Her name was Talisa in the show but the character she is based around is named Jeyne Westerling, who is still alive in the books
crimson lance
well thats what i was confused on, because i thought it was like a big elegant wedding by one of the lanisters, Or Someone else and then it got bloody as fuck with at least 4 Characters who value dying
hoary hawk
im sorry but sheer numbers arent as impactful
as the sheer importance of the characters
regal root
The books and the shows are both really good in their own ways
hoary hawk
robb was leadin a f'kn army bro
and let it be known
robb never ever lost
on the battlefield
crimson lance
yeah but it was clear as fuck his army wasnt going anywhere
hoary hawk
thats what ned and robert thought too
crimson lance
also this may be very fucking stupid of me
hoary hawk
but they usurped the previous king
robb was a G
who was a threat to the lannisters
until his own betrayed him
crimson lance
But i was really hoping Robb stark was like, a fucking werewolf, and his men knew, but im glad they didnt do it
regal root
Yeah that would've been weird
hoary hawk
i think the series was always gearing up for jon though
crimson lance
I read too much into the whole "He was like a wolf" comment
hoary hawk
so i wasnt surprised robb died
just how he died
as long as tyrion breathes
i am happy
crimson lance
I was surprised shay was a fucking traitor
crimson lance
she didnt seem dumb, but then she fucking stops understanding context clues
hoary hawk
bro she did porn irl
regal root
Bitch ass Thot more like
crimson lance
nice
regal root
She did, and it was awesome that they picked a porn star for that role
hoary hawk
crimson lance
Whats book shae like
regal root
Similar to show Shae
regal root
Only her betrayal actually came out of left field
hoary hawk
if anything, they're almost always worse
because GRRM relies far more on realism
than the superficialness of a show
regal root
At least in the show they gave her a reason to be mad at him, in the book it just...happens
hoary hawk
^^
regal root
It was
crimson lance
"Oh, you're getting rid of me when you've proven to love me this whole time and have made it clear im constantly in danger? guess this must mean you're just throwing me away"
median plinth
ye, I rewatched, and her whole character arc I was like ||damn, can't wait until this slut dies||
scenic terrace
A western series i actually know stuff about 
median plinth
scenic terrace
Btw Sansa is bae and yeah she's dumb for not speaking up ||for the battle|| but it's okay cause she's bae
crimson lance
yeah all this titan talk lately and made htis channel lame
Wait for ||what battle||
scenic terrace
||the battle against the boltons||
crimson lance
||Oh, yeah that was fucking dumb||
||Literally could of saved hundreds of lives, including her brothers||
||and the life of the giant, who was a fucking chad||
scenic terrace
||okay, the way he died was retarded anyway so no matter what they did, they would have made him die||
crimson lance
||Yeah i guess, I just would of preferred him dying against a worth opponent, or against a army||
median plinth
||I never really cared for Rickon either way, he had like 3 minutes of total screentime through the 6 seasons he was in||
crimson lance
||Yeah but he was a stark and all starks good man||
scenic terrace
||smh how can you be a good stark if you break a deal||
crimson lance
What do you guys think of the theory about The starks Writing history? As history is told by the winners, and the starks are always the best people in the story, this isnt true in the book of course but in the shows it very much is
crimson lance
I dont think its gonna actually be a thing, but I do like the idea behind it because ya know history is written by the winners
scenic terrace

