"I find myself getting increasingly more protective of this fictional character as I keep writing him. Here's hoping that everybody keeps buying it because if they don't I know the next person is going to kill him. No, I'm just kidding." - Jeremy Adams

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

A truncated effort today because of... stuff, but I'm sure you'll cope.

The Olympics continue, with New Zealand putting forward the first transwoman weightlifter. There was the usual kerfuffle, though as at the same time cis female athletes with natural tesotosterone levels higher than the Olympic limits were being banned from some track events, but not others, it's all something of a mess, organisationally, never mind from the point of view of equality.

Finally caught up with "Luca", Pixar's recent release about amphibious sea monsters living off the cost of a heavily Ghibli-styled looking Italian coast. It is charming and beautiful and is utterly predictable from the word go, but I'll take it as comfort viewing

"Transformers: War for Cybertron: Kingdom" (The titles of these series were SO clumsy) brought the Netflix trilogy to an end. It was... serviceable enough, though it nice to see our first ever on-screen gayTransformer, as Blackarachnia was clearly more interested in Arcee and Airazor than any of the male Transformers, going so far as to give a blushing (but not resisting) Airazor a little peck on the cheek when she is rescued by the Maximal bird bot. (Hey, I'm the biggest classic BW Blackarachnia/Silverbolt shipper going (Though what would the children look like?) but this was a cute alternative)

Also found a couple of fun podcasts, both from Atypical Arists (the studo behind the Bright Sessions et al). "Look Up" is basically a ten episode, slow-burn, meet-cute between two frankly adorable idiot boys (One a bit neurotic, the other the disenfranchised broody type) trying to restablish a connection after years apart, with a desintation that is very clear to the listener if not the two of them very early on... at least I hope it is, because I've not finished yet. "In Strange Woods" is a drama about a bunch of kids, after a tragedy, aiming to learn survival skills from a local loner in the Minnestoa Forest. It's also, weirdly, a musical.
