Bradbury's short stories are always good.

No, your discussions are made based on stimuli, therefore stimuli controls you.

Yes, I don't like them.

I can help with cummings.

His short stories, in a twilight zone type format.
Specifically "Bang you're dead" and "The smiling people"

Bu)(Mp

e.e. cummi ngs.

All agree with you there.
Because i just don't like it, but I have no complaints other than that.
Thank you for being the first one to present an argument that wasn't merely
I'm right and you're wrong.

Prometheus Bound IS the backstory.
It's part of a trilogy.

>Shelly (the modern Prometheus)
>Nope, it's pretty vague and skips over stuff all the times.
Imagine how vague it would be if everything was

>Keep calm and blank.
Mind the gap.

Thats why I put "Anime" in "Quotation marks",
>Implying I was saying it sarcastically.
The american part of it is the worst one.
>It's all american.
I know.

>>3190046
>Aeschylus (Prometheus Bound)
>Bradbury (sometimes in his short stories, but at least he doesn't hint at it and nothing else like a kid yelling "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU")
>Shelly (the modern Prometheus)
>Camus (The Plague)

>>3190024
No, I didn't miss it.
I'm very well aware of that "Anime" and it's sequel.
Grow up and watch something decent.

>>3190011
What I read?
Alright, I'll go there.
But that means you have to bring what you read into the argument,
agreed?
>Aeschylus
>Bradbury (most of his short stories)
>Shelly
>Camus (Plague>the stranger)
>Alberts (molecular biology of the cell, 5th edition)
>Cummings.

Thats my list of recent authors.
Now you.

Cartoon's aren't seen as mature because they aren't.
They were mature, but now they're more immature than ever.

>>3189978
>Wacky and mature.
Not at all angst filler and socially awkward, as if it was made to appeal to a certain group of people.

>>3189974
Now you know what it's like to argue with one of your kind.

>>3189935
You're so right about that!
Characters should never have any concrete details.
>And when everything is implied, but it still understand it, I feel smart.

>>3189932
You're right. I've just been some ignorant old man, while you young adults are the future of the world, which will never change until people like me learn to not judge things so much.
I was so wrong to think Adventure Time was immature, I was clearly wrong about it being a show spawned from reddit and designed to systematically produce memes.

>>3189910
>Ah, I've wounded you! I will relent.
Wow, you're so talented at literature, you can talk just like shakespeare. I'll bet you can quote hamlet from memory.

I really was wrong, you gave an example that is an entire episode long. Those Adventure Time writers sure must be invested in their characters, to make a whole episode that does nothing but imply things through a photograph and a vague letter. I don't know what they were implying, but that's because it's just so deep. I'm sure you understand it, because you're just naturally smart.

>>3189860
Sorry for committing treason, you're so much smarter than me.
I'll bet you don't even have to study for tests because you just naturally get good grades, because you're just that smart.
Tell me more about how by never giving characters a full backstory, they become so deep and not one dimensional.
I can't believe that you have looked at this seemingly childish show with so much detail, you really are special to suggest that their are dark themes which are present, but only if you look at it with your eyes crossed.

>Geeky culture.
Do you know what "geeky culture" has done to people who actually work in the sciences?
Most of the time I try to discuss biology or chemistry with someone who seems moderately intelligent, I get a conversation that goes like this;
Me: So, what do you think of increased protein aggregation in the brain as it ages, and what it means for longevity research?
Them: Do you science anon? ALL the science!

>>3189777
I'll agree with you.
I despise that show and what it stands for.
It's basically been designed to have a huge appeal to the meme crowd.
Somewhat of a new invader zim, it's fanbase just loves the fact that its so "rand0m!!!1111 lol" but it's even worse than invader zim in that it attracts the type of people who get off on being called "smart" and "special" and will charge you with treason if you so much as tarnish their giant "rand0m" idol.

I know that feel.
My little brother is the same way.
I'm guessing your parents basically coddled him out of some weird spite for you?
Mine know they messed him up, but are to pathetic to try and fix what they started, they don't want to hear him bitch and moan.
Then they have the audacity to blame his grades, weight, and attitude on me, an exemplary student who's got weight problems of being to skinny and pride myself on being polite and open.
They ask me to help them out with his problems, but every time I try to do anything about it, he whines and they yell at me because I'm not the parent, they are.
So I've decided to do everything I can from helping, seeing as every time I try I become a villain, and just wait for life to come and teach them a lesson they should have learned long ago and won't be able to recover from.
