I don't think this means much. There's already 5 straight to video sequels outside the main 4 movies and they're all bad. This is probably just another sequel.

I really liked this episode. It started off all Home Alone and then went Helm's Deep.

I think one part did sour it. The fucking sword. Did Arondir not notice he was holding a fucking axe? Why didn't Theo immediately go "yoooo wtf". What if Arondir was playing a trick on him?

Seriously though, I wonder what the last two episodes will be about.

Really digging Adar's character.

Honestly, it's a rather different type of villain and it does come off a bit chill. Like, he just seems really depressed and beaten down and just wants a home instead of some power hungry fuck.

Where's the link?

Movies are gonna take a while, but TV has been dealing with it for a while. Like someone said, SVU dealt with it a lot, even down to chatting about which vaccines they had taken.

Stabler's show L&O Organized Crime's first season extensively dealt with it and had them running around in masks. The main bad guy was some mobster's son who was expanding the family business into stealing PPE and vaccines and making money off the pandemic.

No it doesn't. Logan was just a one-shot set in its own self-contained universe like so many other comics

I mean, it wasn't. The director confirmed it was the future from DoFP's ending.

64 posts and no one said or posted "shut up Wesley"

Since that's Wil Wheaton's Tumblr.

How many ounces of what % alcohol are you consuming? You should be able to tell from how long whatever bottle takes you to finish.

I've been waiting centuries for Picard to be a playable character in a Fire Emblem game.

I don't mind things being canceled but this tax write off shit seems to wipe them completely out. Wtf.

It was just rereleased in theaters on Friday, but the impact thing has been going on since Disney got Fox and the release dates of Avatar 2 to like Avatar 6 were made clearer. Basically, who needs or wants that many Avatar movies lol.

They should have done this a few years earlier.

The movie was pretty meh and even a lot of the cast wasn't happy with the movie nor Rian Johnson. I think people love and hate the movie way too much. It wasn't really bad but it wasn't really good either.

I guess this mindset explains Googles recent decline.

This so much. Google has gone really downhill in the past few.

Don't worry, in a decade, there will probably be hundreds of Star Wars shows and movies. They'll eventually do everything possible because they have no reason to stop.

Has Sauron actually showed up yet?

Nope, not outside the opening flashback of the first episode. We've only seen like 5-6 possible candidates that could be Sauron in hiding.

My guess is those people were probably sent by Sauron to gather intel on what the Valar might have sent to ME.

Batman kicks all their asses.

I don't think it's that. I think he's assuming the Hero's Shade is adult Link from OoT.

Tyranthraxus posted...

No no. There aren't two links in a single timeline. One of them is just the ghost of the ancestor but it makes no sense for the shade to be part of the child timeline.

I'm not seeing what the issue with the Hero's Shade is. The Hero's Shade is not the adult Link from OoT. He is child Link that lived a normal life after MM and grew up into the proper adult Link.

How does any of this address the Hero's Shade from TP or the fact that Downfall Hyrule is in better condition than Adult Hyrule?

I did address the Hero's Shade. That's the child Link from OoT and MM. He eventually grew up.

As I said, the downfall timeline seems more like a place to just throw stuff instead of being anything consistent. Meanwhile the other two are pretty obvious and been talked about by Nintendo for a long time.

cjsdowg posted...

The defeat time line is what gets me. How is that possible. Like they need to go back and fix that some how. Like the times lines really don't matter but that one just throws everything off.

It's just a way to reconcile the other games that were before they thought of any timeline and were just making Zelda games.

Tyranthraxus posted...

There may be a split or whatever but that split is basically OoT > MM (child) and OoT > TP (Adult) and it stops there.

The published timeline makes zero fucking sense.

* Adult OoT link appears in TP but somehow causes the future of Wind Waker.
* Zero apparent repercussions of Link dying in "downfall" timeline. What the fuck is even the point of the game.
* Breath of the Wild contains contradictory time paradox shit incompatible with all three "timelines"

That's not the split.

As lucariopikmin posted the quote from Aonuma, adult Link saves the world but leaves to go back to being a child in the past. Then he gets lost looking for Navi, does MM, returns and is given no real credit. Ganondorf is arrested for plotting against the king and "executed ". Then TP happens.

