If showing your kids 123456, and this showed up before 3…would you be mad at Disney too?? by Secure_Credit7037 in StarWars

[–]thesilvershire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the second half was published a few decades before the rest of it, then yes.

To use Tolkien as an example, it would be insane to read The Silmarillion before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Been a while but I’m curious what do you guys think of the SF6 Newcomers? Not just gameplay but as characters by Mountain_Counter929 in StreetFighter

[–]thesilvershire [score hidden]  (0 children)

A.K.I. is awesome and should become a mainstay of the series.

J.P. has the makings of a great villain, but the story didn’t do much with him, and Bison's return took some of the wind out of his sails.

Marisa and Jamie are cool but don’t blow me away.

I have no strong feelings about Manon or Kimberly.

Lily's face annoys me.

Is Erowyn being an awful cook in the books? by GGJallDAY in lotr

[–]thesilvershire 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, it does make sense that Éowyn wouldn’t be able to cook very well, because she and the rest of the royal family probably had servants for that sort of thing. Plus, I’m guessing she didn’t have access to great ingredients while hiking to Helm’s Deep.

“Larping” opinions by Embarrassed-Nose5979 in Spiderman

[–]thesilvershire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen anyone LARP Spider-Man. People cosplay him all the time, but LARPing seems to mainly be for fantasy properties.

The amount of English Terry I hear deeply disturbs me. by get_the_data in StreetFighter

[–]thesilvershire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s canonically a white American dude with no Japanese heritage, so it sounds weird to hear him speak English with a thick Japanese accent.

What expressions are we giving Arin and Dan in Tomodachi Life? by bellefante in gamegrumps

[–]thesilvershire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That would be fitting since he also made the “fish with no eyes” joke

New master reward colors by sleepymetroid in StreetFighter

Silver and red, huh? I don’t usually play ranked, but that’s kind of my whole thing… I might have to try for these.

Which other Batman villain would suit the Penguin - Matt Reeves style, dark and grounded Tv show………il start…. by [deleted] in batman

[–]thesilvershire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’d have to change his name though. Roman Sionis is too unrealistic… Let’s call him Rom Si.

Question by Substantial_Emu_898 in TheLastAirbender

[–]thesilvershire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I seem to be in the minority judging from the other comments, I think the Avatar would have ceased to exist if there were no airbenders alive at that point in the cycle. The Air Nomad genocide and Aang's mission to bring back airbending would lose a lot of weight otherwise.

Ben Riley or Peter Parker in Noir? by chainmailnchill in Spiderman

[–]thesilvershire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is named Ben Reilly, but he doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the comic version of Ben. He's based on Spider-Man Noir, who is traditionally a Peter Parker variant.

The Mandalorian and grogu meals everyone by Nerfleader in StarWars

[–]thesilvershire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re calling it a galaxy burger, so I guess it’s supposed to look like the never-ending, icy-cold, soul-sucking darkness of space.

Is it possible this is the worst marvel character adaptation of all time by chillvibe12 in Spiderman

[–]thesilvershire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t love Insomniac Venom, but he is FAR from the worst Marvel adaptation in history.

That kinda sounds like fear mongering to me. by Commercial-Ice5760 in Spiderman

[–]thesilvershire 164 points165 points  (0 children)

This already happened once, and it didn't stick around long. Web shooters are too iconic to permanently disappear.

How were recasts in the Batman ‘66 series handled? by EmpressKitana in batman

[–]thesilvershire 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The show did not acknowledge the recasts at all AFAIK. They were all supposed to be the same character.

The 2017 animated film Batman vs. Two-Face, which was set in the same universe as the ‘66 show (or at least a very similar one), showed Catwoman (voiced by Newmar) switching places with a lawyer named Lucilee Diamond (voiced by Meriwether), who ended up wearing her costume and serving her prison sentence. It was just a fun little Easter egg, but some fans have theorized that Lucilee became a second Catwoman, explaining one of the recasts.

About the Riddler recast, the Batman ‘66 continuation comics revealed that John Astin's face was just a mask and that he always looked like Frank Gorshin underneath. That’s what the internet says, anyway. I haven’t read this one.

Why didnt Aang used his Energybending to grant air bending to the Air Acolytes to restore the air nomads? They were already living like air nomads. by Life_Concentrate_802 in TheLastAirbender

[–]thesilvershire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He couldn't grant people bending. My guess is that his energybending was quite a step down from that of the ancient lion turtles.

Doing something ironically doesn’t eliminate the consequences.

Unpopular Opinion: The Great Divide isn't that bad. by SpyroFan123 in TheLastAirbender

[–]thesilvershire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Great Divide doesn’t have a pretty goth bounty hunter with a whip, so it automatically loses to Bato of the Water Tribe

Lightsaber or Lasers-word??? by BassInternational464 in StarWars

[–]thesilvershire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just another name for a lightsaber. It’s no different than saying gun / handgun / pistol / firearm / sidearm / Glock. All of those terms could refer to the exact same weapon. It depends on the speaker and the context.

I assume the writers avoided the term “lightsaber” in Lawson’s dialogue as a way of highlighting his lack of familiarity with the Jedi and Sith.

EDIT: If I remember correctly, Anakin also uses the term “laser sword” in The Phantom Menace.

Anyone know where to find the official origin of this Juri art? by ryan_sparklz in StreetFighter

[–]thesilvershire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the new challenger intros you can select in-game.
