Still spot-on. This article reminded me of your post https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/amazon-prime-video/fallout-tv-series-ending-explained-spoilers-streaming-industry-corporations.

Just read through the Judge Dredd spinoff comic Fall of Deadworld, or at least what's available now. It's not a bad apocalypse adventure story, and the art is really good at being creepy and unsettling.

I fucking cannot with Tim's characters anymore lol
He's blending together so many different people into one character, Bill Maher but also JP but also Steven Crowder maybe? It's surreal, like one of those DJs that plays with 4 decks at once.

I watched the first three seasons recently, it's funny and laudably captures a very common Type of Guy, but not gonna lie I kinda feel like I don't need to watch any more, I feel like they're running out of ideas already. Do they shake things up in any way later?

>>42355
I guess if you like Tim and Eric Awesome Show humor and are invested in the character arcs enough, then you can keep watching
I like seeing their warped takes on movies that I've watched sometimes

I love how the "After The Episode" column has presumably been broken by Elon Musk's fuck-up of Twitter. It's an amazing new dimension to the whole thing.

adaption vs original comic book counterpart

So these characters in question are a group called the Watchdogs, who were an explicit neo-fascist organisation that wants to return America to the golden age. They are fought by John Walker (the new government appointed Captain America) and Lemar Hoskins(the new bucky). Now the thing is both of these guys are conservatives as well and they do agree with some of their values bur don't condone what their doing. Ultimately the arc is more about John and Lemar having to re-examine their own political values and what they can cause. In the show they are presented as a right-wing militia who are bigoted towards aliens and meta-humans. Now the show wants us to consider these guys wrong, but it really fails to do so. This is because in the show's universe aliens invaded and killed millions of people and the first arc of the season was about an alien virus that was driving people insane. Given these circumstances, they were completely reasonable to be "bgotted" towards meta-humans and aliens.

It's primarily this. It's why Mad Hatter has gone from a crazy guy who puts mind control cards into people's hats to make them commit Wonderland themed crimes to a child trafficker who specializes in prepping little blonde girls into sex slaves.

What we really need to talk about is the Nolanification of pornography.

How about they stop giving these movie gargantuan budgets instead? Old TV shows don't need to have fucking Blockbuster budgets per goddamn episode. People will absolutely be fine with a character-driven Hank Pym prequel series with very modest sets, some simple looking shrinking effects, and only the occasional fight scene that can be done cheaper if it's done PRACTICALLY and not with a thousand things happening all at once.

I think it's funny this guy and Woody Allen have been making a movie a year for the last half century, yet you only hear about one every 10 years.

>>42277
Ok I looked it up, I guess he has periods where he makes a movie a year, then he does take 10 years off.

>>42275
If I wanted to watch the cinema equivalent of lemonparty I'd just watch The Irishman again.

Actually one of two movies I am impatiently waiting for cinematic release of. Everything I heard about it seems great, including the criticisims.

Same. Coppola is at his best making grandiose messes.

The guy also did a video on fighting with a Rapier
>How Would a Katana Swordmaster Fight with a Rapier?

The description has other such videos, such as analysis of use of a Longsword.

Channel is called World of Armor - Russian channel about making or analyzing armor, arms and shields
Vid rel is a multi-use shield from the late medieval-early renaissance period

>A shield which is also a sword breaker, a rondache, or a lantern shield - multitool of the Renaissance. This is a shield, a gauntlet, a blade, and even a sword.

>>42139
Could I dual wield gauntlet shields?

>>42169
It'd probably harder to manipulate quickly and skillfully than it looks. But theoretically yes.

>>42109
i think the opposite, that "unique" doesnt automatically mean good, or rather, its not as clear cut as that. i disagree with the idea of "expressing yourself" via your clothes too tbh

>>42109
>>42115
Does this mean that I can detectivemaxx and engage in tactical espionage action in the same fit?

thicc frames have always been seen as dorky i think
wire frames have the benefit of metal=shiny and being more understated i think

>>42299
The more fashion conscious prefer thick frames while wire frames are nowadays associated to self-conscious nerds

Super is weirdly apocryphal the main character is literally a chinletjak. Its the most realisitic super hero movie imho since its just a schizo christofascist who doles out unnecessary violence on lumpenproles until the end where they face off with actual organized criminals and sidekick literally gets there head blowed off. I didn't like the ending at all and thought it was a forced happy ending. Its a weird ass movie but viewing as a satire on /pol/yp LARPers is pretty funny

RIP Rogue's Ass

Funniest part is that most of the men are still muscular.

