Then they retconned that and now they just both exist FeelsMoriaMan

sonic quail
#

Ok but like is them being ginger the reason they were popular in the first place NamiWut

tribal tundra
#

Is there any recent news about the op live action?

#

I know its most likely going to be trash, but it could work if they were inspired by one piece instead of being a direct copy. Like maybe the same lore and characters, but told with a different style of storytelling?

#

Cuz i highly doubt that exaggerated comic/dramatic way oda uses would work in a live action

#

But the director is the one who made luke cage which was pretty meh imo overall so yea...

sonic quail
#

There’d be a LOT of changes

#

It would definitely be something elsen

barren temple
#

Idk i mean guardians of the galaxy 2 had some of that same kind of cartoony stuff like OP so maybe they could pull it off.

fickle ember
#

We need a live action op so I can see them do mermaids FeelsMoriaMan

sonic quail
#

Omni you’ll be disappointed

#

Human mermaids wont live up to your 2D fantasy

fickle ember
cold dock
#

Please, remove live-action One Piece!

fickle ember
#

Can’t wait until they reach Zou in live adaption feelsdman

cold dock
#

That would be jokes to see

#

But seriously, we cannot have a One Piece live action

#

especially since foreign adaptions are usually terrible

#

Remember Supaida-Man

#

"I AM THE EMMISARY OF HELL!"

#

Fun fact: The Japanese Adaption of Spider-Man became the inspiration for Power Rangers

tribal tundra
#

Matt owens doesn’t feel like someone special anyway

#

Also needs more than just a good writer

cold dock
#

needs someone who respects the source material

#

and stays by it

tribal tundra
#

Oda did like him tho and apparently hes a fan

#

But even then i dont think a live action should be an exact copy or else i really dont see how they could pull it off

fickle ember
#

By spending lots of money

cold dock
#

Live action needs to follow the story though

#

and the action can be altered

#

to not blow the budget

#

They can omit some action or locations - but don't change the story and characters

#

that would lead to a severe amount of backlash

#

and eventual cancellation

tribal tundra
#

Yea the plot and lore needs to be similar or else theres no real point, i’d just go with a more grounded storytelling instead of the exaggerated one oda uses

#

Cus it wouldnt work well in a live action ino

#

Imo*

cold dock
#

That is why I'm saying that some locations can be omitted or altered

#

and the action could change to less fantastical

#

like make it a martial art movie-style for fight sequences

#

or just have Luffy gatling like this

#

Have Zoro fight like this

dim hedge
#

I want the live action

#

It will be funny and interesting

cold dock
#

Basically, Tarantino the action and have Bruce Lee-isms in the midst of it

#

while keeping some elements from Daredevil action

plucky leaf
#

I've never been a fan of live action adaptations.

limpid meadow
#

You can say that again ^

pale tapir
#

Just saw Joker

#

Damn, what a movie

neon coral
#

Ya, it was great. I loved it

cold dock
pale tapir
#

I couldn't believe ||How they set up the idea that Thomas Wayne is the Joker's father||

cold dock
#

OI

#

BE CAREFUL

#

SOME OF US HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET

#

like me...

#

Dammit, Strong.

#

Anyways, how are you!?

pale tapir
#

I put up a spoiler tag

cold dock
#

but you messed up b4

#

and fixed it

#

I saw it

pale tapir
#

Yeah. My bad, only a human cyborg WewLad

cold dock
#

But it was a cool spoiler nontheless

pale tapir
#

Sorry, trust me it goes deep into that particular concept. I don't wanna say anymore though

#

🤐

cold dock
#

okok

#

it has me intrigued though

pale tapir
#

Yeah, a lot happens

#

Interesting movie

north sun
#

New season of BoJack Horseman

#

||Ending it like that should be illegal||

homestuck 2!

#

I'm still in Season 1

ivory egret
#

gotta catch up on Blacklist
and I missed the last HTGAWM and Titans

signal nova
#

I saw blacklist and I just remembered the mentalist. That was sooo good (not mentioning the last 2 seasons Ofc)

little kettle
#

I love The Blacklist

#

And for me it was definitely much better than The Mentalist in the beginning.

#

The Mentalist was way too slow paced for me, I felt that everything was going to be gas only on the last 2 episodes. I'm definitely sticking with The Blacklist.

