I mean, I'm not even sure what we should care about in the film? That's the problem. Even if it was a technical masterpiece, I just don't care about any of the characters. I don't even care enough to dislike them. Honestly the only character in the last 4 Star Wars films that was even mildly...

This is the best analysis. The movie was entertaining to watch as long as I was not expecting Star Trek. Because it wasn't Star Trek. It was Star Wars in Star Trek skin.

He's got his finger on the pulse of society; double think allows black people to be white supremacists, jews to be nazis. War is peace, freedom is slavery. Double think is a critical element of cults. But imagine if Lindelof was actually making a meta commentary on how woke culture is used to...

So a standard Damon Lindelof TV show.

Just watched the first episode of this...Someone else said it, but this feels like a Comedy pretending to be a drama? I don't know, the fucking tone feels WAY off. Its only the first episode though and I see promise but man...Can anyone who has watched it tell me if any of these shitbag kids...

Yeah, its why dictatorship overall is a poor form of government. In the end, the saying "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is actually..not true. Its right enough that we regard as true, and we act as if its true--but its not technically true. The reality is what power does...

Lab coat rip off Dr Strange...LOL

Fire Corvus getting nerfed. Slight buff too. They are removing the defense proc on S3 and making it cost 100 spirit (But he'll start with 50). However, now rage itself will grant 30% defense AND effective resist. Still, what made him able to solo 4 vs 1 is gone. He'll still be a decent counter...

What discord are we using btw? The FOH one?

Going above 24 FPS is a mistake for films. The bump adds so much more clarity to shots that it makes it almost impossible to cover up special effects and make them look right. The lower quality from 24 FPS makes it far easier to suspend belief, because the movie doesn't look like 'real life'...

Did something happen to the FOH guild? Noticed we didn't join the guildwar today.

Yeah, but the great part of a show is discussing that narrative and the motivations of people. @Khane said it best, the consideration of the sliding scale of evil. The fun part of Breaking Bad is understanding how motivations and circumstance change what we view of as evil, its fun discussing...

Jesse began with pressure at the start of Season 3, he demanded Walt cut him in for what was sold and for the new contract. Walt said no, but eventually relented and gave Jesse half the money after Jesse threatened him; but told Jesse he wouldn't work with him. Jesse then went to cook on his...

This was after Jesse fucked Walt over and essentially left him to die as the target of Fring. Why are you cutting out Jesse fucking over Walt? Walt didn't act just because he was jealous. Walt got into a war with Gus because Jesse wanted to kill Fring's drug dealers, and Walt sided with Jesse...

You actually watched this scene and remember the context right? Jesse was trying to force his way back into the business 2 episodes before this. Walt gave him half the money from their original cook and told him "No, you're out"--because he was a massive fuck up (And Walt was becoming really...

Its the only way they'd both be able to stay alive...Because Jesse started a war with Gus because Jesse was an asshole. I put the timeline up above this post (I just re-watched the series). You guys have a totally skewed memory of these events. Its shocking how much of an asshole Jesse was...

Walt's butthurt had nothing to do with it. Walt was in a massive war with Gus and his life was on the line, and Jesse was the key to turning it around because Jesse was close to Gus. Walt couldn't let Jesse have that because Jesse was a judas little cunt that fucked over everyone and then...

You guys have such a skewed memory of these events. Walt had to fire Gale because Jesse was fucking Walt over and demanding back in the business. After Jesse got back in, he began fucking everything up. Jesse didn't freak out when he saw they were using kids as dealers. Jesse freaked out...

Oh, I'm not defending Walt, Walt's terrible in his own way. Its just people see Jesse as the victim. He's not. Jesse is a piece of shit that manipulates people in a different way, by painting himself as the victim. I have zero tolerance for that. I hate when people take actions, and then when...

About this too. The only thing that annoys me about Gilligan's writing, is the guy writs extremely manipulatively and then pretends like people are 'wrong' for noticing. You mentioned it about crime, but the entire world of Breaking Bad is absolutely, 100% absurd. We have a Nobel prize winning...

At no point though was Jesse where he was because of evil Walt. Jesse was in the meth business because Jesse was a drug dealer, before he met Walt. Jesse was involved with the cartel because he was selling the Cartel meth, BEFORE Walt. In Season 2/3 Walt broke it off with Jesse and was cooking...

