My God, the resemblance is uncanny.

To be fair, skinny jeans are pretty weird, yo.

The magical ballistae are also able to reload faster than a semi-automatic. Why, just imagine how hard it would be to pull those strings back and to reload those ballistae otherwise! It would take five men to pull the cord back, three to load the bolt, and one to be cut in half when someone doesn’t cock the string…

Yeah, I was spitballing with Vision, but I like what you said there. And LotR comparisons creep into everything eventually.

I tend to look at it similar to a One Ring deal. It depends on intent. Thor wields Mjolnir to protect the Nine Realms. Vision wields the Hammer to. . . prove his worth? And Cap wields it to save the world. I’d also say it’s tied in to if they WANT power. Sam doesn’t want power, so the One Ring has no real temptation…

It was a little lucky. Once Barros saw that no kick was incoming, he was getting ready to counter with a wild hook. Daniels’ punch happened to be faster and straighter, even though the wind-up for it started in a different post-code. Still, points for style, guts, and sticking the landing. 8.7

I was referencing Arsenic and Old Lace, a delightful screw-ball comedy.

I’d take him over John Conner in T2.

Last year, I worked at a summer camp that had the triple-combo of Hayden, Aiden, and Hagen. Yelling at all three of them was...interesting.

That’s a loooooooooooonnnnngggggg loooooooooonnngggggggg maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Except all that sounds fun and watchable.

If you have yet to explore the insane possibilities of advertising, allow me to introduce you to the six minute romantic-epic that is Long Long Man.

I’m inclined to think it’s the latter more than anything, as well as the visual aspect. If it’s a cultural thing, then it’s bad world-building. Any culture that did not adapt it’s tactics to night time combat would be defeated and wiped out pretty quick. Even the Huns, the OG wild horde, had basic cavalry tactics,…

I didn’t get a good look at their armor, but if it was light cavalry, holy shit.

As long as we’re making movies, I’d like a screwball rom-com where Peggy Carter has to hide Steve Rodgers from nosey neighbors throughout the years. And the neighbors are killing drifters with arsenic. Call it Arsenic and Stars and Stripes! And get them a dog. People love Asta!

Looking back, they also had more episodes. Getting cut back by four episodes might not seem like much but that’s 4 hours of storytelling gone, so that must have hurt them too, regardless of the budget.

This is only my second season of GoT (well, 2.5. I did watch Battle of the Bastards and Cersei blowing up King’s Landing), so I can’t say how the writing. It does seem like everybody is an idiot or too loyal to stop the idiots or just ridiculously sadistic and selfish.

But don’t worry! We’ll light all your swords on fire so it’ll be real obvious where you are and they’ll see you coming from a mile away!

I still want to know who ordered the cavalry charge. Somebody thought it made sense to have the heavy cavalry charge blindly into the night against an enemy whose numbers they do not know and whose battle-order they do not know. Why didn’t they wait until they saw the enemy? Or better yet, why be outside the castle at…

I think my main issue with the “You’re gonna need back-up,” scene is that I just saw Captain Marvel fly through a space ship bigger than God that had all guns blazing at her and didn’t even tousle her wig. There was nothing about Thanos’ army that looked like she couldn’t have ripped apart with her bare hands before…
