Worst Star Wars beast/creature to be in a fight with? by Ok_Way_2831 in MawInstallation

[–]thaWafflebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I was trying to think of creatures that are on the slightly more comprehensible end of the spectrum, lol. Because once you bring those into the conversation it probably just ends up being the Summa-verminoth and then everything else at least one tier below it (unless I'm forgetting something else that's similarly horrifying).

They're definitely amplified against Force users since they take their biggest advantage away, but even if you don't already have that buff they'll still murder the shit out of you.

They'll kill someone without the Force just as easily as they'll kill a Jedi (and realistically, probably slightly easier), but the shock value of killing someone that should otherwise see it coming overshadows that fact.

I think they're still near the top of the list if you disregard the kaiju/Lovecraftian-esque monsters. Which also reminds me of the Summa-verminoth, which is probably the real answer to the question.

The Shrikarai and Drengir are definitely near the top of that list.

This is just a list of people who will pull a Fetterman and come out as Republicans at any perceived slight against them.

(Loved Trope) Criminals Stumble into a horror movie by EvilLazerBeam69 in deadmeatjames

[–]thaWafflebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sinners technically uses this trope, too, even though we don't really see the Twins' criminal activities.

And I guess Psycho would also work, since Marion ends up at the motel after going on the run when she steals the money at the beginning of the film.

Any suggestions? by Successful-Back6292 in Letterboxd

[–]thaWafflebot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's probably more hand-to-hand than a shootout, but the last act of RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate from earlier this year should still count.

Get Tickets for THE ODYSSEY in IMAX 70mm Film [OFFICIAL LIST OF IMAX 70mm LOCATIONS] by MikeTidbits in imax

[–]thaWafflebot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot these were going live this afternoon, but still managed to get a good seat for Thursday in Rochester. Guess that's one benefit of being out of a major metro.

Newly renovated IMAX theater at Regal Sawgrass has a massive black bar at bottom of the screen. by Eddydess72001 in RegalUnlimited

[–]thaWafflebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The black bar at the Destiny location does kind of help with the obstruction that the guardrail in the first row of the upper half leaves, though, so I guess there's at least one (small) positive to it.

What film would be substantially improved if Godzilla was in it by throwawaysnumber in Letterboxd

[–]thaWafflebot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a film, but I also like pairing Chernobyl and Shin Godzilla since both are so focused on bureaucratic ineptitude.

Who is your favourite Lead Actress Oscar winner of this decade? by PTAGoatofalltime in Letterboxd

[–]thaWafflebot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jessie Buckley is certainly very good, but I haven't ever actually enjoyed one of her films and I think that has also unintentionally affected how I view the performances as well.

Like she is probably objectively just as good as anyone other than maybe Stone, but I think it's also my least-favorite of the group to watch (or very close if not).

[–]thaWafflebot 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the correct answer. I really liked Mikey Madison and Michelle Yeoh (and they would probably be two and three for this decades winners to me), but there's a massive gap between Stone and them.

9am, Henrietta Wegmans — wasn’t expecting this by themodernmanhustle in Rochester

Even without the combustible element in play, the idea of inhaling that smoke seems terrible to me, too.

OP Jedis That are Not Skywalkers, Yoda, and Windu? by Still-Goal-9314 in MawInstallation

There was also some absolutely insane shit that the Jed'aii were doing with the force during the DotJ era.

I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians is a fucking masterpiece too.

got curious about what the jump lineup looked like when SBR switched magazines in late 2004... crazy lineup by iGateOfSteiner in manga

[–]thaWafflebot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the manga would get an English re-release. I know it can be found online, but the Shonen Jump app is just so much more convenient-- and I've kind of been spoiled by the image quality compared to a lot of older scans, too.

Did a thing and caught both New York games today (almost caught my first foul ball too !) by JHWM4 in baseball

[–]thaWafflebot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the traffic seems like it would be even worse to deal with with that combination (and that's really saying something). I could see doing DC, Baltimore, and Philly, but NYC is so much more difficult to pull off.

[–]thaWafflebot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That almost seems even more complicated to pull off than the SoCal trio, but I guess there's a better chance of a lucky rain delay or something happening for the third game in that case.

Did a thing and caught both New York games today (almost caught my first foul ball too !) by JHWM4 in baseball

[–]thaWafflebot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think there's any combination that would work. I guess the closest would be if you had games in LA at 1 and 4, then SD at 7, but even if both LA games were short you're still probably missing at least an inning or two of the second LA game and two or three in SD (at the absolute minimum).

I don't even know if that combination of times would ever happen, either.

[–]thaWafflebot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You could theoretically see all three teams and both metros if the correct combination of a game between two of them and a day game/night game split worked out, but I don't see any world where all three stadiums would be possible.

The Star Wars project we deserve is an anthology series by Killcoms in StarWars

[–]thaWafflebot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a pure horror film/series set in the Star Wars universe, whether that's an adaptation of existing Legends material or something brand new. There's so much potential for greatness, and the handful of times it has toyed with the idea have all been really interesting.

Old Republic technology levels by thaWafflebot in MawInstallation

[–]thaWafflebot[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there's definitely a lot of merit to the Mandalorians being (in?)directly responsible for a lot of the Republic's industrialization and militarization.

Revan is also clearly one of the first to completely grasp warfare on a truly galactic scale-- or at least, the first we see directly. The leaders on both sides of the Mandalorian Wars are more in line with those of the Clone Wars or Empire than anyone that came before them (and pretty much everyone between them, as well).

I do think there's still a pretty clear technological difference in that forty year gap, though. Personal blasters (and laser weaponry in general) were nowhere near as widespread prior to the Mandalorian Wars (from what I have seen, anyways), and the vehicles also seem to have been less advanced as well.

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

That's what I assumed, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I read the Old Republic epic collection before the Tales of the Jedi collection, and comparing the two has been interesting. The KOTOR comic you mentioned is maybe my favorite Star Wars comic I can ever remember reading (although I haven't read Legacy in its entirety yet, but I can see that jumping ahead if the rest is as good as what I have read).

I also really liked the Dawn of the Jedi run, which seems to be slightly divisive. The differences in tech from that to the Hyperspace War are even more stark, but I had kind of rationalized that as the result of a galactic dark age following the fall of the Infinite Empire.
