The Nerd Thread (comics, movies, anime, cartoons, video games, lore, fun stuff, ect.)

More or less.

The SCP Foundation was fun back during its early days as a creepypasta-adjacent World of Weird collection of stories.

Then they let a single Vs Debater slipped through the cracks and oozed themselves into the community once. And now the entire verse is fucked up beyond all repair as it became the orgy of “My OC can beat up your OC!” schoolyard nonsense.

They tried to dial it back a few years back by creating the “Abel line”, basically an agreement that SCP-076-2 was the limit for how OP and cool an SCP could be. But as I mentioned, the floodgates got opened for every 12yo VS Debater to claim that their streetlight SCP can beat up Marvel’s The One Above All and Abel and Goku at the same time.

Funny thing is, stuff like Death Battle actually CAN’T use SCP for any match ups becuase of how open sourced it is, and how it doesn’t have any concrete canon “lore/feats” to go off of. (That an obviously the lack of any sort of actual visual media with them lol)

I think my favorite part of the Death Battle Cast between a hypothetical matchup was the SCP stan saying that SCP 682 would totally stomp Doomsday because ‘nuh uh shut up lalalalala’, while the Doomsday stan kept listing off comic feats.

Meanwhile Ben and Chad spent the entire time being like “So, uh, Doomsday scales directly to Superman if not higher. 682 will fight Doomsday by biting him?”

SCP’s are great for a public story but awful when taking a more detailed and critical view.

@CaptainXtra
Yeah

SCP’s work best when they have the vibe of a creepy campfire story or internet urban legend. When you actually try to contract more details/complex lore for them that’s when it starts falling apart

Best SCP is a wet floor sign that makes any floor it is placed upon wet.

So we’re powerscaling SCPs now?

How to make scary things not scary anymore 101.

@Dustcan
682 would win because it can’t be killed that’s its thing it can not be killed or at least won’t stay dead whereas Doomsday can and has been killed.
Like 682 match ups boil down to is can what its fighting be killed and if yes than naturally the thing that’s whole gimmick is not dying is the winner by default.

Yes that’s the problem.

682 used to be just “The really hard to kill lizard”. In the early days a bunch of his reports was about how he’d survive fairly conventional if extravagant methods to execute him. Except dropping a nuke on him. Not because the SCP heads knew it wouldn’t work, but because they were worried if it didn’t then they’d have to contain a radioactive 682. That was nice, an implicit maybe-or-not cap on the thing’s survivability, just enough to give it a charming character flaw.

Then one SCP lost a “Who would win” hypothetical once. And that traumatized the entire SCP community so bad it became their Canon Event. Now the entire verse is borked as it’s all become the shittiest race to create the most OP OC in all of fiction on top of rewriting existing SCPs to also never lose another “Who would win” matchup.

So something like 682 went from an alligator-looking whale skeleton that maybe could be killed by a nuke to the abstract concept of immortality itself.

@Darth Prime
173 almost killed it and 682 is afraid of it.

@Dustcan
682’s invincibility is more of a silly meme on the other SCPs, no matter how insane your idea is it won’t kill the lizard, pretty sure there is even a story where it turns out the one in o death was just dormant because there was nothing to destroy,

Yeah much as I love SCP stories, the power creep in some of the “classics” has been annoying.

I’m personally a fan of the anomalous locations and ones that involve what could be considered ghosts.

@BlitztheDragon
TBH I personally prefer a more limited scope but the rule is there is no canon, even if to many fans seem obsessed with imposing one, see how they bitch about SCP explained, while worshiping Volgun,

Sometimes I prefer wholesome SCPs.

Probably for the best that I am not a regular within the fandom then.

The simple curiosities are great too. Like a museum of paranormal objects.

-Denis Villeneuve not getting Best Director.
-“Challengers” not getting any nominations.
-“Emilia Perez” getting a whopping 13 nominations. And it got TWO in Original Songs, while neither “Mufasa” nor “Twisters” made it in for Original Songs.

What a joke.

“Captain America: Brave New World”’s budget is $180 million. That’s $10m higher than “Winter Soldier”’s budget.

“Nosferatu” director Robert Eggers’s next film is “Werwulf.” The film’s release date is Christmas 2026. He is also set to write and direct the “Labyrinth” sequel.

James Gunn Shares First Look Of Milly Alcock As ‘Supergirl’s Kara Zor-El As Filming Begins. Here’s the message:

Apparently Red Hulk is only in the movie for a few minutes.

Yeah I figured that out when they spent the last half year promoting the same 3-4 clips and they all take place in the same location.

I mean, the true villain of BNW is The Leader since he’s the one pulling the strings in the film. Red Hulk appearing for less than 5 minutes throughout the film isn’t surprising. Since Falcon cannot take on Red Hulk directly in combat, I imagine the fight between those two will be Falcon evading Red Hulk’s attacks until Red Hulk gets angry to the point where he overheats and turns back into Ross.

Whens Nolans Odyssey coming out?
