It’s very episodical
So not like you always need to pay attention - if time is a big deal for you
lament bay
It's not really I'm more of just worried about if it'll keep me interested
Is the comedy the same in the show as it was in Benders Game?
Cause I really liked the comedy of Benders Game
limpid meadow
Probably . I don’t know what benders game is
Ok- yes - it should be somewhat the same
lament bay
It's a movie for Futurama. Bender gets super into DnD and ends up creating a Fantasy world. Basically an excuse to make fun of LoTR and DnD
I liked it as I love DnD and found it funny
barren temple
Yes. The comedy in futurama is consistently good
There are actually 4 movies in futurama that each basically last for four episodes each that took the place of one of the seasons. Theyre all pretty great
I think benders big score is my favorite
sonic quail
When aliens invade and a bunch of people are screaming in panic and then start coughing and take a smoke break and then resume screaming. 
I love futuramas comedy and it has moments that hit u right in the feels
Frys story is actually kinda tragic and fucked up whenever its dealt with.
The dog episode was just....
I watched tjat as a kid and was sad for a while
Leelas story, idk if i spelled it right, is also pretty sad too

We all did it, we successfully bitched out WB to give us the Snyder Cut.
It’s turns out that teamwork actually does make the dream work
Full disclosure, I’m not expecting anything grand or amazing enough to make me think the DCEU could properly be salvaged by this, I mean we all know that Snyder Cut or not you can’t expect to do a proper superhero team up movie when you’re introducing half of you cast properly in said movie, but I’m just psyched to see how Zack envisioned it.
sage sleet
i'm really curious to see if it'll be better
I'm optimistic but the snyder era of the DCEU isn't looking too hot
had an idea and quickly realized it was shit lmao