Meanwhile, the adult timeline has no Link since he left and Ganondorf escapes and starts destroying shit. People pray for Link to return as he was the hero that saved everybody, but nobody shows up. So they pray to the gods, who decide to flood the world and that's WW.

Aonuma also said BotW is not anywhere on the timeline and was done purposely to keep people guessing.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Nintendo didn't throw it together. Dark Horse did and Nintendo was like "sure whatever"

Aonuma had been talking about the split child and adult timelines long before Hyrule Historia. The third timeline could have been a Dark Horse invention, but even that we don't know 100%. But Nintendo definitely made the two timelines after OoT very obvious.

I wonder where they got 8 months from. She was doing porn for several years. Even after she quit, she was still doing it on that site till last year.

Looks like a bussi.

They're going hard on confusing us on who Sauron is and who the meteor man is. We finally got to see what people have been saying could be Sauron, but it was clearly a woman. Could he have chosen a female form? Lol. Or maybe she's just the head cultist.

Also, after the Balrog in the flashback, I do now wonder if Durin's Bane will appear in this show like people were saying in previous weeks.

Also it seems clear now Adar is in competition with Sauron, and not working for him. But for what purpose? Morgoth?

I have a feeling it's gonna be a huge disappointment, but I'm open to be proven wrong.

I didn't get the impression that the parents were all evil. I think the main point was that, like the main kid, everybody was afraid of the main kid's father, who was like the main bully. One of the family members pleads with the father and he ignores it. In their anger, grief and fear, they all went along with it.

What happened to super heroes revealing their identities endangering their families and friends?

All of a sudden, it's not a thing anymore. Or are there just no more bad guys in the universe?

It was never really a thing in the MCU. That was the point of Tony saying "The truth is, I am Iron Man" in the first movie.

It only affects younger people like Peter.

One of the moons, Triton, which is covered in ice, so it reflects.

He could have easily survived and returned.

Motherfuckers get stabbed with lightsabers left and right nowadays and are chillin the next day.

Tom is supposed to be Tolkien imo.

Tolkien himself has said that there's really nothing to explain. He's an enigma and goes against everything else.

Maybe another form of creation Eru made for elsewhere and just threw him on Arda.

Zikten posted...

In the lore, nobody can supposedly carry it forever. Some people like Hobbits, can resist longer than others. I dont know if anyone in the lore has ever been confirmed to be immune to the ring. But it would be very interesting if such a person existed

At least in Middle Earth, Tom Bombadil is completely immune to any effects. The original plan was to give it to him since it won't do anything to him. Gandalf tells them the problem with that is that since it has no effects or power over him, he'd forget about it and lose it. So they decided with the Fellowship.

I tried to a couple of years ago but never continued it.

24 episodes already planned is an odd decision.

They had to destroy the Ring because it contained a part of Sauron in it. It would be too risky to just shoot that off into space.

Also, I think the place Morgoth was banished to is considered space, so it wouldn't be a good idea to leave that open. Though I doubt the Ring would be of any use to Morgoth.

I haven't really seen them all. I liked Cinderella because Lily James is hot as fuck. Beauty and the Beast was alright.

I really liked Aladdin because it gave the most vibes to the original movie. Just saw it again last week. Also, Will Smith was great and both Jasmine and her assistant were really hot.

Maleficent was pretty good imo. Never saw the second.

MICHALECOLE posted...

aladdin, jungle book, beauty and the beast, Cinderella, and Snow White were all good to great

lion king was disappointing, and it seems like Pinocchio was terrible

but seems like the majority are good

The Huntsmen Snow White movies were not from Disney.

I used to collect some anime and manga back in the days in the 00s.

I tried getting into figures like 5 or 6 years ago, but that's when the prices started jumping. Looking at the similar figure lines today and the prices are almost 3-4x MSRP than just 5 years ago. Ridiculous.

I've always enjoyed him since Two Towers and and Doom (lol) and he's been in lots of memorable roles. I do agree he overshoots a bit sometimes, but he's still great to see. I also loved his McCoy in Star Trek as well.

