meh
mighty mist
I heard some not-so-nice things about The Walking Dead. 😦
mighty mist
Yeah. 😦
crimson lance
Also got rid of the main character and his backup main character so rip
neon coral
and one was for financial reasons. It's veered way off course from the comic
mighty mist
Bummer. 😦
scenic terrace
Wait, ||Rick actually died?|| 
sage sleet
nope
||he got injured then a helicopter took him away||
the second half of season 9 is much better
show is still messed up but it's nice things got better
have a few episodes left
scenic terrace
I dropped it sometime in s3 but would watch random episodes on amc sometimes
sage sleet
it's one of those shows I watch when I have nothing else to watch
pale tapir
If y'all are looking for something new to watch and have prime I recommend Good Omens
Very entertaining show
pale tapir
Well, as long as you're not offended by exploiting religion for comedy
pale tapir
Which show?
sonic quail
pale tapir
pale tapir
Bububububbbbubut...
pale tapir
sonic quail
pale tapir
sonic quail
i watched the first episode might come back to it
pale tapir
sonic quail
Idk where its going
pale tapir
It's good, the third episode is probably my favorite
It gets very good
Sadly I think it's over
sonic quail
Its like what 6 sodes?
sonic quail
pale tapir
I wanna start something similar
sonic quail
Maybe
pale tapir
But I can't find anything 
Also if you don't like that, but are interested in other limited series
Try The Night Manager
pale tapir
Has anyone watched Dark on Netflix?
scenic terrace
When it came out, so it's been a while
sonic quail
Ive watched s1 as well when it came out
Gotta rewatch it tho
As adamas said
Its been a while
Good show tho
Would reccomend
sonic quail
Have fun boyo
scenic terrace
And since you're a weeb, you can even watch it in the german dub with english subtitles
since you're used to subtitles
scenic terrace
That's not a drag
sonic quail
Just exposed all of us
scenic terrace
my filthy family made us do the english dub
sonic quail
Oof
scenic terrace
and having the english voices not fit with the moving mouths is just unsettling
sonic quail
People hate subtitles until they get use to them
Ikr
I hate that
When i was visiting my fam in NC and had subtitles they would lose their shit and im over here like 
. I cant hear for shit yall i need this!
scenic terrace
That was me with GoT
i was like, i cant tell what this accent dude is saying, i need muh subtitles
and they were just like, NO SUBTITLES 😡
crimson lance
I had subtitles on the whole time but i mostly understood things
its just when they spoke dothraki or valyrian or the other made up languages that i needed subtitles
sonic quail
Smh. They’re not even that bad.
crimson lance
sometimes they had no fucking subtitles for the dothraki and it made me mad
scenic terrace
That's what glasses/contacts are for
crimson lance
Just move the tv closer
sonic quail
A few years
Im also near and far sighted too tho. That’s not always an option just cry with me smfh
scenic terrace
Are you not covered under your parents insurance
I can get new glasses like every 2 years
sonic quail
Nope
regal root
You know what was a small thing that was weird with the final season of GoT (remember I said small, we all know there is plenty big) is why when Grey Worm's name was said in Valyrian they didn't translate it in english to Grey Worm, they made it Torgo Nudho.
Like what? We all know his name is Grey Worm, nobody is referring to him by his Valryian name
regal root
It's probably true
wicked loom
Man s8 was an entire mess
Really didnt stick the landing
Ig the joy really was the journey
dim hedge
Just finished the crimes of Grindelwald
crimson lance
I have no interest in that but i watched a video on it one time and it said its bad so was it bad
crimson lance
Spiderverse on american netflix which is pretty nice
dim hedge
I rented that like 3 weeks ago, I'm just gonna stop renting and wait for Netflix go have it
calm sun
I watch Jaiden animations on YouTube, she's pretty funny
regal root
She's the one who fit in a Pewd's chair cause they wouldn't include him in rewind right?
calm sun
yes
regal root
Good on her
pale tapir
That's not something that needs much thought, atla is pretty much one of the greatest tv series of all time. I believe it to be fact
dim hedge
I haven't watched it in years, dunno where to go to even stream it
placid blaze
crimson lance
I want to watch avatar but its so long and not on netflix which discourages me
Also isnt there alive action series made by the Original guys for netflix
dim hedge
its coming out soon i think
crimson lance
when does avatar get good
cause i want to watch this shit but i feel like im wasting time
copper phoenix
you mean the movie or the show?
crimson lance
show
crimson lance
just ive watched the first dozen episodes a few times and they kinda boring
I know the series is good but god damn they boring even on the first watch
copper phoenix
lol
I guess it gets less episodic from mid-season 2 or something so that might be less boring to you
with the introduction of earth benders and shit
crimson lance
ye the blind girl seems interesting
getting tired of the only good character being fire lord sons
copper phoenix
iroh tho
dim hedge
Avatar is more about the journey than the destination
copper phoenix
its about the destination too, at least character wise
mighty mist
Same, but Bryke fucked up on some parts.
