Lots of good monster action
Im not into Godzilla lore or anything but this was entertaining

Was there any after credit scene leading into Zilla vs King Kong?
crimson lance
Surprisingly most critics said there wasnt enough human drama but there is 40 straight minutes of it, then more sprinkled throughout
Idk im leavjng the theater rn
regal root
Those critics don't seem to realize that you don't need human drama to drive a monster fighting movie, you just need good monster fights
neon coral
the human actors, no matter how good the actor is, always kinda suck in those films
that was an issue in the last godzilla film
It's like watching GoT and complaining that ants don't get enough screentime
how were the monster fights?

Does anyone think that game of thrones is the inverse of lord of the rings?

the mongolians actually integrated other countries into their society, all they did was do a take over
The mongolians were pillagers, but they were far smarter than other groups
they actually wanted to learn but had nothing to offer
so they used their brute stength and took over other countries
they didn't really kill civilians at all
mostly soldiers
it's an interesting story

Yeah. Civilians weren't excluded. A lot of rape too. Probably why the unsullied got their stuff cut off. Would've been bad PR for Dany if her soldiers could go around doing that

can't have families and shit
makes them more docile I suppose as well

as for rape, dany was already able to keep her armies from that back in what, season 1?
regal root
She tried, still plenty of women were raped before she temporarily put a stop to it
regal root
Even the witch herself said she was raped liked 3 times before Dany put her foot down iirc, that on top of her peeps and home getting destroyed made her take it out on Dany
runic dirge

not too young to change her name

It was funny as shit when it was announced a few years ago that one of the most popular names for girls were either Daenarys or Khalessi and it's funny as shit people are freaking out about her ending so damn bad they're changing their kids name to something normal. Almost like naming your kid after a character in a violent story in pop culture is fucking stupid
neon coral
I was smoking a joint in my hammock the other day and she started talking to me about how she might have to change their names now but can't afford to lmao

she better start affording it

it's not like in universe they are aware they have to be unique

Is it good? @stuck vector

oh yes
pale tapir
I've been seeing it all over for some reason lately

it kinda got off track in season 2 but other than that, it is really good
especially season 4

well it is probably bc its gained a lot of attention after netflix picked it up
tom ellis is a phenomenal actor and he has a cute ass but u aint heard that from me
pale tapir
Lol, I dunno. Shows like that, I've seen a lot of them. But for some reason when it comes to most series, nothing really grabs my attention anymore
Like the way One Piece has I mean

yeah understandable
i didnt think i'd like lucifer but i find his character to be very compelling
pale tapir
Lol but then again, there are still some big shows I've been putting off forever
Like Mad Men, It's always sunny and The Office
stuck vector
like first ep i was like :/ ok and then as i continued to watch the show continued to pull me in hahaha
pale tapir
Damn nice nice
stuck vector
u might like it, i dunno. i think it's very interesting esp since lucifer in general is always presented as this Evil Being in media, but in this one he's not at all evil hahaha
pale tapir
Yeah, well there are some interesting interpretations of lucifer
stuck vector
i mean yea he does devillish things but not Evil Things if u get me
pale tapir
Like, I dunno if you've seen Supernatural
stuck vector
i like the interpretation of lucifer in this show. i think that's why it pulled me in
yes i have
pale tapir
He's pretty evil in that, but it's a good interpretation lol
stuck vector
yeah i agree
in this one lucifer is well, he's literally just an angel who was forced to watch and rule over hell. he's not evil, but he punishes evil and might i say, him being the devil gave him serious daddy and self issues
pale tapir
Well that was always the case with most interpretations of the devil. Not the "being forced to watch over hell" part, but the daddy issues part
Right now I'm finishing season 3 of Santa Clarita Diet
Surprisingly good light comedy

I can't give too many details, but basically she becomes an undead zombie in suburbia and her and her family has to deal with it

