Nowadays there are several tools where you tick options and do it in one click.

It's definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don't often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I'll occasionally even look at what's trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.

Either way, it's not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins's Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by "all" I mean "most", of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.

What led you to that ciscendental revelation?

Maybe. But IIRC it's still not the reason she got the powers. I think it was because they were related or something, she was able to incorporate Hulk blood somehow. She didn't become She-Hulk due to massive exposure to radiation.

I didn't say it wasn't formulaic, I said it wasn't AS "formulaic". Back then popular music still had much more variety, nowadays whatever flows to the top is much more same-y, and you gotta dig deeper for the interesting stuff.

I don't think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.

I've got good news for you, it's in top 5 best animated TV shows of all time, pretty much on every website that has rankings, and sits at 9.3/10 rating on IMDB with 410k votes. A lot of people appreciate it very much.

Mid-2000s were also kinda nice. We got relatively capable pocket computing devices. Proper 3D games. Avatar: The Last Airbender. Music was not yet so... algorithmic.

Kinda downhill from there, though, ngl.

I'm not sure how "shut the fuck up" fits into all of this, but thanks!

My joke is a reference to Gozer the Destroyer, a.k.a. Gozer the Gozerian.
