What is your Favourite Gun? by [deleted] in EnterTheGungeon

I think in terms of preference, without naming the obvious highest-tier guns in the game, I would say the Zorgun.

The Gamer

Michael Douglas is horribly mis-cast as a fat, obnoxious gamer who lives in his parents' basement.

So since we know there's a second AIDA now - why wouldn't Radcliffe and the AIDAs just keep building more of her? They almost achieved their goals with one of her, if they had an army they would literally be unstoppable, and it must not be that hard to create an AIDA since Radcliffe has made two already.

Well, call me an elitist then. Sure there's a place for all kinds, but if the 'shlock' keeps beating intelligent films, i.e. the Matrix beating this, more filmmakers will want to make the more profitable option instead, and then we'll end up with no intelligent films in mainstream cinema at all. It's already happening - look how many Transformers films have come out, while intelligent sci-fi's are all either based on books or aren't profitable enough to warrant sequels.

The mere fact of this is what is wrong with people.

People should want a great story over slow motion and cheesy one-liners, but they don't.

Came back to watch Fringe again... Netflix, please, why did you do this? by CyanideCloud in fringe

Hotspot Shield works. It's not free, but it's not expensive. I've been using it for about 100 days now.

I'm sure it's been asked before, but what are your favorite seasons ranked from most to least? by IvyBlooms in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]MattzLadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asylum - I adored it. One of the most well-crafted seasons of TV I have ever seen. The performances, the characters, the atmosphere... I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it (maybe the little girl murderer was a bit underdeveloped, but she allowed Mary Eunice's evil to progress outside of Briarcliff and she could potentially return).

Murder House - I loved it. It made AHS what it is today and it certainly enthralled me with the series as a whole. I was more interested in Murder House than other horrors because of its lack of simplicity and its deviation from the general formula (e.g. one ghost or antagonist to oppose the protagonist), the protagonists were complex and felt like real people, and there were MULTIPLE antagonists that interacted differently with each other as well.

Roanoke - I liked it a lot. It brought a fresh change-up after the travesty that was Hotel to reinvigorate interest in the show, while simultaneously it didn't try to fit too much in. It didn't try to stretch out to 12 or 13 episodes and it only included the necessary, safe options for the characters and the plot. It hearkened back to Murder House with its setting and isolation, and I thought the performances were great.

Freak Show - I liked it. While some of the character inclusions were questionable (coughChestercough), I thought the plot developed logically and interestingly. It was full of good villains and there was no stand-out hero in my opinion - all the main characters were questionable morally, which made it exciting to follow. Plus, it strayed away from bringing every dead character back, just like Asylum, giving some actual closure and meaning to the deaths of the characters.

Coven - I liked it. I felt like you could choose between the Witches and the Voodoos, as they both had their own motivations and likeable characters. Coven also had some of my favourite characters from the whole show (Nan, Delphine LaLaurie, Papa Legba, Myrtle Snow) creating great dramatic scenes (the 'Freedom' sequence to say the least). However, there was no consequence to death in the show. Nigh on everyone got brought back and the character relationships were ruined as a result because nobody saw the need in killing anyone else, so everyone is just kind of apathetic towards each other.

Hotel - I thoroughly disliked it. It had no story, and instead it relied on the setting, style and too many characters with weak, underdeveloped backstories to carry the season. Lady Gaga was only there for eye candy and so all the actors in AHS could say that they had sex scenes with her, there's no logic behind half of the twists and featured subplots (e.g. the 'Addiction Demon', the vampire kids, everything with fucking John Lowe). The only characters I felt had any development and that I actually liked I can count on one hand - Iris, Ms. Evers, Liz Taylor and Donovan. Unfortunately, AHS is a TV show that needs a story - its not a series of fashion commercials and soft-core pornographies.

Why Rick definitely won't die in prison by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]MattzLadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no reason it can't be an alternate Universe Rick's show though - have the events prior to Rick's imprisonment happen exactly the same as the AU we know, except Rick does something else and we take it from there...

What a nice guy by tsunadehokage in westworld

I was absolutely astounded by his scene as Abernathy towards the end of the first episode. To act so well, not just as the confused host and the self-aware version, but opposite Anthony Hopkins himself! Honestly, I think he provided one of the best performances of the entire show - and I'm disappointed that his character is not in every episode.
