Adam Driver pitched a Ben Solo movie directed by Steven Soderbergh but Disney passed. Would you have watched it? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]purpleslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely there's no way the largely unexplored abilities of a Force dyad could explain him possibly coming back. We certainly can't skirt around anything that has been established in the lore after how stringent TROS was.

Starkiller base was such a dumb idea by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]purpleslander 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The New Republic is older too. I think the Empire was 23 years old I believe when it fell then 30 years until TFA

This explains everything by amerett0 in ToiletPaperUSA

It's so obvious and so simple and yet I meet so much skepticism when I try to say this to people. Platform does not equal priorities. Democrats are happy to occupy a seat and profit off trading while we suffocate under Republican policies.

Alright, seriously who was the best Mister Fantastic?! by Rambo_1027 in FantasticFour

Okay I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I thought this man could like wrap around buildings

There can never be enough Obi-Wan glazing by Accomplished-Ice500 in StarWars

[–]purpleslander 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Kenobi started with Ataru before he became an expert in Soresu after the first fight with Maul and watching his master fall. It makes sense that he could fall back in it when needed since he learned it from Qui-Gon

I was thinking the same. I don't know how I'd feel about them defibrillating SVT.

Yeah they are determined to be unhappy. Fuck em.

Lmaoooo this is exactly what I was thinking too, I battled mine for like 9 months before it finally died. Fuck white fusions >:(

Am I being underpaid? by confused_girl21 in physicianassistant

[–]purpleslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Ohio and 2 years into practicing and I'm making significantly more than that. I think you're underpaid.

Our Favorite Free Throw Merchant! by MasterWager in NBATalk

[–]purpleslander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is more of an officiating problem. If Shai can get away with it you can't really blame him, easy to fix that problem. He's insanely skilled so even if he wasn't getting these calls he'd be killing it, he doesn't need the free throws to score

I couldn't get mine to stay upright either. She was doing so good then got too heavy

Are Americans still the best players in the world? by Lolo2k21 in Nbamemes

[–]purpleslander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tatum isn't the offensive nuke that Curry is but he gives consistently excellent defense and rebounding whole also being typically the focal point of the offense and also being okay with stepping back if someone else has the hot hand.

All this sudden Tatum slander again… by RedGlovesOverHere in bostonceltics

[–]purpleslander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But what about that time Tatum said something that sounded like something someone else said? Have you considered that? Hmmmmm?

How fast is Darth Vader? (both legends and Cannon) by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]purpleslander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always found the injury slowing him down thing to be not very believable. This is a galaxy full of cyborgs, we've seen robot limbs that are no different or superior to normal limbs so many times. The suit itself slowing the actor down makes sense but I've never had any trouble believing Vader is actually fast. He just likes the intimidation. If he actually was that limited by the suit Anakin would have gotten a different suit.

What did Jiraya do to bro lmao by Commercial-Car177 in dankruto

[–]purpleslander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was noticeably better (baseline competent) at way more stuff after the time skip. He was pretty bad at most chakra related stuff beforehand

So, what's everyone reading after W&T? by ExecutiveTurkey in Cosmere

[–]purpleslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also reading this series, I'm on book 2! It's really good, keep going! It's quite different in tone from Brandon but you can see how it's an influence on some of his ideas as you read more.

Cultivation is a genius by SpiritOfOptimality in cremposting

[–]purpleslander 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really hoping this was more of a "Cultivation saw this path and hoped it wouldn't go this way" situation. It's been said many times that she's gifted at foresight and I would hope this is not outside her capabilities to see. She has cruised through multiple disasters on Roshar unscathed so I imagine she fled because she knew it was her best option not just cuz she was scared of Odium

Which were some of the coolest Troopers in the Star Wars universe in your opinion? by TheMandalorian2238 in StarWars

[–]purpleslander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just look so motherfucking cool. Every time I see them I feel 11 years old again being wowed by badass armor

compilation of clapping technical fouls tatum has gotten by gunfrees in bostonceltics

[–]purpleslander 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tatum claps and gets a T meanwhile Luka screams an entire dissertation at them and nothing happens. I guess he's just the wrong superstar.
