#

well, i'll find out.....in 2032?

sage remnant
#

I really want to read

limber urchin
#

damn you brandon

sage remnant
#

Stormlight all || Kaladin meeting Lopen and other Bridge 4 who are in Roshar ||

limber urchin
#

i don't care about your other books lol give me mainline Storm

sage remnant
#

SAME!

#

I think cosmere's a super great concept, and Brandon's the author who has been doing it the best I can expect anyone to do

#

but it's still lacking for me

#

Stormlight all/Cosmere || He doesn't seem to take risks of different planets being in different era of technical development. Sure there might be someee but not like to the level of millennia of difference and the various economical and other impacts it cna have ||

limber urchin
#

When did he decide he would officially have a cosmere? Before, during, or after writing Elantris or Mistborn?

sage remnant
#

Since before Elantris

#

|| Hoid was the starting point || Cosmere general

shrewd sigil
limber urchin
#

oh lmfao btw Mistborn book 3 ||The Lord Ruler making sure the tech behind gunpowder was lost is hilarious. "These peasants will kill us all with guns!"||

sage remnant
#

would have been SO COOL

shrewd sigil
#

cosmere all don't open buffy ||all the 16 stuff was fun to read I remember||

sage remnant
#

but idk man

#

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really

limber urchin
sage remnant
#

ehhhh

#

not really

limber urchin
#

I love detail in my books (asoiaf). I don't think i want to read about a country's economic system in a novel though

sage remnant
sage remnant
#

it can easily be done through show don't tell

#

like

#

in normal interaction and behvaiors of people

limber urchin
#

i agree-ish. but that's gotta be a really fine balance to strike

sage remnant
#

like

#

even us going to supermarket to buy goods

limber urchin
#

like showing a bank doing a currency exchange

sage remnant
#

is a huge indicator of how economy works

#

in these tiny things

#

you can change a lot

limber urchin
#

i'm cool with that, just don't give me an infodump on this stuff.

#

which is tell, don't show

sage remnant
#

well like I said, I want it in non infodumpy way lol

#

like just example

limber urchin
#

let me backtrack slightly though

#

I am OK with infodumps that have been earned through the story. like a mystery that's finally getting solved and does require good explanation

sage remnant
#

RoW || The social structure and timing of the way magic was introduced in the world and how economy of the world is situated,
Roshar got science behind electromagnetism in form of fabrial science before they discovered systematic agriculture ||

#

|| we didn't get a infodump about it. but just the various pieces and stuff showing the world to develop this differently from our world, is what I want from my worldbuilding ||

limber urchin
#

RoW ||He DOES go into that explanation of how Navani's flying systems work and the whole elevator shaft mechanics which did make my eyes glaze over though||

#

brandon is such a nerd dammit

sage remnant
#

I mean,,, not the point but again that's like

#

needed?

#

|| cuz like it's just a magitech version of TWOK || RoW

limber urchin
#

i was ok not having all that detail. probably different strokes for different folks

sage remnant
#

|| TWOK goes more into the mythology and what not || RoW

limber urchin
#

mechanical breakdowns probably are not too much my thing

sage remnant
#

fair

#

I find that more towards mythological stuff nowadays

#

cuz like || if you think TWOk one was needed and RoW one wasn't, I would call you a hypocrite || RoW

#

||but if you say you enjoyed the first and didn't the latter, it's just a taste thing||

sage remnant
sage remnant
limber urchin
#

like you don't like reading that?

sage remnant
#

I am tired of it

#

I like them

#

but what I want more is || how A world, with certain social and economic structure and races and magic (which is always a resource that can be studied and developed on) comoditized , would look if it progressed 500-1500 years ||

#

RoW/fantasy genera idk

limber urchin
#

that kind of stuff can also fall under annoying worldbuilding lore dumps

sage remnant
#

I dont mean loredump!!!

