Korra s1 || I just disliked the start of it. I usually dislike modernization which feels off in the series and for korra it kinda did for me ||

I forgot most BB stuff

[sonic tree]

Me and my brother accidentally skipped that episode when we first watched breaking bad

[brave orbit]

And nothing changed

[jolly heath]

Did you watch it before continuing on?

Or did you never come back to it until you had completed it

[sonic tree]

We didn't notice until we were almost finished the show I think

[jolly heath]

[sonic tree]

We watched it when we realised

[white smelt]

Fed what happened to you and Pasto

@brave orbit

[brave orbit]

What happened

[white smelt]

You dmed him a call and were in there by yourself for some time

Did you butt dial him?

[brave orbit]

What???

When did that happen

[white smelt]

Yesterday

Check your pings, he pinged you here asking you what you wanted

[brave orbit]

I literally was sleeping wtf

[white smelt]

Maybe change your password 🥴

[sage sleet]

@brave orbit so were you hacked or

[brave orbit]

I have no idea

There is nothing else

[sage sleet]

oh i didn't see the messages literally right above

was weird

[white smelt]

Spooky

[brave orbit]

I think I fell asleep with the phone on and since Discord is now with a stupid UI it started the call

Probably explains why I found it with battery dead

Did you hear something @sage sleet

If you joined

idk

[sage sleet]

nah i didn't join lol

was weird bc it started as a message request n when i accepted you were in the call for like 8 min

and if nobody joins a priv voice call after 5 min or so it disconnects you

and last i checked you were nearly at 30 min

so yeah def change your password just in case

[brave orbit]

It says it lasted a hour

idek

[north sun]

It was me I am the hacker

[sage sleet]

turn yourself in

[brave orbit]

Is that why the script I was writing turned bad

Damn

[north sun]

I await you in Valhalla

[brave orbit]

Valhalla is as real as God

Don't think you will await me there

@north sun You finished ROW?

[north sun]

Haven’t even started it yet

[brave orbit]

Did you finish Dawnshard at least

[north sun]

Never read that one either

I might read them when book 5 is announced

It's just an insane design, looks like he made the movie

Looking at the remaining movies this year i only want to see about 5 of them

and only 2 of them come to theaters

[coarse flower]

yeah,it does

but also his name sells better

[crimson lance]

[brave orbit]

Idk like a lot

[modern lichen]

thousands of years

[modern lichen]

its set in the age before the age lord of the rings and the hobbit is set in

the show takes place in the second age, the hobbit and lotr are set in the end of the third age

[dim hedge]

After finishing got s3 i can confidently say it’s my favourite show || I don’t think i have ever cried whilst watching a show as i did during the wedding, everyone was happy THEY WERE GONNA NAME THEIR SON NED , i knew that the red wedding was a thing and that robb, his wife and Catelyn were gonna die but nothing prepared me for the moment the rains of castamere started playing , on a happier note i love bronn a lot and tywin sending joffery to bed was the biggest chad move in the series, i love him and jamies moment in the bath was top 3 moments in the series, been loving post hand chop jamie || GAME OF THRONES SEASON 3 END

Next i watch season 4 then read the books and hope they get finished

Rings of Power ep 1 || I honestly think they could’ve spent maybe a little bit more time explaining Margoth and why the elves left middle earth.. It kinda felt like they jumped right in ||

[modern lichen]

Yeah precisely the point

[brave orbit]

Rings of power ep 1 ||bad guy does bad stuff i think||

[outer tulip]

And that’s all you really understand from it tbh lol

[modern lichen]

Rings of Power ep 1 || morgoth is the Lucifer parallel, the highest of angels who rebels against the creator of the universe ||

[trim crown]

Dang it

I still haven't seen it

And I can't participate in this convo

[modern lichen]

Rings of Power ep 1 || he is original dark lord and the master of Sauron who rose to be dark lord and this show essentially is his story along with the forging of the rings ||

[trim crown]

But yeah, Tolkien fans are self righteous circlejerkers

[outer tulip]

Ring of Power || yeah I know that much of it but only from before… I don’t remember them really giving much background. Only that Sauron was his lieutenant ||

[brave orbit]

ROP ep 1 ||All the stuff about evilness in here comes off as so outdated, idk if it's just me ||

[trim crown]