copper phoenix
true 
pale tapir
Season 1 was pretty good too, just dropped the ball hard towards the end
Season 2 though... Besides everything about Wan... Oof 🤢
copper phoenix
I enjoyed the spirit world lore
mighty mist
Watching season two made me want to stab out my retinas from all the Makorra and Boleska which are HORRIBLE pairings, btw! DX
pale tapir
Yeah same, that was really good, seeing iroh again was nice
tribal tundra
@crimson lance i get u regarding it being boring and the good parts feel like shit u already seen, i watched it when i was a kid and really enjoyed it, tried to watch it again but it was a bit boring
It was good for the times standards, or maybe it didnt hit us because our expectations were too high ? Idk
Ive never seen the end tho, which is why i decided to watch it again after so many years
wicked loom
Nah
Best thing about the series were its lessons it taught.
There was a level of sophistication to the story that u dont often see in kids shows
It dealt with rough topics like genocide, erasure in history, overcoming grief and abuse, self love, i could go on and on.
There’s a reasons its heralded as one of the best western kids shows.
copper phoenix
also the beautiful martial arts animation
and its not only for the times standards, atla still holds strong even today
you probably just expected something else
sonic quail
Avatar the last airbender i believe is what he’s talking about, recieved.
And he’s also correct
calm sun
Atla wasn't that well animated
sonic quail
Id say it was good enough but im also no animation expert. 🤓
calm sun
Korra was animated better
sonic quail
Yea some of the action sequences in korra were 😫👌
S4 with the metal bending
S3 with zaheer and co
copper phoenix
korra was indeed animated better but atla aired in 2005, the animation is as solid as you could possibly ask for
crimson lance
Yeah thats how im experincing it pretty much casa
except i also watched it twice cause i wanted to watch the whole series and dropped it
mighty mist
@pale tapir I agree. It was cool seeing Iroh again. ^^
pale tapir
I feel like because I grew up with ATLA I appreciate it more cause I watched it develop in real time
So a lot of small things becoming the stones for really good development and cooler fights were really appreciated
crimson lance
It aired when i was a toddler but it was still running while i was a kid
but back when i didnt understand the concept of things like seasons or reruns and watched episodes out of order and shit
mighty mist
Amen, Strong-Right. 😄
pale tapir
Well William, a good example is Zuko's conflict with Azula. That aagni Kai is unforgettable 
@mighty mist 
Moon knows what's up
mighty mist
Thanks. 😄
mighty mist
Damn.
pale tapir
Aw damn, that's when it gets pretty interesting
Some stuff happens after this episode that really develops zuko and iroh's relationship
mighty mist
Yup.
wicked loom
Zuko is awesome
My biggest issue with atla is they shouldve done more with ozai
He couldve been more fleshed out
This is the guy thats caused so much pain for a lot of the main characters in the show. And we got so little of him
stuck vector
i love atla!!!!
sokka and toph are my fav characters, and zuko is also pretty high up the ranks
vapid marlin
pale tapir
Zuko's got kind of a predictable arc, but... It's done so well, I ain't even mad 
dim hedge
Iroh ranks higher then Toph 
TBH as a kid, I didn't see Zuko switching sides
That show was the perfect cartoon
Korra was a pretty interesting show, enjoyed S1 and 3 a lot but having a new villain each season made it feel rushed aside from maybe season 1
sage sleet
I'd love to see more from the avatar universe
a show on the kyoshi warriors and aang and gang after aatla
would be sick
dim hedge
Yeah, they are technically considered canon
the Zuko mom arc was pretty good
We are currently in the 'imbalance' arc in the comics
basically Aang has to try to control the non-bender and bender conflict, it is pretty obvious that this is how Republic City and the United Republic Of Nations are created
Legend Of Korra has it's own set of comics coming out, I read one and it wasn't as interesting as the ATLA comics
neat linden
Korra is ughhhhhh
dim hedge
Supposedly the ATLA creators had an option between starting a new series or making an ATLA season 4
neat linden
Ye but TLA ended pretty well
dim hedge
Yup, I hope Netflix does a decent job with their live action adaptation
I don't have a lot of hope though especially after the pile of shit night shyamalan made in 2010
neat linden
I even forgot about it
dim hedge
Hard to forget 
neat linden
But most of the time I refer to it as Legend of Aang because here in my area, a misspelling of "airbender" means "penis bender" so yeah
dim hedge
Aang was a penis bender of sorts
pale tapir
If we got something from aang's era, like the kyoshi warriors, I'd be happy tbh @sage sleet
Also there are some comics
I read a few, sadly they weren't as memorable for me as the show itself, but they weren't bad
mighty mist
@dim hedge Yeah, one of my gripes with TLOK was how short the seasons were.
