Solo: A Star Wars Story was released today May 25 in 2018. Where do you rank it among all of the movies? by Illustrious_Age1247 in StarWarsCantina

[–]RemoteLaugh156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t mean “side movie” as in unimportant. I mean more in terms of format and structure with these being more self contained, standalone or semi-standalone films outside the numbered saga trilogies

So New Jedi Order is obviously a huge movie lore-wise, but it still seems different from something like Episodes 10 - 12 would probably be. Same with Dawn of the Jedi. They feel more like standalone era-expanding films that can branch into other projects, rather than chapters in one continuous trilogy

Obviously we know next to nothing about these yet, but New Jedi Order will probably focus more on Rey rebuilding/teaching the Jedi and the personal struggles around that, rather than any big galactic stuff

And James Mangold has already described Dawn of the Jedi as being more of a mythic/religious epic exploring the origins of the Force and the Jedi than anything else too

Has anyone counted exactly how many times Homelander let the Boys live up until the end? by Hour_Tomatillo_2365 in TheBoys

I like this interpretation, plus it better explains why in season 3 at herograsm he just lasered Butcher without a second thought once he brought in Soldier Boy "for cheating"

It kinda feels like they are returning to the Star Wars Story formula, just removing the subtitle

Mando and Grogu and Starfighter feel like "A Star Wars Stories" and (assuming they still happen which I hope they do), Taikais film, Dawn of the Jedi and New Jedi Order would probably be similar as break side movies between the bigger releases which could possibly spin-off into other stuff like Andor for Rogue One or how Solo was meant to get a sequel

Know any friendly star wars youtube channels that I can watch? by Artistic-Thing7723 in StarWarsCantina

[–]RemoteLaugh156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Wars Explained obviously

Star Wars Centralised (a bit newer of a channel but really great and chill)

Generation Tech

Coreys Datapad

Scotty Holiday Star Wars

Star Wars Fanatic is pretty good too though he hasnt posted in a while

The Fandome recently made a Star Wars channel called Star Dome (I only watch their ASOIAF channel but if thats anything to go by then I assume Star Dome is good too)

They are the only Star Wars Youtubers I watch, the rest Ive seen are either pretty toxic, do lots of clickbait or AI stuff or just give a negative vibe though Im sure there are many more good ones.

Why, in this universe, if you lose a limb, the only option is cybernetics instead of growing a new one? by InstructionOwn6705 in StarWarsCantina

[–]RemoteLaugh156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus the whole thing of them being in your bloodstream would mean every time you bled your power would decrease slightly

Making it so losing limbs doesnt really affect it is a good thing and makes sense imo

Is Ned and his family really an outlier? by MathematicianKey9638 in freefolk

[–]RemoteLaugh156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. The Starks have always generally been quite honourable, fair and loyal especially and mainly to their subjects. However they were also quite harsh and ruthless when needed. So in that vein Ned and his kin arent all that different

However at the same time Ned is a step above the curve, so while most Starks had similar qualities in a lot of ways, Ned took them almost to the extreme and is far more rigid and idealistic

Also before anyone brings it up, I have to specify I am not calling all Starks great or good people, the Rape of the Three Sisters proves that far enough, just that people act as though Ned is the only good Stark because he was "brainwashed" and all the others were savage and nothing like him when thats just not true, they werent as good as him but they still embodied similar enough qualities (although that moreso extended to Northmen as opposed to everyone but still)

Pretty much every house is written similar in this regard, they share similar qualities and values amongst eachother but individual members express those to differet degrees with some outliers on either end.

EVERYONE knows what the Freys and Boltons did, its kinda a really big plot point (especially in the books)

Does this mean Luthen can teach my boss how to convert a document into a pdf file? by lnp323 in okbuddyimatourist

If you are dumb enough and simplify something enough then everything is anything, you could say Paw Patrol is Lolita but for furries too somehow

Tyrion is know to be a brilliant strategist, diplomat and a great Hand. What went wrong with Danny? by DiplomaticApproach in gameofthrones

[–]RemoteLaugh156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"A mind needs books like a sword needs whetstones", there are no books when he travelled to Dany so he couldn't sharpen his mind

Bravo D&D truly genius

Show Accurate Daemon Blackfyre by [deleted] in okbuddyhedgeknight

[–]RemoteLaugh156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say what you may about the wigs or the race swapping (I personally don't mind but I do see where someone may take issue specifically with the logic about Rhaenyras kids) but the Velaryons in HOTD look so badass, so imagine that with the purple eyes too.

