Yeah, this album is actually pretty divisive, I’ve found. When I first heard it, I was blown away. I loved it. Still do. So I showed all my friends. Right down the middle; half loved it and thought it was great and could see how it helped launch a genre and many sub-genres. The rest HATED it. My best friend loathes it…

Not 100% on topic, but similar. A few years ago I had a 2010 WRX that I had plans for. My wife and kids all knew I loved her like a family member, and would make fun of me constantly. I literally loved that car. Flash forward some time and there’s a huge torrential storm that ends up flooding my apartment complex, and…

Oh, I see what you’re saying. I sure hope not, though, or my disappointment will only deepen, and I did still want to give it a chance.

I’m just going off the director’s comments.

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not like I’m just speculating. Both the director and the original author said so.

Fair enough.

The director only used the first book because the latter two were still being written at the time he drafted the adaptation, so the very core of the whole mystery has a totally different answer. It’s almost an entirely different premise at this point aside from the basic “mysterious boundary, women walk through, find…

Seriously, I loved how he presented it. “Blah blah blah random story stuff blah blah, feelings and pontificating, blah blah, ANSWER TO THE WHOLE MYSTERY, blah blah blah …” I could almost hear the record scratch as I ground to a halt to re-read the part and go “wait what, I can’t believe I almost missed it.”

No, you’re correct. I just read the trilogy a few weeks ago. The barrier was expanding, and The Southern Reach was well aware it was. The main character/reader just isn’t told that until about 2/3 of the way into Annihilation. I’m really not digging this Shimmer thing. And without using the second and third books as…

I get what you’re saying but I also feel like that’s kind of the point. It was Snoke that connected their minds, and Kylo explicitly says the effort would kill them to do, so it’s something that only Force users with power and control in the extreme can handle. Snoke was also stated to have been more powerful than…

Vader didn’t absorb it, it was just his gloves.

I’m calling it now: Tony makes her a new suit with the red and gold. “It’s a gold-titanium alloy, with a little hotrod red to keep it classy.” *winks and shoots finger gun*

He has what he thinks are good intentions, but innumerable murders ON TOP OF multiple acts of genocide, mass enslavement on more than one occasion, and totalitarianism through dictatorship are pretty evil things he’s done. I mean, he only even had a Green Lantern ring to begin with because he let the GL who let him…

I just really can’t get into Annihilation anymore after that last trailer. Which makes me very sad. I was so stoked.

I came here to rant to this effect, but you made the point very succinctly. For every Alien, he’s also made a Prometheus, so … yeah.

She chooses what she looks like. Sometimes it’s the above, sometimes not:

Yeah, I agree, just saw the chance to nerd out and took it lol.

Lex actually dies from radiation poisoning caused by long term Kryptonite exposure at one point. He gets better, because comics and clones, but Kryptonite is bad for everyone. Just REALLY bad for Kryptonians.

This. Retconned as also being the reason his skintight suit takes a lot of punishment but is rarely destroyed, but his cape is constantly in tatters.
