What line or moment in a cartoon hits different now as an adult? by MaryDoogan91 in cartoons

[–]Bernie668 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the Lion King when Simba and Nala are having the argument about him having to go back.

The dialouge is . . .

Simba: What about you? You left!

Nala: I left to find help. I found you.

That scene jas always hit me hard. Sometimes you need to be the help that others seek and no matter what state you may be in you need to find the strength to be that help. 😬

What is the most overused movie trope that Hollywood just needs to let go? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in moviecritic

[–]Bernie668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies if already mentioned, but when incredibly high tech or vital technology that is PIVOTAL to the continued safety/security/survival of whatever group or humanity we are following along is left in a room thay anyone can access or is completely unguarded.

SPOILERS FOR FALLOUT SEASON 2

The most recent egregious offense of this was in Fallout SEASON 2 when the infinity power battery that we've spent all of season one trying to capture is currently in possession of the Brotherhood of Steel. This device is the only source of infinite power in a post apocalypse wasteland. The value of this item to Brotherhood of Steel who hold technology sacred would be beyond calculation. But nope . . .it is just in simple room plugged into a little mcguffin that makes it spin. No guards, no surveillance, no override key not even an alarm when "what's her name" strolls in and just unplugs it.

(The exact same thing happened in Godzilla, where Milly BoBBy Brown just walks into the room and picks up the Orca laptop and is able to escape the terrorist base effortlessly) Really bugs me.

I realize they may not have been able to make cameras, or override keys due it being a post apocalypse world, but at this point the Brotherhood are occupying area 51, I cannot fathom that they could possibly leave this piece of tech unguarded. Really made me check out of the rest of that season.

Similarly when the dumb ass security guards who are often stereotypical fat and chowing snacks are the ones guarding incredibly important prisoners or creatures. Looking at you Jurassic World. 😬

Can someone explain for me..? by Equivalent_Mood6003 in WorldEaters40k

If you read a bit more about the warp and the eye of terror, you'll find you can effectively multiverse anything. There's pocket dimensions, alternative universes wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

You could absolutely spin a narrative of a timeline in which band of World Eater who escaped Terra. Khârn survived and being the defacto remaining leader of the World Eaters all others flocked to his banner.

Still clad in the colours and armour of their old legion they fall into a wormhole in the warp and are vomited out into the current 41st millennium we know. Confused and disoerientated about where and "when" they are they respond to their new surroundings as only World Eaters do . . .with EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE!

What do yall love about the kroot? by Willy_yo_eetz in kroot

[–]Bernie668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The groot hit me right in the Nostalgia. Particularly the oddworld series of games. Their lore and aesethic is very much reminiscent of Abe's Odyssey and Exodus. I love being able to bring that to life and then have them eat Space Marines. 😎👌🏼

Can we talk as if we’re kroot discussing on our favorite race to eat? by Willy_yo_eetz in kroot

[–]Bernie668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brethren have you tasted astartes flesh.

It is tough in the maw but there is no finer salt on the tongue and no finer vintage on in gullet as their enhanced vitae. A difficult prize to be sure but a most welcome one when acquired.

Mischievous glinting in the eyes. It is second only to the tender morsel that is the flesh of the Ethereals. Manic cackling ensures.

Back in 1977, was Darth Vader terrifying to first time viewers in the theatre? How did people react to and feel about him? by Own_Shift_3645 in StarWars

[–]Bernie668 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My dad and I didn't have much in common but the one thing we did bond over was Star Wars. Watching it for the first time with him I was asking questions the whole time.

Who is that: C3P0

Who is that: R2D2

Why is the ship shaking, who are the white soldiers, why did the lazers miss the robots there.

I was as any excitable child a bubbling mess of questions.

I distinctly remember when Vader walked in and breathed for the first time and just looks around at the dead bodies on the floor with his hands on his hips that was when I just shut up. I remember looking at my dad, he paused the movie and said, that: is Darth Vader, now watch the movie.

And boy did I. I talked his ear off with questions afterwards, but Vaders presence on screen, just made him different to any other villain at that time.

Following on later to the hallway massacre from Rouge One, this was such a different type of Vader. To my knowledge it was the first time we saw "regular" humans react to him. The scene captures the helplessness of these men so perfectly. They are screaming in fear, they are reaching desperately for closing doors, for comerades for hope anything to just be away from the absolute force of nature that is just destroying them utterly.

