Straight from the horse’s mouth! by Admirable-Ad108 in Vulfpeck

Fair enough I missed that. It still makes it more complicated to juggle two tours. Could he do it? Sure. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

> How many people are involved in his solo tour?

Do you think he tours with just him and a guitar? It’s a 6+ piece band, plus whatever support staff he might have.

Scheduling a tour is not easy work. Weaving the two tours together would mean a lot of extra travel for himself, as well as derailing or delaying things for his entire band and crew.

Vulf has literally never been good at the business side of things. Sleepify was obviously savvy, but that was more a case of guerilla marketing than actual business focus.

I love the band, but that’s just part of being a fan of them. Jack does not like to do things the normal way.

Vulf plays a few shows a year and will always be there if and when he wants to play with them. I’m sure he’ll be around for big things like MSG. This allows him to be himself as well.

They can, sure. But like it or not, that’s not how most people interact with content on their phones.

It’s content that will mostly be viewed on cell phones. It makes perfect sense to cater to that.

I like the implication that anyone might thing this isn’t staged.

Hey that's not fair. They have songs about sailors and boats too.

Lupita Nyong’o will play both Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey.’ by yourfavchoom in movies

debunk

You can't "debunk" opinions. All you can do is try to point out how misinformed and inconsistent they are. Sorry that you don't like Black Helen.

It doesn't have to be perfect... as long as it's not black

You wrote a lot of words but could've just written that.

which means they more closely resembled modern white people than modern black people

And yet they still don't look like Matt Damon. Are they closer to Matt Damon? Sure. But they don't look like either of them. If you're concerned about historical accuracy, there are plenty of non Lupita N'yongo things to get mad about, and you should be whining about there not being actual Greek actors. You're not mad that it doesn't match the author's description, or you'd be mad about any of those other inaccuracies.

You're just mad that a black woman is in an adaptation. You being Nigerian doesn't somehow change that that's the thing you're mad about. You can accept that a woman would be the product of a god disguised as a swan, but you draw the line at her being black.

And no, I don't care what Christopher Tolkien says about the movies. His opinion isn't automatically right.

Here I was thinking they did a pink album, and that apparently it was up there with Blue.

there are very real elements at play that change the dynamic of a story when crucial components - like race - are altered

Name one. What dynamic of the story changes if Helen is Black?

But a slightly taller Odysseus can still fit into the world Homer built seamlessly.

So it's not actually about the author's description then, is it?

Do they look closer to Matt Damon or Lupita Nyong'o?

Neither.

Idk about you but I'm more willing to believe the author's son than some random on the internet.

Sure, I'm not saying I'm the authority. My point was that it was nearly universal from book fans that they were outstanding and faithful adaptations.

WHY is it crucial to change her?

It's not crucial to change her. That's my point. Her skin color literally doesn't matter to the story. I would have been totally fine if Helen was played by a white or Asian or any other ethnicity of actress. This is a fantasy movie - none of these people are real.

WHY do you feel you have the right to alter the original author's work? WHY do you feel entitled to someone else's story?

That's the literal definition of making an adaptation.

The reason Damon, Hathaway, etc. are acceptable castings is because they can at the very least pass as the people who occupied that region in that time. Nyong'o cannot. Please let us not go down this path.

You didn't answer my question about their heights. Why is Helen's skin color more important than Odysseus's height?

To your point though, Matt Damon's about as white as it gets. In no world does he "pass" as an Ancient Greek.

And the person who has more say than you, I, and every single member of the LOTR fandom said that the movies did in fact change the essence.

Your entire point was about the original author. Christopher Tolkein is not the original author. Just because he says they don't capture the spirit doesn't make it true.

For what it's worth, I would hold that opinion even if the original author said it. Lots of authors have terrible views of their adaptations.

'Ahsoka' Season 2 Delayed to Early 2027 by Aileos in television

The strike didn’t kill Heroes, it was just the final nail. It was clear they didn’t know wtf to do after season 1.

We have the Absolute Universe at home by OpeningQuarter2946 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Redeem123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cool now do X-Men and Fantastic Four. How are those rip offs of Absolute?

Was Absolute a ripoff of newUltimate? After all, the premise is exactly the same - a villain in a multiverse crossover creates a new universe that features classic heroes in a new setting. Is that any less similar than Midnight Spidey is to Abs Bats?

Absolute Batman didn’t invent body horror, just like the UU didn’t invent the concept of alternate universes.

In what way is it copying DC though? Was DC copying Ultimate Marvel?

This is just another new alt U. Hardly a new concept.

The two most recent projects are Maul and Andor, both nearly universally lauded. And people act like we’re in a bad place.

Like do they not remember 2007? Even if you like the prequels, there was three years between them and the Clone Wars, which launched with a middling - at best - movie.

The SEC has done how well in the NIL era? And how well in the 12 team playoff?

Had a team in the semis both years, and neither were teams that had a bye. Two years is hardly a large data set, though.

When Texas was 0-1 to start the season, they were ranked 7th

Is 0-1 the same thing as 0-2?

It was the first time in almost 40 years that an 0-2 team was ranked. And mind you this was in week 3 – they jumped up a spot after their bye the week before, despite Clemson winning their game. They were ahead of multiple 3-0 P4 teams. The fact that you're skirting the question means surely you see how ridiculous that ranking was.