In case anyone is curious about which major characters who have died in GoT but are still alive in the books, click this -> ||All of the Tyrells, High Sparrow, Ellaria/Sand Snakes, Catelyn Stark technically, Brynden the Blackfish Tully, all of the Freys, Doran/Trystane Martell, Hotah, Lancel, Hodor, Jojen, Gren, Pyp, Ramsay/Roose, Mance, Ser Barristan, Alliser Thorne, Thoros of Myr, Stannis and his wife & daughter, Meryn Trant, 3 Eyed Crow/Raven, The Waif, Myrcella/Tommen, Littlefinger, Viserion the dragon, Rickon Stark, Osha, Sam Tarly's dad & brother, Summer and Shaggy dog.||
Nah, just thinking
Also the most sound theory I've heard about a potential author in universe is that it's Sam.
Btw I'm sure I've forgotten someone off of that list
scenic terrace
||Myrcella is still alive????||
regal root
||Yup||
crimson lance
Who?
scenic terrace
||Cerseii's daughter||
crimson lance
oh
regal root
||They left of a really cool scene from a Feast for Crows that I was mad about, one of the many things I hate D&D for leaving off of the show||
median plinth
||alive in the sense of the books haven't covered that part, or the show deviated by killing them?||
crimson lance
||Hodor getting fucking fucked by bran was so fucked up man, stupid bran, fucking sacrificed someone without their opinion, and ruined their life||
median plinth
It wasn't great, yeah.
regal root
Yeah that kinda fucked me up too Will
scenic terrace
As soon as the kiss happened i was like lol that person ded
median plinth
||I do think Cersei's family dying is definitely absolute revenge against her, and the end of S7 where even Jaime left her was pretty poetic, because all the fucked up shit she did for her family, but then all her family left her in 1 way or another||
crimson lance
So can bran change the present, or is stuff like the hodor thing something that always happens
Like, can he go back and ruin someone else?
regal root
Sorry Choc, I meant alive as in living currently in the story, I'm sure some of those characters are destined to die in the books ||Hodor, the Boltons, Myrcella/Tommen, Catelyn Stark again, and the Freys mainly|| but as of now they are all alive.
scenic terrace
I mean, based off my understanding, he can't change the present cause he's alraedy done so
or some shit
median plinth
||especially Tommen. Even though he was a cool kid, like the fact that the only reason he died was because of Cersei's actions definitely felt like poetic justice||
scenic terrace
time travel is wack
median plinth
Yes Buc, that was my question lol
if the shows had specifically deviated, or if the books just hadn't gotten to that part yet.
scenic terrace
In the very first timeline, ||hodor|| would have lived a normal life 
regal root
Same
crimson lance
Hodor could of been a fucking chad, making half giant babies with every woman in the village but instead he was the Mentally ill slave of a child
regal root
Did you know his real name is ||Walder|| in the books? They changed it to Willis in the show for obvious reasons
hoary hawk
omg i see adam here
crimson lance
Did you guys see that theory before the hodor back story was revealed, about how hodor was a name of a dragon, and the reason he says it is because he was tramutized by said dragon as a child
scenic terrace
That's cause i actually watch game of thrones fate
regal root
Hey Fate can I ask you a favor? I made a list of characters who are dead in the show but alive in the books a little bit up, if you have a minute could you please double check it to make sure I'm not missing anyone major?
scenic terrace
Do you book readers expect Genji to ever come back
or do you think they just did it for fan service in the show
regal root
Genji?
crimson lance
genji was who?
median plinth
I think he means Gendry
regal root
Oh
crimson lance
Gendry was who?
crimson lance
Oh
regal root
Gendry is still alive in the books
scenic terrace
the baratheon bastard
crimson lance
I was suprised he was gone for so long
regal root
He's still with the BwB as well
crimson lance
So you think Jon and Dany gonna have a happy ending?
scenic terrace
no
regal root
Bitter sweet if anything
crimson lance
which one you think gonna survive if either?
regal root
Jon
scenic terrace
well my gut says dani survives cause they gotta make a baby
regal root
They're not gonna ||kill him twice||
crimson lance
they make a baby, and for the first noteable time, incest ruins it
regal root
It is what it is man, it's gross to us but mostly normal in universe
crimson lance
Normal doesn't mean the science behind it doesnt exist
also it was normal back in like the era of incest irl too, too keep the bloodline pure and shit
regal root
I mean I think GRRM might've mentioned that incest babies have come out deformed or with issues before, just the ones we're paying attention to are mostly fine
crimson lance
Did he ever say for sure, that some of the fucking insane people were that way cause of incest?
like the mad king
regal root
He might've alluded to it
median plinth
I mean, it was implied that that was the reason
regal root
Can't remember
crimson lance
Yeah thats why i said "for sure"
alright im going to bed, gotta wake up like 3am tomorrow so i can get to work
regal root
It would make perfect sense that a lot of the Targaryens who have been cray cray in GoT universe were so in part to being the products of incest
median plinth
tfw ||Danaerys and Cersei are gonna have kids at roughly the same time||

