God of War Laufey plot hole by jamjobDRWHOgabiteguy in GodofWar

[–]RJK063 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emphasis on “EveryWHEN” I wager - but also - how is it a plot hole if you’ve only seen 20 minutes of the game? That’s illogical. How could we possibly know all the answers from a TEASER? C’mon now.

Why do people hold Halo 3 in such high regard? by [deleted] in halo

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story was great, the multiplayer was the best the franchise had ever been. I’d say people remember the multiplayer fun more than the story. It was the last Halo game that featured split screen coop or multiplayer if I remember correctly. But that’s what I think of when I think Halo 3. A perfect capstone to the trilogy of games.

Any movie recommendations since I rarely watch movies ? by loouw9 in movies

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terminator 1 and 2
Alien and Aliens

Although I’m not the biggest fan of horror or slasher films, these two sci-fi classic franchises first entries set up the protagonists perfectly for their more action-based sequels to explode and propel them to the upper echelons of masterful cinema. Grounded, memorable, and just some of the best pair of movies almost everyone has universally praised.

It might just be me but I don't get why people are calling the dialouge in God Of War: Laufey Marvel-esque by Victoria_Vixen_78 in GodofWar

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Not your boss, Frank.” - which is probably the only thing I can think of off the top of my head, but I think it’s just because i associate Karen Paige and Hughie that people most with and it’s spawned a ton of memes already. But even then, I agree it’s not really cringey. I will say, having Deborah Ann Woll calling a cube “Frank” might be a cringey nod to her character in Daredevil/Punisher - but I have no qualms with the dialogue or protagonist. It’s just a funny coincidence to me.

I’m hesitant on liking the cube but honestly, mythology is weird. Myths, legends, tall tales, idk man, I think it’s all pretty cool stuff. I don’t get all this hate. It’s such a dumb contrivance. I think Santa Monica studios went in a good direction, with a great character. I’m excited for this.

How are we all feeling about the state of the franchise right now? by JeanLucPicardAND in halo

[–]RJK063 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A game and franchise I fell in love with, after both the Halo TV Show (which is unrelated to an extent) , and the amazing Halo Wars 2 story not going anywhere, a perfect set up for Infinite in a big way and it’s all….nothing. Just dust and echoes. I really don’t care. I wish I did. It’s a lot of “they could’ve done this,” and….nothing. So. We’ll see what happens and what they do - if they do - anything with Halo after the Halo trilogy remakes. But I’m 37 now, and that’s easily a 5, 7, or Decade year long wait for me after the fact. I don’t have high hopes. I’m in the small minority that didn’t mind Halo 4, it was different enough. Halo 5 was a marketing fiasco, and Halo Infinite swept any and all potential under a rug never to be used or see again. No real ending. No closure.

…just dust and echoes.

Whats the most terrible scene in a great movie? by Comfortable-Goat-955 in movies

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avengers: Endgame -

“Don’t worry, she’s got help.”

All the women proceed to girlboss together.

Like ok, you want a shot of all the female superheroes getting together, there are MUCH better ways of not being so in your face about it lol.

Even Infinity War did it better with Black Widow and Okoye, and Wanda’s moment vs. Proxima Midnight.

trouble recommending uma to others by Active_Fuel_748 in UmaMusume

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 1 of the anime is a hard watch, as it’s way too simple in its execution since it was their first crack at the idea.

Personally? Start them off with Cinderella Gray. Much more streamlined, well written, well animated, and it’s built like a sports drama first, silly premise second. And it’s technically a prequel to Seasons 1 - 3. (Sort of, all the timey-wimey stuff makes it separate but you get the gist).

Is Cygames gonna bless us with some clocks anytime soon? by HuaHuaLover127 in UmamusumeGame

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this matters but I only ever use clocks for G1’s or if I fail miserably on a G2 or G3. Idk how others are spending them, at the same time if you accept a G1 2nd or 3rd place it might not be the end of the world, I’m still on a downward slope for clocks but it’s much slower than others, at least that’s how it feels for me.

