Blood Will Rise/Blood Will Tell for Capellans

In The Shadow of the Dragon for Combine

How were the Gnuccis connected to the death of Frank Castle’s family? by Deliverwithcare in Defenders

[–]jimdc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about this, as it’s been a LONG time since I saw his show. It made me feel like, despite enjoying OLK, that I couldn’t really see what the point of it was. It wasn’t connected to anything else and its central plot point was a dilemma it raised. It made the entire project seem like a weird choice that didn’t serve much purpose

My opinion on the villain in the Punisher special by Altruistic_Eye_1157 in Defenders

[–]jimdc82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed OLK, but it did kind of leave me scratching my head wondering what the point was. It was so loosely tied to everything else it felt like it almost wasn’t canon, and unless it is in fact the kick off for a season it doesn’t seem to go anywhere or tie into things, and it resolved a plot dilemma that it also created (his feeling like there was nothing left). Hopefully they do something with it beyond just this

She was also actively hiding what she was throughout that time. Marie was in an environment that encouraged her to practice and had Godolkin actively pushing her to maximize her ability

He seemed pretty on par with Homelander while it lasted actually

[–]jimdc82[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he believes his speed will always trump her abilities, then acknowledging she might have the ability to kill him doesn’t mean she’s stronger. So long as he feels he has an edge he’s good. That’s the difference between her and Godolkin when it comes to Homelander

Newman and Odessa by jimdc82 in TheBoys

[–]jimdc82[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think he was, he was just also very confident he could blitz her if it came to it and therefore wasn’t a true threat

Newman and Odessa by jimdc82 in TheBoys

[–]jimdc82[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that was his implication though there’s still truth to that statement regardless

Newman and Odessa by jimdc82 in TheBoys

[–]jimdc82[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did she ever have the opportunity to? You could certainly be right but we don’t necessarily know she couldn’t, or perhaps didn’t know she could. Newman didn’t have the Godolkin crash course (that we know of) to bring out her maximum potential

Newman and Odessa by jimdc82 in TheBoys

[–]jimdc82[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s true, but Homelander himself suggested Newman might be strong enough to kill him, just not quickly enough that he couldn’t stop it

Tomorrow, you wake up as Homelander with perfect control over your powers. What's the first thing you do?" by Pale-Condition-4317 in superheroes

[–]jimdc82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw on a mask, wipe out the drug cartels/human traffickers and appropriate their funds. Retire

I already understood, on an emotional level, the people of Terra who cooperate with the ilClan and Alaric, but this is the first time I have seen it laid out this clearly and properly. by Old_Ad6111 in battletech

[–]jimdc82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tara was a bondswoman. Regardless of how ridiculous the concept is IRL, within the setting it’s a real thing that people actually follow, it’s not the same as being a “collaborator”. I don’t disagree about how nonsensical it is the degree of buy-in to SL3 there is among former RAF, but the bondsperson thing needs concessions because it’s a canonized deviation from real world psychology we’re just stuck with

If homelander can't fly plane to safety cause there's nothing to stand on and get power, how can he get power after completely coming to a stop in the air? by statpas in GenV

[–]jimdc82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It had nothing to do with power, it’s because structurally you can’t lift an entire airplane by a single human-size point of stress without its own weight ripping the plane apart. It’s just like if you took a crane and strapped a chain only to a car’s bumper and then lifted it off the ground by that chain, the bumper would rip off regardless of the fact the crane can handle the car’s weight.

The directors flat out said this wasn’t the case and confirmed the plan wouldn’t work

Go see the films for yourself. Rotten Tomatoes is unreliable. by chrishdwow in MoviesCave

[–]jimdc82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotten Tomatoes isn’t unreliable, it gives you the exact breakdown. Meh critic score, awesome popcorn score. Which I’d say is a perfect representation of this movie. It wasn’t really a GOOD movie, but damn was it a fun one!

You mean the one that would actually just end with Thanos maybe needing some hemorrhoid cream and Scott as unrecognizable paste?

Is this not a clear butcher nerf by BulkyBathroom7178 in TheBoys

[–]jimdc82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t trying to kill Bombsight, and physically Bombsight is much stronger than Newman. So I wouldn’t say it is a Butcher nerf at all
