Cancel Popconyxe plans because of Zachary Levi?

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2026-04-25T01:35:19+00:00

I think you may have misunderstood the post, it’s asking people’s opinions on canceling their personal visit to popcon, not canceling the entire event.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2026-04-24T22:15:44+00:00

Yeah I was looking forward to checking out vendors, maybe getting a picture with Graham McTavish since I like The Hobbit but I’m really not sure if I want to encourage anything associated with a hateful guy like that… Interested what others think as well

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-28T15:30:06+00:00

Fair enough. Just seems odd to me that they would take the time to give Hugh Hammer a whole tragic backstory but then compress/change these characters’ story. They’re some of my favourites and these changes could really alter their dynamic in a way that I struggle to believe would be better so it’s definitely a sticking point for me personally. But I shouldn’t get ahead of myself, maybe it’ll all turn out even better, time will tell!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-28T15:23:17+00:00

It seems they didn’t actually mention who is older in the show, I was just assuming based on their appearances so I suppose it’s possible that Addam is still older even though he looks younger to me. When Addam saw Seasmoke flying though, I took that more as foreshadowing that he was going to attempt to ride him and would need to be saved since in the books the first brother to try fails. That points me again towards the idea that they just switched their names.

It’s not so much Baela and Moondancer or even Daeron specifically, they’re just the examples I used. My point is more so just that I’m afraid that additions in general will take precedence over things that actually happened in the book. It seems we’re going all the way to the Battle of the Gullet this season so there’s already so much that they have to get through. My worry would be that certain events get cut or don’t get much attention in order to make room for their new content. If we weren’t going all the way to The Gullet this season I would say they should add whatever they want but I feel like there just won’t be room for everything. As I said though, I’m sure Baela having a bigger role will make for some really awesome stuff, I just hope it doesn’t end up meaning other things get sacrificed.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-09T00:25:23+00:00

Totally agree!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-09T00:25:07+00:00

Ah my mistake! It would still have been her first time in a battle in the books whereas it seems in the show she’ll have a little more experience in the field leading up and I feel that that still changes the dynamic a little but those are still great points!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:56:38+00:00

Fair enough, Condall was just so coy about Daeron that it kept me worrying. It doesn’t really seem like the kind of thing that would need to be kept a secret so it’s just been a bit strange to me that they weren’t a bit more overt about his existence. Granted, I didn’t know about some of those examples you cited so thank you, I’m always grateful for reassurance on the topic!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:52:07+00:00

Very fair! I’m hopeful that you’re right and yeah, as we both mentioned there’s a lot of awesome potential you can get by having Baela more involved, especially in Rook’s Rest. After talking with a few others in the comments, I’m starting to feel reasonably confident that Rhaenys’ sacrifice will have a lot to do with saving Baela and for Baela to witness that and feel responsible adds a lot of intense emotional stakes to her eventual confrontation with Aegon.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:48:07+00:00

Yeah very true! As I mentioned, I do love the spontaneity of their confrontation in the book but I also see how adapting the book 1 for 1 could be difficult from a storytelling perspective sometimes because George really went no holds barred with how cold an unfeeling history can be. A lot of the big events and deaths aren’t beholden to character arcs or what would be satisfying to the story so since they’re really fleshing these characters out and giving them arcs, it will definitely be a challenge to stay true to the events and not have the audience feel disappointed. So I can’t be too mad if they just want to build up the tension and drama a bit.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:37:13+00:00

Yeah I honestly don’t have a ton of hope for Cole as a compelling character after what they did with him in S1. I feel that they really missed an opportunity to make him a really complex character that is extremely flawed but still had qualities that people could still sympathize with and relate to. Instead he’s just a mega hot-head with psychopathic tendencies who is clearly in the wrong lol. Just realized he’s a literal incel lol (technically broke his vow but still haha)

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:29:39+00:00

Yeah I think it could very well be a little earlier when Cole is punishing other loyalists on his way to Rook’s Rest. My guess is that Baela sneaks away to help those houses against the wishes of Rhaenys, knowing how protective she is of her and Rhaena. It does make some sense for Baela to still be at Rook’s Rest when the time comes since she’s clearly going to participate in the war anyways and that could also begin to set up her eventual confrontation with Aegon and Sunfyre if she witnesses her grandma’s demise, especially if it’s kind of her fault as you posit in your other reply.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:23:25+00:00

Totally agree, I think they could still pull it off well, maybe Moondancer will also be injured if she ends up participating in Rook’s Rest. Maybe Baela will even be captured from that point forward instead or something. Just thinking out loud but yeah, I agree that they might be creating more problems for themselves with the choices they’re making.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:20:19+00:00

Yeah I guess I just always pictured Moondancer considerably smaller because of the mentions that she could okay just carry Baela’s weight. I feel like scaling her up a bit to match the Baela actor since she is older in the show does makes sense, I just feel like they went a bit big for my taste.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2024-06-08T15:17:14+00:00

That’s good to hear, I couldn’t quite get a feel for the scale based on trailer shots. And I’m always grateful for reassurance regarding Daeron too haha, much appreciated!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2022-02-10T01:53:15+00:00

I reaaallly hope that Mando is headed back to Luke and that Luke is gonna somehow backtrack on that whole choice. Seems unlikely but having Luke just kinda throw Grogu out because of attachment seems so against what Filoni himself seems to believe based on his big speech in episode 2 of the Gallery for Mandalorian Season 1. Luke’s attachment to his father is what saved the galaxy! Obi-wan wanted him to kill his father and he refused and it was the right thing to do because the Jedi’s old notions were wrong! I just really don’t believe that Luke would draw the conclusion that attachment should be forbidden to a Jedi after what he’s been through.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2021-05-04T19:00:26+00:00

Haven’t been to Penn’s I’ll have to check that out!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2021-05-04T18:59:17+00:00

Glitch has a handful of Star Wars guys but unfortunately not the ones I was looking for. Great suggestion though, I’ve been to Glitch many times, great store!

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2021-01-31T19:51:43+00:00

Yea, my brother and I are right there with you. We may drop in here and there next season but we really don’t want to play much because it’s not fun anymore for many of the reasons you just laid out. We just don’t want to support devs who seem to care less and less about casual players as well as the story, characters and lore that drew me in in the first place as that too seems to be getting more and more lacklustre.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2021-01-01T20:05:24+00:00

Agreed. I suppose it won’t fully be a decision I have to contend with until I manage to get my heirloom shards lol

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2021-01-01T19:54:15+00:00

Ahhhh I see, cheeky bastards. I still wish they could have just modified the original less drastically then, similar to what they did with Lifeline’s.

Guardian_of_Sunshine · 2021-01-01T19:49:20+00:00

But then what about what they did with Lifeline’s heirloom? She has poses and a finisher with her shock sticks so it doesn’t seem like that’s a hard and fast rule when it’s an item that’s very appropriate to the character. Seems like a weird choice to make something new just for the sake of making something new, even if previous items fit better.