median plinth
would be hilarious if true adam
regal root
To respond to your point Choc, first off ||guarantee Cersei is going to miscarry if she really is preggo, witch lady said 3 and that's it.|| Secondly ||guarantee she's going to die, mostly likely by Jaime's hand, she can't live to the end after all she has done.||
hoary hawk
||ser barristan is alive in the books?||
scenic terrace
would be hilarious if ||she died giving birth to a dwarf, just like her mom||
regal root
Yeah
regal root
He's holding shit down till ||Dany|| gets back
Of people who died in show but are alive in the books
median plinth
||3 has already happened. I think she will die after giving birth and epilogue will be like some scene of Danaerys' kid fighting Cersei's kid for throne or some shit||
hoary hawk
its accurate then
median plinth
Oh Adam, that would be good.
regal root
Hell fucking no, prophecy said she's gonna get killed by the ||valonqar, aka little brother|| and it will go down as such
regal root
They did

I didn't like how they did him in the show

It didn't even look like a struggle, why were the Sons of the Harpy so OP? They were fucking richbois who only used slaves. How the fuck they have the skills to combat skilled warriors, even like 10 vs 1

He looks pretty good on set
median plinth
they must do a lot of work on him before the show
hoary hawk
badass here though
scenic terrace
it's him after ||getting all the grey scale taken off||
regal root
Also their relationship is creepier in the books when you realize that he's like in his mid 40s and she's like 13 when he gets the hots for her, also the reason he gets the hots for her is because her looks reminds him of his ex wife who dumped him
regal root
His wife was a thot
He bent over backwards to try and appease her, even broke the law for her, then she dumps him to be some rich dudes concubine
Also this is pretty close to what Jorah is supposed to look like https://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/a/ae/Pojypojy_Jorah_the_slave.jpg

||Melisandre will just take off her necklace, flash her sagging ancient titties at the Night King, and scare them back to death

scenic terrace
How did the death ritual work again?
Could she use Gendry again and just 1shot the night king
regal root
Think it was just take some blood from someone with King's blood, burn it in a fire, and say a name.
Bitch should just shag some poor young lad who doesn't know any better, make another ||shadow demon||, and send it after the ||Night King||
scenic terrace
Haha let’s kill ||my brother instead of the real enemy, cersei||
scenic terrace
i mean he still could have targeted ||joffrey instead||
regal root
He did though
regal root
I mean not the ||Shadow demon|| but he got him with the death curse
scenic terrace
Damn, i didnt realise he cursed 3 different people
But that begs the question
why didnt he curse more using his own blood 
regal root
Maybe something to do with his life force?
median plinth
she did say he'd die if they did the nasty again
regal root
Believe so yes, hence why she approached Davos
Or maybe that only happened in the books? 
median plinth
yeah don't think that happened in the show
or it might've, but nothing came from it
regal root
I'm sad Davos's entire family wasn't expanded upon in the show, think they only showed his son Mathos in Season 2
The Battle on the Blackwater was much more tragic for him in the books, he lost 4 sons in the ||explosion.||

Robert Bareotheon:I should have leave those kids alive. I could have give back the throne and go whore hunt fight
regal root
Like it's easy to see Tywin as a purely evil character because he is a dick to Tyrion and played a big role in the destruction of House Stark and the suffering of thousands of people, but from his perspective a kingdom was trying to rebel against the crown and take the throne away from his grandson (whom he believed was legitimate).
In that instance he's simply trying to protect his family

Mountain:

