Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

I got around and decided to try out the 7 episode season of Singapore-made Tom & Jerry. Ngl, it ain't half bad. Obviously it isn't as good as the 1940s episodes but unlike the modern american tom and jerry, these episodes are unqiue. They've a unique artstyle that isn't just classic T&J but made with digital art, instead it is very distinct. It carries on the humor and slapstick comedy but where it lacks I'd say is a dynamic soundtrack that follows the character's actions and the soundeffects are just too silent. One of the reasons that T&J was so funny is because you could 'feel' the sounds. If Tom got smacked he'd scream like a madman, when he crashed into the ground it'd sound like someone dropped a fridge off of the 9th floor. The intensity made every bit of slapstick way more funnier. Someone runs into a pole? Shotgun sound. Iron pole? Shotgun off metal sound.
On the other hand the singapore series just doesn't have enough of that. It tries, but too rarely.

In short, it is unique enough to be worthy of notice but it is just too mellow to stand up to the classics. Also the episodes are only 3 mins long which sucks.
 
nvm the problem about dynamic music, it was just an issue with a few episodes. Still, it could've been more distinct as it was in the 40s.

Is it just me or did the background for VSBW become a darker blue?

The default seems to have been changed to Dark Mode. You can go back to the previous colour scheme theme, Light Mode, by selecting it in your Preferences page, accessible from the drop down menu that is opened by clicking your username, left of the alerts button in the top right.

It surprised, confused & unnerved me, too, earlier.

Oh right this is a thread for opinions.

Uhh, Chromakopia is better than GNX.

Agreed. While GNX had the better rapping performances from Kendrick, Chromakopia had the best concept from a Tyler album to date. The production and cohesiveness of the album were better as well, while some of the Kendrick songs (while good) didn't sound as if they belong on the same album. Tyler's features were also better for the most part but I can't really blame Kendrick as he was tryna to create a career start-up for local rappers rather than search for established talent (outside of fellow TDE member SZA.)

Overall, I'd say both albums are album of the year contenders in a year of lots of good albums.
I'd give GNX an 8.7, which would slot it around 4th-8th this year, and I'd give Chromakopia a 9, making it my 2nd favorite album this year.

I Am Music (CARTI PLEASE DROP 😫)
I definitely go back and forth on this a lot this year but honestly? Dark Times by Vince Staples has been speaking to me. Sometimes it's Samurai by Lupe Fiasco, other times it's You Only Die 1nce (Gibbs), Blue Lips (Schoolboy Q) was an amazing project as well but I think it's Dark Times rn.


Just as a top 5
Dark Times (9)
Chromakopia (9)
Samurai (8.8)
Blue Lips (8.7)
You Only Die 1nce (8.7)
 
Only one I haven't listened to yet is Lupe's project but those are definitely good picks for top 5
 
when the equivalent of great old ones in xianxia novels who are supposedly millions of years reflect none of that experience and act like a teenager with the intelligence of a toddler and the body of an old man, i can forgive the non existent effect of time on their sanity but their ungodly experience is never mentioned

It just seems like the authors can't grasp that living that long as the top dog in a world filled with magic spells and cultivation methods would make you a god, millions of years of experience should overshadow any effect talent would have on anyone yet that's somehow never the case, it's like they never grew or developed, they just stagnated in growth since their "youth", them never learning the diverse spells and techniques in their libraries in those millions of years must be due to the synergy effect caring about pride and face more than a thousand chinese men ever could and being an idiot had on them

it's just stupid
 
Y'all really listened to Meteor Man, Paars in the Mars, and The Rush and thought it was the whole album lol
 
i couldn't bring myself to listen to the whole album twice over it's real bad man

Vultures 2 is next level ass man. I can see people enjoying Vultures 1 (I personally thought it was okay), but Vultures 2?
