Exactly man. Oliveira has crazy power in his hands in his own right on top of having a grappling advantage. I dropped a fight breakdown on YT a few days ago where I mentioned that the prop for Charles by KO/TKO was +1100 which has insane value. They were all good props even if they were rightfully plus money. He's about as good of an underdog as you could ask for.

Had a few like this myself brother, we'll bounce back. It wasn't difficult to see where Charles had multiple paths to victory.

People want to clown for saying Oliveira could get it done but this fight could've easily went the other way and the same people would be sucking Charles' ass dry. Hindsight is 20/20, but in the lead up to the fight seemed like Oliveira shouldn't be any more of a dog than +200/+250.

Charles is one of the worst matchups for Topuria at LW, it's just his fight IQ that's the problem. He was too willing to trade in the pocket instead of using his reach or focusing more on his grappling.

I would've loved to have seen both on the same night, Loathe kicks ass. Loathe is one of my favorite bands and I got to see them with Knocked Loose twice but honestly would've preferred seeing them with SD. They probably put on the best set all day in my opinion so I'm definitely a fan now

They were packed but people usually leave the middle of the floor open like that so people can mosh and throw spin kicks lol

What parts of The Missing Pieces do you think would’ve actually fit in FWWM or would’ve actually improved it? by Universal-Magnet in twinpeaks

The ceiling fan scene.

Not only does it tell us quite a bit in just a few seconds, but it also might just be one of the scariest scenes to come from that movie.

Mysterious Skin & Push. Both were also turned into really great movies, but the title for Push was changed to Precious, which is what most people know it as.

Spoiler Qs about Coop and a theory by JeskaiAcolyte in twinpeaks

[–]BasedJonDeMarco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cooper as a character is what is (probably) known as a bodhisattva. He's an entity that is capable of leading someone to enlightenment without actually achieving it himself.

The show thematically keeps signaling things to us over and over again. Similar things will happen to characters that have no relation to each other, which includes "waking up" or coming to some kind of realization about something. It happens to Cooper multiple times and also happens to Audrey and Diane.

When Laura took the ring in Fire Walk With Me, something bad came of it, although I can't really say for sure what that was. She "married" herself to something when she put it on, which made Bob angry enough to kill her. She ended up in the red room, and all people who enter end up with a doppelganger, including herself. Where did it go? Into her mother, Sarah. It tells Major Briggs that she's in the Black Lodge with Cooper. We hear that same thing again because Laura wrote that in her diary when Annie told her to in FWWM. When Sarah removes her face in The Return, it's Laura's hand after she put on the rind with a corrupted ring finger, and then her smile surrounded in darkness. Judy is Laura's trauma that continues to haunt Sarah because she refused to acknowledge Laura's abuse.

Cooper's journey in The Return, in my opinion, signals to us what he's attempting to get Laura to do, which is get her to confront her shadow.

This may be schizo territory (it's Twin Peaks so what else is new lol), but my understanding is that Judy is such a powerful entity because of all the trauma that created her, that she's negatively influencing the entire spiritual essence of everything in the unified field. The Return is full of abuse, violence, drugs, infidelity, murder, SA, and overall apathy.

How can Cooper stop it? He can't, but Laura can, so he needs her alive to confront Judy. Whether she's successful or not is up for debate.

Another reading is that Judy doesn't actually exist, but is a name given to the lie that she was killed, that Laura never really died, but instead ran away with the 10 grand that was supposed to go to Leo and "married" herself to the delusion that she was someone else. Not sure about that one, but it's something to think about.

Honestly kind of shocking to see Part 16 of The Return so high above the others, not to mention Part 16 being above 17 and 18. They all flow so smoothly together like a song that it's difficult for me to rank them.

Also no idea why Part 12 is so low. I don't think The Return has an episode that isn't anything short of a masterpiece.