I honestly have trouble deciding who the bigger dick is between the Mountain and Ramsay, I mean yeah they're both psychopaths who like to rape and murder people but they're two different kinds of threats, the Mountain is physical but Ramsay is more mental.
median plinth
Tywin
evil
who even says that?
||The single stupidest thing Tyrion has ever done in the series was kill his father for really no reason at all.||
I'll just add spoilers to that one.
regal root
||>For really no reason at all||
||Except the fact that he would've executed his son for a crime that he knew he didn't commit out of spite.||
median plinth
||He wasn't going to execute him. He was going to send him to the wall, if he pleaded guilty to the crimes. It was either Tyrion or Cersei who he'd "wrong". I mean, Tywin was not fully in the right, but Cersei was the Queen so she had power to just make the arrest, and bore a grudge. Like, idk what exactly Tywin was meant to do, he didn't have the power to stop the trial, and Cersei basically rigged the trial. Even after Tyrion was let out, Tywin was willing to talk with him. Obviously he didn't favour Tyrion, but he was literally a Lannister, which was mainly what Tywin cared about. He never planned on killing Tyrion, but Tyrion was mad because he fucked someone who lied in trial just to try and get Tyrion killed. 
||
calm sun
||he killed tywin because of what he did to Tysha||
||in the book anyway||
||its unclear if tywin would actually execute Tyrion or not. He hated his guts quite a bit and got more and more irritated over time||
median plinth
||the whore? Shae? Is her name Tysha in the books?||
calm sun
||nah Tysha was a different character from Tyrions backstory||
median plinth
||Oh, the fake bride? When he was 16 or w/e||
calm sun
||yes||
median plinth
||ye ok. I don't think Tywin would've killed him though. Just from the fact that he didn't really seem to care that Tyrion had escaped the prison. Don't know if he was just acting calm or actually was calm, but I assume the latter.||
regal root
||I assume it was the former, I mean how else are you going to react to someone aiming a loaded crossbow at you?||

I mean outside of Season 7 I don't know how you can consider anything that GoT has done thus far to be rushed
Mind you they went from about 90% source material in Season 4 to about 40-50% in Season 5 to none in Season 6 and 7 but outside of 7 everything has been well paced.
Excuse me, I'll give Season 6 a 5% on source material since they included the Riverrun stuff

I love the difference in campaign between Marvel and DC movies
It's all marketing and people refuse to see it
B4 a DC film drops they try to tell you all of the dirt and who didn't like it
B4 a Marvel movie, "there's a special screening for cancer patients"
lol
things like
- support the creatives
- mostly black cast
- female lead
- high scores by internet sites
- reviews by "experts"
- podcast and youtuber/blogger gossip and rumors
- awards
- sales reports from box office
are all marketing tools, but people still go crazy over it
none of these actually matter because we all have opinions, but some just value these unimportant factors over their own opinion for some reason

I'm a bold man
You can't have ||her entire crew|| go, and there was the grayscale scare earlier, killing him is waaay to obvious. I think they'll pull a fast one and let him survive

I mean we all know ||she's|| gonna go, the only reason I sad guaranteed is because of ||prophecy from the 3rd episode last season.||

A lot of people that have been shittin on GoT for years are now binge watching the series, so they don't feel left out when everyone is watching S8. It's weird. If you don't like it, then don't like it. The need to feel part of something is lame. There's something for everyone.
It's like if Supergirl gained a giant boost in viewership and now I want to start watching. I just can't see why i'd do that. Supergirl is shit whether it gets more popular or not.

S2 of GoT was about to start when I started working. I remember the tvs at my job playing the part where they betrayed Ned. I had to watch it
I forgot who was the other person that said it, but Spielberg is just as salty as the other guy. As great creators, they put value in lame award ceremonies, then try to play gatekeeper when someone that they don't approve of, wins.
A movie is a movie. Whether I watch it online or at the theater

I don't read the books, but do they explore Essos more? I really like when the story goes there

Not really but he has some prequels coming out so they might
I mean pretty much what has been shown in show is the brunt of what we've seen of Essos in the books
You got Illrio's house in Pentos, the markets from when Dany was going from said house to the Vaes Dothrak, the desert, Qarth, Slaver's Bay, and then Braavos from Arya's time there

