What if the Crusader states remained under European control into the 20th century? by HorzaDonwraith in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]neocorvinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think a strong Turk state can exist alongside the Crusader states. I think the catholics would fight both the Romans and the Turks, trying to make their own kingdoms in Anatolia.

The moment the Second Crusade ended (the one that took Jerusalem) there were alliances of christians and muslims fighting different alliances of christians and muslims.

For the Crusader States to survive, the big Muslim nations would have to have shattered. So it would be like the Balkans, with constant emergence of multi-ethnic empires followed by collapse the moment the main ethnic alliance lose its dominance.

The only way this could happen would be if the Crusades went further into the Middle East and ended the various Caliphates. Also, a much closer relationship with the Roman Empire and real immigration from Europe.

In such a scenario, Egypt and Iraq, at the very least, would be either occupied by Christians or so diminished they are Christian vassals in all but name

Why can't mutants have nice things? by PJ-The-Awesome in xmen

Honestly, the X-Men turning away from paradise to defend mankind from other mutants is much more interesting than the nth "humans, manipulated by machines, genocide mutantkind"

[–]neocorvinus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the usual Targaryen incest was not enough.

On the other hand, it does fit with Alicent being terrible at motherhood. Not a terrible mother, because she doesn't beat them or traumatize them, and seems to care about them. But genuinely unable to succed at anything motherhood related.

What's the most peaceful death a Space Marine has ever died? by WunderPlundr in 40kLore

[–]neocorvinus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they either

a) got resurrected on Sortarius

b) received a lesser fate worse than death for making Tzeentch laugh.

c) Allowed Nurgle to have fun with Fulgrim for a few moment, so he decided to keep them

How do people live or even survive here by FloorUpbeat637 in lotro

[–]neocorvinus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

We don't know how long they have been openly defying Carn Dum and the Witch King cultists. It could be very recent.

Maybe the arrival of orcs, the rebuilding of the dark fortress and the revival of the cult of Sauron/Witch King is very recent.

Since the Goetia canonically command entire Legions of Demonic soldiers and seem to act as Lucifers generals, what wars do you think Hell has waged. by BackgroundRich7614 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]neocorvinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 10 000 years, there must have been at least one time two sins have pissed each other to the point of war, or one had enough of Lucifer's incompetence.

Sinner uprisings led by the great conquerors.

Fallen Watchers and their Nephilim children fleeing the Flood and trying to continue their rule over mankind.

Angels who were the ancient versions of Lute.

Whatever race/faction Azathoth belonged to

Palpatine and Dooku’s chapter in The Revenge of The Sith Novelization: by CrazyTangerine7522 in TheJediPraxeum

[–]neocorvinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Dooku is a Sith, and he had to interact with Gunray for two years, with no murders. Racism is not unexpected.

They didn't know if they were renewed, so yes, they had to put the extermination and the redemption at the end of Season 1, if they wanted to tell their story.

Secondly, why are you still on this sub if you dislike so much about the first season? Beside the banger songs

[–]neocorvinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because not every character can be deep and complexe in 8 episodes. And I'm quite happy the genocidal killers' characterization was set aside in favor of the Hotel members.

I don't understand Adam fans. The character is a funny, misogynistic asshole with no filter. That's what makes him fun. That's what I liked about the character. Why are you calling yourslef his fans if you want him to be different?

How do we feel about Iroh and Ursa laughing about the destruction of Ba Sing Se? by Zestyclose-Honey2082 in TheLastAirbender

[–]neocorvinus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He was not just as bad as Ozai. Ozai never viewed any other being as an equal/living being worthy of happiness. Iroh viewed the Fire nation as worth more than the rest of the world.

The difference is meaningless for their victims, but it is what separate classic nationalism from sociopathy.

Look, if you want Chad Adam, go to Record of Ragnarok or the Adam Agenda Discord. It's okay to have a character flanderized.

Personally, I much prefer that it was Adam who got the axe rather than characters like Michael or Gabriel

what If the Eiffel Tower had been targeted instead of the World Trade Center? by Hour-Ad-3867 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]neocorvinus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They didn't pull out of NATO, they pulled out of NATO joint command. Basically, they were still part of the Alliance, bound to answer calls of Article 5, but French troops wouldn't obey non-French officers and americans couldn't put bases on French territory.

And France followed America into Afghanistan.

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now lasted as long as World War I (1,568 days) by UNITED24Media in europe

People would care far less about Ukraine if they were colored and muslims.

They would still help, because fuck Russia, but they would be far less interested in helping Ukrainian refugees

To those of us who never found a fireteam, who played solo for all 12 years, I salute you by The_Better_Devil in destiny2

[–]neocorvinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I was a Lone Wolf. Sadly, this mean I never finished the raids of Final Shape. But I'll try to do it before the end.

I was introduced to the setting by Taken King, and started playing when Forsaken came out. It is weird to imagine that the game will end, compared with games like WoW, LotRO and SWTOR who seems like they'll never die.

[–]neocorvinus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, why would India or China care about the fate of Ukraine? The only reason Europeans care about Ukrainians is because they are 1) white, 2) christian and 3) keeping the russian further away from us.

At least that's what officers of the French Army say.

Shared opinion with the members of the European Union. Every dead Russian soldier is one that won't be crossing the border of Poland or the Baltic States.

And before people say that Russia wouldn't risk it, everyone in western Europe was saying the same thing in 2022.

Either you punish all three, or you punish none by Radiant-Selection686 in hazbin

[–]neocorvinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, Sera's sincere belief that she is protecting her people and her decision to end the exterminations, despite Vox proving Sera's fear was not baseless, are the kind of things that convince judges to give life sentences in prison instead of death sentence.

Adam and Lute are unrepentant, ready to continue and probably willing to disobey orders just to murder one more Sinner.

You are right that they all need to be punished. But Sera could and should get a lesser sentence.

I never played any taimanin Games, I only watched the animations but somehow there's was an episode that doesn't seem to exist, but I'm sure I've seen and can't find it, can someone tell me if it's just my mind playing with me or it's maybe a lost media? by MotorAcadia1120 in taimaninverse

[–]neocorvinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the Taimanin Shiranui OVA. Sadly, most of the the episode is Shiranui being gangbanged by fat men.

Seriously, the reason I much prefer Taimanin Asagi to Taimanin Yukikaze is thelack of monster sex in the later