#

And in this genre, it's underated

ivory egret
#

the way Red talks

#

the mystique behind him

#

just immaculate

little kettle
#

My favourite character was Tom Keen though

#

But Red is making this show what it is, of course

ivory egret
#

Tom is cool and made me care for Liz

Cant wait for part 2 of bojack horseman s6

dim hedge
#

I just watched Halloween 1 for the first time

#

It was very good imo

crimson lance
#

halloween is the first horror movie i remember watching

dim hedge
#

I wanted to watch the second but I was way too tired to finish

crimson lance
#

I watched gangs of new york yesterday

#

Pretty good movie didnt like the end though

#

Everything up till ||Vallon is found out by Bill|| is perfect, everything after that is alright and the ending is bad except for the very last thing with the ||graves||

lament bay
#

The first horror movie I can remember watching was The Blair Witch Project and I'm not even sure if that's considered horror honestly

tribal tundra
#

Dope movie, uses fear of the unknown and no cheap scare tactics

lament bay
#

Then there's me who was terrified of the box cover

#

I was like 5 at the time

#

It's funny how actually scared I was I still remember the first time I saw the VHS cover XD

crimson lance
#

It was a horror movie yeah

#

Sadly it inspired more found footage m ovies

dim hedge
#

Halloween is sad

#

The only good thing to come out of it is the song 🙂

barren temple
#

Oh yeah the iconic song "this is halloween" right? Lawkins

knotty fox
young compass
#

none of those

#

but if you are dead set on those

#

calvin and hobbes

knotty fox
fickle ember
#

calvin and hobbes

cold dock
#

Garfield

#

Gilbert (or was it Dilbert)

sage sleet
#

calvin and hobbes easy

runic dirge
#

calvin and hobbes

#

because it's actually good

#

peanuts is boomer shit

#

and garfield went bad

#

Bill Watterson was on hiatus a lot and he cut the series when he was done with it to keep it from going to shit

#

he refused every merchandise deal that he got for the IP to keep it pure

fickle ember
#

You ever read bone roro

runic dirge
#

he strongarmed newspapers into giving him more space for his sunday strips where he broke all the rules and did whatever he wanted

#

and every newspaper that didn't comply just wasn't able to run his sundays

#

no

young compass
#

pearls before swine is a decent comic

runic dirge
#

Watterson was a badass cartoonist

fickle ember
#

I’ll make a note of it juba

runic dirge
#

if you can get your hands on the omnibusses of the comics, do so

#

they're at my library

#

I love them

cold dock
#

I had a friend who had all Calvin Hobbes omnibusses

runic dirge
#

they're heavy

cold dock
#

but haven't spoken to him for a couple years

#

and yeah

#

they are

runic dirge
sonic quail
#

Cool

runic dirge
#

can I just go back in time a decade or so

#

think I'm going to melt

fickle ember
#

One day when time travel is available for commoners, yes

cold dock
#

Unfortunately, you only can jump fowards

#

and not backwards

knotty fox
#

There’s a full collection of Calvin and Hobbes

#

I’m keeping my eyes on it

spring patrol

calvin and hobbes is a couple decades

teal sun

#

How old was that series? For some reason it still runs on my newspaper or something

cold dock
#

It is old

#

It ran between '85-'95

#

so it has been 24 years since

#

yeah, some newspapers do reprint strips

#

like Gilbert

OH SHIT ITS OUT I FORGOT

#

HALLOWEEN 3 SUCKS

#

What the fuck is this movie?!?

crimson lance
#

its not connected to the first 2

#

Its its own thing

dim hedge
#

@crimson lance I know. I don’t like it because the plot is just stupid and makes no sense.

#

How’s the 4th one?

crimson lance
#

No idea

#

never seen it

#

Only seen the newest one, and the first rob zombie one

dim hedge
#

I like how the conflict was resolved in the third one

crimson lance
#

Did you perhaps see a halloween video by a certaint youtuber today which inspired you to see this

dim hedge
#

No, my dad wanted me to. Why?

#

I would like to see the video

#

If there is a specific one you’re talking about

crimson lance
#

nothing specific just there was a review of all the halloween videos before rob zombie took over hte seris

dim hedge
#

Oh

#

That’s cool

#

The ending for 3 sucks, never mind about what I said before

#

Another asspull

#

||was Ellie a robot the whole time?||

#

I think he would have been able to tell when he... you know...

#

Never mind, ||she wasn’t||

sage sleet

#

@dim hedge I don't care for the Halloween follow-ups. I do love the first film.

sonic quail
#

Tony Stank

dim hedge
#

@mighty mist I think 2 is the best sequel. 4 is okay

mighty mist
#

That's fine.

sonic quail
#

No its not

#

Shame him

mighty mist

Why?