I couldn't resist and read your comments

[trim crown]

||It does come off as outdated because Tolkien was really adamant about absolute evil and absolute good. He take a lot of his inspiration from the Christian religion for arda's moral grounds. There is no grey areas between the good and the evil. This why it comes off as outdated IMO|| ROP

I think, haven't seen the series yet

[brave orbit]

||Yea but i think its also because the characters are a bit more flawed here so talking about evilness etc comes off meh|| ROP

[trim crown]

||idk, maybe it comes down to the mythology of Arda, the beginning of times etc. Basically what harsh said about morgoth being lucifer, the rebel. So while the people of the middle earth can be flawed, the greater beings are not, and they are either good or evil|| rop

But adulthood shouldn't take like 500 years the race would die out from babyism at that point

Major Bojack Horseman spoilers

||Bojack's ultimate mantra of "nothing in life matters, but because nothing matters it's important to find things that matter to us" is in my opinion a crutch towards responsibility and allows one to avoid true reflection when analyzing the position of self from a negative place. It is both not nihilism because it goes full circle and gives the characters a meaning in life (which is to have a meaning basically), and nihilism because it fails to provide an actual explanation of what "finding what matters to us" means. Like, though I related to Bojack's character at times, and part of me enjoyed that his acquaintances distanced themselves during the conclusion... it almost felt like an absolution of blame? in a sense.||

||This circles back to my evaluation of the philosophical paradigm of the show, but Bojack's concrete resolutions with the rest of the main cast (sans hollyhock) felt like the writers forcing the issue because their show got cancelled or something. Because there's a finality to the relationships he had, I struggle to think he'll learn from them in the future given he's someone who learned exclusively from tragedy in the past rather than his own actions. As such I can't imagine he'll actually "find that meaning" I was talking about earlier and will continue his vicious cycle until death. This was especially apparent in that final episode as he's having a comedic time in a max-security prison directing plays (low consequence), only to further throw himself into his fame addiction once again and repeat his actions. TO THIS EXTENT the series is nihilistic because it doesn't actually offer a sense of meaning outside of the meandering "meaning" that Bojack will continue to chase with his new relationships and experiences, and as is precedent from his prior behavior I see no reason this will resolve.||

||I wouldn't have a problem with this conclusion if the series was trying to be nihilistic, but the "sometimes life's a bitch and you keep on living" line that comes right at the end soured my hopes that it was and proved that ultimately it was an exercise in bleak motivational droll. I really wonder what the show could have been with a much slower 6th season and 2/3 more seasons of relationship building. ||

It’s basically up to the writer at the time but kryptonians are essentially just humans in their solar system (red sun). They change their physiology when under the light of our sun and that’s what has then aging slowly or whatever.

[lone bay]

Major Bojack Horseman spoilers

|| ok i see what you mean now, but i disagree on a fundamental point.
i personally never saw bojack as someone who's going to get a redemption at any point, or someone that anyone should relate to (although i def related to some aspects). bojack exists there as a showcase of what would happen if someone got away with all he did, and how the circumstances of his life - from childhood to having a boatload of money to enable his shenanigans - further influence that. it's basically an extreme what if scenario.
and tbh, i don't think he would ever learn, he will always be the same person because a lifetime of issues like his isnt something you could fix most of the time. like in that final scene on the roof, he kept leaning towards diane in which i assume was him contemplating going for a kiss/hug. he never learned and never will, he just perpetually exists in this vicious cycle. ||

|| >it almost felt like an absolution of blame? ||
|| im not sure if you mean bojack or the people that distanced themselves from him here. or maybe it's smth else but i still dont get it ||

Major Bojack Horseman spoilers

|| as for the message of the show in the conclusion, i think youre just not part of the target demographic for that message. at least that's what this "an exercise in bleak motivational droll" tells me, which is accurate.
i think other than shining the spotlight on toxic characteristics all manifested in bojack , the show is aiming its message about life at people that had already gone past the point of finding any meaning. idk if you remember this but there was a scene when bojack crashes a party and talks to lady crying in the bathroom, he tells her that everyone manages somehow at the end. that's the level of lifeline the target demo is looking for, people that would just like to manage, at least that's what i see in it.

same goes for this "a crutch towards responsibility and allows one to avoid true reflection when analyzing the position of self from a negative place, which again is accurate. other than the issue of whether it's a good message to send to people or not, being manipulated into finding a meaning in life by accepting that there's no meaning is an effective strategy.

