[north sun]

GRRM wouldn’t ever take over

It’s not his show

[primal mason]

Um, I like books that researches and explore entertainment mediums. I found a book on pre-order that details the history of webtoons, and that interested me.

like this

[modern lichen]

GoT || have the people of Westeros have to deal with shit internally in S8 and then have the Others dealt with in S9, with everyone coming forth to defend from the long night, since the story itself starts with the Others, it should end with the others ||

[primal mason]

also i guess, love anime/manga that focus on emotional character development/satisfying character arcs the most. so books like that.

[modern lichen]

Emotional character development?

Ok just plain old character dev

[north sun]

I still think ||it ends with Dany… but I also am leaning heavily on the burning of King’s Landing happening before the Others now. Because of the House of the Undying prophecies.|| GoT

[sage remnant]

GoT/ASOIAF || if GRRM would somehow have completed the rest of the books, do you think the show's ending could have been good? As harsh said before about omitting a lot of characters and adding their own plotlines, so will following canon ending work in that case? ||

[modern lichen]

It depends on Winds and Dream

Especially on Winds

That book will define how Dream of Spring really lands

[primal mason]

so that one?

[modern lichen]

Yeah get the webtoons one

[north sun]

It’d be better but ||the end of ASOIAF probably wasn’t ever going to be made for mainstream audiences||

[primal mason]

what's the author name

[modern lichen]

Pikmin, I'm confused lol

What are you referring to here

[primal mason]

winds and dream and dream of spring

[sage remnant]

Those are unreleased books of ASOIAF

[north sun]

Think TWOW ends around S6 of Thrones more or less

[pale tapir]

Jorge Ru Ru Martian

[primal mason]

ooooooohhh

😂

[tender crag]

shit would have made sense if the books were completed

[primal mason]

game of thrones

[modern lichen]

Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring are the names of the remaining books of the Song of Ice and Fire

[crimson lance]

Wasnt last month a flat 50%

[primal mason]

wtf?

i think that's just referring to hardcovers

[crimson lance]

https://bookriot.com/barnes-noble-annual-50-off-sale/ yeah they had one

over now tho

[primal mason]

[sage remnant]

Damn that's expensive af

[modern lichen]

That is expensive af

[crimson lance]

and not out for months

oh kojima didnt even write it

💤

[primal mason]

just looking for books that'll interest me

i probably should post this in games at this point.

[modern lichen]

If you're looking for novels just post whatever you find here then

[primal mason]

is there atuhors you guys trust that'd make you willing to pre-order

[crimson lance]

neil gaiman, andrzej sapkowski, Mary Shelley, like a dozen different mangaka, and thats it

[tender crag]

Grrm lol

[sage remnant]

Joe Abercrombie

[primal mason]

one of those authors isn't alive william

😂

[modern lichen]

Yeah

[crimson lance]

and? if they published something new id buy it

[modern lichen]

Dead authors sell books too

Mary Shelley only has Frankenstein to sell

[crimson lance]

it's not too unusual for an author's work to be discovered after they die and published

altough i doubt that's happening for her

[modern lichen]

Classics are doing very well these days

In terms of sales

[primal mason]

couldn't really find anything

[crimson lance]

Do you just feel like reading or what

[primal mason]

yeh

[crimson lance]

read frankenstein or catcher in the rye

[primal mason]

i'm just looking on twitter for stuff i can pre-order with the promo now

[tender crag]

Has anyone read Malazan

[sage remnant]

Harsh, Archer, Spice

[sage remnant]

Idk how this book is but I know that it is really smutty so might appeal to your ecchi tastes

[primal mason]

how do you know

🤔

[sage remnant]

About being really smutty? Due to being recommended for that reason

You might like this.
Danmei (Chinese name for Boys' love genre), historical fantasy

Only saw vol 4 in the main page. Should be others too ig. The site is so hard to use in phone for me

It has a good manhua adaptation too so you could check that out

[primal mason]

it's on takara site, and also a ln

i could get it cheaper there

[sage remnant]

Ah its on Takara

[primal mason]

like i said, no manga or lns

[sage remnant]

Yeah I thought Takara might not have that for some reason

As in China during its release it wasn't released as one

yes

I don't know where the series is going next. I want to learn more about the ring builders. Super advanced civilisation that got wiped out 2 billion years ago. ||

Season 3 is god tier

[pale tapir]

@modern lichen did ya watch it

[modern lichen]

ah not yet, just a sec

[modern lichen]

watched it, the swinging made me happy

[pale tapir]

[modern lichen]

also, the soundtrack with the 90s spiderman theme

[pale tapir]

The music

Got chills when I saw it earlier today

[modern lichen]

well, now that its not going to happen

[pale tapir]

Actually the creator posted about a month ago and apparently said he's gonna finish it

Idk how

But he said he would lol

[modern lichen]

good luck to him on that

[pale tapir]

This was just the vfx work

So I can appreciate it for that

Good art

[modern lichen]

yeah

[pale tapir]

Same vfx artist who did lotus also did this. It's less clean, but still really decent -- ||https://youtu.be/9Vy5LqGUq88|| Spider-Man no way home spoilers

I should probably watch the Star Wars movies, comics might be cooler though

[trim crown]

Weren't the Jedi supposed to turn on their light sabers only when in need to defend themselves or smth?

[burnt lake]

I got the Luke saga on my drive atm

[marsh patio]

I've only ever trolled on the stupid Gmod roleplays and seen it through family guy

A few other medias too

[trim crown]

bruh lmao

Wait wasn't it the griffins?

That did the star wars specials?

[burnt lake]

ye

[marsh patio]

Yeah

[burnt lake]

ok let's get this shit over with

[trim crown]

Have fun

How much of the critisism that Rop is receiving is actually legit.

?

[copper phoenix]

watch it and decide for yourself

[modern lichen]

hildi watched it already

[copper phoenix]

then the question makes even less sense

[trim crown]

I try not to indulge into the senseless reddit mobbing against the series but what the actual heck, at times it does not seem like a small minority. I stand by my idea that I enjoy Rop and don't find anything majorly wrong with it. But it just seems weird so many people nitpick every single thing about the show.

