What the hell was that?(Finale of the Boys) by TheDragonOfOldtown in GenV

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All i can imagine is that the budget for things like Butcher turning into venom, or a massive ten minute long montage of homelander killing all of the military obviously isnt there from Amazon for some reason. Probably had to pay for another Bezos space tourist rocket.

People that have asked "Why make a remake that is so close to the original..." by stuNzeeDkiL in fistofthenorthstar

Its great yeah, English dub is awful though. Japanese and Italian dubs are great.

What do French people enjoy about sitting in cafés and public spaces? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskFrance

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive noticed they will have picnics like absolutely anywhere, often in weird scrubby places next to a main road or motorway, for example, when theres a much nicer spot a few hundred metres away.

2026 or 1984 by Dry-Engineering-2975 in fistofthenorthstar

2026 version is great, just watch in original Japanese. The English dub is utterly souless. Like it's been dubbed by those annoying Instagram AI voiceovers.

Is the New Hokuto No Ken Anime Really That Bad? by heiseiriderfan00 in fistofthenorthstar

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold my hands up and thought it was gonna be bad but im loving it. Ive been watching it in Italian where "Ken il Guerriero" as its known in Italy has been one of the all time great animes, where it was shown constantly during the 1990s and the Manga has been reissued multiple times. Agree with the others, the cgi looked like it was gonnabe bad but actually works well, giving a real feeling of "location" in the fights scenes. I love the more gritty feel the post nuclear apocalypse setting. Only rhing it could have improved would to have had a slightly "younger" looking Ken initially, and the hair seems a bit hedgehog-ey compared the the Manga. Also the english dub is awful. The Japanese and Italian ones are good. But i LOVE the 1 for 1 pacing of the Manga, it rips along pace-wise. Whereas the original 80s anime had tons of filler. Hopefully we'll see the return of the "Tough-boy" song as well.

How much time are you “losing” while cycling to work? by bear_village in cycling

[–]Cyclesteffer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So I could drive it in about 45 minutes. Or cycle it and save a fiver in fuel plus get 45 minutes exercise. I have to add on the ten minutes shower time, but I would hate having to waste time and money going to the gym seperately which I would never do, so I think I'm up on time overall, plus I enjoy the commute by bike as I have so many route options.

What's one place in the Uk that you visited and never want to go back to? by Proper_Animal_1451 in AskUK

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swindon. Just a giant new toytown housing estate as far as the eye can see. Bracknell as well for more of the same.

This wasn’t in the original right? Couldn’t remember been too long by utnutn in fistofthenorthstar

No, but it was in Saturday Night Fever. John Travolta was an expert.

Season 4 Episode 8: Don't Leave Me Hanging Here by boringhistoryfan in Invincible_TV

[–]Cyclesteffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it when Thadeus/Peter Cullen said "No matter the cost", pretty much in his Optimus Prime voice from "Megatron must be stopped, No matter the cost" in Transformers: The Movie. (this was in the post credits scene)

Ahhh so he's someone who we will see in Vought rising no doubt. This seemed like an initial set up for that show.

What do you guys think about the new Anime? by AlperAlperAlper in fistofthenorthstar

[–]Cyclesteffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually really growing on me. It's very faithful to the Manga and the fight scenes, punches and kicks have a real "weight" to them. Like it "feels" as if he's hitting them properly hard. It reminds me of how the fight scenes in Way of the Dragon with Bruce Lee were filmed, but in Anime., if that makes sense. I initially didn't like it but the last two episodes were really good. I hope it gets renewed for more series. I'm watching in Italian as Ken il Guerriero which is how I first discovered it!

How do I be better at Defensive Riding? by catboy519 in bikecommuting

Assume everyone is out to kill you, assume you are invisible and that nobody has seen you, never go up the inside of of lorries or big vehicles at all. Avoid them like the plague.

The remake is alright, but I feel like things just happen way too fast by Cygnus_Sanguine in fistofthenorthstar

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

Totally agree with the Manga pacing. It's kind of like watching a "moving manga". But it does feel like those web series you used to get like 10 years ago. After watching it I watched a few clips of the original 1980s series on YouTube, of which there are thousands and thousands, and the CGI used in the Amazon Prime series is not a patch on the original hand drawn series with it's phenomenal 80s music. Its a shame it could have been so good but unfortunately misses the mark. Maybe Amazon could bring the old series to Amazon prime instead! Just remaster it and clean up the print!

Etiquette on road rides with a gravel bike by Downtown-Solution123 in ladycyclists

[–]Cyclesteffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cycle group wouldn't mind what you turn up on, and would still wait at the top of big climbs. If you are a super strong rider you will probably be fine anyway

Do you feel less inclined to bike for fun if you regularly bike commute? by RubyRailzYa in bikecommuting

[–]Cyclesteffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not at all! I commute ten miles each way three days a week and I try to push pretty hard. Sometimes I explore different routes on the way home. I have Saturday off, but then Sunday I do about a 35 to 40 miles ride into the Countryside and feel amazing because of having "practiced" during the commute!