So switching back to GoT/ASOIAF for a second (since Vyr posted that piece a bit ago), I just did some math and discovered something gross
Mind you the situation itself was already gross, it's just that the math behind it makes it worse (to me)
So I was watching a GoT video featuring Maester Aemon earlier and that got me thinking about what happened in the immediate years after he abdicated the thrown to his little brother Aegon "Egg"
So his younger brother had died in a tragic event known as the Tragedy at Summerhall at the ripe old age of 59, but this was also the birthdate of his first great grandchild Rhaegar
So calculating the ages around and remembering that Aegon's son Jaehaerys had married his 2 kids together because of a prophecy he heard I found out that by the time Rhaegar was born his dad was 15 and his mom was either 14 or 13
That's gonna get a yikes from me Chief

but at least there was a dragon around to make the biggest political statement ever in the series

who needs Jon's entire character during those last two seasons when we can just have a dragon REEEEEing at a chair because "politics bad"
for all those people who missed his many speeches
runic dirge
this is perfect
neon coral
the only good thing that came of it is that
runic dirge
and yeah dragon intelligence was never really addressed in the show
it was mentioned briefly by Tyrion who knows when a long time ago
and there are other small asides that could be attributed to one side or the other
but I don't buy it in the books or the show, if only that there's never really any form of communication with them
also because fuck season eight
it flies in, and has to do that nudging of the corpse thing to verify, but is also capable of deep political thought?
guess that's what happens when all you want is one emotional moment but you also want some deep philosophical statement afterwards
because fuck consistency of portrayal with one of the strongest forces in the GOT world

Has the relationship between robb and jon been more explored in the books?

A bit more

In the show it seems a little ambiguous, but it mostly seems like he sees him as a brother, but as a first born stark he feels the need to stay formal?
How is it in the books?
regal root
Robb trusted and cared for Jon enough that he legitimized him with the intent that should Robb die he wanted Jon to succeed him as King in the North.
Jon doesn't know though
tribal tundra
I see
regal root
He actually got in an argument with his mom about it because she hates Jon
tribal tundra
Thats interesting, because in the show he doesnโt seem to mind it when he asks if his mother said her goodbyes to him
I really need to start reading
regal root
Was really sad they didn't add that scene in the show, fans would've loved Robb significantly more if they had. Obviously though they couldn't because they replaced Jeyne Westerling (the woman Robb married in the books) with some woman named Talisa and made her pregnant, which eliminated the need for Robb to name an heir

Still though, that decision made the Red Wedding more brutal which I can really appreciate

the twilight zone reboots have been trash, the original was a work of art though IMO
yeah i still remember the plane episode with the gremlins

i think twilight zone is getting rebooted again
it is since april!!!
yeah we were discussing it, William says it isn't exactly great

not sure after reading the synopsis of the episodes
Yeah, i didn't have any expectations for the reboot when I heard about it
im sad about it, i want a lot of things rebooted or given sequels
I need to go back and watch the Hey Arnold ending
You suffer from post series depression, as many others do
but hey arnold is completed ๐ข

im only gonna watch it to say I've watched all the marvel stuff. That first season was pretty great though
crimson lance
Thought all of those got canned
knotty fox
Yea the first season was great
The second season was eh
They got canned while S3 was in production
So this will be the final season
neon coral
amazon is lame right now
i started a show because it shows all the season but I can only watch the first 3
knotty fox
That's weird as crap

stupid amazon is now asking me for my order number in response to me pointing out they have incomplete series on their video service that show as complete

there will never be an end to xmen movies

Well I don't think they'd do a dark phoenix intro movie not to use her in later movies

the xmen franchise is very confusing to me

at least in the context of the timeline

time line is fucked

Yeah it's like a midquel

I hate jennifer Lawrence as mystique
graceful saffron
why is that?
sonic quail
I heard the costume design was peoples biggest complaint
I mean im indifferent toward her in general. But ive heard that concern often.
Shes meh
The new xmen movies just dont
Idk man i feel like theyre just....๐ด๐ด
Days of future past was fun tho and first class
๐ค strag
What is about the new xmen that just dont hit the same
The writing? The acting?
I canโt pinpoint it
stuck vector
i dont like jlaw as mystique either
knotty fox
I need to watch Logan
Do I have to see any other X-Men movies before that one? Excluding Deadpool 1 I havenโt seen any

Heard Dark Phoenix was bad enough to make X3 look good, big yikes

I don't get how they don't age in the span of 30+ years

Least now Fox can't screw around with the X-men anymore, really curious to see how the MCU handles them
runic dirge
fantastic episode
absolutely dripping tension the entire time with a flawless payoff
crimson lance
shae's still a major bitch
they made her smart-ish since her introduction then they make her unable to think about why he might send her away
runic dirge
Shae was never much of anything
she was a vehicle for pulling some more of Tyrion's character out into view and had some fun interactions with other characters and Sansa but she was never all that interesting
calm sun
Actor used to be a pornstar
runic dirge
she served her purpose well but her purpose isn't very interesting
the tent drinking scene was good
and from then on it's broadly a blur
and the trial scene was good obviously but mostly because Tyrion was there to play off of her
calm sun
||not in the books ๐||
runic dirge
I attribute that more to Tywin
I don't hold anything against Shae, I just don't care
I do like her
but not very much
calm sun
Shae looked hotter in the books
regal root
A pity they deviated from a major plot featuring both Tyrion and Jaime at the end of Season 4 ๐
But then again they didn't add a certain big piece to that scenario so it wouldn't have been as powerful is they pulled it

