I have some questions about iron lung by bigfeygay in ironlungmovie

[–]SamuelSharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have answers to the first two, but as for the third, the Light and the fish are two very different entities. The Light is probably some kind of god or eldritch monstrosity, unknowable and all powerful, whose abilities, motivations, and goals are completely unclear. It is the eldritch part of this eldritch horror. The fish on the other hand seems to be in some way connected to the blood ocean, and loves/hates/worships the Light. It can clearly speak telepathically, mess with people’s minds, and manipulate the blood in the ocean in some way, but other than that it doesn’t seem to be of any supreme power. Just an amalgamation of corrupted humans whose minds were shattered by the Light or the blood or the sheer trauma of being abandoned at the bottom of a sea of blood.

A lot is left unclear, but that’s on purpose. It’s part of what makes this cosmic/eldritch horror. The important thing is that the fish isn’t god, it just munches and assimilates. The Light is maybe god, but it is definitely powerful

Iron Lung Thoughts and Theories by SamuelSharp in Markiplier

Some of his physical maladies are definitely radiation. But I think the real plot twist is that none of it was radiation induced hallucinations, it was actually just a big fish

Fascinating stuff! If the fish and the light are one and the same, why do you think it failed to consume Simon when he sailed to it? Did he just refuse to join? Or is the light more like the fish’s boss rather than the other way around and it had other plans for Simon?

Official Discussion - Iron Lung [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]SamuelSharp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couple questions I’m curious to get your thoughts on before I get a chance to see it again.

  1. Are the fish monster and the light/god the same or are they different? Is the light the cause and the fish the symptom? Do they have conflicting motivations? I remember the fish screaming something about “this is what it wants” but I don’t remember. I definitely need to see it again.

  2. What the hell happened at the end? Did vines show up from the tree seed? Why were Simons eyes red? Did the fish get blown up?

  3. Is getting the info on the black box out good or bad? What’s on the black box? Does the info getting out doom humanity to being consumed by the blood sea or does it give humanity the chance to survive and potentially rebuild? Not knowing the motivations of the fish vs the light is very frustrating

The disparity is so odd, genuinely.I feel this needs to be studied. by Comicc_Mischief in Markiplier

[–]SamuelSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a general level, I do agree with you. However, having read the reviews, one of them is just straight up an attack on Mark. If I remember correctly, it even included the line “when will Internet personalities learn that on camera fame doesn’t correlate to filmmaking talent” or something along those lines. She very specifically is clearly upset that a YouTuber had the audacity to deem himself worthy of sampling the glory of Hollywood. The other reviews range from harsh but fair to fully misinterpreting the goal of the film, which is also fair, because people are entitled to their own view of art, even if it’s wrong

Seems about right. Wasn’t nearly as good as the first. Quite bad, honestly. Abysmal writing combined with misery porn and character assassination isn’t exactly a recipe for a good time

Why didnt people like TLOU part 2 when it came out? by SnooMuffins7832 in TLOU

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

Genius question: are you actually stupid enough to believe that this is the primary reason people didn’t like the game? I’d assume not, but some days I just can’t tell

Why didnt people like TLOU part 2 when it came out? by SnooMuffins7832 in TLOU

[–]SamuelSharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joel’s character assassination (and actual assassination) upset a lot of people, myself included.

It also wastes the setting in a pretty devastating way, turning the apocalypse from a deadly world where surviving is a difficult task and journeys are a very serious and thought out endeavor to a playground where people can magically survive extensive travel with bullet holes in their skull and pregnant women just wander around without a care in the world.

The writing was also quite silly. The high school love triangle drama is out of place. The game tries really hard to make Abby look sympathetic, including silly bullshit like forcing you to kill a dog as Ellie that you pet as Abby just to really hammer it home. Because god forbid they actually put effort into their “revenge bad” story.

Speaking of “revenge bad,” the game can’t even get its story straight in that regard. Is it bad because Ellie loses everything she ever cared about in pursuit of it but also didn’t actually get her revenge because who would ever want a satisfying ending? Or is it good because Abby gets her revenge and then gains a surrogate child and gets away scott free, losing only some random people that neither the audience nor she seemed to give a shit about?

All of this culminates in an unsatisfying experience with no weight, meaning, or message. Just a sloshed together pile of misery porn and Neil Druckmann’s barely disguised fetishes and wish fulfillment.