Cant wait for more man

I love the way hell is set up it makes a lotta sense

dim hedge

John wick 3 is pretty gooooooooooooood

dim hedge
#

halloween 3 is the best one

#

wym

#

and yeah the end was pretty ba

#

d

#

||everyone dies the end||

mighty mist
#

@barren temple Plus, there's a lot of misconceptions about Hell that I never realized until the show pointed it out. 😮

sage sleet
#

oh damn

#

GL show on HBO

sage sleet
#

so dc streaming service is gonna die

#

hbo max is where all dc content is going

fickle ember

I am shocked

Shocked I say!

Well not that shocked

#

D&D have quit/been fired from doing their star wars trilogy

#

These faks rushed s7 and s8 for something they're not even going to do now

@sage sleet NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

tribal tundra
#

Was he the father in the movie friday? That actor who died

#

And rip

mighty mist
#

Yes, he was. ):

crimson lance
#

they quit for their better deal with netflix

barren temple
#

John witherspoon died??? Thats too much

#

I thought he at least had a couple movies left in him. He didnt look unhealthy at all

smoky grail
#

"better deal with Netflix"

#

We all know they were fired

#

Who quits star wars lmao.

#

Even if the money was less, it was a movie TRILOGY. And the credibility it would have given would be much more. That's the way I see it

#

(not that their street cred is anything good lel)

tribal tundra
#

Agree

#

They also fucked up another movie post game of thrones afaik

#

Them being fired makes more sense tbh

crimson lance
#

Disney made it clear when they fired gunn

#

not sure why they would pretend not to fire these guys

fickle ember
#

Gunn was a different matter entirely, these guys (presumably) don’t have controversial tweets from ages ago that can be used as a reflection for what Disney supports or not by keeping them for work

crimson lance
#

yeah it was a different case but its the only one i can think of when they fired someone, seems like they make it clear if someone is fired or not

dim hedge
#

Star Wars fans must be rejoicing with that announcement

pale tapir
crimson lance
#

With how well joker is doing i hope DC does more creative things and steps away from the generic superhero movies

young compass
#

that'd be nice yeah

#

we're getting that harley quinn movie

#

so we'll see how that is I guess

crimson lance
#

Harley quinn movie doesnt look good to me but all i saw was the poster and a bit of the trailer

#

it looks quirky and quirky bad

young compass
#

ewan mcgregor as black mask is cool

fickle ember
#

They should do a live adaption of under the red hood, assuming they ever get Batman off the ground KataOmegaLUL

crimson lance
#

really hope the new batman is good

knotty fox

#

So is The hobbit required to watch the lord of the rings

Hey you use fmovies too

dim hedge
#

@meager glen they used that ost for the final scene right?

meager glen
#

hm..

dim hedge
#

sorry had to move the discussion here

meager glen
#

for avatar last airbendeR?

dim hedge
#

yeah

meager glen
#

no

#

most of the sad ep they put this song

dim hedge
#

Yeah, they used it for the final scene

#

it was perfect

#

they used it a lot throughout the show

meager glen
#

oh yeah

dim hedge
#

but it thought it was perfect for the ending

dim hedge
#

the first one is iconic, one of the all time sound track greats

#

I remember the 2nd one from early Naruto

meager glen
#

i really like both of them

#

also for one piece there a lot

dim hedge
#

they are both classics, come from the sound track

#

1st sound track*

meager glen
#

the one for backstory sanji is really nice

dim hedge
#

@dim hedge damn that link deadass spoiled Avatar for me lol

fickle ember
#

It spoiled you for a particular scene, but that’s hardly anything worthy in terms of significant events happening in the story @dim hedge you should still watch it

dim hedge
#

Bet

dim hedge
#

@dim hedge I apologize, I should have put a spoiler tag on it

#

I genuinely feel bad but like what Omni said this scene won’t change the show, it’s still amazing

dim hedge
#

It’s okay don’t worry about it 🙂

#

And it seems like it would be too childish.

#

I hope it’s not

young compass
#

you shouldn't worry about that stuff

dim hedge
#

I’m not really that worried I just would rather it have some dark elements

fickle ember
#

Watch it and see for yourself

#

Don’t be quick to assume

Ok

Zoro you will be satisfied

runic dirge

.

