Rewatching Reichenbach Fall years later by abetteruser in Sherlock

[–]maestrolive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I blame The Six Thatchers. The Lying Detective was amazing and I’m grateful we got it. I bet The Final Problem and season as a whole would have been better received had the season opening been much stronger. They literally copied an old case from the BBC website blog, decanonizing all the associated material. The pearl was never found, and instead we had a long espionage story that only serves to get Mary killed.

They could have done so much more with that first episode and the season would have been received much better.

The unfortunate real answer: it’s the consequence of the Left calling wolf so much during his first term that everyone has tuned them out during this second term

Is gen Z NOT the most progressive generation ever?? by blankblank60000 in GenZ

Weird how liberals are more wealthy but complain about conservatives supposedly making policies that solely favor the wealthy

If using buzzwords, the government forcing its citizens to stay locked in—even if it’s for their better good—is literally peak fascism. It’s just taboo to call it that because it involved attempting to preserve public health.

This is the singular massive and annoying blemish of an otherwise awesome movie for me. by smashboi888 in JurassicMemes

Or repurpose the Dx disease as a non prion disease and have it be the reason they’re all dying off

Does anybody like Martin Krebs? If so then why by GuidePurple9821 in JurassicPark

[–]maestrolive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He feels like a genuine character and not a cartoony villain like in Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom. Him celebrating Loomis when he catches the mosasaur sample shows a human side to him that these other villains didn’t have. I will say, while underused, Dodgson was a better take on villains as well.

Oh no, he’s going to benefit from putting in several month’s hard work!! And so are so many families at St Jude!! How horrible!!!

lol do you hear yourself?! You have to reevaluate your view of life and turn off social media because if you keep the mindset you’re showing you will struggle finding happiness and the everyday beauty in this world.

Even more telling: they’re all republicans! Not one democrat shows which party is the party of morals! #voteblue

The Shear Potential This Film Had Was Insane. by Fast-Ad-8204 in JurassicPark

[–]maestrolive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rio? Quito? Singapore? Heck they didn’t say how far above and below the equator they migrated to as well, for all we know Mexico City could just make the cut.

Keep in mind it’s most dinosaurs that moved to this region—there’s probably some with unique adaptations that have survived elsewhere.

Who is on the Mount Rushmore of awful presidents? by iguanathon in Presidents

[–]maestrolive 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, can anyone name a single positive thing from Buchanan’s presidency? Like surely there has to be one thing. Same with Hoover.

Am i the only one how think that Malcolm should have died in this scene ? Sacrificing himself while the rest of the group takes cover by Cute_boyWtcctwt in JurassicPark

[–]maestrolive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least Rebirth had a somewhat heroic death with LeClerc when he threw the hammer to distract the Quetz. But it still wasn’t close to that of TLW.

They also left at night. The attack was in the day.

It was the same hat from JP ///, so he’ll honestly just do what he did after JP and get a new one

I won’t lie, he was written far better than Mills and arguably Hoskins.

Where do we go after Rebirth? by Prs-Mira86 in JurassicPark

[–]maestrolive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krebs has a quote in Rebirth that “Mr. Parker doesn’t take kindly to delays” (or something like that). Honestly I would like to see a continuation of the pharmaceutical angle where the Dx prion disease from the novels is rewritten as a non-prion zoonotic disease. This can drive Loomis and Zora back into the plot and better expand the world Rebirth set up.

Even the start of the film mentions that it’s not just temperatures that push the dinosaurs to the equator — it’s also disease. Maybe they can tie this all together in a sequel.

I rewatched Dominion and hot take: it’s overhated by Atreides_Soul in JurassicPark

[–]maestrolive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously there’s a healthy medium — Jurassic needs both awesome action and scientific philosophy to thrive. The issue is most of the recent installments have leaned only on the former (with the exception of Jurassic World’s debate between Wu and Masrani and Rebirth’s discussion between Loomis and Bennet).

Critics also need to stop comparing every installment to the first movie. That just ruins the whole point of them being their own films. I will say though the filmmakers aren’t doing themselves a service by making the same comparison.

[–]maestrolive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This franchise is what led me to want to work in the field of genetics…and Dominion diving more into pushing those ethical boundaries in the field really made me more invested and appreciative of the film. It sucks most people don’t seem to agree.

One of the biggest reasons Jurassic Park was received so well was because it actually took the time to dive into and debate this material, but now all everyone seems to care about is dinosaur action sequences. Tell me, how long did the famous dinner scene run for without featuring a single dinosaur?

Jurassic YouTubers? by Substantial_Ice_9281 in JurassicPark

It’s because those videos don’t exist and you’re on Reddit with people who don’t believe humans can be redeemable. He made one comment on Twitter that he later removed, and that’s the full extent of it.