#

do it well idk

#

😭

limber urchin
sage remnant
sage remnant
#

BUT

#

he still does it in a way I am not satisfied

#

Lemme do the dishes. Will return in 10 min. I am enjoying this convo

sage remnant
#

Brandon and the manga Magi are the only ones that have been okayish in that regard too

jolly ruin
#

Hello #cosmere

sage remnant
#

yall don't read other series

#

talk discworld

#

talk black company

#

it's only harsh who occassionally talks other books

modern lichen
sage remnant
#

and Juba once in a blue moon

#

and Archer once in a year

sage remnant
jolly ruin
sage remnant
#

still nice

raw gate
#

I’ll start posting movie yap, if one must save this channel from monolithically structured discourse WAKAINU

#

Joking. I like how much you guys get into it

sage remnant
#

Same with Bleach in os

raw gate
#

It’s ok. The world benefits every time Bleach discourse ceases

sage remnant
raw gate
#

Kubo’s just gonna fuck everything by giving Pierrot the green light to completely restructure the story buuuut

#

I digress

#

Os topic anyways

modern lichen
sage remnant
#

You watch a lot of movies than anyone harsh

#

plus this channel always had its phases

#

Just its second cosmere phase after the first in 2022

modern lichen
#

I’ve not been watching movies at all nowadays

sage remnant
#

Hopefully Crime 101 is good

modern lichen
#

I just read most of the time now

sage remnant
#

Too tired to even do that man

#

doomscrolling is all I have left

#

Too tired to engage with media I am resorting to slops...

raw gate
#

But also because I’m just passionate about film. I mean, I wouldn’t go out of my way to consistently watch a movie per day if I wasn’t

modern lichen
#

love to see it

raw gate
#

Crash, Branded to Kill, and Yojimbo are my favorite first watches of the year rn

#

Cronenberg must be dethroned before the year ends

modern lichen
#

thought i'd be changing this up from time to time

#

only been cycling out princess mononoke

raw gate
#

Ikiru is so fucking good, man. I still do not think I could say anything about it that would do it proper justice

#

Irrelevant, but also sort of relevant, I was watching Kojima’s criterion closet video and he said something along the lines of people within Japan being more into the works of Ozu and Mizoguchi than they are Kurosawa’s and that the big difference is that Kurosawa’s work was more accessible than the former two’s to a western audience

#

Which was sort of interesting to me. Not in the sense that I disagree, just in the sense that I had never considered it

modern lichen
#

kurosawa made really ahistorical period films but they rocked

jolly ruin
modern lichen
#

I read both

#

Anything that interests me

#

And a lot of stuff and topics interests me

limber urchin
#

i do both as well, though fiction more often than non-fiction

modern lichen
limber urchin
#

like i was reading about ancient israelite archeological biblical history, which was neat

#

and then Empire of the Damned afterwards lol

#

tonal whiplash

#

and i've read some quasi-political books about the US

rich meadow
#

I’m not fully up to date with each run, but I’m loving the absolute DC lines. Very refreshing

Your WHAT???

drifting schooner
worthy crypt
#

Wor || can I look up a picture of terravangion's diagram? Will it just be arcane hints or explicit spoilers ||

limber urchin
#

i think it will spoil things

worthy crypt
#

Ok thanks that's why I asked

limber urchin
#

and even if it doesn't directly, a website heading, comment, or even image link might spoil something

@limber urchin comic store owners recognize me now

tacit basin
#

Oh shut up

#

“It’s the gal that only reads about rogue and Emma frost”

limber urchin
#

number one customer

tacit basin
#

I’ve seen people walk out with huge stacks of new issues

#

4-5 bucks for each

limber urchin
#

just be like me and buy a single one piece volume every couple months

tacit basin
#

How do they do that every week

limber urchin
#

jobs

#

good money

#

or they're bad with money

#

the latter is more common than you may realize, and this applies to grown adults who live on their own

tacit basin
#

I wish I grew up when comics were 50 cents a piece

limber urchin
#

i wish sodas were still a buck

#

for 20oz

tacit basin

Saw a 25c fantastic four issue being sold for $240

limber urchin
tacit basin
#

When you were in your 20s

#

Fun fact

70 cents for a quarter pounder with cheese

tacit basin
#

The first xmen issue is 1 year old than my dad

tawny parcel
#

Can you imagine

#

That’s how much a qp is too….

tacit basin
limber urchin
#

this is how much it is on my grubhub. i don't think it's this price in person though (and this is not including the additional fees and taxes)

tawny parcel
#

Food shipping prices are just more expensive

limber urchin
#

food delivery apps are so criminal. glad i stopped them a few years back

tawny parcel
#

I rarely use them

limber urchin
#

doorass

tawny parcel
#

Only when I’m feeling exceptionally lazy

copper phoenix

I dont trust the delivery guys anymore after some horror stories I heard

tacit basin
#

Black cat #5 2019
Was tempted

copper phoenix
#

at least not to deliver food

#

wait this isn't #also-manga why are we talking off topic here

limber urchin
#

grubhub was incredible during the height of covid (though maybe not for the drivers, sorry homies)

