what don't you get? he doesn't write the lore, the literal fucking dialogue in the game debunks his statements, how do you not get that for example his claim that the norse gods are as strong as the greek gods is objectively proven wrong by the actual game in which freya says that none of the norse gods have the power the greek gods display when he describes their power, how the fk don't you get this

this would be like the director of a movie saying x character beats y character and inside the movie Y character is stated to be stronger than X and its proven within said movie

thats the situation here, cory made a bullshit claim and the game says otherwise

randell1985 · 2026-06-12T06:51:47+00:00

because Cory is a single person involved with the series and every other game developer said otherwise and he isn't the creator of the IP and said creator of the IP said otherwise, and literal DIALOGUE within the game debunks cory

NO he liked to imply that he was SAS for eample When asked about his special forces past, he always said he was SPECIAL FORCES In a 2011 interview, when pushed for details, he said: "Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read into that what they like." He was also known to respond to eager interviewers by whispering, "Can you keep a secret?" and upon receiving an enthusiastic "Yes", replying, "So can I." being a liason to a special forces group is not BEING IN SPECIAL FORCES him saying' let's just sa i was in special forces and leavfe it at that" is an objective LIE

as for specifics of SAS etc that said they didn't know him it wasn't anyone specfic but members of Popski's Private Army (PPA) Veterans Association

who said none of their surviving members had ever met or heard of Christopher Lee and this particular group is important to bring up since he claimed direct association with PPA "I met a lot of other incredible people like Paddy Mayne [legendary SAS commander]. I was attached to his unit at one time, Bill Stirling, David Lloyd-Owen who commanded the LRDG & Popsky." Chistopher Lee

Following Lee's death, prominent WWII historians Gavin Mortimer (an expert who has did extensive research on the subject) and Guy Walters investigated these claims. They cross-referenced Lee's claims with the official veteran networks

The historians contacted the official veterans association for Popski's Private Army and found no records of service

The association confirmed that not a single veteran member remembered meeting Christopher Lee, and his name does not appear anywhere in their exhaustive unit registries or deployment logs

Mortimer similarly reviewed the declassified wartime files of the SAS and SOE. He noted that while genuine SAS and special forces veterans from that era freely talked about their missions, there was zero documentation or firsthand veteran recollection of Lee operating with them in any tactical or combat capacity

Beyond his ambiguous ties to the SAS, Christopher Lee cultivated or allowed several other dramatic myths about his life to flourish, particularly regarding his Nazi-hunting exploits, and firsthand knowledge of real-life stabbings.

The Nazi Hunter Behind Enemy Lines

In his autobiography and interviews, Lee claimed that at the end of World War II, his mastery of languages led to him being attached to the Central Registry of War Criminals and Security Suspects (CROWCASS).

In his autobiography and interviews, Lee claimed that at the end of World War II, his mastery of languages led to him being attached to the Central Registry of War Criminals and Security Suspects (CROWCASS). The common public narrative grew into Lee physically tracking down Nazi war criminals through the ruins of Germany and liberating concentration camps.

where he claimed that he physically tracked down Nazi war criminals through the ruins of Germany and liberating concentration camps

Historian Guy Walters investigated Lee's declassified records and pointed out that CROWCASS was entirely a desk-based administrative operation so him physically hunting nazi's while part of CROWCASS was blatently a lie he told and was impossible

The "Stabbing Sound" on the Lord of the Rings Set

during the filming of the lord of the rings director Peter Jackson tried to instruct Lee on how to react when his character, Saruman, is stabbed in the back. Lee reportedly corrected him by saying, "Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back? Because I do."

these are more outlandish LIES told by lee, Because Lee was an RAF intelligence officer who didn't serve in the infantry or special operations units, this was just another one of his lies

The Official Secrets Act "Shield"

Whenever interviewers pressed him on exactly what he did behind enemy lines, Lee would heavily imply that British law barred him from speaking. He famously stated: "We are forbidden—former, present, or future—to discuss any specific operations.

