They have life without parole and in Georgia, that means life without parole.

The only way they are ever getting out is through appeal/pardon or outright escaping. A plea deal for Federal hate crime charges cuts off the appeal route because they're still pleading to something with Federal prison time. A trial could end up being not guilty and if they win the state appeal, they walk.

The benefit to them here is that both spend 30 years in Federal prison, which is much nicer than state prison and they wouldn't have to be in protective custody or solitary like in state. The father dies in Federal and the son is moved to state after 30 years.

By going to trial now, they're not only wasting millions for nothing, they've opened up the door to possibly get out. Stupid move.
While what you're saying is true, it's not likely to happen. That's what they weigh when deciding to accept or not accept deals like this. The case against them is very strong so there is no need to make a deal on the off chance they get found not guilty.

I'm an avid DnD player and have watched Critical Role, so I was looking forward to this. After watching the first 3 episodes, I have to say it's pretty great! The plot is a bit "by the numbers" for that's ok since a lot of the audience won't be familiar with the game. That being said, the animation, action and character interactions are all fantastic.

Vex is my favorite character.

"In the Highlander franchise, human beings born with the power of "the Quickening" become immortal if they suffer a premature death by non-natural means (such as by violence)".

If not they live and die like everyone else.

Though not being fully immortal, other immortals still can sense you.

Also I recall when Duncan was a newb stabbing some lady he had a thing for just so she can become immortal.
I'm aware of all that. It doesn't refute my point, though. If Immortals can continue to be born throughout all of history then they'll never be "only One" because their numbers are no longer finite.

It also takes away from the point of them using swords as opposed to more modern weaponry.

Galactus is like the perfect mid-trilogy villain. He's a big enough threat to deserve some build-up, but he also transitions neatly into Abraxas if they wanted to further up the ante.
You're thinking in terms of power level and not actual conflict. Galactus isn't someone the heroes actively fight against like that. His defeats come at either convincing him to leave Earth alone or building a device to weaken him and then threatening him to leave Earth alone. That's not something that requires the entire Marvel Universe to do.

And yes, I'd rather go to Six Flags Magic Mountain or Knott's Berry Farm (owned by Cedar Fair) over Disneyland. Not that Disneyland is bad, they just don't have many coasters.
This. I used to live inn SoCal and agree with the differences between the parks. I ESPECIALLY miss when they'd transform into Knott's Scary Farm during October. That used to be the dope af!!

Having an angry face 24/7, even when in a resting position, isn't good acting.
It is when the character is supposed to be angry 24/7. Not sure why you're ignoring that part. It'd be bad acting if you didn't believe she was actually angry. But it sounds like you did, so not bad acting.

Did they say that with a character that appeared in one thing, then got their own movie/show/whatever? Because I've only seen positives in that regard.

Like BP, who was acted by the great Chadwick Boseman. Or Natasha, who was acted by the stellar Scarlet Johansson. I can't think of a single character who was in one thing to have a bad performance, then get thrown into another.

Generally they are all rock-solid.
She didn't have a bad performance, though?

And it's generally said before the show/movie is even out to judge the performance.

Like, it would be tough even if she was a major character. Having a relatively unknown character is asking for a flop unless it has some major star power or is combo show with another big character.
I can't believe someone can still think this considering how the MCU became huge to begin with. They didn't start with all their major characters nor star power. They've been betting on longshots from the beginning.
