"Invincible" is suddenly so tedious to chew through.... feels repetitive and mundane. They are just going round in circles...ugh! 😩

sincerely, like what’s the purpose of the training montage in the beginning when ordinary humans still beat the shit out of him🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. Very dumb back and forth plus the worst animation in tv history -I'm even enjoying your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman than this

abduleez1:
You have a problem with numbers..... You just inflate shit up and make up numbers out of thin air. 😅😅

About 110mn to 120mn people (in America) watch the Superbowl in recent years. Not 250mn peeps. Also don't know when USA population became 750mn people. 🤔🤔

Of course everyone knows hip hop isn't as mainstream in USA as other genres like R&B, Pop, Alternative music and the likes, that's why females dominate with their type of songs from them Rihanna, Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift being juggernauts but to come here and claim over 70% of music listening Americans don't know Kendrick is outright bullshit.

Looks like You sincerely don’t even understand what I've been saying and putting words in my mouth😩 because when did I say 70% of music listening Americans don't know Kendrick?? And also the numbers - 250 million watch the Superbowl every year - those numbers are from televised watch not overall boss

abduleez1:
Wrong!!

Majority of Americans live in Cities.
Not "rural country and small towns" you want us to believe just cause you now live there.

Dey suffry with these lamba.

Urban areas is not the same as ‘cities’ bro. I sincerely don’t even know how to explain further to you guys but anyways it’s not to big of a deal to be ignorant about

GloriousGbola:
Kendrick has 17m followers on YouTube

Not like us has 231 million views

His superbowl performance has 16 million views in 14 hours

Definitely black only.

That's actually a baseless accusation😂 I never said anything about Kdot having only a black audience. Also - not like us having 230 million views is not viable in my analogy. ROSE released a song with a billion views on YouTube in less than 2 months does that make her more popular than Kdot in America😒

abduleez1:
Leave that guy make him dey clown himself. Only him fans Sabi am na im sing along loud like say na half of stadium dey sing. Stadium with prolly about 80k+ if not a 100k people.

It's just clown talk to me saying SZA is more popular than K dot. Person wey collect 5 Grammys few days ago before Superbowl? Multiple Grammy winner. If them dey call rappers for US in this age and you no Sabi Kendrick, how you take be American.

I said I loved SZA's part more than Kdots' how did that turn to SZA is not popular than Kendrick. 😒

pu7pl3:
Omo that take was really surprising to me sha, we all watched the stuff...that "a-minor" part sef was Soo loud I doubt if anyone was quiet during that part na him baba wan dey tell me say na only blacks dey listen to am.

Being too loud (which it wasn't in my opinion) doesn't mean everyone in the audience responded! If you really want to know what it means for an entire audience to respond too music check out Eminem's Superbowl halftime show or even Michael Jackson's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdsUKphmB3Y

pu7pl3:
Youre in America but you've never heard Kendrick Lamar's music? Even if this demography exists it'll be in a massive minority, that man is a Pulitzer winner and multiple other awards.
Please say something else my guy.

I can understand It seems strange from where you're standing😪 but it is not to me and a lot of Americans who are not stuck online - which is a lot. There's a lot you guys sincerely don't know- I can bet my entire life earnings that there are a lot more Americans who know about Jason Aldean music than Kdot.

The music you listen to are played in American cities and are very popular to you all but it's a totally different scenario in the 'country' and small towns which is where most Americans stay🤷🏾‍♂️ - the way they listen to their music is different - do you think the radio stations are blasting a black guy's song singing paedophile in Iowa or Kentucky?

