|| mystery song of the day ||Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down
Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down
I see the way you go and say you're right again
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Face down in the dirt
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"

[@milkiassamuel780]

My deepest condolence for your loss, man. She seemed like such an adorable bundle of joy, and as someone who's had a handful of different pets in his childhood, the pain is always there, but the memories, connection and good moments you had with her make that pain feel less heavy to burden. Don't let anyone diminish the love I'm sure you had for her. RIP Marline. Before watching this movie, I wasn't sure of the idea of Bryan Cranston as Jim Gordon; however, as soon as I saw it, I finally saw the vision and was amazed by his subtle and great performance in this movie; he really would be an incredible pick to play Jim Gordon in live action. If I'm being honest, whenever I watch this movie, I'm actually more interested in the Jim Gordon storyline than I am in the Batman storyline, even though the Batman moments are really cool.

[@ag7898]

Sorry to hear about Marlene! It really sucks to lose a member of the family. I never understood the guinea pig animation in the beginning of the videos. But it made me smile to see that even though she is gone, yoi will still keep her memory alive through that animation.❤

[@whishiwhooshi5783]

Personally, I have no qualms with adaptations that deviate away from the source material. After all, if I just wanted the source material, then I would've just consumed that instead of the adaptation. As long as the essence of the original story is kept and it maintains, if not exceeds, the quality of the story. Then I have zero problems.

[@NightRunner2099]

I somewhat agree. However, a possible problem is that the continuity for that story might not match the current status quo and basically create contradictions. Also, no matter what, people will still complain about certain aspects. For example, Ollie killing Parallax Hal at the end of the gl movie with an arrow is comic accurate. Yet, people still complained. Syndicate's death in COIE was also similar to the comic. But they still complained.

[@NightRunner2099]

@@Ttyumbra I agree with Flashpoint and Under The Redhood. I'm not the biggest fan of All Star. It has the overall story. However, it skips a lot of good moments that have the story its depths. And AW isn't really based on any comic. The closest that comes to my mind is The Darksied War. However, the story elements are drastically different. The most common thing is that they're both Darksied stories. And I wouldn't say that movie is better than Darksied war. I don't like how edgy it is just for the sake of being edgy and Superman's plan didn't make any sense.

the pain we feel at the loss of a loved one does not stem from the realization that we will never see them again. no, it is the debt of gratitude for the happiness, love, memories, both good and bad, that were made while in each other's company. it is a debt of love, love gathered over multiple years paid over the course of weeks, months. this is why the pain is intense, because it a large gathered over a long time repaid all at once over the course of a fraction of the time the friendship was formed over. know that your friend will be the recepient of your emotional outburst, they will be humbled in the afterlife and thus exalted.

More-so they can feel some higher power influencing things, infer when the story is focusing on them, and position themselves to benefit from whatever narrative tropes are in play.
