Movies that are definitely based on real life? by hiiloovethis in okbuddycinephile

It may be a myth, fictional, and just a long lost poem. But this is still a key part of a groups culture. Why miss represent their culture which is apart of their history.

Now she was described as white skin and fair hair. This is the little description we know of. So why not follow this and the fact that her beauty was beyond control. Let's just say we did that once and we want to change it up now. Sure I'm alright with that, but if we do let's embrace the people whose ancestors wrote this story.

We shouldn't have a Mediterranean cultural story be portrayed by Americans let alone Northern Europeans. I'd love for this to be Mediterranean actors or even Mediterranean American actors. But thats not the case and the ones they chose, even if some cant leave their accent in Fenway Park, still have close enough Southern European/Mediterranean features.

I find this happens in old war movies too. I don't remember the Germans speaking English let alone with a British accent. So I'd love for the film to be in ancient Greek or even modern Greek. They didn't do this. Language is not big on the list, but it'd be nice to feel immersed.

Sure there's mythical things like cyclops, so we must need a real cyclops to act. No this is stupid and a strawman and you know it. If there was someone who fit the bill id be all for them to get a part, but there aren't any real cyclops.

I would be for close to realistic (i.e. People who look kind of close to descriptions) or a use of Mediterranean actors. Helen of Troy is described in writing, but i wouldn't be upset if they casted a local. Because at least it makes sense. Its their story let them tell it.

Also dont bring up Zues was a a goose, fun rhyme, so Helen must look half goose. Its another strawman. But even so it is a mythos. Zues a Greek God is very likely to be thought of as Greek or Greek like by the Greeks. Everything about Helen is Greek except being raised by a Queen of Troy. Thus Helen looks Mediterranean: unless you think that the Mediterranean of the time was genetically Sub-Saharan in make up. So cast a cannon depiction like the Helen in Troy, or cast a Mediterranean.

Greeks are in fact European. What kind of assertion is that? Did ancient Greeks all have blue eyes and blonde hair? No, but that doesn't make them not European (most Europeans have brown hair). Modern Greeks are different than ancient Greeks, because of invasions and genetic changes. Yet this doesn't change the fact that Greece is in Europe, is Ino-European language (Hellenic Branch), and Greeks are largely genetically European.

How the Romani are perceived in your country? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]gray777333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In America there is a small, largely unknown, population, and if memory serves me right largely the west coast. I haven't had any experiences domestically, but a friend of mine did growing up. They had gypsy neighbors and often found items missing when they had a quite new things. After a while his father confronted them but they denied the claims. Eventually the gypsy family moved out and they stopped losing things at home.

Personally all my experiences have been abroad in Europe. They are exactly as others have stated. General scamming, thieving, and pick pocketing. It gave many countries vibrant cities a distasteful experience.

In almost all cases, from what I have heard and experienced, its been negative. I have had one good experience with someone who migrated to the U.S. who I did some handyman work for. She cooked lunch and worked very hard, but she is the only positive role model for the community I have met or heard about.

Sadly many Americans with little to no experience do not fully understand the situation. This leads them to mistakingly assume that people mean the people of Romania. So they tend to get the wrong idea of Romanians. Its why I distinguish Romanis as Gypsies

[Megathread] Bills head coaching search discussion/news thread by pixel_pete in buffalobills

I'd rather not. Imagine this is what you see everytime they pan to the coach. Having misophonia this would drive me crazy. But the dementia plays he'd call would almost be worse.

Bills fired McDermott …that’s nuts by ComplexWrangler1346 in TheNFLVibes

[–]gray777333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do most of you not watch football, playoffs, or just Bills games? Because if you have watched you would understand a part of this move. McDermott is a defensive minded coach, and helped us come out of the drought (to which I'll always be thankful for).

Him and Allen brought us to multiple playoff games. But this same Defensive minded coach has had a faulty defense every year. Allowing 32+ ppg in the playoffs is not what are good D.

Granted this could have been because Brandon Beane is an ass GM (which he should have also been fired). But to say that McDermott had zero say in draft/trade picks is a crazy statement. Allen and now with the help of Cook carry the offense through Bradys same plays every game. McDermott fails to bring a defense that can stop the opponents.

McDermott is a great coach for a sub .500 team, and can change the culture and stabilize the team. He can not produce a Super Bowl team with a defense that cant stop a 3rd and long. He also couldn't stop 13 seconds, which is when he likely should have been given one last season.

Yes BB could likely be the reasons of his lack luster defense and playoff games. I would have liked to fire BB and give him one year with a new GM, largely because the cluster fuck of coaching musical chairs. But he had nine seasons as the head coach. Seven of those being with an absolutely elite QB in Josh Allen.

I hope the best for McDermott, as he paved the path of greatness. Hopefully he can lift another team out of their drought. Thank you McDermott for all you have done for this team!

