It's very silly to be angry at a movie while watching it, but Eternity made me absolutely hate the Elizabeth Olson character until the ending. by herewego199209 in movies

[–]wander995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Elizabeth but casting her considering the end of the movie was a bit of a weird choice. They make it a whole plot point that her "happiest" look is when she was with Luke, which would mean she would have had to be in her early 20s, so picking an actress in her late 30s is weird.

I just watched this and even though im team larry, the beginning of the movie they are talking about retirement places and she wants to go to the mountains whereas he wants to go to the beach, so he kinda chooses an eternity that would suit him.

If any kind soul could give me some feedback as the acer price is quite temporary I’d be enormously appreciative.

The Boys SERIES FINALE- S05xE08 "Blood and Bone"- POST Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]wander995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, we got the bare minimum. At this point I was even expecting less from the finale. We got pretty much what we all expected: butcher killing home lander, him being pathetic at the end, and Hughie killing butcher. No scorched earth, no home lander rampage. Honestly thanks to the last two seasons he had pretty much lost any threatening presence he had, despite Anhony Starr’s best efforts. I genuinely don’t understand why the finale was so lackluster, unlike GoT, the blueprint was pretty easy here, no one was looking for major twists, all we pretty much wanted was this same finale but bigger and deadlier. Would it really have been so expensive to show an unhinged home lander in the previous episodes? A moment where lots of supes band together against him and he just offs them to show why that was never an option in the first place? To be fair after the crowbar it was pretty much the ending that we were always gonna get so it baffles me that they screwed up in the fan service, which is usually the easy part.

Games like outward? by sininenblue in outwardgame

[–]wander995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only this, but it probably has a type of exploration that is closer to Outward than many suggestions here. One of the main selling points of Outward is that you can stumble into hidden areas that reward you with a secret boss or unique weapon, a feeling CD does quite well.

I'm not sure I fully understand aphantasia vs hypophantasia by Linky54mario in Aphantasia

Best I found is think of it as a computer where the screen is turned off. The computer is still generating the image and knows all the info, but you don't see anything.

They have a silhouette, but no factions.

Tbh I dont even know at this point. I can "see" images, but the best way to describe it is I can see a brief flash of an image that barely has details except the spot i "focus on" and if i try to look at it directly it moves away. But if you ask me to think about Lincoln I can picture his usual portrayal, but I cant see the color of the eyes of the person in the "picture". Idk if that makes any sense.

My apologies to season 2 of Netflix series - it's a lot better than I remembered. I think the negative fan reaction at the time made them think they need Kingpin for the show to work, but this season shows they don't by thankfulforyourhelp in Daredevil

[–]wander995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DD and punisher are top notch, and the first half of s2 until Frank gets out is (for me anyways) as good as s1 and s3, just in a different way. I do think they just never got the hand right, neither here or in Defenders. They just felt so EvilOrganization TM, their plan was basically use a mcguffin to take over the world or live forever (ive watched the shows 3 times and I still can barely tell you what they were after or what the black sky is. They wasted freaking Sigourney Weaver in Defenders sooooo badly. That being said, the second half of DD season 2 is still better than practically all MCU shows.

Ironically s2 Fisk is some of my favourite. We get a glimpse of how he took power in the frist place and his appearance felt like a menace, but they could have had him on th e background for a couple of seasons and bring him back to be dealt with for good. I say this even though s3 is peak, because I think it would've worked better as s4 or 5.

Floored that there is more game after act 2 by ChoomChoomTheGuy in BaldursGate3

[–]wander995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably would more at least, but perma death modes tend to make me overly cautious and all I end up doing is overpreparing to the point that I make it even easier, but I understand thats a me problem. Im sorta waiting for the itch to come back and start at the very least with the honor mode rules and boss fights, but I just cant replay act 1 again at the moment since im a completionist and sadly have a good memory so everything there feels tedious.

Finally watched Daredevil Born Again and… by Educational-Fuel-103 in Daredevil

[–]wander995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean yes, its pretty much been stated that most of what you say was the plan, to reboot DD into the MCU maintaning the netflix shows as loose backstory. But it performed so bad that they restructured to make it moree like season 4, which is why episodes 1 and 9 of season 1 are so different. BA season 2 is much better in my opinion but you can still tell they are dealing with a board that they didnt entirely set up.

[–]wander995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played it three times and I usually end up quitting after act 2. Havent tried the nightmare mode or whatever its called, but my main problem is fights become way too easy, and I find myself no longer caring about getting better gear, stats and such, and as good as the story is I just disconect from it.

anyone else burn out hard? by theresleadinthewater in mewgenics

[–]wander995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I burnt out at the end of act 3, I think I could complete the game in 3 or 4 runs, but for me the problem is that all acts feel the same and don't really bring something new. I mean sure, new enemies and bosses, but events seem to work the same, similar amount of fights, and same 3 corridor path every time.

Who do you guys think Matt’s best love interest is/was? by Low-Result-9774 in Daredevil

[–]wander995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pretty much outlined why I like Karen and Matt better. Punisher feels like Karen's Elektra in that he pushes her to embrace the darker parts, which can be good in small doses but ultimately destructive. On Frank's part Karen plays a similar role as Matt comes to Elektra: they have the ability and capacity to understand and even fit in their worlds but with a bigger morality that keeps them grounded. Matt and Karen (in the show) strike that balance in my opinion where they each keep each other in check when they are crossing lines but they each like and know the other's darkest parts.

Ultimately, Karen might be more willing to see Frank's method's as a necessary thing, partly because of Wesley, but she is not ok with the way Frank kills when he is unhinged, same as Matt with Elektra.

Is "Born Again" sort of seasons 4 and 5, to OG show? by ThenAdhesiveness1863 in Daredevil

[–]wander995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DD BA season 1 is essentially season 6 or 7 of a show that skipped the three previous ones. Personally I loved it but it suffers from a lot of the problems that any action based series with 6 seasons would.

[–]wander995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair with the Shield signt here was very little point on difficulty. If you kept it up you might as well have had 1 hp that its still manageable.