other than that, the other characters escaping bojack is the message for those that need it. every one of the million toxic and manipulative traits he shows affects someone in the show, so i think showcasing said traits and how to escape them is the other message for the other viewers. and ive herad stories of it being genuinely effective from acquaintances. ||

|| and as a side note on nihilism itself, i think the show does a good job of showcasing the underlying irony of the philosophy. even the most pessimistic of nihilists still live and find some fulfillment/purpose. so something like diane's character arc for example was good, and it's what leads into her conclusion of life's a bitch then you live. ||

at least this was perserved

ffs

It's so popular in my country that EVERYONE in there knows it, and when I say everyone, I mean literally everyone

[sage remnant]

House of the Dragon || man GoT theme is just so good ||

[mild seal]

Goof

[sage remnant]

House of The Dragon ep 1 || man this was the most fulfilling part of the episode for me. Her being the queen was the great part on its own but reference (prophecy) of the Winter and name drop was fulfilling in the sense as it reminded me of the great parts of GOT show and how great this world was/is. ||

House of the Dragon/GoT question || Is the city more prosperous in the time of HotD than it was in Baratheon's reign? We later see and hear that the city is slowly detiorating (forgot what term they exactly used) from what it was before Viserys's rise into throne but yea.
It looks old compared to the city during Robert Baratheon's time but looks more prosperous? ||

[modern lichen]

hotd/got ||king's landing in game of thrones is so much bigger but westeros entered its golden age during the reign of jaeherys and viserys who we see in the show||

[sage remnant]

Ah

[modern lichen]

hotd/got ||by the time we get to game of thrones, robert is far into his rule of westeros and the seven kingdoms are in debt||

[sage remnant]

Ah yeah.

Hotd|| Man Matt Smith is looking so great in his role ||

[modern lichen]

hotd/got ||robert's rebellion happened due to a lot of factors but the kingdom were then already in decline||

[sage remnant]

HoTD/GoT|| yeah I just remembered that line from the show that "Robert was a great fighter but a bad king" or smth along the lines of that regarding that. ||

[modern lichen]

hotd/got ||yeah, robert was one of the greatest warriors westeros has ever seen, no doubt but he didnt want to be king at all and spent most of his time being debaucherous||

hotd/got ||viserys is also a guy who doesnt look suitable to be a king, but he naturally is a good man at heart and has the charisma to pull people in||

[sage remnant]

Hotd/got || one nitpick/gripe I had with GoT was how context for the all the crazy shit that started was given after it had started to take place (unless I am forgetting some events).
Liking Hotd's approach as it feels like its taking its time setting stuff up properly(?)

But it already feels heavy in tone than how GoT's first episode was ||

[modern lichen]

got ||game of thrones starts in the aftermath of the major events of robert's rebellion||

[sage remnant]

Yeah. || Unless I remember wrong. We were fed context of it and its effects slowly after Robert had died? At least most of it. || GoT

[modern lichen]

hotd/got ||this chronicles the entire story of the war of succession after viserys 2, that has the context of robert's rebellion already happening and this comes in the aftermath of that and basically tells the story of how the events of this series changed westeros forever||

hotd/got ||we were told a lot by robert himself in the very first episode||

[sage remnant]

Ig some of that flew over my head when I was watching it.

Also

hotd || do you think we will in some way get more info of during Aegon's conquest in this series? ||

[modern lichen]

Maybe

HotD || we already saw that Aegon's dragon dream was called Song of Ice and Fire ||

[sage remnant]

Yea

[modern lichen]

HotD/ASOIAF || this part wasn't in the books nor in any other place so this must be the origin of that title that Martin himself must've suggested to the showrunners ||

[sage remnant]

Oh

I've been trying to grab the Bone comics for days now but I didn't wanna read it without color

Cobra Kai season 5 will be on metflix on september 9

Don't watch the trailer tho

Is another Netflix trailer full of spoilers

[broken fossil]

how is paddington 2 one of the highest rated movies on rotten tomatoes

wtf happens in this movie, i gotta watch it now

[cunning spruce]

It's really cute

[broken fossil]

i actually liked the cartoon when i was younger, the live action just seemed weird to me idk

[young compass]

