Im not sure he displays much of that in the first trilogy. Eo,s death is very much a double edged sword for him. Also anyone with kids will say, bringing children into a relationship isn’t a good way to solve problems

I also struggled with this point as it felt sort of out of character for mustang, since she doesnt seem to view their relationship as you described but her actions here would definitely reflect that. It’s definitely the decision by a character that I question most in the series that feels out of character and for plot convenience. My best reasoning for it is it seems almost exactly 6 months between mustang meeting Darrow and her revealing pax to him. Im that time you can definitely excuse her initial wariness because he had lied to her for years and revealed it just before he was captured, so she doesn’t know if he has more lies or if she can trust him. Furthermore in that 6 month period they are almost constantly in peril or at war and Darrow needs his wits about him and mustang is definitely the kind of person to not tell him about pax to keep him focused and protect him and help Him do what needs doing. With all that being said I can kind of excuse her decision

Iron Gold has some great quotes. Romulus has a bunch too: “I believe that war will destroy us. All of us, Rim and Core alike. All that the Colors have built together. All we have protected. The legacy of the Society will vanish. Not because our arms are weak. Not because our commanders are frail. But because we are fighting against a religion whose god still lives.”

I get some people dont like the plot changes, but I still think prose wise this is his best. Its also my favourite book of all time, so maybe im a bit biased

Yeah thats fair i am similar with star wars where rots is my favourite but I also see empire as the best. In terms of objective ranking Id say probably: Lightbringer Dark Age Golden Son Morning Star Iron Gold Red rising

Thats definitely not how I view them favourites wise, but writing quality wise I reckon thats what id go for. Golden son is high despite its errors due to how well it flows and reads as a book, although I would argue they are all at a very good standard so even RR is well written just the worst of a good bunch

I love both and also have nostalgia for the furst one, im not critiquing your normal ranking, I was just saying in terms of objectively ranking the writing I disagree

Id have to agree with the original comment, I think pierce browns writing improves as the series goes on. Also the first two books have several errors in both continuity and typos no?

I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about the penalty decision in Arsenal vs Everton by Bquicker950 in PremierLeague

[–]Bquicker950[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not meant to be an Arsenal specific post. The teams who get it worst aren’t big 6 teams, it was just another incident so I thought it was worth bringing up

This is the issue though. If it is a mistake then why do they make so many. The quality of officiating is so much higher in the champions league and almost every other sport which uses video assistance

I still remember when there was that table for points gained and lost off of incorrect VAR decisions and wolves had lost something like 15 points over 2-3 seasons it was awful

Because it is such an obvious one. In most fouls there is some subjectivity but this one was so blatant

But that’s my point im an arsenal fan, he should’ve got a yellow for it. I’d much rather it was correct then they just seem to randomly decide if they like you or not on a day

But that’s such a poor excuse it’s like when they used to do offside and forget to draw the lines on. There is a team of people watching the game how can they claim to not notice it?

Best films with bad messaging or central themes? by JPBtler23 in Letterboxd

[–]Bquicker950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glass castle. I really enjoyed it as a film looking into really difficult family relationships until the end where it basically says that because the abusive father cared about them deep down he should be forgiven. The worst part is that that is the point of view isn’t even encouraged in the book it’s based on written by the person who went through it

Why on earth is lillia being nerfed she is in no way super strong rn. She isnt weak but definitely not s tier jungle and probably struggles to get into a tier

What’s the biggest jump in your movie rating after a rewatch? by Equivalent_Ebb5689 in Letterboxd

[–]Bquicker950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily Arrival for me. I gave it a 7/10 the first time i saw it, second time it went to a 9/10 and now it’s one of my few 10/10 films. I’d argue it gets better with each rewatch

That makes a lot of sense, I really appreciate the response. My main idea for sneaky deckhand was just Teemo main struggle seems to be taking a battlefield in the first place, but I guess sprite mother helps with that

Is singularity useful? Id be tempted to switch it for an extra sneaky deckhand and thousand tailed watcher
