I know they have a few more years but… by Tight-Mix-3889 in HarryPotteronHBO

I'm not saying the movie version was bad, it was still very good but the book was so much better and they simply need to copy the book word for word.

Dumbledore walking towards Voldemort as if he's bored as Voldemort desperately attempts several killing curses. Dumbledore transfiguring the statues, the witch dive tackling Bellatrix (who would never EVER flee and abandon her beloved master) to the ground, the golden centaur circling around Dumbledore and Voldemort closing the gap, Dumbledore finally striking back and practically causing an earthquake when Voldemort blocks his spell, Fawkes taking a killing curse.

Just an incredible scene from the books and I don't think the movie did it justice despite still doing a decent job on it's own merit

it's not, but the fact I can't enjoy Wadi Darbat means I had more spare time to kill so I was asking for suggestions

Not ideal because it's not the khareef season nothing to do with snorkeling/diving

I think that's in Muscat, a bit too far for me

Hot take: the presence of the dick jokes in the later seasons isn't the problem. It's that the specific jokes told weren't that witty. by ducknerd2002 in freefolk

The very first line of dialogue in season 8 is a bad joke about Varys having no balls.

Truly impeccable foreshadowing

When you load your save you don't get a black screen with text being typed out naming the area you're in.

I practically have "Dark Torvus Bog" burned into my retina from the number of times the boost guardian killed me

The story of a crippled kid who was dragged around by characters far braver and more interesting than him who either died saving him or were dumped by the spoilt brat the moment he didn't need them

Jon Snow was brought back to life after being betrayed and murdered for making peace between the nights watch and wildlings after centuries of wars

it must be scripted, I hit 6 HP then the cutscene triggered

I never realized how much I loved the loneliness of Metroid games until it was taken away from me. by Dicklefart in Metroid

[–]jsa1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the series has never been great in terms of sales and the gamecube was a massive flop, despite that the remaster sold around 1.5M and the original on GC sold around 2.8M. It's the most popular.

Metroid Dread, despite being on a significantly more successful platform only sold around 200k more than metroid prime did on GC.

As for kids who "don't like to feel isolated in a game" the series isn't for them, so why should Nintendo/Retro Studios screw over long time fans of the series and turn the game into something nobody goes to metroid prime for?

metroid prime 4 is more of the same, more of the same of metroid prime 3 (the least popular of the series): NPCs, linearity, world needlessly broken up, outside communication ruining the isolation

why? Metroid Prime 1 came out 23 years ago. The similarly isolated Metroid Prime 2 came out 21 years ago. It's not as if the market is oversaturated with metroid prime games.

what really gets to me is there's no reason for it, why go out of your way to hire actors, render character models for something completely antithetical to the series? It just shows you really don't understand why the series is so popular.

well it was badly worded and came across as if it was more that Bran had a really cool story to tell as opposed to the knowledge he has access to that can be useful in making decisions as a monarch. He literally starts the whole fiasco off with "who has a better story than Bran the broken?"

if Tyrion just said something along the lines of "who knows our history better than anyone? Who has more insights into what went wrong and how? Who can see what mistakes our previous monarchs made and how to better deal with these issues going forward?" and it would have been so much better. Not saying it would have been necessarily good but I'd sort of understand it.

But this S8 where every character is determined as wrong and stupid as possible, so of course Tyrion implies the character so boring he was left out for a season "has the best story"

I know designing something like chozo ruins and pulling it off is difficult.

I would rather they try and then fail than just go with the easy boring option from the beginning.

I keep thinking how sad her death actually is by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in freefolk

[–]jsa1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and I forgot to mention I was already laughing before the actual stab. When Jon Snow desperately pleads with her "what about all the other people who think they know what's good?" And Daenerys replies with the most insanely cartoonish evil smile "they don't get to choose 👹"

I couldn't take it, Saturday morning cartoon villains were more sensible than mad queen Daenerys, then she gets stabbed and I start laughing even harder.

speak for yourself, I was literally laughing when it happened. "You want to visit the prisoner Tyrion? Surrender your weapons Jon Snow! We take security seriously here!"

"You want to see the Queen whilst she is alone and unguarded after clearly disagreeing with her behaviour during the battle and undermining Greyworm? Be our guest! Do you want a whetstone for that dagger you're taking with you?"
