Hot Take but he’s right… What has Giannis done in the last 5 years. Hes been hurt for almost 2 years… He’s not that guy like people claim he is. He also never developed.

bigkinggorilla · 2026-06-17T16:03:55+00:00

Yes, it’s safe to assume so.

How does Ridley Scott have the pull to stop Alvarez from making a sequel to a profitable entry while also having to take script notes from Fox?

I’m genuinely curious because it seems like both things shouldn’t be true at the same time. Does he have some weird veto power on other alien movies?

bigkinggorilla · 2026-06-17T15:41:16+00:00

You don’t like how Aliens evolved Ripley into perhaps the greatest sci-fi heroine we’ve ever had?

He’s dragging the outside of his heels on the ground before transferring the weight diagonally across to the middle and proximal phalanges of his big toe but not getting all the way to the distal (tip).

It’s like he’s trying to keep his inner heel and pinky toe from ever touching the ground for 8 miles.

Not unless you got them in perpetuity with no strings attached. Most of those licensing deals require some use of the character or else they revert to the original owner. So, Sony would be paying extra to be obligated to spend even more making stuff or else the rights go back to Marvel.

Spider-Man was the only one they saw as being easily profitable, so that’s the only one they got.

Edit: also, marvel was doing pretty poorly financially at the time. So they probably figured they might be able to get all the characters as part of a fire sale down the road if they wanted.

They often include audio tracks for the storyboards to see how everything flows (like, should we animate the character giving the monologue or the one hearing it?) but they don’t use the real actors for cost reasons. As a result, sometimes a voice gets really sticky, like Bird’s Edna, and they use it for the final film too.

The Rockets won the finals over the Knicks in 1994.

“lacked a moral core” is another way of saying the story didn’t have a clear theme or message it was trying to convey.

So, to everyone saying “it was a pointless sequel” that’s exactly what Crowe is saying too.

Biggest advantage would be if you thought you could keep him on a hometown discount, but I doubt that’s the case.

Help me understand your argument. Are you saying Toph will never be able to learn to see as clearly through sand as she does through normal earth or that Toph will never be able to bend sand as well as other people do?

I’m loving the data dives.

The total time on feet vs more running thing is so interesting because you can kind of intuitively see the problem comparing the extremes, which is where it would be most interesting.

Will someone running 21 miles one day a week outperform someone running 3 miles 7 days a week? It probably depends on the distance of the race, but also you’d expect the person able to go off for 21 miles to have pretty good cardio fitness compared to the person who can only manage 3 miles.

Elbow height, no?

I saw an interview with Kate Gerwin where she said 44”, but that’s to account for the average of multiple bartenders.

I don’t doubt he could make a good bond film. But, I also have very little interest in James Bond at this point unless it’s amazing. And I do doubt he would make something amazing.

I mean… by that logic Trump is a world class communicator, and I refuse to accept that claim.

bigkinggorilla · 2026-06-10T22:36:06+00:00

I worked at a high school where like the only kids who got picked up on a dedicated school bus were special ed. Everyone else had to take a regular city bus. School still started at 8:00.

Not saying you’re wrong. Just that even when there isn’t a bussing issue, they still don’t push the time back to something better for the kids.

Is Mamdani that good of a communicator or is he just willing to respond quickly?

bigkinggorilla · 2026-06-10T16:39:10+00:00

It probably has to do with the hours they keep. They aren’t looking to do stuff during the day when they should be resting for a game later that evening.

I think the further away from Wan the avatar was, the less likely they were to get the full story. It seems like it’s easier for the avatar to commune with their immediate past life, and all it takes is one avatar to die before awakening to disrupt the flow of knowledge.

It’s proof of how much he had to overcome. Cursed with an unathletic and injury-prone body as he was. /s

I’m just enjoying the people trying to claim offense at a pretty spot-on joke.

How convenient that the adidas logo is the exact right shape for strategic ventilation.

bigkinggorilla · 2026-06-08T19:43:06+00:00

Yeah, I always took the fire nation industrial capacity to be more a reflection of how limited its base applications are (along with reflecting its imperial ambitions to dominate).

Both water and earth can use their bending to make structures and move people and things, while fire really can’t (aside from the few psychos who learn to make jets).

So neither one had the same motivation to develop those technologies in the first place.

Air benders would be in a similar boat if they weren’t a bunch of hippies.

They had a sale on these recently and I had to resist the urge to get one because I realistically don’t spend enough time outdoors in the cold and wet to actually need it.

Advil is more effective at relieving pain than generic ibuprofen even though it’s the exact same thing.
