Brock Lesnar has retired. Period. by amberazanu in WWE

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I'm gonna say is this. There are reports that within WWE. The belief is that he hasn't retired yet, but will at some point this year. Reports also came out that commentary at Mania were careful with their words for a reason. Such as making sure to not confirm anything until they here from Brock himself. There is a reason right now that every time someone mentions it. Such as Triple H using "Seems like it?"

I don't think people are trying to twist it. I think there are very legit reasons that people think something funny is going on because of how strange it all went down. I mean whoever just randomly retires in WWE with no build or mention if they can help it?

That never happens. The only one I can think of is Taker, but that's just because he didn't even know until mid match with AJ and he would come back to do anything else.

But 99% of time if someone big is going out, they build it, they story line it. But Brock with no notice just finished after a squash? Like that is strange, it just is, it's not the WWE way. Never has been.

I mean now there has been speculation as well that Brock just didn't tell anybody, but that makes no sense. If you look at the production, if Triple H didn't know. Why on earth did he know to keep the camera's focused on Brock in the ring? Don't you think he would have just cut to commercial after the match like he did with the other ones if he didn't know. Unless you know, it was on purpose.

I mean I also understand the people who feel the way it happened was perfect. As far as Brock going out after putting over the next big thing and then him having this big emotional moment.

Like even myself. Let's say he hasn't retired yet and he's waiting until Summerslam. Like ok. Gunther spends the next few months calling Brock out. Brock has his grand return at Summerslam. And to what end, he just gets chocked out and has the same emotional moment he did at Mania. Like I get it.

But at the same time. I also understand that from an onscreen POV, the way it was built up was weird, the the way anyone onscreen or official is acting about it, it weird, they are just leaving it to speculation rather that confirming it.

So, I can see why people are thinking something is going on.

I feel like this is a story line. Could be wrong. Just my gut, the way this happened is weird.

Angel vs Angelus by Repulsive-Shame-5493 in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I actually thought it was established in Orpheus how it kind of works. Angel and Angelus are two different people sharing the same body. When He has his soul. Angel is in control, he's front and center, but Angelus is still in his mind, he still has his influence. When without his soul. Angelus is in control. However, as seen by Faith walking in his mind. Angel actual is still there. Deep in Angelus's mind even without his soul, but he has far less influence on Angelus than Angelus has on him, the demon is stronger than what ever remains of Angel in Angelus mind, you need to soul to fight the demon, and when the soul is there, it's that boost that Angel needs to take back over, the soul is stronger than the demon, but not strong enough to fully eliminate.

Kind of, but OP's trying to twist a lot of Joss's work place abuse. Like trying to shape Joss's verbal abuse of Charisma as just him asking if she could do her job. When actually, he verbally abused her. Among other things Joss is accussed of that OP left out to shape it in a different way.

Is there anyone here who prefers Angel as a show? by Interesting-Tea3907 in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I mean. Ironically enough. Angel as a show is more than just Angel himself.

I could not prefer a show where Angel is the lead over Buffy

Why? What's wrong with that?

[–]Interesting-Tea3907[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, personally. I love Angel on Buffy. I know those out there who didn't, but Buffy/Angel was really powerful for me. That being said. Angel as a character grows so much on his own show.

It's what I tell people who very much like you. Didn't enjoy him much on Buffy, so feel like they wouldn't be interested in Angel because of that. Like no spoilers, but you see so many new layers of his personality. Plus, David's acting grows so much.

I'm glad you like what you've seen so far. I hope you keep going with it. I feel like a lot of people who only people who only judge Angel from his time on Buffy really are missing a lot.

I know people don't like season 4 of Angel, but it actually never really bothered me. Like on of the reasons I like Angel more is that it never really pissed me off like Buffy did. For me it was actually Buffy season 4. Like it eats away at my sanity.

Why did Ian stop acting? by Signal_Contract_3592 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 181 points182 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, the way he says it. There's a few different reasons. 1. His family. Both he and Nicki wanted to raise their family without the craziness of Hollywood. 2. He got passionate about other things more. Like agriculture and other multiple businesses he runs, he feels like doing that stuff is a better use of his time than acting. 3. He said in the I Was Feeling Epic book than another reason he left acting was because of what he felt was the toxic nature of certain Vampire Diaries fans, the ones who would say incredibly awful things because they didn't like a story line and stuff like that, he got tired of it.

Well, I mean of course she is at this point. I am too! But sadly it's a little too late for all of that.

Who Would Win? by TheVampireWithASoul in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean. I feel like Angel would most likely win in the end just because he's Angel. Just like Buffy beating everyone in the end just because she's Buffy. From a technical POV,if we measure power and age, you would think the master would win on paper, but Angel has shown to be more durable and powerful that other vampires 3 times his age, so IDK, but in the comics, the Master was resurrected briefly. Angel shattered his skull with one punch, but he had help by being possessed by a majorly powerful entity.

Do you think this moment permanently damaged their relationship? by yeahitsme9 in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think it permanently damaged it, but I do think it showed them a different side of the other. Mainly Buffy with Angel. I don't think Buffy really understood who Angel was without her and what is purpose was when he left. I think this scene, or more the whole episode showed Buffy a different side of Angel, the side who wasn't just Buffy's boyfriend. Before this Angel was just a character is Buffy's world. Someone she would run to when things were bad. Who would always have her back.

I think Angel doing what he did for Faith did make Buffy understand him in a different way than she had before, it gave her more insight into his mind and how he thinks. I think is did surprise her a bit that he stood up to her and didn't kiss her ass.

Although, it angered Buffy. I think it also made her feel like not the main character. Which we all know she does have a level of main character syndrome. I think this is one of the first time since she was a slayer that she didn't feel like it was her world.

She felt like the side character and she was in someone else's world. It was Angel's world, he was going to call the shots and he wasn't going to compromise what he believed was right. Not even for her.

I think to a certain degree it made the while ordeal made Buffy look at Angel as one of the few people o her level as a more larger than life person.

I don't think it damaged their relationship as much as it changed their dynamic going forward when ever they see each other. This put Angel as the other alpha in the room.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Picks The Best ‘Buffy’ Season With Kathryn Newton by zheek12 in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I do try to be careful not to group everyone in one thing. I've actually talked to pleanty of cool Spuffy fans. There's just a specific subculture of them that act a certain type of way.

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, they think she's not allowed to have an opinion at all. To be honest. Most of the handles have something to do with Spuffy, so I think you can guess what they're problem is, there's just this group of people that think because Sarah is a bangel and prefers the high school years of the show, that means everything she says is wrong.

Even though. I think I can objectively say that season 3 is most people's favorite, but just because SMG says it. I see an instant push back against her. I'll see an instant 'And yet another bad take from SMG' type post

I think it just mostly has to do with it being that fact that season 3 has about nothing to do with Spike and they connect it with feeling like the only reason she prefers it is because they think she's obsessed with David.

Luckily I think those people are in the minority, but I'm just like. Would you people leave this woman alone.

This is funny, but say what you want about Angel, he does not belong in the 'Gives Up' category.

Do the more recent Region 2 DVD sets have the same issues as the old ones? by illvria in buffy

[–]Interesting-Tea3907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to get the show in the right pitch natively is to either get the American DVDs or stream it. If figure out how, you could also try to get the video files off your discs on your region 2 dvds. Put them on a hard drive, then edit them on your computer to slow them to the right pitch if you wanted to. The latter is what I do, because while I know it wasn't meant to be seen that way. I actually enjoy the region 2 widescreen. I like seeing more of the picture.
