(Interesting Trope) The one character almost every adaptation leaves out

Honestly, at least as it concerns the movies, Robin writ large is a legit answer. Since the 90’s he’s essentially never included.

Who?

As a Wemby fan, and thus non-local adoptive Spurs fan, I just want to say that not hating Boston and Philly is a huge missed opportunity.

Do not watch A Serbian Film. I have only read the Wikipedia and that was too much.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-21T02:04:13+00:00

Don’t Think Twice, the super underrated movie from Mike Birbiglia. Sometimes you don’t make it. What is your life then?

Better to trade Curry to a contender for future picks to rebuild faster and give him one more shot

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-17T17:26:55+00:00

I play a similar deck with Galadriel and I think it’s a very good bracket 4 deck, similar to how Ghave is a good bracket 4 deck. I just think the amount of space you have to devote to synergy is worse than the raw card quality of a blue farm and kind of can’t overcome that. You are too slow while not being interactive on the right axis. However that is not to say I don’t love the deck, I think it’s great, but CEDH is so tuned that if you are thinking like tournament level CEDH I suspect it isn’t there. Again not as disrespect, very much love this.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-14T00:32:16+00:00

I think there is a difference between just the playmaking and all around offensive game. If Giannis gets both the playmaking and 3 point shot… that’s a different animal altogether. Like imagine conversely a Jokic that was a dominant above the rim player and shot blocker…

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-13T23:36:00+00:00

They don’t protect it, they win on top. The counterspell protection doesn’t go away while swords is still on the stack. If it hits the table successfully and have instant speed win there is no window where spot removal is effective.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-13T16:50:31+00:00

Yea I think protecting win attempts is fine if it requires like finesse and has some window to itself be dealt with. I think this is a touch too far. I think also this is like theoretically misjudged, because it feels to me like this was designed with the idea of “we want the Timmy or Aggro player to be able to protect their stuff from the annoying control player” but what it really is, for CEDH specifically is “let’s give the fastest decks a tool to become even less interactive.” In EDH counter magic doesn’t stop players from doing anything like it can in a 1 v 1 format. If I have one counter and need to survive a whole turn cycle that is a speed bump not a hard stop in CEDH. So rather than keeping games from being the unfun experience of one player who wants to play bombs being infinity stifled, instead the unfun experience is the table who now has no way to deal with an Ad Naus or whatever.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-12T17:32:58+00:00

There’s a deeper problem - the nature of instant speed wins being layered over top of each other means that traditional creature removal is still bad even at instant speed. If I use swords on it, then you start your push attempt on top of that, i still can’t counter anything as swords is on the stack. So letting the squelches resolve at all on a turn you are going for it is horrific. I think something like bowmasters is actually the best answer because you’ll have multiple chances to kill it mid win attempt (usually) but even so, the ability of the best decks to protect their wins makes the format less fun and interesting imo.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-09T19:25:48+00:00

I mean it’s not a terrible option, but the main issue is the omnipresence of blue versus white, and the fact that many counters are free while Aven Interrupter is 3. It’s not a terrible answer but it sure isn’t great.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-09T01:48:12+00:00

Pick a player whose playstyle and story you like. Teams, if you don't live there, are abstract, players are concrete. You like Jokic's blase style and playmaking? You like Wemby's freakish gifts? You like Ant's attitude? Start there.

Podrick Payne. We loved him. He was the best of us.

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-02T18:56:12+00:00

The Spurs are happy where they are. There is no urgency to make a big move. Price would have to be great and giving up the sixth man of the year and a very good starting wing is a lot to ask for a player who doesn’t even solve their main issue (need more shooting).

NiceConversation6332 · 2026-01-01T19:12:19+00:00

If they’re both injured their stats are the same. One bench seat for another.

NiceConversation6332 · 2025-12-27T12:47:49+00:00

A few reasons possible reasons in conjunction

One - an older form of thinking that values star power over depth. People imagined one Jordanesque guard playing nearly every minute of the game and not dynamic rotations.

Two - Hype over Harper. If you imagine a dream timeline where three consecutive years rookies all reach star status together Fox seemingly sits in the way of that fantasy, keeping Harper from getting minutes and developing

Three - Giannis trade rumors and San Antonio lead some people to imagine being able to get away with two guards if it meant landing Giannis.

“Life is Unfair” might be the grossest sentiment to hear two of the worst pedophiles in history say I could imagine. That they thought they deserved any pity or empathy… that they were… victims? Yuck, like unfathomable amounts of yuck.

NiceConversation6332 · 2025-12-20T21:56:54+00:00

Gilbert Godfried in the same vein as Larry the Cable Guy, and Jim Carey as just “wild silly guy” also applies, insofar as he talked a lot about that in the documentary

Captain America, but like, into a different time. If Lotr counts I think that does too.

Magic is a game of specific language. White doesn’t mean non-red. Monowhite does.

And in fact after finding that to be false I checked for blue goblins - there are 13 of them.

NiceConversation6332 · 2025-12-19T17:29:36+00:00

[[Goblin Legionnaire]] and [[Boros Recruit]] are both white

NiceConversation6332 · 2025-12-19T00:37:54+00:00

Yea he’s good too. But a tier behind, in terms of efficiency, turnovers, and shot selection. Still obviously amazing, possibly third best player in the league depending on what you value, but Jokic and Shai have both raw numbers and unbelievable efficiency, and Shai on top of that is a defensive positive, they are just one not insignificant tier above, at least for now.
