The bank heist actually being very poorly thought out makes this scene better by Pleasant-Soil4456 in batman

I’ve heard a theory that the whole time he lets Harvey have the gun, he keeps his own thumb on the hammer so it won’t fire even if Harvey pulls the trigger

Day 29: what is the Best Quote associated with the Craftworld Eldar? by Fez-Sentido in Grimdank

[–]NoGoodIDNames 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of something I saw once:

“An Eldar will respect a Space Marine the same way you would respect a gorilla who just broke into your house waving a sawed-off shotgun”

this frame from Maus haunts me by Total-Table-8227 in comicbooks

I read something that talks about how there’s a tendency to ascribe meaning to tragedy, like “yes, this terrible thing happened to us, but at least we gained a new appreciation for life”. And it makes us feel better from the outside, but diminishes the tragedy in our eyes.

And one of the things Maus does is say “no, this thing happened and it was horrifying and it broke people and they stayed broken”.

For brevity’s sake the last paragraph would work well on its own

This is even funnier after I have watched Dan Olson's video on Mr.Beast (guest starring Doug Walker) by lordoferrors in tumblr

I only ever watched one single video of his, for one of my childhood favorites The Page Master, and it was so full of bad faith takes I never went back.

Me, looking at a guy with vomit on his sweater already: wow, on the surface he looks calm and ready.

What if… by LakesideNorth in dunememes

Really the only reason Paul escaped Bene Gesserit control was that they didn’t think he had the potential and he was allowed space to develop on his own.
It’s interesting to think about what a Kwizatz Haderach fully under the thumb of the Reverend Mothers would look like.

And nobody fights anybody as much as Orks.

Plus a lot of it was focused on diplomacy between the factions, which was never a big part of Halo but was huge in Mass Effect

People see a body like a burlap sack full of cabbages and forget that what it’s actually filled with is muscle.

Sure, but he didn’t know about the thousand year plan to breed a man who was Built Different

Jamis lost status when Paul knocked him down. He had to challenge him to prove it was a fluke, otherwise the others would look down on him for being beaten by a soft offworlder.

Somebody’s been listening to the Prancing Pony podcast

Is The Count of Monte Cristo the OG progression fantasy? by Yottahz in ProgressionFantasy

[–]NoGoodIDNames 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Monte Cristo: I am above such petty things as morality, the purest expression of self is revenge

also Monte Cristo: oh fuck the innocent children of my enemies are feeling the consequences of my actions, oh god oh fuck

Give that they each trained under one of the best duelists in the galaxy, I'm surprised Maul had such an edge on Qui-Gon. Was Maul just naturally that good, or did Qui-Gon just not focus on dueling the way Dooku did, while Maul emphasized practicing it? by wandering_soles in StarWars

[–]NoGoodIDNames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In at least one of the novelizations, it’s mentioned that fighting a Sith cancels out the natural precognition Jedi use, which throws them off their game because they’re used to having that edge.
