“How I spend my leisure time is superior to how you spend your leisure time.”
As though trash books and thought-provoking television don’t exist.
Edit: oh wait… I see the actual joke. Thought-provoking television indeed.
They are saying one uses imagination and the other doesn’t.
My original point is that either can engage the imagination, but that point is overshadowed by the jar.
Both kinda do though because at first i couldn’t imagine what the boy is watching, but after i saw that video for myself not a day goes by without imagining it.
Well that’s definitely a whole other level to the image. Kinda gross, kinda inspiring. I think I hate-love it now.
Heh…yeah…that sound of the jar breaking will haunt me for the rest of my days.
Thank you. I was having trouble identifying the shadow of the tv.
Tv can lead to imagination and books can leave no lasting impression.
However in recent years I’ve taken more to books because video programmes seem to be getting dumber.
I’ve just stopped watching anything coming out of sloppywood. I’d rather support small content creators.
I can do both.
As an artist, a good movie or videogame can get my mind racing with cool ideas to draw or model.

Unless you have aphantasia, in which case books are either just text or very limited images.
Science fiction is one genre that just doesn’t translate well to the screen. The ideas are too big for a budget and too alien to be adequately depicted. I’m grateful that one man is capable of making twenty hours worth of content in less than a year; it’s more sustainable than millions of dollars being spent on two hours of entertainment.
Science fiction is one genre that just doesn’t translate well to the screen.
60 years Star Trek of puts the lie to this statement.
Star Trek is on the softer side of science fiction. It’s just a sitcom in space. When you watch most series based on books (i.e The expanse), major changes need to be made because it doesn’t translate well to the screen.
Using the expanse as an example, the spacers were supposed to be deformed by our standards. They eliminated all the hard sci-fi elements of their appearance. If a book involves a realistic alien civilization, an adaptation is rarely made
Looking at TWO of the longest running franchises… both of them are sci-fi.
What a ridiculous conclusion.
I completely agree with you with the caveat that on rare occasions it can. I am personally very excited to see what directer Denis Villeneuve will do with Rendevous With Rama. That book is almost begging for a faithful screen adaptation since so much of it is describing the scale and layout of the inside of the O’Neill cylinder. I say this as someone who is known in my friendgroup for always hating adaptations and reboots, etc.
Ah, a relic of the late stage of this meme format where hardly anyone remembered what the “POV” stands for.
Good thing it effectively died soon after
…and the jar breaks… oO
Missing another kid farther to the left watching Andrew Tate on his phone.
Oof.

Yeah, and it’s about to be 2 deep 4 him.
I’m 14 and this is so deep fr
E: I agree though that when a book clicks it paints a picture far more vivid than a screen ever could.
How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t
I used to get so mad when I’d see a book get made into a movie or picture book and it was always a very realistic interpretations of the world and in my head it was far more extreme and colorful. I remember seeing the drawings for ‘a far away tree’ and thinking wtf it’s not just a regular tree it’s supposed to be magical.
Too deep, without a safe recovery plan in case of failure.
What is the TV’s shadow? It seems like a pair of legs standing on a box and a small floating rectangle.
The book, meanwhile, looks like a convoluted mess. Crashing spaceship, T-Rex/Godzilla, and what might be Dracula’s castle. If there’s a coherent story in this, I have got to read it. Book title? :P
The TV’s shadow has been edited to a still from an old shock-gore vid, “1 man 1 jar”. I don’t recommend looking it up.
Book title?
I happen to be reading the Sun Chronicles, a space opera with dinosaurs. No vampires though, but there are weird religious sects, genetically modified humans and space magic 🤷🏼 The best kind of convoluted mess.
Author’s still working on the 3rd volume though.
What is the TV’s shadow?
Trust me, you don’t want to know
If there was enough light coming from the screen, it wouldn’t look like this. Therefore, we can conclude the guy is looking at a powered off TV.
I think its supposed to be someone about to take a shit into a cup, but I’m really not certain
Keep the innocent, dont find the answer
Both are having fun \o/
Dunno man. TV just seems like plays in the magic frame.
Also things you watch spark the imagination if it’s a good piece of art
your talk about art sparking the imagination tells me you don’t see two legs and a jar in the tv shadow.
…or maybe you do, who am i to judge.
I mean, I wasn’t commenting on what on the wall. More about the perception of the media. But I think you know that.
I agree with the sentiment, I just found it to be a funny context to bring it up in ;)