People even compare Rop to hottd which imo are 2 completely different series that have only one thing in common, the fact that they share a common genre

[copper phoenix]

book purists can be the worst

I've seen this time and time again with adaptations

[burnt lake]

why does this feel like a parody

[copper phoenix]

I mean some changes are outrageous

[trim crown]

What book? They missed 30 pages of content from the silmarilion for the second age and that's it

||They haven't even mentioned numenor|| silmarilion

It's just downright stupid to judge the lore of an adaptation if there is no material to begin with

[copper phoenix]

I didn't read so I have no idea whats missing

I'm just enjoying watching the stuff

[dim hedge]

Yeah they apparently try to cram in as many jokes as possible

[trim crown]

I really enjoy the fact hat there's little to no OC tbh, the writers have a lot of leeway to create something completely new

And the fact that I don't know how the event will develop makes me want to watch it even more

The circlejerk instead goes into full 4head mode MUH LORE

[copper phoenix]

I'm just saying people flip their shit over the smallest non-issue so now I simply ignore that outrage

and from whatI've seen it really seems like really meaningless complaining

[trim crown]

Best thing to do

@sage remnant i am ready to go back into serious fantasy reading

Gonna pick either black company or poppy war

[sage remnant]

I would say Poppy War cuz Idk how much of my appreciation for Black Company is nostalgia-bias lol

[scenic frost]

I have a heard a lot about black company so it has been in PTR for a while

[sage remnant]

It's great from what I remember. Apparently it inspired Malazan

[scenic frost]

Also i am in a good space mentally so can actually read darker stuff for a while

So surprisingly next few stuff i read is probably all gonna be dark-ish

[sage remnant]

Black company is darker than First Law btw. That would be a good comparison point as you have read it

[scenic frost]

Yo whut

That's pretty dark

But eh I'll give it a go

[sage remnant]

Yeah has a slow start btw. So be prepared.

Enjoy

[scenic frost]

Ik stuff like GoT, Malazan has been inspired from black company so really want to at least see what all the hype is about

[burnt lake]

finished Batman Begins

good movie

[sage remnant]

Batman begins || "It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you". ||

[sand cypress]

Now watch the Dark Knight

[lethal canopy]

Anyone seen this trailer? https://youtu.be/sTJfJoaZrCw - it has live action Luffy 😉

Are you aware of what's happening in the 60th

60th anniversary next year

Doctor who 60th || David Tennant, Catherine Tate (Donna Noble) and Bernard Cribbins (Wilfred) will be there ||

[outer tulip]

House of dragons 3 || idk but I was eating when I watched that part and I totally didn’t need to see that ||

[sage remnant]

[brave orbit]

Dr Who ||Common theory is the villain doing shit to fuck up reality and make the 13th Doctor regenerating back into the 10th, then 10th doctor trying to undo it, but we don't know yet ||

Well the regeneration is in October, the 60th is next year

But there will be 3 eps

i think

With the heaven sent director too

[trim crown]

I'm watching the 3rd episode of hottd

Hottd ep 3 ||crabs be like ||

[brave orbit]

Finished rewatching Capaldi's era

I used to somewhat dislike the last S10 episode but rewatching it...

What a fucking masterpiece

Doctor who S10 finale ||The Master and Missy talking are just... wow. Nardole's development is a lot more present than I first noticed. The Masters shooting themselves in the back only to then maniacally laugh together at it in complete silence, as Missy is forced to stare up at the same starless sky as the Doctor without him knowing she fought for him... ||

Doctor who S10 finale ||And Bill's subplot about her reinforcing her identity after she became a Cyberman... fucking great ||

[scenic terrace]

House of dragon episode 3 ||lmao wtf was that battle, it was actually so bad ||

Based spice, per usual

Hotd episode 3 ||the whole surrender scene into dodging like 200 arrows is absolutely ridiculous. And then we aren’t even given the gratification of Daemon killing the Crab Leader on screen. ||

[tender crag]

||too much plot armor, but i dont mind that, it was cool||

korean representation in the west now

[pure robin]

Has anyone read East of West, Saga or Monstress?

[modern lichen]

I've read East of West and Saga, well Saga ongoing

[feral kettle]

ive read saga

at least ive caught up

[pure robin]

Do you find they have similar vibes to One Piece with how strong the world building is?

One Piece fans should definitely read them

[outer tulip]

yeahh I mean we've had some but I'd say this is the largest western franchise for a korean actor non fluent in english

[modern lichen]

Saga is definitely pretty strong on the worldbuilding side

[hoary hawk]

park seo joon gonna be in MCU soon

but he speaks english i guess

[outer tulip]

oh does he? that's gonna be awesome

[hoary hawk]

yea

[pure robin]

Just hope they don't waste him, Marvel tends to do that

[trim crown]

Ep 3 hottd ||the more i think about the battle at the end the more i hate it||

[cunning spruce]

Oh joy, another Star Wars thing....

[outer tulip]

yeahhh.. im curious who he'll play though cause I cant think of any characters that would be a good fit from that era of star wars

[cunning spruce]

I honestly will be skipping it

[outer tulip]

no don't skip the Acolytes

its a time period that's like 200 years in the past, so its detached from basically everything

[feral kettle]

I like saga because it has that sort of like world traveling odyssey vibe w one piece

[cunning spruce]

But Disney owns it and I don't care about them anymore

[copper phoenix]

lol

[cunning spruce]

They pretty much been making lame things so my interest is non existent

[feral kettle]

I will actually watch this one

doing some thing new

i hope

[outer tulip]

yeah should be refreshing

[cunning spruce]

Lemme know how it is. Then if it's good, I might watch it.

