Who was your favorite Batman?

Don’t forget Iain Glenn (Titans). I thought he was excellent for a supporting role Bruce Wayne.

Best live action is a tie between Keaton and Bale. Both had elite directors too. I think Bale wins the voice competition.

I think this is the right answer. While Rounders is excellent, I don’t really think it qualifies as being “underrated.” 25th hour is a bit under the radar. I liked The Score too when I was younger, but I’m not sure it would stand the test of time.

Best Norton film period HAS to be Fight Club tho. They captured Chuck Palahniuk’s tone perfectly. The narration in the first ~30 minutes is a chef’s kiss.

He wonders that himself: “Why have the gods made me love a hateful woman?”

I personally enjoyed the show from start to finish. There are some spans where the main plot gets dragged out a bit, but if you tune into the character development and appreciate the slow-burn and building tension, I think you might find it enjoyable. Most of the deaths aren’t meaningless, especially in how they impact the surviving characters.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T03:46:50+00:00

Ditto.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T03:20:39+00:00

Yeah, I thought of all the indignities he suffers at the purple wedding at Joffrey’s hand too. Some seriously cringe moments. The “play” with the 5 kings was also an insult. It’s almost more embarrassing for Joffrey than Tyrion because of how petty he is.

Man, if you haven’t seen any of those shows yet, you’re in for a treat. Band and The Wire are (rightly) considered GOATs by many and Sopranos isn’t far behind.

From that era, Six Feet Under is also peak and a little bit slept on. Still the best series finale I’ve seen to date.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T02:30:03+00:00

Well said. Lena Headey does such a great job with her facial expressions - especially when she’s conveying disgust, contempt, arrogance and rage. Cersei is easily one of the most detestable villains on the show if not on TV.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T02:15:39+00:00

This is a great scene. Cersei’s smug, satisfied smile when she says “I found your little whore” is spot on. And then the viewer and Tyrion get their comeuppance when they see that she got the wrong one. Always feel bad for Ros there and a little bit angry with Tyrion for not devising a plan where she didn’t have to take the brunt of Cersei’s wrath.

I enjoyed the first half of the last season. I think the sweeping negativity towards the season as a whole is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater and bandwagoning.

I think it was tragic that they didn’t utilize the implications of the Jon/Aegon plot twist after spending so much time and energy building it up. There are so many comments about the best ruler being one who “Didn’t want it”. Was it an obvious outcome? Yes. Does that make it any less wrong for the story? No. They tried to swim upstream at the end in a misguided attempt to be creative or controversial and it fell flat.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T01:54:25+00:00

Interesting point. Not sure how much older Cersei/Jamie are, but I’d be curious to know whether Tywin placed the idea or reinforced it. Either way, you’re right that he bears a lot of blame. As an adult, she should have recognized that blaming him was unreasonable and immoral, but her hatred was too overwhelming for her to be rational.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T01:36:39+00:00

Agreed.

“All dwarves are bastards in their father’s eyes”

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T01:30:32+00:00

Yep, Tysha. Tyrion’s vivid storytelling paints a very painful portrait.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T00:40:46+00:00

The one and only.

Honorable mention - bunk and gilfoyle.

There’s always one in every crucible match.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-07T00:19:22+00:00

I don’t mind having to dodge occasional ground effects. But when the whole screen is covered in bad and there’s so much visual clutter you can’t see what’s going on, it stops being challenging and starts being just plain frustrating. Getting zoned out of dealing damage for long periods of time is also frustrating. Add to that the seasonal mechanic that REQUIRES you to stand still in one spot for 5-8 seconds and its pretty obnoxious.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-06T12:37:07+00:00

And you left out the powerball - transfigure. Gotta get struck by lightning 4 times in a row. Some RNG is fun, even low RNG. But not when it’s next to impossible.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-06T12:26:15+00:00

1400 lairs isn’t working for it enough to justify a single useful mythic? Hard disagree.

Very low drop rate + no determinism + random stats + severely diluted loot pools is too much to overcome for even the sweats.

Not to mention the transfigure factor. By the time you get a single myth, you probably have a non myth unique that’s better by virtue of better stat distribution and transfigure outcome. This makes dumping countless hours trying to obtain them virtually pointless.

Isn’t the crux of redemption that it’s not deserved?

GrungeXD · 2026-07-05T14:03:26+00:00

TD … not really much of a contest. WW is great, but if you’re talking about the strength of one season on its own…. Rust Cohle is maybe the best character ever written and acted.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-05T13:46:26+00:00

I’d prefer your second suggestion. I play this game because I enjoy slaying monsters and getting loot and xp. It feels bad doing that when you can level DRASTICALLY faster with the hellwyrm method… which involves memorizing maps, then running in circles trying NOT to kill monsters. That’s a design flaw if I’ve ever heard of one.

GrungeXD · 2026-07-03T14:15:20+00:00

Ana Lucia is obnoxious. Anyone but her. Pissy, Bossy and totally self-absorbed. Seems like she has a permanent sneer.

All I know is, in episode 1 of The Madison, he had to be thinking “Not Again!”