You probably still won't understand... anyways

Nickshrapnel:
wrong, halftime show performer have been announced at least 1 month before the Super Bowl, his beef with Drake has been known for over 6 months. They may not know most of his songs, they definitely knew who he was and some lyrics from they not like us

Uhmmm bro...... Looks like you definitely don't know anything about the super bowl😒 and Americans. Every American watches football on tv even Americans in the country side - farmers, milkers, the Amish - a larger percentage of Americans don't listen to rap music and go on the internet or Twitter to listen to a beef they don't give af about.
Most Americans in the countryside - middle aged and old dad Americans save up through the year to travel and get a ticket to the Superbowl - 90% of the audience are there to watch the game not the halftime show - that's just the added bonus - that's why most Superbowl headliners don't even get paid to host the super bowl and are just there for the publicity since over 250 million watch the game every year which is a third of the US population! They even have to say there name and introduce themselves after all the singing. So even more than 70% don't know any of Kendrick Lamar's songs and a lot have never even heard of him - I can tell you more people there know about Carrie Underwood and Dolly Parton than Kendrick Lamar. Remember it's rap - rap music is not very popular compared to the rest it's just very loud online

pu7pl3:
They dont know who K.dot is but they were cheering. LMAO

Agenda must agend

70% of the audience were white Americans who have never heard his music. His other fans would surely cheer. Haven't you seen videos from the stadium audience?😂 People were looking clueless and folding their hands asking who is that? Also- his lyrics were difficult to understand. Compare the Dr. Dre's and Eminem's Superbowl audience cheer to this - you'd understand what I'm talking about

abduleez1:
Lmfao...... Kendrick just murd€red Drake wholesale.
Don't think anyone would be willing to diss K dot anytime soon, not to receive the Hoe-VO treatment.

Really anticipating that South Park movie. 😂

The halftime was boring tho. 70% of the audience don't even know who Kdot is. Only SZA saved it for me

Baddestguyp:
Invincible has way higher budget than Solo Levelling but 90% of its budget goes to paying it's huge cast of celebrity voice actors...


Btw, out of the 3 episodes of Invincible released so far, episode 2 was the best character and storywise...

It's quite shocking that the show is 3 seasons in and still has no focus...I am getting tired of random supervillains every episode...

Invincible's power is so inconsistent that I am getting fed up also...seeing him losing to random villains just after they hyped up how much stronger he's become...

Apparently he's become so much stronger yet we don't see it in his fights...breaking the classic rule of show, don't tell...

3 seasons in and it feels like most of the show is still 80% filler...
We should be more focused on the central plot by now...

The teenage characters interpersonal and social issues are tiring to watch...
It's like watching a group of teens having the same repeated typical American teenage character arc...

EXACTLY!!!! The show is getting worse. Ordinary heroes always beat the shit out of him that his brother has to step up for him- that’s just so stupid and they want us to believe he’s doing it because he doesn’t want to kill people. That's why I like animes like Solo Leveling - insane animations! I haven't actually seen better animations like this ep 6 in anime at all and the story is always easy to follow.
Hollywood don't care anymore about animations except to suck money out of it

GloriousGbola:
Question - do you work in a business?
So if your ceo handed the business over to a 24 year old comp sci grad with no working experience to audit would you be excited because the person is young?



then why has elon not presented the list of his superteam to the public? is that how it is done? Public enterprises being audited by faceless people?

Wait!!😂😂😂😂 WTF?! You think 19 year olds are auditing the govt?! This is the kind of misinformation CNN and the rest are feeding you guys! Bro, you're being scammed silly. I'll give you the details👇 and I hope you actually try to understand instead of read to argue.

If you really want to know what DOGE and the federal government is actually doing - the most significant information is in the Office of Budget and Management website and the US treasury Department websites not even from Elon Musk homepage because 90% of what he even types is satirical. The purpose of DOGE and the 20 year olds is to find money spent or trying to spend in the federal government that's wasteful, isn't needed or too expensive - like the FG giving 20m for condoms to Gaza or spending 80m on toilet seats - when they find this out it's their job to ADVISE the Federal government Treasury Department to cancel this contracts. Elon Musk doesn't have any power to cancel or audit ANYTHING - it's the job of the Treasury Dept. This is actually something Elon Musk actually did and always wanted to do when he was an intern in a hedge fund- Elon Musk actually studied Business and Accounting when he was in Penn State something the media doesn't want you to know about- he has also cut cost in the 3 different billion dollar companiew he owns.