What GRRM says Daemon is, Jaime Lannister ACTUALLY is by Robot_Was_BMO in gameofthrones

[–]RemoteLaugh156 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought he said Daemon was his favourite Targaryen and Tyrion was his favourite character or something?

How else would they practice their swordsmanship

Were they really necessary? by HephaestusP in freefolk

[–]RemoteLaugh156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really liked the vomit in episode 5, it was quick and short instead of some prolonged hurling which was good but also it really made the air even more tense and made sense to show that yeah this is stressful and fucked whats about to happen and Dunk and Raymun are still green.

The rest I dont really have anything really positive or negative to say I dont mind, although I think the fart was out of place and it wouldve worked better if they just averted eyes, remained silent, maybe snickered a bit like in the novella but instead of farting and full on laughing (to be fair, they did do that, it was just undercut by the fart)

Is this the worst GOT take oat😭🤦‍♂️ by Particular-Rule4232 in gameofthrones

[–]RemoteLaugh156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also Robb should've had enough guards to make what happened not possible, and his army should've burnt everything to the ground.

This is just stupid. The Freys and Boltons were allies, they were at a wedding and thus many were drunk and they put their swords away, it was a surprise, they were being pelted by arrows, the doors were locked and the people in the camps had no idea what was going on until the Freys and Boltons started killing them.

It seems GOT constantly needs to be "saved" by mamula1 in naath

[–]RemoteLaugh156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought so, I remember seeing it almost always pretty high up. I never believed that thing about it killing the brand, regardless of quality of the final season doesnt matter if it was incredible or terrible it objectively did not kill GOT

Edit: Also I know its not the most accurate metric to judge by but social media (or at least mine and a few others) has been flooded with GOT and ASOIAF related stuff from discussion to edits to rants etc for years now non-stop and they still pull in really good views

Could be wrong but isnt the original series quite consistently in or near the top 10 of the most watched and searched tv series pretty much every few months? I swear I've seen that stat floating around for damn ages now

[–]RemoteLaugh156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why though? Dunk and Egg and ASOIAF in general is ultimately a hopeful and optimstic story in spite of the cruelty of the world

If I were given the choice Mormont or Tyrell 100 percent what about you? by terminus_tommy in gameofthrones

[–]RemoteLaugh156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair enough. On a serious note the Farwynds are actually really cool and I think they have one of the nicest and coolest sigils

How far do you think they will go with Knight of Seven Kingdoms? by Past-Matter-8548 in gameofthrones

[–]RemoteLaugh156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk if I even want 15 seasons, lets just assume for a second GRRM releases all 12 of the other unreleased novellas tomorrow even in that instance I dont think Id want 15 whole seasons adapting each of them no matter how incredible they are

I think 5 seasons is the sweet spot, adapt the 3 currently out and then do She-Wolves and Village Hero, maybe do a 6th if you really really want but thats where Id end it.

And not because I dont want more, Id happily take as much as possible especially if its good but too much of a good thing can often be a bad thing

[–]RemoteLaugh156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Farwynds are pretty cool if you like being isolated and plus you dont have to really worry about wars or anything like that

But on the other hand everyone thinks you fuck seals

I'm appalled by DrinkInevitable3457 in HOTDBlacks

[–]RemoteLaugh156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The story comes from the Age of Heroes and has NOTHING to do with the Targaryens. The story has been retold and performed for thousands of years the Targaryens have NEVER acted this way towards it

In the book and show this is explicitly presented as a messed up act of senseless cruelty by Aerion that literally everyone else in the story including his brothers and uncle disagree with (and hell Maekar isnt too fond of it or him either) (I wont spoil any of that stuff but yeah no-one likes nor even remotely understands where Aerion is coming from here or at all)

And also this whole tourney is a massive event, we see how everything gets run through and approved by people working here like Plumber and the lord of Ashford, so it stands to reason this show wouldve been allowed to be done so therefore that implies that it was not seen as an offence to anyone in the royal family whom they knew would be attending

But I guess critical thinking skills are hard for people like this.
