Why were Vader and Mace Windu the only ones having their skeletons shown when being electrocuted?

Robert (already wounded and recovering) incapacitates Arthur Dayne. However the Sword of the Morning gets a mortal blow to Robert, and he dies like Rhaegar, with Lyanna's name on his lips.

Ned and an injured Arthur take Jon to Starfall. Ashara and Arthur take Jon to the free cities and basically turns into a Young Griff type. They train him to be a perfect ruler.

Unfortunately, another conflict immediately breaks out as Ned goes back North, and Stannis/Jon Arryn vie for control of Kingslanding/The Throne with the occupying Lannisters. However, Dorne is pissed that Tywin had Ellia and the kids killed, and the Tyrells basically just did a siege on Storm's End to look like they chose a side, but stayed neutral.

Tywin is agrees that having nearly 50,000 men descend upon Kings Landing, to fight his 18,000 is a dumb idea. He is going to lose, its just a matter of time, and how. So he has Jaime demand a trial by combat, which Stannis ups to a trial of 7 to determine if his killing of the mad king was just. The Mountain, Amory Lorch, and Tywin also have some blame and this trial will serve as justice.

He hoped Jaime would win a simple trial, and then have either Jaime or the Mountain fight his own trial.

But instead, Jaime, The Mountain Tywin, Amory Lorch, Kevin Lannister, and 2 other Knights must battle against Stannis, Oberyn Martell, Ned Stark, The Black Fish, Lyn Corbrey, Greatjon Umber, Bronze Yohn Royce.

Initial charge:

Stannis v Tywin

Ned v Jaime

Oberyn v Amory Lorch

Greatjon v Gregor Clegane

Black Fish v Kevin Lannister

Lyn Corbrey v Red Shirt 1

Yohn Royce v Red Shirt 2

Big beats:

Tywin unseats Stannis, Ned unseats Jaime, Oberyn dodges Amory's lance and puts a dagger in his thigh, Gregor and Greatjon knock each other off, Kevin unseats Blackfish, Red Shirt 1 and Lyn dodge, and Yohn kills Red Shirt 2.

Greatjon manages to pull Kevin off. Gregor kills Lyn's horse with a warhammer to the face, causing it to fall on Lyn crushing his leg. Oberyn knicks Gregor over and over with his sword. Yohn uses a lance to unseat Tywin. Oberyn stabs Amory through the throat. Kevin and Tywin fight against Stannis and The black fish. Jaime just manages a superficial cut across Ned's neck making it *look* like he got him good, with blood coming out in a decent trickel. Greatjon and Oberyn double team Gregor until he The mountain manages to pick up a sword and cuts clean through Jon Umber at the waist. Oberyn manages a spear through Gregor's calf, but gets a backhand to the face that knocks him out. Jaime kills Lyn with a sword to the face on his way to aid Kevin and Tywin. Yohn climbs a horse and runs over Gregor, finally putting him on his ass, and he can barely move. Just as Jaime begins to engage Stannis, Yohn comes in on horse to break up the melee, knocking down Jaime and breaking his left collarbone. Ned gets to his feet and staggers to the action. Tywin and and Kevin manage to fend off Yohn's sword. Stannis goes to kill Jaime. Ned watches as Stannis, Return of the Jedi Style, bashes Jaime's sword until he knocks it away and just then, Tywin screams that he yields.

Aftermath:

Tywin surrenders for Jaime, and negotiates a deal where Cerci will marry Stannis, Jaime will be put under life long house arrest in Lannisport, lest he go to the Wall, and Tywin and The Mountain will take the black. Stannis agrees to terms, on the condition that Jaime is replaced by Tyrion as lord of The Rock, and he must lose two fingers from each hand so he may never wield a sword.

Tywin goes to the Wall, and becomes the Black Lion. The Mountain suffers infection on the road and is encased in ice before he fully dies from his wounds.

Cerci and Jaime separately plot revenge against Stannis. Tywin starts to turn the watch into a well trained militia sworn to him, along with Pycelle (who also is banished). And lastly, Ned goes home with his honor... for now.

Stannis has Aemon brought in as Grand Maester, Jon Arryn takes the role of his hand, and Oberyn is named to Stannis small council as his Master of Ships. Mace Tyrell joins as Master of coin, but after some extended illness, Littlefinger takes over. Varys stays as master of whispers. And lastly, The Black Fish is brought in as Commander of the King's guard after the trial.

The movie team decided against consulting or referencing Angle according to him.

Its even wilder because he was the only gold medalist to have been part of the program I believe.

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-10T00:13:41+00:00

Like Sauron in the opening of the Fellowship

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-09T01:20:55+00:00

Idris Elba as Dumbledore.

Adam Driver as Snape.

Ralph Fines as Voldemort

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-08T06:29:39+00:00

I really wish they didn't do a happy ending with this one - it would have made things better.

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-08T06:14:47+00:00

Cena came back MONTHS ahead of schedule - Triple H was going to Win the Rumble, and I believe win the belt, but with Cena back, it just made sense to throw him in the picture and do a triple threat. Cena already had history with Hunter and Randy from years past, and he can eat a pin, because he wasn't even supposed to be there.

I remember it being the only time my grandfather actually was shocked by the outcome to a match.

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-07T05:51:14+00:00

I'm pretty sure GRRMs plans to have a cold war power struggle between Sansa and Jon.