He's been in shit for decades at this point, so it's good to see he's become rather big now.

They were less prepared becaused of Civil War, what happen due to her actions.
And if this is not fucking with someone's mind I don't know what is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRUmRwkcR9A

I disagree. That is what Thanos was coming to do and Tony did everything up till IW to prepare, like with his tech, and it was because he saw what was coming. "Cursed with knowledge"

If you take that away, they have zero idea of what's coming. Ultron never happens. Banner doesn't end up on Sakaar to eventually encounter Thanos and return to Earth to warn everybody. The team stays together, Scott never meets Cap, Thanos arrives with several stones and gets the rest and snaps. No Endgame without Scott.

cjsdowg posted...

And he only did that because Wanda -----ed up his mind. And she never had to pay for that either. Wanda is the living embodiment of why Cap was wrong.

She didn't fuck up his mind. She allowed him to see what Thanos was coming to do. He then went and told Banner to do the Ultron program, which had already been in planning stages and Banner knew about from before and agreed to.

If anything, if he hadn't known what she showed him, they probably would have been even more unprepared.

darkmaian23 posted...

Doesn't that guy Elrond is working for basically have to be Sauron? Because the elf king sent Galadriel away and declared the war over so he could pivot their civilization to building that giant forging tower the guy wants? You know, the sort of thing that would be great for making magic rings?

But maybe I'm getting the lore messed up because it has been years and years since I read any Tolkien. I'm still not sure if the guy who is with the not-quite-Hobbits is Gandalf, Radaghast, Sauruman, or an original character. And I keep expecting one or both of the Blue Wizards to pop out of nowhere and help Galadriel.

Celebrimbor is the Wraith from Shadows of Mordor. In the actual lore, he was tricked by Annatar to create the rings.

If they go with that, then Annatar (Sauron) can be a totally different character not introduced yet.

Ultimately it's Tony and less so, Banner's fault for trying to create Ultron, which led down the path of breaking them up and then leaving them unprepared for the main villain.

People still want this and learned nothing after what just happened with Nintendo and Sony.

Forget the high prices, digital leaves you entirely at the whim of the company.

People are coming to Hawaii from all over the world by the hour. It's highly doubtful they wouldn't be suffering as well.

The island needs be to remote and have very little visitors from other places.

The more I think about this show the more I think it has amazing potential to be a show (spoilers for first 4 episodes and some posturing) of immense tragedy

I think they are obviously building towards the battle and having Isildur cut off Saurons finger as the season 5 ending.

But they have so much more potential to build these characters up for a huge tragedy. Basically every storyline is doomed already. Elrond and Celebrimbor and the one Ring. Galadriel failing. The south lands becoming Mordor. Halbrand becoming the Witch King. The Dwarves unleashing the Balrog. Im confused about where the boy with the magic sword is going but I guess well see.

its like the Empire Strikes Back of LotR. I think Im more excited for what this show represents than what it is. The idea of them setting every character up to fail, but knowing itll all be resolved by the trilogy is a risky idea if thats what they are going for. But with some more quality writing I think they could definitely pull it off

Are they really heading towards waking Durin's Bane? I thought he was awoken a couple of thousand years later.

Anyway, yeah, I get what you're saying. I think that's an interesting way to go. I think at the end, they will end with the implication that all this is eventually lost to history till Smeagol finds the Ring and starts the chain reaction that leads to Sauron's final end.

Also, I think Theo will somehow be sacrificed, like blood sacrifice. Either to make the blade whole permanently, or some kind of essence put into the creation of the One Ring. The reason will be because he's Halbrand's son.

There was always going to be another Constantine movie and Matt Ryan is a TV actor, so we would have gotten someone else. I'm happy they went back with Reeves. I really enjoyed that movie and his take.

I think it's cool that the MCU keeps it chill while others go hard. It's good to have both options.

Kind of similar with GoT and LotR right now. Both fantasy, but one is obviously brutal as fuck while the other doesn't need that outside bits here and there.

Deadpool was able to show everybody that there's a market for violent adult superhero stuff.