@pale tapir I haven't read the comics, but I know enough about what happens in them.
crimson lance
finished s2 of avatar
crimson lance
damn they just had toph use a metorite to make the old nickeloden logo
haughty sapphire
The walking dead final chapter 
regal root
Read about the latest TWD story line, sucks that ||Rick|| died but it'll be interesting to see how Kirkman finally ends it
regal root
16 years is a hell of a run for a non superhero related comic
dim hedge
@pale tapir @sage sleet We are getting a novel that focuses on Kyoshi's life
Since Netflix is picking up Avatar for a live action, wonder if they could either do a prequel to ATLA showing the different avatars, or a third series showing the avatar after Katara should be an earth bender iirc.
Do you mean an Avatar after Korra?
Yes. Idea one showing previous avatars, Idea two the avatar after Korra
Yes, I now see I fucked up and said Katara instead of Korra
Yeah, sorry you had me confused for a second
but having a new series revolve around an Avatar after Korra would be difficult
I would love an adaptation of the comics
dim hedge
regal root
I honestly do believe an avatar live action could work but ffs get some competent writers on it. Korra started out good the first season then tampered off the remainder of the way and the M Night movie was 
.
haughty sapphire
How can anyone think this is ugly. Jack Kirby was a legit God of character creation D: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91NIAm6EUrL.jpg
mighty mist
Miss you, Stan. 😦
pale tapir
I actually liked the seasons after 10, 13 wasn't as good, but I heard Glenn howerton coming back because his old show was cancelled will improve the writing again @neon coral
pale tapir
Yeah, obviously there was something missing for parts of the season
The escape room episode was the best one imo
It was the classic it's always sunny dynamic
neon coral
It felt so off. The all women episode was okay but it was an already existing episode with a new cast practically, and the one right after it wasn't bad but I stopped there
pale tapir
Yeah the plane one?
neon coral
ill check out the rest
pale tapir
It was meh
neon coral
it just felt like a political statement mixed in with some toilet humour
pale tapir
I'll say the first half of the season was good
neon coral
oh and the lottery ticket episode with the asspounder
pale tapir
Except the third episode
neon coral
that one was great
pale tapir
The asspounder episode was fantastic 
I liked how it was heartfelt in an "it's always sunny" way
When ||Mac came out||
It was so perfect how the episode had almost nothing to do with it
Until the end ofc
pale tapir
That was the funniest shit ever
When they were talking about the n word and the context of it
neon coral
haha
pale tapir
Lol the making Dennis a murderer was great too
neon coral
That's one of the reasons I consider the latest season to be weaker. I could rewatch old ones and love them just as much as the first time. No interest in doing that with the latest one
neon coral
me and my friend found an old vinyl copy of "The Wiz" shortly after the episode aired
pale tapir
But it also had the whole gang in it lol
neon coral
is that the one where he upgrades, makes a friend and finds out that guy has the best range rover model in his garage?
pale tapir
Yes lol
neon coral
that ending
pale tapir
Lmao yeah, I wonder if they killed the kid 
neon coral
well im glad the next season is back with everyone. I'm gonna catch up on the new season this week
crimson lance
For some reason this one episode of avatar is quiet as fuck
My speakers my computer and the website are all set to max and its just almost as loud as the previous episode
dim hedge
Which episode?
crimson lance
On the last 5 episodes
dim hedge
odd, must be from the source you use
The new couple of episodes after Zuko joins are massive character development episodes
regal root
I thought it was alright, had some jokes here and there. Nothing to write home about
crimson lance
huh i never realized the bad guy in Justice league was called stepphen wolf
I thought that was his actors name and everyone just reffered to him as that
regal root
Nah that was Ciaran Hinds, Steppenwolf is Darkseid's uncle and underling
crimson lance
shazam was alright
felt like every actor including the children and their ||powerup form|| was pretty shit except for the one playing shazam
and the parents did an okay job
regal root
How sexy was ||adult Darla||?
crimson lance
The actress looked okay but i wasnt really focusing on it
regal root
Like dude, you cannot have a woman who looks like that say the sentence "I've been a very good girl" in the tone she used
tribal tundra
Wasn’t it meant to be shitty for comedic purposes? I mean just look at shazam’s costume haha
Looks like one of those superman costumes kids used to buy with the fake muscles and shit
dim hedge
regal root
I wouldn't say it was shitty, it's a lighthearted superhero character
Wasn't great but it certainly wasn't shitty
dim hedge
Movie was definitely better than most of the DC super hero movies
regal root
Prim that is a stretch
dim hedge
Wonder Woman was probably my favorite
tribal tundra
It wasn’t shitty purposely because of the light heart tone of the movie like u said
regal root
Costume could've been better for sure, but it wasn't the worst thing ever
tribal tundra
And yeah i agree about it being better than most dc movies
crimson lance
the costumes were fine
tribal tundra
I hope the joker will replace it
dim hedge
Im just not a big fan of the DC franchise they've been pretty awful
regal root
They're not rebooting it, the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie is a standalone separate film from the DCEU
It looks really good
dim hedge
Then what's the point of it?
