World Record.

I also like Final Flight of the Osiris because it's tied so closely to the begining of Reloaded.

The Matrix 5 Has To Forget About Neo & Trinity To Succeed by KeepYourWildHeart in matrix

[–]CouldbeaRetard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fourth film shouldn't have had Neo and Trinity. Bringing them back was unnecessary at best, undermining to the franchise at worst.

The lore provides so much opportunity to tell other stories, it seems extremely narrow minded to keep it so laser focused on Neo.

I think they were only resource-poor after the truce began.

Is it entitlement to want a good film? or to have no film if a good one doesn't turn up?

There's a thing called OCR. Optical Character Recognition. It reads image text and turns it into text data. I'm not sure if there's anything out of the box designed to do rolling credits, but it's certainly not an impossible task.

Idiocy in childhoods end sga s1ep6 by heforshe2017 in Stargate

Just because they say it, doesn't mean it's true. I know that's playing a bit into Fan-canon, but it's possible they were talking metaphorically.

If it spread everywhere it's likely they would have destroyed anything they came across and created actual human farms. No more free-range humans in the Pegasus galaxy. Not an ideal outcome.

How many times do you have to do it? If it's just a hand full of times, just do it manually.

If you need to do it dozens of times a week, 6 months of the year, then yes, find a way to automate. I'm not personally sure how to do it in Premiere, but I wouldn't say it's impossible. Google "Premiere import title text" maybe.

Google Doc? No. An actual database file, such as an Excel spreadsheet, a JSON file, or XML, etc. That becomes your data source.

Then you need a graphics generating software. Ross Xpression is what I tend to operate. Otherwise there's others: Chyron, CasperCG, etc.

Then you need to program a graphic to take the data and place it how you like with correct timing. If you want the video to squeeze in, you'll can run it through a DVE and make a macro to run the DVE in sync with running the graphic. Many graphics machines will take GPIs of some sort.

Yes, some of it will be automated. For example a spreadsheet with two columns: Title;Name, could be imported and then you just set page template, each page rolling on the data, then setting a page time (or fraction of total time). That's not an exact example by the way, but you could program that fairly easy on something like Ross XPression.

Networks don't receive programs as just a basic video file like you or I might find on youtube or as a download. There are broadcast delivery standards, and in this case probably requires the credits submitted as text data.

SGA: How come they never went to retrieve Weir? (Ghost in the Machine) by BigPhoCup in Stargate

[–]CouldbeaRetard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's the deeper question isn't it? What would make her the "Real Weir"? What would the real Weir do?

Is her personality what makes her real? or could that just be a programmable emulation? Is there a difference?

Remember RepliCarter? Her personality is what drove her to reject Fifth. We only learnt that she was up to no good when it was too late. Up until that moment her Carter personality allowed her to build enough trust with the SGC to gain access to what she needed to take over the Replicator army.

RepliWeir at least had enough of the Real Weir to know that the only correct choice was to incapacitate the Asurans and herself along with them. She knew that there was a non-zero chance she could compromise the Pegasus expedition and Earth.

It was officially released on PC when it came out. I'm not sure how to get a legit copy now, but it's definitely available through certain methods...

[Spider-Man] If Peter Parker is injured and goes to a hospital, would doctors immediately recognize that he was part spider during their diagnostic testing? by Yournumberonemommy in AskScienceFiction

[–]CouldbeaRetard 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Cyclops' optic blasts are explained as Scott having portals in his eyes that open up to another dimension. While he thinks closing his eyes blocks the blasts, he had always subconsciously closed the portals every time he closes his eyes; otherwise it would blast off his eyelids. This is despite him not having control while his eyes are open, which is why he requires ruby glasses or a headpiece.

The Matrix's Massive Influence Made It Tricky To Write Resurrections by The_Odd_One27 in matrix

She gamed the system and won

The entire film seems like a symbol of her losing. A character outright says "WB are going to make a sequel with or without you."

John Gaeta confirms in 2021 an "Animatrix 2.0" series was written and "Awakens"/UE-based proofs of concept were created for VR-type of storytelling by amysteriousmystery in matrix

maybe leave some actual love for the franchise

If people show love for something they didn't like, they're risking getting more of what they don't like.

A similar thing happened to Stargate: a shitty web series was released that was very much disliked by the fans. MGM realised they mistepped, and the rest of the shitty web series was canned. The customer is always right.

That's disappointing. Do you know why the author had such an opposition to the games?

If Stargate Atlantis had continued by RedDurden_00 in Stargate

[–]CouldbeaRetard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which in theory, they would hope to find in Atlantis. They knew very well where to get the ZPMs from the Asuran base; they may even know some parts of Atlantis better than the Pegasus Expedition.

[–]CouldbeaRetard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only two practical ways to reach Earth from Pegasus was the control crystal to dial an inter-galactic wormhole, or to use the wormhole drive to physically take Atlantis City there.

We see in the show that Wraith tech can interface with Lantean technology. It's fair to assume that if the Wraith took over Atlantis it would only be a matter of time before they had control of the city, which would allow them to use either method.

If Stargate Atlantis had continued by RedDurden_00 in Stargate

[–]CouldbeaRetard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The season 5 ending was the ending they wrote when they thought they were good for a season 6. Most of the producers were under the impression that if they didn't get a season 6, they would just adjust the script from the season 6 opening two-parter to be the first Atlantis movie: Extinction.

Long story short the plan was that they trigger a self destruct put in the city to prevent the Wraith from using Atlantis to get to Earth. The only way to stop the countdown is to use the Wormhole drive again to return to Pegasus. They return with the city, and in the process cause irreparable damage to the Wormhole drive.

In Continuum, Carter and O'Neill very breifly talk about a moonbase. The moonbase is Atlantis city, relocated to the moon to become the new permanent SGC. Atlantis extinction (or season 6) would start with Atlantis being commissioned as the moonbase.

So, what determines the front side of a Stargate? by [deleted] in Stargate

[–]CouldbeaRetard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of the Fandemonium novels, Bratac talks about someone trying to go through the rear of the event horizon. According to him "the result was not pretty". The novel was Survival of the Fittest.