#

HBO: we'll give you ten seasons and as much time and money as you could possibly want

#

ditches got for SW

#

get dumped by disney

#

unless there are more details that I am not aware of

#

got was ruined for actually no reason at all

magic bloom
#

Roro at least they’re making a prequel that iirc has most of the main production crew working on it, except new directior and GRRM is also writing for it

runic dirge
#

can't say I'm interested in prequels

magic bloom
#

Think of it as the original then and GOT as the sequel that went bad

knotty fox
sonic quail
#

@runic dirge to be fair they didnt get ditched they just had more obligation with netflix. They had a 250mil 5 year deal

#

Which is probably why they didnt wanna do more got shit

#

Tldr they money grubbing piggies

north sun
#

Game of Thrones wasn’t ended prematurely for Star Wars. They had always wanted to end things at around 7-8 seasons.

sonic quail
#

Ah i never said nor implied it was CrocoKidEvenMoreDistorted

#

It was ended prematurely for netflix CrocoKidEvenMoreDistorted 🤓

north sun
#

It wasn’t for that either

sonic quail
#

Ah but it was CrocoKid crocokidDistorted CrocoKidEvenMoreDistorted

#

🤓

north sun
#

Not like extending the series would have fixed all the problems with GoT anyway. They had always wanted to for around the number they did, and honestly GoT didn’t need 10-12 seasons.

sonic quail
#

I disagree

#

😳

#

There some things they couldve spent more time on of course

sage sleet
#

GoT needed more seasons

#

was heavily condensed

sonic quail
#

And the pay off would’ve been greater

sage sleet
#

this new show is getting heavy supervision from grrm

sonic quail
#

I wont watch it

sage sleet
#

the new show?

#

think it's gonna be heavy on targarions

#

seeing how it's 300 years in the past compared to the other shows 1000 years

north sun
#

The problems with GoT weren’t due to a lack of time to resolve itself

sonic quail
#

Some were

#

Not all

north sun
#

Eight seasons is honestly a pretty good number

sonic quail
#

It is

#

Doesnt mean more would hurt

#

But alas

#

It is what it is

north sun
#

We’re talking about 7-8 books with a lot of content that isn’t necessary or wouldn’t work for a television adaptation

sonic quail
#

Watchmen and westworld are gonna be top tier

#

Im talking about the show itself

#

We passed the book a long time ago

#

My main thing is danys character arch wouldve been more well received if more time was spent on it

north sun
#

Time isn’t the issue with Dany

sonic quail
#

Ah but it is

north sun
#

It’s really not

sonic quail
#

Agree to disagree

#

But know im correct CrocoKidEvenMoreDistorted

young compass
#

There’s a new watchmen coming?

sonic quail
#

Its already out

#

Its a tv show

#

Go watch ot

young compass
#

Holy shit where have I been

sonic quail
#

Under a rock

young compass
#

Watching asap

mint kiln
#

basically the same thing as under a rock

north sun
#

The issue with Dany is that they didn’t properly setup her downfall and tried to pass it off as a twist, among other things

#

Throwing more seasons on top wouldn’t fix anything

sonic quail
#

I mean it gives them more room to properly set up and build up to said downfall

#

One of the biggest complaints people had was that things felt rushed

#

Which is a valid complaint

north sun
#

Meanwhile they axed a lot of content from her Meereen story and didn’t setup her descent well at all... because she has to be the hero until the end so they can have their big dramatic twist.

sonic quail
#

Hmm

#

I wonder why the axed the content

#

Maybe because they were

#

Pressed for time

north sun
#

It’s better to say they poorly adapted it

#

The storyline itself is there, albeit in a butchered state

sonic quail
#

I mean id agree it was poorly adapted

north sun
#

Meanwhile they also waste their time with things like the wight hunt

sonic quail
#

Partly due to time unnecessary time constraints

#

Also true

#

But i think it was there because we needed to have something to do with the white walkers

#

Seeing as how they planned to resolved the conflict the next season

#

I enjoyed it but it was stupid

north sun
#

They didn’t know what to do about ||the Wall coming down, get everyone focused on the Others, and wanted to give the Night King a dragon to raise the stakes and attempt to make things more exciting.||

sonic quail
#

Yea

north sun
#

Partly because I assume they didn’t adapt whatever other storyline would lead to the Wall coming down in the book so had to make something up

#

Horn of Winter or whatever

#

Also with the series feeling rushed

#

Remember that the final two seasons were of shortened length as well

#

Very odd decision considering this didn’t cut down on production time

#

The final season even had a longer than average production schedule

cold dock
#

Snyder's Watchmen is the only live action adaptation

Shep, what’s this I hear about a what if where Louis is pissed people let Superman die and goes ||mad and slaughters everyone ||

#

Watchmen is a masterpiece deconstruction of the superhero genre

and is a good story in itself

The live-action movie is basically the comic

Has anybody watched The Boys?