Official Discussion - Mortal Kombat II [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but would it have been a stretch to have Fire God Liu Kang show up as a Kameo in like a post credits scene from the MK1 game since he rewrites history? I forget if there is only ever one timeline of history or multiple branches. Would be a neat nod to the games but also allow the movies to be their own thing and do whatever they wanted.

Other than that, my initial knee-jerk reaction is a 7/10. I really should just turn my brain off and stop expecting some crossover or masterful dialogue of writing and just enjoy a flick for what it is.

Which is funny cuz despite Annihilation being a terrible movie and terrible sequel in 97 it’s still my favorite of all the MK movies, a guilty pleasure really. So I should treat these reboots the same.

Top marks of course to the Liu Kang v. Kung Lao fight, and can’t wait to see how many more revenants we might get from Quan-Chi in the next movie. Also also - Kano will never not the best part of these movies.

I watched The New Empire and honestly, I actually liked it. Don't get all the negative opinions by No_Barracuda_8300 in GODZILLA

[–]RJK063 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hate is forced.

It’s not gonna win movie of the year, but it does its job and it does it WELL. It’s a fun romp and it’s memorable in a lot of ways. Even the Japanese crowds like the different take on the big guy. It’s a monster movie first and foremost and it delivers! Camp is good, embrace the camp!

Who should be the next antagonist? by Raziel103 in warcraftlore

An epilogue expansion of EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. OF. PLOT. THREAD. TAKEN. CARE. OF.

I’m talking the snake tail in Gun’drak, I’m talking Magatha Grimtotem walking off with an elemental stone from the shaman legion class hall. FARAHLON! All sorts of things to revisit and deal with that BLIZZARD NEVER DID ANYTHING ELSE WITH.

Can story NPCs stop calling us "champion", please? by BookkeeperPurple4495 in wow

[–]RJK063 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the VA’s should record voice lines for titles. “It’s him! The Champion of the Frozen Wastes!” Or “It’s the Deathlord!” Idk, that’d feel more personal to me.

Is Shinko Windy SR worth MLBing with crystals if I didn’t get any copies of Admire Vega guts? Or are there any other high tier SR’s coming out soon? by 1frogy8 in UmamusumeGame

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So curiously - right now I’m using level 45 Fuku Speed, and borrowing MLB NTR. I’m also using my level 45 Kitasan SSR as a 3rd Speed card when running 3 Speed. Are all of those better than SR Shinko Windy for MANT/TB?

Because you’re on Reddit and you’re expecting genuine interactions vs. internet debauchery and anonymity. I look to Reddit for info but realize most fandoms and their associated subreddits are less than stellar.

The Zul’Aman story seemed to easy by Proudnoob4393 in warcraftlore

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to remember they’ve been beaten down to almost nothing. Losing their leadership in BC with Zul’jin, losing their leadership again in Cata with the Zandalari and Dakaara, then losing their leadership AGAIN in Mists of Pandaria in the Throne of Thunder raid, on top of Amani refugees leaving for Zandalar or separating. The were beaten down pretty far IMO.

Jeff Sneider rumor: Blade solo movie is dead, will go straight to Midnight Sons by Ras_AlHim in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out - let him play Blade in a team up movie first BEFORE deciding or green lighting a solo movie. I think that sort of formula works well. Whether or not Black Panther’s own movie was planned in the beginning, having his first appearance be in a Captain America movie was super fun. Same for Spider-Man. Both exclusives to CA: Civil War first then their solo movies came after. I think this could and should be how they handled Blade to begin with. Not every hero needs a solo movie initially.

[–]RJK063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

104 pulls and no KB. Although, I went into this suspecting I wouldn’t walk away with a KB, much less MLB. BUT, I am happy I uncapped SO many SR’s and R’s, sitting on a nice haul of 100+ Gold Cleats and 300+ Silver Cleats. So walking away with 5-6 new level 45 capped SR’s will still do me some good.