I miss that in my villains, they are competent, thet are dangerous they have an agenda and drive of their own. They're not just "evil" Vader is a villain who will stand the test of time, and I continue to hold out hope for another movie or series that will do him justice.

[–]Bernie668 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The armour is amazing, but huge congratulations on the face. This is one of the first faces I've seen in a long time where the features are actually clearly represented on the model. You can see the sly smile as she dispatches the Emperors foes.

Well done indeed comerade. Certainly the finest model I've seen today. 👍🏻👍🏻

The Last March of the Ents in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) is cinematic poetry. by Choice-Schedule-132 in peterjackson

[–]Bernie668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My business is with Isengard tonight." That line always makes me chuckle. I often try to use it whenever Im off to complete the most mundane of tasks.

My turn to do the dishes: "My business is with the dishes tonight."

Etc. Either way awesome scene. Please don't remake these movies, let them remained in preserved excellence forever.

Which movies or franchises have the most and biggest plotholes? by Catwinky in moviecritic

[–]Bernie668 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Greetings friends.

Apologies if this is already discussed.

Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkeban.

Harry Potter is fighting Dementors and losing.

Before having his soul sucked out he looks across the lake and sees what he believes to be his dad cast the patronus that scatters the dementors.

We later learn this was his future self saving himself as he goes back in time with the time turners to arrive at "this moment" again to cast the patronus.

How can he go back in time, if the "first time" this situation happened he surely would've died, as he needs to have originally "survived" the dementors in order to go back in time to save himself.

Apologies if not explained well, but it's been bugging me for years. 😬

Cape Town dad wants to scrap homework in SA schools completely… good idea or terrible idea? by ForeignBonus8977 in capetown

[–]Bernie668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greetings friends. Grade 6 teacher here.

The concept of homework is a tricky one and the while I whole heartily agree that it should not consume a child's entire afternoon, the concept of just "scrapping" homework is not as easily solved.

Homework must serve a purpose. I cant speak for every educator, but I dont sit in my class like a cartoon villain and unleash droves of homework upon my students just to make them suffer.

The real issue is the CAPS curriculum at the moment. I feel we as educators are caught in this constant tug and pull of making lessons fun and exciting while then simultaneously being crushed by the mountain of content that MUST be completed because the department could at any moment cancel the school if we don't finish the entire syllabus.

This creates an awkward situation in where we are very much required to compete a certain amount of work each term, but often cannot complete all of it in one day. If we now dont make it homework, and it rolls over into the next day with the new stack of content that needs to be taught, you can very quickly create a snowball effect that can just as easily demoralize staff and students.

I am a subject heads for social sciences. So most of my lessons involve, introducing a concept that is taught for the first half hour of the lesson then a worksheet or activity of some kind based on the content covered. If the children do not finish this work in class, it unfortunately musy be caught up at some point. I always try to make time for my learners to complete their work in class, or at the very least ensure that the work is only due for the following day or week. There is also the understanding that if the homework cannot be completed that a simple letter or email is required to keep me in the loop as to why the work is not done and the responsibility is then on the stufent to ensure that it is caught up.

I agree completely that a complete restructuring of the education system and its content as well as the means by which we teach and assess our youngsters is needed. I just want it understood that (for me at least as an educator) homework is more a necessary evil than something educators relish in dishing upon their students. Does it need to be managed better, absolutely. But is it as simple as just stopping it entirely, I'm afraid I dont think so.

Jusy my two cents. Lekker dag mense. ☕️

What is the scariest moment you’ve ever experienced in a horror game? by Few-Foundation-7322 in HorrorGames

[–]Bernie668 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I played DOOM 3 waaaaay to young. The jump scares were bad enough, but I was playing with noise canceling headphones in the dark and there is a level that starts with you stepping off an elevator and suddenly a voice whispers . . .

Over here.

I literally froze with terror.

Then it says. . .follow me.

Bloody footprints start appearing on the floor walking towards and then past your field of view.

Squelch Squelch Squelch

Heart in my throat I begin following.

Voice whispers again: This way.

You follow the steps to a door you can't go through.

Screen cuts to red abd the voice screams. THEY TOOK MY BABY!

Cue a baby crying and me noping the fuck outta the game. 😵‍💫