Big unhealthy burgers

I’m not the one off topic for once 🥹

#

Look at the cool signed black cat issue though

foggy mirage
worthy crypt
#

As long as you give a nice tip I think you can trust delivery drivers. It's only when you give em nothing you gotta be worried

brave orbit
#

Watched Office S7E22

#

Peak

#

Also finished Man on the inside S2

#

And watched half of Parks & Recreation S1

worthy crypt
#

The way I see it it's a fair price to pay to enable myself to be lazy

#

I can't be assed to even drive to get my food that I'm too lazy to make myself, the guy doing that for be deserves a decent tip

copper phoenix
#

thats called wage

worthy crypt
#

A lot of the times when I get food I'm drinking or smoking and just being the pinnacle of slovenly gluttony

limber urchin
copper phoenix
#

hell yea

worthy crypt
#

I'm not in charge of the system my only option is to tip or not so I choose tip

brave orbit
worthy crypt
#

Is that where slovenly comes from? That's pretty mean if true

brave orbit
#

Yes

now I'm sad and disappointed

You spent to watch mercy

Mercy is a hot pack of ass

foggy mirage
frank rivet

the fact it wasn't AI slop makes it worse 😭

sage remnant

foggy mirage

I dint pay to watch it

#

Was very bad though

#

Not even like funny bad

#

Just bad

sage remnant
#

I think it was on the brink of funny bad for me

#

But didn't become that

#

So it was just bad

foggy mirage
#

Like the best January movie was bone temple

valid thunder
#

Breaking bad

#

Deserved

frank rivet
#

@foggy mirage

  1. Arrival
  2. The Lobster
  3. Rashomon

foggy mirage
#

March should be better movie wise

foggy mirage

You are one of us

You need to watch blade runner eventually

Im ngl 2049 takes the lead for me in parts

#

But both are peak to me

sage remnant

Both mid fr fr

valid thunder

I am lowkey biased against 2049 because of Redditors

frank rivet
#

foggy mirage
#

So have fun

sage remnant
#

/s all three are very good

frank rivet
sage remnant
#

Theatrical and extended cut of first, and 2049

sage remnant

So the only.option was Mercy

Other movies were even worse

foggy mirage
#

Primate did not move me

Not a lot of motion

frank rivet

@foggy mirage

valid thunder
#

Ye

white smelt
sage remnant
#

I don't love marvel stuff?

#

I shit on every of them nowadays

frank rivet
#

FF was decent

sage remnant
#

I have read PHM. I don't see it working as well as a movie so meh

#

Godzilla Minus 0 is more of my dislike of everything needing a sequel nowadays

foggy rain
#

Trying to get through each film before doomsday

#

Knowing I only care about a specific group G5Laugh

sage remnant
#

I have watched important ones I think

#

Which is pre Phase 5 mcu, Xmen and ff

foggy mirage
#

Way more hyped for the sequel

#

Specially if minus one sequel ||its hidorah or biolante||

sage remnant
#

I would hate that even more

foggy mirage
#

I think you're gonna hate the movie period

#

I'm ngl

#

You seem very dead set on the pre hate

sage remnant
#

Godzilla Minus one || Just the shot of Godzilla at the end ruins the emotional catharsis of the finale ||

foggy mirage
#

😭

sage remnant
#

So I am forgetting it exists

#

But even that isn't as bad

foggy mirage
#

So long as you dont stand on the sidelines like an old man whenever everyone here is gushing about it

sage remnant
#

I never do that?

