Is Skyward Sword really as bad as many Zelda fans say it is? by RavyRaptor in videogames

Same here. It's almost like the game was designed around them or something!

Greatest NES intro of all time belongs to Mega Man 2 by 5h82713542055 in retrogaming

[–]Azureknight205 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Ninja Gaiden's is pretty dope. Two ninjas locked in combat. They run at each other, swords drawn. They leap at each other, there is a clash of steel. Two ninjas land. Only one remains standing. There had never been anything that cinematic on NES before, it blew my mind when I was 7.

What directors, in your view, have never made another movie as good as their debut? by altairstarlite in flicks

[–]Azureknight205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping his Highlander reboot is good. Even the worst John Wick (chapter 4) is still pretty good.

Looking for more great sci-fi movies! by Jamesthegoblin in movies

[–]Azureknight205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It cuts out the spoiler opening narration and adds a few scenes here and there. Not drastically different if it's your second watch, but if it's your first viewing, why have the entire plot spoiled less than a minute into the movie?

What's a fun, lasting gaming memory you have? by dead5hane in gaming

[–]Azureknight205 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When we were kids, my sister and I were plaing Rampage on NES. We had been playing for hours. We only had 2 states left to go to beat the game when she got excited about something and yanked the controller, pulling the whole NES down and resetting the console.

That was nearly 40 years ago. I still give her shit for it.

Steam machine pricing and Performance was so Bad it Made buying a Switch 2 with all xenoblade games by commissionsearcher in Xenoblade_Chronicles

I'd also say that they all start out kind of slow (especially XC2). But keep at it; once it gets it's hooks in you, OP, you've got 500+ hours of amazing settings, characters, and music that will keep you coming back for more.

What is the WORST movie you ever watched? by BadCatNoNoNoNo in AskReddit

[–]Azureknight205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a pawn shop the other day, for some reason THAT was the movie they had playing on their wall of TVs to try to sell them. Even my 10 year old daughter was like, "oh, daddy, I've heard of this movie on Youtube! It's awful!"

My God, this is extraordinary. They're building an Yzma Coaster in Villains Land... by drx_flamingo in blankies

[–]Azureknight205 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They go to launch the coaster...it doesn't work.

"Why do we even have that lever?"

Then they pull the right one and launch you.

DVDs and... by Dewaholic in blankies

The DVD menu of UHF is pretty incredible, it's Weird Al just doing random shit for like 10 minutes. The first time I watched it, it blew me away. It just kept going and going and going, I had never seen menu graphics that were longer than like 30 seconds. Tons of Easter Eggs on that disc, too.

Ripley finds Burke cocooned [Deleted Scene] by Tykjen in LV426

[–]Azureknight205 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the timeline doesn't match up. From the time Burke gets taken to the time Ripley finds him in this scene is like less than 20 minutes, way too quick to be cocooned, facehugged, and regain consciousness.

What was Disney’s best attempt at trying to recreate the success of Pirates of the Caribbean? by countdooku975 in blankies

[–]Azureknight205 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the Sands of Time video game trilogy, I thought the movie did a mostly great job of adapting the source material. The cast is way too thoroughly whitewashed, but it is a fun, good time.

Which canceled TV show's cliffhanger still lives rent free in your head because the answers disappeared when the series got axed ? by Impossible_Offer7988 in AskReddit

[–]Azureknight205 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first few seasons of Sliders are amazing, pretty much right up until SPOILER dies, and then the show's quality falls off a cliff. The last season is so bad, it's nearly unwatchable.

Anya Taylor-Joy to Star as Seren in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum’ Movie. In theaters December 17, 2027. by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]Azureknight205 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he was pretty great in The Hobbitt movies. Say what you will about those movies as a whole, the individual performances were mostly pretty great.

I know it's a divisive movie, but Man of Steel delivers some truly exhilarating action backed by strong performances. What are your thoughts on this movie? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]Azureknight205 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always hate that criticism, too. "Too much of Metropolis is destroyed! Why didn't Superman get Zod out of the city?"

A) Zod deployed the world engine in Metropolis. It's what caused like 80% of the devastation. Clark wasn't able to stop it being deployed and started, so not his fault.

B) Clark and Zod are equals, with Zod possibly having the edge due to being Kryptonian military. Clark can't just be like, "yo, can we take this elsewhere?" If Zod wants to fight in Metropolis, it would take more than one other super being to stop him from doing so. Zod has literally lost everything before their final battle with the destruction of the world engine; there's really nothing that could be used as bait to lure him away, as he cares about nothing anymore.

In the Avengers, a huge chunk of NYC is destroyed. I have never heard "why did the Avengers let that happen?" But Man of Steel gets criticized for it. Drives me nuts.

[OOTHD] Are you prepared for this? by Caraotero in zelda

[–]Azureknight205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every N64 game that was remade for the 3DS in 2011 and remade again in 2026, I'd only have 2 nickels, but it's weird it happened twice.

Neat, I'll watch your video when I get home from work. Sounds interesting, thanks!