fuck he hasn't been online in five hours

#

ok fine I will suffer quietly

#

I lied I refuse to suffer

#

ping me when you read this strag

#

strag is alive

#

could you elaborate on your logic for recommending me to watch Legion

inner creek
#

Is that legion as in Charles Xavier son legion?

runic dirge
#

it's been a while since you talked about it

#

so i don't know what I'm supposed to expect to enjoy from this

#

what aesthetic

#

I tried to watch the first episode

#

I made it through the first two minutes and forty two seconds

inner creek
#

Legion is a top show

runic dirge
#

then I groaned and hurt my throat and had to step outside

inner creek
#

But it’s not for everyone tbh

runic dirge
#

I really really hate it and I don't want to see another second of it

#

so I'm wondering if there's something I should be expecting

#

is the entire first episode like this

#

I can't handle it

inner creek
#

The first episode sets the tone for the whole season tbh you can pretty much tell if you dig a show from a first episode not all episodes are like that but it shows what the show is about

runic dirge
#

apparently the first ten seconds set the stage for the entire first episode

#

I am physically unable to watch this

#

I should probably go into more detail but I just hate every single aspect of this show

inner creek
#

That’s fair mate as I said it is not for everyone it’s like game of thrones great show but not for everyone

runic dirge
#

if someone dropped got because they disliked the first scene I would explain to them why they are insane

#

because the first episode of got accomplishes a lot of different things and introduces a lot of things and sets the stage

#

if I think Legion is a slow, ugly, pretensious mass of vomit and I hear the first episode is all the same

inner creek
#

Same with legion all series aim to do that it’s what a first episode is for I loved got except for the last season

runic dirge
#

that is not the same experience

inner creek
#

It is not however as a fan of both shows I can say that legion does the same in their first episode but if you don’t like it that’s fine

runic dirge
#

I could be starting better call saul in the time it takes me to watch this episode

#

something I fully expect to love

#

apparently the first episode is a throwaway but if I skip it I'll be missing context for the rest of the show because apparently it also accomplishes things that matter and yet I can't bring myself to throw away an hour of my life over something that crumples me into a ball I would rather be doing anything else

inner creek
#

Then do something else mate that’s fair

runic dirge
#

not the point

#

what is it

#

strag I'm lying in bed staring at the lights from my desk fan spin around the ceiling because I'm unable to sleep because I've had too many energy drinks

#

could you like

#

explain it in a way that doesn't spoil it in the case that spoiling it ruins it or something

#

@dim hedge

#

so as to snag my interest

#

I could describe having a scene transition from the cord he used to hang himself to a sparkler on a cake unique and creative

#

it's still bad

#

does he just imagine it in different ways

#

or is it real

#

how did he break the windows of that cop car

#

that's not schizophrenia

#

then why do people think he's schizophrenic

#

I don't understand why this scene is here though

#

you can't just go break the windows of a police vehicle without touching them

#

are psychics an accepted thing in this world

#

ok

#

so they take someone they know isn't normal and try and fix him with normal means

#

unless none of this is real

#

but it still doesn't make sense

#

why

inner creek
#

His powers are a mix of Jean and professed x

runic dirge
#

he's not something normal doctors should be working with

#

he's not a normal human

inner creek
#

He’s a mutant

runic dirge
#

so he should be in a mutant hospital

#

and a mutant prison/detainment center whatever

#

if he is in a special facility, which he clearly is not, but imagine he was

#

why is his mom allowed to get so close to him with no protection

#

even hands him a potential weapon

#

but how do they know it will work on him

#

this happened after he blew out the car

#

shouldn't he have been taken somewhere else

#

where he can be locked down

inner creek
#

They live in a time when mutants are the normal and know ways how to bring abilities down

runic dirge
#

if his ability is common and he's using it criminally there should be ways to counter and secure him

#

and yet they just take him to a normal hospital and give him normal pills

#

is it

#

it doesn't look like one

#

I haven't made it to the three minute mark

#

I haven't been watching it since I pinged you

#

screaming time

inner creek
#

You should check out vikings and the show the wheel of time when it’s released

runic dirge
#

no

#

STRAG IT GOT WORSE

#

she offers him the cake that he tells her he can't have

#

what about the three guards in the room

#

why are they all so far away from him

#

why was the cake allowed in

#

why is the only thing on the wall different ways to say hello in different languages instead of something actually usefull

#

it's a visitation room

#

people are there to talk to people

#

they know how to talk to them

#

I can't take this show seriously when every two seconds I see something new that makes me scream

