    Plot bunny got me the idea of potterverse Vs Skynet was too tempting.
    The more you dig and research the more you realize. The wizarding world pretty much survives alot of scifi without much issue. Canonically, potterverse magic breaks tech and magical pests go after electrical devices even with their 1950’s tech equivalence.
    Terminators have no chance of infiltration, between rapid transit, remote locations and the fact wands don’t run out of bullets and adult wizards can produce explosions pretty much at will and keep at distance, They can pretty much survive by staying hidden and steadily attack Skynet’s resources whenever they so choose.

    All things considered I think you made the better choice. Last time I went in if it wasn’t for my phone alarm I set before hand I’d been there for more than a couple hours.

    While I ended up with something else (way better), yeah, always fun what you do come across.  Casinos are designed to help you lose track of the time, to keep playing.  First time to Vegas, I intended to gamble, but was actually put off by all the glitz, so I didn’t.  Opted for a show instead & the star trek experience.

    Are you sure that supercrazybonkers and something working are mutually exclusive? Maybe you need to be supercrazybonkers to make it work?

    This actually reminded me of an old joke.  A driver’s education teacher is lecturing his class of fifteen year olds.  He told them:  “Over half of all automobile accidents happen within five miles of home.  What do you kids intend to do about that once you earn your driver’s licenses?”  A kid in the back of the classroom raises his hand, and the teacher calls on him.  The kid answers, “Move at least twenty miles away.”

    InvidiaRed got a reaction from RFsych101 in I know it’s cool to hate on Velma , but it’s actually an entertaining show. It’s funn   
    I will respectfully disagree. Velma is latest definition of skinsuiting in which people will take a beloved and old franchise and rather than develop their own setting and stories. Force their own story where it doesn’t belong in a setting where it doesn’t belong and it shows.
    Like the wolf that ate little red riding hood’s grandmother. We can see the imposter wearing a well defined character that obviously doesn’t fit. Like the roach in MIB wearing the farmer it hollowed out.
    Everyone thanks to popular culture knows these characters. And rather than give us more appreciation for Velma the character it constantly bludgeons you over the head that this isn’t Velma. Its neither quirky nor fun watching some creature badly pilot her corpse and trash the setting in which its supposed to be in.
    The dissonance only grows more disquieting and horrifying the longer it goes on.

    I also have to respectfully disagree.  Velma is worse than “just” skinsuiting.  It’s Woke Skinsuiting.  While one seldom wins credibility by citing Wikipedia, I have to quote the last two sentences of the second paragraph from their English language article on the show.  “Audience reception was overwhelmingly negative.  A second season is in development.”
    Woke Skinsuiting isn’t merely “cultural appropriation,” it’s “cultural mis-appropriation.”  It is no more and no less than the soulless gangrenous circus-mirror reflection of Pat Boone (badly) covering Little Richard songs in the 1950’s.  Even Warner Brothers, the modern owners of all the Hanna-Barbera intellectual property, who love the Woke Dollar just as much as any other corporate megalith, flat-out refused to allow Velma’s producers to give Norville a dog—lawyers at the ready and all.
    If someone were to Whitewash The Boondocks, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, or Dora the Explorer; or if they Whited out Hadji Singh from Jonny Quest, they would rightfully be ripped a new one.  Same-o same-o here.  If you want to create a cartoon series featuring lead characters of “non-perceived majority” demographics, then go for it!  But create that series, don’t just “Wokify” an existing one that is “too White” for you, especially if you don’t understand the original main characters and circumstances.
    Ret-conning the White out is fraught with peril at best, even if occasionally works.  For every Nick Fury, there are at least a dozen Velma Dinkleys or more.  In Fury’s case, you could make him Black all the way back to his WWII origins, and make him more believable as a character instead of less.  In the case of Velma, it’s somewhere between pointless and baloney.
    Velma won an amazing 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a seven percent audience score.  Perhaps they’re on to something?

    InvidiaRed reacted to Deadman in I got plot bunnied. Had one vague plot bouncing around Posted it just to help clear t   
    I hate when that happens. I have been playing with a few different plot bunnies because I’ve been dealing with repairs. So instead of actually writing, I end up with little bits and pieces of stories I haven’t written yet.
