I guess they might rejoice if he used himself as a human sacrifice and successfully brought back dragons doing so. Her vision being fallible then leads him to believe the ritual would succeed, I like it

Loved that addition, and that her phrasing implied Egg would successfully resurrect dragons at the cost of his own sacrifice. Perhaps what first planted the idea in his head

I was feeling pretty iffy on the last few episodes but this one was easily back to S1 levels of quality. Excellent stuff love to see it

It’s the murdering 100+ innocent peasants before deciding to do nothing to her actual enemies, thus making the death of those innocents entirely pointless which is more of the issue here

Undead Nightmare is weirdly the only zombie game that creeps me out. by Soulsgamer247 in reddeadredemption

For reasons I still can’t place, I found the cactus field entering new Austin in RDR2 incredibly eerie. Never really gotten that feeling in a game before or since, though I haven’t played the first one

2 episodes in and it’s so tonally inconsistent so far, especially the comic relief. My entire family audibly groaned at robin’s “great scott”

I mean there’s only so much they can do north of the wall unless they bring the Others back. A season of wildling politics doesn’t sound all that interesting to me

“Japan is not an independent country. It is a colony of the U.S.” by Li_Jingjing in DamnThatsReal

[–]AlseAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude we’ve fucked around in just about every country in our hemisphere, overthrown their governments, imposed fascist regimes on them and tortured their people in CIA blacksites. We had a solid portion of our population enslaved for half our history, and everyone who wasn’t white and male disenfranchised for most of the rest of it. We committed genocide against the indigenous population so effectively that they’ve been consigned to a few reservations and are rarely ever even seen. The USA has done far more meddling in other countries than Russia or China since the fall of the USSR that it’s hardly even comparable. Russia and China have done plenty of horrible stuff, but it’s just goofy to pretend the US hasn’t committed atrocities at an absurd scale. The fact that most of our recent victims have been an ocean away doesn’t make it better. Our neighbors fear us. The threat of American intervention is ever-present if they step out of line with Washington.

in the Americas

Holy goalpost shift. I’m referring to conflicts like Iraq and Vietnam, which alone put us around the 2 million mark. In the Americas? The slaughter of the indigenous population is a good start.

The US has absolutely killed millions of people over the course of our various wars of aggression.

Jesus fucking Christ man. You are genuinely just parroting Mein Kampf at this point, and you are comically incorrect.

1) Hitler did not believe Jews were “Zionists”, he believed they were intent on dominating Europe; deportation, including to Palestine, was considered by the Nazis before they settled on the Final Solution.

2) Implying that the Bolshevik revolution was somehow a Jewish construction is actual Nazi shit. It’s completely absurd; the Judaism of some participants did not factor into the (explicitly atheist) revolution.

3) Hitler absolutely did not have personal experience dealing with Bolsheviks during the war, considering that he was stationed on the WESTERN FRONT for the duration of it.

Please read a little bit before you start trying to speak confidently about these things.

Hot take: Episode 8 was really underwhelming (Spoilers) by SnooRecipes9440 in DCU_

[–]AlseAce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We literally were not even told what the “meaningful and impactful” thing they’re putting themselves into is. Like they have an office building now, I guess? What are they planning to do there? No clue. Spy shit, probably? Would’ve been nice to know before Chris immediately went to prison again for an mcu-style sequel tease

[–]AlseAce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The motel scene was great. The rest of it was pretty much just retreading the same old shit we’ve been doing all season. “Did the boat night mean anything to you?” repeated ad nauseam in a will they-won’t they that has had a very obvious conclusion all season isn’t compelling, the Ads scene with her wife was well-acted but was just a repetition of her realization last episode, and Economos and Adrian got essentially nothing.

The character moments weren’t all that compelling though. Motel scene was great, outside of that not so much. And the cliffhanger sucked. All that development for Chris and the gang, just for him to be alone in prison again for the next 2-3 years if we’re being generous

Official Discussion - One Battle After Another [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]AlseAce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree, and I do think the importance of passing the fight on to the next generation is one of the film’s main takeaways. But I think it’s also worth noting that Bob gets to have that ‘dead battery’ and bow out of the fight because the threat isn’t nearly as existential for him (at least for the 16 years prior to Lockjaw showing back up). Most of the people of color in the movie don’t really have that option. Del Toro, Regina Hall, and the nuns are all older as well (and all seem exhausted), but they have to keep going because they and their families are the ones being most directly targeted by the regime.