foggy mirage
#

Not saying you do

sage remnant
#

I sometimes meme hate on smth

#

but when people start loving and gushing

#

I leave lol

foggy mirage
#

I'm ngl

sage remnant
#

FF is an exception to my Marvel take abobe

#

I think its the peak of MCU Marvel

#

🏃‍♂️

foggy mirage
#

Yeah no

#

Unless your name is gotg3

#

Not the peak for me

sage remnant
#

GoTG3 is the weakest entry in the trilogy sadly

#

still Great

#

but I liked 1 and 2 more

foggy mirage
#

Heavily disagree

#

But yeah

sage remnant
#

Fair

foggy mirage
#

1 is the weakest to me

sage remnant
#

I don't have much negatives or anything about 3

foggy rain
sage remnant
#

just 1 and 2 hit more for me

frank rivet
foggy mirage
frank rivet
#

im trying to come back after x-men 97

sage remnant
foggy rain
#

Lisa my hopium is off the charts

sage remnant
#

I think Xmen franchise had been much better than MCU as a whole

frank rivet
#

thats true

foggy rain
#

X2 and Days of Future Past stood out

foggy mirage
#

Xmen origins

sage remnant
#

The peak of Days of Future Class, Logan

foggy mirage
#

And everything post days

#

Outside of logan

#

Was hot garbage

sage remnant
#

MCU had even worse entries

foggy rain
#

Logan was very nice yes

foggy mirage
#

Nah dark phoenix is pretty horrendous

sage remnant
#

Trueee

foggy mirage
#

Might be worse than dark world

foggy rain
#

Awful movie

sage remnant
#

Uhhhh

foggy mirage
#

X3 is just aggressively mid

sage remnant
#

I don't think worse than Dark World

sage remnant
foggy mirage
#

But phoenix is the end

#

Of the xmen

#

And thats worse

#

By several magnitudes

sage remnant
#

See wanna hear my very valid copium

foggy mirage
#

Twice they've tried to adapt that arc

#

And both times fumbled

foggy rain
#

Quite true

sage remnant
#

With the timeline nonsense Bryan singer did
The definitive canonical movies are

|| Xmen, X2, First Class, Days of Future Past, Logan || Xmen all

#

|| cuz Days of Future Past effectively removes X3, all Origins Movies ||

foggy rain
sage remnant
#

Yeah like

foggy mirage
#

Is why

sage remnant
#

doomsday third trailer || That Cyclops Shot is more peak than anything in both franchises ||

foggy mirage
#

Unless its watts

sage remnant
foggy rain
#

I see

foggy mirage
#

Watts can make palatable mid

#

Cretton could get me hyped for xmen

#

If it was him

foggy rain
#

Doomsday Third Trailer ||Well if it’s anything, hopefully the movie does Cyclops justice that the fox films did not||

sage remnant
#

I mean

#

Don't you think they will

foggy rain
#

After several films G5Laugh I can’t be sure yet

foggy mirage
#

Save the mcu cretton

sage remnant
#

|| Cuz bro that shot got me from not caring about MCU to watching Doomsday in first show || Doomsday

#

who's cretton

#

Which movie

foggy mirage
#

The bros are fresh off the electric flop

#

So I better see some insane motion for doomsday

sage remnant
#

Well they have been flopping after MCY

#

The gray Man was unwatchable

foggy mirage
#

Yeah I dont have much hope for doomsday

#

I'm basically at ground level excitement

#

Unironically bigger chance spiderman 4 suprises me

sage remnant
#

Wait let me be clear I don't think its gonna be a good movie at all lmao

#

doomsday || I am going there just as a Xmen fanboy||

#

idc about the movie

foggy rain
#

Same G5Laugh

foggy mirage
#

Doomsday ||they are all gonna die in the first 30 mins.||@foggy rain @sage remnant

#

I'm betting money on that

foggy rain
#

I’ve been watching some of the films in preparation but

#

I don’t feel too invested

foggy rain
#

LMAO

sage remnant
#

Even that could be fulfilling to me ngl

foggy mirage
#

Doomsday ||they are all gonna die in embarrassing ways.||

sage remnant
#

Don't jinx it...

foggy rain
#

Doomsday ||To return, only to die early in the runtime, cruel fate||

foggy mirage
#

Doomsday ||people hyping up cyclops like the scene wasnt him about to get slimed out.||

sage remnant
#

But it was peak?

#

Doomsday || that's not an embarrassing way. That's a crazy good final stand ||

#

In just that clip

foggy mirage
foggy rain
sage remnant
#

🏃‍♂️

foggy mirage
#

Off an amazing director

#

Who's doing the sequel

foggy rain
#

We have to get rid of the MCU surely

foggy mirage
#

Vs nostalgic slop

#

Hmmm I wonder which one is more likely to be good

sage remnant
#

A movie which has the potential to undo the cathartic ending of the first one?