All the 20 year olds are doing is going through read-only federal govt data bases and finding out where the monies are coming from and where they're going and ticking out which is important and not and advising the govt on what to do- THAT IS THEIR ONLY JOB.

GloriousGbola:
it was the same case with the BBC story

like i said before - all these 'exposes' are noise for the barely literate. the court of public opinion.

the Doge team are computer programmers barely out of school. they are inexperienced. they are mid twenties

this is a feature not a bug

Elon wants impressionable inexperienced zealots who will take instructions without question. kids who will follow instructions without question because they have complete faith in the dear leader.

you will note there are no reports of actual supervisors

most importantly, as i have seen noted elsewhere - if you want to uncover fraud, you get actual experienced forensic accountants, not wet behind the ears computer programmers

the irony is some of those cheering for this actually know this is all BS because they actually have an audit background.

is this how audits are run in professional organisations?

incidentally, this is also how Sanusi was embarrassed as CBN governor when conducting an investigation and announcing figures that had to be amended.

this is the type of shit we get from EFCC - the court of public opinion - going around half cocked announcing results of barely started investigations

https://www.latintimes.com/federal-employee-had-justify-existence-doge-college-freshers-interviews-575079?utm_source=pocket_shared





this is what Musk is unleashing on the federal government - literal children with no work experience given the duty of evaluating senior employees.

even worse from what is coming out - the team are a bunch of racist, edgelord - its just a joke bro trolls

Why in your opinion would you call 19-24 year olds impressionable and 'a bunch of kids' when the same children can be drafted for war at 18. Democrats have been the ones calling for youth in govt but it looks like that works only for Democrats themselves. The fact that even lawmakers have now turned to lying to the public(which thinking about it is not new) to escape from audits.
DOGE is not just 20 year old engineers- they have been calling for recruits since November and have almost 112 staffs working hours a week on this- the media just want you to think that🤷🏾‍♂️.

Ibime:
How far you have fallen, that you now follow and quote Laura Loomer

Laura Loomer is one big pile of dog waste

I've been reading comments here about Elon Musk, DOGE and USAID and it's quite puzzling how there's a lot of misinformation about the whole issue especially from Democrats here. There're significant amounts of information directly from the Treasury Department on X and the official websites but nobody has time for real information but information about what factors their side 🤷🏾‍♂️. That's such a shame.

I have relatives and friends who worked for USAID and I can tell it's a fact that it's a corrupt organisation - 37% of its budget of 40 billion goes directly back to officials in DC- the fact that Democrats are complaining about Elon Musk DOGE and not even giving any thought about the waste is quite strange and the fact that Sen. Elizabeth Warren literally said 'ordinary citizens shouldn't know what's happening with their tax dollars' is so stupid.

The fact the New York judge not only stated that the head of the Treasury Department should not have access to his own files but also to destroy evidence, documents of what DOGE found out should make you actually sit back and think.

They're saying Elon Musk is trying to make money off of tax payers is laughable 😂😂# the Dems are so disjointed that they don't even know who to fight back or complain about😂.
Man this is a really entertaining timeline in the US😂😂

Calibrator:
Solo Leveling S2e6


E don cast

This was the best episode so far

blingxx:
The ending is not really that bad sha , you didn’t get the point of the movie

Bro called one of the best endings of a movie childish😂.

can someone tell me why Invincible animation sucks ass! This is like the worst kind of animation I've ever seen! No wind no fire no action back-drawings or effects. I was watching solo leveling and I was comparing😭 at least there are great action sequences and people's hair blow in the wind in the latter- in invincible it's like they just keyframe character's position and call it animation

OhBritannia:
The Substance is a solid 8.5/10 for me.

This movie would have easily be a 10/10 for me but the ending ruined everything.
All the great work and storyline all ruined with that childish ending, looking like a low budget horror scene from the 80s.
Apart from the childish ending, the movie is a great movie, perhaps one of the best movies made in the last decade.

These people keep trying to tell the world something through their movies and only few people keep getting it.
This is more than a movie, this is a revelation and i hope few people get what they are trying to reveal to us.

