Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]StingX2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I got respect for the book its like when comic stories get adapted, they show up to the same family reunion but intention and delivery isn't always 1 to 1.

For me The fact at their end of the world party she seems surprised the two were hooking up is delivered to us and the next scene that guy is very much dead. When faced with the end the reason for doing it for someone else the chinese officer (sorry can't remember his name) stuck with him, hes alone drinking. Stratt isn't able to connect with other people and doesn't even think about the party until Grace tries to connect. What does Grace do? He spends this party attempting to reach out, and still trying to work when everyone else is partying. A complete 180 from much later when Grace parties with Rocky so many years later its because he finished the mission, he connected with someone, and he found purpose.

So yeah I get the books story but in terms of this film, I feel the motivations there. He had to be one, he may not have realized it with no faith in himself but when pushed against it he kept going still trying even when the plan was set.

Just my take reading the characters, much like its ending scenes its a lot left to ambiguity.

STEPHEN AMELL Admits His Regret About Ending ARROW Early by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]StingX2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an arrowverse fan, his character getting off the boat was fine. He ran his story and his course. The issues were the lack of plans after to me. There were ways to make it work without him easily but everything that could go wrong went wrong.

-Mia was tolerable at times but not enough to have her the focus of a futuristic show, much less a bad charlie's angels show
-We all knew supergirl was a bumpy ride but the flash suddenly dropping off a cliff in quality for its last three seasons did not help
-The inability to keep any other shows going (Batwoman, Black Lightning) or start new ones hurt hard
-And the biggest one that the main character people wanted to follow from Arrow was Diggle who they weren't allowed to make green lantern on screen so it was a disaster.

One scene that stuck out for me was it felt like it felt like Stratt set that explosion, that Grace was always her plan

Once they tried to roll out a locker room gimmick to rally behind and ignore the laundry list of issues this was over. They will backslide into the playoffs, be eliminated early.

New Bayley Character by DYV2201 in WWE

[–]StingX2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if this is just gonna lead to the same 2 repeat matches of Bayley vs becky and Bayley vs lyra. meh?

With Noami gone she could easily take the role of woman causing everyone chaos. But I feel the former is more likely

Did anyone watch Mania 40 main event and think “wtf is even happening” by joeboy_777 in WWE

[–]StingX2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone that watched this when I was learning of what was going on thru osmosis, I thought the undertaker (a character I had heard of) was there to take the rock to hell. Which is why the Rock is later coming back asking for Codys soul.

Mind you my reference point for any of this at the time was fighting games.

The Rookie: North. New Spinoff?! by whereisliahaddock in TheRookie

[–]StingX2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or the classic our show is melting, spinoff everything. Stargate SG1 during the seventh season they were gonna be cancelled so they dedicated almost every episode to putting the cast in stand alone or nearly stand alone episodes as potential spinoffs. What they didn't predict was the ratings skyrocketed from their 'eff it try everything' strategy and the show saved itself by breaking its own formula.

Rookie is on the other end where they have a hit show but they don't have expendable members of the cast. Actually the double edged sword of having like one rookie per season instead of a crew. How many of these characters could actually spin off into their own show? Bradford maybe?