Nothing happens

It’s basically a Pixar film in live action

Which is why it has such a high rating

[broken fossil]

lol but why 2 over 1

im just curious now

[young compass]

It’s better idk lol

[broken fossil]

seems so random you have all these legendary movies on top

and paddington 2

lol

[brave orbit]

My guy people have been review bombing it from before it came out

[north sun]

Just a meme, I haven’t even watched it

[young compass]

Why are people review bombing it

[brave orbit]

People of colour in LOTR

[young compass]

Ah, “politics”

[brave orbit]

Yup

[broken fossil]

[young compass]

Bojack

||While Bojack is obviously a reprehensible human, and s5 serves as a monument to that, the watcher is given opportunities to relate to him and his struggle through his self reflection. I’m not saying he was written to be a self insert or whatever, but that he’s toxic person with redeeming factors that you sort of kind of root for sometimes because you’ve seen yourself act in similar ways. Regardless, that’s independent of my actual problems with the show.||

||When I say absolution of blame, I mean that Bojack’s final conclusions with his friends gave him a sense of finality that he A. wasn’t entitled to and B. prevented him from directly acknowledging how his actions affected other people. A world in which the show builds up to everyone abandoning him a la Hollyhock, maybe besides MrPB, only for him to then be in this position again would be IMO more hopeful and supportive of the general “sometimes life sucks and you just keep going” mantra. ||

[sonic quail]

Juba i just wanna say im enjoying reading what ur saying

[pale hawk]

Beowulf is so cool

[young compass]

More Bojack

||I probably am not part of the target demographic I guess? But I’d say that’s only because I’ve read/watched so much media with similar messages. Do you mean that the target demographic is the personification of the crying lady in that bathroom? I think the message was a little broader than that.

It can be an effective strategy but, while anecdotal (and tbh an anecdotal experience with something is fine in this case as it’s literally just my interpretation of a show), I have never seen it work out in the long run for someone. I consider it to be in the same tier as “faking it till you make it”, along with intense religious worship to fill a void. Once again I want to emphasize that while there’s nothing wrong with a character like this existing as a nihilist, it almost feels the show tried to have its cake and eat it too. They pump the flippant motivational speak as the end message as to attempt to speak towards a future hope one should have, while still ending up nihilist; it’s a comfortable and catering philosophy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely happy with them for leaving Bojack’s life, I just wish they had done it quicker and more abruptly. It’s explained up above but essentially because I feel he won’t learn like this.

Right and I get that, Diane I think is obviously more stable than Bojack but still has her myriad of issues and her mostly moving past them (as far as we can tell) was more earned. But even with her I felt a lack of positive acknowledgement of actions and a sense of absolution again; she did some fucked up shit that I don’t think she acknowledged.

Ultimately, my interpretation of the show relies on
A. That I believe it to be ultimately nihilistic
and
B. That I dislike nihilistic conclusions.
So given that those two reasons are entirely subjective I really don’t mean to undermine what other people got out of the series as it’s entirely their prerogative. I still couldn’t shake these feelings, though

King shit

[feral kettle]

do i have a problem

[crimson lance]

Yes but I'll ignore it

[young compass]

I read this as “Juba I wanna say I’m enjoying reading what you’re saying (but)” and got scared that I was just utterly wrong somewhere in here lmao

[young compass]

I can offer therapy

[feral kettle]

I watched it for the first time 3 days ago

2

[crimson lance]

thats like 20 hours of synde

insane

[sonic quail]

Nope. I have no input just enjoying the analysis. You should make video essays

[young compass]

I thank you but on the off chance my video essays got any views I’d became such an unbearable self-important asshole that I’m scared to even attempt

Morj 2

[crimson lance]

100 views on youtube will change you

[feral kettle]

i watched bvs and man of steel the day before

[sonic quail]

This is exactly how morj makes me feel lmaoo

Yea no i feel u tho

Might also just ruin something u enjoy doing as well

[crimson lance]

kinda want to watch man of steel because i havent seen it since it came out, but i rember disliking it even as a child so whats the point

[feral kettle]

Man of steel is the worst snyder dc

There are really good scenes in it but overall it ends up being ok

doesnt need to be 150 minutes

[shadow sequoia]

Man of Steel ||You don't really cool as CGI borderline Dragonball fights irl? Smh||

[crimson lance]

that's nearly 9 hours of synder without rewatching league

you're insane

[young compass]