Symbolism is a hidden message.

Childish?!

oyaskii:
Ha 😂...had to actually check if it was not "Disbussing films" acc posting this...the premise is so so wild...

Yooooo😂😂 I didn’t even see this before replying..... ditto

pu7pl3:
abduleez1 why you never post this one?

I had to look it up to see if it was discussing film or disbussing film that posted this 😂😂

BlackManta:
This might be an unpopular opinion.

Am I the only one that believes the 2005 Thing looks better than the new one?

The old version is a complete practical suit, no CGI.

The CGI on the new one looks rough and unfinished and his voice doesn't sound like it's coming out of his body.

Bro this is just the trailer - most CGI is ultimately finished just a month or less before the movie is out plus the new trailer is comic-accurate

abduleez1:
Despite the franchise power I can assure you if you put a weaker actor in a well known IP it'll underperform.

And REBIRTH is the perfect movie to test this my theory. Since all movies in the last trilogy all grossed $1bn+.

I can tell you for free, BARBIE wouldn't have crossed a billion if it wasn't for Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig. And a good movie.
Put in an Anya Taylor-Joy & Chloe Zhao and the results will be different.

Chris Pratt name doesn't bring money?? Lmao... No talk this thing for outside make dem no slap you. 😤😅
Have you checked that guy's movie list...you want a franchise to do really well at the BO, Chris Pratt is your go-to. And it works every damn time...is it animation or live action, he delivers.
Someone that was being casted too much in movies I was seeing people crying why he's in everything. He's easily one of the most popular male actors presently.

In fact, Chris Pratt is a meme for a studio's easy cash grab franchise movie.

There're a lot of billion dollar movies without actor's star power tho. I get your point but sometimes only franchise name power is needed to make a lot of money

BlackManta:
Jurassic World Rebirth is the clear winner of July box office.

Most of the July movie tickets will be going to the Dinosaurs first, it is a guaranteed billion dollar movie.

Superman and F4 will compete for whatever's left

It doesn't help that both Superman and F4 have similar vibes. Hence this is not another Barbernheimer situation.

One of them is bound to underperform.

I'm just glad Superman is coming out first with a 2 weeks headstart.

I sincerely hope Superman performs sincerely because DC needs this. There're a lot of cool stories in DC that have not been tapped at all - we have just seen only the tip of the iceberg

abduleez1:
I still don't buy this new Jurassic movie hitting $1bn. I might come back to eat my words but my intuition strongly doesn't see it, even if the previous movies were box office juggernauts.
I felt same way for WICKED and MUFASA despite all the online rave and shouts. And my guts didn't fail me.

Yeah, Superman and F4 both have similar vibes and that's why I don't like their proximity.

Either way, I feel Superman would pull huge crowds. It's between it and Jurassic World that would win July box office.
Rebirth looks like a $750-850mn+ movie to me....not a billion.

Has new stars nowhere near
No Chris Pratt or the former legacy actors to boost this one. New story.

Maybe but Chris Pratt name doesn't bring money nor the actors themselves - it's the franchise. I can almost guarantee a billion esp if the movie is actually good. It's a Jurassic movie - nostalgia bait plus children here lovers dinosaurs so children equals family equals money. That's the reason the Minecraft movie will hit 900m minimum

BlackManta:
I don't get the hype around Fantastic Four.

My first introduction to this group was the 2005 movie and nothing about them felt remarkable to me. I can't remember anything from those movies, it was average and forgettable.

I watched Spiderman 1 and 2 for the first time around that same period and I instantly became a fan.

There was a 2015 movie that I have not seen to this day.

I think people find this one interesting because it's a new MCU team. Eternals got plenty of hype too when the trailer came out. I don't think anybody remembers the previous F4 movies.

