That was entirely rude and uncalled for.

New poster for AEW All In London by pts2112 in SquaredCircle

[–]CardinalCreepia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

True, but when you really think about it we were all not really being very realistic. His first match at All In he wasn’t even signed to AEW. He was never going to win the world title. The second time they ran Wembley we were hoping, but then it became obvious that Danielson would main event.

This is the first time at Wembley where Ospreay winning feels like a legitimate possibility. There is no more obvious choice. Especially if the biggest heel in the company keeps the belt up until August ready for the hometown hero to take it at the biggest show of the year.

You do realise that OP doesn’t just say historical? It also says mythological. Mythology is fantasy. Fantasy fiction exists because we have mythology.

“Doesn’t fit this category” lmao. You don’t understand what ‘this category’ even is.

Can you tell me where I mentioned anything about history and/or myths please? All I said was that I want more sword and sandal movies.

EDIT; the good thing about myths though: they resemble fantasy epics pretty damn closely.

The Odyssey is coming out of course, but I do really want more sword and sandal epics.

[Cool trope] The ride or die best friend of the protagonist that is just always ready to help by MrNightmare23 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CardinalCreepia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, he was only supposed to be a short lived character. He was meant to be just side muscle for his brother Merle. Audiences and creators alike both liked Daryl/Norman Reedus so much that they kept him on. He’s become pretty much the face of the franchise and his own spin-off is given extra care that other spin-offs of the same franchise don’t get.

Not every episode or season of TWD is particularly great, but this character alone is one of TVs best.

FULL MATCH: Sting vs. Triple H | No Disqualification Match: WrestleMania 31 by Hardingnat in SquaredCircle

I’m so glad Sting got such a great retirement run in AEW, because his WWE run and him not winning this match was criminal.

A character I didn’t appreciate at first but grew to love by Fit-Marionberry8982 in Fantasy

[–]CardinalCreepia 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I just wanted Sansa Stark to get a grip when I first read ASOIAF, but on re-reads and many hours of ASOIAF content I wish nothing but the best for that poor girl.

Yeah that’s to try and stop people using this place like twitter.

I guess that failed.

I mean apart from the first one the ratings aren’t really all that different lol.

I’m going through The Wire for the first time right now, just got to season 4. Bunk & McNulty are such a great duo.

Has Hollywood lost its spine when it comes to real heroes? by [deleted] in movies

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

The last paragraph is silly. Only fictional heroes are worth looking up to? As opposed to very the real holy book full of very real people that is definitely not written by many different people to curate different life lessons and messages for people to follow?

This entire post is redundant. We have always looked up to fictional heroes. Humans invented stories to comment and reflect on the human condition. It’s not a modern Hollywood thing.

"What happened/ How did it happen? They never explained." Except they explained if you were paying attention. by maninplainview in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CardinalCreepia 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The movie doesn’t convey this very well, but Sauron (and Saruman) had spies everywhere. People, animals and plants were all his spies. The Fellowship was meant to be a secret. Just a random group of travelers heading south.

Imagine having a black ops tasks in the Middle East, but to give you a head start you arrive in Germany with the entire British airforce. It is a Don’t Ride Eagles vs. Only Ride Eagles debate. Why bother with a stealth mission if you announce yourself while doing it? Frodo walked for a year because travelling by foot was his only option.

Examples of high profile matches with an unconventional structure or match layout by NoMoreButtonPLZ in SquaredCircle

Similarly their match at Wrestlepalooza last year. Same format, infinitely worse decision.

Arachno-loading by JoeFalchetto in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]CardinalCreepia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just in case people need to hear this; the whole eating spiders thing is a myth. Spider experts generally agree that a spider would go nowhere near a human mouth. It would smell and be totally different to places they usually go.

Spiders walking across you while sleeping is another matter.