[copper phoenix]

bruh rogue one, faller order and mando are some of the best star wars content we had and they all had the same thing in common

they're far away from the skywalker saga

[cunning spruce]

Rogue One was great

[outer tulip]

will do.. it wont be for another year at least

[cunning spruce]

Ohh

[copper phoenix]

you gotta realize the worst thing about star wars is them riding the nostalgia shit forever and never let the skywalker saga die

[outer tulip]

facts

[copper phoenix]

once we move on there is plenty of good stuff to see

[cunning spruce]

True!

I loved Rogue One because the story is so awesome

But bittersweet

[outer tulip]

yeah I love R1.. I def cried

R1/Andor || i guess it'll be cool to see what Andor was doing before then since he dies in R1 and what not ||

[cunning spruce]

I don't think the Skywalker saga was so bad, but it's just burned out everyone.

[outer tulip]

I think Kenobi was the final nail in the coffin for most people

just with all the additional lore

[cunning spruce]

Yee

My only thing is the digital characters in R1 was a bit on the uncanny valley side..

[outer tulip]

ha yeah I feel you there

[hoary hawk]

haha same

[cunning spruce]

It didn't ruin it, but it was a bit weird

The whole uncanny valley phenomenon is fascinating

half way through

||so since amanda waller is in it then this is def current. i really thought it would be 50s or sumn bc of the JLA. I liked the trailer tho i'm excited|| black adam

[white smelt]

Bro said half way through

You really had to get the theory out. I respect that

[sage sleet]

i was peeing while watching it so i stopped peeing to type lol

both mistakes

[outer tulip]

omg this looks so good

this looks Avengers good

[outer tulip]

black adam || yeah and that's good, so far she's been a really good interconnective aspect for DCEU and I like it ||

[sage sleet]

||viola davis as amanda waller perfect casting. So now that we now it's modern-few years back i wonder what will happen in the dumpster fire that is the dceu rn like pls man|| black adam

[outer tulip]

black adam || I'm not even gonna lie this trailer gives me hope for DCEU... despite the craziness around their org structure and how Batman isn't in DCEU and they'll need another (blah blah)... so far the stuff Amanda's been (TSS, Peacemaker, Black Adam) have been really good. I know Black Adam's gonna be good. So they just need to keep that momentum and kinda just lean on Viola Davis to make DCEU as much of cinematic universe as possible ||

[sage sleet]

||dceu one of the saddest things to watch not even coming from a dc fan bc the fixes are so obvious and it's been going so up like man but this trailer also gives me hope. And the fact viola davis is in it gives me hope too|| black adam

[outer tulip]

|| for sure.. and with Justice Society, this will definitely opens this movie up for incredible action.. I'm excited. This movie will gives me hope, if Aquaman 2 and Shazaam 2 are also good then we're in business (they both need to be good though) || black adam/dceu

[sage sleet]

||wb please see what works and port over. Take aquaman, shazam, WW (gal been out the heat for a min so maybe she safe) and work around that. Fill the other spots but please be good. So much they can do i pray it works.|| black adam but this is not even a spoiler or relating to black adam :/

i really wanna know what the beef with cavill is

[outer tulip]

oh there's beef with him? I thought he was coming back

didn't he have some sort of contractual issues with Netflix?

[sage sleet]

this is only a rumor so idk but i hear wb does not like him

and there's talk he might be in a marvel movie

if WB were smart they'd drop the ego and do what the man wants bc he is iconic as superman

i hear he wants to stop doing cameos he wants another big movie

but this isn't confirmed i feel like nobody knows for sure

this is all from people that are in close with that crowd

[outer tulip]

ahh I see

ummm

I guess I feel this is like new beginnings for DCEU and as much as henry cavill would be dope.. if they went with a really really good alternative that we can honestly see as superman moving forward. I wouldn't be totally against it

I just really hated Man of Steele and when I think of the era of DC movies that tried hard and failed.. I think of Henry Cavill sadly

And Ben Affleck tbh

And if he decides to move over to MCU, more power to him.. after Christian Bale and Charlize Theron I really the skies the limit with who can be included in MCU at this point.. I mean you might as well give Leonardo DiCaprio some random role of such

[sand cypress]

Stormlight archive ||Fuck moash||

[sage sleet]

i didn't mind man of steel until i thought about it years later. I don't like superman but i don't hate him and MOS made him feel so foreign in the worst way possible. Yes he's an alien but you know

||not a spoiler MAYBE but just in case henry still has a shot to be superman and in black adam bc of how hard the rock is pushing for him so we could see him|| black adam

also if he joins the mcu i'd be happy for him but the choices i've heard are either unknown to me or don't seem like a good fit

hope it works out for him with dc or marvel

[crimson lance]

hope he gets to be in good movies instead

[sage sleet]

||one more thing why did the on e spot in the trailer look like the xmen school lol|| black adam trailer

[crimson lance]

marvel contracts require so much of your time the actors almost make nothing else

[outer tulip]

for once Will speaks the truth

Its time for him to take on better roles imo

[sage sleet]

i only know him as superman, witcher guy geralt? and a char in mission impossible?

[crimson lance]

exactly

[sage sleet]

let superman shine please ion even like superman

me neither.. but I'd love to watch a superman movie I genuinely enjoy

Black Adam trailer || are Hawkmam and Cyclone part of a team led by Dr Fate? Who are the others in that team?||

[outer tulip]

haha he dipped right when BCS was over

[outer tulip]

Black adam trailer || all I can tell you is they're Justice Society... I think Dr Fate is in charge but I don't know all the details ||

@sage sleet would though! 🙂

[sage remnant]

Ah

I need Aldis Hodge to shine.

[sage sleet]

looked like it in the trailer so i'm happy

||atom smashaaaaaaaaaa|| black adam

[sage remnant]

Wasn't he in flash?

Unless I am confusing?

[sage sleet]

show or movie

[sage remnant]

Show

In the earlier seasons. I never got around to continue it

[sage sleet]

i only watched 3 or 4 seasons

are you maybe thinking of the atom in arrow?

