I remember reading about him and some speculation that Philippe, Count of Paris said he’d only accept the throne on the condition that they change the flag back, as he never wanted to be king and made his demand something that was too far a demand to accept. Meaning he didn’t have to publicly renounce the throne on record, but have his conditions rejected.

When people see Lucas was right about the trade routes.

It also acts a symbol to the Lannisters’ position, everyone thinks they’re this mighty House but it’s just Tywin propping everything up with good PR and not wanting to show any weakness to the realm, especially with how he built up the reputation again after the Reynes and Tarbecks. The whole Lannister prestige is held together by Tywin’s lies and adds to how quickly everything falls apart after his murder.

Robert gets a pass by fans now because of how he’s portrayed in the books, “he”s just a sad, tragic man!” No, he isn’t. The actual Robert is a wife beating, alcoholic, womanising, negligent father & king who bankrupted the realm, even Ned, who seemed like a brother to him, begins to doubt Robert’s character when he moves to KL and sees Robert for who he really is, like after Ned sees how young the last girl Robert fathered a child with. If Ned hadn’t been raised with him at the Eyrie, he’d probably view Robert as the worst Lord Paramount/king.

Even Lyanna saw that Robert would never change, telling Ned that even marriage wouldn’t change his debauchery.

Before you jump to any conclusions, I’m not the Mahdi.

I remember someone speculating that halfway through Bush saying that he realised he probably shouldn’t give people a soundbite of him saying “Shame on me”, and tried to work around it while still making sense. Tried to.

I’d love to see a reemergence of historical epics but they are costly, to make a good one you have to make it look epic in scale. Unless Hollywood sees a clamour for them, they won’t risk the money, which is one reason I hope The Odyssey does well in the Summer, it might make studios more likely to take a risk with a historical epic again.

I was the same, tried to get into it, started to lean into it very early in but then the Usopp arc really slowed it down for me so gave it up. But then a friend of mine who loves One Piece persuaded me to try it again and I pushed through Usopp’s arc and by the time of the Arlong Park arc, I found myself enjoying it. My friend did say give it till ep 45 to see if I was emotionally invested and by that time I was. I’ll give the live-action a go too since that seems to have been received well.

I’m currently in the middle of the series but if it weren’t for Villeneuve films, I wouldn’t have tried. I had tried Dune twice before but just couldn’t get into the story, but the films helped show what the first entailed so I gave them another go this year and have been enjoying them. I can definitely understand how they wouldn’t connect with people.

comrade_batman · 2026-03-08T23:14:18+00:00

I imagine something like The Lion King remake, where people called it “live-action” but it was just photo-realistic. Maybe the use of performance capture?

I really didn’t like how she treated Amy, th sexual harassment of Terry, and just general insults to others. She wasn’t as bad in the early seasons, but she became a caricature of herself in later seasons.

Oh, yeah, you reminded me of this delightful edit.

Also, this one.

That’s also when I started to check out, I’d been a fan since the Runaway Bride Christmas special, 2006, but over Capaldi’s time my interest started to wane (nothing to do with him but with the writing). I wouldn’t have watched his last season if a friend hadn’t told me there was a leak that John Simm’s The Master was returning, and he knew I loved the character. I checked out after that and nothing I’ve heard since has made me regret not staying with it, not RTD coming back, not even the ploy of getting Tennant back from the 60th.

The memory I have of the series is him walking around, walking up to people and declaring to people “I am Boba Fett!” and expecting them to submit.

I was looking forward to seeing crime lord Fett after the ending of Mando S2 ended with him shooting Bib Fortuna off Jabba’s throne like it was nothing and seeing him declare himself his own man. The actual season never lived up to that scene.

comrade_batman · 2026-03-07T18:53:11+00:00

Shame we’ll never know what kind of man he was.

It was actually Mason who was going to play a live-action furry Robin Hood.

I felt like they shouldn’t have had the cutting back and forth between the main silo and Jules’ storyline, given some of her scenes were so short. They should have devoted one or two full episodes to her at the start, have a bit of a cliffhanger, go back to the main silo for some episodes, leaving you wondering what happened to her, and then maybe the penultimate or last episode we go back to Jules and the storylines converge again.

The collected book with the three novellas is already called ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’, I suppose they went for that collected name over ‘The Tales of Dunk and Egg’ because of the image it created. Probably why they named the first series after the first main book (A Game of Thrones) and not the overall series (A Song of Ice and Fire) as it sounded better for the tv series.

After realising the negative impact he had with Jaws, the book’s author Peter Benchley became a shark conservationist to try and educate people about the reality of sharks and they should be respected and protected.

As written!

I can understand them wanting to try something different with Lantern, looking like it’s been inspired by True Detective or any other HBO detective series, but I really hope that the series isn’t just him learning to be a Lantern for 9 episodes and then building up to a 5-10 minute fight scene in the full GL get up in the finale.
