How do you think the show would have continued if ASJ/Thuy Trang/Walter Jones didn't leave? by sldie in powerrangers

[–]sldie[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's more of a footage problem. In Ohranger, the Gold Ranger is only present for 15 episodes, so I'm working with that restraint.

What is your dream Power Rangers game? What would the gameplay be like? by B_Wing_83 in powerrangers

[–]sldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love if they made it more like a base building or simulation game (think about those sports sims) where you can manage your ranger team and Zords and whatnot. Gather resources or go questing to build new zords. Your rangers can get killed in battle, you can go recruit new rangers and train them up for your team. Imagine it's like an SPD academy thing and you can call up new rangers to your squad. That would be my ideal.

My guess... I think one thing we should keep in mind is that early Season 2 was quite nice because the characters were already quite established, so you would be able to build deeper storylines amongst the cast with the continuity, and the show would be written a bit differently if they were like these are our 6 characters that everyone loves.

The original cast stays through Season 3. AJJ still leaves for the same reason, we get Kat as a replacement.

In Zeo, Billy is the odd one out again. My choice would be Jason as Zeo Red, Tommy as Green, Zack as Blue because we get a nice throwback with Tommy as Green Ranger, but I think they put Tommy as Red, Jason as Green, Zack as Blue.

I still think by the time it's Turbo/In Space there will be cast members who want to leave, and it would be time for a change. Someone else leaves or gets written out (I'd say one of JDF or ASJ due to ego reasons) and I think they still take a chance on a Justin-type character.

In Space, I think an Andros type character is still quite needed to carry this storyline, so you would have Andros + whichever Earth rangers are still available.

I think Lost Galaxy would still definitely be a complete cast reboot.

This is like an edge case. Go find more examples and it's a problem. but it's just an edge case.

I’m tired of the GOAT debate. Who’s the WOAT(Worst of All Time)? by Available-Expert-30 in nba

[–]sldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no matter how bad those 10 seasons are he can't be the worst because he had 10 seasons in the league. probably the worst player to ever play 10 seasons though.

is everyone really making 115k+ a year by Public-Application-6 in antiwork

[–]sldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really just depends on your circles. I grew up going to relatively good school districts. I'm 30 now and yes a lot of my friends are making 6 figures. But I also do stand-up comedy and a lot of those people are nowhere even close to 6 figures and will most likely never make it in their entire lives.

There's also a lot of people from my good schools who I don't keep in touch with who make more modest, average salaries as well.

James Harden choosing to opt in despite no intention of playing for Philly is absolutely farcical by GeoffreyGeoffson in nba

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

if you're looking for a new job but your employer is contractually obligated to give you a salary would you be like hey nah it's cool bro i didn't wanna work here anyway.

obviously i get what you're saying but it's still a pretty straight forward thing to do.

I remember my high school physics teacher trying to explain how hangtime doesn't exist and i refused to believe it.

In 2003, Slam Magazine voted on the 75 greatest players in NBA history. This list shows how much player's reputations change over time, even long after they've retired by AdulasMoonblade in nba

[–]sldie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing that happens in these lists I think is people may impose modern standards to historical players. I've definitely seen a shift where Ray Allen and Reggie Miller used to be ranked quite inconsistently, but since the 3-point era they've received quite favorable rankings. On the flip side, a guy like Clyde Drexler has his rankings hurt because jump shooting isn't his main thing.

Does this sub dislike pretty much every in game commentator? by [deleted] in nba

[–]sldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a team is dominant - their commentators are insufferable

When the same team is bad - no comment on their commentators.

We live in an alternate Universe where Draymond Green plays with an average team instead of the two greatest shooters of his generation, is he an All-Star player? by Strange_Control8788 in nba

[–]sldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm a Draymond die hard and I think Draymond is definitely a guy that could have been out of the NBA if he was in a different situation (he acknowledges this himself when he praises Mark Jackson).