[sage remnant]

Is this a different character? The flash

My knowledge of DC is very minimal

[sage sleet]

i have no clue then i don't remember him at all

must be later seasons

hope the character is good in the movie

looked dope

doubt he'll do too much but it's all good

[sage remnant]

Yeah. All is well if characters with less screentime would do something memorable

[sage sleet]

always liked atom smashed since i was a kid

based purely off design lol

wonder if we'll see any other chars

[outer tulip]

I wonder how long the movie's gonna be

hopefully like 2 and a half hours

at least

[sage remnant]

I hope it paces well so that it doesn't feel like drag at any instant

[outer tulip]

same apart of me is worried about the pacing and maybe being too slow in the beginning

[sage remnant]

Black Adam || origin story could be very slow paced||

[outer tulip]

Black Adam || yeah they'll probably have a part about his origin that would take time.. then him doing his Hancock thing just to make the movie fun.. then get into the villians ||

[sage remnant]

Yeah.

[outer tulip]

Black Adam || I like how this movie has antagonist layers though.. like first probably regular society.. then Justice Society and then Sabbac ||

[sage remnant]

Black Adam || if they make the atmosphere well, with the color grading and musics, even that could be felt good imo.
The only issue could be clash of the pacing. One part being too slow and another fast||

Idk much about Black Adam's stories sk no comment on that

[outer tulip]

Black Adam || same and for sure.. as long as they don't rush the action I think it has a chance at good pacing ||

[sage sleet]

||i dont think it'll be toooo big on origin just bc they showed it in the trailer like 5 times now lol. It's cool but i think it'll depart quick bc of waller||

[sage remnant]

So like 5-10 minutes?

[sage sleet]

@outer tulip @sage remnant so ||apparently instead of the JSA, it was actually supposed to be the suicide squad. This was supposed to be their movie but they changed it to starro. The suicide squad were supposed to go stop either black adam or supergirl (those are the 2 that they were thinking i hear) either way p cool but i loved the suicide squad and this movie looks dope|| black adam

5-10 would be ideal maybe a bit longer?

15

i personally don't mind too much just bc i know next to nothing about black adam

[sage remnant]

Same

It's not that much of a popular character, atleast for live action audience

Unlike like Batman whose Origin had been in LA a lot already

[outer tulip]

I feel the same way.. though I don't want it to drag I want to still to get the complete origin story

I'd say 10-15 minutes would be solid

[outer tulip]

that's a pretty massive transition

black adam || does that mean Amanda was somewhat always included in this? ||

[sage sleet]

i'd imagine so just bc how it lines up

[sage remnant]

Black Adam || no dialogue, narration alongside the events could help condensed it while not feeling fast||

imo

[sage sleet]

||either plot woulda been sick but i'm mega happy with the way the suicide squad turned out shoutout to james gun for releasing it day before my birthday|| black adam

[sage sleet]

||is this for if it were the suicide squad?||

[sage remnant]

Nah origin story

[sage sleet]

i think they were referring to what i said in what i pinged you n them

[outer tulip]

yeah lol but I do like the narration idea

[sage remnant]

Oh. I was intending to reply to Nami's message above that lol

Misclicked

[sage sleet]

oh mb mb lol

||i heard hawkgirl was supposed to be in this too but not confirmed also i wish hawkman's weapon were slightly longer/bigger|| black adam

[outer tulip]

word.. though this part was kinda dope (black adam)

is that how it works in the comics too?

[sage remnant]

Man I had been waiting for him to get a big role for almost a decade now. I am so excited

[outer tulip]

i honestly don't really know him from anything haha

[sage remnant]

Leverage 😎

[outer tulip]

OHHH !

See... now THATs a reason to watch it lmao

[sage sleet]

the actor or char?

[sage remnant]

Actor

[sage sleet]

also no clue my only exposure tho hawkgirl and hawkman is JLU

ah i see

didn't know him before this

aside from the voice of GL in the latest movie

[outer tulip]

same.. obv I knew hawkgirl from the justice league show on CN

[sage sleet]

jl and jlu?

if so same

[outer tulip]

JL.. but he might've been in JLU too

[sage sleet]

she was in both

he was in jlu for a few episodes

[outer tulip]

well she was in both.. but Hawkman might've been in JLU

ahh okay yeah

I fell off Justice League when JLU started.. I think I watched one arc or something

[sage sleet]

i never missed an episode as a kid

[outer tulip]

word I actually might go back and watch it

[glacial jetty]

finally watched american psycho today

it was good although a little different from what i expected

The third episode of Rings of Power is even better than the second one, I'm enjoying the show a lot now

[white smelt]

Sick

Maybe I’ll watch it weekly

Do you like it better than hotd?

[trim crown]

Personally, yes

But I'm a huge Tolkien nerd

[modern lichen]

Idk i like both shows at the point they're at now

[copper phoenix]

Same

And im enjoying power of the rings more than the hobbit movies, I just hate cgi in those movies

[outer tulip]

Why am I waking up to people stressing out about CR on twitter though lol

[modern lichen]

The latest CR episode was insane

That's why

It was a crazy episode

[mild seal]

Yeah it was a fucking rollercoaster that second half

[fluid merlin]

CR?

[mild seal]

Critical role

Actually the whole episode was nuts

[scenic frost]

Whaaaaaat! You aren't disappointed the dwarven women don't have beards or that elves have short hair or <insert racist complaints here>?!?!?

[trim crown]

How is this even happening

Why is it happening

[burnt lake]

The Dark Knight ||Gordon nooooo||

[peak pilot]

The dark knight is the greatest movie to ever exist

[shadow sequoia]

Good take

[outer tulip]

ROP e3 || OMG is that the actual Isildur?? ||

[north sun]

Ew

[peak pilot]

[outer tulip]

ROP e3 || I’m so lost.. why did they name drop Isildur from LOTR like that, is he related to the captain? ||

ROP e3 || Adar who now? ||

[fluid merlin]

been a few years since ive seen it, wondering if its still one of if not the best superhero movie

[north sun]

The best is Spider-Man 2

Dark Knight is fun though

[fluid merlin]

So many great shots in this movie

Never really cared for raimis spiderman tbh

[sage remnant]

The Dark Knight || the interrogation scene ||

[fluid merlin]

spider-man 2 didnt make top 1000

[trim crown]

Where's Shrek 2 in that list?