Yeah it’s the same for a lot of those “make your hobby a HUSSLE” people, I’d just lose joy

[crimson lance]

You could of spent those 9 hours watching Sergio Leone's Dollar "triology"

[young compass]

Man of steel being 150 minutes of nothing is still hilarious to me

[shadow sequoia]

[young compass]

I saw it in theaters with a friend without knowing the runtime

And we just kept laughing at how long it was fucking going

[feral kettle]

its over 9 hours

i watched the 3 hour cut of bvs

[shadow sequoia]

Sucks too because I still want a good live action Superman movie

But no one seems to understand the guy or how to write him

[feral kettle]

he has 2 good movies that are not solos 🥱

[crimson lance]

The first Christopher reeves one is good apparently

[shadow sequoia]

There's always the Christopher Reeve movies

Yeah

[young compass]

Just adapt one of the 50 million Superman dies comics and turn him into a martyr

[crimson lance]

but then it got fucked by the studio for the second one lol

[feral kettle]

i have to watch those old ones

[crimson lance]

have you ever read about the failed nick cage superman

[feral kettle]

I need that

[young compass]

Lmao no

[feral kettle]

love nick cage

[crimson lance]

the director wanted it to end with a giant spider fight, and for him to have like 0 superman powers

the guy was insane

[shadow sequoia]

LOL

I remember hearing about that

[crimson lance]

https://superman.fandom.com/wiki/Superman_Lives

this documents it all

[leaden depot]

All Star Superman

[crimson lance]

it went through several directors before finally dyin

[shadow sequoia]

I would've paid to see it but we ended up getting a movie entirely about Nick Cage anyways

[young compass]

Oh my god Tim burton?

[crimson lance]

nick cage looks sick in that photo

[young compass]

He does not LOL

[shadow sequoia]

Man needs some milk

[crimson lance]

he was pretty good looking when he was young but he looks like he's all pink here

[crimson lance]

i just chose cat people beacuse it looked strange and short

[feral kettle]

no i want to see actors heads stacked on each other

[crimson lance]

they can paint the actors

having this poster in my room has made me unable to like any poster that isnt painted

[leaden depot]

Yeah I fucking miss good ol painted movie posters

[crimson lance]

this is another painted one i really like

this is literally floating heads but so much nicer

[inland prawn]

Tintin is an underrated series.

[young compass]

tintin is very cool but my desire to check out more of it is impeded by the ethos of the author

I know "separate the artist" and all that but I simply can't get past it in this case

[barren temple]

Primal s2 ep8 || this pharoah woman is no joke lol. I like how she's the first enemy we've seen in the series that actually does bad out of flawed morality, because everyone we've seen so far in the series has only been trying to survive or feed their families. She might be the first actually evil antagonist so far. ||

[inland prawn]

What Herge did in ‘44 was indeed in unforgivable, but I think on Tintins case, the content is thankfully unrelated to the ideologies Herge was alleged to have supported.

[young compass]

it's definitely unrelated but I feel like this with disney films a lot of the time as well, just icky

[leaden depot]

The Star Wars one is just legendary

[white smelt]

Anyone watch rings of poder?

[dim hedge]

yeay

[copper phoenix]

ep1 is good

[white smelt]

Didn’t 2 come out as well

Are you saying 2 was not good?

[copper phoenix]

idk I just finished watching ep1

[white smelt]

I’ll watch em tomorrow

[glacial jetty]

she hulk ep 3 is really good

[mild seal]

I need to watch ep 3

[white smelt]

She hulk e3 ||Dude the wrecking crew looks so hilariously bad lmao||

[glacial jetty]

shehulk ep 3 ||i like that its not taking itself too serious and the meta humor is good too. that bit with all the internet complaints about she hulk was hilarious, probably copy and pasted straight from actual complaints . also "thor's inspirational speeches are not admissible in court" lmaooo||

[copper phoenix]

she hulk ep 3 || I only know about wolverine mention and the twerking meme ||

[white smelt]

Wait when did that first one happen

[copper phoenix]

it was some easter egg or something

I don't watch she hulk I just see stuff online

[sage remnant]

She Hulk || Apparently in a news website or smth that they were browsing in the show ||

Saw on twitter during ep 2 I think

[glacial jetty]

she hulk || it was just a background headlien article in a single shot or smth. "man with metal claws in bar fight" or something like that||

