[Video Description: a lynx casually walks down a snow covered bank, onto a log and reaches a frozen river. The lynx takes two steps; the ice cracks loudly. Instantly the lynx stands still. It then looks around and then leaps. The lynx makes a landing on the other side of the river, a faint crack can be heard. It continues on its way unfazed. /End VD.]

The whole “how the hell does this predatory creature get enough sustenance” thing that plagues fantasy and sci-fi occasionally gets so absurd it loops around into being funny, like the scene in Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon is flying through an asteroid field and gets swallowed by a worm.

I could complain about that, but I could also conclude that the supply of reckless space pilots flying into asteroid fields has been consistent enough for the past few million years for animals to evolve to prey upon them.

Who knows. Maybe there are enough adventuring parties roaming about the Forest of Doom to increase the available biomass at their trophic level in order to sustain tertiary consumers like giant spiderwolves...

“You’re going into the Catacombs? No one survives the Catacombs! Many an adventurer has tried!”

“Uh, how many have tried?”

“Enough to form an entire ecological niche for species specialized to prey upon them!”

“Oh. That, uhh, that is a lot.”

“Right? It’s pretty fascinating actually. I’m writing my thesis on it right now.”

What do the kids say now, this "goes hard"? Is that out of date? It slays? OK I'll be my age and say this fucking rules

I feel like I'm supposed to find this funny because it's Jack Black doing it, but actually, he turns out to be quite a good singer. This is a good cover.

one thing about Leverage’s The Rashomon Job that i found really interesting was getting to see the team’s perception of the world. everyone except nate saw coswell as a threat when he was really just totally oblivious and happened to have a crush on sophie. but they all remember his tone & body language as intimidating, cunning & hostile. because that’s the lens through which they view the world - everyone is a threat.

and that’s their downfall. if they had seen that he was just a random guy who posed no real danger, then they would have each had a much greater chance at stealing that dagger. but when you’re constantly in dangerous situations with no safety net and no back up, everyone is a threat. that worldview keeps you safe. it also keeps you incredibly distant from other people, makes you fearful and wary of everyone. this episode is a great reminder of where the team members were mentally at in season 1 and pre-series. you can see how far they’ve come, too. they have a level of safety that they never did before, and that’s allowed for them to explore emotions and relationships and wants rather than being solely focused on survival.

nate, on the other hand, has an actually accurate point of view. probably partially because he’s in far less danger than the others and because this was pre-sam’s death, so his worldview was likely a lot less grim than it is now, unfortunately. but he’s also just more objective. seeing the bigger picture is his skill. he doesn’t make assumptions, he looks at every angle and simply starts with the most probable one.

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

  • Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)
  • Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)
  • Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

  • Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)
  • Psycho (short for psychic)
  • Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

"Psycho" to mean "someone with psychokinesis" has been an anime thing since the 70s so I knew that one but the meaning of "Mob" really never crossed my mind. I thought it was just his name for no reason at all.