[fluid merlin]

it was within top 10 000 in the last ranking (2020) at least

[trim crown]

That's absurdly low

Unacceptable

[burnt lake]

The Dark Knight || ||

[peak pilot]

I’d this your first time watching

[burnt lake]

ye

[peak pilot]

Nice

[regal root]

Dark Knight is easily the best superhero movie of all time

It's a ride from start to finish and the job Heath Ledger did as the Joker was a masterpiece in acting

[trim crown]

Gonna watch the new episode of Rop on a 4k projector

[fluid merlin]

Before I started to explore tspdt lists I thought that my favourite movies were my favourites because nostalgic or sentimental reasons, now Im happy to find out they all make within top 1000 of greatest films ever made

Except collateral

[sonic tree]

spider man 2 >

[jolly heath]

BB s5 ep 14 big spoilers || hank and gomey ||

[modern lichen]

?

[burnt lake]

I have finished The Dark Knight

[regal root]

[outer tulip]

I think I got I figured it out

ROP || Isildur in rop is the Elendil’s son and same one who fought Souron and took the ring in the FOTR opening ||

Right?

[modern lichen]

rings of power ep 3 ||isildur is elendil's son, aragorn in the lotr is elendil's descendant||

[outer tulip]

Ok word

ROP || I was confused cause I thought this was all happening way before Isildur ||

[modern lichen]

i wont say anything further

[outer tulip]

ROP || it’s just in FOTR they had Hugo playing Elrond during that fight. But if Elrond is young in ROP, then it looks like they grew up at the same rate when ones an elf and the others a man.. is that significant? ||

Idc about spoilers

I just need to know

[modern lichen]

ROP ||elrond doesnt grow at the same rate as men, you can see in this episode that elrond still looks the same in the mural at the hall of lore, elros who is mentioned there is elrond's brother and the first high king of numenor, the show is compressing the timeline a bit||

[outer tulip]

Ah okay || but if numenor is supposed to be this amazing place provided by the elves, why even leave? How did Isildur end up in Gondor? || ROP

[modern lichen]

keep watching

why would i reveal that lmao

[outer tulip]

Idk I just wanna know. I didn’t expect anything to connect to LTR this soon besides || Elrond and Galadriel || ROP

one more question

[modern lichen]

it connects to LOTR in the most important of ways haha

yeah go ahead

[outer tulip]

ROP || So I always though Aragorn had long life cause he was staying in Rivendell and was enchanted from being surrounded by elves and all that. But does that really have to do with his people being from Numenor? ||

[modern lichen]

Rings of Power || yeah, you can take that as an explanation ||

[outer tulip]

Cool cool

This is actually a very fascinating series.. I hope they plan to do more seasons

[modern lichen]

its a 5 season arc

2nd season has been greenlit i think

[outer tulip]

Nicee

She Hulk e4 || why are they just casually dropping Sopranos spoilers?? If you haven’t watched this episode yet, beware!||

Rop ep 3 ||niiiice, I'm loving it||

[fluid merlin]

Just saw Nope! It was great, dont get why some are hating on it

[crimson lance]

good amount of them just didnt understand the movie

[scenic frost]

RoP E3 || There's head-sense and heart-sense
No, there's common sense and nonsense ||

[hoary hawk]

from what ive seen

people who saw it day 1 said it wasnt good

but everyone whos watched it since has said it was good

[fluid merlin]

maybe they had higher expectations

[hoary hawk]

honestly oli

and ill be perfectly honest

perhaps

maybe

they just arent as big brain as you

[fluid merlin]

jordan peele, ari aster and robert eggers are three very exciting "horror" directors that has come up the last decade

[hoary hawk]

i like peele and eggers

[fluid merlin]

its not even a big brain movie, its more of a blockbuster compared to peeles other movies imo

havnt you seen it fate?

[hoary hawk]

no

i have amc pass

and didnt use it at all last month

waste of money innit

wanted to watch bullet train and nope

[fluid merlin]

yeah

watched them both, saw bullet train last weekend

[scenic frost]

[fluid merlin]

was fun

Hmmm rop E3 was alright

NOPE || alot of people didnt understand the monkey bit which made the movie worse for them, but not me i understood it im smart ||

[glacial jetty]

Im so smart i understood it instantly after I read explanations about it online

[hoary hawk]

dang

its like that?

u different

[fluid merlin]

same lol, but its not like that reference makes or breaks the movie

I loved the fuck out of that movie even without understanding all the subtext immediately yea

NEW KOBRA KAI

[brave orbit]

"subtext" nerd

[white smelt]

What does that even mean

[outer tulip]

Omg it’s out???

Why didn’t you tell me earlier!

[pale hawk]

BECAUSE I JUST FOUND OUT TOO

I’m halfway through ep2

[outer tulip]

😭😭

How is it so far?

[pale hawk]

Cobra Kai s5 ||miguel is doing stuff to find his dad but he found him (I think) and then the cool guy and his son are looking for Miguel and idrk what Danny is tryna do||

[outer tulip]

Cobra Kai || sickkkk he found him! That’s what’s up.. can’t wait to watch ||

[pale hawk]

Cobra Kai ||its heavily implied it’s his dad but not confirmed I think but it’s definitely him||

[scenic frost]

Actually yeah it wasn't all that great tbh

Like it wasn't bad per se but didn't really get me excited or anything eithwr

RoP E3 || Also that I found that one shot of galadriel riding ugly as fuck and it's just stuck in my head idk why ||

RoP E3 || It was supposed to show the serene natural beauty and grace of elves or whatever but i just found it really awkward and ugly ||

RoP E3 || also those excessive "rrrrr"s everytime they speak a name with an 'r' is driving me nuts ||

[pale hawk]

Cobra Kai s5 ||the Miguel dad guy is a sigma||

[scenic frost]

RoP E3 || it is the singular most annoying aspect of the show for me ||

RoP || it's like their accent switches on for just that one word or something, is fucking wierd ||

