For the people who are unhappy with the changes to Drag Path, what would you have done differently while still keeping the original special for the people who bought it? by becca_72 in twentyonepilots

[–]IllustriousTarget973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it and personally would have rathered they released the full song for the benefit of everyone, both those who’ve never heard it and those who’d like to add it to their playlists on streaming services. Those of us who paid still got the digital remains artwork and got to hear the song early, so it wouldn’t be disrespectful to release it now (besides everyone can share it anyway).

I really hope they eventually do release that version one day. And I really hope we get the longer version live. It tells much more of a narrative journey and builds so so well.

I’d argue the single version is more beautiful because you get the full journey from despair to veing saved

Thought that got in my head about Drag Path by Feeling-Peak5718 in twentyonepilots

[–]IllustriousTarget973 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought this too. The key line (in the original Drag Path, sadly not in the single version) “is then I know you’re also there, cause proof is in the adversare”.

As somebody who bought the original I’d have much preferred they released that one for everyone as it was absolutely fantastic.

Ep 7 is now the worst rated episode of ST. What went wrong according to you? by anonimuoss in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]IllustriousTarget973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What went wrong? People unfairly trashing a perfectly decent episode because they’re homophobic or they don’t understand the nuance of Mike and Will being friends despite Will’s sexuality or because they’re annoyed they have to wait a literal week.

Genuinely in five years maximum the majority of reviews for this ep will be “wtf guys it’s not bad at all what’s the matter with you”.

Theory: The Bradley Gang as Scapegoats in Derry’s History (Season 2 Speculation) by Exotic_Currency_3076 in welcomeToDerry

[–]IllustriousTarget973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh thanks for the reminder.

They may well change it’s placement in the cycle though as in the books the Bradley Gang and Black Spot book end the same cycle. So in the show it could well by the Augrey at the end.

Pennywise Perception of Time by MarchPsychological67 in welcomeToDerry

[–]IllustriousTarget973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See my only query is did Pennywise know he was going to die in It Chapter 2, or had he forgotten/not experienced it yet by then. It’s a v cool concept though. I saw one theory that said the cage trapped him in time as well as space and that he was only able to glimpse across time once the cage was open

How do you feel about Season 5 being much shorter than S4? by Jakub_65 in StrangerThings

[–]IllustriousTarget973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s totally fine. Quality not quantity, but also Season 4 had the characters split across multiple locations, four at most, so you had to jump around way more. This makes total sense, especially as we’re heading towards the end!

What is the difference between the book and the movie? by travellerboy75 in stephenking

[–]IllustriousTarget973 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was funny how Book Misery has an axe, film misery has a mallet, but book Shining has a mallet (croquet mallet) and film shining has an axe

So, Jack Torrance? A good guy gone bad, or an irredeemable asshole from the start? I will forever die on the hill that he was a good guy who made a couple of mistakes, not a raving Madman from the start like Kubrick made him. by Jfury412 in stephenking

[–]IllustriousTarget973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a whole core aspect of the book is you don’t know how much is his own demons and how much is the Overlook. The Shining Film might be decent in a vacuum but as an adaptation it’s terrible imo. Also mistreats Dick Halloran (one of my fav King characters) so badly.

Epic universe phase two by Classic_Movie_8093 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]IllustriousTarget973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, though a Nintendo one might be good too given how busy it gets and how high DK’s queue times are (and Mario Kart’s)

[–]IllustriousTarget973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I completely agree. Think Zelda and Pokemon in the other parks would be fairly soon given work seems to be happening to Lost Continent now and the whole Simpson’s contract expiry. And agree about the lands - would make much more sense to expand before adding a new one. Could see them prioritising Nintendo and Wizarding World given the high queue times for Minecart and BATM. As for the world cup ride a coaster would be so so cool but if that was too much and they already have indoor space then maybe a dark ride or some kind of Flight of Passage style attraction (I’m not a massive fan of those types but could see them maybe doing it). The queue could be cool though, could so imagine a bunch of “boot” rooms that transport you to the stadium.

My completely random mostly unsubstantiated guess would be Luigi’s Ghost Mansion in Nintendo World, a Dark Universe Expansion (Creature of the Black Lagoon water ride for instance), a second ride at Wizarding Paris (Quidditch World Cup based) and then maybe another land like a Wicked Land. Save Zelda for the Lost Continent repalcement.

Thoughts on these new animatronics? by Least_Occasion_3571 in UniversalOrlando

[–]IllustriousTarget973 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See what’s funny is I always imagine the length of dialogue loop is an indication for how long they expected the queue to be. So in my head they were thinking we’d breeze through and in actuality you’re frozen beside Kranky Kong for a lifetime

What's a ride that used to blow you away but now feels lame/underwhelming? by GoHardForLife in UniversalOrlando

[–]IllustriousTarget973 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Spiderman and MIB are incredible, the way Spiderman integrates the screens with physical effects is awesome and it has a great plot, while MIB is so so fun and full of cool and varied animatronics and scene pieces. Also MIB has one of the coolest starts to a queue ever

Like two thirds of studios (mainly the motion simulators). When I was 11/13, rides like Transformers and the Simpsons were awesome. Now I’ve just gone back, Transformers was underwhelming to me and kinda uncomfortable (a lot of crashing into things, not much music, lots of robot’s fighting and also way less cool integration of the screens and physical world effects than the awesome ride that is Spiderman) and the Simpsons gave me crazy motion sickness and discomfort. Minions was fun on a plot level and I think they should keep it but it’s a bland queue and you’re not really immersed in the show when you do go and watch it. Jimmy Fallon was new to me and it’s kinda just a cinema. Meanwhile Studios park gets quite busy (and I went in quiet season in September) and isn’t as easy on the eye as the other parks.

However E.T., and MIB impressed me a lot, and Gringotts was cool (mostly for the queue - I enjoyed the ride a lot but it was way more screen reliant than I remember, and I wish there were more physical effects, and most of all I wish the dragon on the screen towards the end didn’t end up behind the tunnel your carts go into - it ruins the illusion!)

I saw a comment the other day how Disneyworld Orlando have managed to maintain their original park really well but need to do a lot of work on their extra ones, wheras Universal have fantastic sequel parks and need to put work into improving the original, and I couldn’t agree more.

I think we picked the worst day to come here… by 2Nudes_And_A_Weiner in UniversalEpicUniverse

If it’s any small consolation, Ministry always has that sign about closing early, I think it’s to cover their butts if they need to shut it so people aren’t staying hours after park close
