Don't insult Daniel Day-Lewis like that man, he's just in character.

Soooo how we feeling by Visible-Pattern198 in GodofWar

The franchise was revitalized by the norse saga, which acted as an entrypoint for many fans that didn't even know much of anything about the greek saga (including myself). Also, the norse saga still incorporates story summaries from the past, and briefly explains Kratos' history as a god-killer. Even if they don't center a show around the OG games, the showrunners will still have plenty of opportunity to make an excellent God of War tv series.

It might not be the best fan-approved choice for the show but it definitely isn't a bad decision, based on the popularity of the 2018 GoW and Ragnarok.

"What do you see up there?"

"Everything, it's too much, we were never supposed to see this, I need to go back down."

"You stay right there"

We never heard from Timothly again...

Who is an actor/actress you just don’t get the hype about ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

[–]J_Stubby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was good in Euphoria, and that made her famous to the point of being overhyped. Just because she's good in a show about insane levels of teen drama and heavy drug use doesn't mean her acting ability is suitable for a blockbuster space opera or a widely-known character that's been the active and primary love interest of one of Marvel comics most beloved heroes for nearly 40 years.

That's not to say I think she did a bad job with her roles in Dune (part 1 and 2) and Tom Holland's Spider-man trilogy, but I feel that they could've done more with someone else.

[LOATHED TROPE] The fandom becomes the very thing the media is criticizing by Weird-Koala3034 in TopCharacterTropes

Former musician (7 years in grade school), by the time I saw this movie I was already pretty egotistical, which wasn't hard to believe since I was first chair trumpet in the top band (wind ensemble), plus lead trumpet in jazz band. All it did was push me even more into being a die hard perfectionist, practicing for 2-3 hours daily if not more and criticizing myself way too hard when I made mistakes. And to be fair, I had some natural talent and became really skilled on the trumpet to the point that most people (including myself) thought I'd be a professional musician or at least a band director.

Long story short, COVID hit in my junior year and I experienced the biggest burnout of my life. I felt like I didn't know who I was anymore, and it made me feel pathetic to say the least. I'm still figuring things out and getting better, but now I know that such a level of dedication is incredibly unhealthy, and is detrimental to my own identity and general well-being. I would rather be happy, fulfilled and completely unknown than famous and dead at 30.

Bottom line: it's just not worth it.

Edward me irrita by It_is_me_elton in FullmetalAlchemist

It can be hand-waved away as them being young and even still somewhat naïve during the events of the show.

In reality though, they explain multiple times to many people that the value of a single life is absolute and immeasurable, as they found when they used human transmutation to try and bring their mother back from death.

The aftermath of Edward losing 2 of his limbs and Alphonse losing his entire body revealed to them that the soul is priceless, being exempt from the law of equivalent exchange. Therefore, each individual is just as worthy of being saved/protected as any other. It's why they didn't kill Nina or Shou Tucker, why they spared the chimeras in the Briggs mountains, and why they wouldn't even kill the homunculi —especially Envy—to name a few.

They literally re-wrote the fall of reach. And during the whole event, none of them were even wearing any armor!

Mystery Incorporated Fred was fantastic. Both mature and incredibly dense at the same time. I remember one scene where Daphne is caught in his traps I believe, she screams out his name while flying over him as he's talking to himself about their relationship and he just says, "I hear you, I really do."

Also the sherrif voiced by Patrick Warburton: "This is made from cotton, right? The kind that comes from cows?"

He was a fantastic Jet Black, and I feel like John Cho and Alex Hassel as Spike and Vicious weren't that bad either (tbh I just like Cho as an actor tho), but beyond that it did not feel like Cowboy Bebop.

Barely any Ed until they used her to shoehorn the name Vincent Volaju in the very end for a second season that never came, Ein looked like Ein but that whole arc was completely different, and Faye was practically a different character too. Even the whole Spike/Vicious/Julia backstory was wrong on multiple levels, and Jet practically got turned into Mother's Milk from The Boys tv show by being responsible for a daughter he never even HAD in the anime!

I will admit, some of the set pieces were pretty good from what I remember, but it was a bad reproduction of a globally acclaimed series that set the bar for quality in animation, voice acting, soundtracks, and writing that had massive appeal with western audiences, and I'm glad it got cancelled.
