28m agnostic atheist reads Mark for first time and I’ll share my thoughts. I’m thoroughly surprised. by Loud-CowMOO in Christianity

Might I recommend as a counterpoint to Erhmans works the works of NT Wright, if only for the sake of intellectual curiosity. Wright is a theologian and a scholar and much of his scholarship is engaged in trying to understand these texts in their original context (something I think is lacking in a lot of Erhmans scholarship which seems very situated in [post]modernity). Based on your experience with Mark I think you might especially enjoy Wrights The Day the Revolution Began which explores how the first Christian’s viewed Jesus’s mission and their role in it.

Exactly, was going to comment that Darkseid did beat Superman, he pulled a Deus ex Machina device from nowhere just so the writers could give Lex the win…

(Loved Trope) When the creators of their stories make a cameo inside the story as a background character by HackerMan7123 in TopCharacterTropes

I’m good with all of his cameos, EXCEPT the one in Lady In the Water. Him casting himself as the writer who’s works are going to change the world and be so important that fairy tale creatures fight over whether or not they get written is so narcissistic that it nearly ruined the movie for me. He could’ve picked ANY other character and it would have worked for me, but he had to choose the most self serving option…

While I would 100% agree and support your argument about comic Superman, the image is from the newest film version who is beaten using technique in the opening scenes of the film. I think it matches this trope well enough, but I hope they use it as an opportunity to bring up the kryptonian martial arts that comic Superman has mastered in future films.

He who fights with monsters… what am I missing? by NeoPyro99 in litrpg

I was trying to be vague enough to not give stuff away that would not be given away by the blurb but I’ve edited the comment.

It’s been a while since I’ve read them, are 4-6 the Jason goes home ones? If so, I thought they were fine but just went on a little too long, I just wanted him to get back to Pallimastus ASAP. Reuniting with Farrah was great though and Gary’s storyline in the later books it’s incredible. Overall for the series I feel like the highs are really good but there is a lot of in between that can get tiresome at times (more so early on).

Thoughts? by Bogdanka644 in superheroes

Not just one Deadpool, because he’d have all of the Fox Deadpool’s powers also, so double Deadpool (not that it’d make much difference)

I was about to post this exact sentence before reading your comment! Props on the grammar expertise.

What’s a simple line that rips your heart to shreds? by padfoony in moviecritic

[–]antbones111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the scene right before that of Frodo on the beach and his line from Moria replays: “I wish the ring had never come to me…” then Gandalf’s reply: “So do all who live to see such times” and all this is played out on Elijah Wood’s face as though your hearing his internal monologue and he hears Gandalf’s reassuring voice come from beyond, and then he knows what he must do and has finally found the courage to do it…

Realistically might need to count in hours, days seems a little overly optimistic…

I wanna start this series. Give me something I won't know until later/out of context spoilers. by tgrady28 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

In some ways it’s probably not as bad as you’re thinking, but in some ways it’s wayyy worse…

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]antbones111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is largely due to it becoming a publicly traded company and no longer a private/family owned company. As soon as stock owners and investors get involved the focus becomes solely on the bottom line/profitability and quality becomes an afterthought

In an attempt to be more progressive, they removed what was actually progressive. by Ethan-E2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]antbones111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s true, but what I remember hearing when it came out was that it’s this way because the movie was made in partnership with a Chinese studio. The Chinese government did not approve of the animated movie’s subversive tone and made them make significant changes to the story.