regal root
Money
crimson lance
To make money
dim hedge
If it doesn't tie into anything or the character isn't gonna appear elsewhere
tribal tundra
Yeah and its a more grounded approach, its more about mental disorders and the society’s view on it
regal root
Then it's just a movie for fun (and money)
tribal tundra
At least thats what i got from it
regal root
Not everything has to tie into one grand universe
tribal tundra
And its in the 80s right?
dim hedge
Sounds like they're giving up on the DC universe
regal root
Believe so
dim hedge
Or at least seems like that
regal root
They replaced Ben Affleck as Batman with the dude from Twilight, so that might not be far off the mark
dim hedge
They've received a lot of flak for their movies though
regal root
Most of the people criticizing it are doing so because they're not doing it like the MCU
Peeps got to grow up a tad
dim hedge
I haven't seen Justice League and I'm not sure I ever will
crimson lance
i saw it its not much
dim hedge
Was weird to have characters that haven't had movies
regal root
I'll watch it if they ever release the Snyder cut
dim hedge
Saw a synopsis and the plot seemed awful
regal root
Well that's usually what happens when you hamfist a team up movie together
mighty mist
I'd rather watch Shazam than Captain Marvel, anyway.
sage sleet
Aquaman and shazam are my favorite DC movies
I think joker will be really good
wonder woman was also great
sage sleet
when you try to do the dc universe free trial but accidentally buy a year long membership
hot dog
wicked loom
Oof
sage sleet
just got my tax return so we're in the clear
mighty mist
But, tax season's over. 😐
dim hedge
Tf did it take so long to get your taxes back
mighty mist
Oh. 😐
pale tapir
So, has anyone been to see Spider-Man Far From Home yet?
pale tapir
I'm going to see it tonight
sonic quail
I hope u have a great time asshole 
pale tapir
So, why not? 
sonic quail
pale tapir
dim hedge
Apparently fresh Prince of Bel air is on Netflix
neon coral
It's been there for 8 years here lol
wicked loom
Lol
neon coral
that sucks
Netflix has a tendency to remove stuff and readd them a few months later and they act like its new content
pale tapir
Lol funny thing is, I used my VPN to watch all of It's Always Sunny on Netflix UK
Plus you guys have Brooklyn Nine nine and avatar iirc
So. Definitely some good shit we're missing
neon coral
Canada's got b99 and avatar but no sunny
pale tapir
Yep, honestly Netflix us is hit or miss
They added Spiderverse -hit, but removed Always Sunny - miss
crimson lance
they removed always sunny wtf
thats like one of their big binge shows everyone watches isnt it
Along with the office Friends parks and rec and some other things
pale tapir
Holy poop, 90's Spidey was on Netflix Canada?!??!?? 
neon coral
ya, for a while. 90s x men too
crimson lance
netflix us isnt bad
dim hedge
But yeah at least we had Avatar, re-watched it like 3 times
dim hedge
A little VPN doesn't hurt anybody 
pale tapir
This is true @dim hedge
dim hedge
tribal tundra
Yeah but most ppl either watch netflix on a smart tv or video game console
And yeah canada’s netflix is bad :’(
dim hedge
Anyone finished Stranger Things S3 yet
wicked loom
Just started
dim hedge
Same
pale tapir
Spider-Man Far From Home was so good
It was pretty similar to Homecoming in tone, but it had a bit more to offer in terms of Peter's duality. Plus a much bigger budget, but that was a very good thing
dim hedge
I have one Spiderman and his name is Tobey Maguire
wicked loom
Tobey was meh
dim hedge
copper phoenix
you may not like but that's what peak acting looks like
pale tapir
I like Tobey a lot, but after Far From Home I think Tom and Tobey on about the same level
spring patrol
Tom's starting to rub off on me
i really enjoyed the original ones with toby but starting to like these new ones also
scenic terrace
I like Tom Holland a lot but I can’t deny a big reason for that is he’s hot
Also the new Spider-Man movie was fantastic. Although I think ||edith should have recognized quentin beck in the bar and that’s sort of a plothole. Also when Tom Holland said execute them all I got ptsd from code geass and lo and behold, that phrase was used against him||
spring patrol
i dont think tom is an amazing actor but i think these new spiderman movies fit him okay
barren temple
I think hes a good actor for the spiderman character hes playing
Otherwise idk. Id love to see something where he doesnt have to speak with an american accent
dim hedge
im almost done with episode one
crimson lance
of?
