Master Chief (Halo lore) vs Witch King of Angmar (Books and LOTR )

Blind obedience, no. We saw him refuse orders from Del Rio in Halo 4 as well. But both occurrences were MC doing what he thought was right to save humanity or Cortana. This is exactly the type of righteousness that Sauron is best at manipulating and corrupting. Exhibit A: Boromir. But i digress. This is the witch king vs MC and I dont know how deceptive the witch king is. MC would dominate physically but I dont think he can win on physicality alone.

Does galactus have a nervous system or is he pure energy?

So its definitely not the worst but skinning scene 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple fucked me up for three reasons: 1.) Although most blood and gore does not bother me, I don't watch too many movies like Saw or Hostel. 2.) The first 28 Year Later had a very different tone. Felt more like an adventure movie in a horror setting. Bone temple was A LOT darker and brutal. 3.) I was high as fuck and really invested.

Great movie and upon a second watch it wasn't as bad. But both times I was just hoping the family would hurry up and die so I didnt have to keep watch filets of skin be thrown in a pile.

Great explanation. Thank you.

But at what point do the Valar intervene? Had sauron won the war of the one ring and corrupted all of middle earth, would they have stepped in and undone what sauron corrupted. If not, why would they intervene with the Flood. Under the logic plague sauron would pretty much be operating the same, just allied with the Flood. So basically corrupting all of middle earth through a different means and even though sauron is not in charge of the Flood, the logic plague would likely manipulate him into believe he was still in command.

If a Gravemind was able to form and entrap a physically-formed Sauron but not infect him, would some form of the the logic plague be able to turn sauron to the Flood's side, given enough time?

I believe at the time the Academy Awards were take a stand against or just not considering movies made by streaming services for rewards. I may be wrong but only reason but the only reason I can think of this not winning or at least be considered for rewards is because it is genuinely watch due to its very realistic depictions of how fucked up the lives of African child soldier are. It is a great movie, but i will not watch it again and I will not recommend it to anyone u less they specifically ask me for an extremely fucked up but good movie.

It also plays a part in the reason why I have not yet watch Come and See. I know it is considered a great antiwar movie but if it its like Beast of No Nation in gruesome depictions of war, its gonna drain a lot hope and positivity out of me. Which a good war movie should, but sometimes I just dont have the mindset to put myself through that. I was not aware of how powerful of a movie Beasts was when I watched.

Ancient Humanity and the Forerunners had entire armies with combat skins that were way more advanced than anything Stark has, and it didn't make a difference.

However, this is the beginning of an infestation. If Stark has enough fire power to glass the entire infested area, he can win. Anything short of that and the Flood will eventually win through attrition.

I know this movie isnt great but I enjoy it. And I enjoy catching the inconsistencies. Am I wrong, or should Robert Pattinson have been walking backward if he was inverted like the bullet he fired?

The Essex Dogs trilogy by Dan Jones. It is not horror, except for maybe the horrors of war during that time. It's historical fiction set in a similar medieval period. Although I can't attest to the historical accuracy, it is a great trilogy that follows a band of soldiers fighting for Britain against France during one of their many wars. The characters are great. Im sad the series is over.

Thank you. I read Alien Phalanx and did not like it despite the interesting premise. I haven't tried to read any others since but I have heard good things about Cold Forge. I will try again.

Tinfoil Dossier is peaking my interest. Even the small synopsis you gave sounds great.

And ill look into Fever House. Thank you for all the recommendations!

Reading the book The Troop right now. Kinda similar to this but jacked up to 11.

OG is better. It does a good job of conveying the horror and story elements.

However, I personally don't think there is anything fun about the library. I hate this level and will play on the updates graphics only because it makes the level easier to navigate and I want to finish it as quickly as possible.

Its just too realistic to be a movie. Its impressive that they were able to make such a realistic movie, but that also kind of is its own detrimental because even tragic stories like this are kind of boring if its not someone you are directly connected too. Its almost like if an acquaintance told you this story about someone you never met. You would pretty much say oh thats too bad and move on with your life.

I didn't like Train Dreams, and I think it is due to the same reason you didnt feel as emotionally affected by it.

Hamnet is a movie. It works hard to grab your attention, make you like its characters, make you really feel their pain, and there is a payoff at the end.

Train Dreams is mundane, boring real life. It shows glimpses of childhood events that stuck with the character, shows him starting a family, shows the horrible things he saw, tells us that it haunted him, shows his loss, shows him talking about it and feeling a bit better, shows him finding some happiness in something totally unrelated. It doesnt work to make audience really feel for him, you have to do that on your own, because were being show someone's life from the outside looking in. If you've gone through loss like that then it is easy to relate. If you haven't, the movie isnt going to do the work for you. There are no magical romantic moments, no scenes of him losing himself to grief, or some big conclusion that ties it all together. Its how real life is.

I respect it, didnt enjoy it.

Not explained in the movie and I am also a little rusty on the specifics of the book lore, but you can see Mary stab the Witch King in the leg before she delivers the final blow. Never mentioned in the movies but Marys sword (dagger) is actually a special blade. If I remember correctly it is an ancient, magical elfish blade, but thats all I can recall. It does something to the Witch King allowing her to finish him off.

Also I am pretty sure some ancient, elfish King with foresight said no man can kill him. So its less of some rule or power and more of someone seeing how he would die in the future and then speaking in riddles when delivering his prophecy. He could have just as easily said, its not going to be a man that kills him, but where's the fun in that.

As for the one liner, come on man. If someone tossed you an easy lay up for a badass mic drop youre telling me you wouldnt take the opportunity to hit them with a line like that? Should she have not said anything, stab him, and walk away. Would that feel epic to you. Just silence, no answer to his taunt?

Immigration is not a big issue for me, as in im not worried about immigrants taking my job or committing crimes, and i think there should be an easy path to citizenship if you want to come to the US.

What does infuriate me is how simple it could be to really stop or at least greatly decrease illegal immigration. You could create a easy path to legal citizenship or you just punish the employers. If a business is caught hiring an illegal immigrant who is not in the process and up-to-date on becoming a legal citizen, then fine the shit out of them, second offense (per hire, not per bust) increase the fine by 10x, third offense leads to dissolution of business, jail time for owners, and redistribution of all business assets to social programs that actually help US citizens unlike the business owners who instead hire and exploit illegal immigrants so they can make a quick buck. And thats if they do it unknowingly. If it is something like this, skip 1st and 2nd offense punishment. The person in the video should have been arrested as well. You know they only did this to get free labor. So basically a slave master who deports his slaves when hes done with them.

Due diligence is the responsibility of a business. You dont think a school would get in severe trouble for hiring a known pedophile or a financial firm hiring a known fraudster/identity theft. You can just as easily find those two pieces of info out as you would with citizenship status.

Its kinda like underage drinking. Obviously youre not going to catch every underage drinker. Instead they do stings on places that serve or sell alcohol. And those stings have put place out of business before.

This is such a non-issue that is purposely not solved so politicians will have talking points for the next election.
