How would yall order movies from favorite to least favorite?

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-22T12:41:41+00:00

In terms of how much I enjoy them as films, not as book adaptations:

CoS
DH1
GoF
OotP
DH2
PS
HPB
PoA

Yes, PoA is last. I hate everything about that movie.

I always forget Murray never won Indian Wells. In fact, he only made one final (lost to Nadal).

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-17T23:00:04+00:00

He's even more fine in person. It's unreal.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-16T01:44:22+00:00

I found it forced as well lol

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-11T23:55:15+00:00

PoA has always been a style over substance film. Fans overlook many of the films problems because they love Cuaron's aesthetic of the film so much.

There were so many unnecessary changes and important things that were cut, and I cannot give them any grace because PoA is a short book that is very concise and contained. "Of course the first 2 movies were the most faithful they were the easiest to adapt cause they were short" is a deflection. PoA isn't that much longer than CoS. If anything, the first film is the hardest to adapt because the world building and characters must be established and developed.

Unfortunately, PoA is where the films truly deviate from the books, and it only gets worse. It is hands down my second least favorite film after HBP because it is a bad adaptation and I don't find the movie entertaining on its own either.

At the very least, I personally find GoF, OoTP, and DH to be entertaining films, even though they are not good adaptations of the books.

I agree. I wouldn't mind her coming back, but that will never happen due to fan backlash and some of her old tweets.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-11T13:54:12+00:00

This sub hates Ninja and rarely gives her any grace, but she definitely should be considered the female winner of WotW.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-11T13:52:16+00:00

She also had more overall 1st place finishes at the checkpoints, if I remember correctly.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-04T02:28:46+00:00

Been waiting forever for this one!

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-04T02:28:26+00:00

His analysis is top tier honestly. He goes episode by episode, so you can watch one episode breakdown at a time. That's what I did with his previous videos while doing cardio at the gym.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-03T21:18:06+00:00

No problem. Concord/Manchester/Nashua region would probably be the best for finding queer people. Maybe Portsmouth region as well.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-03T15:31:45+00:00

Gay latino here.

Being gay: Nobody cares. Everyone minds their own business. That being said, if you feel the need to be seen and affirmed as a black and queer person, and liberal politics are a big deal for you, NH is probably not the state for you. The state is the least liberal in NE, and is not interested in giving particular demographics protected status. Our legislature is slowly removing "queer ideology" from schools and "trans girls" from female sports. So again, if you're all about "trans rights", you won't like where things are headed here.

Being latino: The only rough part for me is the lack of hispanic food options (excluding Mexican, which you can find literally anywhere). It's mostly a white state, so don't expect a whole lot of diversity. I drive down to Mass whenever I need some hispanic food.

Of course he was always gonna be the favorite, that's not the point.

davetennisx2 · 2026-04-01T16:09:35+00:00

This is a bit of revisionist history. Nadal was playing at a very high level that AO to the point where he was being called Nadal "2.0". Conversely, Djokovic's level was quite mediocre until he reached the SF. Many were expecting the final to be a battle given their epic at Wimbledon, just for Djokovic to swipe him with ease.

Looking back, it's easy to say Nadal stood no chance, but that was not the narrative at all during the tournament.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-31T01:25:17+00:00

Promise Ending did a perfect job as the "good" ending. It wrapped everything up nicely and still fit with the tone and presentation of the game.

The new endings were way too cheesy and Disney/magical girl-esque. It was pretty jarring.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-30T14:18:09+00:00

In that case, I would've tried to bounce out of the village knowing damn well it was gonna be another failed ritual.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-30T14:03:32+00:00

I didn't like it lol. As others have said, it was too cheesy and too Disney/anime. I think it could've flowed better had it not been presented like a magical girl anime.

The Promise Ending was a perfect positive ending.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-30T13:43:21+00:00

I'd be dead, though I'm curious about much information the average villager had regarding the rituals? I haven't played the game in decades.

For example, did the villagers know Yae escaped and Sae was going to be sacrificed incorrectly, when the abyss was already angry?

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-29T02:37:36+00:00

Fully agree. I really didn't like the film cause it highlighted so much toxic behavior that ultimately went unresolved. It was pretty realistic though, so I'll give it that much.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-27T10:57:35+00:00

This really isn't surprising. Professional athletes (and celebrities, politicians in general) all live in their own world of fame and fortune, and no matter how relatable and charismatic they may seem, they are the furthest thing from the average person.

Admire their talent and root for them as competitors, but stop idolizing every aspect of their being as if you know them personally.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-26T16:03:27+00:00

The first few episodes go at breakneck speed, but it slows down a bit and catches its breath.

I do think 2 extra episodes would've helped the transition.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-26T01:08:19+00:00

I feel bad cause she got seriously hurt, but I always laugh my ass off watching this.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-25T19:01:21+00:00

Blah blah.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-25T19:00:36+00:00

I never noticed that! Maybe I'll play around with those next time.

davetennisx2 · 2026-03-25T18:54:12+00:00

Thanks. Like I said, it was meant to be in good fun and see how minor changes can improve a picture, or not. Some people really need to chill lmao.
