Indeed. The opera house episode was a damn near masterpiece.

The sad thing is, the majority of the criticism Spectacular got(and still gets) comes from people that have never actually watched it and base their arguments mainly on their dislike of it's visuals. Usually hardcore and militant fans of Spider-man TAS. And if somebody actually happens to have a criticism that's not about the art style, they usually just try to compare things to TAS and not judge the show by it's own merits.

These are also the ones that tend to use the fact that it only lasted 26 episodes to determine it's overall quality. Well then if we go by the logic that the longer a show lasts, means it's a better show, then that would make Ultimate Spider-man the best one.

I wasn't aware there were criticizers of spectacular, and what's more they happen to be tas fans, but as someone who grew up with tas and loved it to death as a kid, there is no comparison; Spectacular Spiderman is leagues ahead. And not just because tas is actually kinda bad, but rather because Spectacular Spiderman is just that, spectacular. I mean hell, it's greg weisman.

The worst part is how it got screwed over. Disney buying Marvel combined with Sony owning spiderman's movie rights meant that the show's ownership was up in the air and it was just in transition and the fact that they ended it for the piece of crap that is ultimate spiderman, a show with 100+ fucking episodes over spectacular spiderman's meager 26, is just downright criminal. It's inhuman.

What could have been.

Out of curiosity how is the format easier to use for info threads?

Much higher character limit and better formatting options for thread authors. Native tables and in-text links (as opposed to just URLs like here) are a big plus for informational threads. And in an info thread you usually don't give two fucks about any of the comments so that part is irrelevant.

Native tables? What does that mean? I might need to see this.

No, it was a moratorium placed on the C. S. Lewis estate's right to sell the books' film option.
Waldon Media failed at renegotiating their contract at 2011 because the C. S. Lewis estate disliked the direction of the future movies, and The Mark Gordon Company got it in late 2013.

I think I heard something like that.

But are the movies really the reason people ask about the lotr books over the narnia books?

Also the dragons are cool. Also I like how Hiccup weirdly starts to look really handsome as he matures into an adult.

this is something that makes no sense as far as space issues go imo.

there's inherently nothing to showcase in the absolute majority of TV shows out there that warrant such a high quality.

4k movies, however...

I love movies, but... it's a movie. It's one 2-3 hour file with some extras. A TV show consists of a hundred episodes, each at 20 minutes at least. Why wouldn't you also want it in HD or feel it's not warranted?

I can't tell if some of the posts saying 6 tb or 4 tb are being facetious, or being completely serious in demonstrating that this is somehow radically larger than 1 tb, rather than just pennies worth. That's nothing. I'm asking for something close to a petabyte's worth of size, no less than half that or (judging by the fact that it hasn't been available commercially yet) at least a quarter of that, but definitely no less than a quarter of a petabyte.

You'd be surprised how quickly 10 TB fills up. You know how many movies and shows exist nowadays, HDified? 1 Series in 1080p, or hell even 720p, takes like 100-150 gb. That's a tenth of a terabyte gone. For one tv show. Now imagine 20 shows. Then there's the 200 top quality movies in existence for the past couple of decades.

It's just not enough. I might settle for half a petabyte, but why isn't petabyte size commercially available yet?

Something like 1 petabyte for external hard drive, or hell I'll even settle for 500 TB external hdd (like when 500 GB hdds were considered to be a lot)

With the advent of HD, movies and shows take up so much space that 1 terabyte is basically like, pointless. I don't know where all my data space went, I just have no more room for shows and stuff!

On amazon 1 TB hdd still seems to be the standard.

I didn't like most of the humor in the movie. They did a complete 180 on Drax' character taking him from a serious character with a tragic backstory to just straight up comic relief in the second one. The Gamora/Nebula sidestory just felt forced so there would be something for those characters to do in the movie. I didn't care for any of the new characters who were introduced except for the villain because Kurt Russell is an American treasure and he can do no wrong. The music overall was worse, with the one exception being imo when they played My Sweet Lord as they were flying across the villain's homeworld. I liked it more than probably most of the Marvel movies, but I didn't think it was nearly as good as the first one.

Now that he's been able to avenge his family, I don't know where they can take the character.

saspa
01/28/18 12:16:56 PM

Twilight princess is a disappointing piece of garbage, and even those guys at nintendo have admitted as much, with them wasting a year of precious development time on porting the game to the wii. So many ideas that they chucked out the window, which is why the game is so boring. Barren lifeless overworld. Lifeless Hyrule Town. The OoT Hyrule Town actually felt more lively and interactive than the TP one, can you believe it? Boring wolf sections. And more garbage.

Wind Waker has a lot of flaws but a lot of good parts too, and it's a shame that the criticism when the game came out was over it being cel-shaded, although I can't blame fans if Nintendo did a bait-and-switch by showing a fight with adult link and ganondorf in that one E3 or other expo trailer (nintendoworld?) So that's on Nintendo.

Even Skyward Sword, which is also pure garbage because of the motion plus requirement (and subsequent tedium) has like one or two nice parts about it (but also lots of problems like a near barren + tedious sky overworld) though it definitely isn't one I'll ever replay, ever.

But TP is simply irredeemable in the disappointment and waste of a game department.

That's probably because LotR had a very successful movie trilogy and Narnia sorta kinda dropped off after Prince Caspian.

Did they even make any other movies afterwards?

They made The Voyage of the Dawn Treaderin 2010.
The Silver Chair is supposed to be filmed in late 2018.

Huh, I didn't know that. I just assumed they stopped making them after Prince Caspian.

Disney left after the second movie and Fox did the third.
Then the license expired and nobody could touch it for a couple of years for some reason, and now Sony is making the fourth movie, or something like that.

I think it's more like nobody wanted to touch it. Disney screwed the series by desperately wanting the 2005 lion witch wardrobe movie to be the next lord of the rings, and advertising it as such instead of a kids' movie.