my brain went to Will Ferrel instead

But it blows my mind when I see budgets for some amazing visual movies like Hayao Miyazaki films
And they're fractions of the average blockbuster
calm sun
The new Aladdin has one original song which will probably win an Oscar
But the way it's presented is so hilariously bizarre
I'm not a good judge of music so idk if it's good or not
But I was laughing out loud when it happened

They finally got a director for the Black Adam movie

ygrittes and jon was so much better than dany and jon
neon coral
fuck olly
crimson lance
before he killed jon i thought "yeah he kinda sucks but he didnt know better"
Then he fucking killed jon
regal root
I mean to a degree you can understand where he's coming from, the dude he looks up to suddenly allows Wildlings like the ones who murdered and ate his parents into the realm. Him being pissed is justified, him murdering Jon though was not
neon coral
Wildlings should've ate his parents 12 years before they actually did
regal root
But the little shit isn't even canon so who cares? ๐คท

||Jon saved his life he couldve at least spared jons ie not take part in the stabbing||-GOT SPOILERS

Does anyone remember the petition to remake season eight of GOT? ๐
crimson lance
They do things
but only when they matter
something over petty shit like this will never work
dim hedge
The season cost them
almost a hundred mil to produce, a petition isn't going to do anything
crimson lance
not the only reason why
but yeah
pettiotns are worthless for petty stuff like this
dim hedge
Yeah, there are hundreds of reasons as to why they wouldn't be able to
the cost is just something that came to mind
dim hedge
Now we can only hope that the prequels are not bad and that GRRM actually drops the book next year
neon coral
he'll drop before his book does.
dim hedge
neon coral
GoT books are like half life 3 as far as I'm concerned
No matter what the final product is, the hype around it would be so elevated, that its just guaranteed disappointment. Better off not writing it at all and leaving it up to the fans to speculate what was meant to happen. Kinda like a Nolan film
cold dock
I still don't get the GoT hype
crimson lance
Have you tried watching it
You cant really understand it if you dont give it a try
cold dock
I have seen clips and know the gist of the story
dim hedge
That isn't enough to understand the hype
That is equivalent to reading the OP wiki to catch up
dim hedge
You're asking too much of me, I can point you towards the show or books
You have to do the rest yourself
neon coral
If you haven't seen Breaking bad, watch that instead.
neon coral
good man

Breaking bad is great

good show until ||s7||

I still havent finished it though
I find it hard to watch in s4
Not becaues its bad