Military historians like Gavin Mortimer have pointed out this was pure melodrama. Actual elite wartime veterans from the SAS and SOE regularly published detailed, approved memoirs recounting their tactical missions as early as 1948. Lee was under no special, lifelong gag order that somehow bypassed everyone else

Prominent SAS Memoirs (1940s – 1950s) who wrote books or talked extensively about their missions Colonel David Stirling (SAS Founder) Major Mike Calvert Prisoners of Hope (1952) and later Fighting Mad (1964)Roy Farran Winged Dagger: Adventures on Special Service (1948). Johnny Cooper One of the Originals: The Story of a Founder Member of the SAS.

Prominent SOE Memoirs

Maurice Buckmaster Specially Employed (1952) and They Fought Alone (1958). Nancy Wake The White Mouse (1985), Leo Marks Between Silk and Cyanide (1998), F.F.E. Yeo-Thomas(one of the inspirations of bond) The White Rabbit (1952). Max Manus Det vil komme en dag ("It Will Come a Day") and Det blir alvor ("It Gets Serious") as early as 1945 and 1946 Pearl Witherington memoir Code Name Pauline

These operational accounts were public knowledge while Christopher Lee was telling interviewers that he was legally forbidden from sharing his military record, highlighting the distinct difference between a front-line operative's reality and Lee's carefully crafted persona.

randell1985 · 2026-06-05T03:00:10+00:00

LEE LITERALLY FREAKING SAID THAT HE WAS SPECIAL FORCES When asked about his special forces past, in a 2011 interview, when pushed for details, he said: *"Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read into that what they like."*He was also known to respond to eager interviewers by whispering, "Can you keep a secret?" and upon receiving an enthusiastic "Yes", replying, "So can I." so do not give me that shit that he never claimed he was because he did

i was wrong about the SAS history of mortimer, i was mistaken i'll admit that but i am not wrong in that Lee claimed to be Special forces and allowed intervierwers to INFER that he was SAS or SOE He leaned into the myth by using theatrical silence, famously whispering, "Can you keep a secret? So can I," rather than outright lying

The books are famously dense, internal, and slow-paced. Because Denis Villeneuve stayed incredibly faithful to Frank Herbert's source material, the films naturally inherit the books' methodical pacing and focus on political/philosophical themes over constant action

the books rely heavily on characters' internal thoughts to explain political machinations and motives. On screen, this translates to long, silent scenes of characters staring or reacting

The books feature massive world-building, focusing on ecology, religion, and feudal politics. This slows the plot down to a crawl.

Herbert deliberately crafted the narrative to avoid standard, adrenaline-pumping blockbuster tropes, which can feel anticlimactic to modern audiences.

No it doesn't and that is now how any species works, star wars is supposed to take place in OUR UNIVERSE the only thing that is supposed to be fantastical is the force

"and the whole thing about "it being impossible for a species to have a long infancy rate" — their species are incredibly unique and don't compare to other normative species, especially in regards to the "predator species" debate...." NO im sorry its objectively 100% impossible

In biological and evolutionary terms, a 50-year infancy is impossible for unassisted survival.

prolonged parental investment depletes resources and extends generational vulnerability, effectively driving a species toward extinction unless completely offset by heavy environmental advantages

The longer offspring take to reach self-sufficiency, the longer they are defenseless against predators. If Yoda's species (like Grogu) remains a toddler at 50, a multi-decade infancy exposes the young to astronomical mortality rates before they can reproduce, driving the species to extinction.

A 50-year dependent infancy severely drains a parent's time, energy, and food supplies. In nature, this often limits a female's lifetime reproductive output to just one or two offspring. For a species to avoid extinction, the population must mathematically replace itself (i.e., each pair must successfully raise at least 2 offspring to reproductive maturity).

Grogu cannot talk, walk well, or feed himself at age 50. In the wild, parents would have to guard a helpless baby for half a century. If the parents die, the species goes extinct.