full stratus
do we have any big cosmere fans here
ive been planning to read something by brandon sanderson for years because you cant talk about anime or fantasy or magic systems on the internet
without hearing about him
but i havent until now, just finished way of kings
full stratus
it was ridiculously good as promised by everyone on the internet
young compass
new book in november :)
full stratus
it had that strange quality where in other stories i would think things like ||why doesnt dalinar just try to verify the visions' accuracy in some way||, and it would annoy me for the whole story
but then a character actually suggests that and it happens
it was amazing
i mean thats just one very minor example
but the whole book felt a lot like that to me
there were some very satisfying explanations, like i was worried that ||the reason kalladin survives is because he is cursed to survive while his allies die or some bullshit like that||, but then it turns out that ||he survived due to very specific abilities that were introduced to us already in the prologue through szeth, things we KNOW exist in this world||
a lot of things just felt earned and deliberate.
anyway yeah i liked it a lot, it's my understanding that you're supposed to read warbreaker before WoR so ill do that next
ive also been watching his lectures on writing and it's just nice to see him actually applying the stuff he talks about with positive results
young compass
100%, everything from the magic system to the world building feels so deliberate and planned. I got so immersed in it on first read that I literally didn't do anything else until I caught up with all 3 books lol
copper phoenix
stormlight 
I read almost all of the cosmere already I'm just missing a few standalone books
like took me a month or something to catch up
also yea I just finished a rewatch of breaking bad still holds up as my favorite tv show
full stratus
i really wanna go into a marathon and just read (at least) all of stormlight and mistborn but
- WoK really messed up my sleep schedule for a few days because i just didnt want to put it down and then it was suddenly 8am
- i'm kinda broke rn and id rather not pirate anything, so i'll just slowly move on to warbreaker since its free
copper phoenix
fair enough
once the sanderstorm begins it's hard to stop reading and god knows he does it every single book
full stratus
i was actually already hooked by szeth's scene
i mean it was certainly HARDER to put it down near the climax but yeaahh i was already drinking the kool aid by page 20 lol
full stratus
do you know why people recommend warbreaker before continuing with stormlight? can you tell me with no spoilers if it's like a big deal
copper phoenix
I have a nice infographic here
full stratus
oh yeah
i mean i've already looked up some but people cant really explain their reasoning without spoiling things
i guess what i'm trying to say is
copper phoenix
it's because there are some small character connections that will only make sense if you read warbreaker
I mean it's nothing really major
full stratus
i see
copper phoenix
brandon has a plan to make the plots interwined but atm it's just small details
full stratus
you know what the problem is, i accidentally got shit spoiled looking at comments for his lectures
copper phoenix
the juicy stuff is for a lot later
yea man try not to look anything online
brando has so many plot twists that you'll regret ruining one of them
full stratus
initially i made the mistake of googling character names to see how different fan artists depict them
copper phoenix
big oof
full stratus
and i realized pretty quickly thats not gonna work out lol
copper phoenix
I never do that with any book
even tho I want to
like i'm reading malazan atm and I'd really like some character depictions but I'm holding off
full stratus
anyway one thing that im pretty sure is a big spoiler is that I've seen ||Fuck Moash|| splattered everywhere so I'm guessing that we're heading towards a ||betrayal|| situation
also like there are some things that i didnt THINK would be spoilers, but turned out to kind of be spoilers
copper phoenix
yea that one is really hard to avoid
like it's a problem when a meme is a spoiler
full stratus
like for instance, it seems to be public information that WoR is Shallan's book and Oathbringer is Dalinar's book (i mean, it's basically in the name)
but then a big "holy shit what the fuck" moment at the end of WoK is ||szeth being assigned to kill dalinar||
copper phoenix
that is also correct
full stratus
well, now I know that's not gonna happen
lol
I'm still really interested in what exactly is gonna happen
copper phoenix
it's good stuff just avoid googling anything else
lemme find the infographic
it's all you need for now
you can start anywhere tbh but mistborn and stormlight is the big dick series
they're gonna be the pillars of the cosmere
man I'm expecting this to end in 50 years
so many books planned
full stratus
i'm amazed he has the dedication to stick to the same ideas years and years later
copper phoenix
the man really is a machine
it's something he got in common with oda is they're always doing something
full stratus
yeah but i think oda has a lot less concrete stuff planned out
copper phoenix
when brandon takes breaks he just writes new books
also his involvement with the fanbase is admirable too
he's always posting detailed updates of his current status
even his website has progress bar
full stratus
yes it's absolutely crazy, he seems like such a wholesome guy
ngl, at first the whole "wholesome mormon guy" thing made me think there's just gonna be a cringy representation of religion in the story, or that he won't really delve into "realistic" gore
but the religious stuff and jasnah was pretty good after all
and then you get stuff like ||kaladin ripping off parshendi carapaces and wearing them as armor, and the parshendi getting traumatized over it||
that's exactly the kind of thing i thought wasnt gonna happen in a story by a wholesome mormon guy
but nope
the dude knows his shit and he's not afraid to write it
copper phoenix
full stratus
i'm really happy about him
copper phoenix
something something judge book by cover
but yea his stuff is really brutal sometimes
but without being too sadistic like grrm
way of king is favorite stormlight book because I love kaladin's story
but the third book is godlike
man dalinar is one of the best characters in fantasy literature plus that book has so many epic quotes
ping me when you finish oathbringer I wanna hear what you think
full stratus
dalinar really is just fantastic
a very extreme all or nothing guy
the scenes at the end of the book were just ridiculous
||OK he's gonna keep his promise to Kaladin, but Sadeas doesnt wanna go along with it. What does he do? Pull out Oathbringer? He's gonna start a war over Kaladin? No, he just gives that shit away. The man has honor. Then he finally stops taking Elhokar's shit after a whole book, beats the shit out of him, and ends the discussion with "by the way I'm fucking your mom, get used to it"||
crazy stuff
true yew
still need to continue WoK, I kept it as quarantine backup
Sanderson just has a nice way of describing things
full stratus
i don't think prose is his strong point really, and in fact i think the type of people who are pretentious about that stuff would dismiss his books for having simple language
but he is really good at writing fight scenes descriptively and vividly
that you can clearly see in your head
which is far more important to me than having like flowery language or whatever
copper phoenix
brandon is a more of a story teller than a writer
most people that hate his books is because of his prose
full stratus
i mean the books don't try to be literary fiction and that's OK, what they do right is done ridiculously well
i think thats why i was hooked right off the bat, i was just amazed at how clearly you can see what szeth is doing and where he is
and he wasnt afraid of using descriptions like "up was now down for the soldier" instead of trying to come up with a clever way of describing gravity or pulling forces or whatever, he really knows when to be concise
copper phoenix
his magic system is really grounded on physics so it's easy to follow
but yea I loved that description too
stormlight would be a great anime ngl