RoP || either have them use an accent like that for all their speech or just speak it in the standard accent they are using. Don't fucking switch it on briefly every few seconds ||

RoP || also galadriel is reminding of WoT women so that's not a good sign ||

RoP || Angry, impatient, self important, arrogant, immature-ish you know the likes ||

[outer tulip]

ROP e3 || “I am Galadriel, commander of the northern armies” — now bow down to my awesomeness! ||

[scenic frost]

RoP E3 || I am Galadrrrrriel* ||

[outer tulip]

☠️

[scenic frost]

Don't tell me you don't find it annoying

It's so fucking wierd

[outer tulip]

I mean it’s unique for sure lol

Rop e3 || it’s probably adopted from their elvish language or something ||

[scenic frost]

RoP || Saurrrron and Morrrrgoth will flee before the sounds of their names ||

[outer tulip]

LOTR || I use to know Arwens chant in fellowship of the ring lol ||

[trim crown]

Rop ep 3 ||I also didn't like the horse riding scene, but I i can say that I'm really digging this series. Like I can't wait for the next episode. Hottd, meh, not so much|||

[scenic frost]

RoP || I wouldn't have a problem if they had a consistent accent, it's just wierd the way it switches on for a sec like somebody else speaking. Like the way Durin talks, is fine, the dwarves have a consistent accent even if the actors aren't all that great at it all the time ||

[outer tulip]

RoP || it doesn’t bother me too much if I’m being honest, but I def can understand how you feel lol ||

[scenic frost]

RoP || yeah story wise series is alright, is pretty interesting to me tho i am getting a little confused with changes to lore i don't know very well myself lol ||

[trim crown]

Just ride with it

[scenic frost]

Yeah that's what I am doing

[outer tulip]

Did you read silmarillion?

[scenic frost]

Just treating it as mostly standalone

[trim crown]

Honestly, it's not really important what happened 1k years ago

[scenic frost]

Yeah but like waaaay back

[trim crown]

Consider it just as spice for the nerds

[outer tulip]

Oh okay… I’ve never read it

[scenic frost]

Umm 1k years after

LoTR and all are set thousands of years after this series

[outer tulip]

Yeah this is a whole age prior

[trim crown]

Yeye, I'm talking about the events mentioned in the past

In the series

[scenic frost]

Ahh those

[outer tulip]

I found it important

[scenic frost]

Cz it is lol

[trim crown]

Like

[pale hawk]

Cobra kai s5 ||peak dialogue for a Netflix show||

[scenic frost]

Also the series did kind of a shoddy job of explaining it

But it isn't that directly relevant so is fine as long as you get the general idea

[outer tulip]

Yeah that’s how lotr was too

They kinda just kept it about that specific plot

[pale hawk]

Nami swan watch the video it’s spoiler free

[outer tulip]

Lmao okay im trusting you

[trim crown]

Rop ep 3 A||when introducing herself at court everyone knew who galadriel was, she's one of the second gen elves, literally. And it wasn't hinted in that scene, the scene after thi we could see that there was a little marionette screenplay with galadriel as the protagonists, so all could see that she was knows. The screenwriters make a co back for those who are not lore known||

[scenic frost]

RoP E3 || not about that, was talking more about the founding of numenor and stuff ||

[outer tulip]

Cobra Kai s5 || haha word this shows acting is actually kinda to me.. what did he say after?? ||

[scenic frost]

RoP E3 || but probably that will be explained in more detail later ||

[pale hawk]

Cobra Kai s5 ||it was just him stuttering||

[outer tulip]

Cobra Kai s5 || ahh okay, shoot I almost didn’t recognize him at first smh ||

[trim crown]

Rop 3 ||tbh it's not necessary to explain it for now story wise. I know how numenor came to be, but knowing this doesn't change the current events. That's why I'm telling you just to ride with it, for now||

Also I could tell you how it came to be

[outer tulip]

RoP || yeah I mean even in lotr they only talked about the later war part of the second age so it actually is consistent for them to only mention Morgoth and the battle that defeated them without going into much detail imo ||

[scenic frost]

RoP / Silmarilion major upcoming stuff || yeah that's why I said they will probably explain it later on, when the story moves to the part where the king is corrupted and they are all sunk and stuff. The only thing that doesn't make sense atm is why the numenorians hate the elves so much despite apparently getting sonmuch advancement and rewards and from the elves ||

[outer tulip]

Yeah why is that?

[scenic frost]

RoP || like the show doesn't really answer why they hate elves now tho ig since galadriel herself pointed it out they will probably explain further||

[scenic frost]

I would rather not to answer that as it will basically spoil a bunch of upcoming stuff

[outer tulip]

RoP || they just look like ingrateful assholes atm… hopefully that gets cleared up ||

[trim crown]

Rop 3 ||yeah, they will, the last scene with queen reagent pointed at it infact ||

Imo

[outer tulip]

Oh don’t worry… I’m fine with spoilers

If it’s already out there ima find it by Googling questions anyway

[scenic frost]

Well so Silmarilion, major upcoming stuff in RoP || So you know the current chancellor? The guy with the beard next to the queen? ||

[outer tulip]

Yeahh

[trim crown]

Also the fact that the screenwriters have so much leeway makes me sometimes as ignorant as someone that haven't read Tolkien stuff at all which is awesome

[scenic frost]

Silmarilion || he was corrupted by sauron to seize the throne and lead an army against the gods of the elves ( the Valar ) because sauron made him and the numenoreans feel like they were cheated and not given immortality at the time they should have gotten it when the Valar gave them the Isle of Numenor ||

[trim crown]

Rop 3 ||maybe, he was a dress as pharazon, but I don't know if it's that 0harazon||

Addressed

[scenic frost]

RoP 3 || who else is named pharazon? Also his bio on the Amazon page hints at his higher plans ||

[outer tulip]

Rop || oh okay so they’re not even acting on their own.. so was he the one who exiled the previous king? ||

[trim crown]

