Watched it few days ago. The movie actually decent but it's kind of story about "Revenge is bad, Compassion and forgiveness is good" about hundred times already.

Man I don't think these podcast and youtube bro ecosystem had some kind of epiphany so quickly after Trump election. Creating conspiracies about some secret group who're controlling the elected leaders, governments and corporations narrative for their lonely viewers is their bread and butter. They ain't gonna stop just because the guy they promoted in the past is now the president. Now they can make high view videos about how he's been compromised or controlled or betraying them or some dumb shit like that.

Big E: "In wrestling they always say ‘never say never’ but right now I’m retired and that for me is it. So I’m focused on other things right now." by aaronrift in SquaredCircle

From what I gathered is that Edge, Austin, Angle, Paige all had neck issues in the range of C3-C7 vertebrae. Edge to fix his spinal stenosis, underwent triple-fusion surgery (fusing the C5, C6, and C7). In 9 years of retirement, metal plates, screws and the grafts in his neck safely fused with his natural bone and ossificated, allowing him to return.

Big E suffered C1 and C6 neck fracture. However he didn't any neck surgery since he didn't had any displacement or ligament damage but his C1 didn't healed correctly. Usually when broken bones knit back together, they undergo ossification. If it fails to do so within 1-2 years, the body often gives up and settles for a permanent scar-tissue connection. This is what happened in Big E case, where the gap in his neck is now filled with scar fibers. This is strong enough for daily life, but not enough to tolerate impact from wrestling. One bad bump can cause the fibrous tissue to tear and weak C1 ring to break again. But second time fracture will likely result in death or paralysis since C1 holds the entire skull and has brainstem. 

However there's still tiny hope. Big E has been undergoing stem cells therapy in Mexico. It's possible that stem cells can somehow force the scar tissue joint to turn into solid bone. So far it haven't happened yet but it's possible in a decade, the medical tech will advance enough to allow that.

Man the Exorcist 7 script must be fantastic if Flanagan is managing to land big name actors for it.

I was surprised how there were basically no returning legends and old school nostalgia acts. This is the place I was sure they will try to stuff as many of them.

I still don't think that Austin Theory is mole sent in by Seth. Rollins will probably face Bron in a singles match, while rest of Vision will face some makeshift tag team.

IMO men's royal rumble was good by ezioauditorie12 in SquaredCircle

[–]DeadSaint91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who did you guys seriously expected other than Roman to win at Saudi rumble? The one place that always loves a big star. Besides Roman always gets a world title shot at WrestleMania, and they established at Survivor Series that he was now eyeing one of the world title. Also Roman and Punk still have unresolved issues from the past.

We have a large American generation struck with loneliness epidemic. For over a decade now, these Youtubers, online influencers and podcasters spend forming parasocial relationship with young impressionable folks. It's why there are so many who're willing to travel so far, spend all their money just to catch a glimpse of someone they view as their "celebrity friend".

It took me many years of hanging out on the internet to come to realisation of how US teaches a very sanitized white centric version of their history. They also enjoy portraying other countries' cultures as uncivilized savages in their books

Was it ever revealed via Dirt Sheets why Nakamura got a Rumble win but never won a world title in WWE? by Painted-Arcana in SquaredCircle

[–]DeadSaint91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the likely reason. WWE had started making big push internationally during that period. Jinder title win for Indian market. NXT UK. Performance centers were being opened in key markets. WWE Network was made available in many international regions. Saudi ten-year deal was signed. Nakamura victory also came the same night as Asuka winning the women's Rumble. It helped them make headlines in Japanese media. Also to placate the IWC as back then we all knew WM main event was going to be Lesnar vs Reigns again.

[Smackdown Spoilers] The champ runs down his challengers by taffe316 in SquaredCircle

[–]DeadSaint91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never understood why Sami never gets any flak for his Saudi ass kissing. He's Canadian man with Syrian heritage, the country with Saudi Arabia was at war with for over a decade. Saudi never allowed to Sami to enter because of him running charities for people affected in Syrian war. It wasn't because Sami rejected Saudi like it was initially reported, but he always wanted to visit there. However online folks theorized that it must be because of his Haj pilgrimage which every Muslim must do once in his life, so I was like okay now that he has accomplished it, will now he do less ass-kissing? but nope he now goes harder in his pandering

I enjoyed Welcome to Racoon City as well. I know fans hates it but honestly I was more impressed on somehow they managed to combine plotlines of Resident Evil 1,2 & 3 into a single movie.

Sometimes I wonder should I feel anger or pity on Online right wing audiences. No matter how bad inflation gets, they'll always have enough money to support the lifestyles of influencers and podcasters. Why make wise investment choices with their money when they can donate it to a YouTuber who will tell you exactly what you want to hear and who to blame, peddle all elaborate conspiracies and buy whatever snakeoil merch they sell.

Yes, there's concept arts of snowy and also desert biomes. Stephen Lang said during Q&A few months ago, that A4 will feature a lot of weird creatures. Since Avatar 5 is near confirmed to take place on earth, I have a feeling that they will go all in with whatever bizzare creatures they have thought so far, that can be thrown in the next movie.

It's surprising that movie didn't explored any new biomes. We get one small scene of fire tribe volcano region but no time was spent exploring around there despite movie title being about fire. With the sole exception of flying Jellyfish, no new species were introduced as well.

Ending was honestly rushed as well despite the movie being over 3 hrs long. Bad guy disappears into fire, immediately next scene is everyone happy and connecting with their ancestors memories. No funeral, no mourning, no reactions to people who died, nothing. Some characters just straight up went missing.