His logic is not flawed as in flaws but understandable. It's flawed in an totally logic defying way.
If over population and limited resources was your main concern, just make more planets inhabitable. Make resources on those planets and shift the people there.
This man really thought there was no other way other than universal genocide. I guess, he didn't really know any other way.
But he has a war council, and nobody thought to tell otherwise to him?

barren temple
@dim hedge are you serious? Episode 6 was probably top 2 of the season
Idk i guess i get peoples frustrations with rick and morty but to say any episode is bad always seems like a stretch to me, even in this season. It has some of the most creative and well-thought out concepts in the series so far
I didnt even dislike the season 3 finale, even though it was kinda anticlimactic and disappointing but that was dan harmons best move knowing that the show would get greenlit into oblivion if he didnt learn to slow things down a little
Idk sometimes i guess we gotta stop being spoiled brats and enjoy the show until the big stuff happens
And thats my cringey rick and morty rant thank you for reading
barren temple
I mean its still the same level of funny no matter what other criticisms you have imo but idk
I dont think season 1 was too "im crying laughing" funny. More funny concepts. Id argue season 4 has it all. Funny & interesting concepts, and a million times where i laughed for at least a solid 10 seconds
You can make good criticisms about episode pacing and each episode needing a second thought for you to really understand and appreciate it but in terms of comedy idk i personally dont see a change
barren temple
To each their own ig
mighty mist
dim hedge
ive never been a fan of rick and morty
mighty mist
That's okay.
dim hedge
i wouldnt say the humor is forced but the humor itself is kinda annoying
copper phoenix
something something high iq
dim hedge
no i mean how ur supposed to enjoy it
its hard to explain
i mean how the show treats itself
copper phoenix
it's just overblown because of fans treating it like the second coming
if it wasn't this popular it would be passable by most people
plenty of shows out there try to be hella woke
dim hedge
its how the themes mix with the comedy cuz the jokes are dumb but the themes are like hyper intelligent super nova super thinking
yea woke is accurate
but it comes across as annoying
if there was one joke i could use to embody rick and morty it would be "hah i moved the bible to the fiction section"
copper phoenix
barren temple
Lmao
Idk i guess i can see that mindset but there are plenty more shows that are more annoying in that aspect
South park, for example, even though i like it
sonic quail
Idk if id say its trying to be super woke
A lot of it is still dumb humor
And even if u dont get the ideas its playing with its still digestible
Most of the time i have no clue shits deeper than what it is is unless theres some vid explaining it
And most shows and movies are like that
barren temple
Yeah theres a lot of episodes in this season especially that i only really understood after looking deeper or watching it again
I dont think ive had that experience with any other show
Which is funny because the high IQ memes came way before season 4 but this seems like the season where you really do need a high IQ to understand it on the first go 
sonic quail
I always watch Wisecrack on youtube they typically find all the high iq stuff in movies and shows
barren temple
Yeah wisecracks great for that stuff