[glacial jetty]

she hulk ep3 ||are they like a major group in the comics or something?||

||they just look like a bunch of twerps||

[white smelt]

Yeah

She-Hulk/Marvel Comics ||I forget their actual names aside from one but his name is wrecker and he can turn into whatever substance he touches. So like if he were to touch Thor’s hammer or adamantite, he would turn his body and mess things up. They are cool villains as brainless mooks who cause a lot of trouble so it’s kinda silly seeing them as a bunch of nobodies ||

[glacial jetty]

maybe in the future then

[white smelt]

Wait I’m totally wrong lmfao

Dark Ark #7 cover

[modern lichen]

cant stop thinking about rings of power

[white smelt]

Is it good?

Will watch it tomorrow 😎

[modern lichen]

the first episode is a bit slow paced but the spectacle will sweep you up

the second episode is far more fast paced

the show is just incredible to look at

[copper phoenix]

I think I saw people complaining it's too slow

thats kinda weird

who is gonna watch anything lotr related expecting shit to go guns blazing in the first 5 minutes

[modern lichen]

yeah the first episode is on the slower side but they're building up on it slowly

[copper phoenix]

gonna watch ep 2 later

rings of power || is it true they can't show morgoth because amazon doesn't have the rights? ||

[burnt lake]

Dark Ark #8 cover

[modern lichen]

i actually enjoy the slower pace, its a granular story

that sweeps you up as it goes

[modern lichen]

rings of power ||yeah they cant show morgoth||

[copper phoenix]

kinda funny how embracer just owns everything now but amazon wasn't able to get the rights for some things

how tf did that happen

money certainly wasn't the issue

[modern lichen]

rings of power ||tbf the show is set completely after the war and is telling the story of sauron's influence corrupting the world and the forging of the rings||

[mild seal]

She hulk ep3 ||man everyone hating on this show is stupid, Jennifer and Megan thee stallion fucking twerking lol||

She hulk ep3 ||I also like that the show itself leans into the sexist comments people were gonna write no matter what and incorporated it into the story||

5 more issues and I'm done with this and there's a sequel after

[mild seal]

If you block him he won't show up on your feed

[burnt lake]

On the last issue of Dark Ark

Dark Ark #15 (END) cover

[dim hedge]

[burnt lake]

pretty sick story ngl

Dark Ark (END) ||During Noah's Ark times, God has flooded earth and an ancient evil deity has tasked Shrae, a sorcerer, with building a similar ark for all the evil creatures in the world, only for there to be mutinies, gargantuan creatures that were physical manifestations of the old gods, and The Fallen (who are fallen angels who were sent to earth to suffer for seeking a higher power and god was not a fan of the lustfulness of these power-hungry angels)||

[dim hedge]

Oh dang

[feral kettle]

@modern lichen Man jaws was amazing in theaters

Im really pessimistic when it comes to like mainstream classic films but this blew away my expectations

[modern lichen]

[feral kettle]

Jaws ||also something really surprising the kid dying actually mad me almost tear up||

I think im being de-desensitized to violence in media

[modern lichen]

Jaws || Robert Shaw as Quint is a force of nature ||

[feral kettle]

Jaws ||also obviously the score and cinematography was amazing, but every jumpscare got me lol||

[modern lichen]

Jaws || every single kill is just so hard to parse, it's just innocent people trying to have a good time ||

My dude John Williams with the score

[feral kettle]

actually such an amazing film

did not expect to like it as much as i did

[modern lichen]

Titans goes to shit after the first season imo

technically after the 1st episode of the 2nd season since that was supposed to be the season finale

[daring cove]

ohh I didnt know that

[mild seal]

Titans ||yeah the Trigon fight was supposed to be the season finale and I don't remember why it got delayed, probably CGI or some shit||

[feral kettle]

i still need to see this movie

😭

its like the only nolan film i have genuine interest in

besides maybe the dark knight

[mild seal]

I enjoyed it

idk if this is a spoiler but I'll put it in spoilers anyways

Interstellar ||I understood the theory of relativity because of that movie||

[daring cove]

Titans ||yeah it was probably budget constraints. But looking at how bad it was in season 2 and now in season 3 it seems like 90% of the budget went into the costumes||

[daring cove]

At some point I wish that DC was aquired by Disney, so we would get some good shit