#

Vs a fan service movie

foggy mirage
#

I couldn't care less about the ending

sage remnant
#

yeah I am sure which one I would prefer

foggy mirage
#

Fan service movie has way worse of a change to be bad

#

I dint exactly like Deadpool 3 either

sage remnant
#

Deadpool 3 was good

#

idk

foggy mirage
#

The nostalgia monkey dance can only get you so far

foggy rain
#

Oh if only I could afford uncanny X men omnibuses JuPeter

sage remnant
#

I would rather have a hollow fanservice sequel than smth like NWH where I can't even enjoy the fanservice

foggy mirage
#

Thats mostly on people being born too late

sage remnant
#

How?

foggy mirage
#

Did you grow up in the 2000s

#

And never watch anything spiderman related ?

foggy rain
#

I sure did

foggy mirage
#

Rice is like 25

sage remnant
#

Lisa if I am Xmen nostalgic, would I not be spiderman nostalgic

foggy mirage
#

I believe

sage remnant
#

xmen is older lol

sage remnant
#

Rice is like 21

foggy rain
#

Cyclops #1 picked this up today

foggy mirage
#

Not the rest of them

foggy rain
#

22 Lisa

sage remnant
#

X2 too

#

I am 25 lisa

#

I grew up with those fucking movies lmao

#

and NWH didn't work for me

foggy mirage
#

Idk how it dint work for you

#

I think shang tsung might have gotten your soul on this one

#

😭

#

I think the movie is terrible

#

Fan service is the only thing that did anything for me

#

I've gone on record here not liking almost anything from the watts movies

sage remnant
#

It tried to be more than fanservice and the other aspects not working for me didn't let me enjoy fanservice

While Deadpool and Wolverine from the onset was nothing more than fanservice

foggy mirage
#

But yeah

sage remnant
#

Spiderman 2 is like 2006

foggy mirage
#

Goro

#

Nwh ||the main bad guy and appeal villain wise is green goblin from 2002. Nobody was going that nutty for doc and I love the guy.||

sage remnant
#

Oh its 2004

foggy mirage
#

Also that

#

The one closer to 2006 is 3

sage remnant
#

Deadpool 3/NWH || The only part which made me emotional was Maguire and Doc convo and Peter saving MJ.

While Deadpool 3 just endcredit behind the scenes had me crying ||

foggy mirage
sage remnant
foggy mirage
#

I like the xmen a lot

#

But Logan was a way better movie

sage remnant
#

It was

foggy mirage
#

Definitely feel dp3 ||was way more disrespectful to Logan than minus one could ever be.||

#

So to me everything mcu wise these days starts at ok

#

Till it hooks me in or proves to be worse than ok

sage remnant
#

I mean, the Minus Zero comparison is weird as the tone of the Deadpool movies and Minus 1 is night and day?

#

It works in Deadpool because its deadpool

foggy mirage
#

I dont find him funny

#

So it dint work for me

#

At all

sage remnant
#

The whole reason that movie works is because its not taking itself seriously

foggy mirage
#

Being a quip machine is what every mcu character does

#

Its not really a special trait

#

😭

#

I enjoyed dp3 when it released but every rewatch made it nose dive for me

#

Now it sits firmly below 1 for me

#

The last mcu thing I genuinely loved was wonder man

sage remnant
#

so when some good moments occur like say || Logan in her mind "They Walked Away" or "You were always the wrong guy, until you weren't" or smth by x23, it added a layer of extra sincerity to me || Deadpool and Wolverine

foggy mirage
#

Before that uh...

#

Gotg3

sage remnant
#

What's The Wonder Man

foggy mirage
#

Dp3

foggy mirage
#

Was fantastic

sage remnant
#

Ah

#

not really interested sadly

#

too many shows

foggy mirage
#

Shame

#

But it was a great sincere show

#

So it got me

Shows need a bigger investment for me

foggy mirage
#

If a show is good its good

#

Don't really care about the stakes or investment

sage remnant
#

I am already tired of popular stuff with how I wasted 3 seasons in Stranger things

foggy mirage
#

I mean its a limited show

#

Its only got one season

sage remnant
foggy mirage
#

With 6 eps

sage remnant
#

It will waste a week

#

or 2

foggy mirage
#

5 hours = a week

sage remnant
#

I watch stuff slow. I can't even finish a ep in one sitting lol

foggy mirage
#

I'm trying to math

#

Its not mathing

#

The eps are like 40 mins

sage remnant

brave orbit

frank rivet

foggy mirage

Alongside a world of ice and fire

I read those back to back

frank rivet
#

people that read the books said they did a good job with the series.. you would have to verify

