    I like him well enough when he's together with Sean but he got progressively more intolerable as the series went on. Seemed to coincide with when I saw Dule Hill's name start showing up as one of the producers.

    To be fair you already knew Thane had a fatal disease back in ME2.

    I never romanced him but everyone should look up Thane's death on youtube and how different it is if you romanced him during 2. Right in the feels.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    I mean it's a charming movie but while it's bending over backwards to romanticize Samurai culture, it leaves out the fact that the Satsuma Rebellion was largely about maintaining the privilege of the Samurai caste, not 'warring over the soul of Japan'. Also a great many Samurai remained loyal to...

    Which is funny because Gawain has a pretty pivotal role in Excalibur. He was played by Liam Neeson.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    I'm not, the Arthurian mythos is one of those worthless bits of knowledge I know quite a bit about. P.S. I guarantee if this was one of the later stories where Gawain was portrayed in a more villainous light, they would have cast a white dude.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Maybe because you didn't ask a question? But it's fine, just admit you don't know who the petty kings of the Arthurian mythos are and that you've never read or watched anything beyond maybe that Clive Owen movie.

    A pleb like you probably doesn't even know the story of Tristan and Iseult(Isolde). Can you tell me who King Pellinore is without googling it?

    The Green Knight (2020)

    I will say that I'd never heard of Sir Moriaen before today. But he's also a completely unimportant minor character, whereas Palamedes was a major rival/eventual comrade of Sir Tristan, even to the point of avenging Tristan's murder by slaying King Mark and being in turn murdered by Sir Gawain.

    Palamedes was added to the Arthurian mythos around the same time that Lancelot's bastard son Galahad was.

    There was basically zero quality control during the NES era, any shmuck could make an NES game and Nintendo didn't care.

    Best movie of the past 20 years?

    There's an extended scene in the movie where he shatters Gandalf's staff and is about to kill him when Rohan shows up and he's like 'oh I guess I wont take the ten seconds to finish you off before I go deal with this new threat on the battlefield'. He's also the one who stabs Frodo, although...

    Best movie of the past 20 years?

    "Men" refers to the race created by Iluvatar, not 'Males'. Hobbits are not part of the race of Men and afaik their origin is never clearly laid out, they just sorta moved into Eriador one day.

    god yall are fucking clowns. It was Merry and his Barrow-blade that caused the fall of the Witch-King and he even spells it out for you a page or two later. Yes they changed it to pretty much full on girl-power in the movie but don't shit talk Tolkien's work if you're just ignorant. "So passed...

    Best movie of the past 20 years?

    He badly flubbed a lot of the story. Basically buried Merry and Pippin's character development, turned Gimli into comic relief, chose poorly with what scenes to cut from what he did film, and didn't really capture the desperation of Pelennor very well. It's ironic that they easily could have...

    I looked when he first made that claim. Aladain's comments were in the same vein that many of us have made that maybe we should defund the police because they're becoming increasingly worthless and/or the enemy, not because 'oh my god they are murdering unarmed blacks'

    You mean it was used differently in the book? Because otherwise it was still completely invincible and utterly necessary to the survival of Gondor.

    Best movie of the past 20 years?

    Batman Begins was ok so I took it too far by calling the whole trilogy shit, but you replace Ledger's performance in Dark Knight with anyone else and the movie gets exposed for a big pile of nonsense and plotholes.

    It was a pretty shit movie (like the rest of the trilogy) propped up by a literally once in a lifetime performance.

    It's funny that I had a few guesses about where Demon Slayer was going that I found out were pretty much all correct when some shit got spoiled for me. I do wish that shit hadn't been spoiled but it's not enough to turn me off from continuing to follow the series. Conversely every guess I make...

    See I like Zenitsu as comic relief in the middle of the combat arcs, I don't like that they also use him for the complete zaniness that the series bogs down in between demon fights.