#

when a nitpick breaks the logic of the show and pulls me completely out of the experience it isn't a nitpick

#

3:02

#

when he says he's been detained here for 260 weeks I don't know whether he's insane for counting or if he's telling another bad joke because he just told a really shit attempt of a joke

#

spoons are weapons

#

I hate him

#

why does he have to be told it's time for his meds when he's been keeping track of time for the past 5 years this line of dialouge only exists to transition out of the shitty conversation with his idiot mother

#

wait I can't say that that's a nitpick

#

here's a real nitpick

#

just to show I can play both sides

#

this girl just used the phrase hold the phone two times in thirty seconds and I hate her for it

#

why does a woman who is working in a psychic ward with crazy people need to be asked to put the medicine down and not hand it to this woman especially when she is able to identify her on sight and knows her dosage and either has it ready or prepares it quickly, both of which would imply she's skilled at her job and knows the patients

#

so how does this facility even function

#

you have one therapist talking to one patient but there's the girl on the side being a disturbance and then the new girls walks in casually

#

you are dealing with a variety of people who are all potentially dangerous, as seen by the very fast response time when he had his bad dream

#

so why do they allow the patients to interact with each other

#

is it just so the show can have dialouge

#

because that's a stupid reason

#

almost as importantly as the writing the show is incredibly boring

#

on a shot by shot basis

#

I'm not confused

#

I just think the show is stupid

#

it's not consistent

#

not meta weird

#

in universe stupid

#

I mean strag

#

I could just be tisming

#

he's standing too close to her

#

he's not even making an effort to avoid touching her beyond the stupid strap the accomplishes nothing because he's standing right next to her and she's not safe

#

if it's intentionally confusing at some points

#

does it also intentionally resolve those conflicts

#

and only later on does she in any way call attention to the fact that she is insane and can not tolerate being touched

#

right after like fifty different shots of them standing right next to each other, moving around naturally with no extra movements to show to the audience that they understand the character that they are playing

#

but no, now that there's a moody moment we remember that the writing exists so that we can call attention to a problem that didn't exist until this moment

#

cool so none of it is real that doesn't solve the problem that nothing mechanically in the episode contributed to point this doesn't solve the problem

#

either I think he's stupid for imagining it or I could just blame the writing and cinematrography, one of which is real

#

I don't see the point of shooting the scene like this when i can clearly understand exactly what's going on every time the scene jumps from one conversation to another

#

it's not doing anything special or confusing and the way it's shot is still boring like every other shot

#

why is she telling him he needs to get better if she doesn't even believe that he's sick

#

that people like them have real issues, which shouldn't even be a real question being asked, obviously people like them are common knowledge and treated with proper care, but only when the show feels like it I guess

#

I can throw out writing if something appeals to me aesthetically

#

this show does not, so I'm digging into it

#

because I can't watch it and say nothing because if that happens I will explode

#

and apparently I have to somehow slog through this fucking episode that ISN'T EVEN HALFWAY DONE YET

#

nothing out of the ordinary here Strag

#

which is why I don't like they they gave the patients ping pong paddles with squared edges

#

which are more dangerous than normal ping pong paddles, not that even normal ping pong paddles should be allowed, any variant of a ping pong paddle can be used to kill people, especially when you're dealing with magical psycho mutant freaks

#

strag I am beside myself

#

I find it weird that you would specifically mention the production value when the effect fom him shaking the entire building as felt from the other girl's room was the cheapest looking shit

#

the main character of this show looks like Ian from Smosh

#

I'm so mad

#

why was the pool not filled beforehand?

#

this has the worst special effects I've even seen

#

is Legion intended to look like garbage

#

this show came out in 2017 how is it possible for it to look this bad

#

this is the most boring episode of something that I have ever seen in my life

#

I hate every character and none of the sets feel like real locations

#

this show just comes off as a joke to me

#

somehow I made it through the entire first episode and I hated every second of it

#

it is impossible to imagine the possibility that episode two fixes any of the problems I have with episode one

#

I have zero reason to watch any more of it

#

unless someone explains why this show exists and what it's trying to accomplish

cold dock
#

Legion seems edgy and boring for just trying to be edgy.