#

i can't read so FujiKEK

foggy mirage
#

For a knight tho id say its accurate

#

Couple changes but nothing drastic like got or house so far

#

House 2 took insane liberties

sage remnant

frank rivet
#

by the way Lisa you ever watch Ben 10, if so thoughts on the new Comic coming out in May

foggy mirage
#

The new one for the omnitrix

#

The other one on the cover looks better

frank rivet
#

oh what about the new Alien designs no fuking with it?

foggy mirage
#

Doesn't really make much sense to me

frank rivet
#

i hope because it is atleast teen rated that we will get a bit more Absolute universe vibes

sage remnant

Be more worried about absolute kevin

#

Or absolute ghost freak

sage remnant
#

Absolute Ghost freak

#

Would be insane man

foggy mirage
#

Very likely a later series villain

#

If they get that far

#

Not like anything they do story wise can ruin this

#

CN was fumbling that reboot

frank rivet
#

10000%

#

it use to be so peak man 😭

sage remnant
#

also what comic are we talking about

#

is there a news I forgot or don't know about

frank rivet
sage remnant
#

the artstyle...

#

idk man

#

I thought we had something like

#

absolute ben 10

foggy mirage
#

Ben 10 isnt a dc property

#

Its just a darker reboot inspired by it

sage remnant
sage remnant
#

like

#

idk || the concept of Absolute universe like the heroes not having their advantage - maybe lack of Uncle Max - and then being cosmic horrory || would be great

#

Ben 10

#

than just darker reboot

foggy mirage
#

Just the previews

sage remnant
#

ah

#

I mean I hope it's similar

#

than jsut "dark"

#

cuz that's boring

Stormlight/Tress || One of the Magic System here is related to Connection, and there are examples of like characters who can use that abilities connecting people to the language speaking people to give them limited time ability

Or a civilization just making a magic translation tablet which uses connection for predictive input ||

@limber harbor

limber harbor
#

I’m eventually going to read these, should I click anyway?

sage remnant
#

Yeah

#

just a magic system spoiler

limber harbor
#

Stormlight /tress || depending on how this is used it seems like something I can like or hate. Depending on how convenient and related to the other magic it is||

sage remnant
#

|| Not convenient|| Stormlight /tresa

#

Stormlight/Tress|| In the latter its just to show how a world you have visited previously in a different book has progressed in 200 years ||

limber harbor
sage remnant
#

Tress had so many things I love but it just had to be written and structured in fucking annoying way

limber harbor
#

Stormlight/tress || I heard the best thing about these books is its magic system so I suppose it’s pretty well done ||

sage remnant
#

Ehh I don't really know

#

for me its the emotional catharsis

#

And Brandon seems to write my brand of worldbuilding for the most part

#

Prose is literally invisible

#

Except in Tress where it isn't so it sucks

limber harbor
#

Stormlight/tress || but to be honest magic system is far from my top priority in series, as long as it’s a story where I care about the characters, it makes everything better by default||

sage remnant
#

For me Brandon takes the win in characters and Worldbuilding

#

People apparently like his plots, but they have either been in don't care category or bad for me

It’s cool but it’s not the best Shin movie

Godzilla obviously is the best

Followed by Kamen Rider

yeah I agree

it's still really fun

modern lichen

noted

had a wave of nostalgia about it earlier lol

Been getting some Batman and Star Wars edits on IG

you probably understood what that means G5Laugh

Yeah

sage remnant

@raw gate have you watched Shin Godzilla or Godzilla minus 1

and if you know smth about western monsterverse

#

Season 2 coming out on my birthday

Minus One is cool

I prefer Minus one to shin

but both are fucking amazing

tame remnant

#

We’ve moved beyond that

tame remnant
#

If my life went a different path I would be dedicated to bringing it back

sage remnant
#

Mocap tech is really good

modern lichen
#

Shin Godzilla || It works for Shin Godzilla because the creature doesn’t show up for a lot of scenes and whatever is shown of Godzilla is impactful enough in those very scant few scenes ||

tame remnant
sage remnant
#

Monarch is like

#

take the mess that is Monsterverse

#

and manage to tie it together pretty well

modern lichen
#

Monarch streamlines and gives us actual good human character to root for

sage remnant
#

Anna Sawai is killing it man

#

Monarch

#

Shogun

#

Pachinko

#

she's in in the upcoming Beatles one too

tame remnant
#

Damn I almost watched Shogun too

modern lichen
#

And the Beatles biopic

#

Yeah

#

Shogun is really good

sage remnant
#

another one I am hating that they are making a sequel

#

they could idk

#

cover the second book of Asian Saga

#

but nah they want to make a direct sequel to Shogun

tame remnant
#

They made a series once before like in the 70s or something right?

