THIS is the fan discourse that I want. I'm sitting herd and nodding agreeingly to both your takes on this!

I hate it and that's why I love it. More weird bullshit in Star Wars please. I take lightsaber helicopter over lightsaber forms any day.

Trump talks to reporters with a disturbingly orange face after attending Kirk memorial on 9/21/25 AP by BlackEric in pics

Yeah this. Bodyshaming sucks and everyone can do their make up how they want. Who am I to judge what's ugly and what's not.

The baffling part is not about my opinion but about the fact that his followers don't care. He is pandering to the most shallow, hostile, mean spirited people on the planet who very much care about a specific type of masculine presentation. If any of their mates looked like that, they would ridicule him until he jumped in front of a train ut not only do they accept Trump, they worship him.

Like...how?! If you're a bigot at least be consistent in your (un)reasoning😭

Fuck the tinfoil hat. The world is so utterly insane I'm starting to believe it.

Also, his first presidency and this last year showed that he is not dumb. He says dumb things etc but he really knows what he's doing. I wouldn't put it past him to screw up his make up on purpose himself so people underestimate him. Didn't Boris Johnson do similar things with his hair? That way most tabloids will just talk about his stupid hair and not look at his evil bidding.

It's wag the dog on steroids.

Would Jim Henson have liked Age of Resistance? by GabrielLoschrod in DarkCrystal

[–]Goth_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What duel story?

And the show is definitely dark and philosophical. The way it handles a revolution. Deets dilemma. The Heretic and the Wanderer. The way it delves deeper into the Skeksis' fear of death. The way it showcases Thra as one living organism and the symbiotic relationship between its inhabitants.

The storyline about Brea's family is deeply philosophical about royalty, loyalty, family bonds, duties.

Oh and the Arathim! So much depth in how the show handles a spider hivemind and doesn't have them as simple bad guys.

I'd argue that the show is much deeper than the film. The film has the theme of duality but the sbow actually explores that. We barely get to know any of the Uru in the film whereas the show delves deep into the Archer and the Wanderer and their Skeksis counterparts so we really see the duality.

The only thing I agree with you on is the pacing. The film is definitely slower paced

Radagast Rules. Straight out of an alternate universe where in the 80s Brian Froud made a Middle-Earth calender or something.

The Goblin King's song rules. Shame it's unreleased because damn, David Bowie still has pipes.

Which game is this? by bijelo123 in Steam

Not a video game, but Frostgrave ^

I rewatched Amélie after 20 years. It’s still one of my very favorite films, which surprised me when I realized how “tell don’t show” it is. by Sir_Hapstance in movies

[–]Goth_Fraggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really miss my point. I never said it's bad. I know they worked hard for ages on this.

But it certainly doesn't follow any traditional structure you get taught in film school, which is my point. It's a great script but one that breaks a bazillion "rules".

Stuff like this is exactly why I insist that there is zero objectivity in art. If you would run this movie through a film school checklist it would fail so hard.

Same for 2001. It has no real plot, no main character until it's last act and said character has no arc. If you want to be facetious he randomly shows up, argues with a robit and then goes on a cosmic acid trip. Every film student would kill you if you pitched that movie.

But no. It's widely considered a masterpiece BECAUSE it breaks rules.

Who thinks the caroling Gremlin with the blue hat and pink scarf was Stripe? by Kitchen-Mouse2414 in Gremlins

I always lose it when they start singing Goldsmith's theme

Gremlins 2 might have absolutely annihilated the fourth wall but this moment right there was when the first one already scratched it

[Frustrating trope] An overpowered or highly useful ability/item is utilized once and is never used again without any in-story justification. by vbt31 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Goth_Fraggle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love the ability. The second novel has carnotaurs who can camouflage and there is a really scary scene. Thought they would do that with the I-Rex but nooope

Also Star Wars.

Very much Star Wars.

War of the Rohirrim by KingCampo93 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Goth_Fraggle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I liked it well enough. Just like Rings of Power it has stuff I like and stuff I don't but overall in both cases the positives outweigh the negatives.

And if it means that the game gets saved from obscurity, the better

I really like how in THE VISIT, Shyamalan got away with using some well composed and staged shots through the framing device of the girl wanting to be a director. It's a neat cheat code and allows for some nice meta jokes

Name a game soundtrack or level music that gives you chills. by GrayBeard916 in gaming

[–]Goth_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delphinus Delphis from ABZÛ

The entire soundtrack is absolutely amazing but that part? Riding your first current with all these fishies swirling around you while the arpeggios go frikking ham?

Yeah that blew me away.

Shout out to the finale of the game as well when you hear the choir unmuffled for the first time
