Enders Game was really good. Was the movie any good?

The movie is only half the book because half of the book is about Ender and where all the action and explosions take place, while the other half is about his two older siblings who eventually take over the world with memes and sockpuppets of all things.

There are some minor differences such as the class being older. Ender is 6 at the start of the novel. He's 16 in the movie. Bean has no special importance despite what later novels would retcon in. The aliens don't get referred to as "Buggers" for fairly obvious reasons.

The major events are all in place, however and play out as they do in the book. It's worth watching at least once.

Whether he owns a home computer or not is irrelevant to being given one for work purposes. No company should ever let someone use their own pc for work when the resources exist to provide a suitable alternative, for reasons relating to both work and insurance policies.

Nah the cat gets that money.

J/k, it was already getting that money because there was nothing else to spend it on other than more takeaway food.

  1. I am, inevitable. <clunk>

And I, am, Iron Man. <snap>

  1. Avengers, assemble. [Portals version where the phrase finally gets said]

  2. On your left.

  3. You could not live with your own failure, where did that bring you? Back to me.

  4. I'm still worthy!

So because Moclans only piss once every few years you're saying Imp is too wound up and just needs to unclench for once?

Probably apt advice, all things considered.

Which is the main reason for the conspiracy theory that GeneralBoobs is Imp.

Haven't gone to a cinema in years at this point but JFC I can't imagine going to see a film and there being any other noise coming from the audience other than expected laughter. The fact stereotypes about black audiences have them not STFU means any brawls that break out aren't a surprise because there are going to be many people at those viewing who want to view the film. 🙄

High Evolutionary is white in the comics and almost always wearing a helmet. MCU casting is shit for showing the face of actors most of the time when the faceless villain/uncanny valley mask is meant to be part of the point.

If Cavill ends up making a popular enough production it will inevitably attract the usual social parasites and glory hunters that always show up once a product is considered widespread and appealing rather than niche and weird.

General spoilers for Morrowind ahead.

As much as I love Morrowind the fact that the plot is close to Wheel of Time, in terms of the Nerevarine being the Elder Scrolls version of The Dragon Reborn, means Nerevar would get the Rand al'Thor treatment but with actual gender swapping and not just some stupid convoluted idea that Nynaeve, or any random woman, could in fact be Lews Therin Telamon.

Throw in the prophecy about Nerevar returning to save Morrowind from shit going bad and the encroaching Imperials means you also have a very likely Daenerys 2.0 white saviour plot going that modern day writers would wank themselves silly over since the native residents are the Dunmer, also called Dark Elves because their skin is the colour of ash for plot reasons.

Wouldn't surprise me if under such a production that the leaders of some, if not all, of the Great Houses ended up a particular shade of gray that was more convenient for Woke purposes while the protagonist friendly Dunmer were otherwise shaded.
