Well, to be fair, “Why can’t websites just remember that I said no to cookies?”

My expectation was that one might rotate an equine on an axis other than yaw.

That’s the neat part, I don’t. If there’s anything really important, it will leak into memes, or I’ll hear it from family members, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a piece of news and thought “Oh, it’s a good thing I know that now.”

Oh, you support a mainstream candidate, huh? What else, do you like eating babies? Why don’t you just admit you’re evil incarnate and vote for my favored candidate instead?

I haven’t really noticed much, but that’s because I’ve taken to blocking political communities once they start bothering me by putting too many article links in the front page or being generally rageful.

Sounds like a good feature request to make.

Fun fact, Lemmy supports that kind of citation without you having to format it manually^[1]. It’s pretty convenient if you ask me. I mean, maybe some apps won’t see it correctly, but it should work.

But they’re naturally not us for some reason, right?

Lemmy can have its fair share of echo chamber syndrome. For example, almost nobody here vocally likes Reddit, and if you post anything pro-Reddit, it’s likely to be met with a lot of negativity. I’m anti-Reddit too, for the record, but it’s good to acknowledge tribalism even when you agree with the tribe. But the nice part is Lemmy can’t have competing echo chambers nearly as easily as Reddit can because we’re so much smaller.

t’s not, but apprecate the attenton to edge cases.

A housecat can kill a level 1 commoner, you know.

Glad you got the joke, ll.

It’s probably counting things like the X-Men movies, Spider-Man movies, Blade, Fantastic Four, etc… Things that might be/get tied into the MCU, but aren’t really a part of it.

As for the DCAMU, yeah, it’s more adult. Some of the movies were too adult for me - one of the things I am picky about. It’s the reason I don’t like the Suicide Squad (I really like the concept, but the crude humor isn’t for me.) The movies are also edgier than the MCU, but I can’t say whether they’re edgier than the live action DCEU; I haven’t watched most of them, but I know they tend to be darker to a fault.

Thanks, your words make me happy, even if it is just on the topic of recommending superhero movies.

I wouldn’t take my recommendation at face value if you’re picky, because I do like the vast majority of superhero movies I’ve seen, including almost all of the MCU. I’m very much not picky, but I do feel like the DCAMU is one of the most epic superhero movie sagas out there.

Also, the MCU is only at 33 films, which is still a lot.

Yeah, I understand that. The DCAMU is one 16-movie universe, so no reboots to worry about, but if you do want to watch it, skip the Flashpoint Paradox. That movie is very much all over the place, especially for the “first” movie in the series. It’s technically not part of the universe, but it’s the origin story of the universe. I would highly recommend just reading a synopsis and skipping to the second movie, which is the origin story for the Justice League in that universe.

Also, animated DC and live action DC are worlds apart. The animated movies and shows have consistently been far better (with one exception being the Flashpoint Paradox. I honestly think the live action version of that was better.)

I would compare the DCAMU to the MCU (maybe just up through Endgame.) A key difference is that the MCU is convergent (they spin up new storylines and tie them into the main thread) and the DCAMU is divergent (they create spinoffs and loop them back in later.) A lot of MCU wannabes try and fail by going with the divergent model, but the DCAMU pulls it off pretty well in my opinion.

What about long-running animated movie series, like the DCAMU? Well, it might not be your jam because it gets dystopian at some parts.

I was with you until you started trash-talking people who enjoy media that is specifically designed to be enjoyed.

I’ve never seen that association with my friends who use it. It’s always been more of a meme word, a meaningless adjective you throw into a sentence to make it “funnier.”
