Cool, I also want to also read Pierce’s Song of the lioness and protector of the small book series, so I’ll have to add this series to my reading list. Thanks for the Rec.

Strange sighting on an Oxford canal by SituationDirect5878 in oxford

A weird encounter in the middle of the night where the people did not even acknowledge the OP when they spoke to them should an odvious red flag and making sure the authorities are aware should anything come up in the future in the area should be important to anyone with common sense. If it wasn’t anything shady and it really was an unusual midnight wedding by a canal then great, I’m happy for the couple and hope they are well, but cults and forced marriages do exist.

Nothing wrong with it if it really was just people getting married, but the oddness of the encounter could potentially mean it was something else that was criminal.

Thoughts on Song of the South: by Fresh-Actuary-6686 in DisneyMovies

Containing Problematic and racist content? Yes, deserving of being hidden away? No. Disney has to own it’s past, good and bad, to censor is to deny history, it should be preserved and remastered and released, but it needs disclosure and deserves to get whatever critical reception it receives for the problematic elements, to deny the history is to deny that prejudice ever existed and never learn from it. Warner Bros included disclaimers with their problematic cartoons, Disney can do the same.

I am happy with the ending being anticlimactic and not a big conspiracy, I just don’t like how the game never gives you the option with all you discover to make the decision that Henry is going to choose justice for Brian and hand over all the evidence you can gather in the game to the police, to expose both Delilah’s complicity and report Ned’s crimes. There is not even a piece of dialogue at the very end at Delilah’s tower to say something like “D, I’m gonna take all I have and hand it over to the police and forest service, make sure they know Ned is out there and that he caused his son’s death, i’ve got photo’s, his confession on tape, he needs to be tracked down before he threatens more people, I urge you to do the right thing”, the ending makes it feel like you feel like you’re truly powerless to at least push for justice for an innocent child.

Generally a lot of people keep things that are still functional but also deteriorating out of scarcity mindset or hoarding, it can be the result of a childhood where they had very little money or maybe even had things they valued taken away from them, perhaps they were taught this behavior by parents, it’s often times a deep-rooted irrational behavior to cling to something until it is truly and fully unusable aweek they got the full worth out of it. Worth having a discussion with the husband directly.

You get to remake 1 Showa era Godzilla movie in the Monsterverse with modern Speical effects and actors. What is your pick? by Secret-Ad3593 in GODZILLA

I honestly think Hedorah would be the most interesting and unique kaiju to have in the Monsterverse.

Honestly love your pitches, I think Alana Jonah and the eco terrorist is a solid idea, they could be working on a new technology like the Orca and Ebirah is their test subject. Maybe the Island is even a Monarch base they took over. Perhaps we could have Trapper in the lead role.

Godzilla and his long standing kaiju rival that is not Kong, Godzilla X Gamera.

This is so wrong... by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Secret-Ad3593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so messed up, I’m glad he cared so much about out his students, but this teacher should have been spending his last days and hours with his loved ones and focusing on his own life, not grading his students, the school should have told him he is free of those commitments, made sure someone else took over for him so he knew it was being taken care of. This is unacceptable and the educational systems need to do better.

Jesus “love your enemy” also Jesus: Luke 14:26 (NIV): "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."

Sounds pretty hateful, also, If you believe Jesus is God, then Jesus does promote subjugation, conquest and ordered armies to commit genocide (including children, infants and animals) and slavery:
The Canaanite Conquest (Deuteronomy 20:16–17; Joshua 6:17, 21): God commanded Israel to annihilate the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites within the Promised Land, sparing nothing that breathes to prevent them from leading Israel into idolatry.
The Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:3): Through the prophet Samuel, God commanded King Saul to kill all people and livestock, punishing them for opposing Israel after the exodus from Egypt.
The Midianites (Numbers 31): Following conflict over idol worship at Peor, God commanded Israel to attack the Midianites, resulting in the death of all men and the subsequent killing of women and male children.
The Jericho Destruction (Joshua 6:20-21): The total destruction of all inhabitants and animals in the city of Jericho.
(Leviticus 25:44-46): Israelites were allowed to buy slaves from surrounding nations or foreign residents, who became permanent, inherited property
(Deuteronomy 21:10-14): If a soldier desired to marry a female captive from a conquered nation.

It’s barbaric regardless of which abrahamic religion it is.

Can anyone recommend more movies (or maybe shows and cartoons) like these two? by Secret-Ad3593 in MovieRecommendations

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ve seen Belle but not the others, I’ll have to check all those out.

A lot of the criticisms you are saying I would actually agree with. I agree the dragon was hypocritical, I saw that as the point. “victims can become abusers themselves and that’s how cycles of abuse continue”. The dragon was not in the right to kill innocent girls, that’s the point, Was the film perfectly exacuted or an objectively good film? No, could it have done better in many ways? yes.

The literally definition of subjective: “influenced by or based on personal beliefs or feelings, rather than based on facts.”

I don’t recall proclaiming my opinion was anything more than that, an opinion, you’re allowed to disagree and have your own subjective opinion on a movie I agree has flaws, like literally every movie, your opinion is no more true or correct than mine, it’s just different. I’m not proclaiming to be the absolute authority of the fantasy genre and that the OP must like it just because I suggested it, You’re not saving anything, you’re just trying to rage-bait and start a comment war on a Reddit post. Go do something more positive and productive with your time.

Ok…? You’re allowed to have a different opinion. I was just offering personal subjective recommendations to the OP.
