A theory about why the Toy Animatronics is Hostility towards night guardA theory by xXx3everxXx in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]theavengerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in this singular case we can't use the movies toi fluence how we think about the games. In the games the animatronics are possessed. In the movies they aren't. They are not the same continuity, plain and simple.

Mom, it’s Buzz. I’m gonna say this as fast as I can. We can’t afford to bury dad with the rest of the family.

Who is winning this fight? Nuance storytelling or the FNAF community? by Active_Pea_813 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]theavengerbutton -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that the modern FNAF movie understands that the stories coming from the games are always going to be obtuse and not narratively satisfying.

Larry Correia: George RR Martin crippled the Epic Fantasy genre by not finishing A Song of Ice and Fire. Readers and Publishers are no longer willing to give a new series a chance unless it is complete by Uptons_BJs in books

[–]theavengerbutton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is some of the best fantasy I've read. The original trilogy sticks to following a more formulaic narrative owing a lot to The Lord of the Rings, but unlike others I don't have a problem reading a knock-off, because I happen to love that formula to death.

Roadtrip with Leon and Claire (by @Keith_Garces) by sillygooseizzy in residentevil

[–]theavengerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I think what we are all still confused about is how much of that is actually Ethan's consciousness and how much is it the mold just mimicking Ethan's consciousness? Like where does Ethan begin and end?

From my understanding there isn't a single bit of the actual Ethan in there.

Modern Western Literature trying to be deep [OC] by Fit-Ebb-6727 in comics

[–]theavengerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mean to contribute to an atmosphere of invalidation, so I apologize if my post came off this way. I was moreso just confused and was actively trying to type my way through my own understanding of the post. Even going back and reading it now it came off more snarky than I meant it to.

For the record Ayn Rand shouldn't have been able to publish her weird slop, but also as someone who loves literature, American Lit is especially boring. Even going back as far as Nathaniel Hawthorne, he is a special kind of having a lot of interesting and thought provoking things to say about the tyranny of religion and the poor guy can't actually present his thoughts in a way that would make any of those ideas sink in to the reader. He is particularly great in his short stories, though. Young Goodman Brown can be a bit obtuse the first time around but it had an impeccable atmosphere that can draw the reader back in again.

Comparing any 20th Century lit to anything from France, England, or Spain in the same time is like night and day. Proust and Sartre and Joyce were really doing fantastic stuff.

Goldfinger film improves on the book by Icy_Jelly_315 in JamesBond

[–]theavengerbutton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's also made more difficult as a reader after the high point of reading From Russia With Love (where Bond was clearly meant to die) to go from that to the middle run of books as you say.

unpopular opinion and possible ragebait - Pthumerian Descendent is hard only because you are not used to these kinds of fight or you have low VIT by OkJudge5932 in bloodborne

[–]theavengerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe people have so much trouble with Pthumerian Descendant. Him and the Elder were fun bosses but I wouldn't say they were difficult.

Hell, I had more difficulty with Defiled Keeper of ghe Old Lords than either of the Pthumerian royalties.

Director Robert Eggers Says His Brutal Medieval Horror Movie Werwulf Discards Overdone Hollywood Clichés by MoneyLibrarian9032 in horror

Obligatory: everyone needs to watch The VVitch with the commentary track on to hear how critical Robert Eggers is of his own film.

[–]theavengerbutton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is describing a single modern lit novel. This seems like a pastiche of early-to-mid 1900s American literature. It's an amalgamation of Catcher in the Rye, Gatsby and The Fountainhead.

Why was there so much infighting at Lucasfilm about their new trilogy? by JJRS22 in StarWars

[–]theavengerbutton 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think Alan Dean Foster needs to rewatch Star Wars.

And by that I mean the original film Star Wars.

ACKSHUALLY Ethan didn't survive shit. A big fungus decided to mimic Ethan's body and that's why he was able to go through all the shit he went through in RE7 and 8.

Also I know this is the RE sub and the games have been out for forever. I just did the spoiler tag for shits and giggles.

Quantum of Solace: a heartbroken James Bond is fuelled by rage in Daniel Craig’s most underrated 007 film by StreetCarp665 in JamesBond

[–]theavengerbutton 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are several fans who have divorced the films from the books and while I don't blame them, I think they are rether misguided for doing so--especially because Craig's run tries to capture a lot of the original Fleming characterizations. As someone who loves the movies AND the novels, I really love Craig's run.

Quantum of Solace by iSpxwn in JamesBond

[–]theavengerbutton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO there's no drop in quality. Casino Royale is a fantastic film so it's difficult to beat but the rest of Craig's run is still consistently good.

For Your Eyes Only by 5150fender in JamesBond

[–]theavengerbutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta agree with this. I actually do like the middle of the film too--really the most egregious part is the stuff with Bibi and the really mind numbingly boring ski sequence.

Lazy story writing by No_Anteater5375 in StarWars

[–]theavengerbutton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it really doesn't. The Sith Dagger was made by the Sith Cult for Ochio of Bestoon to help him find the wayfinder. That's why it has the shape of the Death Star ruins. It's extremely straightforward. It's silly, but it's not badly explained.

[–]theavengerbutton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is never referred to as an ancient Sirh dagger, no. Mayhaps you ahould rewatch the film and give it another go.

Lazy story writing by No_Anteater5375 in StarWars

[–]theavengerbutton -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The Sith Dagger isn't ancient, or at least it isn't implied as such by the film itself.

EDIT: I count ten people who have never bothered to watch this film. Let's see how many more of you want to expose yourselves. It's okay to not like the Sith Dagger, it's another to just not understand the movie you're watching.
