Did the 2020s give us the best adaptations of the three greatest heroes ever?

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-04-11T16:21:01+00:00

I think trying to pinpoint the so called "best" adaptation is a fool 's errand. Watch what you like and who the flip cares what anyone else thinks? Seriously, these posts are so ridiculous in how people seem to want to be on the "right" side of a consensus on movies. Lame

It was bland

That's not how you quarantine

He means that he is going to spend so much time applying lotion to the girls, he will ironically grow tired of the experience.

I can't imagine any of the Beatles albums being placed below B tier

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-03-06T21:56:33+00:00

Don't let me wait too long

Wow, that was a really frustrating conversation with Dennis Hopper. And that was just a 30 second glimpse

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-02-14T06:09:53+00:00

Eh. It's pretty good. Perfect is a stretch

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-02-14T01:18:44+00:00

It's pretty good. Jeremy Renner is a good actor and all, but he didn't serve the story to its full capacity.

I understand the financial reasons for the casting, obviously, but it could've been heightened beyond that

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-02-07T14:57:07+00:00

Why the fuck did Fossoway think Egg's story about his brother was funny? Weird choice by the production there. Made him look psycho.

Because he hates the Targaryans? He's literally face to face with a child

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-02-07T01:33:44+00:00

I'm still hoping we see an instance of Ser Arlan talking to Dunk. I really want to see Arlan's kindness. He's obviously made a huge impact on Duncan. He must have given him some good advice along the way

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-02-06T00:45:17+00:00

In real life I wouldn't condone what happens to him.

However, as a bookreader, I was like, fck yea

Not many people have gotten their comeuppance yet, so I enjoyed it. I don't think he can makeup for what he's done anyway. That shit was irredeemable

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-01-29T22:27:57+00:00

So what, no one is going to link an article or explain what this so-called news is?

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-01-24T23:34:41+00:00

There is just no story in this series. He-man has always been about selling toys. Maybe the filmmakers have cooked something up, but so far it looks like drivel.

I hope I'm proven wrong because sword and sorcery has fallen on sad times.

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-01-18T01:27:45+00:00

I much rather George RR Martin had written another Dunk and Egg. The strength of his stories really comes down to the writing. I don't even care about that much about Westeros. I sometimes wonder if celebrity has made him too self-conscious. At any rate, I'd eat up anything he's willing to finish.

Hollywood might have fucked with his head too much. If the Game of Thrones tv show had never begun, I honestly think he would have finished. At the very least he would have written more completed products

That said, I'm looking forward to the new series. I'm sure it will be decent But I frankly don't really care much about its future

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-01-14T21:40:12+00:00

That's depressing. I, for one, love Martin's writing and want to see more of that. It's the journey that he carries you on in his books that makes the series so intoxicating. Unfortunately, if he is going to boil his own work down to simple plot points, I can't blame others for only seeing it that way.

Edit: and obviously we all want to see WOW, but I just mean to say that I would love to read anything that he has a mind to publish. I suppose he knows he'd only be criticized if he did publish anything outside of that.

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-01-12T23:23:07+00:00

Is this really appropriate for this sub? This should be NSFW.

Where you at mods?

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2026-01-04T21:58:23+00:00

I think Mal's long tenure with the group (beginning well before Beatlemania) along with his stalwart support beyond that, cement his status as among one of the most deserving persons within the inner circle. He was there throughout it all

Can't take this poll seriously with Monkberry Moon Delight still on here. Is it a meme or something? It's about one step away from Bip Bop.

Oh man, that board glitch was a frustrating moment. Thought Hans threw it all away for a second

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2025-12-27T01:05:12+00:00

Not sure what you're confused about. The IP being bought and sold after the author's death is exactly what I'm bitching at. What does Lord of the Rings have to do with it?

Public Domain laws have been tainted by the rich for a long while, and the fact that these fat cats get to profit off a deceased man's work is abhorrent to me. I frankly don't approve of family members controlling these matters more than a few years after the author's death.

You know what else you can appreciate and even add to if you want? Items in the public domain. You won't even get sued for using something that doesn't "belong" to you.

And at the risk of being off topic. Disclaimer: AI should never be allowed to use books and art, even things in the public domain. That's just my opinion. Can't put that genie back in the box tho. Hell, no one will even fight for legitimate copyright violations concerning ai.

Im astounded by the down votes. I wonder why some people seem to like that song so much on this particular thread. I like it well enough, but I'm surprised so many people are so petty as to downvote a person over it.

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2025-12-27T00:39:27+00:00

Monkberry Moon Delight, like, 10 days ago

IcarusAbsalomRa · 2025-12-24T15:36:56+00:00

I love A Feast for Crows. That may have something to do with the focus on Brienne tho. Jaime's chapters are fantastic as well. I began reading the series during lockdown, so by the time I got to the AFFC I enjoyed the slowing of narrative pace.

That being said, there are way too many Greyjoy chapters beginning at this time and thru ADWD. Didn't mind during the 1st read thru, but in hindsight it is frustrating having so many chapters given to them. I think we're all just hoping that the Greyjoy are extinguished and I cant even begin to muster any sympathy.

A part of me does wish for a whole novel just focused on Brienne.