Also inb4 "Muh mutants and Rogue were meant to represent the gay struggle"
Stan Lee literally created the idea of Mutants because he was tired of creating hundreds of backstories for the superpowers his characters had, so it was just "the X-Gene" and it let him create characters more freely… that's it, that was the entire motivation behind the X-Men. And the idea of alienation and wanting to be accepted by society is a universal concept among all people. The flamboyant designs are also just because it was cool, and literally applies to most superheroes in DC and Marvel that have no relation to the X-Men. If gay people identified with it, then good for them, but it wasn't intended to be specific to any one person or group, and people trying to say that are projecting their own political views onto illustrated power-fantasies for children and teens.

IMO Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is probably the best version of the Avengers. Venxous has a good video series on the individual characters and generally its pretty well made for a capeshit cartoon series.

Also the intro theme slaps.

aw

Nice bird!

>>41963
yessir tho I'm worried about it. Seems way to chill around me and the dog so I hope it doesn't need help cuz I'm not going to intervene and the only local wildlife rescue closed recently

As I reiterated in >>>/alt_archive/5937 Cameron's recent ventures have given me little faith in him. The same applies to Ridley Scott with his abysmal Alien Covenant and how he essentially killed Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 attempt by basically pressuring the studio to prioritize his shoddy Prometheus trilogy, dooming a promising sequel that offered an alternate Alien 3 scenario. I bring this up because Alien Romulus is coming out soon and while the teaser doesn't tell me enough about it's quality, the fact that BOTH Ridley Scott and James Cameron not only publicly supported the film (giving me Terminator Genysis/Dark Fate vibes) but also gave input/criticism/advice (i.e. pressure a la Dark Fate) to Director Fede Álvarez, who stated:
>"It’s also fascinating because [Cameron and Scott’s] notes and comments are completely different. (Laughs.) They wouldn’t repeat a note. Whatever Ridley said, Cameron said something different."
Although innocuous in a vaccuum considering the similarities to behind-the-scenes regarding the Alien and Terminator franchises, it makes me wary.

However it's not all doom and gloom. The trailer's atmosphere reminded me of the recent Dark Descent video-game which really embraced the grimdark aspect of xenomorphs. I only hope they don't do shitty, dark lighting, as often happens nowadays, a la AvP: Requiem . Álvarez seems to be genuine about his appreciation for the franchise, though simply saying such things isn't much with how often that claim is used.

The cast has potential although they're a little too young IMO, but we'll see, maybe they're just the survivors while the adults die, or some adult characters may feature as secondary roles.
Isabela Merced is a wonderful actress, playing one of the leading roles, so I have hopes for her. Amara Namani wasn't great in her break-out film Pacific Rim: Uprising, but she wasn't terrible either, I think it was just bad directing that undercut her, so I think she might pull it off, especially with that Ripley visual reference in the trailer. Tommy Collins is also a pretty good actor, being quite real in the roles I've seen.

The plot summary so far is promising, reminiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Just saw the teaser, not hopeful. CGI face huggers chasing people around, and it looks basically like a remake of the original. I love that film, and other works that use the Alien license, but I don't reckon this will stand out from any other monster-in-space film. Why do we need it? It's like that The Thing prequel that nobody remembers.

>>41221
>it looks basically like a remake of the original.
I don't think so, it's just a similar aesthetic, which makes sense given what its about.
>CGI facefuggers
Yeah that is pretty lame NGL.
>I don't reckon this will stand out from any other monster-in-space film… Why do we need it?
Alien and Aliens is a pretty damn high bar tbh, I'd just appreciate a good movie in the same verse. The older films and media are fun, but something new (that isn't schlock like Prey or Covenant) would be nice.
>It's like that The Thing prequel that nobody remembers
I 'member… it wasn[t that great but I thought the prequel was pretty decent for something made essentially by fans with a budget. Although if you're looking for a similar movie to The Thing, try Harbinger Down (2015).

Honestly I'm just sad we'll never see Blomkamp's ideas realized

>>4093
Really not a fan of the second film, but I loved the first one. The scene where the protagonist drops to his knees at the ruined Statue of Liberty was perfect.

They should just adapt the post Aliens comic books where Hicks, Newt, and Ripley team up to kill the Queen Mother and the Earth gets wrecked by mind controlled xenomorph cultists.