dim hedge
but im dealing with other shit rn so idk if i'll get to it
crimson lance
too many kid actors, and monster shows arent interesting to me
dim hedge
its basically IT
crimson lance
i liked the It movie but stranger things is longer and less didnt catch my attention
dim hedge
to each their own, i enjoy it lol
hoary hawk
same
ik once I start, i wont stop
so idk if I should rn lmao
im also tryna go watch spiderman
hoary hawk
if so
he chooses shitty universes to hop into
hes either getting chased around by a freak clown
sonic quail
Damn
hoary hawk
or having the unknown creatures come for his crew 24/7
sonic quail
Damn
hoary hawk
why not something fun lmao
hoary hawk
and not life threatening
sonic quail
Tbh IT had me fucked up for a while
hoary hawk
send me into a futuristic universe where gamers rise up
lol it was funny 4 me
becuz the theatre I watched it in
on one of the pop up scare scenes
one dude just got up, and ran out so fast
and everyone was like 'i feel that'
jolly flint
@chilly inlet is there a specific order to read them?
chilly inlet
It’s pretty straight forward
The hobbit > Fellowship > two towers > return of the king >
jolly flint
I've only seen the Fellowship movie
chilly inlet
Movies are amazing adaptations
chilly inlet
But. They leave out a BUTT ton of information
chilly inlet
No of course not but of the 4 it’s my favorite
And it gives you backstory for bilbo sooooo
chilly inlet
It’s small, just read it it’s good
spring patrol
the hobbit is a good read
crimson lance
Cant wait for the new it movie
chilly inlet
lol my dad enjoyed the first part
And despised the last
He COMPLETELY spoiled everything for me but that’s fine.
crimson lance
I was watching the old version of part 2 a few months ago
Dont remember much cause i hardly payed attention
chilly inlet
Ahhh
Cool lol
Maybe they’ll change it idk
I really enjoyed this other king novel
Called “the outsider”
It’s lengthy but it’s really good
I enjoyed it
crimson lance
I enjoyed the outsiders
crimson lance
I was suprised when you said that, because i thought He made The outsiders
chilly inlet
The film?
crimson lance
Its a book and a film
chilly inlet
The outsider* by Steven King is not the same as the outsiders*
I haven’t heard of or seen s
chilly inlet
Honestly
chilly inlet
Heck lol
Well, the book, unrelated, titled THE OUTSIDER, is a very good HORROR NOVEL by Steven King
Lol
dim hedge
Will is such an annoying character now
gray scroll
stranger things is lit
pale tapir
I'm about to start the third season, hopefully it won't disappoint
scenic terrace
Watched 4 episode of the latest Stranger Things season. Probably the best season yet
pale tapir
Nice Adam, I'm on the second episode. Feels kinda slow so far, but I'm sure it'll pick up
barren temple
Ive noticed that each season has a corresponding holiday theme. First season was mostly before christmas with christmas stuff around, second season was halloween and things got noticeably more creepy and cthulhu-esque, third season is 4th of july themed and again it fits
Wonder what the 4th season will be
🗡
barren temple
Bro the story just keeps building in the most interesting ways
Lovecraft would be proud
"Too many child actors" as a complaint triggers me so much idk why
crimson lance
Child actors often bad and too many of them means too many bad actors
altough idk if thats the case with stranger things
crimson lance
I dont like the kid who also stars in IT
and the kid with the missing teeth or w/e it is
barren temple
He fits his role perfectly
And idk who else youre talking about cuz i havent seen IT but he also has a role he fits well im pretty sure
barren temple
Well different strokes for different folks i guess
In terms of lovecraftian stories though, you cant find anything better right now
barren temple
Says the person who watched to season 3 when the kids were a big chunk of the whole story
sonic quail
I didnt
barren temple
sonic quail
barren temple
Ya gotta edit yer texts man
sonic quail
No
Kids are obnoxious
But i found them endearing more than anything
When i said kids
I meant kids in general
barren temple
You betrayed me just now
sonic quail
We can strap him down and make him watch then
crimson lance
oh no i dislike your show time to insult me
neon coral
rewatching homecoming and there's this cool callback to Tobey spidey vs Green goblin. When he calls the glider in and peter does a flip over it and it impales norman
the same thing happens with Vulture's suit. It comes at Spidey from behind and he flips. Minus the impalement.
lilac knoll
||the 3rd EP and daenerys running amok had bad things in them, but past that it was fine for my taste 
||
crimson lance
The plot was okay-ish
lilac knoll
||It was just god damn retarded that she really went ahead to kill everyone just because a friend of her died||
crimson lance
but they ruined john and daneryeys, euron sucked, jaime sucked, arya wasnt too great neither was sansa
lilac knoll
arya wasnt too great?
