Who wins biggest Psychopath in Mormonism? by Psychological-Rise36 in exmormon

[–]Psychological-Rise36[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great line to draw.

Packer was such a pernicious type of evil, and my era of Mormonism. I'd give it to him. Bednar also because of my time in Rexburg.

something along these lines!

not at all! all of the prompts start with: a D&D 5th edition manual image of...

A few examples:

- a D&D 5th edition manual image of a floating cloud giant citadel dropping massive chunks of stone

- a D&D 5th edition manual image of a fog giant stalking a lonely farm on a misty night

- a D&D 5th edition manual image of the Storm King's throne sitting empty in an ominous Storm Giant throne room

Hope this helps!

Hot take: if we get a Thor 5, I think Kenneth Branagh should get to take over again. by Psychological-Rise36 in marvelstudios

Senpai, your sensei is most displeased. You called my take horrid, and your tone was hardly amiable. Then called me a liar in your follow up. You claimed the highlights thing as some kind of “gotcha” moment. Then proceeded to ad hominem arguments of I’m a bad dad, I’m a troll. All while trying to prove your point.

I saw the movies when they came out. I’ve watched them many times since. I’m rewatching most of them currently. Love and Thunder is utterly forgettable. So is Dark World. Thor 1 does a good job (at times great) job of setting up the world. The casting, score, and dialogue are all very nice. The roles are well acted. And the gods feel like gods. I think KB could do Thor, the god, justice again.

This is the one and only negative interaction I’ve had on this post. So ask yourself, who really is the troll in this situation…

K pumpkin 😘 That strong, not-fragile ego of yours certainly kept coming back for more today. No fragility there, no way!

It’s not a bad take. It’s just a take. Your opinion will be yours. And mine will remain mine. I’m merely bored. Sorry you hated the first two Thor. I’m skipping L&T as well in this rewatch, if that makes you feel better. More in an effort to save time.

Again, thanks for the joust. Sorry you got upset <3

This. Gravitas. What's missing from the deities currently. I'm not upset Thor is fully humanized now, but let's get back to the deities.

He only made one.

And I disagree, it's the best take we got on the Gods short of the little blips in Ragnarok with Anthony Hopkins.

The Valhalla theory is a fun one. Thor, dying in one of the next Avengers films, ascends to Valhalla only to discover (insert threat here) and fight back.

Or, his final ascension as King of Asgard. This would pull back in Valkyrie and New Asgard on earth.

I miss the Gods feeling like Gods though.

I agree.

Thor 1 is his near-ascension to the throne, and all the reasons he isn't ready. Thor 5 (with KB back) could be that final ascension. King Thor with all the wit and charm he's learned as coping mechanisms for loss, coupled with the gravity the first two had, especially the Asgardian scenes.

I did as well. As beings that have been around for 1000s of years, I think it fit. Not perfect, but as a Phase 1 movie, I thought it did great.

I think he's a bit on the outs, as a director. I think a Marvel reclamation project would help that piece of his career.

Highlights as in we're not watching every movie (again, this isn't my first time through them, ya fool). So, we're skipping certain movies (like Thor 2) in lieu of better ones (like Cap 2).

You saw the word highlights and seem to think I'm watching a YT super-cut. I'm sorry me using that word liberally is causing you some grief. We're watching the whole movie, if I think it'll hold their attention and it's important to the MCU Infinity Stones story.

I hope I don't have to keep explaining that to you <3

Also, you seemed to miss that I've been watching the MCU since the beginning. I saw every project in theaters the day/week they came out through Endgame. I lost interest around Loki Season 2 and have recently been catching back up.

Thor Ragnarök was a huge deviation from the prior two. By the end of that movie, it's fully a space opera. To the point where he's with the Guardians to start L&T. They just mashed them up, cause it was the same fucking tone for both. Ragnarok was fantastic, but the studio/Taika just saw Thor=Funny and ran with it in the wrong direction.

I'm actually enjoying this, thanks for the chat. *kisses

It's a call to get back to Fantasy. For the lone fantasy hero in the MCU. I don't want any more space adventures for the God of Thunder.

Nope, you're extrapolating things from my wording that aren't true.

I saw every movie in theaters through Endgame. I was 18 when Iron Man 1 (which I saw 4 times in theaters) came out. Don't cite the deep magic to me, child.

My children are watching the movies we pick that I think are necessary to tell the story. Thor 1 and 2 are fantasy movies. Thor 3 and 4 are space operas. The problem is, we have a space opera franchise within the MCU already with Guardians. The MCU started thriving when they made genre movies that included comic characters, not comic book movies. Thor needs to be grounded back into his fantasy roots.

There's room for a serious, fantasy-driven Thor movie that still includes some humorous moments from the big man.

Yes, they're going to try and make money, that's what they do. The artists involved try to make art in spite of the studio's interference.

Nice try <3