Rop 3 ||the names were repetitive, I could assume it was that pharazon, but I honestly do not know atm||

[scenic frost]

RoP 3/ Silmarilion major upcoming || So like numenoreans already kinda grew jealous of the elves over thousands of years since they forbade them from entering their lands or even exploring that part of the sea. So like numenoreans were the greatest civilisation in the world except for the elves and since the elves forbade them immortality they grew jealous and stuff ||

Silmarilion / rop major upcoming || so Sauron just prickled and pinched and made it worse ||

[trim crown]

Rop/silmarilion ||little piece of trivia, at that moment Arda was flat ||

[outer tulip]

Ahhh that makes total senseeee

[scenic frost]

But as you see RoP nowhere close to explains this stuff so far

[outer tulip]

ROP/LOTR || like I remember in LOTR they said no man was allowed to cross over to Valinor.. yet we’ve seen hobbits and wizards able to do so. So I can def see resentment there ||

[outer tulip]

Maybe they’re keeping it a mystery for now

ROP || also who is Adar? ||

[trim crown]

Rop/LOTR ||no mortal were allowed to, those were the exceptions||

[trim crown]

Rop ||no idea||

Rop/LOTR ||also the wizard belong to that place, they are from there||

[scenic frost]

Silmarilion || yeah so this rule made them jealous of the elves and sauron prodded them into attacking the elven continent, which is why they got angry, sunk numenor, cut off their continent from the flat world, turned the remaining world into a sphere that we see in LoTR and made it physically impossible to sail to Valinor except by magic||

[outer tulip]

ROP || that made sense to me at the time of LOTR cause men were considered “wicked” and compromised, etc. but if the numenorians were siding with the elves then they should be allowed.. maybe not immortality, but I can’t see why someone like Aragorn shouldn’t be allowed ||

[trim crown]

Rop/SILMARILION ||because they were mortal||

[outer tulip]

Rop || that include Gandalf I assume ||

[trim crown]

Yes

[scenic frost]

Silmarilion/ LoTR / RoP upcoming ( Nami don't open this please, major major suspense destroying spoiler ) || he's probably Annatar, the elven form Sauron took to influence the elves when making the rings||

[outer tulip]

Rop || ok so then the stranger is likely not Gandalf ||

[scenic frost]

Yea

[outer tulip]

Too late 🙂

[trim crown]

Lol

[scenic frost]

RoP || Gandalf isn't supposed to come to Middle Earth until centuries years from now if I have the timeline right ||

[trim crown]

Silmarilion/possible rop spoilers ||I belive its one of the blue wizards||

[scenic frost]

Yeah that is the most likely

[outer tulip]

ROP || so I saw in a yt video that he doesn’t come until the third age… and they were hinting at blue wizard yeah ||

[trim crown]

Exactly

[scenic frost]

RoP || The wizards are basically divine Angels of Arda ( the LoTR universe ) ||

[trim crown]

Silmarilion/LOTR/Rop spoilers ||also gandalf came by boat||

Silmarilion/LOTR ||yes, they are maiar, lesser gods, the corrispective of angels||

[scenic frost]

RoP / Silmarilion || the two blue wizards came to middle Earth in the 2nd age, followed by Gandalf, Saruman and the Brown wizard in the third, so then being one of the blue wizards is most likely ||

[outer tulip]

Rop stupid question || was Morgoth a Maiar? ||

[trim crown]

Rop/silmarilion ||also we know that the blue wizards opareted mostly in the Eastern South lands, where the story is focused||

[scenic frost]

RoP / Silmarilion|| he was Valar, a god ||

RoP/Silmarilion || Sauron was a maiar ||

[outer tulip]

Gotcha !

[trim crown]

Rop/silmarilion ||morgoth is a valar, Sauron is a maiar||

[outer tulip]

ROp || and I assume there’s nothing higher than a valar in this universe right? ||

[trim crown]

Silmarilion ||Well, was a valar, at that point he was vanquished||

[trim crown]

Silmarilion ||there's illúvatar, Father of all||

[scenic frost]

Silmarilion|| the closest to a capital G 'God', the Eru, named Illuvatar||

Silmarilion || with a fancy u ||

[trim crown]

Akagami were such nerds goddamn

[outer tulip]

RoP || gotcha so valar is like archangel ||

[trim crown]

Lol

[outer tulip]

Lmaoo

Y’all really upgrading me tho

[trim crown]

Silmarilion ||think of illúvatar as a superior being that transcends existence, valar are beings that can roam the physical world||

[outer tulip]

Ahh okay that makes sense

And this is ALL covered in Silmarilion?

[scenic frost]

Silmarilion|| i just think of them as small g gods and captial G God||

[scenic frost]

More than this actually

Silmarilion || the second age is actually only 20 pages in it, and the third age some 30 pages ||

Silmarilion || most of it is First Age of Elves and before ||

[outer tulip]

Oh wow

[trim crown]

Silmarilion ||after all the valar created Arda but they were made into existence by illúvatar, so it's like, they are gods, but they try to follow the plan of their creator||

[outer tulip]

Okay let me just get it to have it as a reference

[scenic frost]

Silmarilion probably isn't much good as a reference for the second age tho, you probably need some of the 12 volume essay compilation thing

[trim crown]

Silmarilion ||first there was only illúvatar, then he created the valar and through a song all of them created different parts of the universe, stars, afterlife, earth, the sea etc. One of them, morgoth sang a song that was dissonant, what other created, he destroyed, until he was cast away||

[scenic frost]

I haven't read them so idk for sure what it covers but there's barely anything about the second age in the silmarilion

[outer tulip]

Oh interesting… Well Amazon barely has any Tolkien books right now it seems (haha wonder why)

[scenic frost]

Lol

[trim crown]

There are only 4 Tolkien books

Hmthe hobbit and the trilogy of the ring

Other stuff was published by his son

Christopher

[outer tulip]

The silmarillon was published by his son?

