    The Book of Boba Fett

    Wookieepedia says his armor is made from beskar AND durasteel. The wookiee scalp braids is old information long before Disney, I think it was in the old PC encylopaedia "Star Wars : Behind the Magic" that I first picked that up, and maybe also on the SWCCG cards that contained little factoids...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Yeah, Wookiees as a whole hate Trandoshans, who regularly raid Kashyyyk and enslave them or worse. Remember in one of the early episodes of Book of Boba Fett, one of the tributes offered to Lord Fett is a Wookiee skin, given by a trandoshan vassal. Funny thing is Boba Fett had wookiee braided...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    While I'm not a fan of the endless trope of "super strong characters keeps throwing his prey around and into walls instead of just punching through them" (see : Terminator Salvation), it's worth noting that Boba Fett and this wookiee have worked together in the past for some contracts (in the...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    There isn't a point, which is why Disney hasn't announced a Knights of Ren series. This is just a terrible fake. As for Boba Fett, this was a very good episode in my opinion. I think the flashbacks are done, Boba is "fully healed" and the past story has caught up to the present, so the story...

    The Expanse

    I second that. The Marco Inaros part is mostly a huge filler episode in a series of otherwise very interesting sci-fi, and Laconia is the main antagonist of the entire series so it'd be a shame to stop yourself at the series' apparent ending when it's so much better afterwards (though I still...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    It's more like Boba walked into Mos Espa and picked up ALL the sidequests and now he has to try and please every party and grind every faction. I thought the Tusken stuff was cool because we never learned much about those despite seeing them in several films, I'm liking the Jedi/Sith-less...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    I don't think they're done with the Tusken story. I mean, his time with the tribe is, obviously, but when Boba went to talk with the Pykes they said they had dealings with the Nikto bikers and the biker gang is, apparently, behind the destruction of the Tusken camp. It's rather obvious the...

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    I'd argue the lackluster writing is probably related to its huge success, it was a lot more accessible to the plebs than other fantasy series. It got zillions of kids and people who never read anything to suddenly read 500-page books over a few days. They even named a medical condition after it...

    The Expanse

    At the risk of repeating myself, the Marco Inaros arc almost killed my interest the book series, so I'm not surprised to see it killing interest in the TV show as well, it's slow and boring, packed to the brim with drama mostly about people few viewers like or care about, and takes you away from...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    I'm not even convinced he's still trying to get it finished. I think when the ending of the TV series was heavily criticized, he realized even if he somehow did drag his fat ass from the couch watching football to his writing chair, he'd still have a bunch of unhappy readers, since a lot of...

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    I'm (sadly) almost finished with the Republic Commando book series by Karen Traviss and it's very enjoyable. The first book is what I expected from a series named like that but then it goes into an unexpected direction and gets even better. I highly recommend them.

    Hawkeye

    If you're talking about the fight with Kingpin, it looked like he was pulling his punches against her, mostly throwing her or shoving her away, he was even smiling several times because he found it cute/amusing that this girl is trying to hurt him. And then he exploded.

    Wheel of Time

    And it was the same in Darksiders too, there were pathways floating in the wind with octogonal tiles and pillars.. and probably in several other games I haven't played. It's not like anything is original in this day and age. I get the complaints about the cast being a bunch of ugly browns and...

    Dishonored 2

    Both games are much more challenging when you're attempting ghost runs (no kills, not seen by anyone). It's also fun, but killing people is fun too, so your milage may vary.

    The Expanse

    The prologue of the first episode of season 6 and the trailers showing a glimpse of a Laconian dreadnaught hint that they intend to somehow go beyond the Inaros arc, otherwise it'd be a really odd decision to include this stuff in an already short season it has no relevance with.

    The Expanse

    Honestly, even in the books where you could will yourself to imagine Naomi looking like Zoe fuckin Saldana, the books centered around her whiny ass, her psychopath ex and their dumbass son were a huge drag on the franchise as a whole. I'm not sure hot casting woud have helped all that much.

    Wheel of Time

    Y'all clearly aren't showrunner material. They're playing the long game, she was cast for a specific scene in season 4 where she has to chomp through her a'dam to break free and seize control of the Seanchan Throne (overthrowing Jussie Smolett as Tuon).

    Wheel of Time

    Not to defend garbage writing when it's there, but I'm pretty sure that scene in particular was meant to demonstrate the prejudice people (and especially Nynaeve) have towards Aes Sedai and the White Tower in general. Most folks have no idea how it works or how it's organized other than "them...

    The Expanse

    Right, I'm just saying these small story points aren't worth 2 books or 2 seasons of the show. It could have been explained in a much shorter way and without dragging us through Naomi's family issues.

    The Expanse

    Without spoiling it for the people who have yet to read the books, it's safe to say you could remove almost everything that happened in the Inaros arc and still have the same basic story in the final book. The only things that really happened during his arc are the unification of the Belters...

    The Expanse

    I've not watched this new episode yet, but I have a feeling releasing the last novel around the same time as the new season is going to backfire. I mean, it raises interest, but it also juxtaposes arguably the worst story arc of the franchise (Marco Inaros and Naomi's family shenanigans) with...

    I liked it. I was wondering how they'd end the series and the conclusion was satisfying for the most part.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wasn't replying to you. Bro. I've seen that KKK hat controversy, it's silly but if I have to choose I'd rather people crusade against pointy KKK hats than turn women paintings into bowls of fruits. Small victories and all.

    No, the Demon Hunter starting zone is Mardum, a barren world that Sargeras used as a prison for demons early in his mission to purify the universe. Later when he was corrupted he shattered the planet to release the demons to start his crusade. Nathreza's destruction is detailed in the book...

    Not sure why I bother, but Eredar were already space goats as far back as Warcraft III... they had horns, hooves, and we went to another planet to fight them. So they've been in the story since 2002 when Warcraft III came out. The only retcon they did in Burning Crusade was reveal the Broken on...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    While your idea would of course be better than whatever random thing Danuser throws darts at, they already exploded the Dreadlord homeworld (Nathreza) in Legion prologue stories. Illidan invaded their homeworld with his Illdari, stole the Sargerite Keystone and used it to open portals all over...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I concur that picking an Azerothian to become the new Arbiter wouldn't be a good idea because most of the stories around Shadowlands already revolve around Azerothian characters and I agree that Azeroth is already too much in the universal focus (even if it's understandable for a story to...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    The game only begins once you beat Hades though. There's a TON of options and story you'll miss out on if you stop after beating him just the one time. You need at least ten wins to get the first ending, and more than that for the true ending.