Jesse being a "victim of Walt's" is a frustrating line of thought for me (Despite that you can tell even Gilligan WANTS it to be true). That loser belligerently forced himself into the business multiple times after he was free and clear. Everyone gives Jesse no agency, like he's a child because...

I agree in terms of the expression its probably not a good fit, but I more meant it as in "got what they wanted". Both of them, in writing terms, are on "fall arcs"--it means they are chasing the lie (What they want is not what they need, its destructive but they can't see it.) In this case...

Yep, literally like a couple episodes after that he went right back to hate. The pattern just made him terrible on rewatches because you really see how he's essentially there to be a constant fuck up to drive conflict for Walt. By the time he swapped back to disliking Walt again in Season 5, I...

I honestly couldn't stand Jesse. Every fucking problem, almost universally, was Jesse's fault. The entire series may as well have been called "Cleaning up After Jesse's stupidity", with a B story of "dealing with Rocky Dennis Skylar". The entire schism though between Walt and Gus was driven by...

Yeah, its frustrating. I'm starting to believe what you said is true, there is some kind of bonus for defenders. Once more, I got zero resists against the defending team. 170 resist on my Ken, out of 7 attempted debuffs; all 7 landed from an enemy Dizzy (Was counting because I'm testing). It...

Disney Considering Buying Spider-Man Back From Sony Just a rumor. If they do try and make offers, it will, I think, confirm the other rumors that Tom Holland was essentially supposed to be used to make Brie Larson more likeable and part of the reason Captain Marvel 2 wasn't announced is...

Wow, so a studies on differences in racial groups drew from populations thousands of miles apart....where those racial groups live as indigenous populations? You don't say. That's mind blowing. I mean why would you want to select subjects within the regions of origin and segregated from each...

Yeah, I was gong to swap SSbell's boots for a pair of HP boots with nice crit/attack rolls. Wanted to leave speed initially because I felt like getting the healing negation up before most healers would go was important; but that's useless against a Tama cleave if she's just getting nuked. What...

Speaking of defense. What your defense win rate in Arena? I've really struggling in Champion. My defense win rate is 15% and I'm pretty much being rolled by either Dark Corvus teams or Tama cleaves. I think my comp is working well enough though that those are the only two teams really...

Yeah. Offense has a huge advantage. In this case, I would have normally used green counters but I wanted to try out my new toys and ended up paying for it. =-/ Last few weeks baited me into complacency, since most of our matches I've sailed through and figured my Ken/Ruelle could wipe the floor...

Weeb. Wish they would let us see the whole guild rank list or at least look guilds up. =-/. We're ranked 169 right now. These guys are absolutely trashing us though. Which puts me a little at ease, because it means my build probably isn't junk, I just didn't have the gear to make it work...

In the guild war this morning, was the guild we fought against really high rank? I could only draw 3 times =-/ My 180 Resist ML ken and 150 resist Ruelle got armor broken and debuffed easily, so I figured they must have pumped everything into effectiveness but the damage of the opposing team was...

I think this is a the best criticism I can walk away with now that I watched it. They very nearly fell into the world building trap that a lot of fantasy shows fall into. I'm pretty biased since I love world building, so I enjoyed the show--but I can totally understand why someone people felt...

Not nearly as tiresome as complaining about complaining. Get off the forum, Snowflake.

Concern trolling and a bit of "you're just like them!" again. You get boring fast. =-/ Here are some thumbs up though for doing what you're told, at least you're reliable in that regard. If anyone pays money to see this there is more wrong with them than thirst.

I didn't res the thread. Someone posted the movie poster yesterday, you idiot. Do you know how these forums work? Get it together, man. Now salt me again. I want to know how butthurt you are.

Actually I made fun of you for NOT salting me. Try to keep up. And get out of here with this remember when shit; negs were anonymous, they were not the same thing. I LOVE salt on this forum because its not anonymous. I love to know who is fucking salty enough to take the time out to express...

So you come immediately when summoned. When I make fun of how salty you are, you instantly stop salting me. When exactly did you become my bitch? Some advice. 2 months on a discussion forum that moves as fast as this one is nothing; your post is still on the same page as the reply to it...