crimson lance
battle of the living, or what ever the final fight is called, was disapointing and had alot of bad things
lilac knoll
She was sucked off the most
crimson lance
Arya was very good early seasons
and okay in the seasons at bravos
but in s8 she wasnt as good
lilac knoll
especially in s8
crimson lance
no one else was as bad as him
he use to be so good the best in the show
well thats not true but so good
lilac knoll
||the thing that triggered me the most is arya stealkilling the night king||
||that should have been the season ending with john fighting that fight||
crimson lance
nah that was okay-ish
lilac knoll
In a 1 v 1
crimson lance
No way
White walkers have super strenght
the night king likley does too, and maybe even more
lilac knoll
ye but the swords are op
crimson lance
John somehow beating him in a 1v1 doesnt make sense
lilac knoll
Nah i dont mean like
Purely 1 v 1
More like john would attempt it
Get almost rekt
crimson lance
My biggest gripe of johns fight was how he didnt get to fight the dragon
lilac knoll
My dream scenario wouldve been
||john vs nightking on the dragons, just as they are about to fly across each other he jumps off to jump kill the night king. Now that would be some plus ultra anime shit||
And i would approve of it
crimson lance
would be cool but dumb
lilac knoll
ye extremely dumb but man
crimson lance
I like fights that seem like both people are using high as fuck level of skills
lilac knoll
Id nut to it
crimson lance
Like when Jaime or brienne fights
but fights between some large man like the hound are good too
also euron vs jaime fight sucked so much ass
lilac knoll
and yeah the conclusion was very meh
crimson lance
they both got stabbed in the ribs twice i think and just kept on going
lilac knoll
like the conclusion to the entire series
crimson lance
yeah
lilac knoll
That bran got the throne is fine. But everything else was just fucking stupid
crimson lance
Also idk if you know but grey worm and his guys are dead lol
lilac knoll
thank god
crimson lance
The island they're going to, Missendeis home, has a butterfly which carries a deadly disease
Only people born there are immune
lilac knoll
Then john could just return
lilac knoll
^
crimson lance
But john joining the widliings was decent imo
crimson lance
John becoming the new king beyond the wall is better than him becoming king of westeros
Drakaris?
Do you mean the dothraki
lilac knoll
like
crimson lance
Dragon saw his mother dead and john with a knife and just decided to attack the throne in a symbolic moment
then fly away
lilac knoll
If you reveal ||that hes a tagaryen||
crimson lance
The targaryen thing went nowhere which sucks
lilac knoll
And not make him be the owner of the dragon
crimson lance
In the books theres another person claiming to be who john is in the show
Which is more interesting
lilac knoll
like why does that dragon exist still?
so pointless
And yeah euron vs jamie was just utter trash
I didnt mind bc ||jamie "won"||
crimson lance
apparently book euron is some super badass
and i would of loved to see that
but the euron we got was pretty garbage
lilac knoll
^
But yeah in my ideal world
||the vs nightking wouldve been the seasons final fight||
||john would have become king and the dragon wouldve served him as the last male tagaryen tch||
crimson lance
that sounds like fan faction lol
like im not trying to be a super critc and pretend i understand the series
but that doesnt sound very got like
crimson lance
yeah but i mean it like in a bad way
lilac knoll
Y tho
crimson lance
idk
I just dont see got as something that only ends up being a battle between two guys
Especially since so much of the early seasons were trickery and plotting
lilac knoll
It had a lot of damn build up towards ut
crimson lance
It ending as a battle between this chosen hero, even though heroes have been killed before, vs this force of pure evil we hardly know is just boring
lilac knoll
||john vs the nightking as a 1 v 1 had to happen in my eyes, alongside bran as a lure||
||they just had the most meaningful interactions with him||
||arya on the other hand is just a really random pick to do it, nor was it executed in any good way||
||the guards of the nightking just happened to browse instagram stories lol||

Why do people seem to either love or hate The Last Jedi?
regal root
Critics love the The Last Jedi, people with actual taste hate it because it's a shit movie
sage sleet
critics love to suck dick
sonic quail
Well yea, especially with disney films. If they shit on the film they kinda put their access to other disney films at risk and thus their bottomline.
