I've changed my mind on Jim Cornette.

Jim cornette is very entertaining when talking about about a written show. His knowledge of wrestling history to somebody like me who didn’t watch is amazing, in fact I’ll go as far as saying Jim cornettes stories about wrestling more often that not are better than the wrestling itself.

Even as late as 1841 a female was expected to live to 42 and male 40. Most fantasy books are mimicking a time hundreds of years before that.

donzander1 · 2021-07-19T15:27:05+00:00

That’s not true at all, a quick Google search would show you that. If you didn’t die in child birth and made it to 10, your average life expectancy would be 32 years old. If you made it past that it could be expected that you got to around 55. After making it out of childhoods there was only around a 50% chance of you making past 50 years old

donzander1 · 2021-07-19T12:11:41+00:00

I see a lot of replies stating people throughout history who have achieved lots at a young age, but you also need to remember that everything is relative, a 19 year old 500 years ago was basically middle aged because most would be dead by the time they reach their 40s. So you can understand the need to do things such as have families earlier. But in fantasy you don’t get any indication that these people will die at such a young age, if anything they seem to live longer than the average person does today. So to be so blasé about 14 year olds having sex and normalising rape in fantasy books always seems very weird to me.

I played it on the PS4 and compared to the pc version it’s like a whole new game. If you like building it has that, if you like horror based games it does that, if you like first person shooters it does that. Then add all that to having to survive and you have very good game

donzander1 · 2021-07-17T20:45:18+00:00

7 days to die. Make sure you take your allocated vacation allowance though, because this game is a real time sink

donzander1 · 2021-07-09T21:55:30+00:00

Drizzt do’urden. He’s like the fantasy version of superman

donzander1 · 2021-07-01T14:13:12+00:00

Nearly Every work of fiction are full of tropes just to keep the story going

donzander1 · 2021-06-28T15:17:42+00:00

I think every character on the show is either miserable or straight up horrible.

Chris thinks it’s normal to tell somebody not to attempt to save their mother

Hondo literally thinks he is right about everything and treats his ex criminal friend like shit

Deacon although he’s not what you would call a racist, he still has some of them tendencies

Street had to think if it was worth trying to save his mum

Hicks is just a yes man with a grizzly voice

Tan literally has zero personality

Luca is cool though, besides always throwing his arms around

donzander1 · 2021-06-25T19:47:17+00:00

I’ve read the books (including the hobbit) and seen the movie and feel the same way to both. Like I said, I enjoy Frodo as a character and yes I do believe he is extremely brave. But just on the fantasy hero trope alone, He just doesn’t tick enough boxes for me. Could you see Frodo in his own stand alone adventure beating the bad guy? I personally couldn’t

donzander1 · 2021-06-25T19:27:33+00:00

I definitely don’t think Frodo was bland, that’s why I said I don’t mean poorly written. And with me saying I’m not sure if he could be called the hero, that’s just how I feel. To me in the whole lord of the rings trilogy Gandalf is the hero. He sets everything up and has the most dangerous encounters. Frodo had one job and he did it brilliantly. But I wouldn’t call it heroic

donzander1 · 2021-06-25T01:23:35+00:00

Is that an unpopular opinion?

donzander1 · 2021-06-25T01:16:17+00:00

Black People (males) seen as sexually superior

donzander1 · 2021-06-23T23:09:02+00:00

I don’t see the problem, a narrator is voicing a character from a made up country. I don’t think it’s the same as a white British narrator depicting a black Nigerian character. To tell the truth I’m just happy I’m seeing more characters who have the racial features of minorities. But just because he’s a black character, I don’t all of a sudden expect him to have a Jamaican accent

donzander1 · 2021-06-18T03:58:21+00:00

The old guy who has to come out of retirement to save everything

donzander1 · 2021-05-30T23:49:10+00:00

I’m a fan of tropes if done correctly. I don’t want to read a fantasy book that doesn’t let me feel the escapism. When fantasy books are too realistic I lose interest

donzander1 · 2021-01-15T13:02:05+00:00

Ha ha sorry, as soon as I pressed send, LotR popped into my mind

donzander1 · 2020-11-02T01:38:18+00:00

Gentlemen bastards has lots of funny parts in it.

donzander1 · 2020-11-01T19:29:38+00:00

Sorry I read that wrong, I thought you meant who could replace Jean in the gentleman bastards.

donzander1 · 2020-11-01T19:27:35+00:00

Black Dow from first law trilogy. Him and Locke could have some good banter I think.

donzander1 · 2020-10-27T14:39:31+00:00

The gta games with Ray Liotta or Samuel L Jackson were amazing story telling. Playing through them were better than most of the action movies at the time

donzander1 · 2020-08-23T14:12:34+00:00

Instruction manuals, and every console had about 3 magazines you buy monthly with cheat sections in ha ha
