  • I mean there is a pretty rock solid standard thats been established for remakes. The remake is adapted to carry the current acceptable behaviors and dialogue for when the remake is made. So off top of my head having wached both x-men orignal cartoon and the new x-men 97 here are some charmges i noticed:

    original cartoon and whole franchise included has always had the parallelism between racism and anti-mutant plotpoints. X-men 97 went way more cruel with it to match the current world’s state of affairs. The original had anti-mutant figures INFILTRATING OR ASSOCIATED to the US government while x-men 97 has the anti-mutant sentiment baked into the government. The comments of the villans are way more cruel and seem motivated specifically by the current admin use of ICE. “Theyre like cockroaches you let one in and theyll all come with” im not looking up the exact quote but its the jist of one villain’s dialogue from episode 1 season 1 of x-men 97.

    Im putting this together on the spot commenting this so dont butcher me but another sentiment I feel changed is that in the original the anti-mutant plot was more of a battle to prove mutants are not dangerous or the enemy while x-men 97 anti-mutant plot is more focused on fighting against the biggots who are basically real life ICE 2.0.

    This was the closest example i could think of off top of head and i know this might be comparing aspects that are opposite to what you are asking. Cuz im not super familiar with the 2 specific shows you referenced but the understanding i took from it is baskically wondering if the Chapels show could get away with performing the skit “The Ni@@er Family” where the black mailman delivers mail to a white family who have a last name spelled the same as the n-word.

    My final answer is yes they could be remade but the remake would be a continuation of the characters like they did with malcome in the middle where they add story aspects that occured between the origonal and remake that would give basis for why sentiments or dialogue used by certain characters is now different.

    If you wanna know if they could do a direct remake of the original series then my answer is still yes and they would be written to exclude the curremtly unacceptable aspects of the original show.




  • Ill die on the hill that no matter the breed the dog will always be as good as their owner but I also have enough empirical knowledge of seeing what pitbulls and other similar breeds are capable of. DONT ADOPT DOGSCUZ YOU WANNA RESCUE THEM! I know every leading heart dog lover will call me crazy but duck that. If you wanna be a good owner to your dog than the time it takes to be a good owner for a puppy you had from birth should be where you start. Then after raising 5 generations, THEN YOU FUCKING IDIOT AND ONLY FICKING THEN you should entertain he idea of helping at your pound with canines who need rehabilitation. All youre doing adopting is talking yourself out of getting another dog. I have seen more people than i can count growing up who go to the dog store, see the posters to rescue, get their dog and either never see it thru its full recovery before getting rid of it or it was the last dog that person pr couple ever got.













  • Havent seen it yet so ill add it to the list: Sports programs. The highest paid government employee for like a decade was Nick Saban the college football coach for Univerity of Alabama. The NCAA schools pay fuckin billions for their coaches and athletics department and its all part of that great college experience you are paying for to get your $40k/year salary degree field diploma.



  • not every material containing asbestos is an immediate and incredibly dangerous health hazard (provided it’s just sitting there).

    Ill 1 up ya, asbestos is in almost everything you come in contact with on a daily baises. Home built between 1800’s and 1980? Asbestos in everything. Car parts = asbestos. Basically anything being made not to burn, has used or still uses asbestos. Its drastically less dangerous than what most people like to believe. Left alone, its fuckin harmless and will be hamless for as long as its left be. So dont freak out thinking you need to replace all your insulation in your old farm house cuz you prolly creating a problem that never wouldve became a problem.

    The only real live person I ever knew to get mesothelioma was my grandfather who worked as a plasterer his whole life. They used to spray the shit with their stucko, mask-less, with cigs hanging out their mouth. He got it in his 80’s and lived a very long very full life. Its one if the silliest things people choose to worry about.




  • You mean aside from making billions off of spying on people without their conscent? I guess its not as creepy that its publicly known, most of the data collection and targeted ad marketing was also predominantly children and teens. So i guess that excuses the other fact, that most of the targeted ads preyed on children and teens who showed signs of mental health symptoms. Its all good tho, its the world qe live in, errybody spying on errybody.

    So breezing over all the known-knowns, how about the simple fact he has paid out billions of dollars of fines for breaking the law to continue spying on people.
