The show doesn't really follow the books at all.

I feel like this should have been obvious when the Nilfgaardians showed up wearing penis scrotum armor. That wasn't in the books.

>>46881
i liked the 1st season. never seen or read anything from the witcher before that

>>46903
The first season was really good. It's what got me interested in the books. Don't know what the fuck happened to season 2.

>>46904
the writers who hate the source material started writing their own ideas instead of following the books, and eventually it made Henry Cavill leave because he wanted the show to follow the books. it was reported through the entire production how much he was playing script doctor to get the show closer to the books and he ultimately lost to the writers.

it's a common issue with adaptations where you need to attach a production to an existing property to guarantee interest, but the writers don't necessarily care about the material because it's a business decision. when you have adaptations made by people who actually understand and care about the source material adaptations tend to go better.

I just wanted to continue this post a bit, to explain part of why I'm promoting pro-wrestling.
As an aside, picrel is a Japanese wrestler named Veny. Veny is a trans woman and both quite popular and successful on the Japanese pro-wrestling scene at the moment.
Now, I think pro-wrestling has a lot to offer from a leftist perspective. Which sounds absurd, given that its original audience was redneck hicks, but hear me out.
Pro-wrestling is the antithesis of MMA in many ways. In MMA, you can be the meanest, most selfish fuck ever to step on the mat and, so long as you're stronger than everyone else, people just have to take it and accept you as a winner and sing your praises. At its core, it's a very right-wing sport. Winning is all that matters in the end.
Pro-wrestling, on the other hand, is a storytelling medium. In the past, it was full of men who looked out for themselves but the mentality has changed for the most part - those types gravitate towards MMA. Instead, pro-wrestlers largely understand that they are a team. While in MMA you are competing against your opponent, in pro-wrestling you are actually working together to put on a show where it *appears* you are in competition. Whether you win or lose personally is less important than whether the match you put on is entertaining and tells a good story. You're not doing it for yourself or your own self-aggrandizement, but rather for the sake of the fans who made an effort to come see you.
And it's the stories that matter. In my earlier example, in MMA the bad guy wins if he's stronger. In pro-wrestling, being the good guy matters. What everyone is waiting for is the good guy who will finally beat the bad guy and finally put him in his place like he deserves. There is a hopefulness about it, and hope is central to the human experience because without hope of victory there is rarely anything to drive people to make things better in the first place.
Interestingly enough, despite pro-wrestling having a reputation as being a right-wing form of entertainment (despite that not having any mooring in reality - studies have shown most pro-wrestling fans are left leaning - https://www.businessinsider.com/politics-sports-you-like-2013-3 - look at the bottom of the chart), many pro-wrestlers are actually left-wing, including here in the US.

Grovit, anyone?

Coach in the video was involved in a Japanese promotion called "Bushido " in the early 90's. Just about the realist fake wrestling ever, if that makes sense. I remember watching it on cable via a top box on my telly.
Carl Beijer has written a load of stuff about pro-wrestling. I'll look for a link and see if there's any that isn't paywalled.

90's Japanese pro-wrestling was where it was at, really. Hard hitting and not nearly as "fake" as it is now.
Of course, there was a lot of scumminess too.

No argument there.
He showed up for one last show earlier this year, right before the LA fires.
He was booed, hard. And he was booed because most pro-wrestling fans hate the guy for who he is because he reflects a view of the world many wrestling fans do not embrace.

I love that for him.

>Hulk Hogan Was a Very Bad Man
Now he's a very dead man

>AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! IT'S NOT COLD!!!

does eating relatively late in the day or compressing most of your meals into a relatively short time almost following each other make you gain weight?

>>46841
eating makes you gain weight

>>46841
you'll gain the same amount of weight whenever you eat, but you may get a slightly better effect on muscle vs fat gain if you eat right after training, and if you constrain your meals to a shorter window (intermittent fasting) you can help stimulate more fat burning.

>>46851
Isnt it opposite, you should spread put your meals over the course of day to maximalise musle growth?

I‘m training to fuck mid air. It‘s more difficult than I thought. At this time I‘m lifting a 60kg ball and hold it for around 2 minutes. My goal is to eventually reach 90kg for a couple of minutes to make the real application effortless. Anyone else doing this? Any tips?

Can commies reclaim Superman or is he forever destined to be an AmeriKKKan propaganda mouthpiece?

>>46370
Mafalda is Peak tho.

>>46376
I think about this a lot. There's some Alex Ross comic where superman tries to fix the world or some shit. He tries to bring food to starving Africans and of course the evil dictator blows it up, and supes has a cry about it. Then I think about the scene in Marvelman where Marvs tells all the world leaders that we're doing socialism now. Margaret Thatcher tries to tell him no, and he basically tells her "I'm not asking" and glares at her so hard it damn near kills her.

Peacemaker S2 released

I watched this, there was a scene where one of the characters says something like: "veektor perhaps youre zhe real monster" and I couldnt help but laugh. If you get past the fact that Del Toro holds his audience of sensitive little thespians in deep contempt, it's a fine parody of Del Toro films.

so… was it real, or was it a dream?

>>46860
Real

pretty leftist movie, ecological for sure
I admire that emma stone shaved her head for the role

>>46853
we still have it >>32096

>>46872
your "hes" refer to two characters here so it's a bit confusing
maybe we'll get a better explanation in season 3

>>46872
>I dont think its this, its "his soul is hers and in exchange he is the most powerful demon in hell", so when vox declare himself the strongest when he is at his peak he get stronger to compensate
No, Alastor makes it clear what happened then is the pack with cannibal lady being broken by no longer being most powerful, and then later makes some sort of deal with her in exchange for joining the friendship circle.

Ok, this show is good now because of this character

>>46884
I think it's nice that Kimiko Glenn got to sing in Japanese

i wish charlie would be my gf unironically… my personality is similar to vaggie's so maybe it would work

Zootopia doesn't directly map Western race themes into their setting, at least with any cohesiveness or consistency, but does sprinkle in plenty of references to it, perhaps to signal that a distinct but similar social categorization causes tension in their setting.
But I think it's fun to playfully extend the metaphor anyway.

Let's start with Nick's (purported) transspecies son.

Watching Mighty Nein. I'm so fucking tired of fantasy settings that are way too similar to the modern world. Just constant quipping from autistic nerds who suck at humor and dialogue that's indistinguishable from IRL today. It would even be fine if it was contained to 1-2 characters but not the whole fucking world.
