Well, Littlefinger came pretty damn close to having his throat cut by the Kingsguard when he tried to be clever with Cersei. She tried to be a long view type but she was just too fucking dumb to keep it together. I'd definitely say Littlefinger learned a lesson in being a bit more circumspect...

On top of that, the big bad Antrax (book 2 of the Voyage trilogy) is an artificial intelligence. There's speculation that the facility Antrax is in is actually Oronyx Experimental Robotics Systems from The Elves of Cintra. Also I just remembered the other reason I hated the Voyage trilogy...

I mean, the point is that pretty much everyone in Westeros is stupid and short sighted. The long view/big picture people are few and far between, and tend to get killed by the stupid instant gratification people.

All the Frostwolves are green. Has to do with absorbing a bunch of fel energy when they still lived on Hellfire Peninsula. Also, Durotan allowed his shamans to be trained as warlocks, he just refused the blood of mannoroth. I mean really it was an inconsistency that they had to explain away...

Yeah one risk on McGregor losing is bad enough, no way they'll take another one. Conor's next fight will be Aldo even if it takes a life-age for Aldo to stay healthy. *edit* Has there ever even been an interim title defense? I thought they always unified the titles ASAP.

That's a good point. Can someone other than Chuk make it so I can agree with it?

I didnt even realize until now that it was a shot (presumably) at the Green Lantern movie. That's awesome.

If Durotan is a main character then obviously a significant chunk of the story will revolve around the horde being corrupted by the burning legion, because the only things he is known for are being Thrall's father, and refusing the blood of mannoroth. I mean I don't understand how you can have...

I didn't say that introducing Doomsday was a good idea, I said it's a good theory about their plan for how the movie will go.

In the lore Doomhammer was important well before he killed Blackhand and took control of the horde. If the main characters are indeed Durotan and Anduin, the story will be about Durotan refusing the blood of Mannoroth, Medivh going crazy and bringing the orcs to Azeroth, Lothar and Khadgar...

It wasn't meant to be some big gotcha, I'm just saying they do take it in account, just mainly in their tv series, not the movies. I agree the movies are a bit sterile when it comes to the consequences of the previous movies, but they've been pretty careful to confine them to a bunch of out of...

A consistently good live action adaptation of a DC IP?

You mean like how the central plot of the Daredevil series revolves around the fact that there is tons of rebuilding and construction going on in New York after the Chitauri invasion?

Well obviously the only way Germany militarizes would be if the US stops subsidizing the European military and then a charismatic new chancellor gets elected who convinces the people that Germany can provide the protection that the US used to. You're a fucking retard, why do you even still post...

WINDFURY

Sword of Shannara is, I think even by Terry Brooks' admission, super heavily influenced by Lord of the Rings, he just added in the post apocalyptic stuff. I mean almost everything in Sword of Shannara has a pretty direct analog to Lord of the Rings. The Sword is the One Ring and Orl Fane is...

Have you tried completely uninstalling instead of just validating local files? Just spitballing since I don't actually have the game.

I mean yeah it's probably unfair for me to call all his opponents nobodies, but he ran wild against a bunch of up and comers and his only ranked win was against Siver. They had Conor ranked 3rd and gave him a title shot? That's gotta be the fastest track the UFC has ever put someone on, and it...

Tom Cavanagh.

I thought the Warcraft story was fine all the way up through War3 and Vanilla WoW, it wasn't until Burning Crusade and the Space Goats that it really started to get stupid.

For the sake of this silly argument, who is going to stop them if they start militarizing again?

Unless they make her just a boring energy blaster type, Livewire should be interesting if they can pull off the CG.

It's a good theory. Some big threat that Superman can't beat on his own, leading to a Batman - Superman - Wonderwoman teamup, leading to the rise of the Justice League, aka Dawn of Justice.

The division itself would have been fine. The ppv and Conor's hype train would have been wrecked if Conor didn't fight last night.

Could be Lex manages to somehow frame Superman for something too, they show him staring at what is clearly a big chunk of Kryptonite, and they imply that he somehow got Zod's corpse.

that the UFC has a powerful and effective hype machine? I mean take Anderson Silva's title reign. It got to the point where nobody cares about his matches anymore, not even Silva. So then they hyped the hell out of his rematch with Sonnen, it got a much bigger buzz, and Silva didn't fuck...

Well the impression I got from the trailer is that the government really doesn't have anything to do with it, Batman becomes obsessed with killing Superman because of how dangerous he is. I mean obviously trailers rarely tell the entire story, but I suspect they're borrowing rather lightly from...

He was a fast tracked nobody. As I already said, he fought a bunch of no names, then Dennis Siver who is good but a bad mismatch and past his prime and was maybe ranked 13th at the time? So they pop him all the way up to 3rd and give him the title shot against Aldo. He was a nobody that they...

Right I remember that stuff too, so maybe it's just the Metropolis police being stupid.

Was bored after looking up Oblio's first post in the thread, and I found this gem. First post in the forum about Conor McGregor was by good ol Grim 2.5 years ago.

I was under the impression that this was a new origin story for Batman. They were talking about him as if nobody had ever heard of him before, not 'oh yeah this is that crazy dude who used to fight crime over in Gotham'.

Well psycho or not, he was a second or two away from losing the match in the third and he would have lost if MacDonald didn't have limp noodles for arms. *edit* and yeah I'm not surprised he was losing on the scorecard too, although I feel like round 4 could have gone either way so I'm...

The Sucker Punch trailer looked amazing and the premise sounded amazing, and I've never even seen it because I haven't heard a single good thing about it. and yeah can we not get into another fight about who liked Man of Steel and who didn't?

Well hindsight being 20/20, Mendes' critical mistake was advancing posture and going for a sub. Maybe Conor suckered him by asking why Herb wasn't standing them up (he sure suckered me), but he should have just stayed in his guard and kept going for elbows, with the plan being to sit in his...

He looked great. More importantly, you got to hear his performance in that bank robbery before you saw him, so even if you thought he didnt look right, he already hooked you.

I realized I hadn't actually watched the trailer, so I went ahead and took care of that. I'm still not optimistic, but that looked a lot better than I thought, and Gadot looks fine as Wonder Woman, all 5 seconds of it.

Well it has to be the body shots, he did a 5 round slobberknocker with Aldo back in October that went to a unanimous decision but he was never actually out of the fight. I was more surprised Conor still had so much left after 3 minutes of Mendes laying on him and landing elbows. *edit*...

Yeah this is definitely the best card of the year, and it will be hard to top. Two title fights, zero decisions on the main card, and the last fight of the undercard was great too (like most Matt Brown fights)

A: asking if something looked 'suspicious' in a UFC main event is shit posting. B: kind of hard to be in the thread since day 1 when you didn't register until 8 months after the thread was created. Oblio's first post is on page 2. A properly delivered spinning back kick has an incredible...

No, Mendes doesn't normally gas that quickly. Yes, he took a lot of body shots, and they don't all have to be home run shots to disrupt your breathing/deplete your gas tank. Also, according to the laws of physics, when you block a kick, a substantial amount of force still travels through the...