Well at least the conclusion of it
gleaming falcon
I couldn't care less about the quality and deepness of the stories, Rick and Morty gives me 20 minutes completely out of this world and it's worries and boringness at this moment. It's the perfect escape from reality
It really is. I just hate the bad reputation it
has
gotten over the years
:D
PICKLE RIIIICK
barren temple
Mhmm
Idk to me the newest episode actually felt more like a standard season 1 or 2 ep
The family each goes on their own adventure and we get subtle bits of character dev in each interaction
To me it seemed like a nice hybrid of the old and new rick and morty
gleaming falcon
I hated how rick flipped out at the end. Sure it fits his character and gave me a laugh but what an absolute duck he still is
barren temple
That was pretty funny
Yeah his character arc wont be over for a long while
Ive been defending rick and morty so much i must get bullied in school a lot
gleaming falcon
I just don't really mention it, when I did my friend immediately facepalmed and I convinced him that I'm not like that part of the fandom, luckily he's a reasonable guy

So, I had to put up with some random Kuvira apologist on Pinterest.
I called Kuvira a Nazi Bitch, which she fucking is. Don't deny it.
TLOK S4 ||The bitch sends people to fucking PRISON CAMPS if they refused to swear their loyalty to her, and she'd let villages starve if they didn't agree to swear fealty to her. Plus, she refused to give back the Earth Kingdom to Wu.||
||Oh, and let's not forget that she threatened Bolin's and Varrick's lives.||
||And harnessed dangerous energy from the spirit vines.||
DO NOT mess with the Spirits.
It won't end well for you.
||And I'm supposed to feel bad for her because her Mom and Dad abandoned her when she was a child? Oh, boo-fucking-hoo. Su took her in, gave her a home, and treated her like family, but that wasn't enough for her!||

I don't know if they will at all, at this point I have no idea what they'll be trying to do
JJ didn't screw too much up, but there really wasn't much he could do to salvage what Rian goddamn Johnson did
I hope Disney blacklists him at this point, he just wrecked all of the potential the new trilogy could've had

Tenebrous too? I'm good with this
I just realized, in the last scene where all of the Jedi are talking to Rey
Instead of Hayden Christienson, they used Anakin's VA from the Clone Wars show
such a great choice
candid heath
Actually
They did use Hayden
I believe
Yep they did
In a tweet they showed footage of Hayden while they promoted the scene for the blu ray
fading cedar
For his voice speaking? They used his Clone Wars VA there, did they use Hayden for something else?
I feel like it's a little shitty that Sidious could do what he did, but not really destroy anything
fading cedar
Yaaasss I love the line up
I swear they deepened it then, it sounded more like the good VA he has in Clone Wars than Hayden
candid heath
I agree
But he is older
So it probably just deepened with age+experience
fading cedar
God I hope so, 'cause he was a horrible Anakin when he had to be dramatic
I hated him so much, and Anakin was supposed to be such a more badass character
But then Clone Wars stepped up and 100% redeemed him, it was so great
His character is soooooo much better animated
He has actual confidence in everything he says and does
candid heath
I think Hayden could’ve done better
He wasn’t totally bad
His “I hate you” at the end was very visceral
fading cedar
Yeah, see that was good
It wasn't all his acting, it was also the directing
But his tone was never really a solid, forceful warrior's like it should be
At best he was whiny, and at worst sounded like a child throwing a tantrum
candid heath
I get what you mean
Doesn’t really fit with either Vader’s imposing presence or the great general he’s supposed to be

Its been a rollercoaster
fading cedar
Feel free, I'll stay away from here till I see it
barren temple
ill try to spoiler tag as much as i can
Rick and morty season 4 finale/whole season || if anything the finale proves that the show hasnt gone to shit but really just has to space things out more. That being said, if i could give any main flaw to this season, its pacing. The content was all great imo but the pacing was kinda fast so it didnt sink in or land as well. I almost feel like some of these episodes shouldve been stretched into 2-parters ||
|| best episodes: the toilet episode, the vat of acid episode, the story train episode, the time travel snake episode, and the finale. Others might disagree and some of the last 5 did have their own problems but i think all these episodes were pretty good, and the finale was fantastic ||
|| wait the episode where rick died and morty went akira was really good too ||
That pretty much sums it up
@fading cedar i think youre safe now
People probably wont see the finale until a couple more days anyway

