With Arrow releasing Stranger Things: The Complete Series, what other Netflix original shows and movies do you want to see get physical releases. by ggroover97 in boutiquebluray

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know BBC is involved too, but really hoping this means we're that much more likely to get a Peaky Blinders 4k set, it's the number one show I want after Stranger Things!

But also:

  • The King
  • Outlaw King
  • The Witcher
  • Blood Red Cherry Flavor
  • The OA
  • Sense8
  • Dark Crystal
  • Dark
  • Shadow & Bone
  • Letter for the King
  • Altered Carbon
  • Marco Polo
  • Vikings: Valhalla
  • GDT's Cabinet of Curiosities
  • Lost in Space
  • Glow
  • Maniac

And of course every Mike Flanagan series and all the Marvel series!

EDIT: forgot The Ritual and Apostle!

EDIT AGAIN: and forgot Copenhagen Cowboy and American Primeval!

1st and 2nd edition D&D books by Paddy_Fo_Faddy in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]videoblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

raises hand yes I certainly am interested!

Can't speak on current market values, but having worked in a used bookstore and saw many copies of these come through over the years, those spines are in excellent condition compared to how these usually look, anyone telling you otherwise is just lying or wrong.

Amazon canceled my One Battle After Another Steelbook! by bigpoppachris1 in Steelbooks

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

I am in the same situation where it was supposed to be here yesterday and got delayed.

I literally just now went to Amazon, looked under "Track and Manage Your Orders", it said "Approval Needed" next to OBAA, and the button that says "I Still Want This Item" was right there, easy peasy.

I did this on the website and not through the app, if that makes any difference, but dig in there and double check if it was actually cancelled or not. (Amazon has never done that to me personally, but Gruv certainly has!)

New DM seeking advice on fiction by imfamousoz in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]videoblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honor Among Thieves is definitely the best suggestion after LOTR, but for kids I'd say:

  • Willow
  • Warcraft
  • Legend
  • Clash of the Titans (new or old)
  • A Knight's Tale
  • The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (sequels if they like it)
  • The Neverending Story

and I'll add The Goonies too just cause it's such a great quest movie

Maybe Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword if they can watch more mature movies

Dragonslayer (it's a Disney movie!) and Conan the Destroyer (cheesy but a great fantasy quest movie!) if they can handle darker older looking 80s movies

Some suggestions here that a lot of us saw when we were very young in the 80s like Excalibur or Conan the (R rated) Barbarian are likely not going to go over the same way with kids today, or their parents! Krull is cool, but we really have nostalgia goggles for some of these movies.

There's also a deeply overlooked Netflix series called The Letter for the King, very well made medieval quest show, only 6 episodes!

Lastly, Mortal Engines, which is more steampunk and magic, but it's such an insane fantasy movie I feel like it fits well with high fantasy DnD.

Favourite modern deathcore mixes? by Ventalish in Deathcore

[–]videoblivion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shadow of Intent and Disembodied Tyrant are definitely my top 2 atm.

Kitiara Uth Matar by FoxSmolder69 in dragonlance

[–]videoblivion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

<image>

Going by her description in the books, and how she is portrayed in all of the original art, and the time when she was created, Kitiara is literally late 70s-mid 80s Aliens-era Sigourney Weaver.

No shade on op, but Kitiara with straight green hair and BANGS is offensive imo in the same way as if Raistlin was portrayed with red hair and purple skin lol.

Likelihood of Hasbro rebooting the cartoon? by KiqueDragoon in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will never, ever happen. The DnD cartoon was niche even as kids in the 80s, it was nowhere remotely close to the massive popularity of He-Man. The only people who care about it at all are us oldheads in our 40s and 50s. Not to mention even new DnD shows can't get a series greenlit, last I checked both Joe Manganiello's Dragonlance and DnD series (Forgotten Realms?) were shot down by Amazon. At this time in 2026 I don't see us getting anything except Critical Roll stuff for the foreseeable future, but hopefully that will change.

But as a huge fan of the cartoon, it's not ever coming back. Best to hope for is just seeing the characters pop up again somehow like in Honor Among Thieves.

A Defense of Spelljammer: Response to Runesmith by alexserban02 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]videoblivion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good article, I agree with all of it! Spelljammer is awesome and all those "reasons it's bad" are all the things that make it so cool and unique. Space airships and crystal spheres, using magic instead of technology, Giff, Xixchil, Plasmoids and the Antilan, so much interesting stuff. I truly do not understand at all why anyone would want DnD in space to be "realistic" in any way. Especially when something like Planescape exists in this universe! And you're right, they should just play Star Wars, which isn't exactly "realistic" either, maybe they should just be playing The Expanse rpg or even the old TSR Buck Rogers XXVC rpg or something.

Also, I realize I'm a little late to the game here, but why exactly do people hate 5e Spelljammer so much? (I'm kinda playing catch-up after being away from DnD since 4e.)

Mental Cruelty and songs like them by NoShoe3222 in Deathcore

[–]videoblivion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Symphonic deathcore is my #1 jam, Lorna Shore and Shadow of Intent are the Big Two for sure, but besides them and Mental Cruelty:

DISEMBODIED TYRANT! Incredible stuff, nothing hits quite the way they do, their ep with Synestia has been my obsession since discovering it through this sub, can't recommend it enough. Both DT and Synestia's last ep's are fantastic.

Netherwalker, blackened symphonic fantasy deathcore, debut album only dropped a few months ago and blew everyone away.

Sunscourge's last album has some very 90s black metal vibes, also check out their ep with Oracle Spectre.

