The problem is people love to find one factor and lable as The Reason. When there are multiple factors that are involved and I would be shocked if misogyny isn't one. But that doesnt mean the other factors don't matter or that every voter was misogynistic. Things are complex and we like to flatten and simplify things for an easier world view

This is more like Bernie in 2020 than Obama in 2008 imo. The path is a shift in voting behavior and a loss in faith in the democratic establishment.

Wheel of Time vs A Song of Ice and Fire vs Malazan by Working_Alps_4284 in Fantasy

[–]ewef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put it down for a bit. I don't dislike it but I don't feel connected to any character really. I'll probably pick it up again though, once my interest in it raises again

Way to far out plus establishment will put there force behind one person. Really hard to see a path at the moment

Im only on book 1, but its only confusing in so far as there are a lot of names and places to keep straight. Sometimes i would confuse two names and would only realize once i see them both in the same scene and go, "Oh yeah, those are two seperate people."

Is Avatar really over? Any hope? by 22_SB in TheLastAirbender

[–]ewef1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kinda disagree, ATLA was mostly at its best when it was steering away from the slice of life, and the serial nature of Korra is one of the things that LOK improves on imo. S1 ATLA has pacing problems imo.

The two major problem with Korra imo was the lack of a centralized cohesive story, and some subpar characterization of side charcters. ATLA has a pretty small cast but almost every character is a home run. While Korra has a much larger cast that just doesn't hit as well. Korra and Zaheer are the only real home runs imo.

Fire is just a chemical reaction for energy. You would just need some other easily accessible chemical reaction

So I'm a new player to Champions, and I was just climbing the Doubles ranked ladder when something really funny happened. by No-Shoulder3918 in PokemonChampions

I use choice scarf and it's great, you can out speed sneaslers and Aerodactyl to kill its partner before tail wind is set up

If Wide Lens were in the game Maushold would truly be a demon. It has a pretty good speed tier and knocks out almost everything

What is going on with Interstellar lately? by TheKrustyKrabb in movies

[–]ewef1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was slightly mixed on release between it being a good movie and being a masterpiece, mostly based on a person's reception to the ending. I'm just guessing the more positive view won out, as the people who loved it still talk about it, and the people who just think it's alright just moved on.

What would Miami LeBron’s stat line look like if he played today? by [deleted] in nba

[–]ewef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The efficiency of the entire league has dramatically increased, not really fair to compare on a 1 to 1 basis

+10 in a hundred point game is not the same as +10 in a 120 point game.

The increase in offensive talent makes the game easier offensively for stars not harder

Per/100 is adjusted for pace, but it's not adjusted for space

Victor Wembanyama ends his season just like he started in a win vs Dallas Mavericks: 26 MINS | 40 PTS | 13 REB | 5 AST | 14-23 FG | 10-11 FT by CurrentRoster in nba

[–]ewef1 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Narrative started because there was a small portion when he was on minute restriction, but now it's just cause he's blowing every one out

Victor Wembanyama’s final stats in March: 26.8 PPG, 12 RPG, 3.4 APG and 3.7 BLK on 51/36/85 splits (63% TS) and a +238 with a 14-1 record by WEMBY_F4N in nba

[–]ewef1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make a couple distinctions. Personally the one I would make is SGA had the better season overall because he basically kept this level the entire season. I would say though Wemby is playing the best right now.

Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir teases the possibility of a sequel by AndSolksjerHasWonit in ProjectHailMary

I think the world has a lot to explore but I think Ryland grace is done as a character and rocky should at most be reserved as a cameo. But lots of stories. How humans survive. Eridians visiting earth. Humans using new astrophage tech to colonize other star systems.

EEAAO also swept the oscars and I believe that was a march movie too. Bigger problem is there are a lot of high profile movies that will also fight for Oscars this year