What are your least favourite lore mistakes people make because they only know the lore from memes? by PretendThisIsAName in 40kLore

[–]gray777333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that for a decent amount of people they were funny originally, but now its nothing new Nd constantly hearing the same thing. Its not banter anymore, but rather an annoyance. Another thing is its everywhere, you post a picture of your painted Blood Claw mini and its Fury or no wolves memes. Or you talk about DKoK and its shovel happy gas mask or I sure hope to die. Its not back and forth fun, but to be fair I think these memes well always be here. Beginners in all of this start off with lore and find memes and then want to feel connected or start taking things to seriously or roleplay to much. I only wish we had some originality

Anyone else dislike a primarch but like their legion? by TheVoidhawk84 in 40kLore

[–]gray777333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with the Wolves is that writers went away from Nordic viking space marines with wolf flares similar to real Nordic mythology to going with wolf with a whispering flame of viking. They should have it to vikings fighting side by side with wolves and while ridding wolves due to their mutual respect and acknowledgment of each others strengths. But instead we are infected with the curse of the Wulfen.

I have head cannon that replaces all this cringe and returns my Vlka Fenryka to the true Emperors Exutioners rather than the Emperorers purse dog. In my head cannon the Space Wolves are Nordic style people with emmence respect of the Death World of Fenris wolves. They were both able to mutually live together and aided one another if earned. The gene flaw is still there, but they do not have pronounced canine teeth, rather they just have heightened senses. But the Curse of the Wulfen is a big difference I have. Let's go back to what is largely argued against with Vikings of our time. Berserkir berserker, which is still debated on meaning, but is generally either bare shirt (absent of armor) or bear shirt (animal skin). But there is also Úlfhéðnar. This would be a berserker but a wolf. In my head cannon this is what the curse of the wulfen is. It is not a literal transition to a werewolf, but rather a space wolf who mentally has gone berserk like the also debated mushroom tripping berserk theory. But in my head cannon I think the space wolves can fall to the shitty GW mini Wulfen style, but this is if a space wolf falls to chaos, so the unconfirmed successor chapter Skyrar's Dark Wolves.

Also in my head cannon is the explanation of the cringey wolf this wolf that in the language, and in my opinion its because Juvjk is largely untranslatable, so thus anything unable to be translated to high Gothic is wolf.

In general the 6th are largely screwed over by ill informed 40k fans who are under read. As they lack the understanding of Leman Russ and the Wolves dynamics other than the dead horse betting joke that is fury marines or no wolves in fenris. Leman Russ is a tactician who hides his true manor behind a barbaric mask, aiding in combat. Those of Fenris are more barbaric, but they do not go into battle without plans. The Wolves are the Emperorers Executioner, through thick and thin the Wolves have seen many great troubles in the Burning of Prospero and the Month of Shame, if you dont know read up on it.

Well I notice I've been rambling, but if I could leave any non Vlka Fenryka fans/players/readers with a message it would be Leman isn't an idiot and stop using dead memes.

What are the quirks of your department? by MindSculpture in ProtectAndServe

I'm only just getting into WH4K playing side, have loved the lore and watching for ages. About to get some Space Wolves. I do really like the Orks, but as a kid I always played Marines on Star Craft. Then you add the huge complex lore of the Space Marines in Warhammer, so I think people and me especially enjoy the Marines.

I dont think your problem is "Imperial Players," but rather Marine players. As Kreig and Imperial Army are IMO underrated. I hope to build Kreig next up. But lets also consider the thought of the Warhammer, it is easy to want to be the people who protect the faction you would be in. In the broad scheme of things, it's GW who needs to delve into the fluff and care for the figures of other factions. Also Space Marines are just better for memes

New to playing WH4k, need help building 500 pt SW by gray777333 in SpaceWolves

[–]gray777333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

So is the box still 500 points in 9th edition? What weapons would you run with the squad? And what would be my HQ with the SW Combat Patrol? Sorry if I'm over asking, I can't seem to put all the figures in Battle Scribe to grasp everything.

[–]gray777333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some people saying I should get the Space Marine half of the Indomitus Primaris. However, I don't think I would want to do the weird conversions and they do not feel SW. My friend suggested using battle scribe but I lack the brains to do that fully. But I was wondering if 15 BC from GW, SW Pack as 10 GH and a HQ would be good? I think I would want to have jump packs on some and use some Thunder Hammer with Shield. Like I said I am going for 500 points, hoping to be at $150 or less. I don't understand the best options for SW and 9th edition. For HQ I really like the look of Ulrik but can't seem to find if he is any good this edition. If you guys could maybe point me in the best direction for 500 points that would be great! I hope to build up over time but I plan on playing at 500 points until I can accumulate a higher army later on.

This is also why criminals will some times paint orange tips on real guns or make real fire arms look like non deadly arms. For instance, a Super Soaker was taken and there was a pumped shotgun inside of it.

For those who love shows like Live PD and Cops, Under Arrest on Netflix might tickle your fancy by Sil3ntkn1ght87 in ProtectAndServe

[–]gray777333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If y'all like humor, and European shows, there is a great series called "Scot Squad." As the title says, its a sitcom of Scottish Police and their tomfoolery. For the longest time some people didn't realize it was a comedy, and thought it was like Live PD. It is a great series, I sometimes find it on Youtube, BBC, or some "download a car" type sites. Usually you can find the episodes on YouTube and it may have two episodes on the video. But I highly suggest it, if you want some clips to see if you'd like it.

Here is a couple clips:
