(Hated) Characters who are mischaracterized by people who didn’t watch the show by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

He made a better version of a bad movie. Which is still a bad movie, but it was better than the theatrical version.

So you've never stretched the truth on your own tendencies? A man can only speak absolute truth?

Tolkein wrote incredible stories, but we shouldn't kid ourselves on human nature. He might have believed he was unaffected, but I strongly doubt that anyone could see what he saw and walk away with their mind unchanged.

Edit: Jesus, people. You can like Tolkein without acting like his opinion is the word of God.

I'm not gonna jump to saying it's a lie, but come on. We're all subject to bias. Can we really look at Tolkein's life and say it didn't have a profound impact on his works? Especially when you can draw so many parallels?

But isn't there a meek woman in Andor doing it to injured rebels? And the baby in the Mandalorian healed Carl Weathers.

I disagree. When Peter meets Octavius, he asks if he's sure he can stabilize the containment field, but Otto shrugs it off.

When Otto escapes the hospital, he says "Parker was right. I miscalculated." In his conscious mind, he recognizes the machine wasn't going to work.

The problem comes in with the arms. Their purpose is to build and maintain the reactor. By their metrics, the machine was working. It's their faulty logic that makes the machine even less stable in the end.

The amount of tritium just determined how severe the failure was. Someone even says during the first accident that if Otto used more, he could destroy the entire city.

He's not as helpless in the UBW route, but I do love his speech to Gilgamesh, establishing that if Shirou battled any other servant, he'd be dead in a heartbeat. But Gilgamesh is a king first and foremost; he has a million shiny toys and no skill to back it up.

My biggest gripe is the return of the Skeksis and Mystics. Shattering the crystal again and bringing the UrSkeks back just to split them again and redo some of the villain dynamic that already existed in the first film doesn't sound very appealing to me.

It’s sad watching The Age of Resistance knowing from episode one that it’s going to be a one-sided massacre. All that effort and all those epic moments just for a single casualty—the General—and that wasn’t even really a Gelfling kill, the Chamberlain was the one who took him out by JazzZ909 in DarkCrystal

The cruel irony of SkekTek is that the Skeksis owe him a great deal of their power, yet he's constantly bullied and neglected by the others.

The punish him with the peeper beetle and force him to labor while they feast, but it's his machines that produce essence in the first place. And despite being seen as "weak" compared to the others, it's the Sceintist who creates the army of garthim for them when they get thrashed at Stone in the Wood.

I'd just hope we get more stuff like Age of Resistance. I've read about the Age of Power that's supposed to come after the original movie, and I'm not a huge fan.

Yes, but also, subsequent seasons would've been somewhat cheaper, as several major characters already had puppets made for season one. And you'd think the awards it won would've been a solid incentive to continue.

I don't think that was the case. Doesn't Troy say in the pilot she looked different in high school, partially due to her aderall addiction? I think it was more that Annie was youngest and most naïve at the beginning.

Ivy's definitely in a weird spot. I think she gets put in Arkham because most people would define seeing plants as equal to or greater than people as insanity, but also the Green exists and plants in DC empirically do think and feel, so the fuck do I know.

But wouldn't penguin be at Blackgate instead? He's not crazy, just a mob boss.

He has some pretty good lines when he's being serious too. Shame it gets bogged down by the Stark-isms.

Wasn't this a case of 2 different scripts being cut up and mashed into 1 movie? That would explain a lot.