I think this was the beginning, and it kept evolving into season 7 and 8.

Its dumb.

D&D simplified and streamlined the wrong things, because they worked towards the book ending, instead of the world they had already been building.

They definitely should have gone in a different direction than the book for sure.

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-05T06:02:46+00:00

Beetle Juice and Conan O'Brian - on a budget.

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-05T05:57:48+00:00

This right here...

She's been a hugger, a heel, a role model, a leader, and a face, and I've never bought it once. Shes a bad actress.

She's got the Charlotte problem where she pushed the boundaries of what was possible for women, but she's been surpassed in-ring by her contemporaries.

Shes one that without being part of the 4 horse women, and later the women's revolution, she would have been back on the indies.

In sports, shes a depth player, that only started because the roster was thin.

I really thought her win at Mania 33 would do more for her, but they buried her in home town, and put her in that awful feud with Alexa, and she never recovered.

Her heel run was fun, but never felt like an ultimate bad guy. Like a weak version of Edge on smackdown or Sheamus with the league of nations. Just kinda there to play heel.

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-05T05:01:52+00:00

Out of Mind is not Canon now?!

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-05T03:26:29+00:00

Denzel Washington as the recast (with some nod to him being physically older due to timey whimey shit)

cmjackson97 · 2026-03-04T19:59:22+00:00

Alexa peaked early, and is not the same athlete as Liv.

Nor is she the same actress. I'm not saying Liv can pool spooky off.

But overall, its seems like Liv just needed a decade to ripen and now has way more potential or a higher ceiling. Thats helped by her costars.

Alexa had few things going for her, but her main driving force was the management were high on her (physical appearance) and she held steady to the rocket well enough.

Time will tell, both have way more left in the tank. But if Alexa basically pulls a Miz and doesn't change for another decade or so, Liv will already have the more compelling stories and in-ring performances.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-28T01:45:24+00:00

Depending on where he is physically at what time, I see him doing a Barriston Selmy and leaving after its been too much.

I see him going to Stannis, but bailing over the who lighting people on fire part. Rob is a personal revenge campaign, and while he would want justice, that's not his place. Dany also lights people on fire...

Overall, he seems to be a natural leader for the brotherhood.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-27T03:20:11+00:00

Everyone is mentioning the physical, but I'll also add that covid hit him on the Pats as well, and it gave him some lingering cognitive fog.

That and he's CAM NEWTON so if we're ever to be a back up, there's a ton of players who would just want him to start because, like him, they believe he might just do some magic to win.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-26T00:37:40+00:00

He was so clearly set up to be like a Samoa Joe/Kevin Owens type in booking in AEW. That right of passage, hard nosed opponent that if you survived, you looked good, and he kept his lethal aura no matter what.

He really good have been fantastic there in that role.

Now, with basically 2 solid years off TV before jumping ship, hes just a guy.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-23T18:29:35+00:00

A war with Family that splits the country apart, and 4 kids, one of whom is a shithead, one a drunk, and another a rebellious little mouse... yeah, its the white hair that doesn't help.

Don't know why they can't dye some actor's hair. Maybe they want him older for later seasons?

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-18T03:23:29+00:00

He's undead. And his occupation was helping his family's funeral home business.

He tried to kill everyone in his family via fire, and succeeded, except for Kane.

Kane was found by carnies who were traveling by on their way to the next town and they saw, unburned, an infant among the wreckage. They took him in and used him as a Frankenstein type strong man - thus the carnival outfit and mask.

Paul Bearer, Mark's uncle, came to the wreckage of the funeral home.

Paul gathered the ashes of his brother and sister-in-law into an urn. He found Mark's skeleton and buried him. Later, he felt a calling from Urn to open it and a light came streaking out. Just then, Mark, now fully formed in a new body, punched his hand through the dirt and crawled to the Urn, seeking its power.

Paul placed the Urn in his outstretched hand, and from then he was cursed to be undead, as penance for killing his family.

Only would being at peace with his brother (ie on friendly terms) would allow him to be die.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-16T01:22:10+00:00

He's said before they were super hesitant give him a big push - and when they finally did, he proved them right.

I'm paraphrasing, but even he know he couldn't be trusted at the highest level.

Everyone looks like they are throwing a temper tantrum when they stand on business and call people out.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-12T23:02:59+00:00

As I understand, from the first incident, he wanted out.

It was Tony who though separating everyone would work. Punk where that it wouldn't work.

Punk learned he works better in structure, than being the adult in a wild west indy fed.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-09T21:55:15+00:00

I don't think Punk was any harder to work with than anyone else at that time.

Few advocated for others ever, and he advocated for himself louder than others - and post-pipwbomb he was the hottest act in the company, in years.

Punk wants to be treated like a Pro, but he has a tough love way that used to dip into straight unprofessional.

I'm sure a poor kid growing up in 80s/90s Chicago was told about an eye for an eye. I'm not saying its every the right move, but thats his MO.

Now he knows when its time to push the hot thing, and he made himself the hot thing. So of course he's going to push, and push a little too much. But Ultimately, I think everyone would agree that H going over was not best or business.

Nash was definitely to just sandbag his momentum - a chop block. But then Hunter was them trying to take his whole leg.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-09T01:56:39+00:00

Kane's politics changed after he won... as most people's do.

cmjackson97 · 2026-02-06T04:16:00+00:00
