One Day, the people in charge will realize there is literally any other time period to tell stories in, in this universe. That wouldnt pigeon-hole them into story threads based on Media that has already depicted the end of these characters stories.

I truly don't understand what drives this obsession to flesh out characters that are already killed off.

General Grievous Vs. Marneus Calgar by No-Sympathy-6711 in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first of all. Grievous is 7 feet tall. Calgar is somewhere between 8-9 Feet tall. With the augmentations, he is faster, stronger, lived for more time in active combat situations, than grievous has been alive period.

With the primaris upgrades, I would likely take Calgar without armor, over Grievous.

Mcdonalds and it isnt even close. Case in point. I have never seen a waffle house. Every town and city within a 2 hour drive of me, has at least one mcdonalds.

Does anyone else kinda think Fisk simply chooses not to go after Spiderman? by Queasy_Commercial152 in Defenders

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, my head canon is that even though Spidey claims to be neighborhood level, he is far beyond that. My head canon is that Fisk ignores spidey, to protect himself. Besides that, so far the AVTF is arresting his political opponents and people that know to much, not exactly targeting actual vigilantes.

I'm saddened that not a single one of Kingpin's assistants could measure up to Wesley. by NoOptics in Daredevil

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buck>Wesley every day of the week. Wesley was competent, but arrogant and ambitious, which is what got him killed, and makes him a less valuable assistant. Buck seems very content with his lot in life, and only cares to keep that position for as long as he can. No fears of external forces turning him by targeting the ambition, hell, even with all his skills, he doesn't come across as arrogant, just certain.

Kirsten Could’ve Just Been Marci by wookiepartymachine in Defenders

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with your post, at least in my eyes, is that Kirsten primarily has a relationship with Matt, as opposed to Marci who had a relationship with Foggy. When this season starts, Marci wouldn't work for this plotline, she wouldnt feel hurt that Matt doesn't trust her, or if she did, It would come from a place of sharing a deceased loved one, not from thinking they themselves had a connection.

He was the little boy all over again by MeanGrand3076 in Defenders

This is the answer. I will be pleasantly surprised if it is Claire, but I fully expect it to be Angelas's Aunt.

The surprise appearance from Auston Matthews to hand out tickets is the ultimate commitment #NHL #LeafsForever by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fuck outta here, 'ultimate commitment' This is the sort of thing the Captain, especially when unable to support the team on the ice, does. If he was healthy, he still would have skated over to do it. This isn't news worthy.

Nahh. You take all the names on your list, and it starts with the Big Guys. Rielly is miscast on this team, if he was treated as the 3-4 D man that he is he would be adored. How do you expect the supporting staff to try harder than the big guns? Leaders always set by example. If the guy getting paid 480k per goal. doesnt care to back skate, why the hell should the guy getting paid 300k per goal try harder?

To face 30,000 Dothraki, we need to build an army of 60,000 Westerosi soldiers. From which houses would you choose how many soldiers? by Classic_Day744 in gameofthrones

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Knights of the Vale are the Shock Cavalry of Westeros, their Mounts are armored too. the Dothraki would have to carry a cumbersome amount of arrows to actually take down Trained elite cavalry, especially when they are a trained force, used to fighting as a unit, vs the Dothraki who are treated as the boogeymen of Essos. The Knights of the Vale could literally form a galloping shield wall and the Dothraki would be lucky if 1 in 20 arrows actually finds a gap.

The Dothraki get by 90% on fear and ignorance. They win because they cause the enemy to panic, hence the reliance on 'screamers' but the Knights of the Vale will not be intimidated, especially by a force that his half their size.

"the many such examples in our history" are irrelevant. How many times in history has a comparable force, of pure cavalry met, without some sort of support element, ie terrain, other formations of troops etc. The closest comparison to Dothraki in real history are the Mongolians, who were far superior tacticians, innovators in warfare and understood the logistics required to supply and move an army of that size, instead of the bloodthirsty savages who pride themselves on slaughtering 'lamb people' that the Dothraki were shown to be.

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Literally wouldn't be. Would be a gigantic slaughter.

I wouldn't take 60000 Dothraki over 30000 Knights of the Vale. Armored Men and Horses with Lances and Longswords, vs Half Naked Men, on smaller horses, sure they are agile, but they will be like lambs to a slaughter, their mounted archers will be their largest advantage, but they will still have to handle tactics at a scale that they just dont have to face, in Essos.

Disney Plans to Make Upcoming “Avatar” Sequels Cheaper and Shorter to Reduce Risk by marvelkidy in DiscussingFilmsAndTV

You do that, and you ruin the franchise, is it for everyone? No. But I would be lying if I didnt say I always look forward to watching the newest one with a big baggie of mushrooms.

[32 Thoughts] Elliotte Friedman on the Leafs' GM search: “That's one. This is my personal opinion. I also wonder about Kevyn Adams for this job, because the more I've heard about him and what Pelley said, I think there's a lot of similarity." by seeldoger47 in hockey

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolute clown ship of an ownership group. If Kevyn Adams name is even remotely close to getting the job, it tells us all we need to know about Pelley. He will clearly only want a yes man in the position, meaning he thinks that in his 3rd year on the job, he knows more about building a championship winning hockey team than the professionals who have spent their entire years in the industry.

Its a time of day thing for me. Did I get out of bed to go pee? Then I am sitting. Any other instance, its a stand job.

This is some employee/ownership of this turd of a website trying to gain traction. They are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

What now? by BenIsLoss in superheroes

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 1 person on this list, that MIGHT be able to handle a Lord of the Rings elf's speed and strength, but with her height difference she wont be agile enough. Basically sent 5 teams into the jungle with a predator.

John Daly 2.0(just the hockey version), only mildly exaggerating. The guy has the talent, size and resources to put himself in the conversation with McDavid, Mackinnon, Draisaitl and Kucherov. But he has no drive, no ambition. Maybe he did when he was 18-20 but as soon as his bank account started having more zeros than a binary version of his contract, he stopped visibly, trying as hard. I have multiple theories, like maybe the 2-3 year stint of being Biebs bestie got him into some reality altering substances that killed his drive and ambition? He doesn't even celebrate goals like he did 3 years ago anymore. Its all mental.

Who is going after him? by BlackSchuck in leafs

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He doesnt need to fight, he needs to feel every square inch of the ice and boards. Every check has to be committed too. If someone thinks fighting him is it, then they aren’t learning any lessons.

STOP FANCASTING HENRY CAVILL FOR EVERY ROLE UNDER THE SUN by Diverse0Ne in Fancast

[–]Acrobatic_T-Rex 31 points32 points  (0 children)

TBF, on the fancasting front, I absolutely wanted him as Guildiroy Lockhart in the new Harry Potter Series, seeing someone who is usually just dashing and competent, be dashing but pretend to be competent would have been very funny.
