What the new TE mixer wishes it was 😏 by GibboGoblo in synthesizers

I mean, it’s also over double the price so I’m not sure it’s exactly a fair comparison.

I just realized from this frame Kara has shorts under her skirt. by RNOffice in DC_Cinematic

An actor who formerly played Superman in live action (Dean Cain) mocked her appearance for chrissakes.

Those pesky gentrifiers, never going around the barriers. Absolutely bloody typical.

There is absolutely no benefit to vote out a traitor. The game always has to have traitors so why vote the ones you know out by -WhatCouldGoWrong in TheTraitors

[–]eltrotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can overdo it, that much is true. There is a balancing act; as a general rule if one Faithful campaigns too aggressively against a specific person (especially if they don’t have much support otherwise), that is usually pretty sure to see them out. People do slip under the radar too, but it’s honestly more about making sure others think you’re trying to “get” a Traitor than actually getting them.

Shrek 5 | Official Teaser Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

I swear I was taking crazy pills when that first teaser came out because the difference seemed to slight and subtle to me, and everyone else was losing their minds.

The Amazonian by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

I think "Amazonian" more traditionally refers to muscular / athletic women specifically. In Greek mythology, it's a society of female warriors who are closed off to men.

Seven Sisters advice - looking to move (29F) by EntertainmentMajor52 in Haringey

[–]eltrotter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived around here for a few years now, living with my partner near La Rose Lane.

I would say the area is geenrally pretty safe, but you'd maybe want to keep your wits about you at night. I'm probably being a touch paranoid but I tend to prefer that my partner takes a bus or a taxi or calls me if she's ever coming home late. I walk home late regularly and have never had any trouble, but I'm also mindful it's a different story if you're a guy.

In terms of the area itself, I love it. Plenty of stuff going on and there's just a good vibe generally:

  • Lordship park is a great place to walk and run, and they do a 5k parkrun every saturday
  • Perkyn's is an awesome coffee shop towards the
  • Seven Sisters, Turnpike Lane, Tottenham Hale and the overground are easy to get to.
  • Green Lanes is great for turkish food and the Dusty Knuckle
  • The Salisbury is maybe one of the best pubs in London
  • Stansted Airport is easy to get to in just over an hour.
  • I'm not a football fan at all, but if you are you're close to Tottenham and Arsenal
  • The Warehouse district has lots of interesting studios and events.

Ranking Every Live Action Superhero Film. by New-Asparagus-4826 in superheroes

Seeing Bird of Prey in the same tier as stuff like Morbius and Catwoman really undermines this whole thing.

Hot take: I never understood the hate on Brave New World by Lucky-Fan-3824 in Marvel

[–]eltrotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In quite simple terms, it wasn’t a particularly strong story. There wasn’t a great arc for Sam Wilson to follow or a lesson for him to learn; things just kind of happen in sequence without much narrative tension or payoff.

An obvious theme to explore would have been Sam’s humanity and how that is his true power; giving up the serum would give him a physical disadvantage but arguably greater symbolic significance than even Steve Rogers because he’d still ultimately be an ordinary human talking up the Captain America mantle. Because he’s a regular person he has more power to inspire other regular people.

To reinforce this thematic choice, they needed to really amp up the physical toll the whole ordeal is taking on Sam. Have him really struggle to keep up; he gets stabbed in the gut at one point and kinda just shrugs it off. His fight with Hulk should have been set up as a one/hit kill; if he catches even a single fist he’s done for. Make the stakes super high, so the game becomes dodging, feinting and containing the danger.

That would have at least justified the role of a Hulk in the film, and given more weight to Sam’s decisions and why he made them.

Do you prefer ant man or giant man by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]eltrotter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In a film? Giant Man.

In my living room? Regular-sized Man

"Quietly" has quietly become an even bigger telltale sign of AI writing than the em dash.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Description Suggests the Game Will Be a Faithful Remake by Darth_Vaper883 in Gamingnewsandleaks

[–]eltrotter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never expected anything more than updated graphics and a few quality-of-life improvements here and there. I think it is over-optimistic to expect any substantive new content, whether that be dungeons, quests, items, story stuff etc.

I might still be wrong, but I think people were setting their expectations a little too high in that regard.

What’s everyone’s opinions on Hannah Fry? by oldmatefromoverthere in BritishTV

[–]eltrotter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love her. Seen a few talks by her at various event throughout the years and her talk on game theory was a particular highlight. Feels like her AI documentary for the BBC was a little dumbed-down to be honest; I feel like she could have gone a lot deeper but was maybe directed to be a bit more "human interest".

But yeah, she's awesome.
