One of the most egregiously superfluous uses of narration as well. Most of the film’s many problems would still obtain, but imagine how much better, or at least more difficult, it might have been (while no doubt appealing to fewer people) if it didn’t have Spacy’s wry narrative voice-over, not only unnecessarily descri…

Not to mention that EDITH probably recorded everything as it really happened.

Captain Marvel has to be the only role Hope has seen her in. I haven’t seen USoT, but have seen nothing but praise for her in it. And anyone who watches Short Term 12 or Room and judges her negatively should hang up their keyboard.

Old man Logan.

Impeachment without removal would be far from a waste of everyone’s time. It would result in the thorough public airing of the Trump campaign’s many crimes detailed in the Mueller Report (which would make it the more difficult to misrepresent as in any way “exonerating”) and the public record (if a victorious Hilary…

Rosetta is a devastating masterpiece.

I think you’re right that Euron could be the one to torch King’s Landing in the books, not Dany.

Euron: “I bring gifts.”

He would already have changed things by arriving in the past, let alone staying there. He doesn’t have to fuck with major world events. It would satisfy that branching nonsense merely by his being a quantity introduced into a universe that did not previously contain it - otherwise this branching (whereby an entire…

I have a hard time believing things go down like this in the books. I think most all bets are off now, and this early and deflating defeat of the Night’s King feels especially to me like a betrayal of the established importance and consequence given to the central plot points heretofore. Given the world-ending…

Rehaminator

Since neither Captain Marvel nor Thor appear to be participating in the quantum adventure, it’s possible they’re off on some other mission, but maybe they were casualties of a failed Plan A, and the remaining Avengers only have Plan B presented to them when Scott shows up after their return home in defeat. (This might…

I was talking about the books.

Oklahoma City’s fourth-ranked defense

But there’s the possibility that none of those mythic steps should be taken at all literally, let alone apply the second time around. There’s also the possibility that some of these steps will be satisfied by Oathkeeper and Widows’ Wail before the reforging. Let’s say it’s not so much about killing your wife as…

Yeah, but that’s what dragon glass is for. Again, I’m not totally certain about the show, but I’m pretty sure that the reforging of Ice will get us Lightbringer in the books. It adds another valence to “The Song of Ice and Fire,” it’s a great nod to Tolkien (Ice as a “sword that was broken” reforged for our hero-king),…

Great! Missed that.

They definitely haven’t said anything on the show. Presumably it went to Tommen after Joffrey died, and Jaime makes sense after Tommen’s death. Would be cool if the show was paying enough attention to detail to have Jaime carrying it without explanation.

You may be right wrt to the show. It could be they’ve abandoned Lightbringer like so many other things.

Wale is funny though!
