    What If...?

    There's other ways in other universes, not in this one. In this one, the only way for him to be Sorcerer Supreme is to lose Christine in the car accident, that's why it cannot or should not be prevented. Supposedly in our universe his hands being severely damaged is a fixed point as well, and...

    What If...?

    What you're missing is the show's entire premise. In our universe she never died, but in this universe being explored in episode 4, her death not only happens but is a fixed point, it cannot possibly be stopped (and if you impossibly do it, game over). Every universe is going to have different...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    I'm just wondering if the people bitching here about Angrboda being brown were also frothing at the mouth with rage when they learned Heimdall would be played by Idris Elba. Other than that, this looks like a great game based on this trailer.

    Aliens: Fireteam

    The xenos being super numerous, charging straight at you, being bullet sponges and their blood not being acid just makes me even more disappointed that this game wasn't developped to take place in the Starship Troopers universe.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    As much as I despise Shadowlands for some of its terribly flawed ideas, they did bring back some elite areas in every zone, and the World Quests there require groups, but the problem is that it's all done through the faceless LFG tool and it's quick and done in 2 minutes without anyone speaking...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    In a way they had a better formula back in vanilla where some of the outside world had elite areas that required groups to be able to quest there. It made some of the world feel more dangerous and that was pretty cool I thought.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Apparently the main dude who plays Shang-Chi is also considered supremely ugly by China's standards, so I guess that's two for two. At least Michelle Yeoh is still pretty good-looking at her age.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    You're just regurgitating your redpill dinner, that's not an explaination. Explain to me how your enjoyment about martial arts scenes, scenery, acting, humor is dependent on China's politics for this film or other films filmed with a release in China in mind?

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Without going into spoilers, it's a self-contained story but the very end (mid-credits scene) brings in some information that will likely thicken the plot down the road.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    And how is that related to you thinking Shang-Chi is a good movie or bad? Is a movie bad because it was made with/for China? Is it good because it was made AGAINST China's wishes? What the fuck does all this have to do with whether the movie was fun, entertaining, bad, etc?

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    I agree, it's a huge market. But this thread isn't talking about ticket sales hurting because of China's move, it's full-on going into entering war with China because of a bunch of reasons unrelated to this movie, and that shouldn't be discussed over entire pages in a thread dedicated to talking...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    I'm not blind to it, I just don't see what the fuck it's doing in the latest Marvel movie thread. There's a reason why the Politics forums was put behind doors, that shit should stay in there. As for that video, I believe it's the third time I see it in this thread, or maybe it's other movie...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    It has nothing to do with the actual movie, only the perceived politics surrounding it. Y'all see everything through your goddamn redpilled prism and it's so pathetic. The Movie House is meant to be the place to talk about what you thought of the trailers at first and then the movies, not to...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Went and saw this tonight, it was a lot of fun. A mix of humor and action from MCU movies but not too much humor that it was jarring, and the action was great. Here's my non-spoilery thoughts : The martial arts scenes were nicely filmed and that's a change from the shaky-cam bullshit that's so...

    Wheel of Time

    Amazon has spent a billion dollars on Lord of the Rings, you can bet they're not going to allow anything to compete with it, especially if it underperforms (as this likely will). Releasing two heroic fantasy series around the same time on the same channel is one weird ass idea.

    Wheel of Time

    My understanding of Rand and Mat's attractiveness was that Rand is very tall and his red hair and blue eyes make him stand out and attract looks, and Mat isn't ugly of course but mostly he's very charming, he's basically Han Solo in heroic fantasy. Anyway I wouldn't worry too much about this...

    Wheel of Time

    As I recall, none of the main cast is described as strikingly beautiful in the books either, the only women I recall Jordan really describing as beautiful are Elayne, Lanfear, Graendal, and that green ajah chick who has several warders and bangs them all.

    Wheel of Time

    If you want to be technical about it (you don't), this is perhaps one of the only franchises where this could possibly make sense, as it takes place in the far future where society has gone medieval after a massive cataclysm but prior to that it was an advanced society probably full of melting...

    Wheel of Time

    I mean, you see Rand several times in the trailer, and you see Lews Therin crying just before he unleashes his power to create Dragonmount, I'm not sure what else you expected. Did you want Dr Strange stuff happening all around the lead trio to "show" ta'veren as threads of fate pulling people...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Gotta love kids. I haven't played Skyward Sword since its original release on Wii but I remember the early game is indeed a little odd, you spend some time in your sky village meeting people and doing some random tasks until the game really kicks into gear, similar to the farm early in Twilight...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    The villains in this movie are redesigned, some more than others. Jamie Foxx already let it slip his Electro isn't blue anymore, and we've seen in the trailer that his lightning is yellow now (like in the comics). Doc Ock has a slightly modified trenchcoat and the tentacles are a little...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    I wouldn't count on Venom showing up especially now that Sony has its own franchise with him, but the Lizard is apparently in the trailer so he may show up with the other villains. Also from the trailer I'm going to say Sandman is a good guy, the sandwhirls appear to be blocking Electro's...

    What are you playing?

    I know I'm very late to the party but I only just now discovered the Ori games (on Switch) though I had heard great things about them and I really like Metroidvania games. I finished Ori and the Blind Forest (Definitive Edition) and fell in love with it, the smooth gameplay, the responsive...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Having played Ghost of Tsushima 100% and having watched a full Let's Play of TLOU2, I definitely concur it should have won GOTY before TLOU2. I mean, on a technical level both are very solid games, but TLOU2 felt sooo fucking bloated to me, it just gets very boring and the perpetual grimdark...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah it was half-assed, like most things for this expansion and for a few years now. The only real time I saw covenants as enemies was like I mentionned during the venthyr campaign, but the kyrian campaign takes you to Maldraxxus and none of the maldraxxi seem to mind, same with the maldraxxi /...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree it wasn't a good idea to begin with, and I understand most people care more about gameplay than story, but when they try (emphasis on TRY) to tell a story, I don't mind if the gameplay reflects that a little including having some limitations as long as they make sense.. but when the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be fair, I can understand the lore reasoning behind putting some retrictions on how easy it would be to swap covenants early in the expansion because at the time the coveannts were clearly not on friendly terms for the most part (for instance the venthyr having to sneak into Bastion or else...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    Vulture is probably not gonna be a villain anymore after the end of Homecoming, but remember they introduced Scorpion at the end of that movie, so he's going to show up at some point as a minor villain.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    It looks super cool, very excited to see this. I agree Strange's tampering seems out of character (though he's also known to be on the experimental side of magic, and as he grew into his role as Sorcerer Supreme it's possible he also slipped back into his bad habit of showing off and trying...

    Dark Souls

    I am rather terrible at Dark Souls (only played Remastered and didn't finish it) but I really got into Sekiro and reached the final boss (and stopped there because I didn't have 50 hours to throw at it to actually beat said boss). There's indeed no levels in Sekiro so you won't be able to...

    Everquest Confessions

    Speaking of Necros, time for another confession.. During Velious my guild on Povar was farming Avatar of War (not anywhere close to cutting edge though, we did it rather late) and smaller guilds sometimes did other stuff like Vindicator nearby at the same time, Kael Drakkel was cool for that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Interesting. I've only ever played a little bit of Morrowind and played through Skyrim out of curiosity after its twenty-seventh re-re-release because everyone was talking about it and making memes out of it, but I can't say I felt hooked into the story or the world of Tamriel.
