Are the LotR movies considered adaptations?

I never really played MK8 but a long featureless track with too many guard rails and no hazards sounds exactly like the original in MK64

lol even if it wasn't the main reason (it was), Qui-Gon's dying request was still very much a factor in why Obi-Wan trained Anakin.

That's enough to contradict what Obi-Wan said in Return of the Jedi, because he said that he took it upon himself to do it.

If you took it upon yourself to do something, you weren't asked to do it at all. That's the very definition of the phrase. If Qui-Gon died before he could ask Obi-Wan to train Anakin, then you might have been able to argue that Obi-Wan took it upon himself (and even that's a reach). Too bad that's not what happens, famalam.

Ah, that's another thing.

In Empire Strikes Back, Obi-Wan describes Yoda as the Jedi Master who taught him. Not "one of" the Jedi Masters who taught him.

That leaves no room for Qui-Gon to have even been Obi-Wan's master. His entire existence is one fat retcon.

doom's last 30 minutes or so are amazing BUT you had to slog through an hour and 30 minutes of meh-ness and an annoying sidekick and an EXTRA annoying heroine.

also Skull gets WAY too much hate. yeah Shia sucks and most of the action sequences involving him are bad but everything else is pretty great. and don't start me on the complaining about aliens. god melting nazi faces and men getting their hearts ripped out of their bodies is cool but not aliens? GTFO.

Obi-Wan was never depicted as some senile old man with a foggy memory.

If he could remember that Anakin was already a great pilot when they first met, he'd remember that his master was the one who wanted him to train Anakin. And there's no reason he'd forget about Qui-Gon when he was literally his master for several years.

• The death of Qui-Gon
• Obi-wan becoming a full Jedi (he was still a Padawan at that time!)
• Anakin being in the Jedi temple for some time.

Oh look, you've all gone and let Fenris derail another topic about China

FFS, wtf do you think would happen to the Chinese economy if they go to war with the west? It aint gonna happen, people. It would be suicide.

Just a nose contusion, hurts like a bitch tho. Try to get the Dr to give me perks but he wouldnt

My old workplace made us sit through a powerpoint that was titled something like "what not to do in business" and was basically just 40 minutes of them shittin on the Juicero

Green is only a primary color if we're talking about light. When it comes to pigments and the RYB system, it's a secondary color.

I wish I had all the powers of a level 20 D&D wizard with every spell.

very unlikely

• The west is fucking slow and lackluster with their reactions
• Russia is a mess
• Russia still has some territorial gains

Imagine being an experiment for an Elon Musk owned company.

Going from 786 to 795 should be 9, not 10.

These things seem like really minor details that most people probably wouldn't pick up on even in Japan.

You can find all kinds of people complaining about hollywood historical inaccuracies or other inaccuracies like certain animals being in places where they just don't exist but most people wouldn't know about these unless told about them by an enthusiast.

Day 39:

What is a tree's favorite beverage?

Root beer.

4/10, my eyes actually rolled.

As much as I dislike the post, I cant even comprehend a world where its moddable. What was previously said to me, the idea that its offensive to accuse an unaffiliated organization of crimes they havent committed, seems too ridiculous for me to even submit a report. I genuinely dont believe the mods care at all about that sort of thing; or if they do, they dont seem to show it.

I checked myself using Word's wordcount and these are definitely not accurate. Like I said, Yasuke's article has about 1,500 words bloated on to it by the References section. I'll concede that it turns out that Yasuke's article is longer by about 500 words, but again, like I already said, cut out the In Popular Culture Section and it's less than Akechi's. They have about the same in historical content writing with an edge to Akechi, Yasuke is just in more fictional media that Wikipedia thinks is worth mentioning.

But you want to know who has a longer article than either of those guys combined? Surprise, it's William Adams. Do you have any opinions on why that is now?

Assuming you're talking about Wikipedia, this is not true. Yasuke's article is significantly shorter than Akechi. They only appear about the same on the scrollbar (Yasuke's still being shorter here) because the citations section on Yasuke's article is longer. Nix Yasuke's "In Popular Culture" section also and Akechi's article's wordcount is dramatically bigger.

So, why did you lie about this?

Don't look at me. I didn't mark it.

Lockley said. Yasuke was one of the 30 men with the feudal lord. [...] Theres no record, but tradition holds it that [Yasuke] was the one who took Nobunagas head to save it from the enemy. [...] Yasuke, therefore, by escaping with the head, could have been seen and has been seen as changing Japanese history,

I did a little digging. Seems there's few accounts of yasuke, but what there is is reference to him being given stipends and having the duty of carrying nobunagas swords. Both are samurai things specifically. Bit odd that there's not more history about him though.

Hypnospace's post got modded but not Barber's? What the fuck?

Day 36:

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, what happens?

UCLA

9/10 NGL, it took me a sec. Once it clicked, though, I found it pretty amusing.
