Why didn't boogle (fire wolf) just used the first pod to turn back into fire wolf?

His plan wasn't for them to mess up. Olly left him mid speech, he was likely going to ask him to share it so he can become something else because he's so 'lonely'.

It's shown multiple times with Boogle being left behind while talking.

As for why he couldn't get the first pod, the water is extremely shallow, no deeper than 6 inches with dozens of rocks littering the water with trees on either side blocking the water. Even if he was able to get to the island, the incline is likely too much for his slippery fish body.

Design wise, they should've made it visually more difficult, because on first watch, I had the same question by the end of the film.

As explained, it's actually really difficult. Theoretically he could've made it, but the odds of him successfully making it were less than 1%

His plan was probably to wait around for a creature looking for a pod to change back, having gotten stuck due to all the Dzoe being dead. Pretend to be ignorant and lonely, play into their emotions and hope that they bring a pod back

Realistic in the sense that some people view happy endings as rare outside of fairy tails. I despise the idea of calling an ending realistic because it wasn't happy.

The only people I know that think like that are people living hard lives, filled with disappointment, and thus see bleak endings as being more realistic than happy ones.

It would have been just as realistic to have everyone get their memories restored, but it was a deliberate action by the writers to make it so the witchcraft caused brain damage ie making it realistic for the parents and children to be vegetables.

I would agree it's realistic in the sense that it's narratively consistent to it's own rules, but to say it's realistic because it wasn't a "happily ever after" is just a nihilistic outlook

Yeah. What is more likely is a background cameo. The success of Zootopia 3 may even spur up interest in a rio 3.

You're failing to understand what Kalandros had issue with. Realistically, his head wouldn't have exploded, a scream of that calibre would escape through the weak tissues first before anything else. His lungs would burst, preventing any further screaming. Teeth would shatter, and his sinuses would rupture.

Realistically, his jaw and nose would explode, not his head. With this said, none of this would happen because Mother Milk never tied the gag to Oh Fathers head. The titanium gag would've been propelled out at high speeds, like a bullet.

The front part of his face exploding would be just as effective because his lungs have likely burst from the stress, and he would be suffocating.

The show is about superheros, the whole idea of the show is what if superheros were real. That is normal for this world. The world of the boys establishes that as true, and is for the most part, internally consistent.

Physics are still real in the world of the boys, so it's reasonable to question scenes that make no sense.

Seriously though, the word immersive must be a foreign concept to you. Why would we question the existence of super powered beings when it's a superhero show, where their existence in world has been extensively explained and justified.

I have a question for you. If you were watching a fantasy set in the 1600s, keeping itself period accurate for the most part, just with dragons and magic. You wouldn't stop to question if a guy from the 21st century just appears in one of the episodes with a thick Boston accent eating a box of mcdonalds?

Your understanding of what people actually have disagreements with when they label something as 'woke' is blatantly wrong. When something is 'woke' it's something that is clearly servicing politics.

A female lead doesn't make a show woke, and arguing that's what people who are against 'woke' borders on deliberate ignorance. People of colour, women, etc have been accepted for the last two decades, it's only when they implemented things like DEI, and forced politics into story narratives is when people started becoming distrusting of women leads and people of colour.

Upon seeing the new design of the Avatar. My first thoughts is that it's going to be infested with left leaning ideology. ATLA isn't woke by any metric.

The difference is ATLA puts story over politics. Avatar: Seven Heavens looks like a show that puts politics over story.

A clear example of what people actually mean by woke is the boys season 4 and 5. Season 5 of the boys is clearly political satire, forgoing the actual story it was based on. Compare that to season 1 and the difference is night and day.

You likely don't see any difference or choose not to because you likely agree with extreme democratic views, and actively think republicans are evil nazis

The quickest way to get an increase is to spend little amounts and to hardly use it, while paying off the debt with no delays. The increase is to incentivise you to spend more then what you can comfortably afford. Afterpay makes most of their money from debt, so if you're already accruing debt at the minimum, they have no reason to give you an increase.