#

I recommend reading New Mutants

#

His OG iteration is vastly superior

#

actually, the only good iteration

#

Only if you want to, ofc

sonic quail
#

Its a very weird show

#

I enjoyed it for the most part but have yet to finish the final season

sonic quail
#

I liked the bizarreness of it all

#

I wouldnt say him dealing with his mental illness and powers classifies as edgy

#

If anything its a realistic take which has value

cold dock
#

The comic version dealt with his unstable personality shifts

#

and did it better than the show because it felt natural

sonic quail
#

I cant compare the two

#

But it was fine enough for me

#

What i liked about it was

#

The show doesnt wanna make it easy to figure out whats going on with him

#

A lot of its mysterious

#

Which pulled me in to connect the pieces

#

It felt like every word a character said had worth and was hinting at something

cold dock
#

But it makes it too slow

#

for some people

#

and it comes off wrong

#

like if you like it, there is no problem with that

#

and some shows pull that off correctly

#

legion was meh

#

it could have been done better

clear gale
#

Watched joker yesterday btw it was really good

runic dirge
#

yes

rotund summit
#

I watched it too, a few weeks ago: really good movie with an amazing performance by Phoenix and a great OST too. 🙂

#

I've been considering going to see it again but I think I'll just leave it

rotund summit
#

I'll watch it again at home.

dim hedge
#

Joker is great

#

Are there any ongoing western series that are good?

crimson lance
#

tribal tundra

tribal tundra
#

I was speaking to the guy thinking about watching joker again

crimson lance
#

#

I was just making sure he knew they were movies

#

cause he asked for series

crimson lance
#

Just finished mIb

teal mason
#

dim hedge
#

dim hedge
#

That sounds like the most boring thing ever

runic dirge
#

the opening of cod wwii was all the pearl harbor experience I need

#

it sucked

#

I died

#

war sucks

#

🆗

dim hedge
#

If you have to watch a movie about WW2

#

First you watch all movies about concentration camps

crimson lance
#

no you watch one about nazis getting burned in a theather by a hot jewish lady who speaks french

dim hedge
#

oh yeah

#

that one is a must too

crimson lance
#

God taratinos movies are so entertaining

#

especially when people are just sitting there talking to each other for 13 minutes

barren temple
#

You know, i decided to watch that new green eggs and ham show on netflix and its actually pretty good

#

Very meta and reads like a feel-good 90s movie

#

I was pretty surprised

crimson lance
#

That was a good episode of rick and morty

#

forgot the show can be good since its so bad when you re-watch it

cold dock
#

Ongoing comic or tv series?

runic dirge
#

rick and morty is a manga

cold dock
#

I meant the question for @dim hedge

barren temple
#

I forgot it was out so now i guess i have to wait a week for a torrent FeelsMoriaMan

cold dock
#

Imma wait for a few weeks

#

like having a compressed viewing

barren temple
#

Yeah that sounds like a good idea

#

Honestly rick and morty being shit is basically a meme now but i dont buy it

cold dock
#

The fandom is a meme

#

and a scourge

barren temple
#

Im expecting(hoping) to be wowed by the new season anyway

cold dock
#

Season 4 was 2 years in making

#

it better be good

barren temple
#

You know the guy who pretended to go crazy over schezhuawahan sauce at mcdonalds basically had his life ruined because of it. He cant find employment easily because people find out hes the crazy sauce guy and stuff

cold dock
#

Ah s***

#

LMAO

#

barren temple

Just over a random bit of fun like damn

#

I feel like thats something i would do too sweatlava

runic dirge

I'm not going to say Darwin award, but

dim hedge
crimson lance

runic dirge

Pack-A-Punch - Oh my God, I think it makes Vodka!!!

hoary hawk
#

disney+ or nah

cold dock
#

nah

sage sleet
#

friend is getting it so imma yoink it

#

but it does seem worth for the amount of content

#

old and new

magic bloom
#

Nah

#

I mean, if you see their catalog and decide what they have to be worth it, then sure. I’m not gonna get it I’ll just use someone else’s acc

cold dock
#

crimson lance
#

you guys see the suicide squidward thing in spongebob?

magic bloom
#

Yea

cold dock

magic bloom
#

That episode itself was weird

crimson lance
cold dock
#

...

#

I hath no words

magic bloom
#

They’re both equally as cursed

dim hedge
#

I dont know what to say

cold dock
#

This is what caused squidwards suicide

#

Rise of Skywalker test-screenings are disastrous

fickle ember
#

Are you surprised tho

cold dock
#

No

fickle ember
#

Same

cold dock
#

Honestly I'm glad

crimson lance
#

Havent seen a source but they supposedly filmed multiple endings, and other important scenes and you can switch them out to get different movies

fickle ember
#

If I don’t like 2/3 of a trilogy it’s nigh impossible to make a last part that wins me over personally

cold dock
#

^

#

The sources are exclusive to clownfish tv and Doomcock

#

And the sources have been right in the past

#

you can't find them on internet

#

also, there were leaked screenshots and scenes immediately taken down by disney that prove the sources true

sage sleet
#

the end of the f***ing world s2 was pretty good

crimson lance
#

i dont want to watch that because last thing i know was boy died

#

and i think thats a good ending point

cold dock
#

Oh, this show

#

is it good?

