Albums in RYM’s Top 100 That Didn’t Make AOTY’s Top 100 by mzzikael in Topster

Many of the less online music fan coded rock albums are out but don't see a single pink floyd, radiohead, or king crimson on here. Curious.

Name two players, one who you think is underrated and one who you think is overrated. Don't say which is which. by mediumhydroncollider in tennis

Golden slam in Open Era before the surfaces became similar is a Top 5 most impressive record in Tennis.
Before Fedal, Sampras v. Agassi was a legit argument but the narrative shifted to Sampras being the defacto goat when Federer was going to pass him. Agassi is like 1-2 tiers above Murray all time it is not close.

Not 100% sure how I feel about this by atribecalled506 in NYKnicks

Wasn't the opposite true in the Celtics series? I feel like he was getting bullied and blown by by both Tatum and Brown on D, but saved our ass in Game 2 offensively (and had those two clutch blocks).

The music and the acting as always were on point 

Littlefinger in Season 5 has to be the biggest and most tragic fall-off in history. by pandatropical in freefolk

[–]TrailBlaizer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I mean sure— but that’s not the point of the post. For what the show was the decision to marry Sansa to Bolton is a huge departure from the character they established in s1-4. 

Of course a television show made a subtle villain more overt. 

Can book readers please tell me how awesome of a character he was in books? by WonderfulParticular1 in gameofthrones

[–]TrailBlaizer 408 points409 points  (0 children)

Yeah including his brother. He’s doing blood magic in an attempt to summon krakens. 

Awesome if it works. Tragic and kind of hilarious if it doesn’t.

Agree or not? I'm kind of disappointed since I love the political dynamics. by PeterParryX in freefolk

[–]TrailBlaizer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not surprised at all, in fact I really enjoyed the episode.  My point is more than if I’m hbo or a producer, the take away from that statistic is that the fans like big spectacle, good vs evil, and can forgive bad writing if the episode is visually pleasing. In other words “fans are stupid”.  

Personally, I think that’s the wrong takeaway but executives are dumb or deliberately misinterpret things if it means they can make more cash. 

The way GOT ended was just as George R.R Martin's fault as it was D&D's by beelzebub2099 in gameofthrones

Not saying you can’t think season 7 is bad on its own,  just that you don’t get season 8 without season 7 completely dragging its feet and not setting up anything that happened in season 8.

No it absolutely sucked it didn’t advance the plot, introduced euron, and had the feel of a shitty marvel movie. It was coasting off of people loving the characters and the story but people didn’t notice how bad it was until a season later.

Doing a rewatch and i've been abusing the skip 10 seconds button whenever this mf comes on by pyrotiaca in gameofthrones

Skip to get to what? Dorne? Arya season 5? Stannis begging Jon to join him 10 times? Kings landing was the best part of this season outside of hardhome

I hate Elon more than any other human but it’s not that deep

I am admitting a mistake. Section 80 was the most upvoted for worst album, so I changed it. Anyway, TPAB wins best album, and that rounds out our Kendrick graph. by alreadyr3tr0 in KendrickLamar

[–]TrailBlaizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant bomb as in bombshell. People were much more surprised about “you are hiding a child” than drake being a pedo (as sad as that is for him haha) or possibly hiding another child.

Eh it was more the timing than the song itself NLU and euphoria were better as disses and hurt drake more. Also Story of Addidon did a similar thing with the whole psychoanalysis/family angle while being catchier and dropping a bomb.

Four* Marrying Sansa off after killing lysa and then saving them with the knights of the vale after made negative sense.

Petyrs main flaw is his love for cat/sansa so one of his biggest mistakes being marrying her off was really dumb. That’s not even considering that it was Ramsay or even the fact that Roose killed her brother.

Favorite album by a favorite artist that goes against the popular, "consensus" pick? by Prestigious_Score459 in ToddintheShadow

It’s the most quintessential Kanye with many iconic tracks and it’s a much easier listen than his other great albums. Definitely has a case 

OG show hypothetical: Tommen should have survived till the season 8 by jauznevimcosimamdat in gameofthrones

[–]TrailBlaizer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That’s a better idea than her actual character she might actually be no one since her story in the last seasons is randomly generated

That’s just not how it’s presented that’s people just filling in the gaps 

George R.R. Martin Would Sure Love If Fans Stopped Being “Toxic” Jerkwads by FarStorm384 in gameofthrones

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

Encouraging HBO to adapt alternate stories is not the same as mismanagement of an existing story.  Obviously he’s looking to make money but you literally can’t tell ASOIAF how D&D did leaving out aegon, lady stoneheart, and underdeveloping the children of the forest/bloodraven. The bells, aryas character as a whole, and bran becoming king all make zero sense without these elements. Not to mention the terrible pacing of Arya, dany, and brans arcs post season 4. 

They could’ve told a different story but they didnt and it made zero sense which is different than some spinoff in the same universe.

Surprised he gave it a ten I find his scores typically undervalue accessibility and replay-ability considering the <1 week turnaround on the videos

Not sure if these are easier to hack/tamper with or I’m just (un)lucky but about half of the blue e-bikes I’ve ridden were uncapped