If you really want a good GRRM prequel series to read, check out Dunk and Egg
It follows the journey of a legendary Hedge Knight named Sir Duncan the Tall as he travels across Westeros with his apprentice, the future Aegon V Targaryen (aka Egg, Maester Aemon's younger brother who became crown prince after Aemon decided to join the Night's Watch).
sage sleet
people really wanna see them do sir dunk and egg
regal root
I'd would love them forever if they confirmed the fan theory of Dunk being Hodor's grandpa
sage sleet
how many years prior was sir dunk and egg
regal root
Well Maester Aemon I believe was over 100 in GoT and iirc he left to join the Night's Watch when he was in his late 20s-early 30s so I would say about 70 years at least
And just for reference to who Egg is in relation to Dany, he's her great-grandpa.
sage sleet
are egg and dunk related then?
sage sleet
oh wasn't he a bastard or something
regal root
Dunk? I don't believe so, just some random commoner
And Egg was a legitimate Targaryen
regal root
Nah, Egg is Aemon's younger brother. Dunk is some hedgeknight whom Egg thought was cool and followed him around on adventures
regal root
It's a good series, got about 4 books now I believe, think GRRM has a 5th planned for after Winds is finally finished

how long has he been working on that

yeah
regal root
Cause he's been on the clock to get Winds done since he released Dance back in 2011 (the year GoT premiered)
As for Dunk & Egg that first got released in 1998
GRRM has said he'd like to continue to bump out their stories from where he left off with his latest one in 2017 to the end of the characters' respective lives in universe
Cause we already know how they both died
ivory egret
I really appreciate writers with these massive worlds, but still juggle a bunch of other things like TV shows, making appearances, etc
He's 70 and doing all of this
calm sun
The odds of him finishing the books is like 30% though
regal root
I'll be optimistic and say he will finish Winds before he dies, Dream on the other hand...

I need to get back in the gym 😩
sage sleet
she does train hard
I hear she's very determined in the gym
@regal root you should watch this video when you get the chance
nothing important just her talking about captain marvel and the actor for it
and how brie larson is kind of an asshole
also you should check out her channel
her quality gets much better I promise
regal root
I mean, I'm not surprised that a woman who said "I don't want to hear what a white man has to say..." in reference to criticism of her movie is a pretentious asshole irl
regal root
Divergent lady
regal root
I'll just call her discount JLaw
Since Divergent is pretty much a knock off of Hunger Games anyways
Again, I'll say that I hope Captain Marvel is a fun time for the peeps who are going to watch it in theater, cause I'd hate if someone ultimately wasted their time (and their money) doing something they ended up not enjoying. I'm still not gonna see it but it's just because the trailers haven't caught me whatsoever
ivory egret
Just watched ep 3 of Doom Patrol
Like I thought b4 ep 1, Jane is proving through every ep why she's my fav character
||Out of all of the internal struggles, i'm impressed by how Larry's is handled||
||He's ok with his true love being hidden, but becomes panicked when his true freedom is right in front of him. All these years and he still hasn't resolve that issue of being mentally free. Until he admits that he handled his wife and fam + lover wrong, he will fail to deal with the Negative Spirit||
sage sleet
I'm gonna watch it tonight
was waiting on a friend but he's taking too long
I'll uncover your messages when I see the episode
crimson lance
so does this channel include Movies
Or are they not included since they're not a series
ivory egret
1 day, i'm gonna figure out my top 10 movies of all time
I know the Wood, Beautiful Mind, and Spiderman 2 are in there
oh yeah, Lion King
I love Whiplash, but it might be 13-18, not top 10
sage sleet
movies are fair game
do you include anime movies in that list
or just movies as awhole
anything goes kinda thing
sage sleet
I'm gonna think as well
ivory egret
It's hard for me to put anime movies in there because I enjoy them more as a series than movie
damn, it hurt to say that
sage sleet
I get that
I feel like I haven't seen enough movies
even tho I feel like i've seen a ton
ivory egret
Trying to think of my fav anime movies. Then compare them to my fav movies
crimson lance
I really liked whiplash too
I'm not a band kid or even into music that much but it was a good movie kept me on my seat the whole time
sage sleet
I'm gonna do some serious thinking tonight
crimson lance

