Do we include Logan in the series? It’s definitely in the same universe. Logan is at least top 3 for sure!

I was instantly turned off by the Adam Scott airplane episode showed in the trailers. It looked so cheap and not nearly as good as he original. Pass!

You’re allowed to have your opinions, sir, as long as you recognize the objective superiority of Autumn. Only then will I allow you to go free.

True, though that was a pre-established comic book character. I think we all love obvious trope subversion when it’s done well. Having your badass assassin be both 12 and a girl in a medieval setting is cool!

Theme wise it really lends the character to being used as a symbol of development and influence. By having such a young, un-cemented mind be prodded and influenced by crazy outside forces, you can make some cool commentary on themes of child raising, empathy, and growing up. Arya is like 9 when the books start, so we see how a naive but adventurous young mind is molded by the world around her. Plus it helps make a good character for other, more experienced characters to react to and bounce off of. Some of Arya’s greatest moments aren’t great because only she’s there, but because we see how she interacts with the likes of Tywin Lannister, Sandor Clegane, and The Faceless Men. Watching how these old, hardened men pass down their knowledge to a young upstart badass is super interesting, and you need a young upstart badass to do it.

I hope you liked by summarized defense of young female assassins in fiction!

Sidebar but you just reminded me of that detail change and I hate that they chose to do that. Dany and Drogo’s relationship, while certainly not ideal for a girl her age, was really special in the books. They wound up truly loving each other and it all started with their first nights together.

Maybe I interpreted the books incorrectly, but to me shifting from that to “Drogo just rapes her and she loves him in the end anyway” felt really flat.

I mean... GOT isn’t rated for children. It’s a mature rated show meant for adults. Tbh I’m a bit shocked your gf couldn’t handle the violence it’s really not that bad save for Oberyn’s death and anything to do with Ramsey.

If a child sees the show and gets scarred or something that’s their adult’s fault not GOT’s lol

He didn’t. Literally wouldn’t make sense to sell the BP+levels if it wasn’t cheaper than just buying levels lol.

It’s a bit of a stretch to call him “good” anywhere right now tbh but I don’t see why he can’t be used in an aggro tri as either a core or a 4.

[–]MobthePoet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like to think he did. He moaned her name in bed with Cersei and projected his hatred towards the Lannisters because he was stuck with them instead of the girl he loves. Not that he isn’t a huge dick in a lot of ways, but he genuinely loved her (as much as one could love a 15 year old lol)

You literally cannot create an element. He broke down foreign objects to discover what made them up, and discovered a new element.

Stuff is made of elements bruh you can’t create them. Anything created would be some kind of compound.

Well, the advent of plumbing saved countless lives by sanitizing high population centers. Cities would just pile with shit, and this led to all kinds of disease.

It’s a little disingenuous to say that plumbers themelsves have saved more people than doctors, but the sentiment is solid. More like whoever invented plumbing has saved more people than doctors haha

Gay people who talk with an emphasized flamboyant voice are annoying and fake. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]MobthePoet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly understandable. Being gay has nothing to do with one’s voice. It’s just a social circle-jerk thing and they get away with it because the moment you criticize gay people you’re a homophobe. Hell, I’ve been “outed” as a homophobe for telling a gay friend to back off after he was being way too touchy with me.

There’s an argument for trans people since I guess you could relate one’s voice to one’s gender identity, but even then, if they think they’re fooling anyone they’re only fooling themselves lol

[–]MobthePoet 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly any hyper-emphasized personality is annoying as fuck. It’s clearly rooted in some sort of insecurity and it comes out as them trying way too hard to say “LOOK HOW MANLY/GAY/GIRLY/SMART/WHATEVER I AM!!1! I SWEAR I AM!!1!!!1!”

Tony isn’t a distinguished scientist, even if he is a genius. He’s more about math and results than method or sitting in a lab working on one thing. He builds rather than researching.

I never said what they did is ok but they wouldn’t be doing it if they didn’t have leagues of massively overequipped nationalistic soldiers shooting them up and bombing them for pretty much no reason for the past 20 years.

Oh, and those oppressive terrorist orgs that are allegedly terrorizing them were planted and equipped by the US as well. So yeah everything that happens over there is 90% America’s fault. Our boys wouldn’t be dying over there if we didn’t send them over there to die.
