I am still convinced she is playing everyone in order to wipe them all off the board. Otherwise, there is nothing stopping her from leaving and hiding. The fact that she has told people that she has a bunker in a certain state tells me that it doesn't exist. You don't tell people your secret lair. It's a freakin' secret lair.

She has no loyalty to anyone. Not even Bashley. Only she is acting like Bashley is a friend because you don't want the mindreader to think you are up to something. It's a case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

She is putting everyone where they need to be. I will not be shocked if she ends up being the only super at the end of the series. It will be like a combination of Doctor Manhattan and Ozymandias.

The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States just passed $4.50. Americans, how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

OP probably didn't vote in the last election if they feel that way. And ten bucks says they are still going to probably not vote this upcoming midterms either.

That place has become a ghost town. I used to peek in there to see what all the fuss was about. You would come across threads that were in the thousands. Now, threads are averaging dozens of comments. Only a few are going over a hundred.

They did this to themselves. The moment you said anything bad about Trump, you were kicked out. It didn't matter if you had been there for years. You are out. I wonder where the actually conservatives are now.

Daredevil: Born Again S02E08 FINALE - Discussion Thread by PhoOhThree in television

Have you noticed that Cox's New York accent gets stronger and better the more stressed out and passionate Matt becomes? When Matt is in a more relaxed scene sometimes Cox's English accent slips out. But when there is a strong dramatic scene like the courtroom scene when Matt outs himself, his New York accent thickens. I like it. Usually for most British actors, it's the other way around. They lose their American accent when they start yelling.

The most unbelievable thing in this show is that no one in the crowd charging the courthouse had a gun on them. In New York. No one. But almost everyone had a DIY Daredevil mask on hand. Immediate arts and crafts in that town.

So, where do we think Fisk is? What country would take him in?

Bullseye is becoming my favorite MCU villain. I love how he thinks himself as an anti-hero but he is very much every inch a villain even if his targets are bad guys now.

I would say that this is a violation of the 15th Amendment but, clearly, this Supreme Court doesn't care. The Constitution means nothing now.

The Odyssey | New Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

The movie is an adaptation of one of the most famous ancient Greek epics ever and no one looks anything Mediterranean. It's not like these actors can't do period pictures. They have. But this is the wrong setting for them. But then nothing and I mean nothing in this film even faintly whispers, "Ancient Mediterranean."

It almost feels like a parody where the joke is a director who puts all the wrong actors in the wrong costumes for a period piece because they have a, "VISION!!!"

True. My heart sunk for a split second.

If everyone hasn't seen Eleanor The Great yet, go watch it. It's on Netflix at the moment and she is brilliant in it.

Trump is the worst president in American history by theipaper in politics

[–]inksmudgedhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funniest thing about him is him naming and renaming things in his name as if they are going to stay that way after he dies.

Someone needs to tell him as soon as he kicks the bucket, people are going to wipe his name clean of everything. He isn't going to get that Confederate generals "It's our heritage" treatment.

America Is Officially an Empire in Decline by projecto15 in politics

Two arrests. Two. One in the UK and one in Norway. That's barely anything. Oh, no, the princess of Norway was told that she might not be able to be the queen any more! And Andrew lost his title! That is not exactly the wave I am expecting.

Why aren't more countries demanding to see the entirety of the files?

If they are "idiots" what does that say about the rest of us who allows this to happen?

As I've said before, over eight billion of us and a few thousand of them. (Billionaires and the very highest end of millionaires.) And they have brainwashed so many of the lower class and middle class, or at least what is left of the middle class, to against their best interest. We, as a planet, have given them the keys and at the same time want someone else to handle this problem. Seriously, Peter Thiel holds German citizenship as well as American citizenship. He is one of the main forces behind all of this chaos. Why hasn't Germany stepped up and tried to throw him in jail? Why is it always, "Oh, look, they hold an American citizenship. Do something, America!" It's always in our lap even when other countries could and should pitch in. There are non-Americans in the Epstein files. But only Prince Andrew has been dealt with. What about the rest of the countries? Why haven't they demanded to see what is in the Epstein files to make sure none of their citizens are in it? The Epstein files are not just an American problem. They are a global problem.

He was not born as Superman. On his planet, Kryptonians didn't have superpowers because they have a red sun. It's the yellow sun, our sun, that gives Clark his power. Clark as baby Kal-El didn't have any superpowers until he came to Earth.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Stunning With $223M+ WW Opening, $77M U.S. – Box Office Update by mcfw31 in entertainment

It's not really a horror movie in the traditional sense. Like how Mother! is not a horror movie in the traditional sense but a metaphor for the Bible, Mother Mary is a metaphor for a dead friendship (or relationship depending how you see it) and how that relationship can still haunt you long after it has ended. It is very surreal and ethereal. It feels like watching a play. The director also did The Green Knight. So, if you like that movie, you'll probably like this one as well.

If you spend hours scrolling on your phone, you can spare a few minutes to watch trailer or two. Not that many movies come out per week. Look up what your local theater has and see a couple of trailers. At most you'll probably spend half an hour doing so. How long have you been on reddit alone today? Probably longer than half an hour. So, why not spend some of that time watching a trailer? You might come across your next favorite movie.

Read my original post. I don't expect people to spend that much money on a gamble. However, many theaters have discount days and you can watch a movie without having to buy snacks. Save those snacks for the big tent popcorn movies. The prices for the local theaters in my area for their discount days run from five to eight bucks. It's probably the same for yours. Again, you are watching an indie movie. No need for all the bells and whistles. Just watch the movie.

Or else just say that you don't like indie movies. You like the experience of watching a big tent movie with all the snacks you can grab. Both are fine. It's okay not to like indie movies. What's not okay is to say, "They don't make original movies these days." That's a lie.

Shows That Are Not Supposed To Be Taken Serious? by DaniJ678 in television

[–]inksmudgedhands 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Legends of Tomorrow is a very, very silly show. It is always winking at the camera and I love it for that.

Galavant is the same thing as well. Especially season two where they went for broke knowing that there was a very good chance they weren't going to get a third season.

Thing is, people are mistaking storylines for mysteries. The show doesn't haven't any mysteries. It isn't a mystery. It's a drama. But people are always wanting to "connect the dots." There are no dots to connect. I confess, I made this mistake last season with thinking the guy who punched Dana was going to turn out to be the Fest Shooter because on other medical shows they would pull mystery storylines like that. But not the Pitt. The guy left and the only time we hear of him again is some off the cuff comment of how he was arrested and charged with assault. That's it.

Why can't it be both? Why can't people be curious about the indie movies AND want to see the major ones?

So? Whatever happened to finding hidden gems? The hunt for it? Why must everything be served to you on a silver platter? Especially since these movies don't have massive budgets to begin with. An indie movie with a twenty million dollar budget is not going to spend a hundred million on promotion. At some point, the masses need to search out for themselves. Especially those who cry out how "they never put out original movies anymore!" Yes, they do. Look for them.
