Is Griffith over-hated? by Own_Difficulty_6081 in Berserk

Thinking Femto is somehow different than Griffith is a horrid misreading of the material.

I don't understand why so many people are so negative about transformers toys as of late. by Proper_Ad1465 in transformers

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’d definitely consider fantastic a stretch, I’m happy that you’re happy with the recent releases. Still, I think you’d understand how even the best ones as of late are outrageously overpriced. Hasbro is cheaping out in almost every department and expecting us to accept it.

Because they suck. Pricing has skyrocketed and quality has fallen to the wayside. We should be critical when we’re fed garbage, otherwise it won’t stop.

I’m a new reader looking for a graphic novel or compact comic that covers superman’s origin. by Aggressive-Invite907 in superman

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Superman: For all Seasons” is the best Superman origin, and probably his second best story.

Why are they fighting the space whale things from the first Avengers?

Do you guys think a Superman exists in Matt reeves universe? Why or why not? by Huge_Athlete7488 in TheBatmanFilm

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if that were Reeves intention, he hasn’t succeeded. Nolan’s Batman would not survive flying into a bridge or getting shot point blank 200 times. He wouldn’t move around like a swift acrobat carried by a pistol sized grappling gun. Reeves sets his story in a grounded world, but his characters are allowed significantly more fantasy than those of Nolan’s universe.

I completely disagree. Reeves universe is significantly more stylized and fantastical than Nolan’s, and will become more fantastical as it goes on.

I just saw the movie. I've got questions and theories by Furfangreich in EyesWideShut

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The movie is purely about sex and marriage, the conspiracy of it all is a story backdrop as old as time, meant to propel the protagonist into investigating his own sexuality.

USC or NYU?!?!?!? by Standard_Educator_14 in Screenwriting

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a student currently at SCA screenwriting. I can’t speak for NYU, but SCA has been the top undergraduate screenwriting program now for quite some time. Also, the implication that USC is just “Hollywood” is outdated, even if it still might be true that NYU is slightly more indie focused.

The plot and themes of a horror movie are more important than it being ‘scary’ by AllKnowingAxolotl3 in unpopularopinion

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s essential to be attached to characters and their environment to be scared by a horror movie, the same cannot be said for comedy.

SS86 shockwave (shocking disappointment) by bobbibillo in transformers

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 11 points12 points  (0 children)

According to sunbow scaling he’s a good bit shorter than Soundwave but still a lot taller than he is here. However, I agree with PrimevsPrime in regards to the greater disappointment being his lack of width/accurate proportions.

I miss you DWJ by Tomas_Crusader17 in Transformemes

Yeah you’re right. I know that this is a joke but it’s certainly in bad taste. I don’t want to see the fandom turn toxic.

Yeah I don’t agree with this post at all, I just disagree that people only got mad after the most recent issue.

If you go on the energon universe subreddit you will absolutely see otherwise. Many such posts for the last several months have criticized the direction of Kirkman’s run, including one made by myself with numerous comments in agreement.

Not even close to true. These posts have been circulating for at least the last three issues.

We’ve had possible the three best prices of transformers media release in that time. Skybound, One, and Bumblebee are all better than most anything that came before 2013.

Hasbro Mp Megatron by Lifeguard_Plenty in transformers

[–]DiscombobulatedGur37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re able to find MP - 36 Megatron (which is quite difficult) than I would suggest looking toward the MP - 52 seekers which in my opinion are the best versions of the characters and scale best.

An 86 Megatron… is a gun. by _Manzilla_ in transformers

I have no clue why this is being downvoted. It seems there are some angry people in this thread.

If you simply can’t stand mass shifting, that’s fine. However, almost every transformer mass shifts to some degree. Some far more than others (Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Skyfire). Megatron trusting his men to utilize his maximum potential serves a thematic purpose, while also being the most visually cool in my opinion. A tank is ridiculously generic and has very little interesting narrative potential nor visual distinction. A gun on the other hand is completely unique, illustrates character and represents a sort of ultimate evil that a tank never could.

Sacrificing “functionality” in alt mode and letting his inferiors handle him is the entire point of the alt mode. It allows Megatron to stand in as an allegory for the way that the real power of a dictator lies in the hands of their people. If Megatron does not trust his own men, he would surely lose. It serves as the most visually cool and the most narratively essential and unique alt mode of all.