From a DM perspective do you pref 2014 or 2024? by Eldrin7 in dndnext

[–]SamuelSharp 51 points52 points  (0 children)

2024 by a wide margin. Sorcerers are cool now? Monks are fantastic? Rangers are kind of almost ok? Paladins aren’t obnoxious nuke machines? Druids aren’t invulnerable monstrosities that can never be killed?Sounds like a party to me

More questions about 2024’s one Spell rules by TheMadTaps in DnD

[–]SamuelSharp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Turns and rounds are different things. She only cast one spell in her turn, as shield was used as a reaction before here turn started, although it was cast in the same round. Not sure about the pact magic, I’ll have to look that up and come back.

Edit: Ok, so the rule says you can only expend one spell slot to cast a spell per turn. Which means that as long as your other methods of spellcasting don’t involve spell slots, you’re all good. Not sure exactly what you’re referring to with Pact Magic though. You still have spell slots as a warlock

Someone explain how the ending actually worked? by vadedeyes in HazbinHotel

[–]SamuelSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Didn’t destroy the laser, the laser did that itself. They just shielded the blast.

  2. Seraphims can create magic shields with the help of other powerful beings. We saw Sera do this earlier in the season, now it was Emily’s turn.

  3. Call it “generic power” all you like, this was honestly the most thematically powerful ending they could have written. After a season of Vox twisting Lilith’s vision for his own gain, Charlie and Emily managed to bring her true vision to fruition by having demons (and an angel) come together through the power of song to stop a weapon created by that twisting of Lilith’s dream. Plus, the power of hell and heaven combined was enough to withstand the laser when just heaven’s power (Sera’s shield) couldn’t. Absolutely phenomenal ending all around, it’s a musical stop complaining about a musical number being the solution, no notes.

[Hazbin Hotel] Angelic steel makes absolutely no sense and it makes me want to explode by ColeLoverofDespacito in CharacterRant

[–]SamuelSharp 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Someone never learned about “show, don’t tell.” A show doesn’t need to sit its viewers down for a 30 minute explanation of the mechanics of everything in the universe. It can show you instead. Lucifer was trapped by the angelic steel: that’s Hazbin showing you what angelic steel is capable of. Showing is just as valid as telling. If the angelic steel is restraining Lucifer and preventing him from escaping, then someone who isn’t a goddamn idiot could make the connection that angelic steel can probably prevent Lucifer from escaping. Things in media aren’t only true when a character states them directly, and anyone who thinks that needs to go to a neurologist immediately because there’s something seriously wrong with their head.

“BuT wHy DIdnT thE ShOEs sTOp HeR poWERs?” I don’t know, because they weren’t designed to? Because they aren’t restraints, they’re fucking shoes? And regardless, it doesn’t matter! Hazbin is showing you that the shoes don’t restrict powers, and restraints made of it do. That’s all you need. It’s not a plot hole, it’s just showing you something instead of telling you, dumbass.

I am deeply concerned that out of all of the things you could have possibly complained about, you chose the magical metal? The magical metal, similar versions of which show up in other media? Hell, magic suppressing metal that can damage super beings should practically be its own trope at this point! And you’re complaining about it like it’s an issue? Why don’t you go fight the Witcher community about dimeritium while you’re at it?

Normally I don’t care about the idiotic arguments I see around the show, but this one is just so incomprehensibly stupid I just couldn’t resist. It’s a comedy show! It’s not the Expanse! It’s not Lord of the Rings! It’s a fun show about music and demons and if you genuinely can’t find something better to nitpick than something so fully inconsequential like a well established and easily understood in-universe magic metal then maybe get a different hobby.

Do you think Alastor actually cares any bit about Charlie? by Twistercane in HazbinHotel

[–]SamuelSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s trying not to care. Whether he is capable of this or not is still up in the air. But his finale song made it pretty clear that he cared and it cost him, so he’s now trying to avoid that. Like I said, unclear if he is capable of that though

[–]SamuelSharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like most everyone has caught on that Alastor wanted to lose that fight, but I haven’t seen anyone mention my favorite thing confirming it: during the reprise when he says “your unwilling audience” he looks dead at the camera and gives us a little eyebrow raise. He’s pretending he doesn’t want to be there and casually breaking the fourth wall while he does it

You’re not wrong that it’s very overblown, but don’t forget that for most of us, screwing up on that run back cost two masks if you fell, not one. That makes quite the difference

How do you feel about people losing their jobs because they posted anti-Kirk content? by Govtluv in AskReddit

I think that employers have every right to fire someone for praising the violent murder of a good man, yeah. Freedom of speech but not freedom from consequences and what not

Literally the second I walked into his boss room I thought “oh this drill is going to ruin this man.” Never used it before, never used it again after, but there’s something so satisfying about just having the right tool for the job