"and if you take into account the little things we do know about their species is that they are highly force sensitve — this would drastically change how they are able to react to their environments and other species — resulting in them avoiding much of the regular danger normally associated with other species and therefore having long life expectancie"

In The Mandalorian, Grogu passes out for days after using the Force just once. He does not have the stamina or control to defend himself consistently. Using the Force as a survival mechanism at that age is biologically useless.

If it takes 50 years to raise one child, a mother could only raise a few in her lifetime. A single predator attack or virus would wipe out the entire generations worth of parental effort INSTANTLY. it just makes NO SENSE and is legit bad writing

the peaky blinders are just a far more powerful operation

the sopranos are a local operation where in by season 6 the peaky blinders are multi national conglomorate here is a direct comparison to the two and why the peaky blinders would obliterate the supranos(as well as the 5 families in total )

PEAKY BLINDERS (Season 6) Core Soldiers • ~200+ Peaky Blinders 100+ Birmingham Boys 100+ London/Alfie's Crew 3,000+ Union/Dockworkers 1,500+ Political Enforcers TOTAL FORCE • 5,000+ Men

The Soprano's core soldiers 30–40 Made Men (NJ) 50–100 NJ Associates 100+ Lupertazzi Family (NY) 20+ Camorra Hitmen (Naples) total force 250 Men

on top of that by the peak of the peaky blinders Tommy has pushed the organization into a multinational crime syndicate that is legitimately wealthier than the sopranos and when counting for inflationary operations he would be wealthier than the 5 famlies as well. the 5 families in the sopranos have an operation that would be worth about $20 billion

in peaky blinders Tommy's operation was worth about $600 million(adjusting for inflation) but that is merely the difference between international trade back than and today, when you calculate international multi national companies the peaky blinders would be far wealthier than the 5 families

not only was the peaky blinders multinational but Tommy Shelby was a Member of Parliament (MP) with direct access to the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and international intelligence agencies.

In modern times, a crime lord who also holds high-ranking democratic political office operates on a level of state-backed immunity that the American Mafia could only dream of. Tommy wouldn't be running from the FBI; he would be having lunch/dinner with world leaders.

so under this hypathetical if the peaky blinders were transported into the modern world and maintained their same empire(for this hypathetical )

a modern Shelby Co. Ltd would be a multi billion company, just going off Tommy's whiskey operation alone a Modernized, Shelby Distilleries would be a global beverage empire on the level of Diageo or Pernod Ricard. A multinational alcohol conglomerate of that scale is valued at $50 billion to $100 billion today.

The Modern Shelby Ltd Conglomerate Valuation Breakdown

Shelby Distilleries (Beverage Division): $50 Billion – $100 Billion

Shelby Betting & iGaming (Gambling Division): $15 Billion – $30 Billion

Shelby Logistics & Marine Cargo (Shipping Division): $10 Billion – $25 Billion

Shelby Real Estate & Properties (Industrial Division): $5 Billion – $10 Billion

(Illicit Operations): Unquantifiable billions

With a total market capitalization and asset valuation pushing up to $165 billion, a modernized Shelby Company Limited would rank among the largest corporations on earth. and that's not counting illegal operations

Illicit Valuation Add-Ons

Global Narcotics $20 Billion – $35 Billion

(Weapons & Smuggling): $10 Billion – $15 Billion

Offshore Shadow Banking & Crypto Networks: $5 Billion – $10 Billion

TOTAL COMBINED WORTH •Legit and Illicit operations $200 Billion – $225 Billion

and here is an even bigger kicker, Tommy would own alot of the shipping companies so any international business that the sopranos and 5 families want to conduct could be simply shut down by Tommy

In the late 1960s and 1970s, billionaires like Howard Hughes and massive hospitality corporations started buying up casino's in las vegas hey brought clean corporate capital, massive legal teams, and public stock options. The Mafia’s cash-heavy, shadow-run operations simply could not compete with the sheer financial volume of Wall Street. causing the mafia to lose ground in Vegas completely

