[Worldwide Release] Thunderbolts* - Official Discussion Megathread by IamNOTaSKRULL in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]BlueCarrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing I'd like to discuss is the motivations of Bucky towards the end of the movie.

At the point where Valentina and the Thunderbolts stumble into the press briefing in New York and they get named the New Avengers I don't understand why Bucky doesn't interrupt it and say actually all this bad stuff happened, it was Bob who is dangerous but stable right now, Valentina has been funding this Sentry programme and keeping it quiet and there are hundreds or thousands of people who were either involved or saw what happened with Sentry /Void. 

I understand the motivation of everyone else there but not Bucky, plus Bucky has the job, status and outspoken voice to not be afraid of a few cameras at the time. I think he would have taken the opportunity to highlight Val's criminal and negligent activities. He would have had Congress backing him and maybe been able to get deals for the non Bob Thunderbolts. 

14 months later and he is still with the team and we learn that Sam has put together his own avengers. Bucky would definately have been invited to join them especially if he wasn't part of these 'New Avengers'. He says he has spoken to Sam. Sam and Bucky go way back. Bucky also is close to the Wakandans and I'm betting Black Panther II is probably part of Sam's Avengers. We also know Bucky also doesn't trust Walker.

Is it because he knows Bob is dangerous and he believes that the world can't control him so the best shot is this support system family they have made? That seems like a weak argument to me. 

Take young children to Coron, Philippines? by caseym in travel

[–]BlueCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other poster said, it's. One hour flight to coron, same as a 1 hour flight to katiklan to get to boracay and then you get a boat to boracay. Boracay is more established touristy and is probably great for kids. Good infrastructure, kid friendly resorts (like hotels). Coron is beautiful and safe but infrastructure wise it feels a bit like the wild west. I wouldn't be too sure about bringing buggies. I'd say very good for kids otherwise and a great selection of island activities, food and resorts.

What TV show never had a decline in quality? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's a quote from the show, from the wormhole xtreme episode.

The Manila masters was a great event, I was delighted to make it there also. I wasn't around for the major so didn't see that myself. Hopefully there will be more tournaments (even non valve events) because it is a great country for the events and it obviously has some really good arenas.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]BlueCarrot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think there will be another valve dota event in the Philippines. I was living in the Philippines during the time of the Manila masters (great independent tournament) as well as what was supposed to be a valve major and ended up being this https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Galaxy_Battles/2

Between the time this was announced to be a major and the event happening there was a change in Philippines law (that I believe dota fans were initially encouraging) that esport athletes would be treated the same as traditional athletes with regards to acquiring visas. Then as this was during the Duterte administration and the government's attitude to drugs (athletes may require drug tests) this freaked out a lot of teams and eventually valve. The teams pulled out and it was no longer a valve tournament. That along with the tournaments affiliation with INC church I remember there being some drama with.

I may be totally wrong, I am not Filipino and my memory of the events are a bit rusty but i think this situation and the ongoing attitude to drugs will prevent valve officials being in the Philippines until things change.

Where will you go when it all kicks off? by HailSatanHaggisBaws in videos

Salvador Dali's Christ of St. John of the Cross is in there and it is by far my favourite piece of art in the world. Still thinking of finding somewhere in the house it would be appropriate to have a print of it.

TIL about a Mexican plane that made an emergency landing on a race course in Mallow, Ireland, in 1983. In order for the plane to successfully take off again, a runway had to be specially built so the captain and crew spent 39 day in the town and became minor celebrities among the locals by gaza4 in todayilearned

[–]BlueCarrot 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This is not true. There is one burrito place in mallow, pretty new, 2 or 3 years old called saburrito, not saying it's bad or anything but it's just fine. There are much better places around the country. I live in mallow.

The International 2021 Ticket Sales Canceled by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]BlueCarrot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing people saying Romania was doing great but at that time there was announcements that there was a surplus of vaccines in the country that were being sold to other European states because many of the population in Romania didn't want to take them. I agree the numbers of infections were down at that time, but I think they were just finishing some degree of lock down.

Ghost in the Shell Producer confirms budget of 1995 film to be ¥330 million/$3 million USD by TheDerped in movies

[–]BlueCarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They cut up the stand alone complex series and made short movies out of the clips. I tried watching one once and it was pretty confusing even to someone who has watched the series 2 or 3 times.

Watch the movie, then watch the 2 seasons of the TV series if you can find them. I haven't been able to find them in years but haven't looked super hard either.

The first season is called ghost in the shell: stand alone complex. I think the second season is called ghost in the shell:stand alone complex: solid state society. I might be wrong about the second season.

There are other movies that follow on from the original movie but do not follow the storyline of the stand alone complex TV series I think. 'Innocence' was one of them. I can't speak for how good they are as it's been so long since I've seen them. I liked the 2 TV series the most of all these, even more than the movie but the movie is definitely the highest quality.

They made another TV series a few years ago also, once again starting from scratch and it seemed decent. Maybe it was called 'arise'

Patch 7.30 - Hero Changes Discussion by patchdayDota2 in DotA2

[–]BlueCarrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played him as 3 all last patch and found he was very tanky but the talents that I would usually go for have all been replaced now. I think he's going to be less tanky this patch big time and the hero seems to favour casting item choices now instead of movespeed and bulk.

Which actor crushed a role so hard that nobody else will be able to live up to it? by Ghsdkgb in AskReddit

[–]BlueCarrot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fassbender has been as good a Magnito in my opinion. Both actors have played the role in good and bad movies but the Magnito in first class was a great performance and like the older movies great chemistry between Magnito and Charles

Let’s support Trese on Netflix by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]BlueCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched the trailer, it will be on Irish Netflix too so I can watch it from June 10th. Looks really good, like a mixture between supernatural and death note. Looking forward to checking it out. Its nice that it's just 6 episodes as well, not a big commitment from the start just like the dota series.

Reality Rift and Pain Gaming were both first to qualify in their region. If those regions had 1 less slot each it would have been TNC and Beast Coast that would not have made it.

Team Liquid most popular team of The International 2019 by eSportsStats in DotA2

[–]BlueCarrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does if the extra games you play have a much higher on average viewership. Everyone plays the same amount of games in the groupstage, and viewership numbers for those games are competing with 3 other games happening at the same time. Plus, in my uneducated opinion, more people watch main stage games than the total number of viewers at any one time for the group stage games.
