I admit, I was one of the people who were pissed at the changes. Only played a couple of hours, but I do appreciate (for now I guess) that it's still the same edgy Kratos and the combat is still over the top when it comes to gore. I still prefer the Chaos blades over the Axe because it made combat look more flashy.

It gets flashier as the game goes on. Some of the fights and bosses are insanely good.

I'm loving the hell out of it so far.

Same. Kind of a metroidvania style open world that I'm loving.

The story, the characters, the combat, all extremely different, yet it still feels like apart of the franchise, and a good one at that.

Why would you want to give him an even bigger headstart on finding the stones

It wouldn't give him a headstart on anything except getting eaten by Galactus at the creation of the next universe.

Thanos whoops Galactus.

No he doesn't.

Yes, yes he does.

Thanos without the gauntlet can face off an unfed Galactus, but so can a lot of people. Thanos with a gauntlet and several gems? Galactus is terrified. At that point Thanos is one of. The strongest beings in Marvel.

The results of the movie are centered entirely around the stupid decisions of the heroes, which cheapens the villain just like it does them. And that kind of sucks because Thanos is very clearly the best part of the movie.

They were UNDERSTANDABLY stupid. Everything fit the characters.

imagine how scared all those children being deported must feel when they are being detained and thrown back across the border. maybe don't wear a shirt supporting trump unless you understand the gravity of what that support entails.

Yeah, no amount of condemning the shirt it's meaning justifies acting that way to a child.

Starlord just found out the guy in front of him killed his love. Of course logic goes out the window.

Re-iNcarnated posted...

I never said Thanos could've shrugged Mantis off in time. Mantis has shown proficiency in putting god like beings in stasis.

That's your hypothesis, if you want my hypothesis, Strange could've just used some magic to push Starlord away, after reversing for a second.

And this is all presuming Strange hasn't seen this future, where Starlord willingly blows the whole op.

Strange let it play out for the endgame yes.

That's an in-dimension response. Not a viable explanation for an outside critique.

That's similar to when you do your best to patch up a bunch of fucks at the end and act like you knew what you were doing all along.

The patch up this time around was the horrendous writing (starlord blowing the op and Strange not using the time stone).

Neither of those were bad writing.

yknow what ive always wanted? a movie where no mistakes were ever made and no conflict ever escalated

thats the true sign of good writing

The Dark Knight did a pretty good job of that, even moreso for a superhero movie.

You know, except for all the decisions that led to escalation.

Something being in character doesn't prevent it from being bad writing.

Yes, it really does.

You can't brush off every annoying or stupid scene with saying "they're human". It's a poor defense for bad writing.

It isn't just "they're human", it's that their actions fit with their established characters. All of those encounters went as they should have given what we know of the characters.

the bad guys in dr strange were able to escape from the time stone, I don't see why Thanos wouldn't have been able to

because he didn't know how to use it then, he knew it post dormumu

He knew how to use it both times. The problem is that unlike Dormammu, Strange couldn't have worn down Thanos no matter how long he kept him there. Thanos wouldn't have bargained.

I edited my comment.

Dormumu couldn't, it's not Thanos escaping time, its rewinding Starlord from shrugging Mantis off Thanos.

It wasn't about Thanos dealing with time, it was about rewinding Starlord before he fucks it all up for everyone.

Thanos could've escaped the rewind. Just like the baddies in Dr Strange did. Dormammu was different, he wasn't being rewound he was just stuck in a loop. That would've accomplished nothing with Thanos.

Starlord had to hit Thanos for a couple of seconds before Mantis was shrugged off, any moment within that timeframe, if he reversed it, with Mantis still on Thanos and Starlord failing to get Mantis off, would've done the job.

Like i said, it's not about Thanos reacting to time, he was already in stasis. It was about stopping the moment starlord hits Thanos, reversing while Thanos is still in thanos and working aroun it to get the gauntlet off.

Remeber they only needed a fraction of a second more.

According to them. Most likely Thanos could've shrugged them off as you said. And even if he reversed Starlord, he would've kept attacking Thanos, again accomplishing nothing.

it's funny to think about the journey of Thor. He wants to protect Earth because of Jane, but he broke up with Jane...
he wanted to make his dad proud, but his dad is dead. he wanted to be a hero to his people, but his people are dead.
Almost everyone he has ever known over the 15,000 years he has lived is dead.
Except of course, the Avengers.

Like any motivation he had from the other movies is completely gone

He still has half his people!

Movies just don't want their characters to be smart these days.

So many problems could have been avoided.

Literally every dumb decision in there was in character. They're flawed and human.

Gender roles are a social construct, not gender itself. There are obvious differences between men and women that are evident during development. Now what role they play in the world? Thats up for debate.

No. What you described is biological sex.

Nope, he described gender. Sex is the physical version, gender is the mental.

The conservative answer to this should be "if you don't like what the teacher says, don't take his class". That's what they use for virtually anything that offends liberals.

First off, it's a little late for that in mid-April.

And secondly, this isn't a case of this student being offended because he's a sensitive nancy. He's being berated by an idiot professor who's acting emotionally and unprofessionally. The conservative thing to do in this case is remedy the situation by getting the incompetent professor shitcanned.

I had a conservative professor that was very opinionated and willing to share his opinion about things. And that's fine.

His response if he came across something he disagreed with was to say he thinks thata stupid and then proceed to debate it or teach about it and run the class normally.

Despite having completely different opinions from my own he was one of my favorite teachers ever.

Thjs professor didn't handle political disagreements professionally at all and attacked a student, to the point even his liberal students complained. He needs to be fired.

Lol I saw that post. Yes Einstein, every illegal immigrant has committed at least one crime. Care to guess what illegal thing they did?

This has already been covered. They haven't by the standards of US law.

How is illegal immigration not illegal?

If it weren't illegal, the government couldn't deport them.

If they were brought here as kids or if various circumstances made leaving not a reasonable choice, then they don't fit the Mens Rea qualifications.

But you agree the other 95% that knowingly came here did break the law, right?

Nowhere close to 95%, and there are circumstances beyond that that would cause issues, though they're usually more edge cases.

Keep in mind, I'm not against deportation, I'm against it being a standard response. It should be treated like everything else in our justice system, by looking at the circumstances and responding in kind.

That may be true of legal immigrants, but illegal immigrants have all broken at least one law.

Nope. Ones brought here as children aren't guilty under our legal standards.

i mean your first mistake is using t-mobile

Lol T-Mobile is the best carrier in the US easily. Sprint and Verizon are overpriced trash, are locked only to US networks or well their own networks which is absurd and make even something as simple as sim card switching a bitch. Then there's AT&T which is well AT&T. And then you have the cheap budget carriers after that.

Tmobile is shit here in Oregon.

I'm looking for shorter, "contained" series(something like Gundam where there are several series is fine, just suggest specific ones) with lots of good action or suspense. Not really set on any specific genre or type.

who diagnosed you? a 300 an hour psychiatrist? thats not gonna do you any good

some odd and intrusive thoughts of violence,

Doesn't literally everyone get those?

Not quite like this. Like, one time I was walking through a grocery store and saw one of the workers had a box knife on him. I suddenly had detailed thoughts about how much damage I could do and how quickly just by grabbing it and slicing him.

They tend to be very specific thoughts that then distress the individual by making them worry about himself.

Found out about a kind of OCD, Primarily Obsessive, that has few physical tics but comes with some odd and intrusive thoughts of violence, and frequently had those afflicted worried they're a psychopath or a pedophile or a danger to their loved ones through random compulsive thoughts.

Wish I'd known of this before, it explains so much and makes me get interested in revisiting my diagnosis o.o