I mean in terms of live-action series

the cartoons are great

[mild seal]

DC just needs 1 person like Kevin Feige working in the background

and actually take their time to develop their characters

DC skipped a few steps and went straight into JL instead of each member having their own movie where they could be fleshed out

Justice League War ||Imagine if they did solo movies for each JL member and then in an after credits scene they show mother boxes appearing and fucking shit up which ultimately leads into something like the Justice League War story and they officially become the Justice League||

[feral kettle]

yea zack snyder💯

at this point i dont think DC needs a cinematic universe

just have different auteurs have their own universe and give them control

rn its james gunn and matt reeves

unfortunately not snyder

[mild seal]

I feel like Zack Snyder would rather make movies than be a producer like Kevin

[feral kettle]

Yea

wouldve liked to see him direct his own 5 movie arc

[daring cove]

Trueee!! I wish they gave Ben Afleck‘s Batman his own movie

But then again I am kinda tired of seeing Batman‘s origin story and how Gotham is going to shit in every reincarnation. Wasn‘t even that big a fan of the recent Batman movie. It‘s a good movie, but as a DC fan I feel like you get tired of the edgy, broody superhero trope.

[feral kettle]

Batfleck movie def would not have been an origin

[daring cove]

true

[feral kettle]

i wish it came into fruition

[daring cove]

I think his was actually my favourite Batman portrayal so far.

[feral kettle]

its tough for me

i love pattinson

but in the past week ive become a snyderverse stan

Absolutely love affleck batman

I think I’ll agree with you for now until The Batman 2 sways my view

[daring cove]

Pattinson was great, but it gave me nothing out of what I expected.

But wait, I think I am doing a disservice to the Norton movies

[feral kettle]

hes in batman?

[daring cove]

who?

[feral kettle]

ed norton ?

[mild seal]

I think he means nolan

[daring cove]

oh fuck me lol

yeah messed up the names

[feral kettle]

i still havent seen the nolan films

i promised a classmate i would lol

[daring cove]

Dark Knight is a classic

[crimson lance]

im seeing it tomorrow

[daring cove]

for Heath Ledger alone

was kinda shocked back then, when I found out afterwards that the Joker was played by him

[feral kettle]

only reason iwant to watch the films

[sage sleet]

did i miss titans talk

[mild seal]

yes

not much though

[sage sleet]

kms

ah

[feral kettle]

lol ive grown to like jared letos joker but only for one scene

that isnt in suicide squad

[crimson lance]

synder bros

[sage sleet]

love how people went ballistic when WB new CEO said he wanted a more structured universe like marvel as if universes haven't been a thing

[feral kettle]

yep

[sage sleet]

i don't mind jared leto's joker at least the one from the snyder cut

[daring cove]

he was incredible. Nobody imagined that he would thrive in the role like he did

[mild seal]

honestly I was one of those people

[sage sleet]

huh

[mild seal]

that thought ledger was a terrible casting choice

[sage sleet]

ah i see

didn't know who they were til i watched the movie

i'm neutral on them like they did good but i'm not one of those people that's like HEATH DID IT THAT FRAME AT 12:04:122243 WHERE HE TOOK A BREATH WAS ORGASMIC

he did good that's all ik

[mild seal]

now I wanna go to the 12min mark of the movie and see what it is

even though I know that was just a random number lol

[sage sleet]

now i'm afraid to see what it is

[feral kettle]

it probably doesnt even have him in it

[sage sleet]

man i hope black adam is good

[feral kettle]

doesnt look like it

tbh

[crimson lance]

why would it be good, the rock is in it

[sage sleet]

parts look good but overall sumn feels off

[feral kettle]

i read this as wouldnt

[crimson lance]

the only good thing about black adam is they had a kanye song in the trailer

[feral kettle]

the last time the rock was good was in his fast and furious debut

he fell off

[crimson lance]

for that, i give them 4 stars on letterboxd

[mild seal]

the rock is in elvis??????????

[sage sleet]

Dwayne Johnson as Elvis

he was elvis

[daring cove]

you forgot about Be Cool!!