I liked matt damon in something other than action hero who survives againts all odds, but I didnt really like Robin williams or their interactions with each other
ben Affleck was good too
leaden depot
I personally loved Williams in this movie tbh
ivory egret
Shutter Island and Inception are def in there for me
leaden depot
Good shit yep
crimson lance
i mean he did good outside of his usual comedy appearances but i just didn't like his character or his place in the movie
ivory egret
Thriller? Shutter Island, Law Abiding Citizen, The Game, Departed
I have to watch Unbreakable and Glass one day
sage sleet
was gone girl the one with ben affleck
ivory egret
Oh my God Seven>>>>
sage sleet
ok I saw that one a few months back
se7en was really good
I like shit like that
my friends said good things about it
I'm gonna more than likely watch it tonight
ivory egret
The Game had me paranoid after the 1st watch
sage sleet
what are some good thriller or drama movies
besides split
with little naughty action
I just switched my room around so my monitors are exposed
leaden depot
I liked Collateral too
ivory egret
I watched Collateral after i watched Phone Booth in HS
leaden depot
yeah, low budget and made it work
I will always recommend Heat, probably one of the best heist movies ever made
sage sleet
I will never look up a characters name ever again
I just wanted to post a pic
I may have just been spoiled on how to get away with murder
the blond fbi agent from how to get away with murder is a bitch
like her facial expressions and how she's always smirking
regal root
Kind of reminds me of Brie Larson 
sage sleet
I'm really curious how captain marvel will do
like
what if brie larson wasn't such a cunt about everything
how would the movie do
regal root
I mean outside of BP (which I'm convinced only did as well as it did because people were hyping up a modern day superhero movie starring a primarily black cast) Marvel movies generally do pretty average with debut movies
IM got 585.2 on a 140 budget, Hulk got 262.4 on a 150 budget, Thor got 449.3 on a 150 budget, CA got 370.6 on a 140-217 budget, GotG (even though that was a team up debut) 773.3 on a 232.3 budget, AM got 519.3 on a 130-169.3 budget, and Doctor Strange got 677.7 on a 165-236.6 budget
And Spiderman got 880.2 on a 175 budget
So CM has a 152 budget, considering it's the lead in to End Game if it doesn't pull in at least 700 I would consider that being a loss for Disney.

I caved
trailer was so good
I'm watching it day 1 unless I have work
I like how they're reshowing a lot of the old clips from trailers
so we get some old and some new
all cool
the music suits the movie
I wonder if we'll see more of the shazam family
sage sleet
also
people are calling the shazam trailer really lackluster
I honestly like it a lot
showed just enough
I can't stand when trailers give the whole movie away

Doesn't everybody? 😦
It ruins the whole experience of seeing the film for the first time. 😦

Captain marvel reviews are out on youtube
regal root
Gee, I wonder what the people being paid to make a review are going to say?
regal root
1 month and 11 days away from greatness
SJ heavily implied that IM 2 and Thor 2 were better, yikes
Also hearing that there will be a controversial ||retconn involving Nick Fury||, so we'll have to see how they handle that
sage sleet
I've seen a few reviews
Not very good to ok
1 good but she said it was a weak good
Will keep watching
regal root
So common things I've heard so far: the cat stole the show, it had some good moments (as you'd expect from an MCU movie), it was definitely a feminist movie (take that as you will), there was not a clear cut/fleshed out villain, there wasn't enough time/effort put into making the audience connect with Carol Danvers as a character, and that the movie ultimately was a tad disappointing. So from this I'm getting that it was at worst okay and ultimately a disjointed movie. Think my fav critique came from SJ "it felt like a Phase 1 movie in a Phase 3 arc", still gonna be a hard pass from me but I hope anyone who does see it in theaters enjoys it.
regal root
Damn, u right
sage sleet
brie larson was very good in it from what I hear
she is a very solid actress of course
I'm not gonna watch every review or go into any detail whatsoever
do movies always release a few hours before the main release
I think what's hurting the movies rep is the marvel name
"it just isn't as good as other marvel movies"
people are comparing it like crazy
echo dagger
wow, reviews are out already
dim hedge
so you leave Batman to make him strong then why is he so weak now
Question strikes again

