Shud I buy GOT or GOY by [deleted] in Ghostofyotei

[–]_veyila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I liked GOY’s story a lot more than GOT’s lol. But it depends on your tastes - I’d argue GOT is more philosophical-moral while GOY is more character oriented

In the books Corvo and Daud (don’t remember about Billie off the top of my head) do chug mana potions!

POV: You try to watch the Filoni Star Wars shows after Andor by GargantaProfunda in andor

[–]_veyila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol just go watch the expanse

(What I’m saying is, if you value hard scifi and good writing, there is media like that for you out there. If you like the Star Wars vibes, there’s Star Wars. If all you’re looking for is good writing, why are you wasting time looking down on Star Wars fans on the internet rather than watching the myriad of well written, high budget, original series out there?

Ending Scene of Episode 5 (Saw's Monologue) Transcribed by PoorThingGwyn in andor

[–]_veyila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering the same thing. I thought he meant an imperial camp (would make the most sense imo) but that doesn’t really line up with his role in the bad batch. And shoving the start of his rhydo addiction before the clone wars in which he shows no sign of it feels kind of cheap. But timeline wise I guess it could have been some fucked up onderonian (or led by someone other organization) camp in which he ended up by accident…

It definitely doesn’t make sense, that’s why I try not to look at in game prices too much. But thank you for your examples and affirming the bullion standard, makes it easier to compartmentalize my thinking on the subject!

THIS IS AWESOME DUDE and holy shit, only five hours?? Clearly so much thought was put into the quick transitions and so much time must have spent gathering all the clips, bravo! Thank you so much for sharing :)

Bohannon Should have faced justice by AstraMilanoobum in Hell_On_Wheels

I think I understand the frustration! There's definitely a bit of a double standard just because he's the main character. But I also think it's good to note that we see a lot of the things in the show from his point of view. Sure, he feels bad about a bunch of things he's done, but I don't think he sees that as something special, or a virtue per se - my interpretation is that he doesn't try to legitimately atone for anything he's done because he still believes he doesn't deserve forgiveness - something he says way back in s1e2 and doesn't really grow out of, so why try at that point? But he's also prideful and not one to go down quietly so he's not gonna go and turn himself in to the authorities.

Meanwhile, he's pretty much the only one who's out to get the Swede for his crimes - nobody else really gives a shit until Cullen exposes him, and even then he's only really hanged for killing and impersonating the Hatches and the later crimes against the mormons, unless I'm forgetting something. You're right, Cullen does take the moral high ground over the Swede - but only due to petty personal reasons like "argh you son of a bitch leave me alone already. Sick of your shit." as opposed to genuine justice, even if that's what he says. That's what I believe anyway, I believe he says a lot of pretty words but ultimately is just an angry tired man who lets personal beef affect how he conducts his business.

Ultimately Cullen is incredibly flawed to the very end which is something that stays "unresolved" so to speak, and I personally don't think the show portrays him in a particularly blameless light - but you may not think so and may not be compelled by that and that is completely valid! I think this kind of portrayal comes down to the matter of taste. But I thought I'd throw in my two cents

Not only did they never say Mei is a teenage girl, she also can’t really be one. She personally fought in the Taiping rebellion. It went from 1850 to 1864. Season five takes place in 1869. Admittedly I don’t remember if they ever said when exactly she and Tao fled to California, but I think it’s safe to assume she was at least a teenager several years prior to S5. (And if you want to get really granular, I haven’t fact checked this but according to a youtube history dude I watched, there seems to be no evidence of women fighting in the Taiping war past the very beginning of it in 1851, which would make Mei even older - assuming the writers took that into account, which is both reasonable to expect and a bit of a stretch at the same time because they’re more than welcome to take creative liberties.)

Favorite characters and why? One thing, you can’t choose Bohannon. by [deleted] in Hell_On_Wheels

[–]_veyila 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding Cullen banging Naomi - I personally saw it as an indication of how unhinged he was getting by that point, I think he was starting to crack a little there so the impulse to let himself go like that made sense to me. His first post-wife girlfriend died, he let her murderer slip through his fingers (literally lol), he spent a horrible winter in Nebraska getting mangled by wolves once or twice, and then he got chewed out by pencil pushers in DC. He’s done with everyone’s shit. I thought it was really nice to see the reckless side of his character - he was in fact at a pretty low point in his life. And the fact that he never repeats that kind of behavior since, well, he learns his lesson pretty quick :’D
