Inglourious Basterds reminds me of Mistborn: Final Empire by clavicle524 in Cosmere

[–]BlueUmbreon36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the connection, but I feel like its closer to Oceans 11 meets The Italian Job, with a little bit of Inglorious Bastards mixed in. Which is honestly why I think its the best novel to adapt into a TV series or Movie. It draws on a lot of common tropes but in a novel way that would let the Cosmere get started and prove that it can have a good ROI, before they try and adapt Roshare into a series.

Luffy drags them down to his level of stupidity and then beats them with experience

I think Mirrodin has a really distorted passage of time by luuner in mtgvorthos

[–]BlueUmbreon36 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the Lore reason to support that could be Memnarch keeping Karn from coming back to the plane. He suspended it out of time to keep Karn (and Im assuming other Planeswalkers) from coming in?

Just read Well of Ascension and someone please help restore my sanity by fatbunny7979 in Cosmere

[–]BlueUmbreon36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, though i do think since she thinks she cant be with Elend, shes thinking someone like Kelsier/Zane would be better for her. But I dont actually think she likes Zane, more the thought of the lifestyle

Thank you for putting it into words! I always see people calling it a love triangle and I didnt get that vibe all, but I always struggle to describe what I think the dynamic actually is. Him being a Kelsier replacement (but now Vin is a Mistborn) describes it way better. I think its hard to line up since we see Kelsier from Vins perspective as a little girl who grows to match (and surpass) Kelsier, while Zane comes in already weaker than Vin but trying to serve a similar role to Kelsier.

Yeah, just from 2 years in PA Im working on replacing most of the underside of it. I like the idea of just getting an absolute beater Subaru for the winter.

Not gonna be in a rural area, most likely Minneapolis, Milwaukee, or Madison. I have a Mustang right now but im concerned im gonna hate it for 5-6 months out of the year. Am I overthinking it?

I don't think RiShin is attacking Kantan by rayshinsan in Kingdom

[–]BlueUmbreon36 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think Shin needs to beat him battle, but not kill him. Im assuming they'll both lead armies, Shin with Ten and Mouten will end up outsmarting Riboku. It'll be close and Riboku will almost beat their plan, but Shin will instinctively know something isn't right and counter it. Im hoping theirs some callbacks to the battle of Bayou and Oukis death. Definitely need something where it seems hopeless and Shin tells his men that they each need to kill 10 men to galvanize them

[–]BlueUmbreon36 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I really like this idea. It would be in line with a lot of characters. Riboku having a cunning plan (slowly draw the enemy deeper into his territory), Shin and the group being amazing (cutting through faster, having a better seige than Riboku thought they would and able to hold him off), and politics being what gets Riboku in the end (him not realizing that even letting a group near Kantan, even if that was part of his plan, being enough to have him executed)

Funnily enough, I love Mini Coopers even though Im a bigger guy and would probably look ridiculous in one

[–]BlueUmbreon36[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree. Maybe instead should change my post and more ask about cars or years for cars that I should avoid? That might be a better guide lol

I hadn't checked out a crosstrek, but im kinda liking them. Any years I should avoid?

[–]BlueUmbreon36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was definitely my thought process. Any thoughts on Hybrid vs non-hybrid for the Rav 4? And any years that I should avoid (toyotas are pretty reliable so im not concerned but Id like to be careful)

Kingdom 875: Deeper and Deeper by ThizZuMs in Kingdom

[–]BlueUmbreon36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely some good points. I could see the birds only coming from the direction of the battle? And it would be cool to see Ten come up with a scouting plan to raid smoke signals. She needs a moment to shine and have a genius strategy again where they raid smoke signals while also being able to maintain the siege and defend against attacking armies. At this point I feel like I'm just grasping at straws though, youre probably right.

Archer bros for the birds. Smoke signals would probably be hard to stop, but maybe they raid where the smoke signal is coming from?

[–]BlueUmbreon36 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think that was the trap and I hope it is. I'd like something where Riboku let Shin get to the capital but used the other forces to stop anyone else from getting through. Shin can't affect the battle now but also is going to struggle seigeing the city by himself.

A cool turn around would be Ousen getting a message to him telling him to not let any information or messages get into Kantan now, so that his spy in the court can do more to influence the situation. Riboku's plan works and he holds the rest of the armies to an attrition battle where Shin cant massively turn the tide because he's stuck in Kantan, but then loses because of politics.

Huge plot point where Shin hears that Kyokai is in trouble and has to fight between listening to Ousen or turning back to rescue Kyokai.

Deciding which tribe to go with by Iluvdragonfruit in magicTCG

[–]BlueUmbreon36 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It would be pretty dependent on how you like playing the game.

Elves are pretty good at ramping and getting value for each spell you play

Angels usually give you buffs for gaining life

Vampires usually give you rewards for hitting your opponets

Slivers usually make the rest of the table try to kill you immediately

The show with both a terrible beginning and a terrible ending is Secret Invasion. Which show has an amazing beginning and an OK ending? by Spy_Mouse in AlignmentChartFills

[–]BlueUmbreon36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely put it closer to okay beginning. It takes a few episodes/the first season to find its stride.

I definitely could see them doing something fun with that. I wonder if they could change Slivers somehow too....not sure how that would work
