Thoughts on 3D and Sports



I like 3-D. I don’t know why so many people seem to complain about it so much recently. If you don’t like it, go see the 2-D version. It’s not like you’re being forced to see a movie in 3-D, nor do you HAVE to put down $1,000 for that new big screen 3-D TV that forces you to wear stupid glasses.

I hate sports. I hate football. I never understood it. I never will. And I hate how sports geeks frown upon regular geeks. I should be allowed to walk around the streets in my Star Trek uniform and not get funny looks the same way Sports fans are allowed to cosplay as their favorite athletes...

I play sports. I don't watch them. Watching people play sports is like watching a friend play a video game. Pointless

@Panda1996 So then I'm not the only one who sees it?

Agreed. The last panel, for some reason, reminds me of Jhonen Vasquez.

I don't know if you'll read this comment or take it seriously. But my dad says he likes sports because it's the only thing you actually see someone on tv for a brilliant, none cliche talent. Instead of only people who look good, present tv shows and singers. People actually get to show their own talent and become famous for their own talent.
I still hate sports, and even doing forms of sports myself, but in my dads viewpoint I can see why they can be looked up to. Watching someone being famous for their own talents, which the talent can varie on many levels instead of being clones of other people.

The reason the startreck ethusiasm is frowned apon cause its boring and normal, sports enthusiasm is crazy and sometimes extreme

i love sports but only playing the said sport. watching it is as boring as watching static on TV



3:42am Fri 2nd Dec #8184367

LMAO i seriously know what you mean...about both of those. i just don't get it.

I totally agree. I actually love Star Trek(which is why I liked this comic so much, lol) but my friends all gave me weird looks every time I brought it up. So I just kind of stopped, after a while. Yet it's somehow perfectly ok for them to cosplay as and buy plushies of anime characters?

And 3D can be good for some movies, but I've been to a few where I don't even notice the 3D because there's really no point to it being there. >___>

Agrees on the sports and 3-d thing. Though I do enjoy a few sports I will never be a humungous fan....

I'm offended that you chose to put him in a Green Bay jersey! I love the Packers... But yeah, football doesn't need to be in 3D.

3D has gotten to the point where it's overdone. Most movies that are done in 3D lately are usually *adapted* into 3D, which makes them kind of stupid. The ones that aren't adapted are truly incredible, though.

You're awesome. :)

That would be an interesting experiment. Have a couple of guys go to public places. One wears a team jersey and the other wears a painfully obvious nerd fan garb of some kind and get people's reactions. What would make it even more interesting is the "nerdy" guy will wear the sports jersey and the uber cool macho sports guy will wear the nerd thing.

I wonder if it's already been done.



6:22am Sat 1st Oct #8182495

Gah, sports. D: I hated sports at school. And also, there are two soccer clubs where I live that just have the fans fight each other every time they talk about it. That's so annoying.



5:58pm Tue 9th Aug #8181963

The reason it's this way is because if it wasn't then the world would be the slightest bit better.
And we can't have that, now can we?



9:18am Sat 6th Aug #8181930

Agree.



11:09pm Fri 29th Jul #8181600

I say that about wrestling, it's boys or "men" sexual harassing each other.



7:31pm Fri 29th Jul #8181586

I always was mocked for watching Romance Movies because "that's so gay" but I would point out that watching a guy get a girl to fall in love with him is less gay than watching a bunch of muscle bound men playing grab ass.

My only problem with 3-D is that my eye sight is different in each eye, and it's impossible to get the 3-D effect without my glasses being under the 3-D glasses, even though i'm long sighted, which is really a problem with me... and not the actual 3-D. :)

Movies like Tron (awesome, loved it, seen it twice, in every dimension possible just to be sure...) can be greatly enhanced by 3-D, because it fits the futuristic, technological feel of the settings and the multi-dimensional world the characters occupy, i.e. reality and digital. Surely THATS what 3-D is best for... there's no point having it on every movie that can afford it.

Haha, second strip is funny because it is undeniably true :D in ths country it's not so bad because we don't have football, we have rugby... we is generally alot rougher, scarier, no-one wears any padding, and theres plently of girls teams - but here: soccer is a NIGHTMARE. some of those players get paid in a week what a nurse gets in 2 YEARS, and even though they are terrible role models - are WORSHIPPED by fans.

Okay. Rant over, normal breathing resumed.

I think it's sorta sad that this new generation of high-schoolers and middle-schoolers of today's era still do this. i find it sadder that they're all chatting away about the STUPIDEST shows! like Vampire Diaries, Jersey Shore, The secret life of an american teenager, or whatever... and then they all start getting on my case because i watch the older shows, like Star Trek, M.A.S.H., Cheers, I Love Lucy, and things like that, that this generation, MY Generation, never even heard of! What happened to the classics? why is it that Family Guy's theme is becoming the truth? 'It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV'. Where are those good old fashion shows in which everyone used to watch?! like the old disney things that had hidden jokes that the adults would understand, but kids won't, like in the Road to El Dorado! Why have kids shows been dumbed down so much that adults and any older kids can't BEAR to watch them? And as an example for this: Fanboy and Chumchum...
What has this generation come to?!
