangers production, or at the very least one that isn't reliant on Sentai footage. I believe it can be done, with the right people and the budget. HOWEVER, it is the reason for the move away from Sentai that I find to be "problematic". You see, Simon Bennett, the exec. producer, wants to move away

Jesus H tap-dancing Christ on a cross, is anyone else sick of this bullshit yet? Is it just me, am I alone in thinking that the whole "public domain = shitty horror film" bit is just getting a tad bit overplayed? For God's sake, first it was Winnie the Pooh: which is of course getting a sequel, because the individuals who saw the first film are the same kind of retards who actually like the Disney live action remakes after all, and then the trailer for Mickey's Mouse Trap dropped: followed by a fucking game: For fuck's sake people, could you give better examples for Raz0rfist's arguments for IP laws, especially when he said this: It's like you're proving that we just aren't good enough to make something of good quality! You rant and rail against modern Disney with their endless remakes, and yet when those same properties enter the public domain they just get made into something worse! Speaking as a guy writing a book series, God help it if it ever does get released!
