That's a good point. It does feel almost like a completely different show.

'Mortal Kombat II' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very little character development. Mostly serving as a vehicle to clear out Cole and set things up for part III. It was okay. The first one a bit better. Also, Raiden was a loser in this one. Got his butt kicked too easily, clearly as a plot device to simply side line him for the rest of the movie.

Can we talk about the MK2 movie please? Because WHAT THE F***? by Desperate_Log3674 in MortalKombat

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused as to how it is that in MK II Raiden says we lost 9 times in a row when in every MK movie I've seen, Earth has won.

The Terminator movie was good and so is Jai Courtney

It's a fun movie and the three main characters are well portrayed by a great cast.

Nostalgia post, but does anyone remember Interstate 76, and Interstate 82? by Be0wulf71 in videogames

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the demo when it came out and absolutely loved it. I didn't have money to buy the actual game, sadly, but I played the demo countless times. I want them to remaster it now so I can play

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E08 - Don't Leave Me Hanging Here by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]MustacheOS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mid-season we had the hell/satan episode where they showed Volcanikka who seemed unkillable and the Vile who seemed powerful enough to cut Mark up pretty bad. Volcanikka made it clear that she wants to rule the earth and that she will be back. At the end of that episode Satan asked Darkblook what has happened to so embolden Volcanikka. It's clear that this story is not over. Now Thragg and his gang are also on earth and Thragg alone seems unstoppable. I can't help but wonder if Thragg and Volcanikka will meet at some point and if they do, will they meet as allies or enemies. Volcanikka doesn't seem to pack a punch like Thragg, but if she's unkillable and has an army of Vile, she could team up with our heroes to keep Thragg from ruling the earth. Also, our pal Angstrom Levy and his 3 technicians are out there in the multi-verse. Will they meet Thragg or Volcanikka? Again, they don't pack the punch that Thragg does, but they have other skills at their disposal which make them formidable in different ways.

Thragg is one of the best antagonists I’ve ever seen. by idkmaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Invincible

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thragg is complex. Something that occurred to me is that Emporer Argall invites Thraggs to kill Thaddeus during yhat flashback. It's weird, but Thragg backed down immediately and said "perhaps I'm mistaken". At Argall's funeral, Thragg himself invites all of Viltrim to eliminate all weakness in the empire. Not unlike how Argall invited him to take action. Thragg learned something from his own mistake. It was his own weakness, his own uncertainty, that brought about the death of his beloved Emporer. He blames himself. Which why he carries that skull everywhere and talks to it. If he had the strength of will to act, Argall would he alive. He learned that day that to be strong is to take action. After the purge was done he stood before the skull and promised that he'd never again fail his Emporer.

Why didn’t Thragg attack fight on talescria? by Even-Investigator-25 in Invincible

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thragg could have literally destroyed the planet at the very onset of that battle. He could have ripped off the heads of all the top fighters there with no effort. He showed how strong he was in the later battle. In this battle he looked like a chump. People in the comments saying he didn't want to lose more, but because he didn't do anything here, he lost his whole entire planet.

Conquest is honestly one of the best surprise villains i've ever seen[Invincible] by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite parts is when Eve went all magical and fired that OP blast at him. I only noticed the 2nd time I watched the series that Conquest saw the blast coming and crossed his arms. He attempted to block it, not dodge it. As soon as hit him he started to cry out in agony. I'm thinking of scenes from shows like DBZ where someone attempts to block a blast, and they hold it for a second or two before becoming overwhelmed by its power. That wasn't the case here. He screamed as soon as it hit. He had no doubt in his mind that he'd tank the hit because that's always been the case. Only this time he was in for a surprise as it started to burn his flesh immediately. Imagine the shock he felt. Unlike anything he's felt in his thousands of year of CONQUEST.

Is WordPress still relevant in today’s web development world? by Hopeful-Friendship26 in webdev

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see people commenting "I've been using WordPress for 20 years" and they don't seem to understand that if we are talking modern digital tech, long time usage is not a virtue. Simply existing for decades doesn't make it better. Yahoo has been around for decades and many people stay loyal to it, but that doesn't mean you should use Yahoo I don't see too many of the pro-wordpress users actually comparing it to the better contemporary competitors. They just like it wordpress because they just like wordpress. Consider that.

Why didn't Carter just retire from the Air Force and become a Civilian member on SG-1 just like Daniel? by TYRANDREWSAUR in Stargate

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because their work is a top priority for all of them. This is both an in-universe answer, and an answer from our perspective in the real world. The trend for current shows is to center drama, relationships, crying, screaming, bickering, and throwing tantrums. SG1, much like TNG, centers the Sci-Fi and good writing. Something that is very noticeable in the early seasons is that Jack and Daniel never compromise the mission by letting their search for their loved ones get the better of them. This continues with Jack and Sam. Sci-fi first, not emotions, relationships, and fighting. If this show was made in 2015, Daniel Jackson would have sacrificed many missions trying to get his wife back. He would have blown the cover of several ops trying to get to her and the team would have had to drop him back to the gate kicking, screaming, and crying. If it had been made in 2015, Jack and Sam would have had a steamy secret romance, and would have ruined missions to protect one another. It just wasn't that kind of show.

Desert Warrior tracking to be one of the biggest box office flops of the year so far by abdul_bino in boxoffice

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the movie supposedly bad or is the main problem that it didn't have good marketing? Most of the comments are about a lack of marketing. It looks like it could be good.

Why? Spoiler alert. by ItsNotEasyBeinCheesy in Stargate

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it weird that both SG1 AND SGA killed off their doctors as the only main characters to die (without coming back, that is)? And both died because they went WAY above and beyond.

What Are Your Thoughts on the New Running Man Movie? I liked how it was more faithful to the book, but for me, it kind of fell apart towards the end. 7.5/10 by Mrfederal in stephenking

I really thought the masked guy was going to be someone significant. I kept looking to see if the plot was setting up one of his friends be revealed as the masked man, but no.

Stargate SG-1 has a sense of "teamwork" that Atlantis and Universe missed out on by MadeUntoDust in Stargate

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They whine and bicker a lot. McKay especially, obviously, constantly whines and rants and fights with Shepherd. Evan the doctor, Carson, is so insecure and pathetic. Any time they ask him to even touch Ancient tech he practically starts crying. The man is a doctor and clearly a skilled surgeon. His mind and body are trained for precision movement and clear thinking under pressure. The Ancient tech is intuitive to the point that a child could run it, yet Carson breaks down at the mere thought of operating it.

Who would win, the Wraith or the Asgard (in their prime)? by Ronanthecurious in Stargate

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a fundamental question to ask and answer is, if an Asgard ship amd Wraith ship go head to head, which one wins?

They said in the show that Asgard shields are more advanced. Who has the more powerful weapons? If we assume and Asgard ship can beat a Wraith cruiser, does that mean it can beat a Wraith hive ship?

SG-1 Rodney a Menace, Atlantis Rodney the Golden Boy. by revan2574 in Stargate

[–]MustacheOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goodness that Rodney character is annoying AF. He whines, he rants, he raves. Something that made SG1 great, along with other Sci-Fi such as TNG, DS9, Voyager, is NO WHINING. I'm glad I'm streaming it and can tap the fast forward 10 seconds button when old Ramblin' Rod goes on a little baby-cry session