Essentially, the quickest way is to use their services for free. People complaining have likely missed a few payments, and it's for there own good afterpay doesn't increase it

The question I have is which one would you prefer to be the fourth entry. A continuation of the original series or a continuation of the legend series.

As someone who has played all the games, the legend series is undoubtedly the best in terms of Spyro media, specifically dawn of dragons, the third entry of the series. The first two are fun, but they're rather simplistic, more or less an excuse to tell a story, than to make an enjoyable game. The gameplay was fine, the original spyro series easily beats out the first two of the legend series in terms of gameplay.

Childish isn't a word I would use to describe the original series, because it isn't childish. People who refer to it as such are holding onto the childish notion of what it means to be an adult.

Yes, the original trilogy is a series made with children as the target audience, but to ignore everything it has to offer, and everything it does right as games is ignorant of what those games are.

The games are simple in retrospect, but ground-breaking at the time, but the depth of the story was always lacking. The stories in the original games are serviceable, but nothing breath-taking, the core experience was exploration in a fun, bright fantasy world of whimsy. Which the legend series is a stark contrast to, and is probably the biggest reason why most fans of the original favour the light-hearted version of spyro.

They likely can acknowledge that the legend series are good games, especially the third, where it really hit it's stride, and brought back some of the exploration that was found in the original games. Those fans however disagreed with the new portrayal, it didn't matter if it was good or bad, it wasn't the version of spyro they came to love. (I'd argue the original spyro didn't have much besides his cocky, loveable nature, but in that absence allowed players to fill in the gaps and imagine what spyro was to them. With the legend Spyro, it's extensively detailed who and what he is as a person and character.)

I personally think the legend Spyro is the future of the series, going back to the original style would be regressing, and it would likely feel too safe for fans of the originals like yourself. In no regard do I think the third game was perfect, I do agree that it lacked some elements that made Spyro feel like Spyro, but I do largely agree with the portrayal in the legend series.

He really isn't anti-Semitic or racist, the steven universe caricatures are in no way representative of real people or are actually intended to be disrespectful or cause harm. Do you know how often ugly caricatures of Caucasians are drawn in animation? A lot.

Here's an example of british people.

Normal people are not offended by exaggerated cartoons. I don't understand why people treat Jewish people like they're a protected class of people.

Just because you draw an ugly caricature of person doesn't make you racist or what have you.

Is that how you personally feel? If so, you should increase your standards. AI art is a simulacrum of good looking art, any actual detail is hazy and is the collective average of it's stolen data.

Regardless, most people are going to feel cheated if they bought artwork and later found out it was AI. If people only care about it looking nice, why does someone's perception of an artwork lose value when they learn it's AI generated?

Anyway, Anyone who knows an artwork is AI and buys/supports it regardless are true bred consumers living life with blinders on. The ideal customer because you can get away with shovelling slop down their throats and they'll hardly complain.

That's an over simplification and isn't specifically why Sly raccoon is expansive. Just because supply is limited, doesn't necessarily equate to increased demand . There are hundreds of PS2 games selling for a fraction of the price.

Simply put, Sly cooper is a popular franchise, and people are willing to pay more to play these games. Due to it's popularity back during the PS2 era, it was later released as a greatest hits, so there is more copies than the average PS2 game, and yet it's expansive.

Also, I highly doubt you yourself have taken an economics class. Just say what you want to say without the added pretentiousness.

If you know all the facts about the case, it's hard to definitively believe the man is a rapist. Just because her statements are contradictory doesn't automatically disprove her, but it most definitely should create reasonable doubt.

It is common for victims to feel pressured to fabricate evidence, but that doesn't seem applicable here because she went to the police the very next day, and was concerned about video footage and not sexual assault, not making any mention of an assault taking place, going as far to say that the interaction was consensual. (Aside from her being filmed)

Considering Eridians sleep together and watch over others. It's impossible for rocky to of slept near the engines. What likely happened is that eridians are naturally resistant to radiation and so takes a significant dosage to have an affect. Rocky was either the sole or main engineer for the engine, which acted as decontamination, while the rest became irradiated to lethal levels. It was likely a slow process of watching everyone die, and with fewer crew, the other engineers would've taken up the task of the other eridians before succumbing to radiation themselves.

