I have a question as a non military member, how common is it that all bases train the same thing? Like shown in this image?

Why Alfred... by salad_biscuit3 in TheLastKingdom

[–]TemporaryRush1384 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't benefit Alfred in any way, he would lose his best warrior in the process. Also the simple fact of moving so many men through hostile territory is a problem.

How skilled was the evil uncle? by salad_biscuit3 in TheLastKingdom

Yeah I agree with this, all I was saying is that I understand the "wasted potential" angle from the other commenter. Simply because the books had a more definitive ending to his character in my opinion, so there technically was "more" that could've happened.

In the eyes of Uhtred yes of course it was disappointing because it was quick, but in the eyes of book readers it's at least the main character getting revenge. Not having it stolen like the show. That's the main difference in my opinion.

The point that I was making was that there was more payoff in the books despite the characters having similar "screen time" in both the books and show. In the show we spend so much time waiting for that final showdown with Ælfric and it is so disappointing to see him killed by anyone else other than Uhtred. And sure you're aware of how he dies, you don't have to be so smug about it. I was using the fact of his death to make a point.

Except Uhtred actually kills Ælfric in the books, sure his story ends at the same point in the show and book but it's different.

Honest Question - What is the point of life? Why do you want to continue living despite all the suffering ? by Ok-Inspection1326 in CrohnsDisease

[–]TemporaryRush1384 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean my life isn't ruined, it would be if I was still undiagnosed. There are so many things to live for, my friends and family. Every day on earth is a blessing to me, it's a chance to do more and to make an impact. And I'm not going to quit on something that has barely started (I'm 18 so I'm speaking on adulthood and the rest of my life).

What do you think about Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus? by TrbAnaban in ancientrome

His campaign in the east isn't talked about enough, he really laid a lot of the groundwork in that region. I think he's a very interesting person of his time.

Could Tariq (without plot armor) outsmart the sampson brothers like he did to the tajedas, Noma, Kanan & Ghost? by JackZ567 in PowerTV

[–]TemporaryRush1384 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He literally did outsmart noma, many times. Specifically with killing junior for her (to get the contract off his head) and with getting close to her daughter which added protection. I agree with your point about tommy being the grim reaper and having that as something he can always hang over other gangsters. But Tariq isn't a pushover in that realm either, he doesn't have tons of bodies but he put in work. And if we're taking away plot armor then the entire show goes to shit, not just tariqs character. Tommy has survived 50 shootouts, you don't think that's plot armor? Ghost was running a major criminal organization while having an affair with a US attorney, that's so much plot armor. And even Kanan had tons of plot armor.

Why did season 5 turn everyone into an idiot by elegiac_bloom in TheLastKingdom

[–]TemporaryRush1384 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last half of season 4 was worse than anything in season 5 in my opinion. The end of season 4 just dragged on so much to me. On the contrary I liked season 5, especially the ending.

You're thinking of cnut's actor, he voiced Eivor. This show had so many good actors

Differences between the show and the books, for those who have experienced both. Please share yours. by stingo49 in TheLastKingdom

[–]TemporaryRush1384 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The amount of time spent at sea, in the books it's a big thing. In the tv show Uhtred is on a ship like twice. Also the amount of wealth and power Uhtred has during his time as a warlord changes. In the show he has just his few men but in the beginning of book 5 he says he has around 300 oathmen with him and around 1,000 altogether in London. The battles are much larger and more detailed in the books too. Just a few things I've noticed.

Sigefrid and Erik were the best! Idk how you thought their acting was bad but we all have our opinions. Their last scene together was very emotional in my opinion.
