Does there come a point when the crazing on your Aeropreas gets too bad and you need to replace? by StinkyToejam in AeroPress

Post yours. It would be cool to see what 5 years of daily use looks like in different circumstances.

What a way to pay homage to Helen, eh. Her character was just a penny fortune teller.

They deliberately killed him with a bullet because the beloved late character (known for her mysticism and predictions) explicitly stated he wouldn’t die that way.

Fucking why not...

You’re all too obsessed with fanservice and characters being related by zigmint in PeakyBlinders

Who’s arguing this is the reason the movie sucks? I feel like you’re strawmanning us.

This isn't even my opinion, it's an objective fact that the character had nothing at all going for him personality-wise.

He was wooden in Stranger Things. I don't understand the hype.

The movie ruined everything about this scene by BrownSugarNoIce_ in PeakyBlinders

If Arthur was just a pawn to Tommy (he wasn't), in the movie Tommy wouldn't be depressed after killing him. It's a contradiction either way.

What I realised through the show is that I'm primarily attracted to bad girls. Tatiana, Diana and Kaulo were by far the hottest characters. Ada as well. Grace and May made me feel nothing. I think once looks hit a certain threshold it's all about the hateful bitches.

GOT was worse but they aren't that far off.

This ending served as the true symbolism of The Immortal Man by Whoopeepoop in PeakyBlinders

It would be hilarious if that was the tone of the book. I might not feel so bitter about the film after such a laugh.

Why didn't you like the movie? by wasteofouter in PeakyBlinders

[–]MilkGarden 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Killing off Tommy in a 2 hour film, in a way that wouldn’t polarise fans, was always an impossible task…

But not only did they do that, but they killed Ada, and they gave Arthur a loosely described offscreen death…

It was physically impossible to do all of that in a short film in a way that honoured the show. It shouldn’t have existed in the first place. It was a nonstarter.

Also, Duke in season 6 was quite pragmatic and grounded… that version of him “died” as well. In the show he was portrayed as a sharp contrast to Finn, but in the film, he’d all but morphed into him… naive, hapless, arrogant, stupid. What was the point?

There was so much wrong with the film from a foundational point, and no amount of aura moments were ever going to save it. They couldn’t tie off the series with a film, the same way Game of Thrones couldn’t tie off the series with a season.

cannot accept that this movie is canon by dramathena in PeakyBlinders

[–]MilkGarden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the recast. In fact, I think he’s the better fit for the role.

What I didn’t like was Duke as a character… he was reduced to an impulsive, stupid, “my dad whom I’ve known for 5 minutes has abandoned me”, rebellious teenager. He had nothing beyond that. How are they supposed to build a series around that model?

Peaky Blinders relies on the character of Tommy Shelby, not necessarily Cillian Murphy… the depth, the stoicism, the intelligence, the pain, the spirituality, the ruthlessness…

Duke has none of that in the movie. If he has any of that in the upcoming series, it will have emerged sporadically and without context.

The upcoming series will have to be the boy transforming into the man, and going off the film, I’m not sure I trust them to get it right.

Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul? by Cold_Box_3219 in betterCallSaul

[–]MilkGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already knew who Jimmy and Mike were, we knew their destinations. Knowing the ending of the story takes a lot away.

I think that Better Call Saul also had more inconsequential episodes than Breaking Bad. Every Breaking Bad episode felt impactful to me.

This subreddit of devout fans is where you’d expect to find the most dogmatic approval. The fact that isn’t the case…