How to spoiler tag again?
||test||
Mkay there we go
@barren temple ||I loved the finale, but I totally agree. It honestly just seems like they love going for a big finish but never really setting up for it for each season. Like if this episode were just the first episode after season 3, I could totally believe nothing else happened in between.||
||But then at the same time, they have had so many good ones this season too.||
barren temple
|| yeah thats what ive been saying too. Its all pretty great but harmon and roiland are being strategic here realizing theyre gonna have to pad things out for the next like 700 episodes they have to make now. If you just take the episodes as what they are, theyre pretty good and have great rerun value ||
|| like i was really shook by that line in the finale where rick looked at tammys corpse and said "you died just as you lived: overserialized." I think the crews all been realizing that they gotta make a lot more episodes just for fun and cool concepts before maybe saving the bigger stuff for finales and stretching it ||
Now that the fanbase is hopefully on the same page with them about that, we can get a bit more appreciation in the future

dim hedge
Just started avatar
full stratus
al pacino is ridiculously good, you can watch like Godfather, Dogday Afternoon, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, how is this the same person
i really find that actors tend to be really good at either capturing an air of competence or an air of incompetence. Someone like Christoph Waltz can play a very believable good guy in Django after playing a very believable bad guy in Basterds, but he's still playing in that same field of "very competent, assured, likeable", despite the differences between the characters. A lot of even ridiculously good actors are just particularly good at either playing a strong character or a weak character
and i get amazed when one guy can seem extremely reliable and stable one movie, and then totally buffoonish the next, without it seeming like a ridiculous caricature
i think a lot of people like to pick out three films he made toward the end of the career and act like he always plays the same person, but if you actually watch his films it's just insane how versatile his portrayals are
again, you get a lot of actors that easily go from "good guy" to "bad guy", but it's really hard to believably go from "really smart" to "really stupid", or from confident to terribly insecure
such specific differences in body languages between somethign like the Godfather and something like Donnie Brasco, he completely understands how someone who is sure of himself acts, and how someone who desperately wants to prove himself acts. It's why the Godfather is so good, he goes from a believable empathetic good kid to a believable ruthless mafia boss. A lot of people are good at doing one or the other, very rarely are they SO GOOD at both of them
the dude is really good at what he does