That's because you're a marvel movie fan - every fantastic 4 movie has been shit mostly because of the direction and because the rights aren't owned by Disney but 20th century Fox.
But in the comics- they're one of or even the most significant team in Marvel studios - they're the first comics ever in superhero Comics history - first ever drawn up heroes by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. They're the ones who fight of the worst the greatest villains in Marvel - Doctor Doom and Galactus so they're pretty very significant - they were just in the wrong hands in terms of movies that's why

Ojagun:
& Ugly

She's not ugly - she's beautiful but compared to Sue Storm and even in the Marvel Rivals game - no comparison

Kaycee7:
36 is too old?

Yes in Hollywood terms - plus she's too old to play the character - Sue Storm was in her early - to mid late 20s in the comics

MSGAMBLE9:
I felt Vanessa didn't have the grace and carriage of Alba to pull off that role jaree

Plus she's too old

abduleez1:
Lol, this Kain confession online??
No let uncle Sam catch you oo.
We wey dey here free and get legal backing, but you....👀

I no fear 😂 the govt have worse problems right now

abduleez1:
Yeah. I believe both will do well.
I'm not scared at all about anyone failing at the box office. It's just that they'd both cannibalise money off each other, seeing as they're both the same genre and somehow have similar style.

Ultimately, I think SUPERMAN would fare better.
Just that F4 gives Marvel lovers alternatives during that time.
And the fact that there's also Jurassic World in that timeframe is why I don't like their proximity.

Anyways, let the best man win.
It's an interesting month to gauge audience interest and patterns.

F4 will probably do better esp if Superman is not fun to watch for kids and comic fans

GloriousGbola:
honestly 90% of the time, it is those that pay for software that get shafted

and they are all getting out of control with enshittification where even premium users still get hit with ads

or adobe charges you to end your subscription.

the only downside of piracy where software is concerned is you provide your own support and you may have to wait for crack updates to be released when the game gets a major update

obligatory meme

Exactly 😭 no significant downside to pirating. Plus the amount of data and personal information this companies get and sell to others also😩 Is insane.
It's when I even got to this country I knew piracy was actually a crime - I didn't even know downloading films were bad and windows was not free 😂. The popularity of movies and games will not be anything if not for piracy in my opinion so they should give us our flowers

GloriousGbola:
youtube premium does not work with any of my cards
spotify works with my zenith.
and it was abduleez1's post that made me remember i have a spotify subscription i am not using. i am on a family plan .it is mostly my kids who use spotify

for the past two years, most dollar denominated online purchases have been hit and miss
some are even a case of works today, not working tomorrow

i like video games
the following are platforms that you can buy vieo games licenses from

steam - the best but no regional pricing. used to be able to buy from there until sometime last year
epic games - not as goos as stem, but they had regional pricing - and i used to be able to buy from there
microsoft store - hit and miss and games you but from there are configured differently - however, they have regional pricing and IN NAIRA

summary even though games bought from ms store can be wonky, i usually buy games from them - because they are available and tehy are cheaper - though they also come with their own k-leg.

You cannot be more right sir🔥🔥. This is not just about Spotify - the amount of subscriptions you have to use esp if you're a gamer, a designer and work with computers. Just a year ago, I was paying for
Adobe Creative Suites
Spotify
Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus. Spending like approximately $100 a month and I was not even getting what I need and I was not even using them much. I later discovered that ACS restrictions were worse than the cracked version because of the many restrictions it came with, you had to keep signing up and using the internet to keep access to tools you'd never use - the same with the movie streaming services - I watch only like 5 movies in a month for each when I can just download clearer 1080p and even 4k versions of every movie and show that comes out of the streaming i.e. I'm paying for lesser quality 😭.

Also I play a lot of video games too and I can tell you- paying for a video game esp when it's on PC and not on PS5 or XBox is absolute burning of money 😩- you're not even buying the game but a licence to the game. If the game doesn't have enough players, they could end your pass 🤦🏾‍♂️.

And you're getting an even worse version of the game sometimes, for example Red Dead Redemption 2 I once bought after playing the pirated version because I loved the game and wanted to support the company. I realised the game was running on 40-53fps and laggy when cracked versions were giving 60-100fps reason because of the insane restrictions in the game code to stop piracy thereby slowing down the game 🤦🏾‍♂️. Why pay for worse