I saw him in person once at a convention
crimson lance
Nah he has been dead since like, late 2018
sage sleet
@regal root Idris elba is now gonna be deadshot lol
people wanted him to be john stewart
regal root
Could've been worse I suppose
Also I'm just not sure Idris is grumpy enough to play someone like John Stewart
sage sleet
yeah I agree
idk who i'd want john stewart to be
do you have any suggestions?
wants rather
mighty mist
Why'd they replace Will?
sage sleet
will didn't wanna keep going I guess?
I don't want john being absolutely massive lol
but I have no ideas
regal root
I mean isn't his character a war vet? I'd imagine being jacked would come with the territory.
Morris Chestnut would've been great 10-15 years ago
David Oyelowo has a good look to him, but he's a tad on the older side
sage sleet
I was gonna say shemar moore but john stewart is typically darker skinned
well
in some pics from comics he's lighter like this
but I would want john to have a deeper voice
regal root
I mean I'm not a stickler to a degree that it would have to be a perfect match to the comics, but yeah I'd like a live action John Stewart to have some bass in his voice
Also has to have a good stern look to him
sage sleet
yeah it wouldn't be the end of the world to me if his voice wasn't deep
I liked shemar in criminal minds
sage sleet
not my favorite but I wouldn't be mad
ok yeah I needed to see the body
it could work
this would have been nice
not sure about the mustache tho
I want my john clean shaven
maybe stubble idk
regal root
Yeah I wasn't the biggest fan of the redesign of his in JLU either
Liked him having hair
sage sleet
I didn't mind it I just found it really weird
too ka 180 for me
lol
phil lamarr as green lantern
I'd be down for it
original voice
he's fit
he has acted a lot outside of animation
regal root
I wouldn't hate it, that costume would need lot of work though
regal root
Like if there are any lessons to learn from Ryan Reynolds GL movie it's this, make a real costume
With today's technology you can't tell me a CGI transformation from a set of street clothes to a real designed costume couldn't be done cleanly
sage sleet
if other movies can do it why can't they
I really
REALLY
want ryan reynolds to be hal jordan
if they are doing the buddy cop movie
if not the john stewart all the way
regal root
It's the damnedest thing isn't it? Like for years he came off as the perfect pick to play Hal Jordan live but then the movie stank
These convention cosplayers got me dead sometimes
sage sleet
lol they want both
I really hope he comes back
especially with the end of deadpool 2

Whats some good movie to watch rn
thats been out for at least a few months, and isnt a cult classic, or something everyone has seen

I think james gunn could make a booster gold movie
have a great time with it
very light hero
sonic quail
anyone excited for brightburn?
also that dude could play the gl thats indian
hes pretty racially ambiguous
regal root
Brightburn definitely caught my attention, James Gunn practically ripping MoS and giving us a "What if Superman were evil from birth" story, has a lot of potential
mint kiln
No
sage sleet
bro...
i'm watching the trailer now
oh so it is
that's some creepy shit dude
it sounds cool but idk if it's my thing
I think she says it best
the good and the bad
good to see james gunn really getting into things