I did a rewatch and holy crap
There’s like barely anything good in Book 2 of korra
|| the only good about It is that korra left the spirit portals open. That’s about the only good thing || Legend of Korra book 2
|| the concept of the avatar is about bringing balance and stuff which is neat. But even the avatar wan mini arc was pretty stupid. Raava and Vatuu are spirits of technically order and chaos, but wan only fused with Raava so like, it just makes the avatar unbalanced by default. And for some reason it displays Vatuu and just being evil when chaos doesn’t mean evil, just as order doesn’t mean good || Korra book 2
|| don’t even get me started on the dark avatar. Sounds cool on paper I guess but it’s also stupid || Korra book 2
mighty mist
...Yeah. 😐
barren temple
Theres so much great stuff in avatar on a full rewatch
First episode: || uncle iroh: "firebending is in THE BREATH" ||
magic bloom
Oh TLAB is magnificent
But Korra kinda .. shits on the concepts introduced then
|| like metalbending for some reason has a 1/100 earthbenders being able to metalbend. Which is stupid since the way metalbending was created was by toph finding earth impurities in metal and quite literally bending metal || Korra book 4
I do think Korra book 1 and book 3 are really good
But man some of the things that happen just absolutely shit the bed
Korra is quite literally mid
sonic quail
||i mean toph is also the best earthbender there is and was the one to have pulled it off and literally created the technique so metal benders being that rare doesnt really contradict what she did and if anything emphasize the rareness of it||
magic bloom
Albair || it really does actually. The police force in republic city has a lot of metal benders. And the way toph derives the technique was as I mentioned her finding earth impurities and bending the metal with said impurities. Also there’s an entire city of metal benders || Korra book 3
Not that rare
sonic quail
||that doesnt mean that its not rare. It just simply means that not everyone is able to do it which makes sense. Using toph as example doesnt help when shes literally the first EVER to do that and is one of the best. And of course theres a police force of metal benders because toph created it. The same goes for the city. They went out and found people who were capable of doing it and then created environments for the to thrive in. Thats the very reason theyre able to even have that statistic in the first place. Ur literally talking about two place in the WHOLE WORLD that has that many metal benders that literally all just migrated or were asked to come to those places.||
@magic bloom
sage sleet
Seasons 1 and 3 of Korra are amazing. 2 has its moments but lacks and 4 is ok
magic bloom
|| yea they migrated there they weren’t always in those places and while it is two places in the world, they’re both in the earth kingdom (republic city is in the same continent as the EK) which would have the highest amount of earthbenders so it’s a fair to use them. But making metalbending an ability that people are born with instead of some other issues is pretty stupid and in a way takes away the creativity toph used when creating the technique. I think she is the best use because while she is the best, even she couldn’t metalbend until she used her seismic sense to see impurities inside metal. She wasn’t born being able to use the technique she had to create it ||
TLAB/korra
barren temple
Wow i completely forgot that || iroh was the only one that could see spirit aang in that one spirit episode ||
sonic quail
||i can get behind that as a complaint. But for me it had always made sense that it would be more rare than not and sometjing some people just cant pull off. But it is somewhat of a departure from stuff like lightning redirection and blood bending which are both techniques that were created and as far as we know something people can learn altho im not as sure about blood bending. I could definitely see that being something that most people could never learn. Also i would go on a limb and say that toph’s seismic sense is probably incredibly difficult to master and probably too hard to understand for most people in the first place which could lean into why metal bending is so rare. Since its something she learned from the masters. And something ang showed once in the last episode. Idk that was something that i never took issue with since toph herself was actively teaching people this ability as well. Its like if katarra went out snd tried to teach people blood bending im sure it would be difficult for most people.||
magic bloom
|| yea I can agree to that. She’s the only person in TLAB to have mastered seismic sense, until aang. But blood bending and lightning generation have both pretty hard limits and while in theory anyone could learn, not everyone can. For lightning generation it has the requirement of separating energies within themselves, and (aside from unalaq/Amon) bloodbending only works during a full moon. While lightning generation did become more commonplace during Korras time it didn’t have a limit imposed on it. That’s something that i would’ve liked to be kept with metalbending instead of making it a trait people are born with. Having to learn seismic sense as a prerequisite for metal bending or something along those lines. Toph did manage to refine the technique through TLAB so maybe it became easier so use for others, but making it a born trait feels counterintuitive || TLAB/Korra
sonic quail
Yea i agree with all of that.
But i do wonder if ||magma bending is gonna go the same route. Its weird cuz both roku and kyoshi both do lava bending so we never got confirmation if it was something that stemmed from earth or fire but i always assumed it was a combo of both. I do wonder if ur born with that as well and just how rare it is especially since we saw two past avatars use it and before korra none used metal bending.||
sonic quail
Hmm
I wanna say yes but they kinda made a big deal about ||how amazing it was when one of the main villains of season 3 did it and bolin doing it just in time to save them. Like all of the red lotus had something unique about them||

and for book 3 ||I could be wrong bc been a minute but I think it might have been rushed||
hoary hawk
||its not a lot of action as in fighting but there is a lot of different motions surrounding appa, the train, the brainwashing, etc etc||

the villains were eons better
sage sleet
do you think if there was a book 4 where they had a time skip it would have made the transition into korra easier?
hoary hawk
100%
sage sleet
bc seeing aang and the gang in korra was sick af but we were left wanting more
also yeah korra villains went so damn hard

yea they kinda left us hanging, we cared about the old crew too much
sage sleet
there's a lot of shit they could do
hoary hawk
||her ruining her connection with all avatars just made it worse though lol||
sage sleet
I still think a book 4 with a time skip is totally achievable
also they should do mini series

||literally peoples fav eps were the ones surrounding nostalgia with zuko and toph||
sage sleet
||like animate what happened to zuko's mom bc it's in the comics, maybe do what happened right after aang disappeared, etc||