So i get that
The critics i watched however did not say the last jedi was good
And i dont use rotten tomatoes or imdb for judgement so i was surprised
sage sleet
disney could make a movie about a guy taking a shit on a dog for 2 hours and critics would lose their minds
jolly flint
Most critics I read said they loved Last Jedi
sonic quail
Yall should uh
Get better critics
Guys i look at mostly
Chris Stuckman
Let Me Explain (spoiler reviews tho)
Foundflix and Thinkstory (explanations mostly)
Occasionally Angry Joe
regal root
What sucks is even though it won't deserve it Episode 9 is gonna probably make 1.5 billion
regal root
Exactly
sonic quail
Its stupid tho
But it is what it is
And then dumb and dumber are making the next trilogy
regal root
And that hurts because Disney ain't gonna get the memo about shoveling shit to their consumers until the consumers get enough sense to hit them where it hurts, in their revenue
sonic quail
Yea
regal root
I feel so damn bad for kids growing up in their era thinking that this new trilogy is actually good
sonic quail
Hey man ignorance is bliss

I love Star Wars :/ Disney has been so disrespectful in how they've been using it
regal root
Except that E7 was just a knock off of E4, just minus the charm. E8 was a shit show because any plot points set up in E7 got yeeted out of existence because that whiny cuck Rian Johnson was in charge
So that practically guarantees E9 is gonna be a shit show as well, so much to the point that they have to bring back Lando and seemingly confirm that Palpatine is somehow alive again to increase hype
sonic quail
Eh
Id say 7 had charm
And also i dont remember what ep 4 was 😂
Movie was pretty fun and action packed. Which is about all i expect from a star wars movie
pale tapir
You know, I have to say, Dustin and Steve's relationship in stranger things is probably the best dynamic in the whole show rn
barren temple
Dustan is just a really good character in general. Hes probably so relatable to some watchers
I also enjoy || that will is either asexual or gay, which i guess which one depends on your personal headcanon ||
mint kiln
Weird thing to enjoy but okay
sonic quail
Or ya know || maybe hes been through so much that he just doesnt wanna focus on something like girls because he wants to keep things the same amd stable.||
barren temple
Also can we just talk about how great the cgi is? Its not like its that much to be focused on but you can tell the animators were careful to make every movement feel like it had weight to it
Its just weird seeing cgi and not immediately thinking about how not real it is. People are really considering gravity and movement in it and it makes everything feel so believable
pale tapir
Took about 3 episodes but shit's finally popping off!!
Hype to see what's next
Also yeah, the cgi is very good I agree
I'd put it in comparison with certain marvel movies as well
barren temple
Yeah its all about the intricate muscle movements and body flaps that people didnt think about years prior
Im excited for everyone going through this season
jolly flint
I wish they didn't confirm Palpy was still alive
barren temple
?
jolly flint
In the episode 9 trailer

Finished Stranger Things S3 the other day and I realized we don't know a whole lot about the upside down at alll
Or why the secret organization/russians want to access it or know about it at all
sonic quail
Yea
Maybe next season we get some backstory for it
It’d be crazy if like the first test subject is also the entity. Which could also be a deeper explanation as to why 11 can close and open the gates because she went under a similar experiment.
First subject experiment goes wrong and they end up in the Upside Down except its fine until they come along. Turned into some kind of monster and end up fucking everything up.
barren temple
I think there might be a lot more than just antagonism happening too. || we know that this rift between the two dimensions constantly tries to heal itself, and it even kinda seems alive || interesting to see if theres some story to that
sonic quail
Yea an explanation about what happened there would be cool.
I also want them to explore || the other experiments in some way despite people hating 8. Theres so much potential there for even another villain. It’s somewhat of a waste. Hell El could find another experiment thats actually dealt with their pain in a healthy way unlike 8.||
barren temple
Interesting
|| "the psychic brigade will be the heroes of this story from this point on" ||
sonic quail
Didnt that just include el, 8, and the people with them
And ||8 didnt seem like a hero to me.||
Or el
barren temple
Oh yeah i agree
Im just making jokes
Also i forget but i thought || 8 was the only one right? || like thats why her and El had a connection?
So much spoiler text

As someone that hasnt finished the season i appreciate y'all
but hopefully i finish it on either monday or tuesday

i just watched ffh and ||im going to fight mysterio ik he and spidey are literal enemies but i WILL fight him he didnt have to do peter like that||
crimson lance
Ffh good
mighty mist
Musn't...click on...spoilers...! Aah...!
sonic quail
@barren temple yea that was the only one we know she had direct contact with. But presumably given the numbers that are their names there could be more. Unless the numbers have a different meaning that i overlooked.
crimson lance
so did i miss the ||End credit of nick fury being a skrull, i had to leave before credits||
FFH spoilers
stuck vector
yes
@ will
ffh ||made me miss tony (hence the icon change) mcu really did him dirty like that, imagine saying tony stole quentins ideas like why do u have to butcher his character even in death||
pale tapir
Just finished the 4th episode of stranger things 3 AND all I can say is HOLY SHIT
@stuck vector I think the point Momo, was to illustrate that even Tony Stark wasn't perfect. ||That the legacy he left behind was good (Peter) and bad (Beck)||
That's why happy said that even Tony couldn't live up to Tony
But I do see your point, it was too soon after his passing in real time and the mcu for them to dredge up shit like that again
But it also does a pretty good job of showing that all of this mcu stuff happened because of what Tony Stark started and did
mighty mist
Okay.
stuck vector
@pale tapir yeah i get why they’d do that. there are a handful of scenes in ffh that reminded me of tony ||for instance the plane scene where peter was making his own suit with ac/dc in the background|| and tbh i’m kind of skeptical about the new phases because i’m Not Ready for a post tony stark universe akskakdksk
mighty mist
What? They couldn't get Ming-Na?

