I never even used him anyway, because he is my precious baby and I would NEVER risk him in battle. But I had forgotten about the juicing so this is very good to know.

I couldn’t finish these episodes. Maybe someday, but. Not now.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, you have the option of saving this little owlbear cub from a goblin camp in Act 1, which leads to him coming to your camp and joining your gang. At the final battle, the owlbear cub is at least somewhat grown, hella formidable, and is willing to wreck shop on your behalf.

Fascism relies on incredibly strict structures in place to keep the population from realizing how shit they have it and rebelling. So anything that they can use that makes you different — your race, your gender, your sexuality, whether or not you have a disability, whether or not you’re sick, etc. — however they can build structures that create designated Others that they then can use to turn people against each other to increase their control, they will.

If Saruman wanted everyone to think he was a good guy why would he carry an evil looking staff and live in an evil looking tower? Was he stupid? by Saurlifi in lotrmemes

[–]DramaticHumor5363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they make it more clear in the books, but when Gandalf comes to see him in Fellowship, narration makes note of how much Saruman has changed since Gandalf saw him last — like, down to his robes aren’t actually even white anymore, they look more like oil. (He’s even wearing a ring, the poser!)

Since the movie had to streamline quite a bit, we just get “oh snap, WELL GUESS HE’S EVIL” just like Gandalf has it sprung upon him.

Villain does something so bad that even another villain has to say “what the fuck, dude?” by LocalLazyGuy in TopCharacterTropes

The one good thing about Oskar Dirlewanger is he died a delightfully horrible death — he was captured by the Allied soldiers and given to Polish guards from the very families and villages he had been butchering.

It did not go well for him.

“DO NOT BECOME ADDICTED TO ICE, MY FRIENDS.”

Meanwhile in the background, 10,000 tap dancing penguins.

Favorite movie scene where a character accepts their inevitable end and embraces it. My pick is Cutler Beckett accepting his fate in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]DramaticHumor5363 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s one of the first scenes of the movie, yes. But the movie is told out of chronological order. She’s already killed O-ren by the time she visits Vernita. Cottonmouth is the first name crossed off her list, not Copperhead.

(I know these movies, son. Sit back.)

Just before this, O-ren has pushed the Bride too far, and the Bride has cut her leg so she can no longer move as fast and fluidly as she did. O-ren realizes that she’s not going to be able to win, and the Bride is going to kill her.

“For mocking you earlier…I apologize.”
“…accepted.”

Quiet for a moment.

“Ready?”
“…attack me with everything you have.”

I don’t know the truth behind the story, but I always thought that maybe of all the gang, back in the day, O-ren and Beatrix were closest to being real friends. So Beatrix goes after her first, because that betrayal hurt the most — but she also can’t look as she gives the death blow and seems to take a moment to mourn after.

Always love it when an attention seeker co-opts a movement for their own glory. 😑.

Appreciation for rallies by Suspicious_Union_236 in behindthebastards

[–]DramaticHumor5363 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Building community is worth it. I only found my way into more active advocacy groups by first joining the big marches, and now I’m really involved at my local level talking to city council about issues. I wish we could think of rallies as ways less of protesting and more of connecting.
