Is this "has seen" or "is really into"?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Either. Heck "follows written instructions" qualifies. I'll give ya a bonus point for "requesting clarification of ambiguities", nerd.

Yes, also transformers the toys or the movies? I loved the toys as a kid and would love those toys still today. I lost interest in the movies after the first.

Edit: Oh, and I really liked the cartoons, especially Beast Wars.

Can I get an extra box for "Doctor Who should never be written with Doctor abbreviated?"

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I checked too many boxes. I guess nerdiness runs deep in me.

But they were all of them deceived, for another checkbox was made.

Adding additional boxes is in itself a secret extra box that you have to check now.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Well, I’ve already checked a few so one more can’t hurt.

No early German expressionist cinema?

If we need to ask whether something belongs on this list, the answer is yes.

Except Babylon 5. For Babylon 5, the answer is a new language concept called a triple-yes.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

A friend of mine got fired from his old job by telling his boss that Babylon 5 was a big pile of sh*te.

And if you're a nerd, you'll know that that wasn't actually a friend of mine, but Tim Biseley, one of the protagonists of turn of the century TV show Spaced, played by Simon Pegg.

but you told me to check the boxes! i'm a nerd for following instructions now?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Correct, nerd.

TTRPGs are for jocks.

Um ahkshually this is a comic community and many of these franchises did not start as comic franchises and therefore don't belong on a list in this community. You're not a real comic book nerd unless your checklist begins and ends with Watchmen.

Boomer as fuck.
