Unlimited is almost a dirty word for an old SWCCG collector like me because back then the unlimited cards with the white border were considered cheap and too common as they were reprints of the original limited black border cards. I still have the full collection somewhere in two thick binders...

Went and saw it today with the family. We liked it better than most of the last few years MCU stuff except for Deadpool & Wolverine (though I recognize it for what it was, a huge nothing story filled with fanservice and jokes, but that's what I wanted from it). The pacing was good, the 2 hours...

From what I read, they actually did just that for this movie, they hired the guy who created the Na'vi language for Avatar, so they could develop a Yautja language that could be used for further lore / future films. I think the soundtrack of the trailer is actually some kind of Yautja chanting...

You're saying exactly what I'm saying, the best way is practical/prosthetics with CGI touch-ups. Full practical is quite restrictive for some outlandish designs in most cases (though there is some superb work out there by talented make-up artists and prop designers), and full CGI tends to fall...

I wasn't pointing to anyone in this thread, just saying what I've seen online about how "that's not a predator at all". I'm ambivalent on full CGI versus full practical effects. On the one hand I love the original Stan Winston Predator effects and tend to prefer practical effects in general...

I think I would notice the difference, you're probably just desensitized to it. Though to be fair if it's cleverly inserted in the films and the costumes are done well, I'd probably give it a shot just for funsies.

Add a lil' tyke Snoke to Anakin's group of friends in Mos Espa, then he gets hit in the face by one of Sebulba's torn reactors at the end of the pod race, setting him up as the villain seven films later.

I haven't seen it mentioned in the thread though it's explained in a lot of places, but this Predator is supposed to look a bit different because he's the runt of the litter, and was exiled by his clan. The plot of the film is him choosing to reclaim his honor and the acceptance of his clan by...

My bad, completely forgot about those portal stones, I've not read the early books in many years. Thanks for the reminder! As for demand on the books, apparently they've been flying off the shelves in many libraries, and I've seen a lot of people on forums or socials saying they picked up the...

- Portal Stones (I assume you mean the sculpted stone leaves on the archways) weren't removed from the show, we see Loial use them a few times, but the show does not mention the possibility of sealing a waygate permanently so yes it was dumb that he sacrificed himself to destroy a waygate's exit...

While I was surprised at first by the deaths of some of the characters this season, I can understand what they are trying to do because both of those characters after this point in the books go on the bench for literally more than half of the book series, doing very little in the background...

While the showrunner's stance on having ugly people in his show is known, it's funny because a lot of the men and women in the show look ugly but when you see pictures of them online they're decent for the most part, but Aviendha is just downright ugly, there's no redeeming quality whatsoever...

Watched all eight episodes in two evenings, what a shitshow. While I approve of the performances for the most part, the whole story is a complete mess, it's so disjointed it feels like the showrunner was told they'd have 20 episodes and then woops you only get 8 sorry so they panicked. I'm not...

Been playing a lot of Two Point Museum, love all those Two Point Studios games, goddamn do they make hours fly by.

Couldn't agree more, they've made Undermine extremely tedious and boring to grind/farm. I've never been a huge fan of goblin themes but Undermine as a zone has been in the pipes for so many years it was at least interesting to see it finally, but fuck me it's just one huge grind of literally...