@sonic quail haha. I was trying to find a picture I saw a while back. Somebody designed a pinball table where her eyebrows were the paddles.
regal root
The Ice and Fire books are actually fantastic, how dare you
dim hedge
regal root
Plus unlike Dumb&Dumber GRRM actually cares enough to write a well paced, coherent story from start to finish
Most likely because it's his baby but still
dim hedge
He seems to have forgotten about his baby or is taking a while with it recently 
neon coral
He's been writing other things entirely instead of his books lol
regal root
He is a notoriously slow writer after all, his own damn fault for getting caught in content creep
Still though, Winds has amazing set up
Gonna start with 2 big battles
neon coral
eventually. lol
I wonder how much of his time went into his latest project, and how it affected the next GoT books
regal root
No clue, but at least he's given a hard dead line for himself to get Winds done by Summer of next year
neon coral
he's done that before though.
regal root
But not for a very long time
neon coral
doesn't really mean much. nothings gonna happen if he doesn't deliver and now he's working on video games
regal root
We'll see what happens though
You know what I'm really curious about for Winds though?
crimson lance
He is working on many shows and a video game
regal root
Really looking forward to getting more info on ||Young Griff|| aka ||the man claiming to be Rhaegar's thought to be dead son Aegon Targaryen||, could he be legit or are the fan theories right and he's actually ||a Blackfyre||? Maybe he's just some random dude from ||Pentos|| after all considering the ||silver hair and violet eyes Targaryens|| are known to have aren't exclusive to them.
crimson lance
guy is taking too many projects
so ||Rheagar targaryens son in the books exist publicly? and who is his mom?||
regal root
||Elia Martell||
regal root
But because D&D are hacks they decided to make Jon's name that as well
crimson lance
Targaryns are shit at naming
regal root
Also in the books it wasn't only the Mountain
There was another dude named Amory Lorch who was one shot in Season 2 by Jaqen
But in the GoT universe it was only the Mountain
regal root
His death in the books is more gruesome than how he died in show though
He got ||eaten by a bear at Harrenhal||
crimson lance
He is working on another game
Its not a rumor
Wait another game
Which oen
I know Elden ring
neon coral
yeah i think its just elden ring. got leaked today
regal root
@crimson lance So there is this conspiracy going on in the books featuring ||Varys, Illario Mopatis (the dude from the first season/book who housed Dany and her brother and gave her the dragon eggs, and a man named Jon Connington who was once one of the Mad King's Hands.|| Basically the claim is that this young dude named ||Young Griff|| is actually ||Rhaegar's son from his marriage to Elia Martell named Aegon|| and that on the day that King's Landing was sacked by the Lannister Army ||Varys snuck into the tower and swapped Elia's baby with some random baby from Flea bottom that has been referred to as the Pisswater prince||
regal root
And that after that happened ||Varys had him raised by Illario in Pentos in secret as a commoner to grow up humble and learn how to become a good leader||
crimson lance
might ask for them for my birthday
regal root
Now as illogical as it sounds that he could've pulled that off that is the story the characters have been going with in universe
There are however 2 popular fan theories currently floating around surrounding him though
1 is that ||he's a Blackfyre||, the other is that ||he's just some random kid who has similar features to the Targaryens that Varys wants to pass off as being legit||
Given the choices I'm leaning towards to former being the truth
neon coral
could he be who he claims he is?
crimson lance
yeah
regal root
I mean if you really believe that ||Varys could've pulled that off in time|| than sure
neon coral
that sounds more interesting than those theories to me
regal root
Him being legit would be quite a twist, I just can't see it though
neon coral
all the plots and subplots in the books sound so much more interesting than anything ive seen on the show.
regal root
Because if he is than ||R + L = J|| isn't gonna matter since he'd be the eldest born ||legit son||
They really are, they cut a lot of out the show that would've been cool as hell to see unfold
crimson lance
the book can be in more depth because it has an infinite budget
neon coral
infinite deadline too, haha.
dim hedge
neon coral
I started the first book a long time ago but dropped it because I was waiting on the series to be complete. If the next book does come out next year, then I'll read them all for sure
regal root
Also really curious to see what ||Varys|| is up to in books, if the last actions he pulled off at the end of Dance were ||to help out "Aegon"|| or if he has something else planned
dim hedge
I also plan to read all the books if GRRM actually drops TWOW
calm sun
Twow isn't the last book
crimson lance
its not
but if he finishes twow
he can get started on the spring one
part of his issue is bringing everything to a conclusion
this book would bring them closer which would help out
calm sun
If you're waiting for the series to be complete don't start when twow drops
There is no telling about the last book
Also he'll probably split one or both of the last two books into two parts
dim hedge
Yeah I am aware it isn't the last book
neon coral
Same. But the way people talk about it, once the next one is out, the momentum will be going and there won't be a decade wait until the final book. And then, once the last one is out, I can just read that instead of having to play catch up
calm sun
I wouldn't count on that
runic dirge

unfortunately books are much older than something like comics and this shift is all but impossible for the world to process

I can safely say that this is the best consistently written sitcom I've seen in a long time

loool

@pale tapir Glad you're enjoying it. Danny Devito is awesome in it
pale tapir
Yes, he's a comedic genius
It was such a good one!
Everything with Rickety Cricket was hilarious 
The Night Man Cometh?
Oh shit yes
That episode was hilarious
Seeing Charlie put all that gas into those trash cans was the best
Lol when they were watching their funeral through the vents was hilarious
I think so far, the dance off has to be my favorite
It had everyone in it. Well, that or the poop one
YEP
The Liberty Bell one was pretty ridiculous, but at that point I was so invested into It's Always Sunny, I didn't even mind
I'm pretty pumped for season 5
I've been going through it so fast though
Like, I've been passively watching 6 or 7 episodes a night
Without even meaning to because I'm enjoying it so much
I can't wait to go rewatch all of them
pale tapir
Yes it is, I didn't even realize there was a running story going on until like, the end of Season 2
neon coral
the moment my memory of the episodes gets a bit hazy, its fun to rewatch
