no, i mean the show even blatently tells us AND galadriel that this is all her fault. "now the world will know that sauron lives because of galadriel" it's not about us just hating her like rey, the show TELLS us this is all her fault. and her being able to do everything? that's just elves...

i don't really consider galadriel to be a mary sue. yes, she's overly powerful (but that's already sticking with previously established canon). however, the show seems to show her only really screwing things up.

yeah, alcohol withdrawal is extremely deadly and should absolutely be taken seriously. people always talk about how opiate withdrawal is the worst but legitimately people don't die from that. you WANT to die, but it's pretty similar symptoms to food poisoning and exhaustion. just keeping...

i have, and replacing them makes me worried. for all their faults, the showrunners never put any modern day politics into the show despite the understanding that they were going to. amazon is going to misunderstand (on purpose) what the fans are complaining about and find showrunners to keep the...

we've discussed it a bit here, but i believe that tolkien's estate were ONLY interested in selling the pieces of his work that were already out there; the lord of the rings, the hobbit, and the appendices. all of the rest of tolkien's work has always been off the table.

it's not even about the elves (or the numenorians, for that matter, they live several hundred years as well). technology advancing so quickly is a current century thing, basically. throughout our own history, very few things changed outside of things like regular border skirmishes and the like...

first off, we've discussed pj's trilogy. there are a lot of changes that he made and a lot of people had issues with those changes, though generally, they were upset because they didn't get to see parts of the books that they were looking forward to. but here's the thing, pj's trilogy generally...

Sure, I'm using information that the movie didn't show, but realistically implied. I don't know how old Ishmael was but I assume he was less than mid 40's. The actor is 39 but age is a little flexible. Subtract 27 from 40 and you get 13, so no way he was in any form of leadership when the...

i'm aware of the racial diversity, but i'm pretty sure the leader/antagonist wasn't REALLY the leader, or at least, wasn't always, since they mentioned that intergang has been occupying khandaq for 27 years. also, the kid calls intergang white colonizers in his silly diversion in the beginning.

it's really not anti-establishment, though. the entire inciting element is about white colonizers. i definitely eye-rolled through the entire first part of the movie until black adam shows up and puts the hurt on everyone. it was pretty fun from that point on, despite having plenty of pacing issues.

Hawkman's alright, though

De fate is so effeminate

Look at how effeminate the rock looks

Criticism where it's due. That being said the gcpd dialogue in the bottom right is a silly complaint. Gcpd having corrupt cops has been a thing for as long as batman has.

In the comics, the name of the wizard is Shazam, so captain marvel and black Adam are invoking Shazam's name. Captain marvel's powers are from the wisdom of SOLOMON the strength of HERCULE the stamina of ATLAS the power of ZEUS the courage of ACHILLES the speed of MERCURY Black Adams...

it's somehow all and/or neither of the above.

listen, if you want an "ackshually..." here you go... THIS is what an effeminate black man looks like.

there are two origins for hawkman... well, sort of three. Carter Hall is a modern day archeologist who is the reincarnated spirit of an egyptian pharoah (who, because in the 40's when his character was created the people who made him didn't know anything about egyptian dieties, dressed him up in...

effeminate?

hawkman being a stand-in for falcon is like... the most superficial of all judgement calls. i mean, i guess if you don't know anything about either character other than that they both have wings and are race-swapped in the movies as black men then maybe you're right, they are the same character...

i don't know what it is about this picture, but that bread looks DELICIOUS. i'm not even a bread guy, really, but for some reason it looks like the best thing on that plate, and that's not a slam on the rest of the food.

yeah, for whatever reason i've gotten into the habit of watching movies with subtitles on. i watched tenet with it and really enjoyed it. then came here to see what people thought and it was a lot of hate, and a lot of it seemed to be confusion about poorly explained plot, which i perfectly...

i think the hate on tenet is mostly for technical reasons. it's a complicated movie and the dialogue that's meant to explain it is drowned out by the absolutely awful audio mixing

ftfy

they took it off hulu a month or so ago, which made me sad. it was perfect background noise

yeah the kid with his stupid skateboard was dumb. there's a scene where he's going down a stairwell running from bad guys and he picks up his board, goes down a couple stairs, then hops on his skateboard for literally 2 feet, then jumps off and runs down some more stairs. like, buddy... your...

yeah i agree. i think the tonal issues wouldn't have been there if they gave some of these scenes time to breath. every second of every scene, something is happening. i feel like it really could have benefited from some pregnant pauses, letting moments hang in the air a little. some of the...

Medical examiner -- "There is no physical evidence of asphyxiation at all. There is significant evidence of an overdose. That beings said, yeah sure the cops COULD have impacted Floyd's death, there's really no way to be certain." The Left and self-proclaimed Centrists -- "If there's even a 1%...

And honestly I love how soldier boy was supposed to be this awful person but outside of some weird kinks he'd be the perfect drinking buddy

Like, of ALL the things to get self-righteous about, it's a robot wearing a ball cap. Someone should have told her to think about that issue for JUST long enough for Kevin to have signed the paperwork for her replacement

There was an interview with Tatiana maslany and the director, whatever her name is (I'm blanking atm) floating around... I think it was probably posted in this thread a few pages back? But they talk about how they knew going into it that "men" would hate it. Basically they knew that there would...

well it's not federal pound me in the ass prison... so it's at least a step up

yeah, season 3 was one of those examples where the last bite ruins the entire meal. i mean, it wasn't COMPLETELY ruined, and that seems to be a constant threat with the boys, but the last episode was not great in every category. kinda makes you wonder why you got so invested in the show... but...

i'm just sorta day dreaming here... but could you guys imagine what would happen if trump wins next election and then immediately pardons chauvin? on one hand the absolute chaos that would cause would be political suicide, on the other hand... burn it all down

excuse me there were no dogs in rocky 3

LIKELY od'd? L I K E L Y??? i mean does someone need to link to coroner's report again?

i can't tell if you're being serious or not.
