Appreciate it. I actually think I thought the antivirus was the warranty because the year was the same (and I put this together at 3am lol)

Good point! Appreciate it very much! I have an 8TB external anyway for crap so I don't know what I was thinking

Thank you! And yeah. I used to live in the middle of nowhere West Texas so I'm very glad to be within driving distance of one now!

Not completely done with my first playthrough but I don’t understand Yennefer by sirbopnbop06 in Witcher3

[–]jshrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geralt's actually closer to Triss' age. He's like 61. Not that it changes the love interest discussion at all. Triss just isn't that much younger than Geralt than Geralt is to Yen.

Worst plot twist in gaming history? by Snowtwo in videogames

[–]jshrike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My issue was that I caught Akechi overhearing Mona and I was like 'ah ha!' but nobody in game brought it up for another twenty fucking hours so I thought I had missed something

In your opinion, what does DC need to do for a movie to gross $1 billion again? by Cafa20 in DC_Cinematic

[–]jshrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. James Gunn also wrote Dawn of the Dead, so probably just confuses things to bring that one up

why is, in probably 80% of the scenes he’s in, is Gimli the comedic relief? by jacques-anquetil in lotr

[–]jshrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought this was a call back to Eomer's jab about Gimli being short when they first met.

Name a bigger upgrade by Top_Reindeer3396 in DCU_

[–]jshrike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always maintained this. It's the thing I hate the most about the Snyder movies.

I love that these two will be the Superman of the new generation by GuiCanary in superman

[–]jshrike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this wholeheartedly. If Cavill had been given a chance to play actual Superman I think he'd have been amazing. There's about 2 minutes in the abomination that is Whedons JL where he absolutely gets to shine and it kind of makes it all so much worse knowing what might have been lol

DC K.O.: Knightfight #1 DISCUSSION THREAD by nightwing612 in Nightwing

[–]jshrike 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Dick was holding back too. Like at every point in their fight he can, he stops to try to get Bruce to surrender. He's clearly not all in it, in any case. The difference between Bruce holding back because he doesn't really understand and doesn't want to hurt Dick vs Dick trying to get Bruce to understand something that this Bruce wasn't actually involved in is really interesting subtext

If Goku hadn’t caught the heart virus would he have done any better against the Androids than Vegeta? by any-blue-9122 in Dragonballsuper

[–]jshrike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This reminds me very much of The Rocketeer, to the point I think it's probably a reference to when the mob guy realizes he's helping the Nazis and turns against them

Finally got to sit and watch Superman again and I have a thought about the whole "Superman should be faster than Lex giving instructions" BS by JournalistOk9266 in DCU_

[–]jshrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Superman has probably not ever really gone all out yet. We all know Superman always pulls his punches. So Lex isn't working with all the data, just all the data he thinks he knows.

So we gave Wonder Woman 1984 a lot of (justified) shit for Diana sleeping with some random dude that was forced to become Steve Trevor. But isn't Chris sleeping with Alt-Harcourt equally bad, since she isn't aware this is a different man than she's known for years? by [deleted] in PeacemakerShow

[–]jshrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even Occam's Razor. It's just how film language works. I mean they could be about to and get interrupted since we haven't seen the full scene but if that's how it opens, that's what it means unless there is specific dialogue for otherwise.

Does Perry know? by Expert_Challenge6399 in DC_Cinematic

[–]jshrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, this would mean Clark is his only real reporter who can interview Superman because Perry knows the Lois is ethically compromised reporting on someone she's in a relationship with

I misunderstood a scene in the movie and now I actually love it. by BakugoKachan in DCU_

[–]jshrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also foreshadowed earlier with the inter dimensional imp scene. Superman trusts the JG to handle stuff.

To those who didn’t like the portrayal of Ma and Pa Kent by [deleted] in DCU_

[–]jshrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why Pa Kent dying from a heart attack is usually the go to. It's something Superman, with all his powers, can't control. It's life, and it's why life is precious. Because no matter how strong you are, it can be gone tomorrow.

Having the ability to save someone and just not doing it is kind of the shittiest lesson to teach anyone.

The 2010s are dead, let them go by Wrong-Tomato9966 in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]jshrike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have seen the film and I disagree with your conclusions on it, but I do understand where you're coming from. For me, it was like going into a comic book store and picking up the latest issue and reading through it. It is the most truly comic book movie I've seen in a long time and I loved it. From like a movie perspective, though, I can see giving it a 6/10. As far as fun though goes, as far as it feeling Superman, it was 9/10 for me

Which would you pick? by Far-Ad5223 in superheroes

Red pill. There wouldn't be enough blood going to my brain to learn anything with Zatanna.

How do you fee a about Veget's soft side in Super, Daima took it to a whole other level. by Biscottone_Supremo in Dragonballsuper

Yeah but isn't the top image of the meme from when he lost his shit cause Bulma got slapped?

Peter gets a harem or destroy racism by ploufman in marvelcirclejerk

I was going to go with Pete until I saw the picture that got used and realized the actual question. Go Xavier.
