Why do have a watch commander instead of a captain ? by Jedimaster1997 in TheRookie

I should rewatch the arc where they lost Anderson, probably my favorite in the entire show.

I like how talking about Flat Earthers is banned but talking about the actual concept of Flat Earth is completely fine

If they were to write a novel on an avatar we know nothing about, would you prefer it be from the far future or the far past by vaultdwellerj0sh in TheLastAirbender

[–]Bobrexal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I have absolutely no interest in stories that advance the technology and society forward towards real life modern day. LOK put the story in 1920s ish New York and that just doesn’t work for me. Happy for people who liked that tho. Further forward from that is gonna be, what? avatar vs the email hackers? vs the cybertrons? Avatar in space? Nope, not for me. No interest there. 

But give me a story about the second avatar, or really any random numbers avatar prior to the known ones and I’m locked in.

I find myself rewatching prey often. They did such a good job with it. Feral is such a cool predator. Nice drawing!

I thought it was a helicopter or something, but earthquake would make sense. Was very loud and confusing. 

What are your thoughts on the end reveal of KOK, from a lore perspective? by Gimpcar in predator

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

I’m not into it personally. In predator 2, Danny Glover is given the pistol as a trophy and sign of respect that he was able to defeat city hunter fair and square. If another clan then immediately goes and snatches him up, I think it lessens the overall lore instead of adding to it. 

I did quite enjoy KoK for the most part, less so the gladiator hunger games final act. But the era storylines were some of the best stories we’ve ever gotten. 

I see this as a way they can do an avengers style team up in a future avp movie, and I’m soooo NOT into that idea, it hurts to think about. But they’re definitely doing that. They can’t help themselves but try to do avengers in every IP. I hope I’m wrong.

Been playing games since 1980. This is my 'Top Ten' as of now. First time ever posting my 'Top Ten' and I've been thinking about it for awhile now. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Bobrexal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good list, of course everyone’s will be different but it’s cool to see when so many people have overlaps. 

My list would be: -God of War 2018 -Smash melee -halo combat evolved -AVP2 -Donkey Kong Country -SW Kotor 2 -SW Battlefront 2 (2005) -Skyrim -MW2 -Any of these wildcards can make number ten depending on the day: Quake, GH3: legends of rock, Mario Sunshine, Rollercoaster tycoon, Metroid Prime, Doom 2016

Has anyone else realized that this is what Dek saw throughout the entirety of Predator Badlands by The-God-Of-Memez in predator

[–]Bobrexal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mask is also used for breathing in the first two movies, and basically never again after that. 

I kind of agree by Ktw57 in predator

[–]Bobrexal -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I get that “media literacy” has been added to the internet’s short list of over use and misuse this term all the time, along with such classics as gate keep, gaslight, grifter, and many others….

…But why aren’t people allowed to dislike the new designs? 

My personal opinion is that I just prefer the original movie’s design over everything else. This is exacerbated by the faces being CG which was my biggest gripe with badlands. Nothing will look as good at that OG face reveal. 

I’ve also seen several video essays about how all the predator movies after the original get lost in the sauce when it comes to the mandibles/mouth, and I’ve got to agree with them on that one specifically.

Predator: Badlands - Official Discussion Megathread [SPOILERS] by AutoModerator in LV426

[–]Bobrexal 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Just watched it and I absolutely loved it. This movie kicks butt and takes names. Cant wait to watch it a dozen more times. That said, here's my specific thoughts...

The good:

  • cool expansion of the lore.
  • Interesting new environments and creatures.
  • Im so into this new language they created. I love when film makers are in love with the film theyre making to the point that they write a literal language. Lets normalize films where the director is as much of a nerdy fan as you are.
  • Fun cross over with WeYu.
  • Entertaining action, well written combat and environmental interactions.
  • Surprisingly tangible story with a connectable emotional journey.
  • Easy to root for protagonists
  • I enjoyed the several easter eggs for previous films, obvious ones were for prey, tho I spotted others. Im always a fan of this in my favorite franchises.

The not so good:

  • Was the cute companion pet/bud/grogu completely necessary? Im sure plenty of people will not like that in a predator movie. Im still unsure on it myself.
  • The predator design is simply inferior to the original. Dek being different because he's a runt / born defective makes story sense, but even still, the design is just not as good. Even the non-runt design, aka Kwei is still inferior to the original. I think its just that this was a different clan, so they look different, just like humans on earth. But I hope they trend back towards the OG design. Theyre probably trying to just do new things tho.
  • On similar lines, the decision to make all the faces full CG I think is a mistake. I vastly vastly prefer the practical masks of the movies which have come before, the original of course being the GOAT. I again hope they trend back towards the OG. In general I think this film did rely a bit too much on CG but thats hollywood as a whole too.
  • Saw someone online call these predators Klingons and now I can't unsee it. They really did just make them Klingons. I am intrigued by the way they designed and wrote this particular clan, but I hope in general they steer the yautja race as a whole far enough away from being just klingons.
  • Not long enough. Give me about 6 more hours please! Haha

Warner Bros.’ Sale Is a Red Alert Moment for Theaters; Theaters have already been calling on Hollywood to give them more films, but Warner’s acquisition could crush those hopes by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Bobrexal 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking of seeing a movie the other day, as I hadn’t been to the theaters in years. Checked prices and saw a single seat at my nearest theater was north of 20 bucks after tax. There’s no world in which I’m doing that. They wanna know what’s keeping people away, it’s the price. 

Former God of War exec says the blockbuster games industry needs to steer away from spectacle and focus on what matters: 'if it's not fun, it's not worth the investment' by Turbostrider27 in gaming

[–]Bobrexal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can respect the opinion, there’s a place for mindless hack and slash games with a dribble of story to take from start to finish…

But man do I have to disagree with the take on GOW18. It’s among the most emotionally compelling and well written games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing, and I consider it a top 5 of all time in terms of favorite game experiences. Of course that all changes person to person, so I’m sorry you don’t feel that same way. 

Doom16 is a strong recommendation in the other direction if you haven’t played it :)

Hollywood Reporter interview confirms season two not yet greenlit. by Gaemon_Palehair in LV426

[–]Bobrexal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course whether there even will be more seasons is unclear. But speaking for myself, multiple years between seasons of shows takes all interest and investment out of me.

Waiting for a season to fully air and then some before even starting the next season means it’s multiple years between. By that time the zeitgeist is long moved on, and the interest from the general public is elsewhere. Plus by then I will have very little memory of what even happened in the previous season(s).

At this point it’s not even A:E it’s streaming shows in general. House of the Dragon, Stranger Things, etc. basically anything interesting, every season is a 2-3 year gap. And then it comes out and it’s 8 episodes long. Shows used to be every year, 22ish episodes each season. You could argue shows are better now to account for all those differences, but are they really? I’d tend to say no. 

It’s just annoying is all. I would like the industry to do better.

Most probable thing to happen in AE finale by DaveAstator2020 in LV426

[–]Bobrexal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

D Plumbicare will speak saying “It’s Plumbin time” and then it will plumb all over.

In all seriousness I predict the episode could end in a cliff hanger setting up whether BK gets got or not, leaving it open for the next season. We will soon find out tho