@mystic whale avoid the sequel
neon coral

Anything from Stephen Chow is amazing
knotty fox
I watch it yesterday
neon coral
his journey to the west movie was pretty fun too. And Love on Delivery is a classic
knotty fox
Fell in love with it in 20 mins
neon coral
the masters fight is still one of my favorite things ever
copper phoenix
watch shaolin soccer
knotty fox
I will. Atm I’m trying to catch up on some anime.
neon coral
Love on Delivery was oen of his first times directing I think. He's got a really unique comedy style and it works
knotty fox
I’m also thinking of watching the IP Man movies. Are they any good?
neon coral
the ones with Donnie Yen are, ya.
barren temple
Theyre all great if you love fun action scenes
The first movies probably the best with a gradual drop in quality like most movie series, but the 3rd movie has mike tyson speaking incredibly broken chinese so its still fun
pale tapir
Damn, stranger things season 3 has to be the best we've seen I think
pale tapir
Steve is so awesome Momo
But it definitely is better than 2 imo
Much more focused and has built up so well
I still have one episode to go, I'm gonna do that later
stuck vector
you're right!!! i hated steve in s1 but now im like. i will protect him
stuck vector
st3 spoilers ||but mike was such an ass this season flksdjfkldsj also, will, honey, please get better friends||
barren temple
|| well the whole thing sorta started because of hopper and small escalations kept on because of it. Mike thinking "theyre conspiring against me" is a bit jerky but understandable for me ||
|| also will is asexual in my headcanon just cuz ||
stuck vector
ur valid but personally i think ||will is gay :> and yeah i get mike's pov but he still made me :/ this season||
chilly inlet
Hm yes yes that is logical but ||im not reading the conversation I haven’t even seen season two||
hard rapids
haven't seen season 2 either yet
barren temple
Lmao
Yeah will is just up to your personal headcanon at this point
Also || opinions on hopper? Idk if hes dead but if hes not i dont think hed come back in his original state. If anything he might come back as a demigorgon if hes alive by my thoughts ||
stuck vector
||okay so personally i don’t want hopper to come back and pull a jon snow, plus i think they ended his character arc really well. but that ending makes me think otherwise because “not the american”||
barren temple
|| true, I definitely want hopper to stay dead, but some people seem to think its not the case. Stupid stuff better not happen though ||
devout temple
|| They ruined his sacrifice within like 10 minutes. I’ll be miffed if he doesn’t come back and that sacrifice was a waste ||

fuck star trek

Why are you talking about Star Trek if you hate it so much?
neon coral
speaking of bootlegs, I hate 1xbet. They've got rolling ads on cam recordings, and loud ads that block out movie audio.
neon coral
I tried watching Babylon 5 and it's so bad.
neon coral
old sci fi show from the 90s. I'd heard a lot of good things about it but the acting, and both set & character design is really bad.
their idea of an alien is a human with foundation on + gel'd back hair
tribal tundra
Its hard for me to like space movies that don’t respect space
copper phoenix
wdym respect space
pale tapir
Like they treat space like it's their own back yard?
hollow karma
Ones where they say bad words to space
knotty fox
tribal tundra
Yep exactly what @hollow karma said

neon coral
disney moveis always shoot above their goals, though.
regal root
Well it's been out a week and already has almost 600 million so they're on good track
hollow karma
If Sony having control of the franchise meant more movies like Spiderverse, then I'd want that
neon coral
it means more movies like venom
knotty fox
A Spider-Verse sequel has been confirmed
neon coral
they could do some pretty awesome stuff with the symbiotes in that art style
hollow karma
That'd be totally sweet

Finally finished Stranger Things S3. Final episode spoilers: ||Hop and billy's death didnt make me sad whatsoever but I did get sad when El read the note. I wish that the love plot for Hop and Joyce would have concluded by like episode 5 because holy shit it was so annoying and it wasn't even funny that Murray was basically just portraying how the audience felt. Rip Alexei, you were taken from us too soon.||
sonic quail
But did u enjoy it adam
neon coral
I'm glad that far from home dealt with ||the blip stuff right away. I guess my theory was right and I love it. Some people are just older||
neon coral
Loved how they handled ||Mysterio. I expected the plot twist since I knew the character. All the fights with him were on point. the character was great. Happy was good and I liked Spidey using the same Method Deku did in MHA with the shield + explosives to launch himself up||
Jon Favreau is the best
the credit scene ||HES BACK HES BACK HES BACK HES BACK HES BACK||
||WHAT THE SHIT||

@neon coral one of my idiot friends argued with me about ||jk simmons|| just being an Easter egg
neon coral
this is my favorite marvel movie to date
pale tapir
Like. Bruh, ||why the fuck would they do that unless they had recasted him||
neon coral
||I figure JJJ is gonna play a good role in the next film. I've no idea where they could go after that, though. Spidey being public enemy #1. Happy's gonna get to protect May. Flash is gonna do a 180 for sure||
first thing I did after the movie was go play spiderman with the new costume
