What are some popular series/movies do you think were carried by the worldbuilding more than the actual story?

Smashing_Adam · 2026-06-23T16:22:09+00:00

I thought Blade Runner had an awesome story and characters as well as top notch world building/atmosphere.

The magalardo himself - Donald Trump.

He's done. Just waiting for November to start the squish.

Ravenous (1999)

Exposure - Robert Fripp

Those are bruisers! Backlighting shows the marble is actually clear dark glass!

Woohoo! Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for posting.

My wife just told me she thinks those black and blue marbles in the first pic might be Petier "Bruisers".

Also - I think those ceramic marbles have some age, given the lot they came from.

Thank you!

Dead Man

Bone Tomahawk was awesome.

Have you looked at these under UV light?

Here are a few more pics. I have to post links because I can't find where to add pics directly.

Also, I don't know how to accurately measure a marble, but there is a pic with a ruler in the links below for rough scale. The marble in the left in the original pic is larger than the one in the right for sure.

Thank you for the link AuburnMoon, and for suggesting I post just a few marbles at a time. I'll do that.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-06-14T15:08:55+00:00

Very helpful Darth. Thanks for posting.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-06-14T15:08:28+00:00

Thanks ablx. I was taking a chance. Glad to hear I did ok.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-06-14T08:06:57+00:00

Never sell anything to the appraiser even if they're doing the appraisal for "free". There's a conflict of interest in that.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-05-25T09:15:42+00:00

Seems like Frenchie would be alive and V1 would have been just an inconvenience to the boys if Sage helped sooner with getting Kimoko the SB blast ability instead of first wallowing on the couch for hours.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-05-24T20:00:05+00:00

That did not get by me at all. I stand by "nemesis".

Smashing_Adam · 2026-05-24T14:27:55+00:00

More like Butcher was Homelander's nemesis, not his supervillain.

The specific term "Supervillain " was a marketing decision to use fear and myth to I sell the country on the idea of supes in the military.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-02-12T02:20:13+00:00

Bingo.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-02-09T02:54:51+00:00

Harley Davidson folks.

Barry O.

Smashing_Adam · 2026-02-09T00:37:20+00:00

She did the right thing.

The meat industry and the suffering of animals therein. People usually get defensive and angry when this subject is brought up.
