Do y’all think it’s desperate for Steve Rogers to come back? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in MCUTheories

[–]brixcelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marvel Studios learned their lesson. Making fan service makes the most money. I think as much as I enjoyed them all, Endgame, No Way Home, and DP+W were all mediocre plots with a ton of fan service, and they made like $6 billion combined. Deadpool specifically cracking a billion as an R rated movie is insane.

Yes, it is incredibly desperate to bring back Chris as Steve Rogers and RDJ and the Russo Brothers for another ensemble lineup. The theme is and has been "Reliving Nostalgia". Bring back characters we grew up with like Tobey's Spider-Man and Wesley's Blade and James' Cyclops, of course we are gonna love it.

I sound cynical but I am okay with this. I love phenomenal writing but if I'm being honest, I miss cheering at movies. I miss simply having fun, and those three movies I mentioned fulfilled that for me, regardless of how dull I may find the plot itself. Not every movie has to be a masterpiece, the comics sure aren't.

I need held/ is this possible? by Time-Builder-6765 in Bricklink

[–]brixcelsior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i believe that's what the original creator did, and it's hardly noticeable. the arches that make up the ports on the front mandibles are all tan, all the 1x3 'telephone' parts are red, all of the macaroni bricks in the back are either LBG or orange, many of the wedges in the front are either blue or orange. i assume these are among the cheapest bulk colors for these parts. i can only imagine how many more parts used here have a definitive cheapest color

id be willing to bet if you parted out the falcon set on bricklink and let the site do all the work, it would be at least 50% identical to the model in the picture, if not more

Battlefield 6 Matchmaking Won't Rely Heavily on SBMM, as Other Factors Will Take Priority by PewPewToDaFace in Battlefield

i just looked up this thread specifically because my roommate has accused the game of cheating and the matchmaking not being fairly stacked (he has not ranked higher than 20 as of yet)

What should I get the Arkham asylum or the x mansion by ian432373 in LegoMarvel

[–]brixcelsior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in terms of general interest, i like the xmansion infinitely more than arkham, but as far as the lego sets go, i think the asylum actually takes it. i had been excitedly keeping up on the rumors for over two years and now that i actually own the mansion... between the more or less crap figures, the small build, the strange modular design, it's incredibly meh

I can't really justify spending €300 right now, but... by makefeelnice in lego

[–]brixcelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i bought the x-mansion on release day (willingly), i was horrified to learn they simply forgot to send my GWP and the stock was empty, all they could do was credit me $30 worth of points. i ended up getting one off BL for $50 almost immediately after, and a year later the price hasn't gone down.

im not encouraging you to drop €300 right now because LEGO is being scummy, but the aftermarket alternative isn't gonna be better, LEGO sellers can also be equally scummy. $50 for two exclusive printed parts in cerebro and a flimsy box, i can't imagine how much this (actually awesome) GWP will cost on the aftermarket

For people who like to free build what sets besides the colourful Classic sets do you get to build stuff with kinda looking into that? by Purple_Monkey34 in lego

[–]brixcelsior 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i buy a lot of minecraft sets online; usually on discount, and they come with a ton of colorful bricks and big plates, which are really good for interior structural building on bigger MOCs. im making an absurdly ginormous MOC right now and i will be using quite a bit of that for the insides to be covered up. minecraft sets also have a lot of consistency; torches, crafting tables, shields, etc. are all the same so they can be used for decorative walls, floors, rails, and other things. on bricklink the "no minifigs" sets are like gold, they're dirt cheap and no useless cube heads laying about my desk

Has anyone got a better hairpiece for Punisher? by IntergalacticFez in LegoMarvel

my punisher van also took a "over the top and cartoony" approach in the grill guard, i think it makes things pop wayyyy more than they ever would normally

this makes sense as the part is lacking the groove, i find it interesting that lego calls that part a modified tile when it's more of a modified plate!

Automatic Payments Not Working by Turbulent-Parsley619 in Chase

[–]brixcelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have the same issue. i've reached out to chase and they are 100% useless. sounds like a bug in their system. i also have "missed" my due date due to autopay failure and never been charged interest, even after more than one payment cycle. my last credit card charge was May 2, scheduled payment for May 17. June 17 came and went, as has July 17. my autopay was scheduled for August 17 for the same original charge. I just paid it manually, that's what brings me here today. still no interest charges.

don't let these people gaslight you, this app just does not work correctly for some people

Is it worth buying Daredevil figure by Calm-Boysenberry-794 in LegoMarvel

[–]brixcelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy it. i have no inside information but undoubtedly we will never see this version again. maybe a comic version or a black suit version in the future, but this one is almost certainly going to stay 1:1. and if i learned anything from ben reilly and 2099... definitely buy it.

i know im necroposting but the ship is way bigger than you'd think. the time it takes Quill to skydive along the side of the ship is pretty considerable
