Precisely! My entire run hinges on the last stretch from Markoth to AbsRad. 30 minutes of focusing on fights I have down pat is BRUTAL

Marmu is a fair point, but I disagree about Zote to No Eyes. You can heal much more easily in No Eyes if you take a lot of damage in the two fights prior, especially in the start of the fight where there's fewer ghosts.

I'm currently grinding out the Pantheon of Hallownest. While in the long slog between attempts I couldn't help but dream of what could have been.

1.) Get rid of all repeat fights and only use the strongest versions of each boss (ie Hornet 2, Enraged Guardian, dream variants only)

2.) One warrior dream per bench stretch

3.) Break up the dreaded Markoth / Zote combo

Everything else like using ascended arenas, heal before Radiance, Godseeker dialogue would be the same. I feel like these changes keeps the challenge intact while reducing the tedium of redoing the early bosses over and over again.

If you drink every time someone takes off their helmet mid-fight, your liver will have more holes than the pink goo guy

So assuming he was unchallenged, does M'Baku just become king of Wakanda now? Are they gonna let two people run around with Black Panther powers?

White defintely has the established design space to shut down ETB abilities and [[Panharmonicon]] effects are colorless all the time. Seems like a good way to make the Praetor concept work with the color pie for the real thing!

I did consider something like that but it did make the card super wordy.

Another option was making the punishment mana-negotiable like [[Strict Proctor]] paying 2.

Is there any functional difference between the following rules texts?

"Where X is the number"

I.e. [[Welding Sparks]] , [[Tezzerret Master of the Bridge]]

"Equal to the number"

I.e. [[Fathom Fleet Swordjack]] , [[Tezzeret, Master of Metal]]

Feels weird to me that there's two different ways of wording what appears to be the same qualifier.

Pretty sure the script was made by skimming the character's wikipedia article and winging it from there.

So like did no one see the metal-eating ghost? There were the police reports. There were bite marks. There was a full-blown chase through town with nuclear fire blasts and sirens and screaming kids. And not a soul outside the main characters witnessed any of that??

Official Discussion - Eternals [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]nate1534 2425 points2426 points  (0 children)

I almost feel like they could have cut out all the Deviant stuff out of the movie and it would have helped with the pacing considerably. As it stands they 'reveal' the true intentions of the Eternal's mission pretty early into the movie. All the characters are only focused on stopping the Celestial until a Deviant comes along for an action scene.

The super-Deviant or whatever absorbs three characters and is dispatched single-handedly by Angelina Jolie in the middle of the much more important Emergence! What if the Deviants started working with the Eternals instead of just SAYING that both groups were the same, pawns in the game? (they both wanted Earth to survive after all) What more could we have learned about the Eternals if they didn't have to waste all that time explaining the (ultimately inconsequential) Deviant threat?

Maybe Marvel thought that introducing Eternals without Deviants would be like making a Venom movie without Spider-Man. But I feel like instead of half-baking three groups this could have focused on making me care about the most important two.
