Meh, anecdotal. My mom has had a Ford Escape since 2010 when they were still cube shaped and its never started falling apart even after over 300K on the meter. 2010 and before Fords were quite literally just built different. Anecdotal or not I like cars/work on them/a few of my BILs are mechanics so it isn't terrible advice to say take the practically steal of a car to the mechanic in case the tape falls off the axles. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

| C-zom 03/30/24 3:32:23 PM #13 | 150k miles before shit starts totally falling off the frame is generally what you should expect out of Fords, especially escapes. Not being a troll, I would genuinely put the thousands you saved on this "deal" and wheel it into a mechanic (not a corporate spot) you trust to get work done. It could get you to 200k easily if you put 1-2g into it and no glaring issues are found.

Seems like the show might not be for you. I like the show a lot but I get it. My main gripe is that Mark and Amber's relationship really drags the show down. I like Amber and I like Mark but their dynamic just doesn't work for me. I felt like the pacing got shot behind the barn. Season 1 felt almost like superhero Xcom to me, lots of expensive but low tier solutions to a galactic threat and needing to research how to stop it. Season 2 has absolutely jumped the shark by introducing so many alien societies, lowering the stakes, removing the aura of mystery behind the main antagonists and just making them 2D. Flanderized Space Occupiers is not what I expected. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

| Topic | Invincible Season 1/2 show questions with spoilers. |
| C-zom 03/28/24 2:29:00 PM #1 | I'm going to be honest here. I've watched every episode up to date because it hasn't lost me completely but we're... getting close.
Cecil, his MIB and Guardians are D-tier at best. They job, lose, and get massacred all the time. Invincible bounces up and down his power curve like I've never seen a protagonist do before. I am also tired of the brakes being beaten off him over... and over... and over... and over. And over. And yet, he retains plot armor. From what little I know, Battle Beast should have killed him alone. He's lost a dozen more times to different enemies. It's always get walloped, recover in a hospital, get better, don't train, tell Cecil "nuh-uh!" and run to his gf or college. It's been this way for 14 episodes. I have an aversion to multi-verse stuff even before the modern Marvel trends, and I'm groaning hard at the robot drones and extra invincibles being hinted at. Is this really going to be a thing? Just starting to think it isn't for me, or I'm missing the message here. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

I'm curious as to what some of these mean. What is spice rewrite? Jihad has been notoriously neuteured, with the exact word itself being rewritten in both movies. Paul undulates between various descriptors, all in "his name." Jessica has nothing to do with any of the meta plot but you'd argue she has all the keys by watching Part 2, including Alia. Alia was a supernatural being with all the memories and life experiences of her ancestors. She wrecks shit in battlefields, and kills the Baron due to his genetic disposition see: Jessica. Baron is much more sinister, cunning and effective. He's supposed to be a Fool King, but instead actually gets close. Small, but still a rewrite. He shouldn't have banked on that duel and suddenly found honor. Emperor is a wimp and barely in the movie re: Walkens advanced age. Not much else to say. He's a powerhouse of aged doctrine in the books, and a feeble old conspirator in the movie for... 3 minutes of scenes. Spice guild, navigators, their omnipotent power and reach are 120% ignored in both movies. Why can't you invade with armies? Why can't you nuke enemies? Why does the emperor tell me where I'm living in advance? All of this is unexplained in the movies, Guild in the books. Spice is a naturally occurring stimulant in the books that leads to both insanity and clairvoyance. In the movies, it's a cultural thing. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

Wait you think LotR is faithful to the book but the Hobbit isnt? They both took plenty of liberties adapting to the screen. Fellowship was a sign of things to come, and both sequels sucked.

Things get changed in adaptations to fit medium structure. The only thing there that I think is really arguably an issue is the use of the word jihad. Yes I know guild navigators are really important to the logistical world building of Dune, but they're not strictly needed because knowing that spice is essential for the universe is already sufficient information for the plot to work. Out of context, sure. In context? No explanation of limited solar power, troop deployment, nuclear stockpiling, spice hoarding outlawed (legally), the Emperor's machinations... tell me when to stop. Their sanctions are so goddamn important to the special flavor of political intrigue. Not even a cursory mention of the war of assassins. Without the navigator guild being the presently omnipotent force they are in books 1/2, then why have spice at all? It makes eyes blue and people trip balls, according to casual viewers. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

I have a friend who's read every book and would talk about Dune before the first movie came out and I saw Dune 2 in the week early showing with him.

It was heavily lacking intrigue and suspense, I felt. Still enjoyable to watch. Agreed. It's very straight forward. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Sorry, movie. I mean to say that Part 1 was very faithful and mathematical with the adaptation part of things and Part 2 comes along and says, "How about I make a fan fiction instead." --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

If his actions harmed the invaders, won back territory, minimized samurai and clan deaths and kept their regional stability (see: dgaf about the villages) he'd have been a mystical figure of importance to them. They used their codes and laws to be, at best, neutral and at worst much like a crime syndicate of today. Honor and all that bent to excuse their actions.
