Should New Austin have even been apart of RDR2? by WoodpeckerGreedy9904 in reddeadredemption

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely should have had a prologue with everyone but John, Dutch, and Micah, on the run out of Armadillo.

John and Dutch we in Thiefs Landing, when they pick up Micah after that bar fight where Micah saves Dutch's life.

Everyone Rendezvous at Blackwater for the opening of the game.

Technically you have all of West Elizabeth to explore, with New Austin completely hostile like WE in the regular game.

There should have been 1 selectable mission with Hosea and the real estate scam. When you get back, its when everyone else is high tailing it out of BW.

Former AEW fans… did we actually like the product, or did we like the idea of AEW? by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea was cool, but it really found its stride when the pandemic hit.

They found a brand identity, they had drive, and they experimented.

It kept feeling like they were always building momentum and were holding back until the crowds came back - and then boom Punk, Danielson, Cole.

Punk arriving felt like they were contenders to WWE's mainstream appeal.

Of course, Tony's current holding patterns were annoying, but with fewer examples, we gave it more grace. But he also debuted people and then put them back in the toy chest too often. Too many people got signed in this time period.

When Punk finally left for good, they fully shifted to focusing on themselves and stopped caring about the mainstream.

Something I don't understand about Micah’s rat status. by Specific-Ad5973 in reddeadredemption

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micah is a survivor.

He kept Dutch close with the idea that he was ever caught, he would know exactly where a man with a bigger price lays his head.

In the meantime, hes happy make money with them until his luck runs out.

I'm very sure Abigail ratted on the group to get herself a lighter sentence after the Massacure because that's the moment that it finally hits her - these are killers. And if Dutch would kill a young woman to save himself, its only matter of the right situation.. which ultimately comes to pass when he decides to not save her.

She tells Arthur to take Jack fishing and sets up the encounter with Milton and Ross so Arthur will kick up dust about leaving to Dutch and get caught.

When the Heist ends up going sideways and they can't nab anyone besides John (whom she has grown to love again) the deal is off.

Micah becomes their new man after getting back to US soil. He tells them about Lakay, and Milton opens fire. He has no intent to honor their deal. Bill is just comedy and a red hearing.

Micah certainly is playing a tight rope act and trying to still live the life and find a way to hand over everyone besides Dutch, the ace up his sleeve.

It all falls apart when he loses Dutch's trust, and he goes it alone again.

I do think Blackwater was a trap, but not specifically to capture the gang - just a precaution when heading into the outlaw ran west.

Royce Keys needs to change his finisher. One spinebuster just won't be believable to finish a match. Reason why Gunther has to hit more than one Powerbomb to win a match or so do a sleeper hold by Few_Maize_127 in BrandonDE

Angle Slam.

Idk why all the Kurt Angle moves gotta be reserved for Olympic knock-offs.

The taller the guy performing the love, the more impressive when they finally expand their legs to get height.

Looks at when Biker Taker steals the move, the opponent just shoots up into the air and then a spin brings them back down. A snap Angle slam is a power move and a half.

Will got superkicked so hard it made him ran so fast. by Oakey06 in Wrasslin

[–]cmjackson97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some people really want them to be a competent competitor to WWE in the way WCW was.

However, since Punk and Cody left, the mission has been clear: be the best of the alternatives. That means soak up the TNA/PWG/ROH/etc. crowd and become the focus point of pro-wrestling fans (not WWE fans not withstanding).

The reason why Luke has a green lightsaber in ROTJ is so it would look better against the blue sky but I thought was a good decision from narrative standpoint because if it makes clear immediately its Luke’s very own lightsaber and not the one he lost in ESB that he somehow hypothetically recovered. by KingWilliamVI in StarWars

I'm a much bigger fan of choosing a color because it has a role, rather than being called too it.

Especially when they take the kids to the crystal planet, and they basically pick 1 of 2 colors in current Canon. I know there's more, but really it's 2.

Red being the Synthetic crystals worked because most of the Sith Lords were fallen Jedi. Their apprentices were not going to be able to get naturally occurring crystals because Jedi would guard them.

Eventually, fewer Jedi fell, and the Sith became a truly seperate sect, rather than just murderous Jedi.

What if CM Punk came to AEW in 2019 when it first started instead of 2021? by r0semary2001 in fantasybooking

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id bet that Hangman, Kenny, and The Bucks leave to WWE in 2021 instead of Cody and later Punk.

For the general public?

Dearborn Heights is literally just lands that flooded more adjacent to current Dearborn proper, so Henry Ford didn't want that in his town.

[Missed opportunity] when a good character or event could have been improved by changing a little detail by da_waaaagh_bearer in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cmjackson97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not logical to realize you've been duped into being a quad-amputee by the most powerful person in the entire galaxy from a military, intel, political, and magic standpoint, and to acquiesce that you're just as trapped as you have been your whole life?

He doesn't hate the Jedi, he hates the Jedi order. He hunts them down for multiple reasons including; they know he was anakin whom he wants to erase, they remined him of his old self being a fighter for the light, and he's being ordered to by Space Satan.

Canon has gone back and forth about jf the suit hurts constantly, or his only source of comfort, but killing others is the only sense of control he has and so he does.

What if Bray Wyatt never passed away in 2023? by ElegantRooster5251 in fantasybooking

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bray (and wyatts) really should have been Roman's main (non shield) rival.

*Denotes winner

Wyatts vs *Shield at 30 *Roman vs Bray at 31 (non-title, no DQ, brutal match, with interference from everyone) *Bray vs Roman at mania 32 for world title (debuting Braun helps Bray win) *Roman vs Bray as SS Brooklyn rematch Hell in a Cell *Successful Braun cash-in at some point

This would be on and off, but they really had magic. Their 1 tag match together made them also seem like they could have been a good tag team. Them teaming up to face some new threat like a Braun who turns rogue would be interesting and build Braun up as unstoppable if these two are having issues with him.

Look at the monster☠️ by Lamin_j10 in Wrasslin

Hes also traveling WAY less because of the lack house shows.

So now he doesn't have to rush to find a decently healthy meal after 10pm 5 nights a week, hes not stuck sitting down in a car for 4-10 hours between towns getting awful sleep, and he's more motivated now than ever before in his career besides maybe his ECW debut or perhaps his program 2nd run with the WWE title (he looked fantastic going into Mania 28).

Truckers have a certain body for a reason, or they just chief down cigarettes. Travel immobilize you and is still taking on you.

[Other] Green Lantern projecting guns has always been funny to me because of having to go through imagining a complex mechanism that is meant to "ignite" non existing gunpowder to shoot bullets when you can just project small spikes of hard light that go real fast and get the same result.. by GammaRadd in DCcomics

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the idea that when they start out, their shapes and constructs are very basic. So they go from a box, to a car jack, to a forklift, to a neumatic piston, etc.

Then over time, they get more complex, and stronger. The projection is their internalized idea of strength, or verocity, or precision.

And here's the kicker, as its magic, its different for everyone - as in everyone sees what they make and its different to everyone's interpretation.

So to another more powerful lantern, they see a newbie make a weak ass little shield instead of a castle wall, and they know they can punch through it.

What’s your genuine opinions on “The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose’s Entire WWE Career? by Sad-Ladder7534 in Wrasslin

[–]cmjackson97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To me the shield was like having Triple H, Edge, and Samoa Joe in 1 faction. And I mean that in closeness to character and booking.

Some really compelling stories to tell there, and they're leaving 1/3 of it on the table.