[sage sleet]

ok i actually liked dc superpets

saw it last week or so

[crimson lance]

cubena

[daring cove]

gay the Rock was dope

[sage sleet]

very family movie but more humor than i expected wasn't just childish

[outer tulip]

everytime I see that movie come up I think of that mr sunshine song

[mild seal]

the dark knight ||its just alfred going into the batcave||

[sage sleet]

||alfred is joker...|| the dark knight

[crimson lance]

this actor did not exist until this poster came out

he's fake, artificial

[feral kettle]

isnt he the green knight

or is that ralph ineson

same person to me

[mild seal]

joel edgerton is in a lot of movies

[feral kettle]

Oh i didnt know sigourney weaver was in the fiom

film

[mild seal]

I liked him in Warrior

[daring cove]

Green Knight sound like a great movie idea. Joker being the Batman

[crimson lance]

👎

no

green knight is about Arthurian legend

[daring cove]

oh dang lol

[mild seal]

yeah I read about that legend and I thought it would make for a boring movie

[crimson lance]

it didn

[magic bloom]

Watched the Fantastic beast movies. Not thrilled

They’re such a miss it’s actually crazy that they fumbled so hard on them

[brave orbit]

Were they fantastic

[magic bloom]

Hell no

[regal root]

Were they beastly?

[magic bloom]

Fantastic beasts trilogy || there’s barely any fantastic beasts outside of the first one. It just devolves into Grindenwald prequel which nobody really cares about. Should’ve just made those their own movies without having Newt Scamanander, a zoologist, be part of the entire thing. Same era? Sure but there was so much that the writers could’ve done with a movie called FANTASTIC BEASTS and WHERE TO FIND THEM. Actually show the FANTASTIC BEASTS, maybe even travel the world to different wizard schools. We don’t even see Newts briefcase ||

[mild seal]

Rob what you said is even funnier when you realize they're written by JK Rowling

and it wasn't adapted by another writer

[magic bloom]

[white smelt]

There’s three of them???

[mild seal]

yup

JK Rowling was planning on making 5

doubt it'll happen

[magic bloom]

Actually fumbling da bag

[white smelt]

Dude I’m watching the HP movies for the first time and they are NOT good

🥴

[mild seal]

fantastic beasts ||if JK Rowling wanted to make movies about Dumbledore and Grindelwald she should have just done that instead of naming them fantastic beasts and adding newt into that shit||

have you read the books wanze?

[white smelt]

Nope

[mild seal]

well I can say they're at least better than the movies

[sage sleet]

idk dude i watched em like 2 years ago again n i just didn't enjoy them. Like everyone says they're sumn else but it was just shit slowly piecing together and even then i was like ok ig

i even tried to give fantasic beasts a try

potential sorta but fell flat

ill watch the latest one

[white smelt]

Yeah they’re like cobbled together loosely. Maybe the books are more coherent by virtue of being longer and being able to explain stuff but these movies are going at break neck speeds and barely functioning.

Also Radcliffe is a terrible actor (as a teen, maybe he gets better as he ages)

[brave orbit]

L

[white smelt]

Typical

[outer tulip]

I've never heard anyone not liking Harry Potter movies

im assuming thats what HP stands for.. but if its not than that makes sense

[brave orbit]

It is

[outer tulip]

word than idk

growing up there were two types of people

those who liked harry potter... and those who couldn't watch it for religious purposes

[white smelt]

Have you seen them recently?

[outer tulip]

like rewatched them?

[white smelt]

Sure, or for the first time. I don’t know your history with them

[outer tulip]

I think I rewatched one of them recently.. I think maybe Order of The Pheonix

just cause it was on

[brave orbit]

Just the soundtrack alone makes them good

Then the world is one of the best portal fantasies

[white smelt]

Lol

[brave orbit]

JKR we don't talk about

[outer tulip]

def not

Ig if you're watching HP for the first time as an adult its nothing special

[brave orbit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htaj3o3JD8I&ab_channel=Yume

[outer tulip]

omg!

[brave orbit]

It has the perfect mix of child-like wonder, mystique and magic

It's so good

[outer tulip]

soo good

it was like hype music when it came on in the theaters

[brave orbit]

God I love John Williams

[outer tulip]

if he did other stuff like than me freakin too

[brave orbit]

Basically all his tracks are iconic

[outer tulip]

anything I would recognize?

[brave orbit]

Star Wars, Harry Potter, literally every Spielberg movie (ET, Jurassic Park, etc.)

[outer tulip]

Stoppp

those are incredible soundtracks though

[brave orbit]
