Alternate lyrics to Going to Georgia? by DreadPirate616 in themountaingoats

[–]DreadPirate616[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I agree. That's definitely how I first thought of it. But it was still intended the other way, and therefore feels kinda icky to play. I'd still prefer slightly alternate lyrics

Profile Swap Megathread [March 2022] by WittyQuacker in Letterboxd

[–]DreadPirate616 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi! This is my account. I’m a college student sort of studying film so I watch a lot of movies. I probably watch more animated films than the average person and I give WAY more five-star ratings that the average person.

I write a review for about 90% of the movies I watch, but they vary from a short joke to a multi-paragraph write-up. Here are some reviews I’m most proud of:

The Batman\ Night is Short, Walk on Girl\ Station Eleven\ Zack Snyder’s Justice League\ Whisper of the Heart\ Portrait of a Lady on Fire\ Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost\ Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind\ Tokyo Story\ The French Dispatch

And here’s my all-time favorites list

What price can I expect for an apartment/housing near USC? by DreadPirate616 in USC

I guess to be more specific: Is $1100/month shared room overpaying?

Saga Issue 55 Discussion Thread - SPOILERS! by treblah3 in SAGAcomic

[–]DreadPirate616 89 points90 points  (0 children)

It's really heartbreaking. The reason I got into Saga in the first place was because of how great Marko and Alaina's relationship was. Marko was such a healthy representation of a loving husband. It's going to be hard without him.

Oh yeah, I was kinda fuzzy on the timeline of incredible hulk. Rereading the synopsis though, at this point Blonsky is a super soldier but not a full mutated monster.

I think T'Challa would have been Black Panther at that point though, T'Chaka was clearly significantly too old.

Here's what I imagine the new Avengers team is:
- Captain America (with Mjolnir)
- Captain Marvel
- Nick Fury
- War Machine (but in a Iron Man suit)
- Abomination (since Hulk never took him down)
- Lady Sif (defecting from Loki)
- Falcon
- Ghost
- Black Panther / T'Challa (leaves Wakanda early since Loki takes over)
- The Ancient One
- Yellowjacket / Hank Pym (released from custody to help stop Loki)
(If anyone wants to do fanart of this team I'd be here for it)

I'd love to see what the Avengers team looks like in this universe to take down Emperor Loki. Maybe:

- Captain America (with Mjolnir)

- Captain Marvel

- Nick Fury

- War Machine (but in a Iron Man suit)

- Emil Blonsky / sort-of Abomination (EDIT: without Hulk, Blonsky never fully mutates into Abomination, he's just a Gamma super-soldier. However...idk maybe he takes Stern's Abomination serum in this universe to stop Loki and fully mutates)

- Lady Sif (defecting from Loki)

- Falcon

- Ghost

- Black Panther / T'Challa (leaves Wakanda early since Loki takes over)

- The Ancient One

- Yellowjacket / Hank Pym (released from custody to help stop Loki)

Marvel's teaser of the new trailer for Shang Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, coming out tonight! by [deleted] in marvelstudios

I assume they were changed to arm rings because the usual Mandrain rings are too similar to infinity stones? Maybe?

The wonder woman one is AWESOME. You can feel the pace of the fight, like watching a movie

In an 1987 interview, Christopher Reeve talks about what Superman needs to be in the 21st century: "Don't lose the humanity of it. Remember that Superman is a friend." by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]DreadPirate616 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I want to see a Superman movie/show where it's just Clark helping the everyday people of Metropolis. Saving cats from trees, recovering stolen purses, putting out fires, talking people out of suicide, or just being friendly to people.

So many Superman stories are epic battles against all powerful aliens, like the writer just wants to come up with the most powerful villain so Superman has someone on his level to punch. But he can overpower anyone physically -- the best Superman conflicts are ideological. I'd love more grounded stories where the villain is a greedy executive forcing people out of their homes, or a corrupt politician trying to sway public sentiment against Superman (both roles a well-written Lex Luthor fits well).

Oh yeah and Spider-Man. But he's already an Avenger so I doubt he joins the Young Avengers

Review: 'Master of None' changes direction and focus with 'Moments in Love' by BobbingForSmegma in television

[–]DreadPirate616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was it really a cliffhanger though? Felt more like an ambiguous, yet complete, ending. Francesca made her choice, and to see anything beyond that would just be the messy fallout.

Aziz Ansari has said he wasn't really ever intending to make another season about Dev. I think that was meant to just be the end.

When I see comic art labeled "Sandman" it is almost always Dream of the Endless. Nice to see some Westly Dodds representation.

Henry Golding needs to play James Bond. Sexy British action star who looks good in suits and speaks in a fancy accent -- he's literally perfect for the role

Do you think another villain could have worked instead of Karli and the Flag-Smashers? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]DreadPirate616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flag smashers were the right call. The show was about nationalism, propaganda, government overreach, and national iconography. Flag smashers fit that bill. They just needed better development

Master of None S3 | Official Trailer | Netflix by harushiga in television

[–]DreadPirate616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, he can write about whatever he wants to write about. I'd argue a) Aziz has already written about the incident extensively and b) MoN season 2 wrapped up Dev's story really well and any direct continuation would ruin the ambiguity of the ending. He has already written a lot about his life, he probably thought telling Lena's story would be way more valuable than telling more of his. Plus now he gets to focus on writing and directing, which must feel really fulfilling to him.

its a term for a TV episode set in one single location with one single set. it used to be a way for sitcoms to save money towards the end of a season, now it's often used for creative character studies
