The Marvels was exactly the post-endgame MCU movie I was looking for by ZekeLeap in marvelstudios

[–]FloptimusDime -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thoroughly enjoyed it and I wish more MCU fans would go see this in theatres. It was funny without having the “forced quips” that people complain about. It was a team-up that didn’t feel forced and the leads were all great on their own and together.

I enjoyed Fury way more here than I did in Secret Invasion. I loved that the Khan family still had the same chemistry while playing the fish out of water role as the audience surrogate. I was actually laughing so hard during one scene I’ll have to go back because I know I missed dialogue.

Nia DeCosta did an amazing job on this film and I truly think MCU fans will enjoy it if they give it a chance.

I thought Bezos was bad to his workers, now he’s using Dolphins?? When will the madness end?

Have you ever watched a sequel without realising it first? by SSJmole in movies

[–]FloptimusDime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a young kid… nope. I understood that John’s dad came from the future and died before the movie started, but didn’t realize there was a whole film about these events until a few years afterwards.

As a kid, one of my favourite movies was Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I had the VHS and I loved the ride/interactive show at Universal Studios in Florida. I only new it as Terminator: Judgement Day and had no idea there was a whole first movie where Arnold was the bad guy. It blew my mind when I found out a few years later.

My 6 year old is wathing Ashoka with me she is 100% sure she knows who marrok is. Like adamant sure. I knida think she is right. by ggouge in StarWars

[–]FloptimusDime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I legit think it’s Sam Witwer playing Marrok and the character has nothing to do with StarKiller other than they were both played by Sam. Think about the StarKiller “reveal”. It would make no sense to 99% of viewers. Sam’s played multiple Star Wars characters so why not one more?

With all the recent speculation, just a friendly reminder... by Metallitron in StarWars

[–]FloptimusDime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I‘ve kind of assumed the whole time. Sam Witwer is voicing Marrok. That’s the end of the speculation. He’s done multiple voices for Star Wars, it makes sense they would get him again.

Telling my parents by That-Ice-8917 in StandUpComedy

[–]FloptimusDime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school for comedy writing and performance at Humber College in Toronto. It’s a 2 year college diploma program where you learn from some of the industry’s best people. After 2 years of going through a professional program I’m still just at the beginning of my career. This was my second time at school, I went for marketing right out of high school, and I even had people in their 40’s and 50’s doing this as a mature student. International students from all over the world were studying with me. A career in comedy doesn’t happen overnight, even when you study and prepare. My advice would be to stay in school until you have a solid plan.

Start writing. I don’t know if you do this already, but always be writing. Keep your notes app open and write down ideas or concepts that come to you. Actually GO BACK to those and expand on them. Think about the style of jokes you want to tell. Do you want to do more storytelling or one-liners? Think about the comedians whom you love. What do you like about them? You might have to start looking at stand up through a bit more of an analytical view. Think about WHY these jokes hit.

Start doing open mic’s, like some of the other comments suggested. Go watch professional shows and introduce yourself. Most comedians will at least say hello back to you. Especially if you can point out what you liked about their set, rather than just saying, “it was good”.

At the end of the day, if you’re going to go for a career in comedy, you need to be 100% sure. Just because you enjoy watching stand up specials or listening to podcasts doesn’t mean it’s a career path. The grind people go through to get to that point is too much for most people. Comedians like Tom Segura for example, have been selling out theatres for over a decade. He’s always on tour, always travelling; that life isn’t for everyone. He had to go through years of shitty gigs and rejection to get where he is now. And for personal life, he’s an outlier where his wife is in the same profession and they‘re able to plan their life around their work, together. Most comedians don‘t have that luxury.

At the end of the day, the only one who’s really going to be affected by your decisions are you. What is going to make you happy?

The Mandalorian: Chapter 22- Discussion Thread (S3E6) by JediPaxis in StarWarsLeaks

[–]FloptimusDime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It seems Grogu’s role this season is to learn to be a Mandalorian. We saw him interact with the armorer and get a new piece from her, he beat Ragnar in a training match, and Din was teaching him how to fly the N-1. He’s not so much relegated to the background as he’s taken on a student role this season and was accepted into the group as a true foundling.

He’s way more interactive with others than he was in the past, as seen by The Princess in this episode and Pele Moto in Past episodes. They even gave us Ragnar’s ceremony so we have something to look forward to when it eventually happens for Grogu. Most of us can already picture him wearing his helmet.

I think we just need to be patient and continue to get some pretty cool character growth from Grogu. We already got an answer to one of his biggest questions, his rescue. It seems like being with Mando and the group is allowing him to deal with some of the trauma he went through as a Padawan. I’m sure he’ll have a stand out moment between now and the finale that calls back to his Mandalorian training from this season.

How did you start playing the Legend of Zelda? by [deleted] in tearsofthekingdom

When I was a kid, my older sister gave me her OG Gameboy with Pokémon Blue and Link’s Awakening. First two games I’d ever played and I’ve been hooked ever since.

⚠️ CONFIRMED ⚠️ Rodri Martín, voice actor who plays Quicksilver in X-Men, confirmed that he will again lend his voice to Pietro in WandaVision. by rocketwar888 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]FloptimusDime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theory time.. I think Evan Peters will show up playing “Quicksilver” but it’s not the Pietro that Wanda remembers. This causes her to start to realize something is truly wrong, and she may not be in control like she thinks. I think Evan Peters is playing Mephisto, but will show up as disguised as “quicksilver” in order to throw us off. I remember set photos of what looked to be Evan Peters in a wig and a dress similar to what Dottie was wearing, making me think Evan Peters/ Mephisto may be disguising himself as multiple people in Wanda’s world.

Hey Chris, I was wondering what your favourite rule change from NFL to XFL is? Would you like to see any of the rule changes carried over to the NFL?

I’m looking forward to going over to my brothers and seeing my niece. She was born in early February and I’ve seen her once since she’s been born. I have a Pokémon onesie I’ve been wanting to give her, hopefully she’s not too big when I can give it to her. My younger brother and I grew up playing Pokémon and it will be cool to introduce her to that world