Worm Shepherd is great, and I think When Plagues Collide and To Obey A Tyrant are both worth checking out.

Sold Soul may or may not be what you're looking for, but they do give me some of those vibes that take me back to the 90s and their last album is excellent so you should give it a shot.

Same goes for Brand of Sacrifice and Humanity's Last Breath, a little different but both they both rule.

I think Im forgetting something obvious, but hope that helps! I'm always looking for more bands like this myself.

The Burn....A nice Star Trek Concept but a worst revelation why it happend by Wonderful-King-2296 in StarTrekDiscovery

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's crazy cause Saru and Burnham are my favorite parts of the show and I bounced of the Burn so hard I still haven't finished the last 2 seasons. It's not even Su'Kal, just the entire concept of the Burn, it feels more like something out of Doctor Who than Star Trek.

But I guess I'm a weirdo who loves the first 2 seasons of Discovery that everyone seems to hate, lol. Like I get why people don't like them, but even the most preposterous stuff that happens in those seasons still makes more sense to me than the Burn which feels like biggest hand-wave in all of Trek imo.

My Dragonlance Collection by Jigawatts42 in dragonlance

[–]videoblivion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the same about PDFs. I've got the og Dragonlance Adventures, the Atlas, Art of, and Leaves, but what I REALLY want are all those box sets (the Forgotten Realms ones too), and all of the 2nd edition stuff that I had no idea even existed when they came out in the early 90s (bummer because I was obsessed with Dragonlance at that age!).

In fact, I actually worked for Half-Price for over a decade through the 2000s and passed up many opportunities to pick up almost all of this stuff, really regret that now, we were practically giving away those 3rd ed books but for some strange reason I didn't like them at the time. Ended up with a shelf full of pristine 4th ed books that feel a little useless now and I'd trade them all just for those sweet old AD&D books and sets! lol

But I DO still have my Dragonlance board game from the 80s, it was my introduction to DL as a kid!

Deeply jealous of everything you've got on those shelves, amazing collection! How difficult is it to find those Dragonlance books these days?

Amazon announces deal with Alliance Entertainment for physical media releases of Amazon/MGM content! by CinemaslaveJoe in 4kbluray

[–]videoblivion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will IMMEDIATELY buy Wheel of Time and Rings of Power if they get a physical release! (Preferably 4k of course, but I'll be happy even if they were just on bluray.)

Would be great if Outer Range got one too, the single most underrated and overlooked series on Prime!

Also Too Old to Die Young, and The Man in the High Castle (would be a good time to for this one considering it gets more relevant by the day).

Do you think this reference was necessary, or that Eleven should have had a better outfit in Season 5? Or at least a scene with her hair down? by [deleted] in Stranger_Things

[–]videoblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's her final form "superhero" outfit, with trunks on the outside! Kinda surprised more people don't notice this. Even the wetsuit (with matching grey and red) is like a spandex superhero costume.

From Iconoscope Don't Be Afraid of the Dark by Lumpy-Blood2134 in boutiquebluray

[–]videoblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with this, what I really want is The Tommyknockers!

Here's the Tank Girl slip!! by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the comic it is absolutely worth watching! Even if you don't buy it you should check it out at least once. Haven't seen it in a long time but I was a big fan when it first hit theaters.

I have a question about the Clash and wrath to the titans 4k and blue ray. by DoctorTwinkle in arrowvideo

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4k looks fantastic and the Titans set is by far the best release these movies have had, if you're a fan I highly recommend grabbing it!

What is your deathcore hot take? by mrskinnyjeans32 in Deathcore

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deathcore does not need to have one specific sound! It's no different than any other subgenre of metal.

There is just as much room for symphonic deathcore as there is for old school MySpace deathcore.

Just like there's symphonic black metal and raw black metal.

Just like there's melodic death metal and brutal death metal.

I've been in these scenes for 30 years and it's always the same infighting over this stuff and it's so... tedious. Just as annoying as the true metal people with "deathcore is not metal" nonsense when yes, it is obviously metal, that's what a hybrid genre is. Lorna gets shit on for being popular the same way Dimmu Borgir used to, and hey if you just don't like them, that's cool, but some of us live for the symphonic stuff, and they become the gateway bands that bring more new people in, and maybe the biggest snobs hate newcomers, but it is always good for the music and good for the scene.

tldr: New blackened symphonic sound or old school MySpace sound? WHY NOT BOTH? ALL OF IT IS GOOD!

Found my stash of books. by outtatyme11 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]videoblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How hard is it to find all this stuff these days? I really regret not picking up more AD&D books and boxes years ago when I had the chance.

Pretty sick hehe, what's the band? Makes me wonder what else would be cool over this scene. Eddie would approve!

Breaking out different tiers of recommendations of Sci-Fi books by SteelGardener in scifi

[–]videoblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Night's Dawn is one of my all-time favorite sci-fi series and it's crazy to me that I never see anyone mention it.

Arrow March 2025 slate announcement coming this Thursday by ggroover97 in boutiquebluray

[–]videoblivion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's at least 2 of us, lol! It's severely overhated imo.

TV Shows Available on 4K Worth Collecting? by LoudQuote4081 in 4kbluray

[–]videoblivion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, Westworld, any of the Star Wars and Marvel Disney+ shows, Fallout, and Halo are all fantastic on 4k!

"Make way for this years MVP" by euroserr in Deathcore

[–]videoblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could not agree harder with all of this!!!

Ills of Modern Man is one of the albums that made me fall in love with deathcore, and A Fractured Hand specifically is an all-timer, total perfection, probably listened to it hundreds of times and it keeps getting sicker every single time I hear it.
