The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No. It's not about having a single negative opinion, it's about having nothing but negative opinions.
Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.
What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?
Although mainstream media might be worse, there are stil lots of movies and series that are pretty high quality being released every year.
What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn't meant to be read as sarcastic, I'm being completely sincere I would like recommendations.
I'm not going to lie I just don't trust non-indie series any more. I can't trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.
Movies: Marcel the shell with shoes on, the worst person in the world, past lives, aftersun, everything everywhere all at once, the banshees of inisherin, licorice pizza, beau is afraid and I'm surely forgetting several others.
For recent series, I can recommend: Severance, Atlanta, Scavengers reign, Fleishman is in trouble
Want something really weird?
Landscaping with invisible hand
Maybe this is too blunt but that looks like crap and has poor reviews. I have way too many movies to watch so I don't think I'll waste my time with that one.
Oh i said weird, not good.
It's a trip of a movie that feels like it might end up a cult classic eventually.
Beautiful take on art in the industry with a blunt heavy handed approach to it's metaphor and comedy. Like it's performing surgery with a hatchet. It's definitely something different is all I'm saying and didn't hate myself for watching it.
Edit: I mentioned it cause you said you watched Beau is Afraid.
Godzilla Minus One!
Then there's Ghibli's latest, The Boy & The Heron.
Not really interested in godzilla and I didn't like the boy & the heron :(. The end credits song is a banger though.