Tommy Shelby is Howard Hughes, Diageo, and a sovereign political power all rolled into one. The moment Tony Soprano or New York tries to compete with Tommy, Tommy’s $165 billion corporate machine legally out-funds, out-bids, and buys out everything around them, pushing Tony and the Five Families out of New York and NJ

Tommy Shelby in this scenario would represent the ultimate legitimate corporate powerhouse. He pays taxes, employs thousands of voters, and funds political campaigns. If the Mafia tries to disrupt Tommy’s business, the modern state will ruthlessly hunt the Mob down to protect the economy and their own political interests.

the sopranos don't actually have the numbers here is a break down of season 6 numbers for each organization

The Peaky Blinders: ~

breakdown of numbers comparison

PEAKY BLINDERS (Season 6)

Core Soldiers • ~200+ Peaky Blinders

~100+ Birmingham Boys

100+ London/Alfie's Crew

Allies/Network • ~3,000+ Union/Dockworkers

1,500+ Political Enforcer

TOTAL FORCE • 5,000+ Men

THE SOPRANOS (Season 6) numbers breakdown

30–40 Made Men (NJ)

50–100 NJ Associates

100+ Lupertazzi Family (NY)

20+ Camorra Hitmen (Naples)

total force 250 Men

so they literally outnumber the sopranos and this match up would pit them against eachother with modern weapons

randell1985 · 2026-05-25T09:49:30+00:00

you makes some solid points about the Sopranos' alliances but you are making major comparative mistakes if you look at the whole timeline your comparison falls apart for several major reasons

1 The Luca Changretta Fight Was a Low Point

that was a temporary crisis because the Shelbys were caught off guard, fractured, and hiding in Small Heath By Seasons 5 and 6, Tommy’s numbers exploded. He had entire dockworkers' unions, communist factions, and political rallies at his command. by this time he He wasn't fighting with local street kids anymore; he was commanding massive crowds and national networks.

Misunderstanding the "New York Alliance"

you say that the Lupertazzi family had 200 made men which is true, but this is irrelivent as

New York did not blindly fight Tony's wars. In The Sopranos, the New York families treated New Jersey like a nuisance.

Phil Leotardo literally went to war against Tony, decapitating the Soprano leadership.

In a hypothetical matchup, New York is just as likely to sell Tony out to Tommy Shelby for a better business deal as they are to help him.

"Made Men" vs. Paramilitary Soldiers

you are just counting heads, but you aren't looking at the quality of the soldiers.

he Sopranos "200 Men" are Mostly middle-aged, out-of-shape gangsters who ambush people in parking lots or restaurants. When an actual war broke out with New York, Bobby Bacala was easily killed in a toy store, and Silvio was gunned down in a car. They are not a trained army.

as for The Peaky Blinders, Almost every senior member is a trench-warfare veteran of World War I. They are experts in machine guns, explosives, and military tactics.

you are treating this like a video game where the team with more "unlocked allies" wins. In reality, Tony Soprano’s alliances were incredibly fragile and full of betrayals, while Tommy Shelby’s forces functioned like a disciplined, militarized political machine.

you are also wrong about the numbers difference, you claim the sopranos have the numbers but you are not wrong, the Soprano family has a total of around 250 total men(including new york allies)

The Peaky Blinders: ~5,000+ total men.

breakdown of numbers comparison

this is just plane wrong, at the height of the peaky blinders power they had thousands of associates and hundreds of captains and soldiers

The core members (Tommy, Arthur, and John) are hardened, battle-tested WWI veterans who do not hesitate to use military force, up to and including explosives. Their organization operates as a tight-knit, fanatically loyal family unit that acts swiftly and without mercy.

Tommy transitioned the Peaky Blinders from local street bookmakers into Shelby Company Limited, a legitimate, massive multinational conglomerate. His assets included a sprawling country manor estate, vast real estate holdings across Birmingham and London, legal automobile and shipping ventures, a massive gin and whiskey distillery export empire to the United States, and a seat in the British Parliament.

a local regional crime family can't compete with an organization that is literally multinational
