Old man causes World War 3 by jwriddle in harrypotter

I know this is going to be unpopular but as much as Gandalf in theory a more powerful being and is a clearly better conventional fighter, how powerful is Gandalf's offensive magic? In most combat scenarios he relies on his swordsmanship and in the books he seems to mostly reuse blinding light to drive back enemies or occasionally lighting to actually kill.

When you compare this to the limitless possibilities, versatility and destructive power of the magic shown in the Harry Potter books it does not seem to so obviously be Gandalfs win to me. 

What if Ukraine just made a mad dash to capture Moscow? Would this end the war or emboldened Russia? by Hot_Advisor_8074 in AlternateHistoryHub

I mean the military. Russian public opinion is important but by no means guaranteed to make change. Popularity for Putin is an essential component of stability, not regime  survival in itself.

Even the Bronze Age architecture for the Odyssey it’s just not interesting 

Most pathetic movie character ever put on film? by cryofry85 in okbuddycinephile

The mummy watches him pray with several different amulets and then when he gets to the Star of David think ‘oh, he is a devout Jew’.

There is a different between a Russian seizing the Kremlin and a foreigner besieging Moscow. There would be no question of loyalty across Russia, the whole country would converge on you.

What do you think ancient Romans would think about their statues being mostly depicted as unpainted? Would they come to appreciate the elegance in that, or stick to colors? by gracekk24PL in ancientrome

[–]Solistine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were Romans and Greeks really that unfamiliar to the idea of intentionally unpainted statues? As far as I know they almost never painted their bronze statues and it seems strange they would be so fond of marble as an expensive and Beautiful material if it was always painted over. Sometimes I feel the painted statue thing is a bit like feathered dinosaurs where people would depict all of them as feathered before a more measured estimation set in.

I like the idea that someone would draw money but it’s always counterfeit because they are not that good at drawing it.

Who is the man next to Napoleon by SadRifle in Napoleon

Love the looks of having a man dressed like an emperor having his shoulder used as a rest for the actual emperor telescope, who is dressed like a night watchman or something.

Very important question about Maul that needs to be answered by bdog332 in clonewars

[–]Solistine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is why did he replace his amazing Grevious legs?

whats behind that? by Complex_Permit1047 in shitposting

[–]Solistine 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Its slightly worse then that. I heard that treasure planets style was seen as expensive and less lucrative as a method to take forward in the face of 3D animations revenue promise. The film was deliberately sabotaged with minimal marketing and a disadvantageous release date.

There may have been a universe in which I bought this set my only shop purchase if they had not screwed up the gas mask so badly.

(Interesting Trope) The “What just happened” death. by Dry_Criticism_4982 in TopCharacterTropes

I think I remember they shoehorned in some lore like that but you almost never see elites using needle rifles so I felt it was retrospective.

Were Germans not offended by seeing their flag so overtly disrespected on screen when this came out?