#

I only knew about it via Youtube ads

sage sleet
#

I enjoyed it

teal mason
#

#

Ah ok

cold dock
#

Wait, have you watched season 2?

minor iris
#

minor iris
#

Ohhh

cold dock
#

minor iris
#

Judging how season 1 left off

#

Id presume it would

cold dock
#

but you'd have no idea

#

and the S2 finale is even sadder

fickle ember
#

YJ the cartoon right? LuffyThonk

cold dock
#

Ye

fickle ember
#

I don’t remember any of these things Crydo

#

Been so long I guess

minor iris
#

Also || I instantly gussed that Lex was a member of the light|| lol

cold dock
#

C'mon, Lex is behind everything

#

LMAO

minor iris
#

That was the obvious answer

cold dock
#

Remember JL and JLU

fickle ember
#

Lex was right in JLU, ||all that crummy Superman’s fault for destroying those buildings Mmmsopp ||

minor iris
#

The way they pronounce Ra's Al ghul kinda triggers me

fickle ember
cold dock
#

Remember, it is Raesh

#

not Raz

minor iris
#

Knowing a bit of Arabic

cold dock
#

Oh, like that

minor iris
#

Raesh is more Hebrew than Arabic

#

I believe

cold dock
#

Icic

#

Remember, Mr. Krabs wants to stop Superman

#

Spongebob is a Decepticon

#

Patrick is an Autobot

#

and Optimus is Megatron, yeeesssss

#

and Eeyore is Optimus

minor iris
#

Wait didn't Tom Kenny voice bumblebee in the animated series

cold dock
#

no

#

he voiced starscream

minor iris
#

Huh

#

I thought he voiced bumblebee

cold dock
#

Nah

#

LOL

minor iris
#

Ah right

#

Yeah you're right

cold dock
#

Bill Faberbakke voices Bulkhead

#

who is Patrick

#

David Kaye voices Optimus - who also voiced Megatron in Beast Wars

minor iris
#

Huh

cold dock
#

And Peter Cullen - the legendary Optimus - voiced Eeyore

minor iris
#

It comes fill circle

cold dock
#

indeed

minor iris
#

Yeah I know of Cullen

cold dock
#

Megatron is Fred Jones

minor iris
#

You played fall of Cybertron?

cold dock
#

minor iris
#

Frank whelker right?

cold dock
#

Yup

#

and I played it

minor iris
#

Was a great game

#

I remember going through a shopping centre

#

Planning to watch man of steel but I saw the game and decided on that instead lol

cold dock
#

You have War?

minor iris
#

No I haven't

#

Wanted to play after I played fall

cold dock
#

You can still get it on PC via amazon

minor iris
#

I know there's the a new release

#

With the two

cold dock
#

Devastation is G1

minor iris
#

And the darkspark game

#

Smh...

cold dock
#

minor iris
#

I saw it and said nope

#

Too bad high moon closed

cold dock

High Moon is not closed

minor iris
#

Oh it's not

cold dock
#

minor iris
#

I though Activision shit it down

cold dock

minor iris
#

After Deadpool

#

Ah right

cold dock
#

Deadpool was a joke game

minor iris
#

Haven't played it

#

It seen it

#

I understand why

cold dock
#

Not worth buying unless if a deadpool fan

#

Game on release was 32 bucks

#

LMAO

minor iris
#

Well it depends how he's written

#

I guess

#

Wow

cold dock
#

Yeah, the budget was that low

#

that even the devs knew to release it for a low price

minor iris
#

I know it sounds wierd but I'd could imagine Optimus and Megatron showing up as guest in a marvel Vs Capcom game

cold dock
#

Transformers were Marvel Liscensed Comics

minor iris
#

Yeah

cold dock
#

and the whole concept of it was by Jim Shooter

minor iris
#

Oh was it?

cold dock
#

remained unaltered

minor iris
#

Also they made big characters like sentinel

#

In 3

cold dock
#

to this day

#

Bob Budiansky coined the character traits

minor iris
#

And a mech in another series

cold dock
#

Sentinel was Furman