sage remnant

@limber urchin mistborn updates before I go watch superman/batman apocalypse or doomscroll and sleep

Unfortunately the suits aren't half as convincing in 4k you can see their seams lol

idk if they are referred to by that

Godzilla
I haven't seen Kamen Rider yet, Ultraman is okay but Anno's style isn't anywhere near as well suited for a hopeful superhero film

modern lichen
#

Besides AKOTSK I’m not very moved much by ASOAIF anymore (unless Winds comes out, then I’ll be VERY moved)

tame remnant
near echo
#

Superman 2025 is kinda exactly what Shin Ultraman was trying to be and more effective at it

sage remnant

hmmmmm

tame remnant
#

I have all the books out other than side stuff and I just won't read them till the final books come out got

sage remnant
#

I think both worked similarly at different level for me

raw gate
tame remnant
#

Are all three shins on Amazon?

raw gate
#

It doesn’t feel suited for what you’re describing Ultraman as

modern lichen
#

I don’t even watch shit on Prime anymore, riddled with ads I have to pay extra on

sage remnant
#

atleast Netflix is great still

modern lichen
#

I ALREADY PAID SO MUCH FOR PRIME

sage remnant

and I don't have to pay LucciBusiness

#

I just use my sister's work buddies group one

tame remnant

I use a friends lol

sage remnant
#

also to whoever watched it, Leverage Redemption ends with s3

sage remnant
#

it was unreal that the series was ever continued that way

#

but we got really peak stuff

#

and a peak Noah Wyle character

#

(got reminded of it cuz of Prime convo)

valid thunder
sage remnant
#

yea lol

raw gate
modern lichen
#

Yeah bro

#

It’s ridiculous

valid thunder
#

We really went full circle back to cable tv

sage remnant
#

cable tv better

valid thunder
#

Fuh naw

near echo
#

Shin Ultraman ||the gap between the "what if a superhero was in modern day society and had his secret identity discovered by the government in minutes, and now has to deal with the japanese bureaucracy," to "Ultraman is learning to be human and thinks humanity is worth fighting for" subplots doesn't really get resolved for me. A lot of scenes arent really earned, they're just accepted as a straight adaption of scenes from the show

I came out of it not really caring whatsoever about any of the characters it's just a framework for a package film recreating some of his coolest fights in HD. Which is fine, and I do like the movie taking an episodic approach instead of having a singular villain and scenario. Superheroes work best when they're given a lot of their mythos to work with and I'm tired of seeing origin story films only covering like, one villain and evil plot for 2 hours in a genre fueled by 20 minutes episodes and 20 page floppies||

#

You can read all that when you see the film Rei lol

sage remnant
#

yeah don't open it rn

#

I agree for the latter ig

#

but the first did work well for me

#

well mesh well

Prime ui is so ass too and the library is worse than netflix and hbo.

just use RD and Kodi

The 1954 film as well

Pretty excited about Minus Zero

# sage remnant <@1038641236170514482> mistborn updates before I go watch superman/batman apocal...

Mistborn book 3 ||Act 2 still|| ||Vin and Elend just had their dance, it was cute; I was surprised nothing went wrong at the ball. Secondly, so far, this book is my least favorite of the three I think for two reasons: lots of build up without a focused antagonist outside the nebulous Ruin and Deepness/Mist, and we're still after a couple hundred pages focused on the main goal of finding that last cache. I assume from there is when things kick into high gear. I actually like Spook's chapters the most and TenSoon's chapters the least (in fact, I can do without them honestly). I don't hate the book, it's quite good, just my least favorite of this trilogy so far. At least there are neat revelations being explained in the beginning of chapters.||

Mistborn book 3 || I am sad that the dance could have been my fav thing from the entire series. It HAD to be it, and would be it on paper.
But just the things surrounding it didn't work for me so it weighed down on it ||

worthy crypt

i havent been watching many movies lately. the most recent i seen was escape from new york which wasnt like.. good cinema.. but was pretty entertaining

I don’t even think I would rate Rock A Doodle or FernGully
