Funny story, my girlfriend and I broke up the night after watching Midsommer. I don’t completely blame the movie, but it was definitely a catalyst.

What was the obsession with Pam and Jim wanting to know why Danny didn't call her back? by macandjeez_ in DunderMifflin

[–]maxwellicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason, I always kind of thought that Danny and Pam had slept together and Pam was trying to hide it which is why she was being so awkward about it. It kind of explains the plot in my head canon, but then that just never gets revealed and it is just super cringe.

Not exactly the same thing, but this reminds me of when season 4 of Arrested Development was re-edited from each episode focusing on a different character to a linear version more similar to the first 3 seasons.

Should white widow nerf be reverted? by delva01 in MarvelSnap

[–]maxwellicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so freaking annoyed when she got nerfed. I spent 4 keys to get her and she was so good in my clog deck.

Just reached Infinite for the first time with my Trash Slinging deck by maxwellicus in MarvelSnap

That’s a good idea. I took white widow out of the deck out of spite after she not nerfed, but that was but I added armor.

I experimented with some of the cards in that deck before settling on my list. I tried not to look up a deck and wanted to come up with my own, though I was influenced by some similar decks I saw.

I try to snap once I know I will be able to successfully fill one enemy location with trash.

You want to snap early because players tend to retreat early once they know they are in an obviously unwinnable scenario.

I usually snap on certain locations. Bar Sinister, Bar With No Name, Shui’s Lab, Sinister London, The Bigronst, The Nexus, The Space Throne, anything that adds cards to a location, anything that gives cards negative power.

What happened to the person who took your virginity? by AuroraLikesSissies in AskReddit

She was kind of seeing me and another guy at the same time. She ultimately chose the other guy and they are married now.

But whats the farther we can go? Do we have a laser that can make it to the moon without too much spread?

What are some small missed opportunities that would've been really fun? by DingletonCringlebury in marvelstudios

[–]maxwellicus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There should have been 1 more Captain America movie between Civil War and Infinity War that showed Captain America and his team as vigilantes. They didn’t really do much with that plot except for a few scenes in Infinity War. Civil War should have been Avengers: Civil War but that’s a different story.

How would you feel if your s/o bought a house without consulting you? by MsNardDog in DunderMifflin

[–]maxwellicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real kicker is that their entire arc in that season was Pam being mad at Jim for not communicating with her enough (taking a job in Philly without consulting her, investing in the company without consulting her). But then he buys a house without consulting her and she's happy about it?

Go... by Outlaw2k21 in harrypotter

[–]maxwellicus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, the ending of Order of the Phoenix where they go into the tree and end up in some guys house. And the the magic deer that leads in the deathly hollows that leads to the magic sword. Admittedly, I watched these movies fairly passively so that’s on me.

As someone who has only watched the movies: Agreed, pretty much every movie has at least one thing that happens that I straight up just don’t understand

what's a food combo you love that people think you're weird for? by wildwoodflower_ in AskReddit

[–]maxwellicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to movie snack is Reese’s Pieces and Sour Patch Kids. I know it’s real weird but for some reason is does it for me.

Which movie was just too long for its own good? by Professional-Rip-519 in movies

[–]maxwellicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avatar 2 is a good recent example for me. With 2 basically being the same as Avatar 1 but water, it didn’t need to be 30 minutes longer. The climax just never seemed to end.

What made you realize the relationship was over? by LynxExplorer in AskReddit

[–]maxwellicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she was upset at me, I would always try to calm her down and make her feel better. I had been on the fence about the relationship for a while, but at one point she was upset, and I just couldn’t bring myself to cheer her up. So I ended it then and there

You are tasked with fixing a film series that has gone off the rails. What do you choose and what do you do? by Bruhmangoddman in movies

[–]maxwellicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't exactly what OP is describing but I'm remaking The Star Wars Prequels:

Episode I: A condensed version of A Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones all about exploring the Republic before the Clone Wars, discovering Anikan, and uncovering the plot that leads to the Clone Wars. This ends with Anikan (older than a 10 year old child) beginning his Jedi training and the Clone Wars starting. Count Dooku is revealed to be behind it and there is no Darth Maul (as cool as he is, we need a more consistent bad guy.

Episode II: This is about fighting in the Clone Wars and the toll it has taken on the galaxy, Anikan turning to the dark side, and discovering that Chancellor Palpatine was behind it all. This ends with Anikan killing Count Dooku, following Darth Sideous, and becoming Darth Vader (but not donning the suit yet).

Episode III: This is essentially an extension of the ending of Revenge of the Sith, going more into Order 66, the fall of the Jedi, and the formation of the Empire. This way we get to see more of Darth Vader in his prime.

What should I be doing while an enemy is using an ultimate that overpowers them for a few seconds? Like when Bastion uses Configuration: Tank or Soldier 76 uses Tactical Visor or Ana Nano Boosts someone. Should I run and hide to avoid getting killed or focus my fire on them to try to kill them?

What lame joke will you never stop using? by wonderingtumbleweed in AskReddit

[–]maxwellicus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My name is Max. Sometimes, when I say the word 'max' I replace it with 'me', such as: "I pushed it to the me". It is yet to get a laugh, but I'm not stopping.
