    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    When did the pro bowl stop being a real game anyway? I swear when I was a kid they played relatively seriously.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    They at least could have handled it better. Why would Aragorn even have them? Why would he carry them all the way to Weathertop instead of handing them to the hobbits at Bree? Why couldn't Elrond or Galadriel have had them? Why make a point of vaguely including them in the movie but then NOT...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I'll be damned, I could have sworn they got them back in Isengard just like in the books but the sword Merry presents to Theoden clearly has a horse motif on the pommel. That being said her movie dialogue is not significantly different from the books aside from being dumbed down out of...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The swords Aragorn hands to the hobbits at Weathertop are clearly meant to be the four barrow blades, and just like in the books Eowen would have died without Merry's help. The death of the Witch King is barely different from the book at all.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Animations that were designed solely to look right from first person don't look right outside of first person? Imagine my shock.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The departures from source became more and more pronounced as the movies progressed. Aside from turning Gimli into comic relief and badly mangling the Nazgul chase/confrontation at the Ford of Bruinen, Fellowship followed the book pretty closely.

    I almost feel like picking on the show is beneath me at this point.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I'm always willing to blame stupid players for stupid penalties, but the footage I can find of this looks like refball bullshit to me. No obvious signs of taunting so exactly what the fuck did he say that was worth a penalty?

    Those people lived in Middle Earth before the fall of Numenor but I suppose that wouldn't stop Amazon.

    Bezos is a fucking idiot for thinking he could make this show without the rights to the Silmarillion.

    I for one think it would be far more entertaining for you to just watch games and people field your questions in this thread.

    Now that I think about it, is Annatar even in the appendices? I assume so but don't wanna go dig up my copy.

    The IP isn't dead, just make a "parody" of Rings of Power except you parody it by actually being a good show.

    Imagine going to the trouble of hiring a Tolkien scholar for the show and then firing him when he gives you an honest opinion about your awful writing.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The only time she legitimately looks a bit ill is her being pale and depressed in Rivendell. The other scenes with her being sick are Aragorn dreaming and Sauron trying to deceive Aragorn with the Palantir in the extended cut. If the idea was for her to be wasting away because of the power of...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    For the most part Jackson just spelled out directly what was mostly just hinted at in the books, and made the forging of Anduril into a more significant event that Elrond had to be goaded into doing. Remember, movie Elrond was there when the strength of men failed and he doesn't believe that...

    Yeah it's the worst of the three movies but I certainly don't hate the third one. Whoever controls the green lines controls Southern California! lol

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Gotta shove in lots of pointless filler when you're stretching a relatively short book into three movies. There was no point in turning the Master into an inept joke of a villain either except to stretch out the runtime farther. no

    House of the Dragon

    Being the rightful heir is important but it doesn't guarantee you anything, especially when a large faction of the kingdom hates you and you're out of the capital when the king dies.

    The dude definitely has big plans for Genesia. My personal favorite is Holocure which is an enemy hell based on the Hololive Vtubers. I know absolutely nothing about the culture and don't get the majority of the references in the game, but the actual gameplay is fantastic. 20 unique characters...

    Andor

    It's a continuity error courtesy of a lack of communication between different groups. Probably Kennedy's fault, god knows damn near everything wrong with the new era of Star Wars can be blamed on her. Mon Mothma openly denounced Palpatine and was publicly declared a traitor to the Empire before...

    It's crude but they aren't wrong. The whole thing is a bunch of hookers trying to shake down an 85 iq degenerate too stupid and/or cheap to pay extra for discretion.

    The Woman King (2022)

    Well nowadays we know the whole 'he a good boy, he dindu nuffin' is literally never true, so why exactly did his mom send him to live with relatives in Mississippi instead of keeping him at home in Chicago? Trying to keep a delinquent out of trouble?

    Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

    They could have come up with any number of better titles, including "Monster" and just including an extra word or two in the title to distinguish it from the movie about Eileen Wuornos, like "Monster : Jeffrey Dahmer" or "Monster : The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" without the first Dahmer.