[trim crown]

Yes

It was mostly notes

Often times discordant

[scenic frost]

I believe everything other than Hobbit and the LoTR trilogy were published by his son ( mostly ) and other family

[outer tulip]

Oh I see

I saw author as jrr but there is a note that says edited by Chris

[trim crown]

Because its John's work, that Chris made into sense

Basically

[outer tulip]

That’s pretty dope

[trim crown]

Tolkien want è dato tell the 3 major tales

But managed to complete only one

Sadly

Wanted to

[outer tulip]

Yeahh I see. I’m sure he’d be happy about the series

Or hopefully he would be lol

[trim crown]

Chris never acknowledged the work of Peter Jackson

[scenic frost]

It's wierd how autocorrect will always fuck up correctly typed shit but the one time you type wrong it does jack shit and let's it be posted for all the world to see

[trim crown]

The fact that I have Italian and English autocorrect at the same time doesn't help lol

[outer tulip]

Lmaoo

Sandman ep5 ||my favorite episode so far this is so good I could watch this all day||

Sandman ep5 ||oh bruh what this guy just made a diner orgy 💀||

[wooden swift]

really hurts having friends who are huge mcu heads bc we'll have a great convo about food or sport

then they go and say that love and thunder was good and i start to feel embarrassed

[burnt lake]

[wooden swift]

its insane to me how shit a film can be but throwing in a handful of cameos and "OOOOOOOH SHIT" moments saves the film

lipstick on a swine

[burnt lake]

It was pretty meh/bad yeah

All I gotta say is "at least it wasn't Black Widow"

[wooden swift]

i didnt even know that film was that bad

[sage remnant]

Black Widow is like 10x worse than Thor 4

[wooden swift]

oh christ..

[burnt lake]

Yeah it's awful

Quite literally the worst film I've ever seen

[modern lichen]

black widow is bad

not the worst film ever but definitely up on the marvel bad list

thor 2 is worse

[wooden swift]

i cant take it anymore

[modern lichen]

black widow bombed hard

[burnt lake]

I'm like actually thinking of any horrible films I've watched

[modern lichen]

there are far worse movies than black widow

[wooden swift]

yeah i mean thats without question

[modern lichen]

age of ultron is bad

the first thor is meh

eternals is bad

[wooden swift]

i literally

dude

lmfao

[burnt lake]

Eternals is bad but like all these films don't compete with BW for me

[wooden swift]

my cousin in LA got mad that i was on my phone while we were watching eternals in like a private theatre (my brother works at netflix and we get like private viewing rooms)

like my g

[burnt lake]

Private viewing rooms

[modern lichen]

chloe zhau won an oscar for her previous film

[sage remnant]

Both age of ultron and first thor had way more enjoyable moments than Black Widow.

Thor 2 is in the level of Black Widow ig.

[modern lichen]

and then it came to eternals

[wooden swift]

if the film i watched wasn't an on screen abortion

it would've been fucking sick

[modern lichen]

age of ultron is plain boring

anyway

i dont want to keep hating on the MCU for no reason, its not conducive

[wooden swift]

thats fine you dont have to

ill do it for the both of us

[burnt lake]

I just hope they don't bomb X-men

Or FF

[wooden swift]

yeah star

ok well

FF has bombed every single time

[burnt lake]

Tru

However

I can be optimistic

[wooden swift]

i have absolutely zero faith the MCU can somehow make it good when everything else they touch turns into Funko Pop levels of dogshit

if they ruin xmen ill actually be angry

[modern lichen]

FF is so cool in the comics man, what the fuck is wrong with Fox

fant4stic sucked ass

[wooden swift]

i never got my gambit film

[modern lichen]

[burnt lake]

I think I liked silver surfer as a kid

Idr it a whole lot tho

[modern lichen]

fuckin shit movie

[wooden swift]

I can't wait for MCU's Xmen when Storm kicks the shit out of some dude and says something like "black don't crack" and the whole theatre claps

[modern lichen]

the first 2 fantastic 4 films is enjoyable to watch despite how bad they are

[wooden swift]

if they make her into a yaaaas queen character ill unironically post about how much i hate the MCU every day

mark my words

[sage remnant]

[modern lichen]

the newer F4 movie is just utter shit

[wooden swift]

in fairness

i didnt want Channing Tatum as Gambit

and the actor I wanted to play him has passed

[burnt lake]

Kinda weird how Deadpool 3 is MCU but the others won't be

[modern lichen]

who others

[burnt lake]

Deadpool 1 and 2

[wooden swift]

Deadpool is only MCU because that hamfisted, childish, deadbrain humour aligns perfectly with the MCU's humour

tailor made

[modern lichen]

what

lmao

[wooden swift]

uhhhh chimichangas bombs uhhh kung fu katanas

epic

fucking awful character

[sage remnant]

Wasn't Taylor Kitsch good as Gambit? been a long while since I watched those movies

[modern lichen]

that's not deadpool humor though, the 4th wall breaks is where the funny comes from

MCU doesnt have the balls to break the 4th wall in general

[wooden swift]

i mean mcu doesn't have the the balls to make a good film either

but even if thats what makes deadpool funny

[modern lichen]

man, you gotta chill with this lol

[wooden swift]

that other aspect of his humour with the xd random shit fits perfectly into the mcu

no i really dont

and im not going to

soi

[modern lichen]

there are good movies in the MCU

[burnt lake]

Ye

[wooden swift]

if i get served a 12 course meal and like one or two things

im going to say it was an awful meal

[modern lichen]

its not one or two films that are good, there are a handful

most of it is average

passable

[wooden swift]

you and i have entirely different definitions of average

[modern lichen]

and there are quite a few duds

[wooden swift]

my issue at hand is like

ok, lets say most of it is average

the money and reach they have to make it not average

makes their films comparatively bad

[modern lichen]

its up to the writers and directors who set this up

[wooden swift]

all their writers and directors should be fired and blacklisted from hollywood

[burnt lake]

Spiderman No Way Home vs Supaidaman

[modern lichen]

?????????

[wooden swift]

because what they've done with their talent has been nothing short of embarrassing from a filmographic perspective

the formulae is so tired