Well
I guess Darkseid comics just turned Sexist
Every men in His army is sexist and why granny goodness is in his council cause she his whore
regal root
So I went ahead and read the plot synopsis of Captain Marvel since I had no interest in seeing it in theaters, yeah...think I can get a good feel of why it currently has a ||32|| audience score on RT. Mind you this is just day 1 of it in theaters so no doubt it will change, check back in a week and see where it's at.
sage sleet
A friend wants to see it when he's back in town so I might go with him
Remember that one dude that said Aqauman sucked and only made money overseas? He said captain marvel wasn't good but he's still giving it a good score
Soyboy mode activated
I've been watching more spoiler free reviews and its very up and down
I hear brie Larson did a great job and they didn't really shit on men like the trailers
And people really liked the villain but thats all I know
SOME PEOPLE GOT TO SEE SHAZAM AND THEY SAID IT WAS HEAT
Will post screenshots in a bit
There are 0 spoilers of course
sage sleet
absolutely no spoilers included
I haven't seen anything bad but idk if the site just showed the good
I am looking tho
regal root
Shazam is definitely a day 1, still bummed we haven't gotten The Rock as Black Adam (yet) but I understand why they went with Sivana as the first villain for him, here's hoping it does well enough to get a sequel
sage sleet
I think it was confirmed he isn't gonna be black adam
I could be wrong tho
maybe he's waiting to see if shazam will do good
see if it's worth his time
I could be wrong
regal root
From what I'm reading he's still in, shooting is supposed to start up near the end of the year
sage sleet
he'd be a perfect black adam
god i'm so excited for shazam dude
I wanna look up more reviews for it
100% no spoilers but i'm so spooked i'm gonna get spoiled
the people that were allowed to see it and say something are probably under a nda but I can't be too sure
regal root
Be nice if they do what they did last time with Aquaman and release it overseas first
sage sleet
yeah
they don't even need it because it looks promising but it would just help a lot
I hope they do it
what could go wrong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkxBRlEae4 a good review of captain marvel

never ever search a serious critic from this channel lmao
regal root
I mean obviously, they're a parody channel that nitpicks on almost everything for the sake of the lols, but if you're going for a comedic rip on that movie you could've gone a lot harder then they did.
mighty mist
Right!
leaden depot
well yeah, I know better channels for that
Like YMS or RedLetterMedia
Also gotta say I prefer these last 2 over the prequels
The prequels are the supreme meme overlords tho
regal root
At least the prequels have heart, as bad as they are. The new trilogy is just a cheap cash grab. Give me the prequels all day any day over the new trilogy.

i was fine with force awakens and thought last jedi was alright

I'll have to respectfully agree to disagree, TFA was a knockoff of Episode 4 and TLJ was a complete shit show.

So I'm sitting here watching the 2014 Godzilla to get me hyped for Godzilla: KotM since it's coming out in 2 months and all I can say is that I sincerely hope the execs/producers who thought that ||the last third of the movie|| was a good idea were all fired. Shit was ||blacker than my soul, couldn't see jack||. Which is a shame because the movie had potential and they dropped the ball.
sonic quail
Buc im not gonna lie to u all i was thinking after u said “so im sitting here” was “with bbq sauce on my titties”
Also yea im hype for my monster fight summer blockbuster
regal root
Silly Alb, I save the the bbq titties for Friday nights 
sonic quail
Lmao
regal root
Also not gonna lie, I'm a tad worried for KotM, outside of adding an additional producer it's the same big wigs in charge of this that were in charge of Godzilla 2014. The only hope I can have that it'll be an improvement is A) because it's gonna be a bigger cast of monsters and B) they have a new director/screen writer

let me look
I shoulda bought the year pass
i'm doing the monthly because big amounts intimidate me
even tho it's cheaper for a year and I have a job
regal root
The Flash movie next year has to be Flashpoint imo, it's their only chance of doing a soft reboot of the DCEU
Or in 2021 excuse me
crimson lance
best case for a soft reboot, is a irl universe reset
sage sleet
like maybe this guy is a big flash fan so idk
crimson lance
also yeah you cant trust the actor of the movie to give honest reviews
no matter what movie it is, wether something like this, or a passion project made by the main lead
regal root
I meant soft in the way that they wouldn't replace every one, just the actors/actresses on their way out like Affleck, Adams, and maybe Cavill
Cause Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa are great as WW and AM

they finally woke up
