    The Legend of Vox Machina

    i NEVER picked up on any kind of sign of keyleth being into vex. vex pretty much barely tolerated keyleth right up until vax died and then it felt like keyleth was the only living tie left to her brother so she relented a bit. keyleth in return had a weird rivalry with vex over the affections of...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    haven't watched this yet, but vax and gilmore was always a thing in campaign one. the straight characters are percy, vex, keyleth and grog. vax is bi and scanlan is... man who even knows.

    Welcome to Wrexham

    yeah i liked it a lot more than i thought i would. i started watching because of ryan, but he and rob aren't in it very much. it's much more about the people of wrexham trying to rise above their current station. if i knew ryan and rob were only in it as much as they are i probably wouldn't have...

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    I don't disagree with you on paper, having an overarching villain to tie things together definitely makes things feel more cohesive, but if the only thing they changed was added an overarching villain, you'd just have a cohesive pile of ass.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    i don't know ANYONE who doesn't know that chemotherapy is dangerous. this isn't some "they live" moment where you finally found the sunglasses that let you see the truth. EVERYONE knows what chemotherapy is and does.

    what's the rule about reposts? everything is a repost of a repost? i don't know why you've all jumped down chuk's throat for reposting when there is quantifiably zero new pictures being posted here. it's all coming from somewhere, whether it's twitter or reddit or facebook. if your sensitive...

    Yeah, it'd nice if they stopped being pretend transparent and actually backed up their stupid "we rolled a nat one" statement. Failing checks actually make some of the best story moments so I'd love to see them own this and move forward from it in a positive way. In all seriousness, Im not one...

    i mean, their explanation for MODOK actually makes WAY more sense for why his head is so big and disproportionate than anything else i've seen him in... i just wonder what will be the reason/explanation of what MODOK stands for...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Tom is very much a character that really only works in book medium. You can take time on a character that only raises questions in a book, but on screen you are limited in only showing characters that NEED to be there. Tom builds the extended world at large while not really answering any...

    I haven't really followed wrestling in a while outside of checking out this thread, but I've always found her attractive. Her personality is a bit of a dumpster fire but it works as a wrestling heel so I give her somewhat of a pass in that area. I like more lithe, athletic builds despite my...

    Fast X (2023)

    that's actually a great way to describe these movies. popcorn flicks don't really cover it. but movie junk food and/or movie fast food. they're never going to win any kind of awards, but they really aren't designed to. you just put it on when you want to watch some action scenes. no one takes...

    Rogue (2020)

    I'm watching it now out of sheer boredom and masochism... Everything you said is dead on but you also forgot how awful the action scenes are. It feels like they had no budget for blanks. Like 90% of the guns are fired off screen and the remaining 10% are fired from big wide angle shots where the...

    It's funny, I never really got into the crow, but the MOMENT sting showed up wearing this outfit I instantly became enamored with the dude. One of my greatest disappointments in life is the one time wcw was in town and I went to see it with some college friends, sting didn't show up in the...

    i wouldn't be surprised if they cut back on the meat in the chili as a direct byproduct of them trying to better manage loss of product. and again, this was... '96-'97 ish? right around there, so i don't have any idea about anything they did after that, but at least in those years it was...

    that's because several decades ago they changed the recipe on the meat. i love wendy's, it's one of the few fast food joints that you can work at and still not be turned off on how they make their food, except for the chili. when you overcook a burger, or accidentally cook too much and it just...

    Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

    batista is an amazing actor, i never watched him during his wrestling days, but i've liked him in every movie he's in. i think one of the reasons wrestlers don't make good actors is that despite acting every time they're wrestling, they are taught to be big and bombastic because the crowd in the...

    while i understand your point, it's verifiably false. ancient greece was absurdly famous for having tons of homosexuality. it's a pretty famous saying back then that a man could only find true love and companionship from another man. and then they took that a step further and said a man could...

    We're currently running 2 campaigns alternating each week. In one of them I'm playing a swashbuckler(lvl 6) hexblade (lvl 2), it's super fun but combat can get a little complicated dice-wise but I have it set up to give myself a "buff" for sneak attacks and hex. If I'm eligible for a sneak...

    fantasy grounds has a HUGE learning curve. it is NOT user friendly at all. but we've been using it for going on 6 years now and i'm happy enough with it. it takes a bit of time to figure out how to make it do what you want, but as soon as you understand how it works it's incredibly open on what...

    honestly, if what @Rajaah said was true, if that was actually what the movie was about i would have been all in on this movie. as it is i absolutely do not care about it at all. to your question, lots of stories have similar vibes, where the antagonists are already in a state of post-victory and...

    Yeah, I don't remember who started it. I know rock referred to "someone" as a candyass and it was extremely obvious who he was talking about. I also know vin said he encouraged rock to put his all into the part and it came out REALLY patronizing. Like I said, I don't remember who started it...

    i got the impression that the real "beef" didn't start until one of them brought the issue to social media. while making movies it's pretty common for personalities to clash, but professional courtesy dictates you don't spread dirty laundry across the neighborhood, you know? i mean, if you go...

    it's hard to say he carried those movies though, you know? i mean it FEELS like he's the biggest name in those movies but they were bringing in loads of cash long before he showed up, and his FF spinoff movie actually did LESS than the others. i mean, still made a ton of cash, but analytics...

Fawcett Comics created Captain Marvel in 1939, but ceased production in 1953 due to superman character infringement. then in 1972 Fawcett licensed the character to DC, and by 1991 all the Captain Marvel...

    depends on the table, i'd wager. some of them definitely just let the dm foot the bill and call it a day. some of them let the dm buy the books, while the others buy the snacks or whatever. and some of them let the dm OFFICIALLY buy the books while the others split the cost. we do the latter...

    you guys seem to be forgetting that 2 of the main characters in rogue one were "guardians of the whills" (whatever that actually means), one of whom seems to be the most jedi non-jedi we've ever seen. 3/4's of his lines were variations of "the force is with me." i don't think vader will play...

    i mean it's definitely saying something if the entire purpose of a character is that she was raped and as soon as they take out the "rape" part they just took out the entire character as well. that doesn't sound like it was a nuanced take on the situation. i'm not saying what happened was good...