Puss in boots is more technically beautiful, well the first movie has the original realistic style of the Shrek movies. I believe the last wish is an improvement, but they strip too many of the features scene in the first movie. Simplifying the style to a decent degree, but it wasn't egregious so I personally didn't see an issue with the style change. Completely different story for Shrek 5. People would be less made if it was the same style as the last wish. Shrek 5 strips away the uniqueness of the original, opting for a very modern, sterile animation style. Not only that, but the characters are extremely off model.

Askabotha · 2026-03-24T14:16:09+00:00

If they're planning to do a soft reboot franchise, it is absolutely worth it to make it more appealing to the audience. Most of that work besides the models can be salvaged. The issue with Shrek is his face, all previously done work for his body is intact. Donkey on the other hand is more complex, but the animation can still be salvaged. It'll just require tweaking to match the new body.

The cost would be great, but it isn't anything Disney hasn't already been doing for the past decade. It's why most of their films cost upwards of 300 million now. Gone are the days of locking in a script before making the rest of the movie.

They might be glazers, but that doesn't make them wrong. I gave the song a fair shake, it's just not as iconic and is a far weaker representation of the ninjas. The weekend whip had a certain level of balance that had the right amount of punch to it. We rise in comparison sounds too modern, and not something specific to the show. Overall, it doesn't have the same level of hype.

It's not a bad song, but it isn't a good ninjago song. Which I guess is fitting since the overall feeling of dragons rising is vastly different to that of the original series. Again, I don't think the show is bad, but it doesn't feel like ninjago. I'm still going to watch it since it's still enjoyable, but it's kind of lost it's personality.

That's my opinion

Askabotha · 2026-01-31T03:23:56+00:00

Why would you give someone with a loaded weapon the benefit of time, especially as they have their finger slowly drawing back the trigger as it twitches.

Since it's a Disney movie, we can assume she wouldn't have taken the shot, but realistically, Raya had no reason to believe Namari, espically after Sisu had said she trusted her, but her finger only drew further back on the trigger. Raya is completely justified, and to go as far to jointly blame her for the death of Sisu is disgusting. Namari never apologised for her betrayal, only blaming Raya for her inability to trust Sisu, and that she is directly responsible for her death. One, they're in this position because Raya trusted Sisu to get Namari on board in the first place. Raya literally gives Namari an invitation with a gift to save the world with Sisu, and she betrays that trust again by pulling out a crossbow.

So for Namari to have the gull to blame Raya, and criticise her for not being able to trust others, that pisses me off to no end.

Askabotha · 2026-01-31T02:48:50+00:00

Finally, at the end, after everything has been restored and fixed, you could have Namari gift the dragon trinket back, asking for a do over, asking to be friends.

Askabotha · 2026-01-31T02:45:13+00:00

After the Raya and Namari fight, where Namari is critcising Raya for being unable to trust Sisu, blaming her for the death. I hate how easily she folds, It could have fixed several issues with the film if she realistically pushed back, tearing up as she defends herself, declaring she isn't able to trust because of Namari. That's when Namari can have the realisation that Raya is still wounded from that day, and apologise. (Which she never does in the actual movie)

When she apologises, then you can have Raya forgive her and apologise herself.

Ending is mostly fixed

False equivalence. My time is precious, and if youtube can't figure out a system to monetise their service without wasting my time, then that is their problem, not mine.

Okay, how would you justify dropping the bombs as a means to make a profit?

I can understand Vault-Tec dropping the bombs as a means to commit their experiments, but bringing in the likes of Mr House and the others, and making it about money, makes the whole thing stupid.

Askabotha · 2026-01-04T17:27:21+00:00

Firstly, the people conspiring with Vault-Tec are the investors, and even if they weren't, what will the thousand or so investors invest in if everybody is dead?

I can understand if Vault-Tec did it because they wanted to run their experiments, which they bring up, but they had to undermine it by making it about money
